Temi**
I turned on the shower and stood in there for a long while, the hot water slapping down on to my skin, causing me to flinch once and a while. Why was I so sad? I eventually left the shower, switching it off and walked into my room drying myself on the way. Bianca had called me earlier this morning saying she couldnt cover for me at work no more and that I had to come in. I havent been to work in two weeks.
I put on my uniform and flung on my black air maxes before throwing my extensions - that were in serious need of a touch up - into a bun, putting minimal makeup on before leaving. Walking to the bus stop I saw Bianca look up from her phone - most probably talking to Reece - and smile at me as I approached, placing her phone into her back that was flung on her shoulder.
'Hey' she said hugging me, her hair and body smelling of her sweet vanilla cream and body spray. I hugged her back and gave her a small smile.
'Hey'
'I've missed you! Why havent you come to lectures?' she asked as she put her hand out for the bus. I sighed as we got on the bus, paying our fare, before walking upstairs and sitting down near the back.
'You know why Bianca, that picture'
'No one else has seen it though' she said, her nose crinkling a little in confusion.
'Yeah but Tommi has' I said playing with my fingers. Bianca started nibbling on her bottom lip and nodded her head,
'I'm sure he's over it by now, it's been almost 3 weeks'
'I text him the other day...he's not over it' I replied shaking my head
'I can talk to him if you want?' she offered. I looked at her and smiled a little before shaking my head,
'Nah it's fine'. I watched as she opened her mouth then closed it, nodding her head, before taking out her phone and responding back to whoever was messaging her. It was so weird, I really liked Tommi - but I liked Akeem more. I don't know whether it was the fact that Akeem had a bit more attitude than Tommi or he spoke back to me more, but there was something about him that enticed me, and even after all that he has done, I was still interested. I know it sounds crazy, but I don't remember anything from the drink up apart from me and him having amazing sex, so I don't know the reason as to why he sent the picture around and apparently neither does Bianca. But despite this I was hurt and upset. Tommi didn't want nothing to do with me. When he showed me the picture the vein by his temple was pulsing - I'd never seen him so angry before, and now he just wasn't talking to me at all. I wanted Tommi...but I wanted Akeem. I wanted to have my cake and eat it.
Whilst Bianca laughed and typed away on her phone, I took out my own and scrolled through instagram, when I caught Bianca's last photo.
'Who's that?' I asked showing her my phone. She looked up peering at her phone then smiled,
'Oh that's Daniella, she goes our uni', I nodded my head and said 'oh' and looked at the picture. I noticed this girl around uni before and I've seen her at all the ACS meetings, but I never actually thought to speak to her. The picture was of both of them in starbucks with Layla, all three laughing and looking at one another. It was a cute picture.
'This is our stop Temi' said Bianca pressing the bell and nudging me to get up. I flung my phone in my bag and got up, walking behind Bianca and off the bus.
'Do you want to get something to eat afterwards?' Bianca asked looking at me. I looked at her and shrugged my shoudlers, making her frown slightly.
'Oh come one Tems, stop staying in your room and come have dinner! Layla, Daniella and her friend Ella are coming, you can meet them' she said linking arms with me as we walked into the centre. I thought back to the picture of all of them having a good time and nodded my head.
