She's The Queen Of Trouble √√

chapter twenty two - Wrong surprise

Lisa's p.o.v

I woke up the next morning feeling unsure of what I was about to do, I had spent the whole night restless turning and tossing. My nightmares were back and this time they felt so real.

But the worst of all was the little ache that erupted in my heart every now and then, somehow it was like something would build up inside of me then crush in a very painful way.

I had only heard that love was a beautiful feeling but also a dangerous one that came along with pain and somehow I knew this was it, I only had one hope, that Eddy had been sincere about what he had said.

Even though I had been sleepy back at his family cabin I had not missed those words, the kiss had been in my mind since then and there was no way I would erase that little memory.

I was not in the mood for breakfast and so I took a shower and wore my blue jeans and a gray hood. The weather was a bit chilly and somehow my mood matched it.

There was this feeling I could not shake off, my stomach churned uncomfortable and I just hoped for the best out of my act.

I tried one more time to ring up Eddy but the call was unaswered, after contemplating for a while on whether to push through with my plan I finally decided to find out on what Eddy was upto once and for all.

I took a bus and then walked through the neighbourhood where Eddy lived, the place only screamed wealth and the mansions were a piece of art made by the best architectures I supposed.

Its like this people were not living in the same world as I, it was like heaven and earth, two different worlds, no one was actually walking, the only things that passed me were big vehicles.

I was sure those who saw me were wondering what this poor thing was doing in their neighbourhood, I pulled my hood more tight to cover my face.

Finally I reached Eddy's house but I was not sure whether I had done the right thing by coming here, but maybe It would be a nice surprise and he wouldn't get mad for my visit.

Who are you kidding Lisa?

Ofcourse he'll be happy to see me

Ooh Lisa you are so naive he doesn't care about you

My mental conversations were doing battles in my head and there was only one way of knowing which voice was right. Yes by just knocking on the door.

There's a bell Lisa, they don't knock here

Oh right I had forgotten that, this was not the same as my neighbourhood. I climbed the little steps to the door before pressing the door bell.

At first no one answered and I pressed again, still no one answered before I could press the third time, I heard the chain on the door being unlocked on the other side.

I took a quick breath as I felt tensed, what would I say to him? Why was I here this early morning? I literary tried to straighten my clothes which was just smoothening my hood.

Okay just take it easy Lisa, just breath

I took another breath before trying to put on my best smile, the door opened and there was Eddy standing, he was shirtless only cladded in shorts. His hair was messy and he was bare footed.

It looked as though he had just come out of bed, I stood there ogling at him my smile so plastic that it felt stupid. After a few seconds I found my voice although it was scratchy.

"Ohh he..y hey..there?"

"What are you doing here Lisa?"

The tone of his voice made me think this was a mistake, he looked and sounded surprised as though he did not want me to even come here. I had to look for something to justify my coming here.

"U..uu.m I tried calling you but you did not answer so I thought I would check if you were alright.

His muscles flexed which showed he was restless, his expression showed impatience and at that moment I just wanted to leave.

"U..uu..m thank you Lisa, I've just been busy but thank you for checking on me, I'll call you up when am free"

He was still holding the door and he did not invite me in either, this was just to tell me that I should leave. I felt a pain shoot in my heart and even though I didn't know what a heart attack felt like, to me it felt like one.

"Alright, I'll leave now, take care"

He nodded and was about to close the door, I still had not taken even one step when I heard a girl calling out to him.

"Hey beby, what's taking you so long? Who's on the door?"

I swear I just wanted to faint, I felt betrayed I looked at Eddy and its like he was struggling to blink, he swallowed hard before answering her.

"Just a friend, but he's already leaving"

I couldn't believe my ears he even had the audacity to refer to me as a guy friend, but what did I expect from a rich spoilt brat like him? I was to blame and i felt stupid for falling for him.

He did not ask you to be his girl Lisa

I did not need the mental conversations right now, the tears threatened to fall and I had to leave.

The girl called out to him again and this time he moved back to close the door, my legs refused to move

"Am coming Claudia"

I felt he had said that on purpose so I would know that he was back with her, or maybe he had just lied to me and she had still been his girlfriend all along.

My legs were trembling and my head started aching as of my heart it was on fire.

Was this how it felt to be heart broken?

Before Eddy could close the door I caught a glimpse of Claudia standing at the back end in her all glory, it was evident that she was keeping him busy.

The door was shut on my face and I just stepped back slowly almost missing the steps before I felt a tear drop.

I walked slowly not looking where I was going as I tried to find my way back home, my heart felt heavy and I just wanted to break down and cry it all out.

It had been a wrong surprise.
