Two Mistakes Ago

Chapter 11

Wallclock's P.O.V

This girl. I can hardly understand her. She spends all her time watching telenovelas or writing in her diary. Too bad my eyes are so weak, I can't read what she is writing. Her sheepish smiles reminds me of when Nancy was in love with me....or could it be, my Sheila is in love with that rascal who took her out all night. That was the worst night of my life. We had just arrived in this new place and she had agreed to go clubbing with a stranger- accepted. But what was unacceptable was that she returned late the following day in completely different clothes. I was shocked...and tonight, tonight too she is going out. Her dress is soo revealing but the innocence on her face doesn't make her look like a bad girl. I'm worried. She was obviously going to end up in trouble with this kind of carefree lifestyle. I wish I had the physical hands to grab a phone and call aunt Mara immediately....

Arhg..I hated it when this stupid clock won't stop buzzing when it's twelve. Well that's what I get for living in a wall clock...

Fifteen minutes after the clock stopped buzzing and I finally had some chill, the door swang open. Sheila was laughing uncontrollably...and there was another voice, a male voice...

"Bae, thanks a zillion. At least I would have a decent place to pass the night" he squeaked.

"Oh boo, that's not a problem. What you...you..." she was pointing a wavering finger at the bearded guy without scruples... "you have done a lot for me and I am so happy!"

"Me? What did I do? Obviously you are drunk girl....You know what I'll let you get some rest. I'll lie in the couch okay?"he said full of lust in his ugly eyes.

"You made Daniel jealous! Shot after shot! Each time you pressed the glass against my lips and I swallowed zealously, his eyes fumed with anger! Such an idiot...haha!"

"Oh so its about Danny boy? You like the guy?"

"Yes! Hehe..I mean yes it was about him. I took several shots with him last week and he felt like the boss. I thought we were friends or something but that punk ignored me throughout the week. After such an unsual encounter, he treated me as if I were some kind of stranger. Too bad I found myself another kind of company today...he certainly didn't like the idea!"

"I don't know whatever happened between you guys. The only guy you spoke to at the club was Nana...but you should know this. My friends are strange..and whatever happens at DNA stays at DNA. They are back to their professional selves once they step out of DNA..."

"To hell with professional nonsense! It was not only at DNA, other things happened outside DNA that night!"

"Well, I don't get you...but Sheila this could ruin you if you are trying to get his attention and all that...look Danny boy has no heart...and apparently he doesn't 'do' girls....."

"Shut up! Silly boy baby.....I don't want anyone to 'do' me! I only want to sleep now...." She said drunkenly. "Hahaha...Daniel.. Just Daniel is a complete idiot...

I was lost! This conversation was something else. Sheila and alcohol? Who were those guys they were talking about? Daniel and whoever? Nana?? Okay, and what I do not understand is the fact that she's brought this walking accident into her house. How can she forget her experience with Seth?
How could she possibly allow this guy to live here with her?
Anyway, it wasn't my problem. I don't have to worry my head over 'human' issues.

The next morning, when she woke up, she marched straight into the bathroom humming on Wutah's " today is Friday". Obviously, she was excited it was a Friday. When she finished bathing, she wore a beautiful pale orange dress....I didn't even understand why she applied full bridal makeup on her face, when she was just going to work. She was looking gorgeous, her tan skin was glittering and the colour of her weave was to die for.

"You good?" the monster yelled from the parlour. "Are you ready to go face Cruella's torture? "

"Why do you guys keep calling her that behind her back! I don't even know what her actual name is! Everyone calls her that sh*ty name!" She yelled.

"Well, she's cruel, and she's a woman..so that's it. Don't you know that statistics has proven that out of every 100 women, about 98 of them have their name's ending with an 'A'?...like Sheila?... Yeah so that's the origin of the name...Or wait, you'd rather we called her 'Cruellie', or 'Cruellsie'....?

"You are so lame! I won't listen to you at all! That's like the worst thing I can waste my precious morning doing...listening to you! My time is worth several pots of gold...and I won't stress my beautiful eardrum listening to trash!" She said playfully.

"He he...but honestly, you are pretty Sheila, very pretty", he said. "But the problem is you don't even know how beautiful you are....

"OK! I'm blushing..satisfied? Washing complete!* She said.
(washing complete - perfect flattering)

"Not at all, I am being honest. You are beautiful... and very kind hearted.."

"Whatever".. she said putting the contour brush in front of the dressing mirror.

"Well that was polite", he said. "But remember, Cruella awaits you!"

"Okay, here we go E.L. can you take some photos of me. I want to upload them on IG. My fans are waiting", she said beaming with smiles.

"Fans? This girl! So just because you are a host of that chicken telenovela chat room, you think you are celeb?" Laughing out loud!" He burst out laughing.

"Haha! Who says 'lol' in real life? We only use that in writing and for the records, I am a superstar okay! I have so many followers on Instagram who love Jodha Akbar!!!not only because its dramatic and intriguing but also because its actually a history of India. It's about Emperor Jalahuddin Mohammad Akbar of the Mugal empire and the love he had for the Rajput princess Jodha. According to history, Jodha was Jamal's favorite w...

"Enough! Its still a chicken story!!"he interrupted rudely. "Oya, hand me the phone and give your best pose, I'm definitely not taking more than three shots".
