Two Sides Of Tova.

Six

    "Tova, get in the car. Let's bust outta here". Dora said getting impatient while fiddling with her car keys furiously.

  She began to drive through the city as Ara-ñat peered through the window in awe, fascinated of the wonders she has just witnessed.

"What wonders man has done over the years, look at these buildings as they've reached the skies, are people really in there?", she asked astounded.

   I turned to her and whispered,

"These buildings are called skyscrapers, there are other things that I will show you later and yes ,people are in there".

"Who are you talking to?" Dora asked looking at me strangely.

  As she asked this question, I froze thinking of what answer I would give her. My mind was rambling with excuses,

"I..Umm...w..was just talking to myself" I stuttered quickly.

"Hmm" she hummed before turning to me with her lips pulled in a thin line and her eyes showing disbelief. She pulled her car to the side before handing out her credit card to me.

"Here you go and some change for you to catch the bus home" she handed some notes to me.

"Why can't I have my own car?" I frowned.

"Not every one can afford a car and you're just seventeen"

"Yeah and so?"

She sighed,
"Okay second semester, I'll get you a car" she stressed.

"Graçias, Dora", I responded with enthusiasm.
  I got out of the car with Ara-ñat and watched as Dora drove off. Ara-ñat began admiring the building in front if her. I urged her to step through the electric doors. As soon as she stepped forward, it opened automatically. She immediately drew back in fright.

"Its alright Ara-ñat, the doors are programmed to sense when someone is nearby and automatically opens. Its safe you can step through see?" I demonstrated by stepping through the doors showing her how to do so. She also stepped through and became enlightened doing so.

  We browsed together through different stores before entering into a store that sold items meant for school. I showed her each section before looking for a new bag pack for myself.

"Excuse me?" A voice asked from behind me, sensing it belonged to a male I turned to see what he wanted.

  I came to face a god himself, it was as if the heavens opened and was shining golden rays of bright light on his face. Dumbfounded I stood and admired him.

  He wore on a dark leather jacket, without a doubt I'm sure there's a six pack beneath his clothing. He had blue eyes and a sexy dirty blonde hair that was skilfully gelled backwards.

God made him perfect,I thought.

"Are you alright?"he chuckled lightly.

  It took a while for me to realise what I was doing,

"Umm...I'm sorry can I help you?" I asked trying to get myself as I couldn't help feeling embarrassed as how I've been staring. I felt the heat burning my cheeks.

He smiled at me for a moment,

Oh God, help me?!

He spoke with a deep baritone voice that made my legs feel like gello,
"Its nice to know girls still blush, I never see that anymore".

"I saw this lying on the floor and thought I'll be a gentleman by returning it to you". He explained holding out Dora's credit card.

"Oh my God, thank you so much. My sister would have killed my if I'd lost it, how can I repay you?". I appreciated taking the credit card out of his hands.

"Well one good turn deserves another, mind if I tag along ,my family just moved and I'm starting school soon" he said looking at me.

"Sure maybe I could give you a few tips" I replied with a smile.

"Thanks I'm Jack by the way , Jack Gillies" he said.

"Tova Travis".

  I faced Ara-ñat with an amused expression on her face. We walked around the store for a while before leaving to go get hot dogs together. We discussed and then we stepped out of the mall,

"So do you live around here I could drop you off?". He asked.

"Well yeah but thanks I already have a ride home no bother, I insist"

"Okay".

"So I guess this is goodbye?". I said as if asking a question uncertainly.

"Well it wouldn't be if I could get your number?". He said hopefully looking at me.

  I wasn't sure if I should exchange numbers with a stranger even though we spent most of the afternoon talking,

  Just then Ara-ñat placed our hands together where our markings met, I felt a shifting deep within myself as i turned to face my body right before me.

  I was lost for words as I understood that Ara-ñat possessed the body already, she said my number out loud to Jack.  
  I was surprised as to how she knew it and remembered that we share knowledge as well.

  She immediately bowed to jack as she was done, to save myself from embarrassment, I immediately repeated what she did and became in full control again.

"Its traditional greetings where I'm from". I exaggerated.

"Oh alright ". He replied. "Bye"

  And we went our seperate ways.
