Fatal Lies [#wattys2018]

Ch.20||Good Kind of Bad

Two weeks passed with little drama, although Nick and Alexys broke up and Jenelle was back to her bitchy self,school had been running smoothly for me.
I was a regular face at the Kuwonu's residence, going in daily to check up on Zion. He's arm had been getting better everyday,the Doc even said he could come back to school in time for the end of term examinations.

My circle of friends had cut down to just six people, given that Zion was not around and Alexys and Nick, well they were taking a break from us and probably from themselves also.I don't know how and why but I wished the best for both of them.

Dad hadn't come back yet,it's not like I was expecting him to but deep down I think I wished he did.
Also my dreams stopped and the feeling of being watched returned.I didn't join Freya for Friday night pizza menia (it's this thing where me and Freya go to the town pizza place and eat as many pizza slices as possible on Fridays) last week because I didn't like the feeling in my guts.

"Angel"
My head turned the instant I heard his deep voice.
"Zion!you came to school",I exclaimed, surprised.
He chuckled and put up his cast free hand.
"All brand new"
"It's not funny, you could have gotten killed",I scolded.
"But I didn't",he smirked.
"Your so full of yourself",I rolled my eyes.
He laughed and scratched his head, something I notice he did when he was nervous .
"Will you come over for dinner?, mum wants you too",he said looking at the floor.
"Yeah, I'd love to",I smiled.
"Great pick you up at seven?"
"Okay"
"Oh and I won't be around school today"
"Why not"
"Got somethings I gotta sort out, but I'll be there in the afternoon"
"You promise?"
He looked at me for a while and then nodded his head.
"Stay safe Angel".

Whatever business he had, he must have taken care of it cause he come at the exact time he had given.
Dinner was nice, I learnt that Zion had an older sister in university, which was quite awsome!.

I helped Zion's mum wash up after dinner,then slowly made my way to his room.
I could hear the slow picking of guitar strings as
I came to a stop at his door and slowly pushed it ajar.
Zion sat at one of his comfy cushions, picking the guitar strings delicately with his fingers.
"I didn't know you could play the guitar!",I said smiling,as I walked into the room.
"Oh,your here",he said, putting the guitar down.
"Oh no,please don't stop playing, it sounded nice",

He picked it up and played a few notes,and I sat beside the window just letting the melody hang in the air.
The notes where like waves crashing on the seashore or the wind whistling in the trees.
"What song is that?",I incurred.
"Oh ,its something I've been working on",he said scratching his head.
"Can I hear it"
"It's not really good"
"I'll be the judge of that"
"Okay then".

🎶we both know that you can't stay this time,
I could hold you everyday,
Could try.
Oh darling, keep smiling,
I need you to know.
You got a heart to call your own, with me you'll always have a home ,
Like the ocean,we are tied.
Lay my jacket where you stay,
As long as the sun can love the moon,from the other side.
I love you,I love you big time.🎶

"Its beautiful",I said as I got up and sat beside him.
"Did you write it?"
"Yeah,for someone very,very special",he smiled, his dimples deepening.
"She must be very lucky",I sighed and tried to stop my heart from breaking a little more.
"Yeah ,she is ,Angel",
He turned around and looked at me.
"Did you know you have green specks around your irises?"
He was too close and I couldn't breathe properly so I just nodded.
"I thought I could do this",he mumbled and ran his fingers through his locks before tilting my chin towards him.
"Do what?"
"Make you fall in love with me",he stated.
"Oh,and?"
"I don't know, I feel a lot of things, Angel,I can't control them all",
"What are you trying to say?"
"I'm trying to say that as much as I want to kiss you right now, I don't know if you'll push me away or you'll stay",he finished, his gaze dropping.
"How will you ever know? you haven't kissed me yet",I smiled taking his face in my hands.
He chuckled and leaned forwards pressing his lips gently on mine,I kissed him back. He tasted awfully of cigars and cinnamon.
He broke our kiss and I lay my head on his chest.
"Angel?"
"Mmhm?"
"Nothing"
I lifted my head from his chest.
"What do you mean nothing",I asked.
"I'm glad you stayed",he chuckled.
"Me too",I smiled.
We stayed like that for awhile, him patting my hair and me listening to his steady heartbeat.
"Its getting late Angel
,I should take you home".

I leaned back on the seat ,my other hands holding his left hand  safely,our fingers entwined.My hands fitting into his like they were made just for him.
He looked at our hands and let out a chuckle.
"What?",I asked,raising an eyebrow.
"Why?",he asked, nodding at our hands.
"Oh,I'm just tryna make sure I'm not hallucinating and this is happening for real"
He let out a laugh and turn his focus back on the road.
"You don't have to,I'm right here Angel".
"I know Zion",I smiled.
Man he made me feel like the luckiest girl in the world, just having him here next to me.
I felt like the world had never felt right until now.

He was bad, but he was the best kind of bad.
