"Let me guess, you were busy flirting with girls." Carol said.
"No, it was actually the vice vasa; girls were the ones busy flirting with me." Joe replied then laughed.
"If you don't mind, can I have some time alone with Ham?" Carol then requested.
"Yeah sure, just don't take forever; you know what I mean." Joe replied with a naughty tone then he winked.
"You are such a perv Joe, just get the hell out of here." Carol said with a light tone.
She waited until Joe was out of the room, then she closed the door and came and sat on my bed beside me. She stayed silent for a while then she placed her arm on my shoulders and said;
"I know you hate me for what happened yesterday Ham; it was all my fault, I should not have insisted you go with me to the party. I am really sorry dear."
At first I ignored her and pretended to be asleep. She saw that I was not responding but she was sure I was not asleep, I was pretending.
"I just came to let you know that I regret everything and if there was something I could do to clean up the mess I led you to, I sure would do it Ham. I don't wanna lose our friendship while it is still young." She said desperately.
I had no issue with Carol since it was not her fault; I was mad at myself for accepting to be swayed off my principles. Even if it was not his fault, I was also mad at Mike because he made me trust him then he betrayed me.
He left me when I needed him most and worst of it all, he denied knowing me. I turned and faced Carol then I said;
"I don't hate you Carol, I hate myself for being so stupid to believe that it would be any fun. It is my mess, I will clean it myself. If you don't mind, I wish to be alone Carol, I am best when alone."
"Haman I can't leave you alone in this, it was my fault. If I could not have asked you to stay at the party, you could not be in this mess. Please don't push me away." She replied desperately.
"I am not, I am just asking for some time alone. I don't feel like having company right now so please I will let you know when I am myself. And it was not your your fault, yours was a suggestion and I made the decision." I said trying to sound polite.
She stared at me with empathic eyes then she slowly bent over to my lips and kissed me. I just stared at her as if she was a stranger I slowly then turned my back on her and closed my eyes.
It was not my intention to snob her kiss but a kiss was the last thing I needed at that moment; considering the fact that I was kissing when the whole mess happened.
"Carol, just leave please. I will see you tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." I said politely then I covered myself completely.
She got up and I could hear her footsteps as she walked to the door. She unlocked the door and walked out then few minutes later, Joe came back to the room.
He came and sat on my bed then tapped me on my shoulder and said;
"Am sorry man, I had no idea what you are going through. Can I be of any help? I just hate it to see you like this bro."
"Am good Joe, I just wanna be alone right now." I replied.
"Come on dude, you are never alone, I am your roomie bro, it is my duty to make sure you are alright because if it was me, I would expect you to have my back as well. Let me get you something to eat." He said then got off from the bed and walked out.
He later came back with packed food and forced me to wake up and eat; I had judged him wrongly, Joe was a good friend unlike Mike.
While I was forcing myself to eat because my belly was empty, Carol's friends came to check on Joe and one of them happened to make fun of me.
Joe got up from the bed and walked to the door, opened it then said;
"Jane and your friends, this is not funny anymore; just get out of our room!"
"Come one Joe, I was just trying to cheer him up; I thought he would find a joke in it." Jane replied with a tone full of regrets.
"You are unbelievable! Instead of being there for him, you are here tormenting him in the name of cheering him up. All of you, out! We don't need any visitors right now; hate me if you want to, but I will not sit here and watch you torment a brother." Joe said raising his voice.
"Whatever! Girls let us go, not like it is a must we hangout here anyways." Jane replied rudely.
Carol was not with them, my guess was that she was avoiding me because of the kiss I had assumed. The girls got up and began walking to the door but one particular girl remained seated.
"Mulki, what the hell are you waiting for? I said all of you to walk out!" Joe shouted at the lady.
I had been observing the girls from the first time they came to the room and I could tell that Mulki felt odd one out in the crew. She was ever quiet and when the other girls were chanting as a group, she was entirely on her phone.
"I just wanna stay Joe, please let me stay." She replied timidly.
"No one is staying Mulki, just follow your friends." Joe replied.
"It's okay Joe, she can stay; she is different." I said smiling at her.
She smiled back then looked down and when she looked up again, our eyes locked. She shied off and looked away. The other girls walked out of the room and Joe closed the door then came back and sat on my bed.
"Mulki, can I ask you something?" I asked after a moment of silence.
She looked up and nodded her head to indicate that I could go ahead and ask my question.
"What makes you admire them and want to be like them?" I asked.
She just looked away and her smile faded away slowly; my question must have hurt her feelings.
"Am sorry if my question has offended you Mulki, just assume it and let it pass." I said calmly.
"No Ham, I am not offended. I just don't know where to begin answering it." She replied sounding tensed.
Just the she received a text message and after reading it, she became restless.....
