12. Help Her Out

SETH

[Next Morning]

I woke up to the loud banging from my door, getting annoyed to who could've make such actions early in the morning.

I cover my ears with my pillow, but the person didn't stop destroying my door.

"Okay! Fine!!" I was forced to get up and open the door, revealing Becky.

"Bro!!!" She yelled and hugs me tight. I roll my eyes out of frustration and hug her back.

"Hey." I sound so disappointed, cutting off my good time with my bed. She breaks the hug and suddenly punch me in my stomach.

"Ow! What was that for!?" I ask her, rubbing my stomach from his heavy punch. She then gave me THAT look.

"What?" I ask, still frustrated.

"We haven't seen each other since last week! Are you keeping out of my attention?"

"No! Why would I do that?"

She then cross her arms and looks at me straight in the eyes.

"Did you just slept too late last night?"

"Yes.. Think so..."

She's still looking in my eyes that made me kinda nervous. Maybe she saw my bruise already.

She comes near me and hold my face, pulling mine close to hers.

"Hey hey- ow! Hey! Stop it!" I yelp in pain as she press onto the bruise. Right, she already saw it.

"Did you just-"

"I can explain." I say, taking off her hand from my face and standing tall in front of her.

"You better have a good excuse here, Lopez. Because if not, I might let that bruise bleed today."

"Can you be at least not pretend like my mother?"

"F*ck you!" She said and I laugh at her. She goes right into my fridge and probably rummage some good stuff. She takes out something and headed to the kitchen, probably cooking. I follow her and takes a seat at the dining table.

"You can start talking now, Lopez." She said. And fun fact, she'd just be calling me by my real name if she's really worried and this means REAL TALK.

I heaved a breathe and finally spoke my first sentence.

"Nikki and I go out last night."

I heard her stop chopping and looks at me, really surprise but at the same time, enlightened.

"Really?" She ask like she's interested.

"Yup." She then continue chopping.

"So, did you have s*x?"

"What? No!"

"Then how'd you get that?"

"My bruise? Well, let me think... Oh right. Last night, she came returning my jacket and suddenly, I was going out. Then, I pull her to come with me to buy ice cream. Turns out that there's a perverted guy on the groceries, tried to touch her. Luckily, I was there to defend her. Turns out he caught me for a second and takes his chances, punch me right in the face." I explained.
