Experiment

Chapter seventeen

I know this voice. I know it very well. I pull away from the kiss and I see Neo standing above us. "Bro, what the fuck?" he says and pushes Ora. I didn't know what was going on. I was so confused and uncomfortable. Ora climbs off of me and we stand up.

"Neo, what's your problem?" I hear myself ask. "Ora knows exactly what my problem is," he says grinning at me. "Oratile, what's going on?" I ask with a huge lump in my throat. "We bet on you. We bet on who can get you after your whole bullshit with Jabu," Neo tells me. Ouch. Why does it seem like no one actually wants me? "Ora said that he wanted nothing to do with the bet. But here he is. On the verge of fucking you. Maybe you are a whore. I also wanna dip in there," he smirks.

Ora's fist collided with Neo's jaw and I hear a cracking sound. Wha- did Ora jus- I'm speechless. "You're gonna regret that," Neo says before rolling up his sleeves and punching Ora. They go on like this for some time and I scream. Jabu runs in and I'm on the verge of crying. He tries to get in between them and I also try helping him. Jabu holds Neo and I hold Ora. His breathing was uneven and he looked beyond angry. I grabbed his toiletry bag, 4 random hoodies and 2 jeans, one being blue and the other being black. I grab his hand and stormed him to my dorm.

"Are you okay?" I ask him as he sits on my bed. "I don't know," he replies facing down. I kneel in front of him in between his legs and look up to him. "Talk to me," I plead. He inhales and lets out a sigh. "I should've told you," he said. "I won't let you blame yourself," I say. "Maya, listen.... we were in the cafe when we all received the video of Jabu calling you a whore. Neo said that who ever gets you first will get R100 from each of us. I don't do such. I can't hurt a girl like that. So I told them that I wanted nothing to do with their little 'bet'. Lethu and Puse called me a pussy and I honestly didn't mind. So now it actually seems like I wanted in on this whole thing because we have something going on," he says.

Water hits my face and I realize that he's crying. It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I move to sit next to him and pull him closer to me. He sobs into me and I feel myself cry. "I'm sorry if you feel like I used you. I didn't mean to hurt you," he cried. "Maya, it was never just sex to me," he says. He looks up to me with watery red eyes.

I kiss him tasting our tears. This kiss was so different. I felt so connected to this boy. I pushed him against the bed and climbed on top of him. I pull away and hug him. "It was never just sex to me either," I say without thinking. Well, I meant it. I really meant it. After 10 or so minutes, he says, "you took so many clothes for me." "I'm sorry. But we're going to the party and we need clothes for that as well," I reply.

The time read 18:30. Why was it so late already. "I haven't eaten all day, I'm hungry," I say. "Let's get something to eat," he tells me. He gets dressed and we head to the cafe. I find a booth for us and he gets us food. He got us rib burgers and fries with Fanta Orange. Where has Ora been my whole life? I take a bite in the burger and I couldn't help myself but moan. His eyes shoot up to me and I laugh. "Do that again and I'm gonna fuck you on the spot," he said smirking. That made my vagina tingle.

After our first meal of the day, we head to my dorm and get dressed. He wore a white hoodie with blue skinny jeans and I wore the same hoodie as him and a short blue skirt. Again, me and Ora looked cute. I still don't understand why he has two sets of each hoodie. "Babe, I prefer buying my own booze. Mind if we go to Tops?" he asks. Babe? He called.... he called me babe? "Can I drive?" I ask looking at him. "Fine," he sighs and rolls his eyes.

I plug the aux into my phone and he looks at me all nasty like. "Is there a problem, sir?" I ask laughing. "Just drive," he says. "Wait!!! I wanna play Summer Walker," I reply. The dive to the liquor store wasn't that long. Ora bought a 24 pack of Belgravia Gin and Dry Lemon. "You don't drink?" he asked me. "I only drank at that first party I went to. Before that, no," I reply. He takes a small Gordon's Gin and a 12 pack of brutal fruit.  I didn't allow him to pay alone, because I was also gonna drink. So I payed half of the total price. My mother sends me R3000 every month and I barely use it.

Ora was really fun to be around. He always found a way to make me laugh and he trusted me so much. I hope he catches me because I'm falling and I'm falling fast.
