A Drop In The Ocean

Part 7

Kamsi was lying on the bed as she admires Nonso's dress in the room, the gown hugs her body so tight that it brings out her perfect shape, she must have got those from her mum. The colour was so pinkish and charming, there was no doubt that she loves short clothes so she doesn't seem so surprised on how it stops way too up above her knees, the only long cloth she wears were trousers and nothing more, even her school uniform is not exempted and she always gets in to trouble with the teachers and principal of their school because of that. She was supposed to be at school today being Friday but told her that her mother allowed her to stay with her again after promising to go on Monday. She powdered her face and applied a lipstick.

"Are you sure you don't want to come with us?", she asked smacking her lips and viewing herself in the mirror.

"No, maybe next time"

"I have already told him that you would come with us", she pleaded as she fix a long eyelash which makes her look even more like a doll. Nonso is a very pretty girl with a nice figure. She already looks beautiful even without applying any makeup.

"You should have informed me first before doing that", she said sounding disappointed.

"I'm sorry for that, I thought you would love to come", she apologized.

"Alright!", she accepted, "where exactly are you two going and what will I wear, I was thrown out with nothing remember!"

"That's never a problem, we are almost the same size so will surely see one that will fit among my dress and as for where we are going, he said it's a surprise", she said and went to the wardrobe and brought out some of her dress that she thinks will suit her. They heard a knock on the door, "it must surely be him", she said as she hastily wore her shoes. "make your choice", she gestured at the clothes she kept beside her on the bed, "we will be waiting for you in the living room", she said and left. Kamsi got up from the bed and took a glance at each of the dress and decided to go for the blue one. She wore it and looked herself up in the mirror, she has never worn this kind of dress in her life, she imagined what their mother would say if she were to be here, she wouldn't allow her out dressing this way and she wouldn't fail to tattle on her to their father and then he would beat her to stupor. She is having a double mind about the dress, she can't see herself wear a thing as short as this within the house not to mention outside. She heads back to the bed and recheck those clothes, they were still as short as the one she's putting on except one which was a trouser, she hasn't worn a trouser before in her life either, 'why did i even accept to go out with them', she thought, this is her first outing, she has never gone out with anyone before, she only goes to school, church and sometimes street vendors to purchase foodstuffs or other things whenever their mother couldn't make it to the market. She then went for the blue jeans with the orange blouse, it revealed her curves but at least it covers her body. she applied a nude makeup, she loves making up but not as much as her friend. She slipped in to the foot wear she also brought out for her, it's barely her size but manageable. She went to meet them in the living room and almost ran back when she saw Nonso comfortably sitting on his laps as they kiss, she couldn't believe her eyes, she doesn't feel comfortable seeing such, their parents don't allow them to watch movies because of that, they felt they are not yet matured to view such and that it will corrupt them, whenever a romance is displayed on the television their mother would always shout on top of her voice, "who has the remote? Will you change the channel or off that television entirely", and then the person holding it would instantaneously change it, but that won't stop their mother from cursing them, "good-for-nothing people, take a look at the trash they are acting", she would say gesturing at the television, "that is how they go about desecrating people's children". Now Kamsi has seen what she has been restricted from watching on the screen happening live some distance away from her. She was about heading back to the room after she got control of herself but was stopped by her friend, "where do you think you are rushing to! Come back here!", she laughed. Kamsi stopped and came a bit further towards them, "I just came to tell you that I'm ready"
