Hard girl [Unfinished Yet]

Chapter 18

It's a beautiful morning not only because it's a sunday but also because I see a genuine smile on my round faced brother. He had taken long without being blissful.

I move towards him. "Tell me, what has made you happy?"

"It's a secret." He ties his shoe laces as I comb my hair waiting for Dad so that we can get going to church.

"Will tell me or no." I roll my eyes.

"No." He shakes.

"You'll by force." I assure him.

Then I get close to him on the seat and start tickling him as he giggles.

He giggles while begging me to stop and assures me that he will soon tell me.

I stop and look into his eyes. Shyness fill his eyes but a little thrill is written all over his face.

"We reconciled. Me and Frankie." He smirks.

I cheer up because my plan did work actually. I'm so proud of myself. I can't believe that my plan succeeded!

"I knew she'd never let go of your relationship. Didn't I tell you that she did it to make you feel jealousy."

"I know. She explained everything to me yesterday. And thank God who gave you the idea of me accompanying you to the party otherwise we would have never gotten back together."

I pull him into a hug and kiss his hair.
Anyone can be sad but not my brother. For the second time I've done something good to someone. The first time was when I allowed Kefa to sleep over. Where has the old me gone! I'm acting strange. This is not me.

I actually hate it. But it feels good helping others.

Dad shows up. "What are the two of you whispering about?"

"Why would you know?" I tease him.

"Because I'm your Dad."

...........................     ....................

Seated in church I notice a head that resembles the one for my enemy, Kefa.
I try to take a clear look but my Dad taps me on the shoulder.

"Hey, listen to the sermon." He tells me.

I nod my head. On listening what the preacher was saying he was totally speaking about me.

"You should stop fighting and believe God regardless of the past." He preaches.

My heart races at that statement the preacher has made.

He adds. "You should love everyone because that's the commandment our lord gave us."

I'm that selfish and do not care about others.

.............................................

At lunch after one hectic lesson, we head to DH. I really missed school. It feels good to be back.

Lissa hands over to me my plate. On it there's a burger and fries with ketchup on them.

"How does it feel to be back to school, fighter?" No one else can ask me such except Kefa. He chuckles.

"Feels bad around you." I roll my eyes.

"Please you better do not engage yourself again in fighting." Lissa sarcastically mutters.

"Yes, because we still need your pretty face." Kefa smirks.

Dan walks over with his plate in his hand and sits besides Lissa. Lissa blushes. I just hate seeing her like this. Can't she behave like me for once. I wonder what she sees in Dan.

My hamburger on it's way to my mouth. A hand snaps it from me.

"Kefa, give me my burger." I yell.

"Why do you eat alone yet you see I'm not eating?" He playfully nags.

"Because I don't care." I huff.

He takes a bite and before he knows I grab it from him.

I laugh at his clumsy hands. Then he reaches out for my plate before I realize, he guzzles down all my fries.

I frown and he instead snickers at me scornfully.

"You'll pay for this." I yelp.

"I'm not scared, stop bluffing me." he smirks.

"By the way why did you get out during the game on the party?"he asks.

My memory rushes to what upset me that I'm not sure of.

"She was may be feeling uncomfortable since it was her first time." Dan speaks and they all burst into a laughter which only annoys me.

I stand up to go for my next lecture.

"Hang on, I owe you a dinner because I ate your food." He winks at me.

I interrupt Lissa who is obliviously on her phone probably tweeting or texting someone. She is one with her phone, no one can separate them.

..............................................

I jump on my motorbike and put on my helmet after all my lectures, obviously heading home.

"Wait, aren't you going with me." Kefa asks scratching his head.

"Why would I go with you?" I retort.

"Remember I owe you dinner besides I'm even hungry." He reminds.

"Go buy yourself enough and kill that hunger as for me I don't want to go with you." I reply.

"Alright if you refuse then we'll go by force because I don't want you to prank me. I know my enemy on food, she can even kill." He chuckles.

He then runs and jumps over it behind me and grips me.

"Didn't you hear what I told you." I yell.

"Didn't you also hear what I told you?" He giggles in my ear.

"If you don't drive now. I'll stay holding you tight." He threatens me.

I start the engine then we set off.

"Take your hands off my body now." I shout.

"No. I actually enjoy gripping this body." He blows my hair and a warm breath of his intacts with my neck skin and I feel a twinge of excitement.

I don't know why but I feel good when he is holding me. My back into his chest.

"By the way, you're quite a good rider." He complements.

"I know." I brag.

"But not better than me. I'm the best in the whole world." He laughs.

"No, I am." I protest.

"No, I am."

We continue like that for the next few minutes till I realize we don't have a destination.

"Hey, which restaurant?"I ask.

"Uhhhm...take me to any of your choice.  But make sure they have nice dishes that I'll enjoy." He cautions me.

"Okay, Mr.Boss."

"Hey enemy, why can't we close our eyes. It feels good in this wind." He whispers.

"Are you a fool, I'm riding." I shout.

"I know."

"What if we get an accident." I speak.

"It's okay, because if we die, Jehovah will create us again." He jokes.

It's actually my first time to hear him speak about God.

He tightens the grip. And a thrill fills me.

"Let me close my eyes. When we reach there tell me so that I get surprised." He mumbles.

I laugh. "unbelievable!"
