Need A Stack

Chapter 40: My Baby.

"Every good prayer is always answered"- Charity Peris.

We reached her gate and the lady stopped her car right behind me. My bad I never asked her name. I left the car and found her already out looking around at the environment with some satisfactory written on her face.

"This way." I interrupted and lead the way.

"Sorry I forgot to ask your name." I asked her as we opened the gate.

"Ow I'm Tricia, Amanda's best friend and who are you?"

"Well I'm Gillard," Amanda's..? I ignored that part. I'm yet to know who I am in her eyes and that's why Imma keep it cool till I do.

"Awesome."

We reached her floor and I knocked on the door. She opened so fast than I had expected and the unrestful face came again when she saw me.

I felt so good seeing her again, I couldn't hide the sweet feeling, she then smiled and said hi. It sounded so nice in my ears like damn girl I just wanna kiss you rn!

"What's up queen." I said staring at her full lips like geezz! Why you so fine baby! Her smile grew bigger and she started blushing off, oh my was I seeing it right. I was actually falling in love with her for the fiftieth time for real. I was lost in the moment. So happy to finally see her again.

"Fuck I'm tired enough. Let me in!" Tricia came out from her hiding place and walked past me into the house. Amanda looked surprised to see me with her. I would be surprised too if I could see my homie with my school mate like damn what the fuck y'all doing together? I paused at the door side watching the two friends talk over each other, it was kinda cute. They were so free with each other and that kept me staring and watching them all time.

Tricia left the room to go change of which Amanda didn't really look okay with that decision. Seems she never wanted her around and that was so open. The room stayed silent for some time and Amanda wasn't noticing my presence. I stared at her pretending to be so busy with the show and I couldn't stop smiling. She's so pretty and real, so bold for a woman and that pushed me to her too much.

"Hi."

I said out after finishing with the staring. She looked quite surprised to see me there.

"Hi"

She literally faked a smile, I knew that.

"Are you okay?" I asked when I realized I had nothing more to say. She took so long to answer back. All time she was still staring at me with a look I couldn't understand. What was really going on through that innocent mind? I was getting so nervous.

"I'm okay." Finally.

I took a deep breath and crossed my arms. I didn't want to leave. Neither could I go in I was so afraid of this little girl. Away from that, I still wished I could be that free with her.

"You can get in. Come." Again finally!!

I was really waiting for that. I rubbed my palm against each other and walked to her side. She gave me a space beside her in the couch and this was the most awkward feeling I've ever had. She smelt so nice. I wonder what detergent she used with her clothes. I believed one day we would be smelling the same after doing the washing together for all our clothes and spraying the same perfume. I smiled confidently before getting back to my senses.

The place was so tensed or maybe I was just over-reacting. I have never been this happy in my life. So happy that I get so nervous I mean..! Each time I kept checking on my well shaped nails and passing a quick brush on my hair. It kinda looked like I'm busy. I wanted my hands to be engaged. They were itching all time. I needed to hug her and let her rest on my chest as we watch whatever we were watching. With some popcorn maybe and slight chuckles from her.

I really wanted to look at her and smile. Blink my eye and pass a slight rub on her glossed lips but all time I felt off. Worried of what could happen if I did that. I rubbed my hair roughly and closed my eyes. Damn! What's up with me!!!

"Wooaah look at you both. Why you not talking?"

Someone interrupted. Who thou? Oow shit... Krishna, or what was her name even. Aargh.. whatever.. she just interrupted with my weird moments here but fine!

"Hey, Gilbert,,, or what did you say was your name? Sorry."

The girl was talking to me. I glanced at Amanda who seemed embarrassed. Why would she thou? Her friend was vybe.

"Gillard,, apology accepted." I smiled calmly knowing that I'd even forgotten her name too so no hard feelings anyway.

"Yeah Gillard. Well I thought you said you guys are from the same school when you made me find my way here. Then are you not friends. You ain't talking anything what's up? Or is it your moody being huh?"

I think I wasn't supposed to answer that. Her eyes were now at Amanda. I gathered that Amanda was moody. That sort of seemed cool. I smiled weirdly after getting a sweet chance to look at Amanda keenly now. This was now the moment to get to look at her features closely. This girl was so pretty. Her eyes had a bright glow I'd never seen in anyone's eyes before. Her lips were so pink and soft I'd feel mine get watered. I was getting wet by just looking at her. I could feel the sides of my cheeks hurting and I noticed I was smiling so broadly. Woah I hoped no one had noticed that.

"Amanda?! Is it the moody you?"

I see her shifting uncomfortably after Krishna asks for the second time assuring her that it's her she's been talking to. Amanda doesn't seem okay and complicant with the topic and I get the urge to tell Krishna to stop tommenting my baby. She definitely didn't deserve it. I watch her mood grow bad and I feel so disturbed. I want to see smile always. In her best and chuckling at everything. I want her to get the best of what she deserves. I decide to change the topic.

"A nice place you got. It's so neat and arranged." Isay creeping at her pretending to be looking at her furnished equipment. She calms a lil and smiles with satisfaction. That makes me feel so good. I mean I can change her mood from worst to best just with my first trial. That was interesting.

"Saw a full bucket in the bathroom. When are you planning to wash them?" Tricia interrupts again and at some point this sounds funny. I still was not sure if it will be okay with me laughing out loud so I decided to keep the joke to myself. I see her looking at me and well yes,, happens I completely cannot pretend.

"What?" I hear her ask with a straight face. I'm absolutely going to be thrown out of this house.

"Nothing." I press more on the laugh. I couldn't take it being thrown away of the house when I was having so much fun sitting close to my baby. I turn to Krishna who is now having one hand covering her lips. I knew she was laughing and I couldn't take it anymore. I bursted out and yes I felt a pillow hit me so hard! Uuh!!

"Don't you dare ever laugh for nothing again." That was clear.

"Of course." I said back with my hands raised. Yeah of course I wouldn't ever laugh for nothing ever again. Not if it's because of my baby.

We stayed silent for a while but my mind wasn't silent. Each time I could hear her echo in my ears. Her pillow hitting my face and I hit back playfully as we listen to Stand By Me in some soft speakers in our room and jumping on to each other as we laugh happily. That was the dream I had with her and I knew in one way or another it was to happen. My eyes grew small and spread over in my fantasy.

All these ended when I saw both of them looking at me. Amanda shook her head before saying, " Okay. " I actually didn't catch up with what they were saying but the next question was about which car we were using. Guess there's somewhere we are heading to, both of us.

Well I couldn't resist as long as my baby is with me. I was about to find out where.
