Numb.
That's one sweer word to avow how I am feeling right now. My whole body and soul is too numb. Too static. Too maladroit, to comprehend a single thing or scene.
"Aramide...Come on, you have been pacing up and down for the past fifteen minutes without uttering a single word." Kiki mutters as she flails her hands to the air.
We are currently on the hitch-free street of the estate or more like on the pavement. She sat down on the pavement when she got tired of my lack of speech while I have been pacing back and forth - nonstop.
I don't blame her though. I was the one who called her and yet I have not said a single word. I was even surprised when she made it in less than a minute when I called. After seconds of silence, she speaks again.
"Uhuh, the securities." She says in amusement. True enough, I raise my head to see two of the estate securities heading towards our direction. "Aramide I think they're here for you." Without processing it, she gets up and yanks me behind a white Audi BMW that is parked by the side of the pavement. "Crouch behind there and I'll tell you when to come out." Her voice is so calm, like she had everything in control. Whereas my heart is beating frantically.
