The Augury

Part 49

[Thabo house]

He walked into his room carrying a tray,  he looked at the food in his hands and shook his head,  he has not stomached something this greasy in years but because of Portia, he decided to order comfort food to cheer her up a bit.

She found Portia sitting on his bag with her phone in her hands, she looked even tinnier in his big king-size bed, it was something about her small face that looks so adorable cute, her hair all messy and falling on her face gave her a sexy bedroom look.

" I made lunch". He said,
Portia looked at him with a frown
Portia: no offense but your food is too healthy for my liking "
Thabo snotted, she has been grumpy since morning, it was even hard getting a word trough her, Thabo place the trey in front of Portia and kissed her lips

" for you, I went all out...look at this" 
Portia raised her eyebrows when he opens the lead it was a whole variety of junk food, french fries,  pizzas, onion rings, cheeseburgers, wings. ribs and doughnuts

" did you just buy all the special meal in every fast food restaurant in South Africa " she sounded sarcastic and Thabo picked it up, 

" something like that " Thabo said as he took one doughnut and took a bite looking at Portia,  she was acting disinterested, she constantly looked at her watch clearly showing that she does not want to be here, with him anymore

" can you please drive me home " she turned and asked him, Thabo side smile Only to look at her as she avoided eye contact with him 
" finish your food Portia," he said with a bit of a stern voice 

Portia tried to talk but quickly shut her mouth when she notices that his slowly getting irritated, her actions were so High School like, and it was getting to Thabo nerves

" can you please tell me wtf is going on, with you? " he asked looking at her but Portia just frowned and  continued eating her food, her mind was everywhere but in this place with Thabo,

somehow with all the weight lifted off from her shoulders after her meltdown last night she felt vulnerable, she realized she is afraid to love or to be happy, the very same thing that Thabo wanted to offer her.

Her first thought was to walk out of his life, most probably ghost him, Thabo was the only man that was able to strip her naked with her clothes on as much as we think of the word "naked, we think of sex. But this was another naked, Portia was emotionally naked in his eyes,

its how Thabo talked to her that undress her emotionally,  While stripping down clothes was the easiest thing that Portia knew how to do, this was much harder to strip emotions, especially to a man that showed interest in her, no doubt she has major trust issues, pride issues, and the list goes on when looking back at her failed relationship.

In a short time knowing her Thabo took time observing her every behavior, if she thinks that her grumpy, moody attitude will make him lose interest in her she guessed wrong Portia was by far the first genuine woman he has ever been with and that made him fall for her hard.

Thabo: so any plans for today?"
Portia: I plan to sleep and relax I have a lot on my mind"
Thabo: how about we take a shot left, just small road trip ... "
Portia: I can't " 
Thabo: why?"
Portia: I don't feel like company or being with you Thabo, don't you get tired of just talking...." she snapped, 
Thabo: rather I fuck you so you can understand that I want to be with you ...  "

Portia: you can't force me to talk ...or be with you, it has only been a few days with you and I'm already exhausted " 
She shoots back and  jumped  off the bed
Thabo: I'm not forcing you to be with me you did that willingly don't be fooled by my kindness and think it's desperation !"
Portia: I'm sorry...I'm just not in the right state of mind "
