my roommate and I

CHAPTER SIX

I woke up with sharp pain, my head was bagging so hard, I felt my head was about to pull off from the position, this was as a result of too much alcohol and the excess tears I cried because of Brandon. I sat down in the bed while holding my head with my hand

       “ Are you okay Brian? “ Jane asked as she rushed over to the other side of the bed where I was sitting down

        “ Yeah I am, just that I woke up with a headache and my head is about to fall off “ I replied her

        “ Okay, hold on I think I have some pain reliever in my bag. Let me look for it “ she said while walking towards the direction of her bag which she kept on the table. She searched her bag for the pain reliever and finally saw while David was still fast asleep beside me. Though last night was rough and bad for me, I was glad that I have friends who care for me and who will support and always be here for me, that I am grateful for. Jane approaches me with the drugs and a glass of water in her hands, she placed the both of them on my hands while I swallowed the drugs and drank the water to help the drugs go down my throat into my system, Jane stood by my side and watched me as I took the drugs 

            “ Thank you, Jane, I am grateful “ I thanked her because without her I don’t think I would have survived this

           “ Don’t mention, so what are we going to do today?. Should we tour round or go back to the dorm now?. “ Jane Asked me

           “ Let’s just go back to the dorm, you know I need to arrange some of my clotheslines and then my books since I  am moving in with you, so I need to get prepared” I replied to her question

          “ oh that’s true, then I guess I better wake that dumb i***t up so we can start moving, “ she said while pointing at the sleeping David 

         “ Yeah go ahead, I will go take my bath now”

           “ Okay dear”  she walked over to the other side of the bed to wake David up 

            “ Get up you moron and get dressed, we have to go back to the dorm”

              “ Give me five more minutes “ murmured David as he turned over to the other side

              “ No dark minute am I going To give you Dave, “ she said as she kicked David on his stomach

               “ ouch that hurts” screamed David while holding his stomach 

     I didn’t know when I laughed out loud while watching  David and Jane arguing, they argue all the time and it’s so funny, you can easily mistake them for a couple. I just they start dating it will be good for them and me because I will still have them beside me as my friends instead of them introducing new people to the group and I will hardly have time to see them because they will be busy with their love lives. I know I am been greedy but I have to be greedy this time around because they are the only ones I can depend on. I realised the both of them stopped arguing and they were looking at me, David was very happy  that he can see me smile after everything I have been through

             “ Man am sure glad to see you smile,” David said while smiling at me

             “ Same here, same here” Jane nodded her head in agreement to what David said 

             “ Guys stop it, I always do smile and you both know it. I am off to take my bath. We should be leaving anytime soon” I said as I hurried to the bathroom before they got to see my cheeks turn pink.

     I quickly took my bath and wore the same clothes from yesterday because I wasn’t having extra clothes with me as I walked into the room

              “ David go take your bath now, I am done”

              “ Okay” David replied me as he walked into the bathroom leaving me and Jane alone in the room

               “ Here is your phone, and do something about your hair,” Jane said as she handed my phone over to me

   I fumbled with my hair before looking at her “ why, what happened to it, it looks okay to me” I replied her still touching my hair 

              “ Nothing, it’s just that it has grown out too much, it’s way too long now. Can I help you trim it a little? I got a pair of scissors” she asked 

              “ Okay sure, but it will grow back in the space of three weeks” I informed her

              “ Then I will cut it again”  she held my hand  and pulled me to chair in the room

              “ Here sit down”. I sat down and Jane with the pair of scissors in her hand decided to do exactly what she said, trimming my hair. I got tired of trimming my hair because it always grows back and if I was to cut everything off my mind parents will Nag me to death because they love my long hair and mum usually call me her princess because of the hair

               “ Done,” Jane said drawing my attention while handling me a little mirror 

               “ Wow!!! It looks so good, you are very good at this, who taught you?” I asked her

              “ My dad, when we were little, he usually cuts my brother’s hair. He prefers doing it himself than taking him to the barbershop, so I always sat in front of him and that’s how I learnt it and besides I used my dad’s hair to practice all the time. He doesn’t say no to me. Hahaha” she laughed

            “ Wow!! Will you open your own barbershop right?” I teased her

           “ Hell no, I do this for free and for fun. So stop teasing me” she said while cleaning the scissor with a handkerchief 

           “ I see” turning my head in the direction of the bathroom I yelled out for David “David come our quick and come see my hair. You are spending way too much time in there

          “ I am done, I just wanna wear my clothes” he yelled back at me

          “ I called a cab while you guys were sleeping, I told him 1 pm but I can call him and tell him to come at 11 am”

          “ Nah it’s okay Jane, 1 pm is okay”

        “ So what are we going to be doing here till 1 pm, it’s just 8 am?” Asked Jane

        “ We can go watch a movie since it’s Sunday, your hair looks good on you, nice one Jane “ David answered before closing the bathroom door. I didn’t know when I smiled, I have wanted to go to a cinema house without my mum or dad as an escort. I wanted to go with friends but we haven’t had the d chance and time to go but now the opportunity is knocking on my door and no way will I miss it for anything

         “ Yeah let’s go, it’s going to be fun”

         “ Yeah, I want to watch the avengers and the latest Spider-Man new movie, the homecoming. So let’s hurry and go so we won’t miss it” Jane said

         “ It’s like you are reading my mind, I wanted to watch both of them too. Besides, why don’t you call the driver to meet us at the cinema house by 2 pm instead of him coming to the hotel? I don’t want to come back here it would be stressful on us” I suggested 

        “ Okay, I will do just that now,” she said while bringing out her phone from her back bag, then dialling the number, then place the phone on her ears and walked away from us while using her other to urge us to follow her which we did. Getting to the cinema house we both 6tickets, 3 for avengers and 3 for the new Spider-Man movie, we also bought some porn corns and drinks, then we went into the cinema room to begin our fun morning. It was fun watching movies with friends and people because everyone has to express their true feelings and emotions.

            When it was 2 pm the cabman called Jane that he was waiting for us outside and we hurried out to meet him, we entered into the taxi and headed back to the dorm. When we got to our dorm David and I waved Jane goodbye telling her we would meet later in her room. When David and I entered the dorm we parted ways to our various rooms, stepping into the room where Brandon and I shared the room was empty as Brandon was nowhere to be seen and I was so happy because I wasn’t in the right phase of my mind to speak with him after everything that happened last night. I quickly brought down my little luggage and started packing some shirts, shorts, trousers, boxers and shoes. Then packing my notebooks and some important textbooks in my backpack. I planned on staying over at Jane’s side for a month, then next month is our first-semester examination so I will be pretty busy with the library, school and reading and I won’t have time to stay in the same room with him for long, it will just be for sleeping and bathing. Perfect I love my plan, I clapped in excitement as I zipped my luggage and was about heading out when someone came in. I stood there staring at the person with no words to say.
