SAVING THE DEVILISHLY HANDSOME DOCTOR

CHAPTER 6

Waiting was the hardest part but that could wait for as of that moment we were dealing with a huge problem-the sun. It was hot, so hot we lay on the floor with no hope of getting up. I lay limp, too hot to even drift off to sleep even though I was tired as hell. The previous night had been crazy, we had ate, gone to watch movies till late then came home to start our own party. It had been epic with little to no sleep after talking our way into a new day. My eyes trailed off to Snowy who was battling a heavy hangover with the sun not helping even in the slightest. You could laugh I swear, we were just hopeless, in nothing but our underwear on the floor. The TV had been switched off, it adding to the heat in the room with the sun streaming through our window, having us sweat like pigs.

“What I would do for a swimming pool right now.” Snowy said out of the blue as I turned my head to stare at her, too tired and hot to answer for water was all I could think about at this point. In my head I could just see myself submerge in those cool water with my body flowing through the force and cooling itself.

“What time is it?” She asked as I sighed because I would have to stretch and grab my phone which was something that needed so much energy and at this point I could barely scratch my nose.

“I don’t know.” I said lazily hoping she would take that.

“Well grab your phone.” She said having me roll my eyes, it was amazing she had all this energy to talk. I lay still with her waiting for a few seconds before nudging my body. Our skin touched and it was hell, she was burning hot and not helping even in the slightest. There was no choice but to move from her having me grab my phone in anguish and press on it. The time was visible enough for her to see it only for Snowy to quickly stand up with all distress gone having me envy her.

“I got to go.” She said opening the door from my extra bedroom turned to a living room. Nothing but hot air rushed into the room as she rushed out. I sighed, watching as she walked to the bathroom. I closed my eyes wondering what I would do for a cold shower at this point, if only I could just stand up. My body was not having it, I could see myself doing the action yet just could not carry it out, I seriously did not know where the disconnect was but there I was still on the floor.

The water from the shower went on, I could hear them spray out and I could just see them and imagine them on my body. I lay there, time moving so slow along with the sun which seemed to take much longer that day. The shower went off with feet soon patting out of the bathroom. There was no sleeping now, I had to help my best friend get ready. This had seriously been the best weekend ever and I would so miss my sidekick. I got up the floor with much difficulty, the couch helping me as I stood straight and walked out to my room.

Snowy was already sweating and you would not say that she had just took a shower. I jumped on the bed watching her wear her clean underwear.

“I seriously do not want to drive at night.” She said as she pulled up her tight jeans.

“Yeah.” I said deciding to finally be useful. I got off the bed and began grabbing her make-up and putting it in her bag. Snowy had a whole section in my wardrobe so that she would not have to carry anything when she came because this was her house too to use and come to whenever just like me in her house.

I took her bag with her car keys and placed it on the bed.

“I will get your dinner.” I said as I walked out of the room with her combing her hair. We had finished the food from the lunch, had ate it all and still had space for pop corn. I shook my head, still feeling the pounds as they add on to this point. It was crazy, we were crazy.

I walked into the kitchen, bottles of cider filling the trash bin with us being the perpetrators. My eyes trailed to the box of pizza on the microwave. I took it with just six slices in. I took them all and put them in a container so that after the long drive she would not have to cook and have something to eat before bed. The container was closed with me walking back to the room with it. The door swung as I stepped in with her ready to hit the road. Snowy was pretty, really beautiful with her golden skin, deep brown waves that just hit her shoulders. She was short yet her body curvy with both brains and beauty, a true full package.

“Ready?” I asked as she nodded her head with her bag in hand. I nod my head with a smile on my face while grabbing a towel and wrapping it around my body. I already missed her as of that moment, she was a star, shinning so bright with there never being a dull moment with her. We walked out to the car which she started and placed her bags in. I went around, opening the passenger door and placing her food. The car was still warming up so we had a minute or so. I sat on the chair, the heat too much outside with the air itself hot. I sat in the seat, sweat on my forehead knowing that a shower was what was next for me.

“I am so exhausted and we are back to school tomorrow, I need a vacation.” Snowy shouted as I laughed.

“We should totally take a vacation on the school break, go to Mozambique for a week or Cape Town.”

“Cape town is so far, we would die along the way.” I laughed at her as I nod my head.

“Yeah, and its bloody expensive there when in Mozambique everything is so cheap.” I pointed out.

“We should totally plan, I am in but we should get someone to go with because you know how paranoid we get especially in places we don’t know.” Snowy said having me laugh out loud. Going to new places was something of difficulty to us yet this year we were trying new things and getting out of our shell.

“I need to go love, I will call you when I get to the house.”

I sighed, stepping out of the car.

“Okay, I will be waiting for that call. I love you.” I said already wishing she could stay longer.

“Love you more.” She said back as I stepped away with her pulling the car back. I stood, watching as she reversed and turned only to stop and honk. I waved my hand at her before the car took off running. I watched until the dust settled before going back to the house. It was six in the evening and the sun was about to kick the bucket. I walked back, making it straight into the shower where I just stood with the water falling on me. In my head I was in a music video having me stand so sexily under the shower head, moving so slowly with the water cascading. In my head this was totally sexy and I could just hear the song in my head having me sway my hips now and again. I laughed at myself, sighing yet suddenly I imagined John walking in the shower and wrapping his arms around my body. I shook my head, imagining him place his head over my shoulder as mine hung back on his with the water falling on us. It would be so intimate, something I had never had before and probably would not with such luck with men. I shook my head, thinking of sitting on the floor but who knows how many people had used this shower before we moved in.

The sun had gone down by the time I got out sure to have raised the bill and filled the sewers but a girl had to spoil herself now and again. The air had cooled with it brushing on my cool skin. I walked to my bedroom with the curtains opened wide open. The air just had its way in with it feeling like heaven. I did not do anything but collapse on the bed naked. It was pure bliss, the wind strong enough, sending the curtains floating with the lights off and nothing but darkness surrounding me. The house was quite, Setsabile gone probably coming back soon since we had school the following day. My mind drifted off to the lesson plans I had not even began writing yet too lazy to write them, ready to face the consequences or so I thought.

My phone vibrated, lighting up the whole room with the loud sound disturbing my peace. I groaned, knowing that there was no way Snowy had made it to her house that fast which left my parents which were not fans of calling or anything technology. My parents preferred just showing up unannounced which was fine for me since my social life was a zero so I was always here and alone. I rolled my eyes, laughing to myself as I scrambled for my phone and swiped to answer it since the light was blinding my eyes.

“Hello.”

“Hi Mbali.”

I froze where I was, letting the shiver to run down my body leaving it cold and covered in goose bumps. His voice was deep and very manly having me still dazed with the accent not helping. I opened my mouth only to close it, shocked and star struck at the same time sure I would be drowning in shame later and let us not start on how he pronounced my name. It was so wrong yet he could wrong me in every way possible and I would still be taken.

“Hello?” He came again having me snap out of it yet now I was freaking out because I did not know what to say or did not know how I sounded. Was my voice good enough, did I not sound like a teenager and lord what was I going to say, he was bloody calling me!!

“Hi,” I said back having him clear his throat on the other end of the line and even that sounded like heaven to me. I rolled my eyes, getting on my feet with my other hand on my chest. I wanted to scream and shout, so nervous I was shaking. I felt like a school girl yet never had being a school girl felt so good. My heart drummed, this feeling like a start of something explosive, well, for me anyway.

“I hope you are doing well?” He asked as I melted into a puddle.

“I am fine, just had a very hot day but just took a shower and …..cooling down now.” I rolled my eyes, wishing I could just smash myself in a wall. I was totally oversharing yet I did not want the conversation to end.

“How were you holding up under the heat?” I quickly added with me jumping all over my room and holding in a nervous laugh.

“Good, I was working and apparently the air condition does not work in this whole hospital.”

“Oohh, I am so sorry, is your shift over?” I asked, just shocked that he was working on a Sunday and just imagining the day he had.

He sighed and I could just see him in those scrubs with his head in his hand with the other holding his phone.

“No, taking a five minute break. I thought it would be rude to just take your number and not call.” He said having me swoon and lay on my bed with dreamy eyes, he was just too perfect.

“Oohh, yeah, its okay.” I said not sure what else to say and just second guessing every word that slipped from my mouth.

“I actually wanted to ask if you would be able to attend a work function with me. I am still new here with just a month in the country so I don’t know what to do. I could ask a colleague but I don’t want them getting ideas.” He said having me quickly cover my mouth before I could scream out. I rolled on bed, suddenly laying on my belly with my legs swinging. How could life be more perfect than this? I took a deep breath, collecting myself and wanting to sound professional.

“When is this function?” I actually really did not care because even if he said it was in an hour I would have jumped in.

“Next Saturday. I don’t really know the place but its far and the king will be there.” His voice came and I froze. I blinked and blinked not believing this. I was going to an event where the king of the country would be there, I would see him, would lay my eyes on him. I did not know what to say, did not know how to react for I would be dining with royalty, pure royalty. I swallowed, shocked, excited and everything else at the same time.

“Yeah, I would love to accompany you.” I said when all I wanted to do was scream.

“Thank you, we will talk about the arrangements.”

“Okay.” I said back into the phone, my hand clenching it so hard as I rolled over the bed to stare at the white ceiling.

“Have a good night.” He said, the words so simple yet doing something to me that would have me have great nights for a year. I could just imagine him, could just see his body.

“You too.” I said back wanting to say more yet held myself, biting my lower lip as the line cut yet I still I clung to the phone still not sure what just happened.
