Thelma POV.
The memory of all that stuff discussion that was kitchen comes back to me. I wondered how long this was going to last . It is like is forever.
“ Come on , Thelma. We have to go. ” My mother called
. Am trying to get something simple to put on and go to the brithday .
“ Am coming mom" I inform
We all get into the car to head for shopping. Since it urgent, we don't take a lot of time at the store . In Fact we spend about only two hours before getting back and have the party started..
LATER THAT EVENING.
I stare at myself in the mirror, second thoughts flashing into my mind- maybe I do a change of dress. This is not my style at all. But will my best friend even think about sparing me once I get rid of the dress.
I have been looking at myself in the mirror for about thirty minutes .Everyone else is getting prepared for the birthday which is hardly two hours away .
The three chose this dress for me . Of Course claiming I can't pick a decent dress for a birthday myself. I won't blame them, that is me. This is simply not the kind of life for me. I am one person who likes staying home the moment I get back from college. I don't need these parties at all. They seem not to be part of my life.
The dress is shiny blue. It is skinny and goes upto the legs. It portrays my figure perfectly well. My rare hips which I hardly show off are equally on display this time round. There is a slit that comes up to my left hip heading for the waist. Damn it, it surely going to be a long night for me.
My hair has been made and it's curls . This makes It fall perfectly behind. I use a little makeup from the whole make-up kit that Recho offered. The three of them come to the conclusion that if I keep myself shining,then I will easily get a boyfriend- how I wish they knew everything.
“ Darling, please come and we get going. ” My mom calls from downstairs . With her calling, I get my new wallet and then match out of my bedroom .
When I get down to the living room, mom is standing there looking extremely stunning as usual. However she has her eyes all drawn on me..Her small smile suddenly gets even wider.
“ Wow! You are so smart my baby ” she compliments looking all over me more keenly.
“ Am sure almost every guy's eyes will be aimed at you . ” She adds .
“But you look extremely good yourself.” I say hoping she can soon change the topic since I don't not wanting where this is heading with her talk.
“ Okay , but my daughter won't forget what we just talked about . You have to get used to all these parties that way you will be able to get a boyfriend e-”
“ Enough ,mom. We are really late for the party . Everyone must be waiting for us eagerly. ” I said hurriedly heading for the door. Am sure mom gets it that I don't want where this conversation is leading at all.
By now, mom already knows that I am too shy to talk about relationships with her but she will always talk to me about it no matter what.
We get out of the house and lock it heading to the opposite street where Recho's house is . I think you are already familiar with that . Their house is just about one minute away.
The nearer we get, my heart thunders even more at the anticipation of seeing Rich again. I don't now know how to look in his eyes after that erotic moment from last night . As I told you, I tried to see that I can get away from him but basically I had no chance at all.
We soon got to the door. There are only a few guests. Recharah decided that it was just a little private celebration for her ‘ dear son'
“ Oh, ladies, you are here. ” This time it is Richard who welcomes us. Richard is actually the father of Recho and Richmond. He was busy but chose to keep some time for his son's birthday.
For sure I love the strong bond that exists within this family . Sometimes I really envy them and also wish I had a father. Any way, that story is for another day . I want to try and see that I enjoy this birthday no matter what.
“Ofcourse ” Mom says excitedly .
**
After the meeting with Richard at the door, I look everywhere for my best friend but she is nowhere to be seen . There is no way am remaining at this party all by myself . I have only one thing to do and this is to look in for her.
I get to the stairs to head down since here we are at the rooftop. As I move, I can feel like somebody watching me but all I do is just ignore that and move towards Recho's bedroom .
There is no one in the hallway . The moment I get to her bedroom , I don't even know but rather just gets in
“ Damn it !” I curse out at the sight before me . This can't be. As the rest are at the party, my friend has a guy eating her out .
Both of them pull away quickly surprised to see me here. I have seen that guy before. He is from our college though I have never talked to him. For sure I don't even know how the two came to know each other.
The guy out of shame storms out of the bedroom without saying a single word. His gesture makes me chuckle out.
“ I can't believe you are here having someone eating you and yet the rest are at your brother's wedding.”
“ What do you think? It is just part of the celebration” . Recho says sarcastically . How ridiculous she is !
“ But get done so that we can head upstairs” I say to her.
“ As you wish , Ma'am ” She says sarcastically moving from the bed disappearing into the bathroom.
About five minutes later, she comes to get ready so that we can head for the party. I sometimes wonder why I am don't have the personality of my best friend. I mean she can get a random man any time that she wisheas like.
Thanks for reading. More chapters are on the way. Just get into the long ride and we drive a long.
