Their Dream Girl

12 Meeting the other twin

Luna

My phone is ringing. I hear it like an irritating fly buzzing in my ear and not going away no matter how much I ignore it.

I groan as I turn over bent on ignoring my phone. And then a memory of last night flashes like a neon light in my mind.

“I need your phone number.” Tlou pulls out his cellphone and waits for me to give him my number. I rattle the number out, while he punches it into his phone. “I’ll call you tomorrow.”

Did he say morning? Who cares?

I dive for my phone hoping he doesn’t end the call. I answer it without looking at the screen and flinch when Blu’s voice screeches through the speakers.

“Stop that I still need my ears,” I say feeling grumpy. I was hoping it was Tlou calling me.

“You sound grumpy, that can only mean one thing. Are you home?” She asks cautiously. I wonder what she thinks happened.

“Yes, why?” I ask settling back down on my pillow. Maybe I can still catch some more sleep, you know give myself a lazy day. I let my phone rest on my ear and rub my eyes.

“I’m coming over. I want to hear everything that happened with you and the Mogale Twin.”

“Really? That’s what got you out of your bed so early my love life?”

“Yes!” Blu screeches again. I pick up the phone off my ear and stare at it. “I couldn’t sleep last night. I kept thinking about you and him, and you know…”

“That’s disgusting.”

“You’re such an innocent. I hanging up now, I’ll be there in a few. Get up and boil some water for tea. I’m bringing croissants. And you can thank me when I arrive.” Blu said hanging up the phone. I stare at it wishing I hadn’t given in and answered. But she would have kept calling.

Of all the days I didn’t need Blu to be Blu is this one. I don’t know I feel weird and bit disappointed that I didn’t get the deed done last night. I was so looking forward to having s*x that…I don’t know. I thought I would be excited today because Tlou wants to see me again, but I am not. What if that was his way of letting me down gently. I mean how many guys have taken my number and never called? Many. How many guys have DM me and I have liked their pictures and posts on f*******:, but they never took it further than that? Many. Many, many guys that never taken the second step in being in a relationship with me.

But you kissed this one. Fire blazes my body at that the memory of that kiss. Well, yeah I guess that’s why I’m so sad, because that kiss had felt so damn good I want more of that.

I touch my lips, yearning for him now – the touch of his lips, the flick of his tongue as it dove into my mouth. My moan echoes around the empty room as my n****e harden and my clit throbs in my sleeping shots.

Fuck. He better call me, because I’m so hot for him.

I bite my lip wondering if I can masturbate before Blu arrives.

Nope. Her knock reverberates through the whole house stopping me in my tracks. I jump out of bed and rush into the kitchen where I pour water into the kettle and put it on the stove. I go to the door and open for her.

“Morning,” Blu says as she waltzes into my flat, a box of croissants from our favourite café in her right hand. “I’m making tea.”

I follow her into the kitchen and sit on stool and brace my arms on the island. The aroma from the box calls to me. My stomach literally growls as I fish one croissant and take a bite.

“Thank you,” I say around a mouth full.

She turns to me with a knowing smile. “So…spill.”

“Are you going to spill too?” I ask her mirroring her smile. She blinks at me as if she doesn’t know what I’m talking about. “Vic, you went home with him.”

“Oh, that…its nothing.”

“Hmmm.”

“Tea?” she turns away from me to the cupboards to pull out teacups. “So what happened with you and Tlou?”

“Nothing happened. We kissed though.”

“That’s it.”

“Babe, I tried save for blurting it out. I really tried. He took my number and said he’ll call me today.” I say with a shrug. The whole thing sounded like a gentle let down to even my own ears.

Dammit!

“He did?” Blu asks staring at me awkwardly.

“What? Was I not supposed to give him my number?” I ask. Blu doesn’t answer. She just stares at me as if the answer is obvious. of course. “He’s not going to call me. I knew it.”

“I didn’t say that.”

“You should see your face.” I tell her. She turns away from me to pour us some tea. We drink it eating the croissants in silence.

“What are your plans today?” Blu asks.

“I was thinking of having a lazy day. And then tomorrow I’ll go through my research in preparation for Monday.” I say pushing away the disappointment I feel about the whole Tlou situation. Maybe it was for the best. Plus, Carol dated his twin brother. Things would have been awkward. And knowing Carol she would think my meeting Tlou and dating him is a dig at her.

After we finish our breakfast, Blu hangs out with me for a few hours and then leaves because she has to meet Vic. I know something is going on there even though she doesn’t want to tell me. I spend a lazy Saturday and an even lazier Sunday because I cannot bring myself to work, Tlou never bothered to call me. I add him to the long list of guys who never called and then move on.

On Monday I go to work at the University. I visit the library once I’m finished with my lectures. I really need to get this paper in. My damn laptop is burning a hole in my sling bag reminding me of the work I didn’t get through on Sunday all because I guy I didn’t know didn’t call me. I close my eyes for a second feeling stupid for pining over this guy. And that’s when I bump into him.

I open my eyes and then gasp as the man I bumped into comes into focus.
