"I need medicines, mom"
She looked at me and smiled, "Is that a joke?"
'No"
She was driving me to college since the buses were on strike and was as usual listening to boring news on the radio.
And since my head was on a loophole with the amount of orgasms I was having, I kept asking my mom for medicines.
"Mom"
"What?", she wore a yellow churidar today and it looked amazing on her.
"Were the doors locked yesterday?"
She hummed, 'they always are. why?"
I shrugged that off.
"What about the main attic door?"
She laughed bitterly, "The door is weird. You know...I can't lock that"
"You should lock that, mom"
"Why? Any burglars?", she asked it so softly like the car contained them.
"No...but still"
I held my legs together hoping she wouldn't read anything else.
"Mm okay. I will try today"
I didn't know what was going on at all.
Class was fun. It kept me off all these dumb thoughts. Kevin, Lion, and Jessie were over today and they were making plans about the prom next month.
"The notices are ready. We should just jam guys!"
"Who will go to prom with me?", Lion asked and looked at Jessie who went "Ew" and shoved his hand off, "Not me, fatso"
Kevin's eyes came to me in a glitter making me want to puke.
No way.
I turned around and ran my eyes over the class.
There was Fanny the front bench who would pick a nerd. Liam was hot but he had a girlfriend. Ah, there is Hans. His eyes laid on me for a while and staggered when I met his gaze.
Just then Kevin's fingers took mine,
"You okay today?"
I nodded, "Mom gave me medicines. I'm fine"
He was still holding onto my hand but I said nothing.
We were friends, at least.
"Maybe you should go to prom with me"
My head must have mistaken it because he said it so cunningly and keenly that it almost slipped my ear.
"Wha-"
"Look Lilith, I know things are astray between us but I feel at least prom with me would be nice."
"Also I want to go with you"
He smiled at me and I didn't.
"Or my choice? Does my choice ever matter?"
He looked at me wide-eyed,
"Yes...yes...ofcourse"
I wanted to tell it out loud but just then the bell rang and Mrs Cupcake walked in.
She is called so because she stuffs her mouth with a lot of cupcakes.
"Umm..good afternoon class. take out your chemistry-"
Kevin gave me a headup for the bathroom and then walked outside, for a pee.
I so didn't wanna go but somewhere inside I felt it was essential to go.
Definitely not because of the guy that walks in at night.
"What is it Kevin?"
"Dude...I feel you don't understand. I still want to go to prom with you. I still want us to be like old times and I still like you and still want-"
"Stop"
He looked at me and shook his head,
'Everybody makes mistakes"
"I know...but I don't feel that way"
I said it out loud. What my mother felt in a marriage.
What she so deservingly after ten years of having me, openly confessed.
I had to say it.
"I don't love you, Kevin"
"It was ...it was never there"
I said it.
My eyes went up to him and tears were filling in his eyes,
"Honestly, its not even about the kiss. I have been feeling distant, and hopeless and unhappy. Its not about you. Definitely not. I feel that for myself"
"So who can change it?", he asked, his voice breaking.
I shrugged, "Maybe me. But not with you"
Kevin came forward closing the distance between us,
"I love you"
"I do"
He grabbed my hands and intertwined our fingers together,
"I cannot live without you, that is why I decided to be friends as well. I felt you would come back to me after everything was sorted out but then you just acted like nothing happened, and i felt I should do that as well. I knew if my instincts pushed you, then you would change your mind but I wanted you to have that space, but then-"
"Kevin I"
Before I could say a word, he pushed his lips into mine.
My lips stay intact, untouched, and not moving.
He started squirming his lips into mine again and again.
I started to suffocate, "KEVIN...UGH"
All I recalled was a yellow light and a burst of flames.
A lightning flash occurred and he was before me.
My red man.
My cat.
He pounced upon Kevin and grabbed his neck, dashing his entire body into the bathroom wall.
"You trash, don't you dare touch her again"
I couldn't even believe my ears or eyes. He was here.
In my college?
I looked around desperately, and shut the bathroom main door so nobody could come in.
Kevin was turning purple by now.
"Leave him! He could die!"
"Apologise, you asshole"
"Leave him! Leave him!"
I held the little devil back by his arms. Those biceps strained under the pressure of holding Kevin, so much that it felt like it would pop out of its skin.
"Look...my devil"
His eyes darted to me.
"Leave him. I will tell him ok?"
He stared at me, his forehead creased and nodded,
"Kevin"
Kevin started to choke and cough once his throat was free.
"Look Kevin, stay away from me. I cannot continue after you did this."
He kept choking until his eyes lay on me and then to ....him.
"So this is...this is him"
I couldn't say anything.
"This is...Mr. Orgasm"
I had to laugh. That was a great way of addressing him.
"Keep your hands off her", he said, gritting.
Something fluttered in my stomach.
"Let's go, little mouse"
He grabbed my hands and stormed out of the bathroom.
Before I realised, I knew he would go.
And he left.
