ATTRACTION - CHAPTER 11&12
★★★★
{THE PARTY}
As soon as Anthony stopped the car in the school parking lot, Damina got out of it not wanting to be close to him and mostly afraid that he would hear the skipping beat of her heart.
She hurried to class avoiding the students who kept clamouring around his car just to get to see him.
Her face down bent, she was still hurrying to class when she collide into some one.
“Damina” Julia called in excitement.
“Hello Julia” Damina replied as they made their way to class together.
“Damina” Julia called suddenly which brought her out of her reverie.
“What did you say?” Damina ask.
“You haven’t been listening….tell me what is going on?” Julia demanded.
Damina knew she had to talk to some one about it and Julia might be the best option.
“If someone tells you not to speak to other guys except him, what do you think it means” Damina ask her.
“And how was he like when he was saying it?” Julia ask.
“Furious and serious about it”
“Then it’s simple, he likes you” Julia replied.
“But that’s impossible, the guy am talking about already has a girlfriend and…..”
“It doesn’t matter he was jealous seeing you with some one else and that was what got him saying that, how do you feel?” Julia ask her.
“Well giddy and excited at always having him close to me….what does that mean?” Damina ask obviously a newbie in the world of love.
“You are also in love with him” Julia replied hotly.
Damina couldn’t give a reply because Jane chose that moment to approach them.
“Hello Damina, hello Julia” she said waving at the both of them.
They both replied with a force smile on her face, Damina feeling guilty about being in love with Jane boyfriend and Julia detesting Jane mainly for her character.
“It’s our first intro after seeing each other yesterday” Jane continue.
“Here” Jane said handing her a party invite.
“An invite?”
“Yes, am throwing a party this weekend, I hope you can make it” Jane said.
“Well I…..”
“Common, I would like to get to know more about you,so please come and besides Anthony and Mary will be there too” Jane said.
“Err…I will think about it” Damina said not wanting to commit her self to the party.
With a wave Jane left them alone and Julia snorted after her.
“What do you think? Should I go?” She asked.
“Well I think…..” Julia didn’t get to finish her words because Stephen chose that moment to walk into their class while some girls followed him.
He stood looking around until his eyes rest on her and immediately he made his way to where she was sitting.
“Am lucky I got the right class cause no matter how I ask Anthony, he wouldn’t tell me where your class is” he said.
“What are you doing here?” Damina ask knowing they were the centre of attraction.
Instead of replying like he’s meant to, he took the invite Jane had given her to look at it.
“Tell me you are coming” He ask eagerly.
“Uh am still not sure” Damina replied.
“Do come cause am also invited, let me be your escort” He offered.
“Well I ……”
“Just say yes already, say yes” he urge interrupting her.
*****
Anthony stayed in the empty class they use while Jane sat on his laps trying her best to arouse him but it isn’t working.
“What’s wrong babe” Jane said when she failed on getting him arouse.
“Am just not in the mood ” he replied carrying her off his laps so he could stand up.
“You also said the same thing last night, what’s wrong?” Jane ask again.
The thing wrong is that I want someone else, I need her badly that I can’t seem to need you even though you are offering on a platter of gold. He thought starring at Jane who was still waiting for a reply.
“Am just not in the mood” Anthony replied.
“So when exactly will you be in the mood?” Jane ask.
“Let’s not talk about that now, am hungry let’s go eat” he said to Jane who reluctantly followed him.
On getting to the cafeteria, Anthony stop when he saw Stephen and Damina walking out of it together.
“Oh, hello Jane, Tony ” Stephen greeted and they both answered.
Anthony angry at seeing Stephen arms around Damina while Jane felt horny wishing Tony would just take her.
“So have you decided to come to the party?” Jane ask
“Yes and she’s coming with me. I will be her chaperone for that day” Stephen said.
“Why will you go with her?” Anthony ask starring at Damina.
“Well it’s because am courting her” Stephen replied.
“Courting?” Anthony ask still starring at Damina.
“Are you for real? You are courting her?” Jane ask making it seem like a insult.
“I am. Is some thing wrong with that?” Stephen ask and all the while Damina and Anthony kept starring at each other.
“There is nothing wrong,nothing at all” Anthony replied before walking off while Jane went after him.
“Wait up babe” Jane kept calling but Anthony was boiling with rage that as soon as he got into an empty class, he pulled Jane into his arms kissing her roughly while squeezing her B-__-bs.
“That’s it….f-__-k me Anthony,Just f-__-k me” Jane muttered in between kisses and that was what he did.
****
“You shouldn’t have told Anthony and Jane that you are courting me” Damina said as they stood beside the car waiting for Anthony and Mary to come out so they can all go home.
“I had to,I want him to know that am serious about you” Stephen said.
“You keep on saying serious, how exactly serious are you?” Damina found herself asking Stephen and his answer was to kiss her on the lips.
Startled Damina move away from him only to see Anthony starring at them a distance away and he had that angry look on his face.
“Am deadly serious about you” Stephen said but Damina wasn’t paying attention cause she was looking at Anthony who approached them.
“Hey dude” Stephen said cheerfully but Anthony didn’t bother to give a reply and ignoring the both of them,he went straight to his car.
Quickly saying a good bye to Stephen, she went to join him and a while later the tantrum Mary showed up.
All through their way he said nothing but she could feel the anger emanating from him.
She clearly don’t believe that Anthony likes her after all he had Jane who is more prettier and more sophisticated.
As soon as they got home, she and Mary got out of the car and immediately he drove off without bothering to come in.
It was late in the evening that he returned and in toll with him was Jane who surely was welcome warmly by their parents.
Not wanting to feel heart broken at seeing Jane and Anthony together, she decided to skip dinner pretending to be sick and she was sick.
Sick at heart for loving some one she shouldn’t have, she thought as she went to bed to get some sleep.
*****
~JANE PARTY ~
Stephen had come to pick her up for the party and she had dress her best just so she won’t be the odd one out.
Anthony had left the house earlier just so he would get to Jane house on time.
It’s been awkward being around him and trying to hide her feelings but she did it well with no qualms at all.
It was a while later that Damina stood at a table with Stephen feeling lost when she look up to see Anthony gaze on her.
Though he was with Jane, his eyes never left her which made her feel some weird sensation in her.
The MC taking hold of the mic caught everyone attention which got her looking away from him.
“Okay every one, we will be playing a game and it’s gonna be called light out for 10 seconds” he said while everyone began murmuring in excitement.
“So within that 10 seconds you are free to do what you want with any one you want while the light is out but remember that it’s only for 10 seconds and so you’ve got to be fast…..so every one, the game starts now” The MC said as someone standing by the hall light turned it off causing darkness every where.
“Stay close to me Damina” Stephen voice drifted to her in the dark but with people going about,she found herself moving away from Stephen and she would have fallen if some one hadn’t hold onto her in the dark.
“Thank you” she muttered and pull away only to be drawn back into that stranger arms.
Before she could say Jack,Damina felt the stranger lips on her…..
