Heartbeat - Part 33
Sorry, my laptop had gotten stolen and had no way to type the next chapter. But now I'm back. The chapters will easily go beyond 70 if not 80. I know but I have planned a really long story.
But the up coming chapters are going to be great! Keep reading and please comment!
Maureen's screaming and shouting had woke me up. Seriously it was Friday and I didn't have lectures until 12 pm. Tash! As soon as her name came into my mind I raced off the bed in no time. I was indeed in love. Shit! How did that happen to me? I used to laugh at the mere thought of love, rom-coms made me sick and soppy love songs weren't me favorite. But somehow I wouldn't mind listening to soppy songs and rom-coms. Ahh it felt great being in love. The whole world felt different yet nothing had changed. I couldn't wipe the smile off my face.
I turned on the shower and let the water fall all over me. The water was cold yet my smile was still intact. I opened the shampoo and poured it into my hands and started washing my hair. Awww! Shut! Why does it always fall into my eyes? Stupid thing. Maybe I should follow the instruction next time. Yea, maybe. Oh heck I don't follow instructions who are we kidding.
I finished my shower with a blast of cold water. I quickly dressed and pulled some socks on. I sat on my bed and put my shoes on and tied my laces. Maybe I should take her some flowers? She'd like that. Wow it's so easy to put a smile on her face. I stood up and quickly ran out the house.
I couldn't wait to see her. The day was really nice but it was chilly. I got in the car and drove off; my mind full of her thoughts, her laugh and her words. It was as if my life just revolved around her. But suddenly just one thought had changed all that. I suddenly braked without thinking. What if she didn't love me back? The thought of her not loving me back made my heartbreak, made me hurt all over. What then? "Hey are you crazy?" An elderly older woman knocked on my window. "What?" I asked coming out of my daze. "You could have hit my car, do you realize how expensive car insurance is these days?" She mumbled something and left. I started driving again. The smile from my face had vanished. I felt tired and frail as if the life had been sucked out of me. Maybe it did but what should I do? I'm going to go mad just thinking about this. I turned around and drove off to the only other place that was home to me.
"Zain my boy." Mrs R said as she saw me enter through the door behind Mo. "I uh, Just busy with uni work and all." I said. "It's been long, No?" She asked, her accent just as thick as I remember. I walked into the kitchen and threw myself on a stool. I put my forehead onto the worktop and let out a sigh. "Dude, you okay." MO asked looking at me funnily. "You looked exhausted; you've been missing gym sessions and." "I know, okay." I barked at him, cutting him off. He just looked at me as if I'd told him he had two heads. "Sorry." I mumbled and walked over to the refrigerator and took out a beer. "Dude you never drink this early." Mo said sitting on the worktop. "I know I just..." "Hey Zain." Eliana walked in batting her eyelashes at me. "Let's go gym." I said pushing the can towards the other end un-opened. I didn't want to talk about it in front of her and I needed to calm myself down.
Natasha's P.O.V
Where was he? Why am I waiting for him? Should I call him? Urgh, "I'm so lost." I said sitting on the chair. He's probably still sleeping. I should get to lecture. Maybe I should text him? I pull my phone out to text him, when Amber comes through the door. "Hey come on lets go, we're going to get late." She said waiting for me at the door. I'll text him during lecture.
The long lecture of 2 hours had finally ended but yet still no sign of Zain. I was feeling sad and worried. Why didn't he call or text yet? I pulled my phone out to text him. "Where's Zain today?" Imani asked putting her books away. "I don't know, I'm texting him now." I said walking towards the library. It felt weird him not being her. I was missing him. I stopped in my tracks. I was missing him? I do like him, so it's natural. "What's wrong?" Imani said waving a hand in front of my face. "Mhhmm, what? Oh err, nothing." I said stuttering. "Hmm yea right, you're probably just missing Zain." She said casually. I didn't reply. "Oh my god, you are missing him." She exclaimed. "Yes, but apparently he is not missing me, He didn't even text back." I said. My heart felt so light, as if it were sinking.
"Mhmm, he probably has stuff on." She said. "Maybe." I said lightly. After struggling to concentrate on my work, I gave up and ended in the cafeteria with a big piece of chocolate cake in front of me. "What I like to eat?" I said looking at Imani who was staring at my cake. "Yea I can see that you like to eat when you're stressed." She said sipping her juice. I scrunched my nose at her.
Zain's P.O.V
"What, I mean what the fudge man, Love!" Mo exclaimed. I knew telling him wasn't the right thing to do, at least there was nobody else in the gym. "Yea I said wiping the sweat from the back of my neck. It had been two weeks since I had come to gym, the last day was when I had a date with Tash; My beautiful Tash whom I loved dearly. The only one who could make me smile, angry and sad at the same time. I let out a chuckle. I sat on the bench and moved my head back until it was touching the wall and let out another sign. "Dude you're a goner." MO said laughing at me. "Look, I think she probably feels the same way, she's probably missing you tons, and left like 50 messages already, trust me, that's how most chicks work." He went on. "Yea but she's not most chicks, she is THE chick." I said and got up and stuffed everything into my bag. "Most chicks just say I love you to you on your first date and after two days their saying it to somebody else." I said pulling my phone out.
I had two missed calls and a text message; A call from Maurine and one from Eliana. The message was from Tash. I smiled my heart started pumping blood again and I felt like the message had breathed life into me again. She was worried for me; she even put a sad face smiley at the end of the message. "Told you so." Mo said looking at my shining face. "Only one message." I said showing him the phone. "Hmmm, hope you're ok, he said reading the message, Oh well at least you can see that she is missing you." He said picking up his bag and walking towards the door. "And how do you know?" I asked curiously. "Because she's sad you're not there." He said not looking at me. Maybe, I thought and closed the door behind me. "I'll tell you what to do," Mo said smiling.
Natasha's P.O.V
I walked into last lecture, I didn't feel like going. I felt like something wasn't right, something was missing. I felt alone and sad. Something was missing, actually someone was missing, Zain. I sat on the chair and put my bag onto the worktop. "Howdy there partner?" Zain whispered in my ear. "Zain." I exclaimed. "I,I, Where were you this morning? I texted you but you didn't text back I was so worried. Why didn't you text back. I, I." I stopped for breath. "Whoa there cowboy, breath." He said trying to calm me down. "Oh you're back to your normal self then now Tasha." Imani said looking back at me and winking at Zain. "What happened, what does Imani mean?" Zain said with a smirk. "Uh I don't know, I, Uh I." I barely managed and turned to my bag. "You what Tash?"
Zain asked moving my forearm so I was facing towards him. "Hmm, you missed me?" He said, the left side of his lips turning upwards making him smirk. It was more a statement rather than a question. I opened my mouth to say something when the lights went out. "We're watching a documentary on nerves, since you get on mine during my lectures." Dr. Coleman said looking directly at Zain. "Hey guys, can I sit with you, thanks." Rayaan said sliding his chair towards mine. "Did you then?" Zain said looking directly at me. "What did she what?" Rayaan asked interested. "Dude, have you tried out the new halo game? Rayaan said without waiting for Zain to answer. They started talking about their games and movies. Thank God, otherwise I'd have something, something what Tasha? You did miss him, I thought to myself. I know but I can't tell him that yet.
Zain's P.O.V
I know it, I know she missed me. I have to make it say it otherwise I won't be able to calm myself down. Mo was right, I had to make her understand her own feelings. I know she loves me, even if she doesn't she will, I will make it happen. I thought to myself. I can't ignore her, Mo was just being silly and I don't want to make her jealous, dude that chick stuff, plus I don't want to mess anything up. No, I have to make her realize it. She's my girlfriend; she must like me enough to be that.
"Tasha, wait." I said running behind her towards homeroom. "I'm in a hurry." She said walking swiftly. "In a hurry to get away from me." I said grabbing her wrist and pulling her towards me. I closed the door with my foot, which resulting it in being locked on the hatch from the inside. "Miss Abrahams, I believe you owe me an answer and some kisses." I said looking at her lips. "You didn't answer my questions?" She said trying to get out of my grip. "Right well, let's see. Mo dragged me to the gym." I said looking at her. I hated lying to her. "Oh, right." She said and tried sliding her hand out of my grip. I moved over to the wall and pinned her to the wall. "Zain let go." She whispering. "Tash," I said inserting my fingers into hers and bringing her hand to my lips. "Did you miss me?" I asked her again. I could feel her heart beating as fast as mine. That was proof enough for me that she felt the same way. Her heart belonged to me, and I wasn't going to let it go. I moved my head down and kissed her neck asking her the same question again. "Zain," she whispered.
"Yea" I asked looking into her eyes, moving her astray locks of hair around with my finger. "Did you miss me?" I asked again moving my body closer to hers. "Yes." She said looking away. I pulled her chin up and asked "Why?" She looked at me and then closed her eyes. I felt the urge to kiss her, but I couldn't not yet anyway, I needed her to answer. Not listening to myself I kissed her lips. I had kissed her last night but it felt so long, like an eternity. I forget everything when I'm kissing her like this. Someone, like always ruined my perfect moment by knocking on the door. I jerked away from her like a lightning bolt. "Open up." Imani's voice said. I opened the door letting Imani in. "Why was the door locked?" Imani asked looking at Tash. "It must have locked accidentally, I didn't realize." She replied. "Okay." Imani said and started typing on her phone keypad. "You don't realize a lot of things, but you will soon." I said leaving the room. If not today then tomorrow I will make you mine Tash, I thought to myself and smiled. My plan was going as planned. I would sleep happily today.
I turned on the shower and let the water fall all over me. The water was cold yet my smile was still intact. I opened the shampoo and poured it into my hands and started washing my hair. Awww! Shut!
