4 Who's Curse?
Monday morning had me looking like a devastated widower. I had bags under my eyes and my back was slouched to make me look a few inches shorter. I had stayed up most of the night binge watching movies I didn't even liked that I barely had an hour to sleep, mostly because I slept in the day before.
My date with Hayley had ended on good terms, I guessed as she spent the whole weekend texting - no, wrong word, sexting - me. That morning, I felt like a major dork, contemplating on ditching classes for the day as I didn't have the guts to face Hayley.
' Hey, Lawrence. Now don't you feel like walking or taking the bus today? Hurry up, fool. ' I heard Liam yell from down the stairs as I dressed up after a much needed lengthy bath.
' Chill out, man. I'll be right down in a second. ' I yelled back, combing my hair with the curve of my hands.
I jumped into the car just in time for Liam to start driving as he already started the engine and it reminded of the last Saturday. I was so stoked about the date - and yeah, the sex too - that I had already walked halfway home before I remembered I had driven to Hayley's mansion. I had to walk back again and ask the guards to let me in. At first they wouldn't, so I pulled the one with the less scary face and explained my predicament, leaving most of the details out. He smiled, giving a knowing look like he saw through me and let me in. I ran across the large field to where I parked and immediately I started the engine, released a breath I didn't know I was holding. I had driven past my house when I realized where I was going, so I just rounded the block to avoid Liam's teasing. Liam could barely contain his curiosity, he literally pulled me up to my room and bolted the door after us, grinning.
' How was the sex?' was the first thing he asked.
' Dude! How do you even know there was sex? '
' Look at you. You're all giddy and stuff, it's evident you got laid. Spill! ' I chuckled, and after a little more coercion, gave the details of my date, leaving out the unpleasantries as I changed into my normal clothes. I could see admiration in his eyes as he got off the bed and approached me, sniffling in an exaggerated manner; ' Man, have I taught you well. ' and hugged me.
' Hey, that's enough, peasant. ' I said, pushing him away in mock disgust .
' Right. Right. ' stepping back, he said ; ' Now remember, you can never bang Hayley again.
' What are you talking about, Liam? ' I asked with a small frown.
' It's the Invincible Law, kid. You never heard of...? Of course you never heard of it. ' smacking his head, he said ' I'm sorry I didn't tell you about this, but I assumed you already knew. '
' What are you talking about, Liam ? ' I repeated, my annoyance mounting.
' Well, you were disvirgined by Hayley, whom I'm sure wasn't a virgin before you. ' he said in an enquiring manner
' Right. And? ' I said with a tinge of impatience.
' She broke your virginity, thereby taking away your virgin curse. ' He stated, pacing the room. ' If by any chance you shag that lady again, you'd be bringing the curse of St. Virginia upon yourself. ' he ended, stopping right in front of me.
' The what?! '
