17 C17: No taking stuff from strangers

(Reign)

I feel so tired after arriving at sis's place. It's almost seven pm. I was so tired on our way here, but because I am so nervous, I fought against my sleep. The ride here was also somewhat quiet and a little awkward to the point where I was regretting my decision to leave, but then again, I'm so over being the obedient third child of the well off Mc Kenzi family of Jellico street.

Sis paid for everything making me feel useless but she said to me that it was okay and I shouldn't worry because she works and I don't, what I noticed too was that sis is rich? But the car she drives is an Audi A5, grey-silver in colour, the clothes she wears is well, common, I guess but what's surprising is the colour of her bank card, it's black, isn't that the colour the private account holders have? Well, I know what my question will be sometime later.

Again, this makes no sense, sis lives in a small-ish house that is big enough for 2-3 people and is kept neat.

"Reign put your bags near the couch, I'll get you something to drink," she says as she heads to the kitchen.

I placed my bags down next to the couch as she said. She didn't take long before returning with a glass of orange coloured something. She stopped in front of me holding out the glass and two white pills in her other hand.

"Take these pills too, they'll help you rest tonight, sleeping in a place you aren't familiar with won't be easy so taking these pills will help you for now." I looked at her sceptically but took the glass and pills anyways.

Bouncing the pills in my hand I wondered if they were really sleeping pills, I also remembered the no taking stuff from strangers rule.

Laughing at myself for thinking this up now only, well not trusting her further will be like a slap to her face since she already paid for my food and movie ticket, not to mention the fact that she drove all the way to the neighbouring town to pick me up.

Downing the pills along with the juice, it tastes like mango juice… She seated herself on the couch across me with her head hanging over the back of the couch, exposing her bare neck for me to see… I suddenly feel the need to bite her neck.

Running my tongue across my teeth I asked her, "Cindy can I sit," she whipped her head up to look at me with an apologetic expression, patting the seat beside her she said, "As long as you sit beside me."

Walking over I seated myself beside her awkwardly while still looking at her. Her head leaned back as she looked at me; the two of us stared at one another until I felt a bit drowsy, I guess the pills are kicking in.

She reached out her hand to me touching mine and enclosing it… Leading me to her bedroom.

After I sat down on the bed she reached over to grab the pillows saying, "I still have work late even though I am off, sleep and don't worry, you are safe here with me, I'll be in the next room doing my work so just call if you need anything okay?"

Nodding my head slowly I took off my jacket and laid my head down. I watched her walk through the doorway and heard a door shut close by, I'm guessing that's where she is.

Blinking my eyes, they don't want to stop. I quickly grabbed the bedsheets and pulled it over my head. Tears started pouring out, I'm so scared, I want to go back home, why did I leave?

(Cindy)

Sitting in the room next door, Cindy sat with her fingers locked together while her chin rested on her hands, her eyes were staring at her computer screen waiting for it to switch on. Sighing heavily she asked herself, "What am I doing? He is already here but what next, it's not like the two of us are sexually attracted to one another. Although I like how his inner thighs look that's it, emotionally I feel that we have a connection but the bond between us is still on the level of two strangers meeting for the first time. We can't go straight into having sex because we aren't attracted to one another so where do we start? Kissing? Exploring? What? How did my relationship with Maxine even start?

���Ah!" she exhaled, resting her back against the chair rubbing her burning eyes.

"Romance movies should help right?"
