Jealousy Unveiled

As Natasha stood there smiling, Evelyn approached from the darkness, giving Natasha a minor jump scare.

Evelyn: Hey! Natasha, right?

Natasha: Um, that's correct!

Natasha attempted to leave, but Evelyn quickly positioned herself in front of her to prevent her from doing so.

Evelyn: Rushing somewhere?

Natasha: I'm rushing to my room to study for a test.

Evelyn: We're taking the same course, right? I'm Evelyn! (stretched hand out with a playful grin)

Natasha: Oh! Yeah, we are taking the same course so I'll see you in class tomorrow!

Natasha stopped and turned as soon as she heard James' name.

Evelyn: (Shouts) James!

Natasha stopped and turned as soon as she heard James' name.

Evelyn: So! That name caught your attention, huh? Do you like James?

Natasha: What!? No -o-o-o. James - James and I, we, we're just friends.

Evelyn: You're stammering!

Natasha: We're just friends!

Evelyn: Good then! Because James and I, go way back. From High school! Kissing and doing all sorts of shit in the bathrooms during breaks. So just know that James is mine!

Natasha: (Grinned) It was nice meeting you, Evelyn!

Natasha hurried to her room while Evelyn stood and watched her walk away. James arrived and was surprised to find Evelyn there.

James: Evelyn?

Evelyn: (Turns to James) James!

Evelyn then saw James carrying a plastic bag.

Evelyn: What's in the plastic?

James: Uh, nothing.

As James tried to walk away, Evelyn grabbed his hand and pulled him close to her face.

Evelyn: Do not.... lie to me, James Phiri!

James: There are two shawarmas and two drinks in the bag.

Evelyn: For who?

James: Th-they're for Steve and me. I'm spending the night in his boarding house and we don't want to cook so we'll have a shawarma.

Evelyn: So you'll be in campus today? I can pass through, you know.

James: I-I don't think we need any distractions. Thanks for the offer but maybe next time.

James walked away after speaking to Evelyn, passing through Steve's room on his way to Natasha's room where he discussed her with Steve.

James: Yoh, I'm telling you, this girl is fine! And she's letting me be in her boarding house with her. Alone! Just the two of us!

Steve: Bro, chill. This is your first time doing this, right?

James: I mean, duh, you know my situation, we've grown up together and I've never really had a girlfriend or anything because they always looked at my situation.

Steve: Except Eve, my dream girl who is apparently into you. Girl's been checking you out since day one! But let me give you some advice, do not miss any opportunity! You see your chance, you take it homie. If she got her eyes locked on you and bits her lip as you explain something brilliant, do not hesitate, stop what you're doing and eat that girl like never before!

James: Ooooh! Bro! I'm definitely going to go inside tonight! But the thing, this girl sh-she's different homie. I mean like, I really love her and I can't disrespect her by sleeping with her tonight. I mean I wasn't raised that way.

Steve: There you go again with your pathetic, "not raised like that" talks. Broo, everyone is clearly doing it. It's in us. It's our generation, bruh! You just have to do it!

James: Just because everyone's doing it, doesn't mean I should do it too.

Steve: That's your own cut homie! All I'm saying is, better do shit now because you'll find Jesus shows up tomorrow. I mean, that's the only reason I do such because I wouldn't want to die a virgin or something!

James: Life ain't always about sex bro. Yoh, let me go see Natasha before she thinks I changed my mind or something.

Steve: Alright homie, check ya later, but remember, one kiss won't hurt!

James: Sure thing bro! Yeah, I guess!

James walked swiftly and quietly to Natasha's room. She immediately opened the door when he knocked. She was in a babydoll outfit which arouses that feeling of 'show me more' in men.

Natasha: Come in! I was expecting you about 10, 15 minutes ago.

James: I'm so sorry, I bumped into Evelyn and had to pass through Steve's room. Y-you look amazing.

Natasha: Aw, thanks! Uh, Evelyn. Yeah, I met her. I don't like her.

James: Yeah, well. Steve does!

Natasha: For real?

James: (Chuckles) Yeah.

James and Natasha spent time talking and enjoying each other's company. James assisted Natasha with her studies, even though he didn't have much knowledge about medicine. He patiently waited for Natasha to finish studying and then asked her questions related to what she had learned. At one point, Natasha grabbed her laptop to show James something, but accidentally dropped it. She quickly picked it up and turned it on, only to find that the screen remained blank.

Natasha: Oh no! My PC. The screen is damaged.

James: Is it? Let me see.

James then checked the laptop and opened it.

James: (Chuckles) This laptop is not damaged. The impact from the fall just caused the ram to move which made the laptop power on but display nothing.

Natasha found herself captivated by James as he effortlessly elucidated various topics, deepening her admiration for him. Unbeknownst to her, she was biting her lip in a subtly suggestive manner while casting an unabashedly seductive gaze upon him.

As James concluded his explanations and noticed Natasha's enraptured expression, he couldn't shake off Steve's earlier advice. Closing the laptop, James approached Natasha with a determined gaze, their eyes locking in a charged moment. With a deliberate and tender gesture, he placed his right hand gently on Natasha's thigh, his touch so smooth and soothing that it transported her mind to another realm.

Natasha, overcome with desire, cupped James' face tenderly in her hands before leaning in for a passionate kiss that seemed to stretch on endlessly. James, emboldened by her fervour, allowed his hands to roam freely, exploring every curve of Natasha's body with a palpable hunger. His touch ignited a fire within her, and she eagerly pressed herself against him, lost in the intoxicating sensation of their bodies moving together in a passionate embrace, grinding and humping.

Evelyn, who was planning on having an intimate time with James went to Steve's boarding house and knocked on his door. Steve, anticipating James's arrival, swung open the door only to be met with a surprise—Evelyn standing there instead.

Evelyn: Steve, hi!

Steve: Uh, Eve. Hey.

Evelyn: James said he was spending the night in your boarding house so I just thought of passing by. Probably to watch a movie, eat and the like.

Steve: Well, I'm sorry but James isn't here, Eve. But we can do what you wanted to do with James, y'know?

Evelyn: Ew, No! What an abomination. Wait, this is 20:47. Where is he at this time?

Steve: He didn't tell you? He's at Natasha's boarding house.

Evelyn: Natasha? As in, Natasha Kaunda?

Steve: Yeah.

Evelyn: Son of a bitch!

Evelyn swiftly departed and hurried to Natasha's boarding house. Arriving at Natasha's door, she was greeted by the sound of passionate moans emanating from within. Although James had yet to join Natasha by being inside her, his efforts had already elicited fervent responses. However, their amorous interlude was abruptly interrupted by a sudden and forceful pounding on the door. Startled, they ceased their activities immediately. Natasha quickly composed herself, while James, overwhelmed by the unexpected turn of events and the unfamiliarity of the situation, concealed himself, apprehensive about potential repercussions.

When Natasha partially opened the door, she saw that Evelyn was on the other side.

Natasha: Evelyn?

Evelyn: Where's James!?

Natasha: James? James is not here.

Evelyn: You're a very terrible liar.

Evelyn then hit the door, letting herself in only to find James, shirtless.

Evelyn: As if I didn't know.....James!

James: Evelyn? What are you doing here?

Evelyn: What the hell do you mean by what am I doing here? I'm looking for you.

Natasha: Evelyn it's not what y-

Evelyn abruptly ended Natasha's conversation with a forceful slap that knocked her to the ground. James quickly intervened and restrained Evelyn to prevent any further harm to Natasha. However, Evelyn continued to raise her voice, making her anger audible to the other residents in the boarding house.

Evelyn: Do not talk bullshit to me! Do not try to explain yourself.

While Richard and his gang of two were walking past, they heard screams coming from Natasha's boarding house.

Benji: Isn't that coming from Natasha's room?

Richard: Yeah, you're right, come on, hurry, let's go. Maybe she's in trouble.
