Forty

"Fuck." I muttered under my breath and gave Jessie a fierce look to show my disapproval of what she did.

After that, I hurried after Dylan. I wanted to meet him before he went to the room and met Ann. I also wanted him to be careful with how he opened the door to our room so he didn't wake her up and disturb her sleep.

"Hold on." I stopped Dylan from opening the door.

"What?" He asked thinking there was a reason to worry.

"Be quiet as we go in, Ann's sleeping in there."

"What?!"

"Shhhh."

"Why is she here?" He asked me, lowering his voice.

"It's a long story."

"Why are you like this?" He asked rhetorically before opening the door quietly as I requested. He looked around and turned to me.

"Where is she?" He asked me. I joined him inside the room and saw that Ann wasn't on my bed anymore.

"She was here," I answered."She was just here now, maybe she's in the restroom."

He shook his head and closed the door behind him before leaving his bag on his bed. It was then I remembered that Ann had thrown my top (which she was wearing before we had sex ) on his bed; it wasn't there anymore.

Dylan sat at the edge of his bed, taking off his shoes first and then his socks. He then stood to keep his shoes in a corner before asking:

"So you are finally giving Jessie a chance, huh?" He asked and I heard our bathroom door open immediately after.

Ann came out, she was wearing my top and her baggy trouser from before she showered earlier. Now she looked like a tomboy, a cute tomboy. I smiled without knowing it after she came out. I hope she didn't hear what Dylan just asked now.

"Heyy." She said to Dylan, her voice still sounded sleepy. Her eyes looked weak, she was still tired, she hadn't gotten enough sleep and rest as she planned.

"Hey." Dylan smiled unusually at her, he probably thought she was sick with the way she looked.

"I should be on my way." She came to me and whispered in my ear. Without waiting for me to say anything she started towards the door.

"Wait…" I turned and followed her immediately, opening the door for her."Let me come with you."

She didn't say anything, she just nodded and walked through the opened door. I let Dylan know that I'll be back soon by giving him an up-nod before closing the door to go with Ann.

I wanted to accompany her because I thought Jessie would still be there but gladly, she wasn't.

Ann took her time going down the stairs slowly while I followed behind her. I think she packed her other things in her handbag because it was fuller than it was this afternoon.

When we got outside, it was dark already. I had to check on my phone to see what the time was and it said: 0 7: 1 2 pm.

"Can you drive?" I asked when we got to her car.

"Yeah." She smiled and pressed a button on her car keys that made the car beep as it opened.

"Ann." I stopped her when she was about to get into the car and she turned back to me with a 'Yeah?' look. "Let me take you home, give me the keys." I opened my palm in front of her. I didn't think she could drive herself home, she looked really weak.

She came up to me, placing the key bunch in my hand and standing on her toes to give me a peck on the cheeks. I smiled when she did that.

If there was one thing I have come to know about Ann, it was that she didn't like to ask for favours, she expected you to know what she needed most times and if possible, give it to her. She usually never asked for much, she just wanted to be treated right and I guess she was happy after I opted to take her home.

She had gone over to the other side of the front seat and gotten into the car so I sat in the driver's seat to take her home.

The drive was mostly quiet all through, I turned my attention from the road to her now and then and she had her eyes closed but I couldn't tell if she was asleep or not.

I now somewhat regret having sex with her, she enjoyed it too but it made her more tired than she was.

"Ann?" I called in a low voice when we got to her place but she didn't answer. She was sleeping, I guessed right.

Stepping out of the car, I went on to open her side of the door; I was going to carry her up. I didn't want to wake her up.

Slowly and gently getting her out of the car, I shut the car door as quietly as I could with my butt. With her in my arms like a baby, I headed upstairs. She was sleeping so peacefully, I wonder if she could tell that I was carrying her right now.

I finally got to the last flight of stairs that lead to her apartment. Slanting her head a little, I stretched out my right hand to knock lightly on the door. Some of her long hair fell with her head slanted a little; she must be really really tired because I thought that would have made her open her eyes but it didn't. I knocked again, wanting her roommate to open the door, I didn't want Ann's sleep disturbed with the way her head was right now.

Lily opened the door and poked her head out first. After seeing me with Ann, she opened the door widely so I could pass through.

I carried Ann to their bedroom and kept her on the neatly arranged sheets. I think her roommate already changed it. Still arranging Ann's head on the pillow, I heard her roommate say ask;

"She is okay, right?" Her roommate asked, concerned.

"Yeah, she is just still tired."

"Thanks."

"Yeah." I just said.
