Chapter 8

Khloe's POV

Beep beep beep , the sound was rather distant but very irritating . It was after a few minutes I realised that my cell phone was ringing . I picked the cell up from the table beside my bed .

"Hello." I answered without checking the caller's name .

" Khloe , I'm sorry for calling so early . It's Thomas I certainly didn't sleep at all last night ." He tittered and took a breath before continuing. " No need to worry about me , I wasn't sick or anything . It's just I suddenly need you . I really don't know if I'm losing my mind or just simply being childish but I miss you. An I'm somewhat hoping that I could see you today , unless...." I then interrupted him.

" Thomas , do you know what time it is , no offence I know you apologized for calling at 4 am in the morning . Though couldn't you wait to ask me that at another hour." He then interrupted me.

"I know , I know .... please come visit me alright . I'm sorry for calling at this hour and surely am glad you answered. I love you . " He then dropped the call .

How amazing . He didn't even give me the opportunity to turn down his opportunity. Not that I was planning to . I really had fun yesterday , meeting his family and just getting to be with him , the kiss before I came back home . His character is rather discreet , I mean everything about him is straight to the point . He isn't complicated , he speaks up his mind . Says words exactly as he feels . Though I'm still curious if what I've read the past couple of days is just another folklore tale like my mom had said or rather something about Thomas and his family is really surreal . Fact is everything about him and his family just brings a crawl up my skin , I don't feel comfortable at all.

I know the entire idea is just silly , I don't believe in ghosts , zombies , vampires , werewolves and whatsoever . Though I truly got to find out what Audrey meant when she said Thomas is an angel . I ain't a churchgoer so my knowledge on angels is rather small , though all i know is their good angels and evil angels . My questions will soon be answered because I'm going to start an investigation if wether Thomas could be a good one .

I hope he is . I know in all my nightmares he would usually show up unfriendly . I really do hope that's nothing because I sincerely do love him . Weird thing is ever since I met Thomas my nightmares have stopped completely.

Since I was awake . I thought it's best I woke up and started cleaning up my room , by 6 am I was done and had texted Lizzy over a cup of coffee about my first kiss with Thomas and how he didn't rush me into giving up my virginity even though I totally wanted him to .

Mom woke up surprised to see me awake so early on a Sunday morning.

"Nightmares again?" , she asked pulling a chair beside me with worry all around her face.

"No mom. It just happened I woke up earlier than usual . Are you alright , you seem exhausted ?", I said standing up to go prepare a cup of coffee for her.

"I just had a long night. I didn't see you last night when I arrived , where were you ?."she asked

" A friend visited while I was preparing to go to the mall with Lizzy and somewhat I ended up canceling my plans with Lizzy and hang around with him ." I said handing her a cup of coffee " Here is your cup of coffee. " I was about to go to my bedroom when mom suddenly said something that shocked me .

" I hope you used a condom." She said jokingly.

" Ahh mom come on . Ofcourse not , because we didn't do anything . Though I will keep that in mind since I am meeting him again today . I really hope you okay with that ."

" Hey , you little lady . Remember I'm your mother and if I said you aint going anywhere today. I would mean it. Today I thought it might be the perfect time you get to meet my friend . You know ... The one I've been going out with ." She then kept quiet .

"Alright mom , though I'm seeing him . Probably before your friend tags along." I jumped on my bed with sudden tiredness creeping over my eyes.

I really would like to meet mom's friend but I actually wanna see Thomas . See his smile, brush his short hair behind his earlobe , glazing on his beautiful eyebrows. Laying my head on his chest during a hug.

***********************************

"Khloe , wake up ." Mom kept yelling while banging at my door .

"What is it ?. " I cried out in annoyance .

" Khloe , you got a visitor he says he called you a couple of times and you cell kept taking him through voicemail . I'm going out on a lunch, hope to find you home , remember what we agreed on in the morning ." she informed me.

What!! Thomas was here , I pulled my cellphone from underneath my pillow and the lockscreen popped out 55 missed calls from Thomas and 10 WhatsApp texts . What time was it ? Oh my God , it's 3pm . I can't believe this , I slept through the entire day .What am I going to tell him . I got up from my bed went to the mirror and put on a lip gloss and an wore a doek to hide my uncombed hair.

"Heeey." I said abashed.

"Oh wow! Now I see why my calls and texts weren't answered . " he said jokingly

" I'm really sorry , I guess I overworked myself when I cleaned up earlier on . Thought I was taking a little nap . " I said settling right next to him

" No need to explain. I just came to see if you were alright . I had presumed that you were somewhat angry because I had called you earlier on." I then interrupted him .

" No you did nothing wrong at all . I just got tired . So since you wanted to see me and here I am . Think it's best we spend time right here because my mom really wants me to meet her friend. " I explained.

" That's fine by me . So what did you have in mind ?." I swear if you had seen how very attractive his eyes had glanced upon my frickled and pimpled face from another direction. You would swore he was staring on the face of a goddess.
