Sometimes stuff makes you do despicable deeds. As of this moment, I am dumbfounded by the leather jacket held out to me. If I were not soaking wet, shivering with a cold, and going red due to fever, I would happily waste his attempt at being a gentleman. His biceps twitched as he held out the jacket further while he pitched his voice. How dare he command me? It can’t be possible that my wavering hands are reaching out for the jacket that is drenched with the scent of pure leather. Maybe my hands are naive or my vision is blurred or my senses are blocked as I am reaching out for something out of reach. I shut my eyes. Maybe I am just dreaming. Suddenly he wraps my shoulders with his jacket. I want to take it all in: the warmth, the pleasure, and the gist. All of his kindness seems to be a fantasy. Am I still alive? The warmth brings on realization and my eyes snap open. What am I doing with my enemy by my side?
Olive's Pov
I admit that I went overboard with my act.
Now that I have regained the peace of my mind, I definitely regret my childish actions.
The thoughts just haunt me continuously. The fact that I proved myself a lunatic in front of a stranger drives me crazy.
"Let it out already and stop contemplating!" Lily asks me with a mocking grin.
"I believe you know it better, this isn't something I can get over with"
"How am I supposed to know why you are going insane? It isn't the first time you were caught dressed as a man in the women's toilet. Why do you just keep rolling over the bed, tossing your head, strangling your hair and throwing pillows around?"
"That what is it exactly. I have never been stuck in a toilet with a man before"
"What!" her shrieking voice echoes around the living room.
"What do you mean? What guy? You didn't mention him when you came home. Hurry now stop messing with me and come straight to the point, her expressions were brimmed with curiosity.
"Lily", I say when she flops on the sofa in front of me, bringing a pillow to her chest, hands under her chin, showing her interest to listen to my doom's story.
"It is your fault". That's all I say to her which gives her a fit of tantrum."Do you need a drum roll?"
Her earnest expressions are gone when she nods her head at the sudden accusation.
"You need coffee", she says while treading to the kitchen island. She begins to toss stuff around to find the ingredients. "You are dreaming. You will wake up in no time then tell me your story" she says in an intimidating tone.
Looks like I am a slave.
"I bet you don't know the feeling of proving yourself a lunatic "I speak out all of a sudden.
"Uh? As far as I know, you normally say sorry for the misunderstanding, take off your wig apologize again and walk out with your chin high."
"Well I was far from being sensible this time"
"Drop it already, get to the point "Lily smashes the spoon on the counter" just tell me what you did"
I wipe off a tear that came out of nowhere. Why am I being so emotional? It's not like I will ever meet him again. I clear my throat and begin to narrate my sad tale.
"Given the astounding fact that I was extremely short of time, I did everything in a hurry. From reaching the cafe to changing into the uniform I didn't even stop to take a deep breath.
In all that haste I accidentally bumped into a handsome man and didn't bother to apologize. I truly believe that he brought me bad luck because after that not only things went out of my control I also ended up ruining his date as well.
Although I was able to safely escape the spot, he followed me into the restroom.
I was wild enough to shove him into a stall, stomp on his toe and cover his mouth with all the strength of my hand just to keep him from speaking.
I even made a stupid pinky promise with him.
Then I ran out of the stall shouting and laughing in an evil and crazy way.
When I was dragged outside and beaten up, instead of apologizing and clearing the misunderstanding, I kept laughing like crazy till I saw him leave.
I can't believe I am so bad at making friends yet I make enemies so easily no matter where I go.
He must believe I am crazy"
I smash my face in the pillow. I am truly embarrassed.
When I lift my head, I see lily standing still like a mannequin.
The moment our eyes meet she bursts out laughing.
