Her FaceBook Friend

Chapter 20

I was back in my room, doing my delayed homework that I needed to complete. After our bad encounter, The rest of the day went smoothly for me without any difficulties and I didn’t saw him again too, just a few rude words here and there from some of my bullies nothing worse.

‘Your first kiss is stolen. What could be worse than it?’

My stupid brain reminded me and I shook my head to clear my thoughts. Crying over things that I have no control over will do me nothing good. It will only increase my problems.

Inhaling a breath, I opened my phone to distract my mind. Wanting to see if Remo did text me again or not. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

“Hey”

“Are you worried about me Jacky?” I read and reread his text multiple times.

‘Why? I didn’t even know myself.

Scrolling down I saw his other text.

“Riots have occurred after the last day we talked and the internet was shut down for a few days here, so I couldn’t contact you. But don’t worry about me! I am fine. Nevertheless, if you missed me so much how about you give me your phone number. It will be easy for you to contact me.”

Instantly my brows frowned and I opened the google and searched for it.

‘it had happened. Oh, God! And I didn’t even have any idea about it. Riots in our country happen almost every year. It was nothing new. Two communities fighting over something without even a concrete reason mainly it was always caused by the political parties just before the election to win in one.

“Hey. I am sorry to know about it. Are you Okay? How about your family? Is everything okay?” This time I typed faster than I would have typed. Maybe he had created a little place for himself in my heart.

“I am fine Jacky. Don’t worry, me and my family both are fine. I didn’t know I mattered to you that much. ” his reply was ready in an instant and my heart decided to do a summersault without me knowing. What was I doing? Getting worried over a boy I talked like from a few days ago.

At that time I didn’t get the idea, of how to reply to him. So I took few seconds to type out the perfect reply

“Of course, I knew about the riots, that’s why I was asking.” I tried to portray that It was a nonchalant reply.

“Whatever makes you sleep at night baby.” He teased and instantly a smile Bloomed on my face.

He has a way with words.

“1234567890 this is my number. If you are worried about me next time, don’t hesitate to call me. I will be happy to answer you back.” I found myself staring at the screen again.

‘How can he just give me his phone number, doesn’t he have any trust issues?’ I was still processing the information he gave me when His second message comes quickly and my breath hitched reading it.

“By the way, I couldn’t stop thinking about you in the last two days. I know you might think I am just trying to flatter you, but this is coming from my heart. I missed you, Jacky.”

I exhale, God, when the hell did these words, started affecting me. Am I falling in love?

I looked at his text again. And then again. Reading it like twenty times. And then look up from it looking at myself in the mirror on the wall. Along with understanding his flirting, I was smiling. I couldn’t wipe out the smile from my face.

“Jacky? What happened?”

I didn’t reply. I didn’t know how was I suppose to reply to him. So I kept my phone aside and concentrated on my books. Biology book. Highlighting the important lines and making a question at every line. Thanks to him, I was able to reconnect with the subject without any hindrance from my mind since it was a topic of hormones. Chemical messengers of our body, responsible for our various emotions. ‘Yeah, it must be hormones that were making me behave in the way I was doing.’

I was midway through writing the question at each line when my new pen’s nib fractures and my veins tighten. ‘I am still thinking about him!’

Another ping from my phone compelled me to grab it up and I saw his other text

“I would like to kiss you once Jacky.”

His words changed again, I was still unaware of how his mind worked?

Nikki’s voice along with her knocking on my door made me sit up. “Jacky! Come down for dinner!”

Clearing the crease from my clothes I stood up walking towards the door. It was her turn to make something for dinner today. And she had this weird habit of making people eat dinner the moment she finishes simmering it.

“Coming.”

Abruptly, I open the door at her face.

I scream. “Ah!”

and she screams

“Ah..”

“You.”

I laugh flickering a finger on her forehead.

“Someone is scared!”

“I am going to kill you, Jacky!” She tries to grab me. But I run towards the stairs waving at her. Laughing.

“Hahaha. Catch me first dear sister.”

Though she was better than me in sports, it didn’t mean she was better than me in running. It was the only aspect I was better than her.

‘Hah. Since I am also better at running away from my problems.’

I stopped for my breathing to normal. While She came from behind me tickling me. Oh, I forgot to tell you I was always a ticklish person. Even if someone just touches me in sensitive places I get tickled.

She hands-on me; my stomach. As she pressed her fingers near my belly b***on.

“Haha. Stop it, Nikki, please. I swear I will not do it again.”

I thrashed my hand to hers trying to stop her but she is the strong one. She Held mine in one. Without any extra effort.

“No. Who told you to mess with me. Now bear with it.”

“Hahaha. But Nikki it wasn’t too much. So stop it. haha Please.”

Her eyes narrowed at me and I ignored my urge to roll my eyes at her.

“You have to promise me?”

Controlling my giggles, I nodded at her eagerly trying to make her believe that I was serious when in my heart I wasn’t. The minute she will leave me I will mess with her again. She dusted the invisible dust from my clothes and ran her fingers on my stomach again resulting in my giggling again.

“You should know, what I will do to you the next time if you tried that prank on me.” She said coolly her eyes filled with mischief while her fingers played across my bulge again making me inhale.

My eyes filled with tears because of all the laughing.

“Yes she cries a lot, but she is not fragile like dolls not like petals. She can burn you in flames if you dared to mess with her.” ifveen]

….

She is going to tickle me to death if I didn’t agree with her. So I nodded meekly at her.

I felt her hand loosening on my wrists and I collected my weak body. Walking further away from her. I should attack her from far away since attacking her when I am this near to her is dangerous.

I took a deep breath to calm my nerves and quickly I pulled up the cushions from the sofa hurling at her face in a swift motion

She gaped at me, wide-eyed but her eyes showed a clear emotion of affection and happiness.

Laughing I stuck my tongue out at her as I ran opposite her. Looking back I saw amus****t clear in her eyes.

“You should laugh more like this Jacky. I want to see you laughing so carefree and so happy. Again and again.”

Her words made me press my lips in a thin line. Remembering my reality of life.

She put the cushion down and raised her hands to touch me and just when I thought she was going to tickle me, she hugged me gently though.

Mumbling “I missed seeing you like this Jacky. Please stay this way. It brings joy to me too.”
