Forbidden Desires// HS

Chapter 2

You know one of those lazy Sundays when all your friends have something to do and are enjoying life and you're just too tired to get your ass off the bed? Well, today was one of them. Me being the couch potato I was, simply laid on the bed with my back against the wall with my pretty little laptop, sitting happily on my lap. My eyes might've gone all red with the due to my addiction of gadgets but hey, a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do, to keep herself from strangling her brother from going crazy with boredom.
So there I was, scrolling through tumblr. Looking at what the world is up to these days, while waiting for The Dark Knight to finish loading. Yes, I love that movie no matter how old it'll be, the movie will stay in my forever.
You know, the action and everything, I crave it! And my favorite character is definitely Joker. I mean, that guy knows what he's doing. Not caring about the world and only focusing on his main goal, unlike Batman. That's what life is supposed to be about after all. You're given the life to live it for yourself, not for others. Others should learn to deal with their lives themselves. After all, live is short and it is only one. You should know how to make the best of it for yourself. I'm not being selfish here as you might be thinking but this is just my opinion and how I like to take it. Other people's opinions may differ and I completely respect that.
Plus, another opinion I have is that life should be full of aim, intention and achievement. I mean who the hell would want to waste their life on love. Love is nothing but bull crap. I mean, who would want to just think about one person all lifelong and after that, get their heart broken. That's what the world is full of. People want to continue with their lives and achieve their aim, and to do that, they break up and end up breaking the other person's heart. So, it's better not to even bother with love.

Suddenly, I heard a trumpet playing in the background. I clicked the other tab open and clapped my hands excitedly.
Dark knight Rises was starting! I was suddenly transferred to a different world. My eyes stationed on the screen, not even blinking once even though they were dry and turning red.

"Ready or not? Here I come!"

See, that's how to get a perfect movie watching atmosphere! By hearing your phone telling you that you have got a text. Note Sarcasm.

Yeah, Bridgit Mendler was telling me I have a text by singing. Don't blame me, I really got addicted to that line.

I groaned. Clicking the pause button reluctantly, I reached for the bedside table. Sliding my finger on the screen, I read the sender's name. Only digits? Some unknown number.
Who could that be? I shrugged my shoulders and moved on to read the text. This is what it read:
"Fuck! You were able to screw her so fast. I'd thought that it'll at least take you a week to get laid. I saw you staring at her ass back then. Well, Sophie's waiting for me in my bed. She'll start screaming if I don't give her clothes soon. Oh, plus I had an amazing night. Don't worry, you'll get 'er too. One more thing, I'm going to chop your dick off if you don't come to Sophie's party."

I had no idea how I was supposed to be taking that. But one thing I do know is, WHO THE HELL SAYS ABOUT A GIRL LIKE THAT?
I agree, that’s pretty common in high schools but nobody takes it that lightly that you can just text about it?
There’s a thing called, 'self-respect', which is very important. I mean, they’re not toys that you just play with them and throw them away when you get bored.
And let me tell you one more thing, three words, I. HATE. SWEAR WORDS. Technically that’s four words but, yeah well, let’s not skip the point. This guy, whoever he was had no right to contaminate my mobile screen by using those letters forming disgusting words.
I hated people who used those words too. This guy is not getting away by texting me like that. Therefore, I did the most obvious and not to forget, stupid thing to do at that moment. I texted him back.
“Listen Mr. I-don’t-give-a-damn-to-what-the-girls-might-be-feeling, I know I shouldn’t be interfering in your business but this is my phone so therefore, I have the full right to correct you. Dude, first of all, you should check your contact list before sending a text.
Secondly, Girls aren’t playthings! Who the hell do you think you are? You may want your pleasure but at least show some respect to the ones who entertained you. I know I’m acting like a geek, I get that a lot but still, I can’t help my justice bells from ringing.
I know I may be a selfish girl but at the end of the day, I’m a girl… and I faced a lot of injustice myself so I- whatever. Hope you improve your ways.”

There. That should teach him how to treat girls the next time. Now, feeling good about doing a good deed, I proudly smiled to myself and clicked the play button.
Dun-dun-dun-duuuun!
Back to the movie.
Taking another bite from my donut, I watched intently as Batman came up on the screen. I was seriously enjoying myself but... hold that thought right there. Before I was born, it was probably decided that I will never be allowed to enjoy myself properly.

“Ready or not? Here I come!”

I took my phone and slid to unlock it.
Floating monkeys! It was from the same unknown number.
That guy had the guts to reply!
This is what he sent:
“ Ermm… Why am I, ‘I-don’t-give-a-damn-to-what-the-girls-might-be-feeling’? Bro, this is your new number, right? Why are you acting so weird?”

Weird? Trying to teach some manners to someone is weird? Oh, he’s on now…

Me: Bro? I do hope you have civic sense cause I’m definitely not a ‘bro’. And, how idioticly menacing can you be? Of course, you have sex-I mean ‘that’ with girls and then pass them on to your friends. That is something completely, socially acceptable. NOTE SARCASM.”

I took another bite from my donut. I knew he was going to reply and I braced myself for the upcoming text message war. As if right on cue, he replied.

Him: Hey, You a chick?
He was so getting on my nerves now.
Me: Happy realization! But I’m sorry to tell you kind sir, you are SKIPPING THE POINT!
Him: What’s your name?
This guy was crazy! He is getting personal now
Me: Why do you want to know?
Him: Are you scared to tell me?
Whatta jerk!
Me: Nope! Well yeah actually, I have no idea who you are. How can I trust that you are not going to come and kidnap me?
Him: Hmm… good point. Well you can't.
Me: Exactly, I can’t. So I can’t even tell you my name. Well, you don’t even need to know it.
Him: But you will tell me your name, sooner or later.
Yeah right. I’ll tell him my name! Egoistic jerk.
Me: In your dreams
Him: You’ll see ;) Anyways, I need someone to talk to, so if you don’t mind…
What did this jerk think he was? My best friend?!
Me: I DO mind. You see, Mr. someone-I-don’t-know, I don’t talk to strangers. Especially strangers like you.
Him: Please, It’s about my Dad…

Dad? Oh, What about my Dad? He isn't ever coming back.

I swallowed back an approaching sob.

Me: Well, okay. I don’t know why you want to discuss it with me but, if it’s about your dad then, Go ahead.
Him: My Dad left. He abandoned me and my mum. He left last month. Until yesterday, I felt like strangling him every time his image came up on my mind but now, Now I miss him. I’m really close to my mum. What about you?
Me: Yes I am, I’m very close to Mom and I-I miss my Dad too. He died few years ago. Why are you even sharing this with me?

By now, my eyes were brimming with tears but I did everything I could not to spill them. I had promised myself never to cry over my Dad but this guy, apparently, he touched a very soft spot of mine. I had no idea how.

Him: My mom and I are so close that she even has a special nickname for me :D What does your mum call you?
What the dancing fudge balls! This guy was smart but not smart enough for me. He is not getting my name so easily.
Me: I see where this is going. You think you’re smart but I’m smarter. Hehe.
Him: If you don’t want to tell me, it’s fine. My mom calls me Sky, wanna know why?
SKY?! But that’s my name. Even though I had no idea who this person was, he was already starting to reflect MY life, MY feelings.
Me: Why?
Him: She says that I resemble infinite emotions and no matter how fierce I may be, at the end I always turn out clear and beautiful ;)
Is he going to keep winking forever?!
A small smile crept up on my face. My name Sky had a totally different meaning and I completely followed that. But his was different. Good different if I do say so myself. I guess I could trust him enough to tell me name. After all, he shared a LOT with me and I still don’t know why he did it.
Still smiling, I replied
Me: Well… My name is Scarlett.
Him: Hey Scarlett ;)
Again a wink? I bet if he winked this much in real life, his eyes would fall off their sockets.
But I had to know why he shared this with me.
Me: Hey, why did you all of a sudden share all this with ME?
Him: I guess it was my inner voice screaming at me to let this all out. Telling you this, has lightened me. Plus, I really don’t know what, but there’s this part of me which somehow wants your trust. I know it sounds cliché but… I don’t know.
Me: Well, I don’t know what to say. I guess it was nice of you to think that but I’m sorry to disappoint you, I still don’t trust you completely.

My heart was beating faster as I waited for his reply.
What was I thinking? This guy confided so much in me and wanted my trust but I couldn’t lie to him! What if he stops replying? I didn’t want to make him feel bad but I also didn’t want him to be happy with a wrong assumption.
He replied.
My hands were shaking as I slid my phone unlocked.
Him: It’s okay, I didn’t expect it either. But hey, I got your name.

A goofy grin spread on my face. He wasn’t mad. Not that I would bother much just, just thinking.

Me: Well, you shared your story with me, so I thought you could know my name.
Him: I bet you’re as beautiful as your name Scarlett ;)

My cheeks heated up immediately.

Me: Mister, are you trying to flirt with me? If you are then let me tell you, it isn’t working.
My cheeks were flushed the whole time I sent that message.
Urggh Sky! Get a hold of yourself!
Him: I can bet you’re blushing as red as your name right now…
OMG. I couldn’t help but blush even harder but I couldn’t let him know that. A stranger made me blush! Before hitting reply, I checked my watch.
Holy macaronis! It was almost time for a very important party I HAD to attend. I better start getting ready to go.
Me: Well, I’m not. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have got work to do.
Him: Not so soon babe, where do you have to go?
Me: Why do you care?
Him: Nothing, just inquiring.
As I was getting ready, I couldn’t stop my fingers from running over to my phone every time I heard the message tone.
Me: You don’t need to
Him: I do, so where are you off to Scarlett?
Me: You aren’t going to stop unless I tell you, right?
Him: Yup! So tell me unless you want me to track you down.
Me: I need to go to my friend’s place for a party.
Him: A party? You don’t seem like a party girl. You have a date?
What the?
Me: Why do you need to know? I’m not telling you anything more. I need to go.
Him: I knew it! You don’t have a date.
Urgh!
Me: Well, guess what, I do have a date.
I checked myself in the mirror and ran out the door to my car. I put the key in ignition and started driving to my destination as I anxiously waited for his reply.
Him: Who? I bet he’s someone with braces and glasses.
I smirked as I replied.
Me: Nope! Now can you please stop texting so I can drive in peace.
Him: So you drive too? How many cars have you knocked down so far?
I grimaced.
Me: Shut up. I’m not replying anymore.
Him: You just did. You can’t resist me ;)
I smiled at the text and I pulled the car to a stop.
Me: Finally I reached. I can drive and text someone at the same time. I’m great.
Him: Don’t skip the point. You know you can’t resist me.
I sighed. Why did he have to be right? But I wasn’t going to let him know he was.
Me: Shut up, will you?
Him: Girl, it’s been only sometime since we started talking and you already can’t resist me.
I smiled smugly at that text. This guy was fun.
I heard some steps from the distance and looked up. Guess who I found, my best friend stomping towards me and oh em gee…
She looked angry… extremely angry. In fact, I’m sure if I had spy glasses or something I would probably be able to see fumes coming out of her ears.
Was I THAT late? I checked my watch to be sure, Yes, I guess I was.
It was because of him! I was texting this stupid guy whom I don’t even know!
But admit it, it was fun.
Whatever.
Me: Oh God! Sam’s here. She’s gonna kill me now, all because of you! I’m gonna kill YOU if she says anything to me for being late!
Damn! I am a burnt chicken today.
