A Game of Love

Chapter 11

MONIQUE

"Oh f**k! There, Baby, faster, faster! I'm----ahhhh!" I sighed. I think Mike just came. At long last. I've been waiting for minutes for him to finish. I was faking my moans the entire time, for God sake! I really didn't want to do this but he's been asking and complaining for quite some time that I wasn't as intimate as I was before. He's always asking if we do have a problem. So for him not to doubt our relationship, I had to make him believe that we both wanted this to happen. Well, it's not the first time, so yeah, it's fine. I'm used to this.

"Wow, that was amazing, Baby." I heard Mike uttered while panting. Yeah sure. Because s*x is the only thing that matters for him. He's lucky that I still need him for my popularity. I need him to help me be the Prom Queen this year. I tried last year but I got robbed because the slut who won slept with one of the professors, so yeah, I won't stoop down to that level. I'll just go with Mike than an old geezer.

I must admit that at first, before the 'kissing' incident (which I've already forgotten), he can make me feel as horny as him so s*x was fun then. But now, I don't know, I just couldn't feel anything anymore. And don't ask me because I didn't know the answer either.

"Yeah." I faked a smile. "So, can we go now? We still need to attend our last class in an hour." I said before I got up and put my uniform on.

He smiled a me seductively.

"Why don't we just stay here, Baby? I don't think our professor will look for us if we don't show up. Or we can call in sick. You're the president of the student body so I think they'll believe you." he said while trying to unbutton my blouse again but I stopped him.

"No. You promised that it's just for a round and then we'll go back in class that's why I agreed." I said while pulling away from his hug.

"No. You agreed because you were so annoyed with the new girl. Aris told me that it was because she was being a b***h with you girls this morning. And then you found out that she's our classmate. I saw you glaring at her the whole morning until our class was done. Then I asked you if you want to hang out here and you said yes while still glaring at her. Truth is, you were kind of angry when we were doing it and it made me more horny. I like it when you're being aggressive." I mentally rolled my eyes when I saw him winked. Whatever. I wasn't actually looking at the new girl nor annoyed with her. I was just not in the mood the whole day. That's all.

"If you don't want to go to class, go ahead, you stay here. I'll see you tomorrow. Bye." I said before walking out. I didn't even looked at him when I said that.

"Oh I love that song! I always listen to that whenever I'm trying to memorize something. I try to sing the lessons that I need to memorize using that song's melody. And it really works! But I'm not really a good singer so I just do it whenever I'm alone." my brow creased when I heard that voice. Are they f*****g serious? Ever since this morning, they've been together, and now it's what, 3pm and they're still talking to each other. Give me a f*****g break! They just met this morning and now they're inseparable?

Though I wasn't sure why am I getting annoyed right now. They're just like the other girls I know who likes to talk to each other, so why am I being affected? C'mon Monique, just don't mind them. Pretend that you don't hear them.

"Oh wow! Can you sing for me, pretty pretty please? I'm sure that you got a nice singing voice. You're just trying to make me believe that you can't sing where in fact, you can be an American Idol finalist!" I tried to hide my smile when I heard Anika laugh. There's something about her voice and her laugh than can make me feel relaxed. (Yes I'm talking about her voice and not her moans, you perv!). I could listen to her voice forever. But she'll never know it. No one needs to know that.

"You're so funny, Charlie! But no, I'm really telling the truth. You might even compare my voice to a frog's ribbit! I swear, I'm not kidding. I really wish I could sing well but my voice isn't as gifted as the Katy's or Gaga's." I heard Anika said while still laughing.

I sighed. I wish I could also make her laugh like that. But I know that I can't. I can just cause her pain so it's best for us to avoid each other.

I couldn't deny that we have a special connection. I felt it. I've kissed her three times and they were really special. She is really special. If only she's not a girl nor a loser, I would've tried to explore that connection that we have or should I say, had. PAST TENSE.

"No! I don't believe you! Just let me hear you sing and let me be the judge! Please Anikaaa, please?" I wasn't looking at them but I'm imagining the new girl kneeling and begging just to hear Anika's singing voice.

"Hmmm. You sure? But you can't laugh, okay?"

"Noooooo! Noooo Charlie, don't let her sing! Oh my God, no!"

"Oh f**k! I need my earphones!"

"We still have fifteen minutes so I'll just go to the restroom, I need to pee." I shook my head when I heard what her friends said when Anika said that. Some friends they are. Is her voice that awful?

I got my answer when she started singing.

"So don’t call me baby

Unless you mean it

Don’t tell me you need me

If you don’t believe it

So let me know the truth

Before I dive right into you"

The room got quiet and I almost choked at my saliva when I heard her voice. OH MY GOD! You can't really have it all, right? It's a good thing that she's smart and beautiful. But it's cute though. I can still listen to her voice everyday, I think. Well, if given a chance.

After a minute of silence after she finished singing, all our classmates burst out laughing!

"Oh My Gosh Anika, YOU are my American Idol!" I tried not to laugh but that was really funny.

"Nice poem, Anika!"

"Anika, why are you crying? Tell me who did it, I'll let that person pay!" HAHA! LOL!

And before anyone saw me laughing, I stood up and went to the restroom. How can Anika be that cute?

Even while inside the cubicle, I was still smiling because of what happened in the classroom.

My smile automatically turned into frown when I saw the person outside my cubicle. I just ignored her when I walked past her.

"I saw you laughing a while ago. Did you enjoy Anika's voice?" I heard her ask so I looked at her.

"What are you talking about? And who gave you the permission to talk to me?" I tried to sound a little bitchy so she'll just drop the topic. No way that I will admit that I enjoyed listening to them a while ago. Not when Anika is involved.

"First stage: In denial. I see. So that explains the glaring whole day." she said while nodding as if she's talking to herself.

"Sorry but I don't have time for this." I said.

I just walked towards the door. I don't want to hear whatever she was about to say.

"You like her. YOU LIKE ANIKA." Oh s**t! I froze when I heard what she just said. How did she--no, I don't like her.

"Are you crazy? We're both girls for god sake! And one more thing, I have a boyfriend, so please, stop with that nonsense!" I said while checking if there are other people in the restroom. I was relieved when I saw that it's just the two of us here.

"So? I know some girls who like girls." she said proudly.

I laughed while shaking my head.

"New girl, don't get your hopes up. Stop trying to make me laugh. I am not like those girls that you know. I'm straight! I'm sorry but I'm really not in the mood for this, so if you'll excuse me, my boyfriend WHOM I LOVE is waiting for me in the classroom. Goodbye." I tried to sound casual but was really uneasy because of what she said.

YOU LIKE ANIKA.

I shook my head.

No. I don't like her, I promise.

I really don't, I swear. Or do I?

No no no no no!

I hate her. I hate her for making me feel this way.

I HATE YOU ANIKA LOPEZ, I HATE YOU!
