Chapter 89
1010words
Especially with people like Noelle and Josiah's mother lurking around waiting to catch me at a time like this.
So I went against the idea.
When the movie finished it was around ten in the night and I knew that if I went to sleep at that time sleep was not going to be anywhere near me so i took my phone and called Amala who i did not expect to pick the call since she would probably be busy with Jonathan but she proved me otherwise.
"You better be having a good reason to cockblock me" Jonathan said and I heard Amala giggle on the other end then heard a couple of shuffling then Amala's voice was heard.
"Dont litsen to him. Talk to me" she said moving away from wherever she was with Jonathan since I could hear her footsteps.
When she told me that she was in a safe spot to talk I told her everything.
From when I saw my aunt in my father's office until the time my mother challenged me for a fight.
When she heard that she snickered and said that she should have expected such a thing from my mother.
She then asked me the last time I had done some training and to be honest I did not remember.
"Let me guess your mom kicked your ass multiple and countless times?" She asked at the other end and i couldn't help it but chuckle.
That she did but then again who was I to go down without a fight.
That woman hit my limbs without mercy and when Amala reminded me how my mother kicked my ass I remembered my bandaged ribs and cursed numerously when I softly poked them to see if the pain had subsided.
Wrong idea because pain surfaced allover my abdomen making me hiss.
"How did you guys end it?" She asked at the other end and I told her that my mother gave me a kick in the face and after that nothing else mattered but my wellbeing.
Basically I blacked out.
I did not even know how Josiah did not notice the bruise on my face.
"So you went down that lightly?" Amala asked me laughing at her own joke and I protested because I actually did not.
I kept up a good fight and it lasted fifteen minutes until my mother decided to end it.
Let's just say we were both nursing some injuries that we were regretting.
I just wish that I went home instead of accepting to challenge my mother.
"Well that's actually pretty good." Amala said at the other end of the call and I scoffed.
I was just grateful that the pain in my jawline had gone down or else I did not know how I would have faked being okay to Josiah.
Twenty minutes later she told me to go try and get some sleep but how could I when I couldn't even lay down properly without feeling pain.
After we cut our call Josiah came back to the living room where I was binge watching series and sat right next to me.
"I cant sleep" he said then planted a kiss on my neck.
I hummed in response.
I knew the information I unloaded on him a few hours ago was alot to take in so I did not blame him for not getting sleep it was normal.
It could happen.
I went back to watching the series and when I felt him bring his hand to my waist I reacted out of instinct and jumped away from him making him give me a questioning look.
He looked hurt.
"What is wrong?" He asked looking at me and I sighed.
How was I going to explain to him that I accepted a challenge to beat the hell out of my mother.
"Nothing why?" I asked acting as if I did not just jump a metre away from him a few seconds ago.
"Come here then if its nothing" he said looking at me and I looked back at him not moving.
Not today.
I had a feeling that he wanted to cuddle or just lay his head on my stomach but then he couldn't.
It was just too painful today.
"No" I said sternly then stood up to leave and the mistake I did was passing infront of him because he stood up right when I was in front of him and gripped my sides making me yell in pain.
When he heard my scream he immediately released me as if he had touched hot iron then looked at me who was panting with concern.
I couldn't stand properly anymore so I bent my hands supported by my knees and focused on not shading any tears.
Yeah so much for being secretive.
"Babe?" He called softly and I rose my hand signaling him to stop.
"Dont" I said then tried to walk back to my room.
Who was going to help me climb those stairs since my pride got the best the of me.
That was the question I wondered as I pushed away Lucas who came to my side to help me go to my room.
'I said I dont want help!' That was how I exclaimed to him who then froze and tried to oppose me.
I cut him mid sentence again and he stopped trying completely.
What an asshole.
However he did follow closely behind me probably to make sure that I did not pass out on the stairs and break my neck.
"Why wont you tell me what is wrong it is obvious that you are hurt" he stated as he made sure I was covered and comfortable.
I did not answer him instead I tried moving away from him which resulted to pain shooting down my torso.
"Just leave me alone" I answered rudely to him and he clamped his mouth shut.
