Chapter 12 You do drugs
Sharon was so please with her
achievement, she wanted it over
and over again with Paul , but how
on earth is she going to have that
kind of relationship with him, seeing
he love someone else? She made
up her mind to visit again.
"Heyy.. Sharon I heard you are
the one who brought us back and
our cars too, thanks for your help".
"No problem, am glad you
are safe, how are you doing?"
"Am doing fine thanks for asking"
Paul said.
"Why thanks for asking, I always
ask after you, you are the one
who is pushing me away."
"But am not pushing you away,
you are the one misunderstanding
me". Paul said.
"Misunderstanding you? That you
love that girl?"
"Which girl are you talking about?"
Paul ask trying to defend himself.
"The one we met at the meat stand".
"Ohh.. Christy, she is just my
friend."
"Hmmm, that doesn’t look like
just a friend to me, you are in love
with her"
Paul suddenly sat upright when
he heard the word "love" from Sharon,
he felt like telling her how he feels
about Christy but he didn’t know
how Sharon will react so he kept
quiet.
"Am not, she is just my friend."
"Ok, if you say so, let’s talk about
us."
"Us? What is there to talk about?" Paul ask confuse.
“Don’t you feel anything for me?”
“You.. no.. why?, fine you are
my friend too, at least we are
trying to know each other, but not
like I don’t fancy you, you are very
beautiful but am not thinking
towards that direction," he said
thinking that he was making sense
but to Sharon he is an idiot.
"Is ok if you don’t feel anything
for me, is not like I fancy you that
much" she said and they both
laugh.
"Where you in that party"? Paul
suddenly ask Sharon and her heart
jump to her throat.
" Yes, why do you ask?."
"I was wondering if by any chance
you saw me going to the restroom."
"No, what happen?"
"Something strange happen to
me, but I can’t remember anything,
and I don’t want to ask my friends,
they will just make fun of me."
"So you didn’t remember
anything? Where you that drunk?"
"That is the point, I have never
been that high before, I know the
drinks I took, and I know too well
that what I took that day was not
just drink, I felt something strange."
"Strange like how?" Sharon keep
making sure that Paul didn’t
remember what she has done
to him.
"I felt like, like making love and at
the same time feels weak too. It
was a mix feeling, I have never felt something like that before".
"Maybe is nothing" Sharon said
trying to change the topic.
"So how is your day going?"
"Slow, no fun, am even getting
tired of this Christmas holidays,
I just want to go back to school."
Paul said.
"You are the first person am
hearing that from, everybody wants
to go on holidays, and if you ask
me I think you are having fun with
your guys, lots of fun."
Sharon didn’t know that to Paul,
if there is no Christy there is no
fun, he wanted to be with her
madly.
"Yea, you are right, but something
seem to be off, anyways thanks
for been here, at least am not
feeling much lonely today."
"Ok so can we go out?, like just
the two of us?" Sharon ask.
"Ok, I will love to", they set out and
arrived in a place only Sharon knowns.
"What is this place?." Paul ask.
Paul followed her inside, everyone
was kind of looking strange to
Paul but what can he do? He is
already there.
"Come let’s go" Sharon motion
for Paul to keep going.
"Stay here I will come back", she
walk away while Paul look on.
"What is she doing in this kind
of place? I thought she was decent,
I don’t think is decent people that
come to this kind of place,
everyone there looks kind of odd,
smoking all kinds of substance
Paul has never seen before.
He turned and saw Sharon
talking with one huge guy, and
his heart sink within him.
"I need to get the hell out of here"
then he felt a hand on his shoulder.
Before he could turn to say
something Sharon is already there.
"Let’s go" she said looking at the
huge guy who just took his hands
off Paul.
"What is this place?" Paul ask
Sharon.
"Just keep moving" Sharon said
and hurried Paul out of there into
their car.
"Move this car" Sharon ordered.
"Am not moving the car until you
tell me why you brought me here."
"Fine, I need something from the
guy inside ok, so just drive."
"No, get out of my car" Paul said
"am not going any further with you."
"You can’t leave me here, at least
take me to where I will find a taxi
then you can drop me there."
"Paul start the car and drove off,
got to the major road.
"Get out."
"What is wrong with you?, I just
went there to take something
that is all."
Paul began to understand that
Sharon do drugs.
"Did your mother know that you
do drugs?" Paul ask.
Sharon just looked at him and
shake her head.
"How long have you been into it?"
"I don’t know; look, just forget that
you saw me and let’s move on ok."
"No, I don’t want you visiting me
again, just stay away from me…...
Before Paul finish what he was
saying Sharon grab Paul and
kiss him.
Paul pulled her away.
"What in hell are you doing?
I said stay away from me and you
are doing this; what for?"
"I love you" Sharon said, " and I
want you to love me too, am not
doing this to hurt you, am doing it
because I can’t stay away from you."
"Ok, now what is she talking about?
I don’t understand you, what are
you saying now?"
"Am talking about the drugs, is not
to hurt you."
"Let me get this straight, you want
to drug me?"
"No..no..no.. that is not what I want
to do."
"So what do you mean?"
"I thought you do drugs, that is
why I got it for both of us, since you
say you are not feeling the
Christmas."
"What? I..i..i.. can’t believe this, I
have been with guys that are rough
but you! You are something else.
i can’t believe this. you thought I
do drugs? Now listen to me, Paul
said. I DON’T DO DRUGS. Do you
understand?" He yell at Sharon.
"Yes, I understand."
"Good, now am only going to drop
you off at your house, then that
will be it, don’t come close to me
again or I will tell your mother."
"No..no..no.. please don’t tell my
mother."
"So do you agree to stay away
from me?"
"Yes, I will but you can still find a
place in your heart to forgive me."
"There is nothing to forgive, you
are bad influence and I don’t want
to do drugs with you."
"But what if you help me stop
drugs?" Sharon ask making her
face like a baby who is trying
to cry.
Paul thought for a second,
"Well it will be good if I can help
you stop drugs but for now, I need
to think about helping you, if you
really want to stop doing drugs you
will, is a thing of the mind."
"I know but I can only do that if
you assured me that you will not stay
away from me, I promise to stop."
Sharon continue pestering Paul.
"Ok..ok.. I promise to let you visit
but, there will be no drugs anytime
we are together".
"Yes.. I promise you no drugs she
said happily and hug Paul.
"What? Go away, take your hands
off me" Paul pull himself away
from her hug.
But Sharon didn’t care as long as
she will still visit him again.
He drove her to her house and
went home thinking about the
whole thing.
"Drugs? Sharon doing drugs and
still looks innocent, her mom
thinking that she has a good
daughter? Damn..
"Paul anything the matter? His
mom ask seeing how concentrating
He was.
"No mom, am fine"
"How are you enjoying your
holidays?" the mom ask.
"Very well mom, Paul said but I
want to go and have some rest,
where is dad.?
"He went to his tennis court."
"Really, I think I will have to go
with him tomorrow".
"Then what about me? are you
not coming to shop with me, am
taking you to a very expensive
shopping center."
"I know mom, but dad said
expensive shopping centers are
women's thing, no offense though
but I will try and make out time to
go shopping with you."
"So are you telling me that you
like your father more than me?"
"No..no..no.. mom you know that
to me, you are the best mom in the
whole wide world."
"Really!!!" she said so happily.
"Yes mom" he said and hug his
mother.
