One Wrong Turn

Episode 12

i don’t know, I’m only allowed to go to church and school, i can’t leave the house”

There was a look of disappointment on Ehis’s face, he seemed a little frustrated. Deep down in my own heart, I’d love to hang out with
him. But there was nothing i could do about it.
My parents were everywhere.

“what if i pick you up from school?”

I greeted the question with a look of confusion on my face,

“how? ” i asked. Still very confused.

“i ll come and pick you with my friend’s car during break, i ll bring you back quickly. No one will notice you were gone. Ruth will tell you how to leave the school.

My mind went blank for sometime. i know Ruth and Hannah usually sneaked out of the school during breaks, but i had never followed them. I had no reason to. I still wondered how they were able to leave and return unnoticed.

I have always participated in the goodies they bring back from where ever they go.

I was really scared, but i had to accept. It was worth the risk, so i thought.

I unlocked the door, and attempted to leave, Ehis held me back, and pulled me closer to himself.

There was that look on his face again, and the pink lips. My heartbeat raced again. My head wanted to go, but my heart had a different plan.

I was still consumed in my thoughts when I felt his lips on mine. It was wet, slow and
passionate like the first. I felt the flutter in my stomach again.

He began to move his hands towards my b0s0ms. I was scared and uncomfortable. It took every muscle in my body to hold his hand, and break the kiss.

“Not today please, when I see you on Monday” i said as I tried to leave.

“We ll continue from here, Promise?”

“yes”

“okay” he said, licking his lips in a seductive manner. I never knew what that meant. I had no idea what i had just promised.

As i walked towards the hall, me eye ball kept dancing from side to side, incase someone had spotted me coming out of the car.

As i approached my parents seat, my heart began to beat faster. I felt like a thief, i just hoped the guilt i felt in my heart hasn’t registered on my gave. I stole a quick glance at my mum’s face. She was still holding on to the note.

“when did Ruth give you this?” She asked as soon as I sat.

“last week.”

My mum gave me a long suspicious look, and turned her attention to the alter.

I was really nervous, but all i could think about was meeting Ehis on Monday. I had made him a promise, even if i barely understood the nature of the promise.
