Not Only Dogs Can Lick

8) Unexpected help

My day dragged. The summers day heat was unbearable, roasting me slowly, my brain felt too heavy to concentrate, all I wanted to do is day dream about my extravagant night, a page teared right out of a storybook. I wanted to float away in my mind with just me and Antonio, it's like we just blend perfectly together. Like strawberries and cream! Like rum and raisins! Like Jack and the lady from titanic!

I signed deeply stuffing my head into my textbook. I still had to tell Asia I met somebody, I wasn't looking forward to telling her his age, but I knew once she sees how happy I am she will love him. Hell, eventually I'd have to tell my dad as well.

After a good couple of years when I grow a spine.

Ok my dad isn't really scary, but his a stern man. After my mum passed he only had me. His 2 year old little Kim to take care of. His very overprotective but that's understandable, I'l always respect his wishes even though I complain and argue, and throw a fit, and give him silent treatment and. . .You get the point.

I missed my dad, he left so suddenly for urgent work, I never even got to say goodbye. I knew he'd come back bringing gifts for me, but mostly even if he didn't I'd be happy having him back home most of all. The house is so empty without him it's like it's just a house, not a home.

I decided telling Asia today was best, I really didn't want to hide anything from her. It just felt unnatural, she's like a sister to me sometimes we literally think and say the same things it's quite freaky actually but eventually people get used to it, so hiding things from her, is basically impossible.

I lazily lifted my arm and nudged her, she didn't even move or recognise me. I could just tell she was out cold on the desk.

I slumped against her, using her shoulder as a pillow as i zoned in and out of the most boring management lecture. Even the lecturer seemed to be zoned out, she literally just read whatever was on the slides as if in 12 years of schooling we didn't learn how to read.

The piercing bell went of signalling the end of the period, which was also my last period (Thank God) and lunch break.

The lecture hall began emptying quickly, as eager students rushed out the class like their lives depended on it, but Asia was still sound asleep, she didn't even hear the bell.

"Buddy." I nudged her again harder.

"Mmmm." She signed in her sleep.

"It's lunch time. Wake up!" I exclaimed loudly shaking her like a rabid dog with a bone.

"I'm alive!." Her reddish eyes shot open and widened in fright clearly startled.

"Come on, let's go bud." I chuckled at her deer in the headlights look as she looked around the empty class. I hooked my arm with hers and dragged her off to the food court, if there's anything that's going to keep her happy while breaking the news. It's a slice of cheesy hot pizza.

We ordered a extra large triple cheese sweet and sour Chicken pizza. It might seem like a lot, it's stated to feed a crowd of six.

Haha. Once Asia's boyfriend lost his phone and called the number listed 'My Love' and Dominos Pizza answered. Pretty much ruined that date.

We love each other very much but when it boils down to those cheesy goodness slices we willing to claw till the death. In order to solve our dilemma instead of taking individual slices we take divide the pizza in half so nobody cheats and nobody leaves with broken bones.

We sat happily gobbling down our pizza like we never saw food before, only after the pizza was completely devoured and we simply couldn't move, then only we started chatting about our day. I quite hesitantly broke the news to her about me seeing the man I met that day.
