City Lounge: London (Book Seven, Chapter Fourteen: Tamika and Paul)

Chapter Fourteen: Tamika and Paul:

So there I am. I’m standing in what can be called an upper-class neighbourhood in the snow about to go into a nice-looking house with a group of my mates. I don’t know how what’s his face managed to get into a place like this. I couldn’t help but think that there was something shady going on. By the time I tried to think about what was going on, Kris had already rang the doorbell. I looked up in time to see the door opening. A bloke in a red and green jumper looked at all of us.

Chapter Thirteen: Tamika II:

-Tamika-

I have known Paul for years. We were never an item. He’s not my type. Yet, there is something about him. I still haven’t been able to figure it out. By this point, it doesn’t matter anymore. I was already in. It was nice to see Paul again. I hadn’t expected to see Soph again.

Are they back together? I hope so. I can’t remember why they broke up. He always looked like a hurt puppy when someone brought up Soph.

I wasn’t originally part of his little circle. I met him after university. It was during a Chirstmas, in fact. Now, I don’t remember most of the details but I will do my best.

Chapter Twelve: Back in the Living Room:

-Paul-

So there we were. The four of us sat in the living room in silence. It was like we were daring each other to say a word. Soph held my hand as she sat next to me. Jay and Tamika were staring at us. When did this become uncomfortable? I pressed my lips together.

Well…

“You done?” Jay asked. Soph and I didn’t answer. She wouldn’t even look at him. The evening traffic from outside killed the silence. How long were they going to be staying here? Jay looked relieved to see us come out of my room.

Chapter Eleven: Baby Blue:

-Sophie-

“They’re still out there, aren’t they?” I asked.

“Yeah,” he said.

“Oh.”

“Do you want me to tell them to leave?”

I shrugged my shoulders. He looked down at me, eyebrow raised.

“No?”

“I don’t know.”

“Heh.”

“We should do something about them though.”

“Agreed.”

“So what should we do with them?”

“I don’t know.”

“You just don’t want me to get up, do you?”

“Nope.” I turned my head away as I tried not to laugh. He patted me on the head. I don’t think we’ve ever done something like this before. Honestly, it’s kind of exciting. I almost want to see what happens next.

City Lounge: London (Book Seven, Chapter Ten: She’s so Sexy)

Chapter Ten: She’s so Sexy:

-Paul-

My eyes trailed down Sophie’s body. She only had on her knickers. My willy was standing up proud in my boxers. Soph pushed her hair out of her face as she leaned down to kiss me. I kissed her back. My hand wrapped around her waist. We were going to have to make this quick. No one has tried to walk into my room yet. I wasn’t holding my breath.

“What do you want me to do you?” Soph asked. I stared up at her with a red face and big eyes.

“Please take me!” I shouted. She gently put her finger to my lips.

Chapter Nine: Hiding Away in My Room:

-Paul-

Soph and I ended up in my room. I probably should back up some. I got from the table.

“I’m going back to my room,” I said. I turned and walked down the hall. I don’t know why I said that. I just had to get out of there. It was too much. You wouldn’t know. You weren’t there.

To my surprise, I wasn’t alone in that thought.

I hadn’t even gone into my room when someone grabbed me from behind. I paused and looked down. Soph was looking up at me.

“Soph?” I asked.

City Lounge: London (Book Seven, Chapter Eight: Jay and Tamika)

Chapter Eight: Jay and Tamika:

-Paul-

Jay and Tamika are an odd combination. I don’t know what I am going to exact when they come together Sometimes, it works out and other times they should never be together. I took a breath and opened the door.

“Yo!” Jay said, waving.

“Why did you give Tamika my number?” I asked. Jay looked confused.

“She’s here?” he asked.

“Yes,” I said. “She showed up here this morning.” He blinked for a second.

“Dude!” he said. Jay pushed by me. I wrinkled my nose.

“Come right on in, why don’t you?” I said under my breath. I went back into my flat and closed the door behind me.

City Lounge: London (Book Seven, Chapter Seven: Sophie and Tamika)

Chapter Seven: Sophie and Tamika:

-Sophie-

“Tamika, what are you doing here?” I asked. Tamika looked me up and down.

“Soph?” she asked. “What are you doing here?” We stared at each other for a long moment.

“Where’s Paul?” I asked.

“Asleep,” he said. “He went back to bed.” I looked so confused.

“He just let you in and went back to bed?” I asked.

“Yeah,” Tamika said.

“Oh,” I said. Somehow, I’m not surprised.

“You want to come in?” she asked. “It’s cold out there.” I know I should come back later when Paul is awake and alone.

“Sure,” I said with a shrug. She moved from the door and I walked inside.

City Lounge: London (Book Seven, Chapter Six: How I Met Tamika)

Chapter Six: How I Met Tamika:

I met Tamika about eight years ago. I think it might have been longer than that. I remember the day. We were at a music festival. I don’t remember off of the top of my head who was playing there. I think the Manic Street Preachers were there. Soph and I had just broken up at the time. I wasn’t really looking for another date. I felt so numb. It was my mates’ idea.

I looked down at my beer. Why was I here? They knew I wasn’t the type to go to music festivals. They ditched me as soon as they got out of the car. Cheers, mates!

City Lounge: London (Book Seven, Chapter Five: Tamika)

Chapter Five: Tamika:

-Paul-

I hadn’t expected her to show up today. God! When was the last time I saw Tamika? University? It might have been earlier than that. Anyway, why am I bringing her up? It all started with a phone call.

I woke up to my mobile ringing on my nightstand. Huh? Who the hell was calling me this early in the morning? Jay may be mental, but he wasn’t that mental. Soph has good sense and does not call me that early. Maybe I should let it go to answerphone.

I mumbled to myself as I felt around for my phone.
