C46 forty six

I didn't feel like poking the spaghetti with the fork that Mawi brought earlier. She said she was too lazy to cook breakfast so she just bought it.

"Oh! You really need to do some jogging, even just a little! So your body will be healthy and strong. Not just waking up and eating right away, or just lying in bed when there's no class," Mawi lectured me.

She gestured at my entire self as if I were the unhealthiest person alive. I knew she was just worried about me because all I did was laziness to the point that it's not healthy for my body anymore.

She lightly wiped the sweat off her forehead, whole face, and arms using a white face towel. She was only wearing a sports bra and black leggings, with Nike rubber shoes. It's obvious that she takes very good care of her body.

"Flat tummy and I still have my curves," I defended.

I took a bite because I was really tempted. Good thing it's delicious because if not, I wouldn't bother with this food.

She chuckled. "Exercising isn't just about flattening your tummy."

She approached me and reached for the glass to take a drink of water. So I looked up at her, she wasn't sweating as much as earlier when she was practically drenched. I could still smell her nice perfume reaching my nose.

She shrugged. "Well, Your body, your rules," she said as she poured water into the glass before taking another sip.

I just rolled my eyes.

She grinned. "Where's Angel?"

I shrugged and focused on my food.

"Weren't you jogging together? Why are you asking me?" I replied sarcastically.

She sat on the chair across from me.

"Yeah, but we split up because she said I should keep jogging since she had someone to talk to. I thought she'd be back by now," she explained, shaking her head.

I licked my lips with my tongue and took a sip of water before looking up at her.

"For sure she saw some handsome guy and went to flirt," I said disinterestedly.

Because that's Angel, proven and tested.

"Oh, yeah, I saw her approaching that handsome fair-skinned guy. I thought she knew him," she said, laughing.

I stood up to put my dishes in the sink.

"In a few days or hours, she'll say she was ghosted or she ghosted someone," I said, shaking my head.

She laughed. "Bold move."

I just shrugged and started washing my dishes.

"I'm going upstairs to change," she said, excusing herself.

I nodded. "Okay," then wiped my hands.

She immediately walked upstairs.

I just slumped onto the sofa and looked up at the white ceiling.

Last night after Cyrus finished my school work, he said he had to leave because he might stay out too late if he went home now. He even insisted on sleeping next to me, but I refused.

He said he'll come back later since it's Saturday and I don't have class. It's a good thing that Mawi and Angel have their day off today too, so I won't get too bored.

Cyrus will come back later to explain his PowerPoint presentation to me, and since I have no idea about what he put in there, I agreed.

He also said we'll stargaze again and admire the beauty of the stars and the moon in the sky.

I couldn't wait for tonight to come, even though it's still morning.

I distracted myself by staring at the ceiling and various things in the apartment. It's really nice being with Mawi and Angel, I'm so lucky. They're so clean, I don't even know if they're allergic to dust because I don't see any due to their cleanliness.

As a complete busybody, I wanted to ask her if Mark, her ex, is still bothering her. But it would be awkward if I asked, and she might give an answer that I'm not expecting. So I'll just shut up for now and make some guesses about what's going on. Cause why not, right?

"Yoreh!" I heard Mawi shout.

I looked towards the door where she came out.

I raised an eyebrow at her while seated in a cross-legged position with crossed arms.

"What?" I said irritably.

I could hear her deep sighs one after another. I even bit my lip from the anticipation.

"Hey," I said again.

She looked up.

[Babe, What's your order?] I heard a cold voice.

I rolled my eyes. So she wants to make me jealous?

"So? You just want to make me jealous? F.Y.I Cyrus is coming over later and someone's calling me Baby," I said with a smug smile.

I heard her sigh as if she didn't like what I said.

[He's here,] was her simple reply.

I furrowed my brow.

"So?" I asked curiously.

So what? It's not like Cyrus can just stay holed up in the house.

She ended the call on me.

Like, not even a friend!

I was about to put my phone back on the study table when it immediately rang again.
