Yours, Never Again

Victor’s pov

I woke up on the wrong side of the bed. It was like I slept the wrong way, my neck hurts. That’s not even my fault, blame the college dorm for not having a bed that can take my height. Ah my head hurts, that is probably the effect of the darn alcoholic wine I took.

Who is the damned person knocking? Can’t be my roommate.”Come in.” I groaned. The person opened the door with a loud bang.

“Yo, what’s up?” The person turned out to be my idiot best friend David. He has always been my best friend. Our parents are best friends, their history is another fairytale. I don’t believe in fairytales. We have different personalities and we still get along well.

David is loud, he socializes and he even owns the biggest college party while I on the other hand I’m quite reserved. I’m majoring in Business Management same as David.

“Can you not disturb my peace in the mornings?” I said as I stood up from my bed.

“Did you drink last night? You wore your three-piece Armani suit to bed.” He said as he scanned through my body.

“I had wine with my mom last night. She said something about us starting our internship soon.” I groaned as I stretched my arms and did my usual morning squats.

“I thought we were supposed to start after graduation,” He picked up the leftover bag of chips I left on my reading table and started munching. Cow!Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“I don’t know what’s going on but you should go see your mom,” I said then I began to strip my clothes off me.

“Dude, are you trying to give me a strip show? You’re bigger than me already. ” He asked using his hand to cover his eyes, this playful idiot.

“I was always bigger than you, bastard ” I replied boastfully.”Anyway your mom called me last night. She’s sending Mr. Garry to bring you to the company’s gala on Friday night if you have no engagement.”

“She didn’t mention anything about the gala to me. What did you tell her?”

“I told her if you are not coming to my party, I will be sure to inform her.”

“Must I come to your party?” I rolled my eyes at him.

“C’mon V, when was the last time you got laid? Prom night? Just come tonight, find some nice girl and have fun.”

“I’m coming because I want to avoid the gala. I don’t want no girl trouble.” I grumbled.

“You should move in with me back.” He pleaded.

“I can’t stand the parties, you host man. You know the smell of alcohol irks me.”

“The party on Friday is going to be the last I’m hosting in college. I need to focus on my life for my mom’s sake.” He said seriously. This is a surprise, my guy has never talked about focusing.

I patted his back” Well said man. I might consider moving in.” Just then my alarm rang.

“Fuck, we have a class in ten mins.” I ran hurriedly to the bathroom and did my bathing ritual swiftly. I ran back to my room to get dressed as David was packing the stuff I would need into my backpack. We left for the class, fortunately for us, the professor that was taking the class came right after we settled down in class.

“Guess what guys?” I said to my best friends Tory and Emmanuel as we walked out of our lecture theatre. Tory is my childhood friend, we went to the same kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, and high school. I met Emmanuel on my first day in college. The three of us are majoring in English. I’m a content writer, Tory is a novel writer and Emmanuel owns a cafe near the school.

“There you go again, El.” They grumbled

“What is it this time? Just tell us” Tory said as she raised her phone to take a selfie.

“Why is she always doing that?” Emmanuel asked me.

“FYI, I am taking selfies every day till our graduation. These things are for good memories. ” She replied him.

“She told us before Emmanuel, blockhead.” I smacked the back of his head.

He yelled and rubbed the back of his head. “Ouch woman, easy with the smack. You need to quit the gym. What were you saying about guessing?” He switched the topic swiftly when he saw the look on my face.

“I moved out last night.” I blurted out.

“What!” Tory yelled, which caused people to look in our direction.

“Keep it down Tory and you, Mr keys allowed you to move out?” Emmanuel asked curiously.

“Yes, Rose did the usuals last night. I am tired of her drama already. I don’t want to bother my old man, he’s happy with her so I just asked him to let me move out.”

“I know he didn’t agree right away. What excuse did you give him? Daddy’s little girl.” Tory giggled making me and Emmanuel laugh. Her giggles are so funny.

“I told him I wanted to be independent already. I showed him what I earned from content writing. Man was shocked.” We were by Emmanuel’s car already. I opened the door to the back seat, my usual spot in his flawless Audi. Rich boy.

We all entered the car. “Not everyone expects their 21-year-old daughter to have thousands of bucks. How about a little housewarming party? You know to celebrate your independence.” Emmanuel said as he wiggled his eyebrows at me then ignited his car and started moving.

“Sure,” I said laughing.

“Shit I forgot my editor asked me to come over to sign some contract,” Tory muttered quietly.

“You should take her there after you drop me off at home. I need to do some work at home.” I said to Emmanuel.

“Yes ma’am.” He replied jokingly.

“Why can’t we just go to my editor’s place together and go back to your place after?” Tory suggested.

“Nah, it’s fine. I need to complete the article I’m writing. My editor wants it tomorrow morning. You can just lessen my burden by getting some food on your way home.” I smiled to show them I was fine. I told them my address then Tory inputted it into the GPS.
