Chapter 6
It was a silent and infuriating drive. Evelyn Thompson and the driver both occupied the front sit while I sat alone at the back.
Tomorrow was I and my boyfriend’s anniversary and the thought of how tomorrow was going to be gave me joy amidst my crappy job.
That witch Mrs Tobias who called herself my boss was making me go on a drive with this stupid bitch just for a fucking errand?
How long was I going to tolerate that job and my boss? If not for the promotion at hand, I would have quit my job.
Fucking hell!
Did my boss actually think this drive was enough to settle the differences I had with nerdy Evelyn?
I felt like cussing and cussing because I was so freaking mad!All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
But I didn’t like keeping my emotions bottled up.
I cleared my throat in a bid to break the uncomfortable silence.
“I’m know Mrs Tobias sent us on this foolish errand for us to make peace. So let me make it clear to you Evelyn Thompson, there is no such thing as peace between us. I’m not making some thing as mawkish as peace with you” I said to Evelyn, icily.
“We were doing fine before you spoke ” she drawled
Somehow, I felt prickled by her bored tone of voice. Like she was dismissing me. I always wanted to feel good about myself when I was bickering with her, but I didn’t feel good now.
“I wanted to make it clear. I didn’t want you deluding yourself” I fired
“Thanks very much for making it clear, Elizabeth. It obviously wasn’t clear before” she said with sarcasm
That bitch! How dare she use fucking sarcasm on me? And why in hell did it suit her so much? It felt like her reply was designed to burn me.
“You’ve always been so arrogant, Evelyn Thompson. Always on your fucking high horse” I bit out
She scoffed. “why don’t you bring me down from my high horse! Blonde bimbo!”
I gasped. A little too dramatic.
“Did you just call me a bimbo?”
I asked, totally outraged. Evelyn didn’t answer, which annoyed me the more
“Ladies, please keep it down. I need concentration while driving” the driver said to the both of us but I didn’t care. I was going to give that bitch a fierce comeback now.
“You just wait!” I said to her. “My boyfriend’s going to beat you to a pulp, the next time we meet”
“Are you talking about the gorilla?” She asked, in a mocking tone
“You have no right whatsoever, to call my boyfriend a gorilla” I snapped
She giggled. “You know, I’ve been meaning to ask you this, Elizabeth, how’s your sex life?”
She broke into a giggle again and it angered me.
I wondered how she managed to laugh when I was burning in fury. I wanted to make her burn in fury too.
“What’s with your creepy question? Are you jealous because you don’t have a sex life?”
“On the contrary” she said as she faced front. She never turned back through out our bickering and that too, angered me. “I’m just wandering how you guys fuck. You know, with that huge size, your boyfriend’s got…”
“That’s none of your freaking business, nerdy Evelyn Thompson. Why don’t you focus on getting a boyfriend first, before you inquire about my relationship. Of course I shouldn’t even tell you to get a boyfriend because I know it’ll be difficult for you to get one” I fired at her. I had finally attacked her where it hurts.
“What makes you think so?” She asked
“Because no man would like to date a nerd. You’re a nerd Evelyn, with a drab fashion sense. I’d be blind first before I date you ” I said
“That’s not true. I–I have an active love… life ” she said uneasily
It was my turn to laugh. Even if the situation wasn’t that funny, I forced out a scornful laughter because I knew it would hurt Evelyn Thompson’s ass the more.
“What do you even know about me, Elizabeth. You know nothing and yet you always run your slutty mouth”
I leaned over, talking near her.
“I know that you can’t ever snag a man, let alone a boyfriend”
“That’s not true!”
“Okay, how about we make a bet. I give you two weeks to show me your boyfriend and if you fail to do that, I’ll spread a nasty rumour about you at work. What do you say?” I clicked my tongue, I loved throwing challenges. Especially easy ones, like this one.
“Deal. And if I win the bet?” She asked
“I’ll be your slave for a week” I replied
“It’s agreed on, Elizabeth. Watch how I shame you by getting a boyfriend who’s not way bigger than me and who I wouldn’t struggle to have sex with or who I wouldn’t call a gorilla because of his size or —”
“Are you talking about my boyfriend now?” I fumed
“You’d be a fool, not to know that” she answered
“Watch it, Evelyn Thompson! I won’t spare you if you talk ill about Derek ”
“Oh!” She closed her mouth “his name is Derek? I didn’t know that because we all thought his name was Gorilla”
This bitch was getting on my nerves again. Why was the driver taking too long to get there?
“You know, I’ve always wondered. How do you guys fuck? Who stays on top?” She asked mockingly
“Because, he’d probably crush you if he stays on top. Or he’d crush the bed. How many beds have you guys used since you started fucking?”
“Evelyn —”
“Oh, no need to get all riled up. I’m just asking innocent questions?”
“You’re pissing me off, Evelyn. You wouldn’t like the outcome” I ground my teeth
“Okay, here’s another question” she said, totally ignoring my warning
“You know he’s got a big size and all. Is he also huge, down there? You know what I mean. It’ll be a shame for an intelligent woman like you to date a man with a huge size but an empty brain which I know he has, and also a small —”
I couldn’t take it anymore. I warned that bitch.
“Shut it” I yelled as I pulled a handful of her hair. Letting out a shriek too, she turned and clawed at my hair.
We were so immersed in our fight, that we didn’t hear the driver’s shouts.
From the corner of my eye, I watched as our car swerved as it tried to dodge another car, I swiftly let go of Evelyn’s hair and so did she.
I, Evelyn and the driver let out terrified screams as our car brakes lost control and our car crashed into the woods.
