The last buzzer of the day sounded. Lelani looked out of her office window to the outer corridor. The empty hallway suddenly flooded with a school of students, swimming to their lockers to dump the day’s textbooks inside and collect what they need for the night’s homework. They laughed, giggled and shouted as they darted towards the exit doors to make their various routes home. As quickly as the hallway gushed with the blue blazer jackets that was the school’s coloured uniform, within seconds it just as quickly dried up into a barren wasteland. The odd stragglers, not wanting to go home so early made their way to the outside playground to have a bit of fun and exercise. Choosing to unwind with friends rather than get involved with the waiting busy public transport. Lelani scanned the corridor for Lemar. She had let him go to his lessons as normal after he woke up. He had slept until lunch time. She had gone with him to see his previous teachers to cover for him. She told them that she had some heavy equipment that needed rearrangement and as she was unable to do it by herself had enlisted the aid of helpful Lemar. Each teacher who received the excuse erased the mark of absence against his name from the attendance register. Lelani told Lemar that he should report to her immediately at the end of the day. He had been puzzled as to why she hadn’t turned him in to the principal’s office but he would soon find out. Lelani continued to scan the hallway but she didn’t see any sign of him. A sudden knock on her office door drew her attention away from the hallway. Mrs Afia popped her head in.
“Hey you, I’m heading off now. walk you to your car?” Mrs Afia nodded towards the direction of the staff car park.
“No thanks, I’ve got some work to finish before I go home and I want to speak to Lemar.”
“That boy smoking on school grounds is unbelievable. What was he thinking. He’s already been in two fights already this year. He only has a few more weeks to go before summer holidays. Is he trying to get himself excluded?”
Lelani just looked at her friend shaking her head. She didn’t want to say anything more about the issue. Lemar had been getting himself into trouble more recently than usual and she wanted to uncover the reasons for it. If she had divulged the information of him getting high and her confiscating suspected drugs from him he would have most definitely been suspended if not excluded.
“Oh what was that he dropped on the floor when you caught him smoking?” Mrs Afia asked with a suspicious look on her face.
“Oh just some sweets. You know this boy is a young entrepreneur. He buys sweets from the shops and sells them to his friends at a profit.” Lelani shook her head again and rolled her eyes. She didn’t want to lie to her friend but on this occasion she thought it best.
“I’ve caught a few of them of them doing that.” Mrs Afia returned.
A slow hovering movement of a blue blazer crossing her office window caught both their attention. Lemar walked past slowing looking in through the clear glass. His head hung low and his hands were tucked inside his trouser pockets. Mrs Afia raised her eyebrows.
“I’ll leave you to handle your business Mrs Martin.”
“See you tomorrow Mrs Afia.”
Lelani watched as Mrs Afia left the door slightly open and walked past Lemar who greeted her with a slight nod. She patted his shoulder sympathetically and made her way in the same direction the previous school students went en route home.
Lemar entered the open office, his eyes on the floor and closed the door behind him. He walked past Lelani without making any eye contact and slumped down in the same chair that he had passed out on earlier in the day. Lelani walked over and sat on the corner of the dest just in front of him. Lemar kept his gaze on the ground.
“Lemar.”
He didn’t respond.
“Lemarrrrrrr.”
Still no answer.
“Alpha.”
Lemar suddenly raised his eyes to meet hers. A look of surprise on his face.
“Oh come on Lemar everyone calls you Alpha. I know that is your nickname.”
Lemar started to speak but quickly closed his mouth as if already anticipating what was about to happen.
“Ok Lemar. Talk to me. What’s going on with you?”
Lemar blew out a deep breath, so much so that his cheeks expanded. He sat up on his chair and leaned forward looking down at his shoes.
“Miss, let’s not long this out. You’ve reported me. I need to go with you to see the principal, then you’re gonna call my mum telling her I’ve been excluded for smoking and having drugs and……….” Lemar took a deep swallow, clasping his hands together to prevent them from trembling “And assaulting you. Then I’m going to go home and get packed in by my Mum.”
“Get packed in?”
“Yes Miss. Get packed in. Get my head bust and then my dad is going to pack my bags and kick me out on road so I’m gonna to be homeless.”
Lelani leaned forward towards Lemar. She lowered her head and her gaze to attract his attention. He slowly looked up feeling that she was prompting him to look at her.
“Three things Lemar. Firstly I haven’t informed anyone about what has gone on here today. So you’re not going to get excluded, or packed in, or kicked out of your home.”
Lelani reached round to the front of her desk opening up a draw. She withdrew a small black bag and pulled out a packet of cigarettes.
“Secondly smoking kills. It gives you lung cancer and all sorts.” Lelani pointed to the picture of tar infested lungs depicted on the front of the packet. “Quit it. It’s a nasty, nasty habit.” She dropped the packet back into the bag. “As off the assault.” Lelalni stifled a giggle. “you were off somewhere in LaLa land. I am going to forget that you brazenly slapped me across my ass. That is never going to happen again. Understood?”
Lemar nodded in silent acknowledgement.
“Good. Now explain this to me.” Lelani reached back into the black bag and revealed the plastic bag filled with pills.
Lemar covered his face with his hands.
“I swear Miss I don’t even know what happened. I didn’t even take one yet.”
“What do you mean? Of Course you took one you were tripping earlier.”
“That’s what I’m saying Miss. I didn’t swallow any of those pills I took some out of the bag to count them, then I heard like you can smoke instead of swallowing them if you grind them up into a powder so I ground some up.”
Lemar nodded to the bag where the cigarette packet rested. Lelani pulled it out and looked inside where two cigarettes sat next to a small plastic bag filled with blue powder. She closed the packet and placed it inside her handbag. She nodded her head.
“I think you got high from percutaneous exposure.”
“Huh.”
“You got high from touching it.”
“Oh. How can that happen?”
“You can absorb things through your skin. Most people don’t realise how absorbent your skin is. Lemar there are like…. 15 tablets in here.” Lelani raised the bag and counted the pills. “Was you going to take them all.”
“No Miss.” Lemar shook his head. “I was going to sell them.”
“What is it? LSD?”
“I don’t know Miss.” Lemar shrugged his shoulder.
“What do you mean you don’t know?”
“I don’t know what they are.”
“How do you not know what they are?”
“I found them Miss.”
At the moment Lelani’s office door flew open. Both teacher and student halted their conversation. Lemar arched round in his chair to see who had just stormed in, Lelani quickly hid the black bag behind her back. Lily and Josie suddenly paused by the doorway realising they had interrupted an important conversation.
“Sorry Miss.” Josie apologised cracking a sarcastic frown.
“Hey Alpha.” Lily gave a slight wave of her hand. Lemar ignored the greeting and turned back round on his chair. Lily shot a suspicious glance at Josie who returned the look with open wide eyes. The two realised that they had walked in on their classmate being reprimanded. Lelani moved off from the edge of her desk bringing the bag she held behind her back with her and walked round to the opposite side, opening a larger drawer, she pulled out a blue plastic bag and motioned to the girls to come and collect it.
“Well done girls. I was particularly happy with your behaviour in my class today. You kept your promise to me and now I’m keeping my promise to you.” Lelani extended the bag towards Josie who received it with a big smile on her face. “Now girls it’s Monday, I don’t want to see these things out in the open for the whole week. If I do, I’ll keep your vapes until Friday and everything else will go in the bin. Understood?”
“Yes Miss.” Josie replied enthusiastically. Keen to give the appearance that wouldn’t be caught out again.
Lelani looked at Lily who looked back at her blankly. Lelani eyed Lily waiting for confirmation. She knew that the student was purposefully pushing the boundaries. Lelani leaned closer to Lily.
“Is that understood Miss Blake?” Lelani put a serious hint in her tone. She didn’t have time to play out this battle with her student. She wanted to give all her attention and energy to Lemar who was clearly going through a stage of his life that needed some form of guidance.
Josie grabbed the back of Lily’s blazer, giving it a slight tug. Lily cast Josie a side glance. Lelani observed the two who seemed to be able to communicate without exchanging words. Lily after a few mumbles submitted to Josie’s will and turned to face Lelanie.
“Understood Mrs Martin.”
Lelanie nodded and smiled in acknowledgement.
“Well Thank you girls. I’ll see you tomorrow. Josie just pull the door on your way out please.”
The two girls looked at each other again and then looked at Lemar who continued to look forwards at his teacher with his back facing them. They slowly walked towards the door. Lily stopped for a moment slightly turning towards her friend.
“Alpha, do you want us to wait for you then we can all go home together?”
“ No thanks. I’ll see you guys later.”
“It’s not a problem we don’t mind, do we Josie.”
Josie shook her head in agreement even though Lemar never turned to witness it.
“It’s really no problem Alpha.”
Lemar didn’t respond.
“We’re going to mine afterwards, you can come chill out with us. If you want?”
Lemar rubbed a hand over his forehead.
“There’s gonna be food and….”
“JUST GO HOMEEEE LILY.”
Both Lily and Josie jumped, startled by the sudden rebuke. The deep tone in the young man’s voice even startled Lelani a little. She walked towards the girls and ushered them out of the office, closing the door behind her.
“Are you ok Lemar?”
“Yeah. I’m fine Mrs Martin. They can just be really annoying sometimes.”
“You live near each other?”
“Yeah Lily is my kind of my neighbour. I live in one block of flats and she lives in the one in front of me. Josie lives like 20min walk away.”
“I see.” Lelani didn’t want to stray off topic. “Alpha you didn’t just find those pills did you?”
Lemar pressed his lips together.
“Alpha, firstly you have soooo much talent in you it’s unbelievable. I’ve seen the work that you do in Art class and I’ve seen the Graffiti around the area. It’s amazing. Especially the one picture you made out on the wall in Brockley.”
A smile curled up on Lemar’s face.
“How did you know that was me Miss.” Lemar perked up.
“You tagged it, Alpha duhhhhh.” Lelani swatted Lemar on his shoulder in jest. “Do you know how much a professional artist can earn?”
Lemar shrugged his shoulders.
“Lots of Dosh.”
“Dosh?” Lemar wrinkled his face, not understanding his teacher’s use of slang.
“P’s Alpha. Bare P’sssss.” Lelani emphasized another London slang word for money.
“Stop it Mrs Martin.”
The both of them chuckled together.
“The life of a drug dealer is not for you.”
“I’m not exactly a drug dealer. It’s weird Mrs Martin. I got paid to give them away.”
“What….. Someone paid you…. To give them away?”
“It’s a madness Mrs Martin. It’s like some kind of experi….”
Lemar stopped midway through his confession as a low deep rumbling sound emanated from his stomach. Lemar looked down clutching his stomach and cast an embarrassed glance at Lelani who couldn’t resist but burst out laughing. Lemar laughed with her.
“Hungry?” She asked.
Lemar nodded.
“Yep a good trip will do that to you.”
Lemar raised his eyebrows.
“Mrs Martin you know about taking drugs?”
“Boy you have no idea.”
Lelani walked back over to her desk, this was good, Lemar was getting comfortable with her. He was trusting her enough to open up. Lelani wanted to find out what the young boy had gotten himself involved with. She wanted to make sure that he was safe. She had become a teacher not just to teach academia to growing generations but to guide them through this stage of life so that they might make the best possible decisions and avoid years of regret. This was one of those moments. The lessons learned outside the classroom. Grabbing her handbag along with Lemar’s possessions, she motioned to him to follow her out of the office, locking the door behind him.
“I’m actually really hungry too. Come on let’s get something to eat.”
Lelani led Lemar outside to the staff car park and clicked the central unlock button on her car keys. Lemar was eager to jump into the BMW convertible. Lelani chuckled to herself as he enthusiastically put on his seat belt and rubbed down the custom wooden dashboard and bespoke interior. She didn’t waste any time leaving the school premises. It was still early in the evening and there were still other teachers wandering around school. The attention of noisy colleagues interfering in the situation would derail her intention of guiding Lemar out of this predicament safely without getting him into trouble with the school, his parents, the authorities or whatever group the young man found himself involved with. Lelani checked the digital clock on the dash. It had just gone 5pm. Lelani drove Lemar to a well known vegan burger restaurant in south London. She asked him if he wanted anything in particular but he ruffled his nose up in anticipation that he would not be dining on a tasty meal. When she returned and dumped the gigantic paper takeaway bag on Lemar’s lap, he took one look inside and the boy’s eyes lit up when he reviewed the assorted meal. Vegan burgers, normal chips, sweet potato chips, vegan nuggets, vegan chocolate brownies, the works. The sun was still shining bright and Lelani knew of a quiet park in the area. She dropped the sunroof down and found a quiet spot for the two to sit and eat. Lelani chatted lightly with Lemar. She had been his teacher for 4yrs. So they already had a rapport with each other. As they ate Lelani pushed a subtle question about his situation. Lemar was very forthcoming with her although he didn’t drop the name of the man that had supplied him with the pills. He told her about how the man had propositioned him with money to vandalise some guy’s car. They laughed about it. Lelani warned him not to get himself into too many outlandish situations like that again but she consented with Lemar that it sounded like the guy deserved it. As she listened while taking a large bite of her food she couldn’t help but think to herself that is how her husband would behave. A man propositioning children to do his dirty work. She shook her head while she chewed on her tasty cuisine.
Why do men do these stupid things. She thought to herself.
Lelani knew that it was out of pride that the man who Lemar spoke about paid him to perform an act of petty violence. Lelani couldn’t help but think that it could somehow come back to bite the guy in the ass. That karmic attraction that would bring those destructive actions circling back round until it ended up where it had started.
Lemar chuckled while he stuffed a handful of mixed sweet and regular potato chips into his mouth that was dipped into an assortment of ketchup and bbq sauce.
“Miss you know what?”
“What Alpha?”
“Check this out Miss.”
Lemar shifted onto his side and reached into his side trouser pocket, pulling out his mobile phone. As he withdrew the device Lelani caught sight of a white piece of paper falling out of his pocket and down the side of the car seat.
“You dropped something.” Lelani pointed towards the boy’s side. Lemar shifted trying to see what he had dropped but he had too much food sitting on his lap and he couldn’t change position without dropping the food onto the floor. Lelani reached over to the side of his chair but she couldn’t see anything. She stuck her hand down the crevasse of the car seat and felt around as far as the small gap would allow but nothing alerted her touch. Lelani shook her head. “It must just be me. What did you want to show me.”
“Ooh We filmed it.”
“Nooooooo. Spraying the car.”
“Swear down Miss. I swear down.”
“Speak properly Lemar.”
“Ok okay. It’s true Miss. It’s true. I’m not lying.”
Lelani watched her student quickly unlock his phone and flick through a number of different applications. The boy mumbled to himself trying to recall where he had saved the video and how she was going to love it. He handed over his phone and instructed Lelani to play the first video. Lelani took the phone form him and scanned the screen where a number of small video thumb prints aligned in a grid was displayed. Each video slowly moved as it played the first few moments of its contents. Something on the page caught her eye and she took a better look at the clip. Her eyes opened wide as she opened the thumbnail into full screen. It was the video of the picture taken of her that had gone viral. Lelani’s mouth dropped wide open. Lemar’s attention had momentarily been reinvested into his food, so he was unaware that his teacher was viewing something that he didn’t want her to see. The video played and Lelani saw her almost naked bikini covered figure on the beach with her two sons. Her husband walking behind her was filming her rear and talking to her simultaneously. He called out to her at which she turned and laughed and told him to stop talking pictures. The video cut out as the beach ready Lelani tried to grab the recording camera phone.
“LEMAR BOATENG.”
By the sound of Lelani’s voice Lemar leaned over to see what was on the screen and quickly tried to recover his phone. Lelani swatted his hand away with a sharp slap.
“Ahhhhh Miss. I beg… please…. Please Miss….”
“Lemar where did you get this from. I can’t believe you have this on your phone?”
“Miss please.” Lemar thumbled with the food piled up on his lap.
Lelani face burnt red with embarrassment.
“You’re a teenage perve. How the hell did you get this video…..no why are you watching this video….. Lemar..” Lelani turned to face her student. Lemar leaned away from her penetrating stare.
Lelani eyed the boy while chewing what was in her mouth. She never used corporal punishment on her own children. She thought that style of disciple was archaic but she really wanted to give her student a good hiding. Even if he wasn’t her own child. Lelani watched Lemar wince while she stared at him. He slowly pushed another chip towards his mouth. Lelani snatched the chip from his grasp and threw it back into his makeshift paper tray resting on his lap.
“Explain yourself boy.”
“Miss please. Your video has gone viral.”
“So what… why do you have it saved on your phone.”
“Miss please… calm down…”
“I am calm… don’t tell me what to do.”
“Miss please …. Who wouldn’t save the video.”
“What’s so good about it? Huh?”
Lemar giggled out loud. Then quickly swallowed his laugh along with the food he was chewing. They both slide down hard. Lemar punched his chest as the partially chewed food slowly hurt sliding down his throat.
“Miss.” Lemar coughed.
Lelani raised her eyebrows.
“Miss… come on…”
Lelani said nothing and waited for him to continue.
“Miss come on….. Your backoff is nuts Miss.” Lemar scrunched up his face and braced for an impact. When no slap came the boy opened his eyes.
Lelani extended the phone towards him.
“Delete it NOW.”
Lemar compliantly took the phone and deleted the video. Lelani slammed the remnants of her meal onto Lemar’s lap.
“Right where do you live?” Lelani started the car and drove off before he could begin his answer. She was furious. This social media scandal had been blown way out of proportion. Lemar informed her of where he lived. She knew the area well. It wouldn’t take her long to drive to his house. Her rage started to simmer as she drove. She turned to look at Lemar who continued to slowly eat the food that was still infront of him. He pressed his lips together tightly but his bulging checks could not fully suppress the laughter that wanted to reveal itself. Lelani exhaled deeply. A slight smirk also curled up on her lips.
“How popular is the video?”
“Miss that video got over 10m likes.”
Lelani swerved as she quickly turned to look at Lemar surprised.
“Ten MILLION Likes.”
“TEN MILLION MISS.”
“Swear Down?”
“Miss, I’m not lying.”
“Do people like, earn money from things like that.”
“Miss you don’t understand. Models that get them kind of numbers on social media. They get paid P’s Miss….. You …. You wouldn’t need to teach anymore.”
“Really?”
“MISS YOU’RE NOT LISTENING. You’d be minted.”
Lelani looked at Lemar again who was smirking while chewing on a half eaten chip which was directed into his mouth by his fingertips. The boy nodded his head while the chip slowly disappeared into his mouth. As Lelani slowly took in what had just been said she slowly started to take notice of her surroundings. The area was starting to resonate with her even though she knew where he lived.
“Oh Miss look.” Lemar pointed to two girls walking on the side of the road. Lelani recognised them as Lily and Josie. Lily pressed on the entrance lock system and opened the door. Lelani’s heart started to pound.
This where he lived. This was Oscar’s Flat.
“That’s where Lily lives Miss. I live just behind this building.”
Lelani could feel the vein in her neck start throbbing, her mouth became dry and she found it difficult to swallow. Lemar directed her to a small side road behind the rear of Lily’s building.
“You can park here Miss, your car will be ok.”
Lelani parked the car. She forced a smile trying to hide her emotions.
“Are you ok Miss.” Lemar looked her over. “You seem a bit off.”
“Yesssss.” Lelani’s voice crooked. She coughed to clear her throat.” Yes. I’m ok. I think I just ate too much. I’m really full.”
Lemar nodded.
Lelani wanted to bring this situation to close, the sudden coincidence of being near Oscar’s flat had thrown her off. Her mind was racing with mixed emotions. Strong emotions that drew her in different directions.
“Lemar can you tell me who gave you these drugs?”
Lemar withheld his answer. Slowly chewing the food that was in his mouth.
“I don’t remember the guy’s name Miss.”
Lelani paused. She realised if she decided to forcefully push the matter Lemar would withdraw from her and he may find himself in a situation that she wouldn’t be able to help him through. Lelani wanted him to confine in her and she most definitely didn’t want him getting into serious trouble. She cared for him. Like she did all her students.
“Ok, put away the food. There’s plenty there. You can eat it.” Lelani reached into her handbag and withdrew the bag that contained his possessions and handed it over to him. “I want to help you Lemar and I want you to know that I’m here for you.”
Lemar nodded his head.
“Ok there’s two things that I want you to do for me ok…….”
Lemar nodded again.
“Can I have the small bag of powder and a few pills?” I want to find out what they are for you ok?”
“How can you find out Miss?”
“I know people that can test it for me. Will you do that for me Lemar.”
Lemar looked Lelani in her eyes and slowly smiled. He collected the small bag of blue powder and handed it over. He took a napkin from the takeaway assortment in his lap and carefully poured out a few tablets into it. He took extra precautions not to touch the pills with his bare hands. He rolled up the napkin and handed it over to Lelani.
“What’s the second thing Mrs Martin?”
Lelani smiled at him as she received what she had asked for.
“The second thing is…. I want you to give me your phone number. Please please please do not take anymore of this ok. Once I find out what it is i’ll call you and we’ll go from there ok…..oh and don’t collect anymore ok?”
Lemar nodded while reciting his mobile phone number. Lelani saved it into her phone and sent him back a text message reading Mrs Martin while he packed up his food and prepared to leave.
“I’ll see you in school tomorrow Lemar ok.”
Lemar nodded. Lelani rested her hand softly on the side of his cheek.
“You’re a great boy Lemar and one day you’ll grow up to be a great man. That has the capability of getting everything that you want out of life. Don’t ruin that future with drugs. Trust me. It is a zero sum end game. You won’t win anything when you’re involved with drugs.”
“A zero sum end game?” Lemar asked, confused.
“I’m basically saying that it will take away from you exactly what you put in. You will not gain anything from it.”
Lemar nodded in understanding. He turned to open the car door and jumped out. As he closed the door behind him he waved the bag holding the half eaten meal in the air. He quickly pulled out his phone and thumbled with the screen. Lelani’s phone beeped.
“I sent you the video of what we did to the guy’s car Miss. Thanks for dinner and…… Thanks for not getting me into trouble.”
Lelani winked at her student who quickly walked off down the side road and disappeared down a walkway that led into the building he reported living in.
As he disappeared Lelani quickly jumped out of her car. She pressed a button on the car key which automatically started to raise the sun roof before securely locking the vehicle. Lelani made her way towards the building that Lily and Josie entered. As she came towards the entrance someone living in the block walked through the secure door. The older gentle politely held the door open for Lelani who smiled and quickly walked inside. She remembered exactly where to go. She jumped into the lift and pressed the button for the 7th floor. As the lift started to move her heart pounded. She wanted to see Oscar and confront him for what he had done to her husband on the weekend. She wanted to know what kind of sick and twisted game he was playing. She was angry. When she reached his floor, she quickly ran to his door. She could hear a conversation happening next door, she paused trying to collect herself as her anger had gotten the better of her. She held her breath and tried to calm down.
What am I doing?
As Lelani battled her irrational thinking and thought better of confrontation the neighbours door suddenly opened and Oscar slightly stepped out. Walking backwards. Lelani’s heart jumped up into her throat and she pressed herself up against his door trying to hide. His door fell open and she stumbled inside his flat.
He left his door open. She realised.
Lelani held her throat as her heart pounded inside it. She had put herself into the worst predicament. She timidly sneaked a peek into the hallway hoping that there was an opportunity to escape but Oscar was in motion towards his door. There was no way she could exit his flat without being noticed. Lelani made her way to the living room closing the door to how it was before she stumbled through it. She remembered where everything was. There wasn’t a rear exit. There was only one way in and one way out. Lelani threw her handbag onto the sofa. She would have to fight her way out. The front door slightly opened. Lelani ran to meet Oscar as he opened the door. Lelani kept to one side of the wall hoping that Oscar wouldn’t notice her as she entered. As he closed his front door Lelani pounced on him beating her fist against his firm chest. Oscar surprised stumbled backwards into the door. Letting out a surprised cry. Lelani screamed as she pummeled hi’s chest. He pushed her backwards. Lelani fell onto the floor but quickly scrambled back to her feet.
“What the …..” Oscar kept himself pressed against his door confused as to how this person suddenly appeared into his flat. “Lelani….” Oscar called out seeing her face for the first time. “ What are you…..” Oscar inquiry trailed off. There was no need for him to continue to ask a question he already knew the answer for. A wry smile came across his face and he erupted into an antagonistic laugh. The sound of which infuriated Lelani further. She launched back at Oscar frailing at him.
“You bastard…. How could you do that? Who do you think you are?”
Oscar didn’t answer. He reflexively protected his head and face from any of her blows that came dangerously close to inflicting pain but he allowed Lelani to continue her assault, all the while laughing in her face. Lelani’s rage burnt hotter and she panted frantically as her dramatic onslaught rapidly consumed her energy. Oscar caught her blows by the wrists. Lelani desperately tried to free herself but he held her firmly. She Screamed out loud trying to get at him. Suddenly he released her and wrapped his arms around her midriff pulling her close. He held her body tightly against his. Lelani pushed against his face and chest. Trying to increase the gap between them but he was too strong for her. She pushed against his face in an attempt to disrupt him but he strained through pulling her in tighter. Lelani clawed at the back of Oscar’s shirt with her hands. She wanted to hurt and punish him but her attempts were failing.
“Stop it.” Oscar demanded with a wry tone as he ran one hand up her back, grabbed the back of her neck and drew her in closer. “Stop it.” He commanded more sternly.
Lelani clenched her fist tightly and used her palm heel to thump his shoulder.
“Let me Goooooo.” She wailed.
Oscar didn’t comply. Lelani pounded him harder. Oscar allowed her to continue, while leaning forward he licked her lips with his tongue. That slight invitation was all the excuse Lelani needed as she strung forward grabbing his face, kissing him back. The two kissed and wrestled with each other around the hallway, pushing each other to and throw. Lelani grabbed the sides of Oscar’s shirt and lifted his top upwards towards his head. As she lifted the shirt Oscar raised his arms allowing her however as the shirt turned inside out his arms became entangled. Oscar wrestled with the top, as he fought Lelani kissed and licked his chest, rubbing and fondling his body while he stood momentarily helpless. Oscar grumbled becoming agitated being unable to free himself.
“Take it Off.” Lelani ordered.
“I can’t…..I’m stuck…”
Lelani kicked her shoes off and took a few steps backwards grabbing the end of the shirt she yanked the top off completely stumbling backwards with it. Oscar darted forward tackling Lelani into the living room and onto the sofa. Lelani pulled his head towards her kissing him passionately. She hated him and wanted him both at the same time. While they kissed she continued to sporadically thump his back.
“Stop it.” Oscar mumbled through their kisses.
“Nooooo.” Lelani answered back feebly. The answer was so feeble that Oscar began to laugh. Lelani’s face flushed red. She heard herself saying it and she wondered why she had even answered. She began to laugh with him. As they laughed she became infuriated with the thought that she was completely under his control. She wanted to punish him. As he continued she clamped down on his lower lip with her teeth. Oscar howled out from the sharp pain.
Suddenly there was a knock at the front door. The two froze staring at each other, panting and out of breath. The knock continued and they both turned to look at the door. Lelani pushed Oscar off her and sat up. Oscar scrambled to his feet, he quickly grabbed his shirt from the floor putting it on. Lelani straightened herself out trying to make it less obvious of what the two had just been doing. Lelani clicked her fingers at Oscar pointing to his shirt which was inside out. Oscar took it off, turned it the correct way putting it back on. Lelani watched as he paused and took a deep breath then he opened the front door.
