JUSTICE.

When I know enough time has passed for everyone to be in bed, I make my way to Magic's room.

I knock and I get no response, I open the door and enter and she is sitting on the bed watching me.

I climb on the bed and position my self, my back resting on the headboard and my legs crossed.

I look closely at her and I see her holding the phone case and another small broken phone.

"What's that?"

I ask with a nod towards her hand.

"I thought.... I thought you were angry at me?"

She says and I almost smile.

"Anger is a strong word"

"What are you then?"

I decide to ignore her question, I pull the phone casing from her hand and I open the wrap.

The brand new sleek iPhone falls out, she gasps.

I look at her with my eyebrows raised.

"Don't tell me you've never seen a phone"

She blushes.

"I have but not one this beautiful"

She says this while raising the piece of junk with a rubber band around it lookalike of a phone.

I nod.

I lean over her and plug the phone in on the wall socket

"Is there any one you want to call?"

She nods...

"Your best friend?"

She nods again.

"Why haven't you done so?".

I ask while nodding at the thingy in her hand.

"I think its dead for ever, it won't turn on and I don't have the charger".

I nod.

"No worries then, when that one powers on you can call your friend"

"But I don't have her number in my head"

"Let's up it come up when you switch Sims."

I reach over her and get her new phone, I hear her pull in a breath when our chests brush, I almost smile.

I switch Sims of both phone and I power on the phone, she squeals a little.

After a while I go through the contact list.

"So?!  Is the number in there?"

She asks excitedly, I shake my head and she deflates.

"Tomorrow, we will take your other to the mall tomorrow to try and get it to power on, ok? Then we can get your contacts from it."

She nods .

I go on to show her the things her new phone can do and soon she is smiling.

We open a Facebook account, an instant messenger, WhatsApp and even an Instagram account, she followed all the top fashion designers.

She knew them all and can even spell.

Not that I don't think she can spell, just that am surprised she is that good at it.

I have to really find out about a university for her.

I turn to her when she tugs on the hem my shirt, I like that shit.

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Depends, what do I get from answering?"

She frowns confused.

"Go on, ask away"

She takes a deep breath and I brace myself, this will not be a good question.

"Why didn't you ever arrest Selene?, I mean, isn't abortion illegal in our country?"

I nod.

"Her parents are very influential and good people, at that time I was going to but to what end?  They will just get her out and am sure they will saddle me with a name, a name my company didn't need at that time.

So I locked up, and besides, her parents are like one of the major share holders in my company, good people, a relationship ruined like that because of their greedy, selfish daughter would have been irreparable and again , major shareholders"

She nods.

"But that doesn't mean I won't pay her back in her own coin itty bitty, she won't see it coming"

She nods and i get that she totally got me.

"She will deserve what ever comes to her"

I nod.

"Of that you are right magic"

She narrows her eyes.

"What?"

"You just said my name, for the first time"

I smirk, well well well.

Someone is observant.

"You like me saying your name baby?"

She blushes.

"Well I don't hate it"

Ha sneaky.

I pull her face to mine.

"Will you not hate it if I kiss right now?"

Her eyes widen and I see something in there.

What?

No way.

Nah.

But.....?

"Have you ever been kissed?"

She blushes and refuses to meet my eyes by playing with her phone

"Eyes on me magic"

She slowly raises her eyes.

"Have you ever been kissed?"

She shakes her head no and I almost weep.

So effing innocent.

I pull her gently to me and she comes willingly.

"Am going to kiss you now, break the kiss when ever you want itty bitty"

Her eye widen, I don't let her say anything because I kiss her.

At first she is motionless, I nibble on her lip and she opens for me.

Good girl.

After a while she seems to get the hang of it because she kisses me back like a pro.

I break the kiss.

Well what do we have here.

She turns glazed eyes to me and stares at my lips.

"Again?"

I ask and she nods.

I kiss her again, this time harder and much more longer, I break the kiss and whisper in her ear.

"You taste so much better than anything or anyone I have or will ever have"

She goes still in my arms and I frown.

"What's wrong?"

"Please leave my room."

The eff?

"You said what Magic?"

"Leave my room"

I stand from the bed and I pace a little.

I turn to her, pissed.

"Is this what you do? You lure guys in by being sweet and when you have them grasps you tighten the noose?"

Hurt flashes in her eyes, but am too far gone to care.

"Was that even true?  Was that even your first kiss? Or you made that up to make you look innocent?"

She kneels up in the bed and points to her door.

"Get out!"

"You don't have to say that twice bitty, am going".

I exit and i slam the door as hard as I can.

Whatever.

They are all the same.

I enter my room and I fall on my bed.

I think about what happened, I go over my words and.....

"Oh shit"

I understand now why she is angry,

'better than the one I will ever have?'

Who says that?

So tactless, justice, you moron.

I sigh as I rub my palms on my face.

And the harsh things I said, and after the girl gave me her first kiss   nonetheless.

Ha, justice.

I go to stand but stop.

Tomorrow, Tomorrow.
