Close Encounters with the Reptile Kind

Today, I was in a hurry to finish bath and get ready because I had a friend waiting for me. Like many times before, I ran outta the bathroom with the energy of Disgust running through my spine- shuddering my nerves. The Lizard!!! He was there again. And like all the times before I tried to pour water towards him and at the direction of his escape and my relief. But he did not budge this time, he just floated on the water no matter how much water I throw at him desperately for him to get out. He looked stubborn and adament today, he wouldn't go out of the bathroom. I remembered watching this show on TV about how if you spoke to animals they would respond and about this girl who actually spoke to a lizard to get outta her kitchen and it obeyed. But that did not work with me still.

So I had to get down with it, he wouldn't leave without teaching me a lesson and I was still flinching looking at him. He looked at me and i looked at him, he looked at me like he almost won "Now you are going to be late!". I said "You know, You little bastard, you are naked so I will be taking bath, I dont care any more, I need to take bath" I was forced to carry on and I managed to wash my hair at the door end of the bathroom so that it would be easy for me to run in case he made a move. Now was the tough part I need to pour loads of water or take a shower for which i needed to go onto the middle of the bathroom. I ran to the opposite extreme where I could reach the bucket and still maintaining a decent distant from the disgustingly pale black eyed boy. "There, there", he said, "there is no need to over react now, you are as disgusting to me as I am to you, I fear you as much as you fear me" Still I would not close my eyes even if the soapy water burnt my eyes, I wouldnt even wink, all eyes on him. He seemed to be laughing at me. I was almost done, when he graciously decided to turn his back and get outta the little hole towards the other side without disturbing me. I seemed to feel like he had achieved something, he seemed happy and brimming with a sense of pride. " Ah, see that wasn't bad, now I will leave you to your foolish humanly routines, take care now, bye bye" . In comparision to all the lizards I ve seen, he was a lot younger and looked adventourous and naughty to me. He may have changed the way I thought of lizards now, but sadly I am still disgusted of them just the same!
