Chapter 9

"Who were you speaking to?" He asked. I wasn't  looking at him but I could feel his eyes on me and that made me smile. The kind of smile I couldn't control.

"My friend."

"A boy or a girl?" He asked cocking his eyebrows. I laughed at the expression on his face, then I laughed again. I could not stop my eyes from rolling.

"I just delivered a very deep speech to you about my life. A Very personal and soul searching speech and the only thing you could ask is if who I was talking to was a girl or a boy. Just wow!"

Deep inside, I was Happy he asked. I was Happy he cared. Who didn't like occasional jealousy.

"I just knew it was a boy. That's why you don't want to answer"

"Ok yes it was a boy. Ovo. He's one of the most important friends I have. I just feel connected to him that's all. We both at one point in our life's wanted to feel nothing." I confessed,reminiscing on the times when we both got our hearts broken.

Highschool love story is the funniest love story of everyone's life.

"Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why didn't you want to feel?" He asked. How did he expect me to answer when his hands were on my thighs now. How did he even expect me to think. I could feel him moving all the way up in a sensuous manner. I had the feeling he was the one who was going to be the seducer in this relationship.

To think talking to him already turned me on and I had to take occasionally deep breaths to calm myself down. I guess no matter what I've done in the past I was still a reserved slut because of the way my Mum trained me. She practically beat purity in me. Unfortunately life had other plans.

I removed his hands from my thighs and he put it back immediately, smiling mischievously. I ignored him taking one deep breath.

"Because we were tired of feeling. Because we loved too much and because they always left. They always Left us broken." I said.

Before he came into my life I would feel sad anytime I said this but now, I just felt nothing.

"It wasn't like they weren't people who loved me and would give all for me. It was just that I was always falling for the wrong people. And all I ever wanted was to have my own love story no matter how fucked up it may be." I smiled looking at him now. He was here. It isn't a dream.

"No one leave's right?" He asked and I laughed. I laughed because I didn't believe it, because I've thought it true before but it wasn't.

"Everyone always leaves Chiemeka. One day one of us would. Although I doubt it would be me."

He looked surprised and disappointed when I said this but it was what I felt and he always asked that I be honest.
