LOVE
"Banji, how can I thank you enough for all you have done. You have been a great friend indeed, even though I used to ignore you then", Bimpe chuckled.
Banji smiled. "I'm doing this because I care."
Bimpe went silent. She knew the point he was driving at and she had always avoided touching topics like this with him.
"A day before Ayoade died, I told him I would like to tell him something", Banji continued. He stared at his nervous fingers before looking up at her.
"I wanted to confess my feelings for you. When I heard the truth about his death, I couldn't believe it. I outrightly denied it. I wanted to get rid of my feelings for you but the harder it became for me. I truly love you, Bimpe. I want you to give me a chance in your life."
"What are you saying, Banji? Do you even realize what you are saying? I have a 10-year jail term to serve and you are saying this?"
"I know what I want. I'm willing to wait." He assured her.
