Confessions

The sky with the mixture of orange and blue says the sun was setting. I sat down at the back of our little cottage enjoying the cool moment and reflecting on my friendship with Leo.

We've spent two weeks here, a week's left and we would be gone.

"Hmm, someone is thinking about him "....

I turned swiftly.

It was my brother...

"What are you thingkin about little sis? "He asked as he sat down beside me.

"Nothing, just mesmerized by the setting of the sun ". I lied

"Hmm.... "He said with half closed eyes staring at me.

"Ok... I wanted to -would you be less busy on Friday night? we've got a final to play and you know what?, its a celebration time for the team that wins ".

"Oh... okay maybe I would go "I said.

"That's not an answer desiree, would you go or not? "

I began to wonder what me not going would be, maybe Leo sent him... maybe I should go.

"Okay I would go"I said resting my back on the chair.

"That's my sis.. and you know what?, there would be plenty of time for you and Leo... I wouldn't be in a hurry to leave". he said as he stood to leave.

I almost missed the point of throwing something at him as he giggled and ran inside.

.......

The atmosphere was lively as we head to the field.

"Hey thumbs up mikel "my brother greeted one of his team mates . I just looked away and find my way to his dressing room to drop his bag.

"Hello "-

I turned to see who it was.... Leo

"Oh-hi"

"I wanted to ask ", he said as he put his hands in his pocket and walked towards me.

"Would you be around after the match? "

"Uh yeah... yes"

"Okay -pray for my team to win ". he said smiling .

"Oh don't worry am on my knees already ". I smiled back.

We just stood staring at each other, my brain was turning to mush as I was thinking of what to say or do.

"You're pretty fine desiree "

I almost choked as I looked at him -wait maybe I didn't hear well.

"I really would love to know you more "he continued.

"You're not talking desiree? "

I shifted my gaze to his eyes and saw a look of concern in them.

"Uh-ehm...o... Okay "I said not even understanding it myself

"I like you desiree "...

That I could swear I didn't hear well. I just stand like a statue mopping at a figure that stood at my front.

"See you later desiree, I've got to go ". instead he stood for some minutes before turning to leave.

"Am sure you would win ". I could not believe that I actually talked .

He turned around and smiled as he jogged to the field.

I sat down in my brother's dressing room.

"He said he likes me "I smiled and begin to jump, "well I thought Mr cool wouldn't drop the bomb shell "

Anyway I looked forward to meeting him after the match.
