call it love or fascination 2

but I heard my phone ringing.

'he's calling, could it be he has seen you? oh goodness now this is exciting.'

i picked the call and he asked me if I have set off and where was I

" don't lie, it could be that he is watching you"

of course that could be the case so I replied that I was infront of his gate and that I was just about to call him.

he told me to wait and that he is coming to pick me.

pick you? maybe it was a coincidence that he called'.

I waited and in less than a minute he came to open the gate to his house.

we walked down the stairs to his living room,

he asked me to sit down and asked if he could get me something to drink and I refused.

he sat down with space between us and he started a conversation.

I asked him why he asked me to meet him and he responded.

" I saw you on the other side of the road today and I wanted to approach you but I was carrying some stuffs so I couldn't, I slowed down my pace when I saw you cross the road hopping you will catch up but you didn't, as I was going I kept on wishing I could Meet you again and hopefully I saw you again and am so grateful for that. if you don't mind me asking, do you have a boyfriend?'

" why ask?''

"I hope you don't feel offended but I really want to know so I can proceed with the conversation'

"so if I have does the conversation ends or not?"

" you know what"

"no I don't"

" it doesn't even matter whether you have or not so far as you are not married by the way Are you married?'

"no am not"

"ok so I wanted to ask you to be my partner"

"partner in what?"

"I want you to be my girlfriend"

" what if I already have one and you just meet me today so?"

" I know I just met you today but if you only knew what I felt when I saw you on the other side of the road I could say it was love at first sight and I don't care whether you have a boyfriend or not I will still Pursue you until you agree to be mine and if your relationship with your boyfriend's strong then both of you should not be worried especially your boyfriend because If his love is weak I will take you away from him.

" love at first sight, what if you have never met me again"

" I wished for it and I don't want to think about that but now that you're infront of me, now I know you will not be a fantasy of mine. please be mine"

"I don't have a boyfriend but I just met you and am not going to agree to being your friend"

" I was actually waiting for that response. I am not expecting you to accept me, I just want you to give me the opportunity to show you what my love is like"

"so do you accept to be my friend"

"friend? no! I do not want to be your friend, see me as someone who wants to just love you. see me as someone who is courting you"

"ok. my time is up, I need to go"

"so soon?"

" I told you where I was heading to already, so bye and see you around"

" let me walk you to the road side"

"ok"

" thanks"

as we walked to the road side, he stopped me, hold my shoulder and turn me towards another direction, he wrapped his hands around my neck and just when I was so angry and wanted to protest. he said something.....

"look towards that direction"

" what should I look for"

" look at us in that mirror, don't we look great together? don't you fit right inside my arms? don't you see a future? "

i looked at us in the mirror, truth be told we looked great together but I wasn't going to admit that.

"no, right now I can't tell. you see that mirror we are looking at we see what it wants to show us on one side but when we turn it what do we see? nothing, we see nothing but uncertainties, the mirror is like a human it shows us what we want to see but deep inside we carry something that no one else knows. just like this mirror isn't transparent I don't easily trust anyone."

' what are you saying?'

' sorry, even I don't know'

' then stop blabbering'

"sorry forget what I said and just escort me to the road side"

"I will but grant me the permission to hold your hand please let me hold your hand as we walk towards the road"

' will you let him? and why does he want to hold your hand now when you're almost at the road side?'
