chapter twenty

when he got inside they were still watching a movie, Joan smiled at him when she saw him and asked him to sit next to her, Callum also came and sit on the other side of Joan, in the process of watching the movie Joan felt sleepy, her head swing from left to right and then rested on Callum shoulder and he smiled watching her and Nick just watched on.

he felt uncomfortable again and just when he was about to stand up and leave, Kimmy and Maxim said they had to leave and since Nick and her are childhoodfriends then he should look after her, Callum removed her head from his shoulder and rested it on the sofa carefully and the three left,

Nick sat down and watched Joan asleep, he watched her for so long, thinking about something only he knew,

before he moved her from the sofa to the bed and he left.

The next day Joan woke up late, she was lucky because she had no class today, she called Kimmy and she told her what had happened, after the call

"why did Nick leave here early" Joan wondered

Nick had a lot on his mind, and Everytime he thinks about Joan and Callum together, he feels some stuffiness in his heart and it was painful to deal with.

it had been months and it seemed Joan had forgotten about Nick but he never did for once, during those periods, he always watched Joan from afar and she was always laughing and it seemed she was enjoying herself

"oh you! weren't you the one who wanted her to stay away, ain't you the same person who also told her to not depend on you and to not stick around you, I mean you even told her you won't be there for her all the time, so why now? why are you finding it hard to see her doing exactly that? Nick what's wrong with you? this is what you wanted so you should be happy" Nick said smiling

he sat down on his sofa and held his chest

"but why does it hurt so much here"
