Chapter 212 Forgetting Nora

     Xylie pulled a seat for Rosie and she sat down,Mom released Ben and he pulled a seat opposite mine and sat down. That was  a torture,he realised the effect he is having on me and decided to torment me the more because he smirked when he saw my facial expression.

     I did not want Mom, Xylie and Rosie to know that I have known Ben before now, Rosie knowing that Ben was my ex, I mean he is still my ex, will really be uncomfortable for her and I do not want that,I just want her to be free and enjoy her dinner. I want this relationship of theirs to work, everyone deserves the best.

     "You know honey that I will not trade you for anything. You are in my heart always"

Mom said to Xylie and I laughed despite my state of mind. Since Ben wants to torment me by all means,I will prove to him that I was over it for along time now.

Ben's point of view....

   The last person I expected to see here is  Nora,it's true that I can't get over her. It took me two weeks before the reality of her rejection hit me, yet I never believed it was over.

    It was on one of those occasions that I had went to the restaurant where I met Nora that I met Rosie. I have continuously visited the restaurant hoping that how we met will be put into repeat mode and maybe I will change the hand of time and make her see reason we should love ourselves.

    But then,she made a decision and I respect that. I really love her so much and I don't know why I can't forget her. What is so special about her?.

  Meeting Rosie was a distraction I needed as of that time,I just wanted to see if I could forget Nora but no way. 

   Rosie is a charming lady who you could not help but fall for,she is sweet, kind,she is everything you could want in a woman but I could not bring myself to love her. It took her a whopping two weeks to convince me that a relationship with her will work.

   I gave in to her to see if I could forget Nora but it never happened, forgetting Nora was not something I think I will be able to do. I think of her during the day and dream of her during the night. It's like everything and everyone has become Nora in my eyes and to be truthful,the fact that Rosie remains of Nora is the reason I am still in the relationship. I wonder how long I am going to continue like this?.

    Since I started dating her,I don't attend occasions with her but today,she has told me that someone she calls a mother has invited her for dinner and She has agreed to go but would like to go with me to introduce me to her. I accepted with ease which was still a surprise to me until I walked into this place and met Nora and I realized she was the reason.

   I was shocked at first to find her here but then,I presumed she is dating the woman's son which is the only reason she could be here, the way they communicate explains a lot. He might be the one she has talked about so since she has moved on,I could move on too and I think I did. There is no need trying make her feel that she still affects me,it will be better for all of us.

    Maybe Rosie is what I need in my life and maybe after all,I will be getting married to her. Mom and Dad loves her and I beginning to like her too,no doubt about that. The lady I love can't love me back so let me love the one that loves me.

    I can't literally live all the days of my life wishing for a love that will never happen. Since she is happy,I am happy too.

    It's one thing to love someone,it's another thing to be loved by someone but it's everything when the one you love loves you too. 

    The guy seems to be a nice guy and I like him already and the Mom,she is nice too. I trust Rosie to associate with people who have her kind of hearts.

    Rosie introduced to her and I got to know that her name is Mrs Smith. The way she received me was exceptional. There was something about her that is intriguing. Maybe it's the way she has kissed my forehead after I kissed her cheeks but I searched within me and found out that it's not it,there was something else other than the way she received me. But let me not think too much of it, no matter what it is,I will find out in due time.
