I gave him a pat on his back, "it's okay Kwofo, there's nothing to worry about; I won't cease from being your friend based in a situation you couldn't handle", truth be told, my heart ache for him and what he's passing through.
He sniffed wiping away the tears from his face, "thanks so much for not being disgusted at me; I was prepared to face whatever you will dish out for me", he tried a smile, " once more you've made me speechless".
The door bust open and Blondie walked in( rushed in would have fit well for how he came in), "Reddy told me the situation is normal but I doubted it; turns out I was worried for nothing", he sheepishly smiles while nervously scratching his hair.
"We're okay, right?", I smile at a beaming Kwofo,
"Yeah we're okay", he nodded his head in agreement.
"Well I will be out there of am needed", he( Blondie) said before he left the room albeit keeping the door slightly ajar.
Guess he's not convinced about Kwofo and whatever agenda he might have.
His actions seems like that of a lover; if am not aware of his playful nature I would have thought his peculiar behavior is based on his affections for me.
"He seems to like you", Kwofo said as a way of conversation starting.
" I don't think so; he's just worried about me as a friendly does another friend; there's no affection there", I wish that's the case.
He gave me an indescribable look; a look I can't decipher, " if you say so", he shrugs with a shoulder
" Did you learn that newly?", I asked about his one sided shrug; I've never seen him do that before.
"Learn what?", he looks confused
"how to shrug with a shoulder", I shrugged just like he did moments ago.
" Oh", he smiles, " I learnt that from Jionu", he shrugs again for emphasis.
The playfulness left me the moment he mentioned her name, " Jionu?", I can't help but be a little( okay it's not a little am so much) jealous of her; I can't shake ofc the feelings of her being as sort of my replacement to Kwofo.
" Come on Buchim, you know I don't trust her the same way I trust you", he smiles yet I can't find it in me to mirror his actions.
My heart still thinks he's replacing me with someone; a girl he just recently met.
"Did she know of your crush on me?", i can't help but ask those questions, I have to be really sure of where I stand in his life.
I can't believe I will be competing for his attention with a girl he just recently met; a girl who didn't knoo him as much as I thought I knewunsureu
A girl who don't know about our history together.
He looks uncomfortable all of a sudden; it's like he doesn't want to answer my questions.
"It's okay you can just tell me", I try to smile but failed.
