CHAPTER FIFTY TWO: MY CRUSH IS YOU!

CHAPTER FIFTY TWO: MY CRUSH IS YOU!

 

"Yeah, he was daydreaming while saying that. I was shocked and just asked what makes him like you and he answered saying, everything" Samuel responded with a smirk while looking at me and wiggling his eyebrows jokingly

"What with the wiggling of the eyebrows?" I asked irritated by the way he reacted to Daniel's nonsense

"I heard from him that you also like him" he said as he gave a smirk

Tsk! He still thinks I have the same feelings I had two years ago

"Was he daydreaming while saying that? No! I am sure he was daydreaming, why the question?" I interjected to myself as I groaned at the thoughts of Daniel having those thoughts in him. Urgh!

"You never liked him?" Samuel asked with expression that says he is confused

"Yeah" I answered immediately and then turned to look at him "Don't tell me you believed what he said?!"

"Of course! Daniel never for once told me a lie" he responded as he made an expression that says he is sure of what he is saying

"Listen, I was stupid to have fallen for him in the past but right now, I have no feelings for me. To be honest, thinking about him disgusts me" I said sincerely with a sincere disgust

"Oh! So, you did fall for him-"

"-point of correction, that was in the past so stop all these." I said as I looked at him with an expression that says I am disgusted by the way he mentions it

"Okay, Okay..." he said in defence

"Thank you for understanding!" I appreciated as I let out a sigh of relief before looking at the roof

"You are welcome!" he said and then also looked at the roof before looking back at me as if wanting to ask me something or tell me something "Can I ask you something?" he asked with a smile

"I hope it is not another of what Daniel told you?" I asked with a groan

"Nah, I am over that. Although, I would have loved for you guys to date" he admitted with a nod

"Can I ask a question? Did he ever mention wanting to date me? Or, did he ever mention why on earth he ignored me for those years and not my brother?" I asked as I turned to look at Samuel curiously

"Okay, that is a lot of question you have there. He did mention why he ignored you" Samuel answered

"Okay, why?" I asked wanting to know

"He said, he just didn't know how to start a conversation anytime he looks at your contact. He called it, love fright. When you love somebody and don't want to hurt someone with an awkward conversation" Samuel explained

"Urgh! That is the most stupid-est. thing I have ever heard before" I groaned

"I agree! I also do have that. That is why, I prefer meeting up with my crush than chatting up her" he said as he gave me a serious look

"Gosh!" I sighed

"Was that the reason you stopped crushing on him?" he asked with an eyebrow raised

"Yes, I stopped loving someone that doesn't care about me"

"But, now you know…"

"Are you really in a haste for me to love him back?" I asked

"You know, I am something like a match maker"

"Gosh, can I even know who your crush is?"

"Mine is simple, I am crushing on you" he answered with a smile

"You are lying" I said as I looked away not believing him

"What makes you think I am lying?" he asked curiously

"Okay so, who is always forcing their crush to like their friends? Like, who does that?" I asked with a shrug

"I know that is what you will say but, haven't you thought why I am making sure to ask the same question, to make sure you don't have any feelings for Daniel" he said with a sigh

"Even though, I can't believe you. Besides, I am not ready to crush on anybody" I admitted

....

"Did you tell her how you feel?" Vivian asked curiously as she dug into her popcorn

"Yeah" Samuel answered with a sigh as he dropped his phone down in disappointment

"What did she say?"

"She doesn't believe me and she is not ready for love. I don't think I will ever have to date her since, she isn't ready to give in" he said with a groan

"Listen, don't give up. Just continue being her friend and do things to make her notice you, in that way she will believe you" Vivian said before sipping from her chocolate drink

"I hope so!"

"Goodness! How did I not know that you were crushing on my boyfriend's sister?" Vivian asked

"Don't make me regret ever telling you this!"

"Come on! Besides, didn't you say Daniel likes her as well? What are you going to do about it?"

"I will just have to hope I didn't do a mistake by putting Daniel in the right for her"

...

Urgh!

I lied down on my bed after coming back home.

I can't believe Daniel still likes me and Samuel, is it that he doesn't want to tell me his crush? Is that why he lied that is me? Urgh! Samuel can be annoying at times.

I know he is lying with the way he was responding to every question I asked him about Samuel. Gosh! Who do I even like? Daniel?

No goodness, no! no! no‼ why did I suddenly think about him? Why did he suddenly get in my mind? Why?

I must not love Daniel! I mustn't!

...

As if the days were speeding, resumption came and it was suddenly time to go to school.

I had to meet my friends again and about Samuel and others, I didn't see them. Maybe, he will be resuming next week

Gosh! I was also glad that I didn't come across Daniel until now.

"Hello! Happy Friday!" he said with a smile as he waved at me
