Chapter 86
EMMA
“What do you think of this? Do you think it would look good on me Lola askerl, showing me a Blue shirt halter neck dress.
“It would look good on you,” I replied.
She squealed in excitement. “Yes! Now that this is done. How do you think I should wear my hair?” She asked,
“Are you not going to tell me who the boy is?” I asked for the umpteenth time
“I told you that I will tell you when the time is right but for now cannot say. Tonight will determine if I’d give it up or keep it up the replied but I wasn’t satisfied with her answer
1 didiv’t get Sean yet but I told her about my feelings for him not knowing if he’d accept me or reject me and it’s her turn but she wouldn’t say.
I tried to think from her perspective and not to read too much toeaning to her answer but I couldn’t help it.
“Do you think it’s fair?” I couldn’t help but say
“What do you mean?” She questioned.
I sighed. “I told you all about Sean and now you won’t tell me about the mystery guy.”
“Emma, it’s not what you are thinking and please don’t take it another way. It’s not that I don’t trust you not to want to tell
– you. It’s just complicated and you know him. You know him more than I do and I promise that when it’s time I will tell you.
I could even tell you tonight depending on the outcome. She explained.
“Alright. If you say so I want it to work out so you can tell me about it. I will be looking forward to it,” I said.
I stepped out of my room to get something in the kitchen when I bumped into Sean. My heart ski pped. I haven’t seen him for sometimes and it felt like a year and standing in front of him now isn’t making it easy
for me.
1 m entally spoke to myself to keep calm so as not to disgrace myself I didn’t want to make the first move. I refused to speak to him first and so I screamed in my head for my legs to move so I don’t have to keep standing and staring at him.
He was staring at me too with his hands tucked in his pants pocket. It was as if he also wanted to say something but wasn’t saying anything. Since neither of us had decided to make love, rey legs finally listened to my head and began to walk.
I walked past him only to halt on my track and she stopped me from taking any further steps. He held my arms, stopping me from walking
“Emma,” he called and I felt a jolt of electricity run down my spine from the way he called my name. He hadn’t called my name in a long time. It surprised me that he did.
“How have you been?” He finally spoke.
I opened my mouth to say something but was unable to. I didn’t know what to say to him. To think I’d wanted to speak to him days after my birthday but now that he was here. I had nothing to say.
“How have you been?” I asked him back…
I was suddenly pis sed that he was asking how I was doing? What was he expecting? After kissing me, he avoided me like the plague and suddenly wanted to know how I was king! Isn’t he supposed to know how I’d feel?

I mean he’s himself and I’m also myself but he shouldn’t be asking st upid questions.
“I’ve been good as you can see and you?” He replied casually and I scoffed.

I wanted to say a lot to him at that moment because I was pis sed at how calm he sounded for someone who kissed a girl and didn’t care to send a text.
Now that I thought about it, I was indeed foolish for wanting to speak to him when I saw that he didn’t send any text. I didn’t feel the need to speak to him and all I felt at this moment was anger.
“Alright. I can see that you are fine so will you let go?” I stated.
He let go of my arms and I decided to continue on my path but he stopped me again.
“Where are you going to?” He asked.
“And how is that any of your business? You are fine, aren’t you? Im fine too, does that answer your question? Alright then, now let go so that I can continue on my path. As you can see, I don’t have the time whole time in the world.” I said to him.
“Why are you angry with me?” He asked and I me ntally screamed at his st upid question because why would he even ask that
of me?
“I just wanted to know how you are doing so that we can talk, that’s all,” he added.
I pulled my arms off his grip. “Since you already know I’m doing good then let go of me. Not everyone has the entire time on their side and as you can see, I was heading someone.”
“I want to speak to you.” he voiced out.
“Okay. About what?” I asked, folding my arms across my chest.
“You don’t have to say anything actually because it’s not needed If you had something to say to me, you would have last week but seeing how you avoided me, it shows you have nothing to say to me so it’s best if you let go of me now,” I said through gritted teeth
“Why are you angry?” He asked like he had no idea why.
“Are you dense?” I couldn’t help but ask why was he asking me such a question.
“What?” He sounded surprised.
“I mean don’t you get it? You suddenly want to speak to me after avoiding me and you think it’s okay? Answer me honestly, does it look normal?” I questioned.
“I..why are you pis sed?” He asked again and I scoffed.
“Do I have to tell you what you did? Or are you deliberately acting clueless?”
“You can speak without having to insult me. I didn’t avoid you like a plague. I had no reason to and I also wanted to speak to you. I wanted to speak to you more than anyone but I just couldn’t because every time I wanted to, I just couldn’t,” he replied.
“And why was that?” It doesn’t even make sense to me.
“You don’t know how badly I wanted to speak to you. I could have easily sent a text
I didn’t think it would make. I wanted to speak to you in person and each time I wanted to, it just didn’t happen.” He explained but his explanation doesn’t seem to make sense to me.

“Are you even hearing yourself? You wanted to speak to me but couldn’t and you expect me to swallow it like some nice pill! Okay. I’ve gotten it. Now let go of me so I can move along, don’t you think?” I raised my brows at him.
*I’m not letting go. Now that I’ve finally gotten the chance to speak to you then I just speak to you no matter what so sadly I cannot grant your wish and let you go, he spoke and I scoffed again.
“What’s your problem? You want to speak to me but it didn’t happen that’s your excuse and you still expect me to stand here and listen to you? You just be delusional,” I remarked.
“You drive me crazy Emma. You don’t know how crazy it has been for me. The slower less night I’ve had and the urge to speak to you. If only you know that I’m not in the right state of mind just thinking about you then you wouldn’t think that I’ve been avoiding you like a plague.”
“Kindly enlighten me. I’m not some mind reader,” I chided.
“I never expected you to be. It didn’t happen because each time wanted to come and speak to you, it didn’t happen. I wish I could tell you a lot but you wouldn’t understand. You might take it
“Can you please cut it off with the parables and get straight to the point? You can’t do what your did on my birthday and walk away thinking it’s fine. Even if we drifted apart, you should have shown me some respect so why did you do that?”
“Do I look like some toy to you? Or some trophy price because it hurts my feelings. You… you stole my first kiss and…………” I trailed off, my voice breaking from the hurt I felt in my chest.
“I didn’t mean to do that.” He said and I stared at him in shock.
Did I hear him correctly or I’m not getting what he’s trying to say? Did he say he didn’t mean to kiss me? Did I hear wrongly?
“No. That’s not how I meant to say it. I meant I didn’t mean to kiss you and not speak to you again and no, you aren’t a trophy price and you aren’t a toy. I would never do that to you Em. You are more than that,” he explained but that wasn’t enough to quench the fire in my chest.
“1. I kissed you because I’ve been wanting to do that for a long time and it’s not for fun. It’s because I want to. I like you Er I’ve liked you for a long time now,” he confessed taking me by surprise.
I froze at his confession. I never expected that when we indeed spoke, we’d speak at the passage of my parent’s mansion.
“F uck! I didn’t mean to confess this way but you are driving me insane. It’s hard for me to not want you. It’s hard for me to not want to kiss you. I’ve not been able to close my eyes without recalling that kiss. It was the best of my life.”
“I want to repeat it. I don’t know how you feel about me but I have wanted to let you know of my feelings for a long time.” He uttered
I felt my mouth go dry. I honestly needed some water.
