He saw that I was not answering him and he clearly didn't know what to do, so he sat on the stairs, and kept staring at me, when I still didn't say or do anything to show him that I had seen him, he got up and came back to me. This time he was standing Infront of me, with his hands in his pocket, but his eyes was on mine, even though I wasn't directly looking at him, I could tell everything he was doing with his eyes."You are still beautiful even while angry". He says, trying to be humorous, but I still was not moved.Are you going to keep quiet forever? He asked, and I only looked at him for a second, before looking away, with my hands on my waist. He took my hands into his gently, and went on his knees as though he wants to propose to me.He might as well propose to someone he doesn't know. We were only friends and he kissed me. He should have started by asking for courtship first, before going too far to kissing.Common Kiki, I am sorry". Hearing him call me that didn't help matte
We moved early the next day, with my mother, and she didn't bother asking me about the previous night, even though when she got to the airport, she saw him with Myles and Ariana. I was feeling alone and awkward for having fought with the both of them, yet I am to travel with them, in Myles' private jet."Myles, please take care of my daughter". I heard my mother say to him, as she pulls him to the side. I wonder what she was trying to do, when she had been the one that had said that I should move on with someone else, and that someone else, happen to be standing just by the side, yet she was talking to Myles, instead of to Darius."I will try my best aunty, just that, I feel she is big enough to take care of herself now". He replied, and I just pretended as though I was not paying attention.Somehow I wish I could travel on a different day, I dont like the attitude he was giving me, and I really would have loved to show him that I could do things on my own, with or without his help."
I could never mistake his voice for that of another person, that is the voice of the guy I have been with all my life, both as my friend and my brother. That is the voice of the guy I am inlove with, who would probably never love me back, but having him fight with me, was something I would never live with. I smiled, because I know we have settled for sure.I gently turned around, and was greeted with his sinister smile, which sent cold shivers down my spine.That is the effect I am talking about, the way he stares at me alone, is enough to sweep me off my feet, let alone when he smiles like that, with just a part of his lips shifted to the side."I was admiring the work done here, I wasn't looking at you". I lied and he nodded as he walked further inside. o became scared as though I was seeing him for the first time, or I don't know whom he is.I haven't studied the area very well let alone the apartment, else, I should have know that there is another door by the side of the dinning.
I wish the question was the other way around, but I guess, this is not the time to say the truth, after all."He is not that bad, but I am not very sure about love". I answered. That should make him happy if he feels anything for me, that should tell him that I want him, that should tell him to just end this drama, so we can all have this time to ourselves. For it would have made me happy, if he had looked into my eyes, the way he was looking now, and told me that he doesn't love Ariana. I would have had a new surge of hope."What is really the problem? I heard him ask, after he took me to the long couch, and made me relax my back, while he stared into my eyes."What are you asking."The way you are going about your relationship life, are you sure you are ever going to fall inlove with anyone? Or should I ask what I have in mind? As soon as I heard him say that, I swallowed hard and sat up. I resolved within myself that if he asks me if I love him, I would just tell him the truth. I
I took the handkerchief from him and wiped my nose, then he helped me stand on my feet, and held me by the waist. I was looking into his eyes, I didn't want to ask him any questions or say anything to him, in silence of our heart, all that was not said, could be understood with the way our eyes was longing for each other.He brought his phone out and played a song, then he started tapping his finger to the song. It was funny, I didn't know he loves music, but his kind of music, isn't really the type I love to listen to, even though I heard some that I love from his collections.I love the fact that he didn't ask me why I was crying, and he is only interested in making me smile, because if he had asked me, I don't think I would have been able to lie to him." I heard you are a good dancer huh? He whispers into my ears and I only smiles."I don't want to dance". I replied to him and he refused, pulling me into his arms and swinging me around. You wouldn't know how much I can dance, if
I thought they were going to leave, but I was surprised, when Ariana, spoke."We are all going to eat at home then. We are willing to eat the food made by you Darius". She says laughing at him like he doesn't know how to cook."Rina, you sound like you don't think he can cook". I asked and she chukkled."Well that is because I don't think he can, since I have known him, he has never even boiled water before". She says, but Darius didn't seem moved by it, for he says." A king is not recognize in his home town, but since you are all eating here, no problems, but first, I need to ask Myles if there are any preferences so that I know what I am doing, for I would not want to have a life threatening issue in my hand". Darius says and that sounded as though he was mocking Myles, which I didn't like, and would not take it from him. I watch Ariana, who is supposed to support her man, also laughing at such dry jokes, and I had to speak up, especially when I noticed that Myles was not smiling
"Hey! I said, almost as though I was whispering and he looked up at me, and then looked back down to what he was doing, which was playing with the hibiscus."You know, this is my favorite too". He says and I nodded. He planted the flower there, because he knows it's my favorite."Yes I know. I didn't like it before, but somehow you made me fall inlove with it. I mean, the way you take care of the flower garden in the main compound and how they started to blossom afterwards, shows that anything can be beautiful, as long as it is well cared for". He seem happy hearing me say that, he sat up and then turned to me."Why are you always so nice to me? He asked and I smiles. This time I was not thinking of what could or could not happen I have given up on believing that he could ever say anything towards the direction I am hoping he would."You are my best friend Myles, the best thing that has ever happened to me, and if I am to come back to this world a million times, I would still want t
Weeks had passed since that night, and life at school resumed its usual rhythm.Myles and I, never broached the subject again, though I hoped he would initiate the conversation. But as time went on, it remained untouched and our interactions became infrequent.Despite my lingering feelings, I found solace in the companionship of Darius, who kept me occupied. Our study sessions were frequent, though at times, he would want to end it with an intimate mood or conversation, still his presence at my place filled the gaps, leaving little room to cross paths with Myles, despite our close proximity.While ensuring Darius was taken cared of, I didn't neglect my duties towards Myles, I cooked for him daily, as I would not want him eating anything that would hurt him.However, as I sat alone in my room, Darius barged In, looking tense. His intrusion surprised me, considering we had just seen eachother a few hours prior.Seating himself nearby, he abruptly changed the TV channel to sport, without
