It was our last night in mountain high college, we would end it with a prom, and he was feeling heart broken, because his girlfriend cheated on him with a new guy, who just came into the school, and even though he said he wanted to to be left alone, I couldn't let him be on his own.
I went to his house and his mother told me he was at the garden. I was already dressed for the night, I had told his friend, whom I was dating at the time, that I will meet him at the party ground, that he didn't have to come and get me, to which he agreed.I found him at the garden, he was dressed casually, and he was playing with the the trees around him."What are you doing here all by yourself, looking like the world has turned against you Myles? I asked him and he looked away, ignoring my questions, but we have been friends for so long that I know I could still make him laugh, so I sat close to him, with the dress he got me that he hasn't even noticed I was wearing. I had admired myself so much before coming out, that I thought that as soon as he sees me, he would see the beauty before him, but just like always, he didn't seem to see me. We were quiet for a long time, he didn't say anything to me and I didn't say anything to him, he saw that I wasn't ready to leave, so he broke the silence with a question."Are you going to keep Jason waiting? Aren't you supposed to be with him now?"I am not going to the prom without you, if you are not going, then I am not going". I told him, and started doing exactly what he was doing, playing with the trees."That would be unfair to Jason you know right? He spoke calmly, this time looking at me, while I still had my face buried in the ground. I know he was looking at me, he should have noticed my dress by now, but no word from him. I turned to him to reply to his questions."I care more about you, so Jason could be angry for all I care". I said, and the way he winced his eyes, I knew I shouldn't have sounded that way, so I quickly changed it.You are my brother, my best friend, I cannot leave you here all by yourself and go enjoying myself, plus Jason is such a bad dancer, I spent the entire week teaching him how to dance, yet he didn't get it". I said and I knew that would crack him up, he chuckled."I remember that funny dance he does, and the last time I saw you both dancing, it was terrible indeed". He says and we both started laughing. Soon silence eluded us again, and I thought maybe I should tell him how I feel about him. I really should tell him that I have always loved him more than a friend, more than a brother, but I remember how he winced his eyes when I said I care about him, I shook my head against my own very thought of telling him the truth."What am I doing wrong Kiara? I mean, this is the third time a girl is leaving me for someone else. I could have swore that what I share with Ariana was pure, but.....He choked in his words, as his voice broke, as though he was about to cry. He seem to really love her, he even wants to cry for her, and here I am about to tell him how I feel for him? It is pointless telling him about my feelings for him, he would never love me the way I love him. He loves Ariana, and even though she had betrayed him, he still seem to love her. I don't like seeing him that way, so I needed to do something to make him feel better.I played his favorite song, by Justin Bieber 'My boo' and then I got up and started dancing while I stretched out my hands to invite him to a dance, he resisted a little, and he still didn't notice the dress, even though he was the one who paid for the dress, but he knew he couldn't resist the song, he soon started moving his head and tapping his legs to the rhythm of the song until I pulled him up and he unconsciously followed me, and we started dancing at the garden. He swinged me around and I fell into his arms, he raised me back up and our eyes locked to each other for what seem like forever, but I saw nothing spectacular in them, not like the way I see him dance with Ariana."You haven't done anything wrong Myles, you do everything right. You are sweet, very understanding, loyal, any woman in your life, should be happy to have you, because you are sweet a wonderful person". I could go on and on, and I wanted to, maybe this was my chance, because of the way he was looking at me, his looks had changed and if I thought I saw nothing in his eyes at first, I was begining to see something, but Jason had to show up at that time at his place, and he cleared his throat before we looked away."I knew I would find the both of you here". He says, and I unconsciously, sent strands of hair back, through my ear."Sorry I kept your girl from you, she was just trying to get me back on my feet. You know how she is right? He says, as he moves close to him and shook his hands in their usual friendly way, while I stood behind looking.I felt like killing Jason for spoiling the mood, I really could kill him right away, if that would send him far away, but he was still there, looking at me with a broad smile. "You look so beautiful". He says and that was when Myles also exclaimed."Is that the gown you picked from the mall the other day? He asked and I nodded. Angry that he was just noticing me, only after it was pointed out to him.Wow! it looks so good on you". He added."Are you saying, you danced with my girlfriend and you didn't notice what she is wearing until I said something about it? hahahaha, anyways, I know you have eyes for Ariana, even if she was wearing some dirty dress, you will still admire her". He says and he was right, Myles will always admire Ariana, no matter what she was wearing, but with me, I am just a no body, he doesn't see anything spectacular about me and it is so sad that I am helplessly inlove with him.He joined Jason to laugh, as he runs back to the house to get changed. It felt like they were laughing at me, but Jason came close and held me by the waist."Don't mind that brother of yours, he is just helplessly inlove with the wrong person. If I didn't know you are both not into eachother, I would have been too angry, seeing you both dance together". He says, referring to Him and Ariana, when he says, Myles is in love with the wrong person, but I guess he is right. Myles is helplessly inlove with the wrong person, while I am helplessly inlove with him, but I cannot tell if he is the wrong person, but with what has happened this evening, I just know that I could never tell him how I feel about him, else, he might laugh at me. And that would be worse than I am feeling at the moment.The party was going so well, with just the three of us together. I refused going anywhere private with Jason, because I didn't want Myles to be alone, but he didn't care about all the effort I put in to keeping him company, because as soon as Ariana Steve walked in with the hottest dress, showing off her shiny thighs, her hair was down, and she kept flipping it every other minute, I noticed she had her eye contact done, to match with her violet dress. If she is to bend down, whatever is left of her modesty would be out in the open. I thought Myles wouldn't care about whatever she was showing, but it wasn't just him that was taken by her appearance, every other person in the room, who didn't know they had issues, started looking at Myles admiringly, as the one dating such a beauty.I thought she was going to walk past us, I was already holding Myles encouragingly, but she walked straight to him and kissed him on the cheek. Then again, I thought he would push her away and embarrass he
On my way back to the party ground hoping to find Myles there, so that he could take me back home, I wasn't so surprised to meet an empty party ground, with little or no one in sight, they all must have gone to somewhere private to give eachother their goodbye gifts. I walked into the school premises and through the library, which had another back door to the main road, hoping to find a taxi that could just take me home from there, if I don't find Myles, but I was greeted with a more annoying scene, a scene worse than the slap. Myles, was beside the the library toilet, kissing Ariana aggressively and almost tearing off their clothes."Myles! I shouted almost in tears. they both came to a stop, while she tries to straighten her dress, that didn't need too much work before it goes up again.What are you doing? I demanded to know and he looked angrily at me."What are you doing here Kiara? He asked instead of answering me, he started pushing me away."Are you really asking me that? She
The next week held so many good byes, from those that have received their mails from the schools they applied to. I for one, regretted not choosing schools that were far from the state I stay, I chose the same school, he chose. We have the chance to choose at least two schools, making one first choice, and the other second choice. He also chose the same school I chose, as a matter of fact, he filled the entry form for me. He told me he didn't want to be away from me, and I clearly didn't want to be away from him, but staying with him and having him throw dog food at me all the time. is that what I plan to get for another five years? I wasn't sure, so I started making preparations to change school. I was sure I will get into one of the schools chosen for me by Myles, because of their status and wealth, but I could seek to be transferred from that school to another school.Ariana didn't go far, she gained admission into one of the schools I have chosen, when I heard about hers, I frown
I was thinking going to Wallingford was going to be just the both of us, I never envisioned that Ariana was going to be there too. Damn It. He was going to shop for her, before we all go back to school, not like we are going far away from eachother, we are all going to be in the same school, and she will see him all the time, so why does she have to go to the place with us, when she will always have time with him? I was not happy, when he told me that he was at the restaurant, waiting for me to join them. When I heard the plural word 'Them'. I didn't need anyone to tell me whom it is that is there with him, I also didn't want to sound angry, because I know I promised that I was going to accept her, as long as she doesn't hurt him.I got to the Wallingford restaurant, and didn't have to look for them, because off course, they were seated comfortably at the VIP section, but I noticed that it isn't just Ariana that was there, someone else was seated there with them, infact two persons. T
At a point, she stood Infront of him, bringing us all to a stop. She looks like she was going to cry. She searched his eyes, then asked with a calm voice."How are you feeling now? I wanted to laugh, because I know Myles is fine, but maybe not in the mood for question and answer drama. Myles only nodded, he still looked too weak to respond.Please don't you ever scare me like that again? she says to him and he feigned a smile.And what was that thing you gave to him anyways? She was asking me.I had to tell her, for I too never want to see Myles in such a situation ever again."I gave him Mango juice with menthol.Myles have a few things he is allergic to, so you have to be careful, especially now that we are going to be away from home. You will see him more than I do, you have to be sure, he doesn't take Ovaltine, if he must take tea, it has to be with Lipton". I was still talking, when she screamed."But I hate taking tea with Lipton, I mean I am already too slim and well shaped, I
I don't know why he was so calm, and not saying much, but the way he was looking at me, really got me thinking that we might just have the time tonight. Maybe I really could tell him all that is needed to be told.I made him Coffee and sat close to the fire house with him. I had him covered, while he sips on the coffee."You know, I was scared today". He says and I nodded, that I could relate with what he just said."But why did you take it, when you know you are allergic to it? I didn't want to blame him, but I just needed to ask.I mean, you are very choosey, you should be careful with the things you take, and you know your health condition too". I added, but he raised his hand to stop him."If I am able to tell her about my allergies, I cannot tell her I have health issues too. it will scare her, and I don't want that". I was surprised that he didn't think he could share with her, whatever is bothering him."How can you not tell her that you are sick, even though it is well manage
I had a blast with Myles, and I was very happy that at last he felt better to even drive me home with all the stuff he got me from Wallingford.In his usual Manner, when he got to my door step, he still alighted, to walk me into my house."Is mum around? He asked, looking as though he would be spanked, for keeping me with him for so long."I am not sure". I answered, trying to indirectly urge him to come inside, since I was not really ready to allow him go. I enjoyed, every minute I spend with him and I want more of it."That is good then, so I don't get to explain". He says as he helped me get the key from the door mat and opened the door to get my things inside the house.After he was inside the house, and had carefully dropped my things in my room, he came back to sit down with me, holding my hands in his."Thanks once again for yesterday". He says and I nodded my head.We still have few more days before we will leave for school, but I will go before the time, to ensure that your r
I allowed the phone ring for a while, contemplating if I should take the call or just pretend to be tired, but after the first ring, I was reminded that something may have happened, which needs my attention, and so I quickly picked my phone."Hey! I answered, forgetting that the number is a strange one."Hey beautiful, how are you doing? I heard his voice and I didn't need anyone telling me whom the voice belongs to."I am fine and you? I asked, sitting up on the bed, after hearing Darius's voice. I am okay now that I can hear from you, for my night was really bad". He says and I gasped in shock. No matter who is involved, I hate hearing that someone is having a bad day or had a bad day."Oh my gosh, what happened? "Wow! Look how shocked you sound, you really must have goodness in you, but the truth is that, I was thinking about you, all through yesterday and I didn't know what to do, I thought of calling you at that time of the night, but then I was reminded that the time is ungodl
