Chapter 19

Fortune was at a loss for words. Asia walked out of her room with a piece of paper that had a list of the things needed. " you hit my friend when she was on her way to get these groceries and because of you running her over, she couldn't get them so you have to get them and you better not leave out anything" Asia spoke in a commanding tone. Ashley sighed and nodded, he just had to do it even though he has never bought groceries in his life, at least he had the list on a paper which would make things a little easier. He took the paper and walked out. Asia chuckled and looked at her friend, "I hope he doesn't run away". "You can be troublesome at times, why bother the young man like that". Asia just laughed and knew she had gone a little too far but still, he run over her friend so he had to be nice, what if it had been a serious accident,what if her friend died on the spot. oh no she couldn't let it go just like that. "Fortune what's happening between you and Brandon, did you argue?" fortune smiled bitterly and had to explain the whole situation. Asia was shocked "but me and Chris have never been intimate despite knowing each other for so many years and he told me he would wait untill I was ready so what came over Brandon all of the sudden?" fortune shook her head sadly, "I don't know, I remember making things clear to him and he said he would wait and give me time untill I was ready but this behavior, I don't know if all along he had been pretending and only agreed to what I told him just to coerce me into dating him". Asia abruptly answered as though she had made a discovery "that's it! that's it!, this guy was pretending or maybe he thought you would change your decision soon".

"Asia, people are different and have different perspectives on how they take things. maybe he believes he must be intimate with a girl as long as they are in a relationship. Remember that we all can never be the same, we are only half of the same, we think differently and even if two people have alot in common, they can never have everything in common. having alot in common doesn't mean that both of them like the same things or think in the same way towards certain things". Asia concurred to what her friend said, it's true that we are just half of the same and not the same."so what's your conclusion? will you give him what he wants to save your relationship or you will probably break up? we both know that even if he hasn't yet given you an ultimatum, this is exactly where your relationship is, he hasn't even bothered to check up on you for almost five days now so it's obvious you have to make a decision". Fortune was silent for a few seconds and replied "firstly, I blame him for not being honest in beginning, just to get me to accept him, he lied saying he understood me and that he would give me time untill I was ready. the foundation of this was built upon fantasies, he had his own thoughts and I had mine. I on the other hand thought we were moving at the same pace but it was fake. He had been pretending all this while and it feels like I never knew him, every single good thing he did, was not because he wanted to but because he had an expectation. in short he was hoping that after being good towards me in such a short period of time, I would change my mind and give in. I even thought I found the best boyfriend I could ever find but it was never real".
