I want you

THREE YEARS AGO

REV MONTAGO

I sat at the bar, a drink in hand, thinking of my next interview.

I came from a poor background, it was just me, my sister and mother. 

According to her, our Dad was not alive.

So it was just us struggling to survive.

We didn't have much, but we were happy.

I wasn't really happy tho , I wasn't content with the sphere I found myself.

I was meant for great things,

And I could struggle to get to the top.

Exactly that moment was when she came in..

Hair flowing, bright smiles, eyes filled with warmth.

I could not help but notice how her skin glowed against the light in the bar.

She was not alone, she was with friends, and as she talked with them, her smile melted my heart.

I could not take my eyes off her.

I could not remember the things that weighed me down, I was lost in the beauty of her.

It radiated everywhere, and I could feel the warmness go through my chest.

I could not possibly be falling for her.

Thatt was what I found myself doing.

Falling for her smile, her charm, my chest tightened as I took another sip of whiskey.

I felt the burning sensation, as I watched her.

Commiting every act, every thing about her to memory.

When her eyes mine, it lingered on me, causing the warm feeling to intensify.

I swallowed, as she looked away to her friends, a smile on her lips.

What was happening to me?

My heart was thumping, and all I wanted was to stare at her.

Love at first sight.

I'd never really believed in it...

But at this moment, I believed that anything was possible...

She was mine, she was meant for me.

I could not go out of this bar, without taking her number.

How would I go about it?

I didn't know what to do or say, the only thing I knew was that I wanted this woman.

She'd ignited something in me...

And Everytime her eyes swept, over me, the feeling intensified.

Even if I'd not achieved much, having this woman, could equally amount to much more..

I would not let her or this chance go.

I stood up, and made my way towards her and her friends.

I took a chair, and joined them.

"Hi ladies" I smiled, my eyes darting from each of their faces to settle on the woman who had captured my heart.

She smiled back at me, and it melted my heart again.

Falling like this was not in my list 

Fuck, this woman was wrecking havoc on my heart..

"Hiii" I was drawn back to reality by her friends, they stared at me, a small smile on their faces.

"Uhm.. really sorry to interrupt.." I said, and right From that moment we all clicked

I fitted quite easily into the group, got to know their names.

Nothing was more impressive, than when she said her name.

"Allyssa" she looked at me with cute brown eyes.

"Lyssa" I called out, maintaining eye contact.

Her eyes were very beautiful.

I wanted to drown in them.

I was loosing it, 

And I didn't care.

Ren cleared her throat from beside me

"Now tell us Mr Rev Montago, are you in love with my friend? She asked, a small smile on her lips.

What have I done?

Did I make it too obvious?

They were all staring at me, smiles on their faces.

"It was really obvious, you've been concentrating on Lyssa only, and you want more than anything for us to dissapear"

I smiled, the redhead, had read my mind quite well.

"Okay, I like you Lyssa" I turned to her. 

"Right from the moment, I saw you step in, I couldn't get you off my head "

" Really..? Well thank you" she replied, breaking eye contact, that small smile on her lips were doing everything to my heart..

She really didn't think I could give up easily, I still was aware of the clap, the awws, coming from her friends....

I could not give up this woman.

So I continued,unfazed

" I want you.. "

"I really do" 

Her friends could not keep it down, but it didn't matter.

I knew what I wanted, and I wanted her.

"You want me, you like me, why?

" You make my heart skip like this, and you still question me"

"Smooth" Ren whispered from beside me.

"Keep going" she whispered.

I did just that...

"I'll tell you this, but cos of you I believe in first love, I want to be with you, I want to wife you"

I leaned closer, maintaining eye contact.

She looked at me, her brows furrowed.

I wasn't going to give up.

"Can I have your number?

" I don't give out my number " she replied.

"What now? Give up I guess" Ren tapped her hands on the table.

"It's about to start" Tia said..

"Camr here to watch the wrestling match, holding today" Ren replied..

" Well I'll participate in the game" I said and Ren smiled.

" If I win, you'll give me your number" 

Her eyes lingered on mine, I couldn't help but notice the blush on her cheek.

" You really won't participate in a game, and get beaten up, just to get my number?

" I would"

Her eyes widened, as I stood up.

The organizer was a few feet away, I joined him, enlisting my name..

What was I doing?

This could end up really bad, but I didn't care, I had to win this.

I didn't care about the bruises I ended up with, I just wanted her number really bad..

I watched as her and friends were engrossed in a conversation..

I noticed the way her eyes lit up as she stared at me.

My life wasn't on track, it was a mess, but I could do anything to keep this woman.

To make her look at me, to make her love me.

"Well it's Time" the announcer looked from me to five hefty men.
