FLASH BACK ENDS
PRESENT TIME
MAX POV
“Am sorry for every thing Nick, I never should have said those things to you, I should have forgiven you right away but my stupid pride got the best of me”
“Jack told me that I would regret it and I did regret it, am so sorry Nick and I hope that wherever you are you are fine and you are happy “I said as I wiped off the few tears that fell from my eyes
I turned to see Andrea at the end of the tree,waiting for me and I smile gently
“She is the girl I love now, I would have like to introduce her to you but I can’t , I haven’t told her that i Iike her yet, when she is my girlfriend,we will both come back to see you, for now good bye”I said as I stood up .
I turned to see Andrea running towards me holding some flowers
“I picked this up at the little garden over there”she said as she bent to put it on Nick grave.
“How do you feel after speaking to your brother”she asked
“I feel good and it’s all thanks to you”I said as I held her hand
“Oh don’t say that, I just wanted to do some thing for you, you always seemed sad whenever you think of him,have seen you crying in the garden ……..oh I shouldn’t have said that”she said covering her mouth and I smiled at her cuteness
“I didn’t mean to spy on you,it was sheer coincidence that I walk into the garden only to see you crying”
“Some how I wanted to help you but you were so cold to me that I stayed away but today am glad that I managed to do something for you” she said
“Would it be too much if I asked for a hug from you right now” I said and at first I thought she would refuse but she walked straight into my arms and gave me the hug I needed
“You have always given me a shoulder to lean on, I will give you mine today” she said as she held me tightly.
I stood in her arms savouring this moment with her.
This day will forever be cherished by me, I thought as I held her tighter.
HIGH SCHOOL: Chapter 21 – 30
ANDREA POV
“Isn’t that too much” I asked as I stared at the large chunk of food he was ordering
“What? Are you complaining because you are the one buying it?”he asked
“Of course not, am just thinking about your health”I said quickly as I watched him order for more.
How did I get myself into this, I should have just made him pay his food for himself but instead i had told him that the food was on me and that he should order any thing he want.
He did order but it’s more than what I expect, I thought as I bit into my own little food
“Can I get more juice”he said to the waiter and gently I took my wallet and checked the money in it.
If mom should find out that I have used up my food allowance for the week, she will kill me, I thought sadly
How can some one as thin as him eat like a horse, I thought as I kept on starring at him
Suddenly he look at me and I gave me a smile.
Go$h that smile did it, I thought as I told him to eat more.
If one is Inlove, you do crazy things, that thought came to me as I payed for the food with all my money.
“Did I eat too much!”he asked as we both left the restaurant
“You didn’t eat much”I said softly
“Why don’t we get some ice cream, am craving for one right now”he said
“No! No let’s not get one, I don’t have enough money for that?”I said
“Don’t worry it’s on me”he said as he took my hand and walked me to the ice cream shop.
“Do we still have much for a taxi?”Max asked
“I don’t have money for a taxi”i said
“And I don’t have too”he replied
“So then that leaves us with the bus”
“What? Am not getting on that, have never used a bus before” he said
“Well there is a first time for every thing”I said as I pulled his hand
“Hurry or we will be late for the bus that will take us home”I said.
We got to the bus stop on time and got in when the bus showed up.
I took him to the back seat and we both sat down
“Enjoy your first bus ride”I said giving him a smile
“I think I will pass the enjoyment”he said
“Why?”
“Cause this thing is horrible, just look at the interior, the dirtyness, is this what you had to go through for years?”he asked looking horrified
“It’s not that bad Max and it’s the only transport I could afford”I said
“Well I don’t want you on buses again, you are to always follow me to school from now on, I can’t trust this bus to keep you safe from getting infected” he said and I smiled
Just knowing that he is worried about me made me feel happy.
“Okay boss”I replied happily
“Can you lend me your phone?”I asked
“What for?”
“I just want to see if Beatrice has sent the picture”
“What about your phone?”he asked
“I don’t have a phone okay, I sold my phone a long time ago and am yet to buy another”I said
“How can you live without having a phone”he asked as he brought out his phone.
“I can live as long as there is some thing as borrowing”I said poking out my tongue at him.
Quickly I texted Beatrice on Facebook and she sent me the pictures that I needed.
It was the picture of the guy she was hooking me up with.
She had begun the task of getting me a boyfriend when she knew that I was single.
I told her not to worry but Beatrice being Beatrice made it known to me that she wouldnt give up.
I would have been enthusiastic about this hook up few weeks back but now I can’t be because I know who my heart lies for ,I thought as I stared at Max.
But it’s best that I should go on this hook up, to see if it’s really Max that I love, I thought as I kept on starring at the guy.
“Who is he?”Max asked as he moved close to me
“Well he is the guy I will be meeting tomorrow”I said
“Tomorrow? Why?”he asked
“Well it’s a sort of blind date, Beatrice prepared it for me and I can’t say no”I said
“You can’t or you don’t want to?”he replied snatching his phone from me
“Hey! I haven’t finished using it”I said
“Find someone else phone to use to chat with this blind date guy of yours”
“There you go again,being the cold hearted jerk”I said
“How am I being a jerk?”he asked
“I don’t know, leave me alone”I said as I stared out side through the window.
“Have it then,use it to do whatever you want”he said softly.
Feeling happy,I took it from him and continued with my chat with Beatrice, she told me that the guy has sent me a message and quickly I checked it.
“I can’t believe this! He is already chatting with me”I said softly
“Then chat back with him ” Max said lamely and I gave him a glance
“What kind of place should I suggest that we go to on a date?”I asked
“Why ask me that?”he asked
“You see have been so been trying to live up to the rich life that have never had a boyfriend, all this is new to me and that’s why I need a relationship expert like you”I said
“And how do you know that am a relationship expert”he asked
“Because you are well known with girls, tell me please,where can we have this date”I asked
“Some where open, like the park ,the zoo or maybe the sea”he said
“Those are the places we visited today, am going to go with the cinema house”I said as sent him the message
“But aren’t cinema to cozy, I mean you just met this guy”he said
“The more we get to know each other, the better”I said as I gave him smile
“You are just so impossible”he muttered
“I’m not”I replied sending him a smile
“Ahhhhh…………am feeling sleepy, I want to sleep” he said as he gently put his head on my shoulders
“What are you doing?”I asked
“Trying to get some sleep, wake me up when we get to our destination”he said
“Max I ………”
“I lend you my phone, you lend me your shoulders”he said softly and I couldn’t push him away or to even continue to use his phone because my heart wouldn’t calm down by having him close to me.
Is this really how love is.
