ERRONEOUS WAY TO LOVE pt14

“Please i don’t want him to know that i’m
here” Linda held my left hand and pleaded
with frightened eyes, while i looked at her in
surprise as i equally searched her face,
“I will explain later but please don’t let him
come into your room” she added fearly,
_
“Don’t worry dear, i won’t” i assured her
with a smile…….
_
I finally opened my door half- way with a
fast beating heart, and blocked the entrance
with my body as i stared at David, who just
smiled sweetly at me like an innocent child,
_
“Hey dear how you dey?” he asked,
_
“I’m fine and busy with my assignments” i
replied,
_
“Can i come in? I promise not to disturb
you, i’m very bored and lonely in my room”
he asked with a smile, while i shook my
head,
_
“Please come some other time, i really want
to be alone” i answered with a serious look.
He smiled, shrugged and gave me a cold
look which really frightened me,
_
“okay i will come later in the evening” he
said before walking away, while i breathed
deeply,
_
“what is wrong with this boy?” i asked
myself…….
_
“Has he gone?” linda inquired curiously as
soon as i locked my door, while i smiled
and advanced towards her,
_
“Yes dear he has gone back to where he
came from” i replied with a smile, while She
breathed deeply,
_
“Thank God” i heard her mutter…….
_
“So dear i’m very eager to hear what you
came to discuss with me” i said curiously
as i sat beside her, but she just looked
away as if she wasn’t sure of herself any
more.
_
“I have the feeling David knows i’m here” i
heard her mutter with a lost voice. I drew
closer and rested my right hand on her left
shoulder,
_
“What is really going on and why are you so
scared of him?” i asked,
_
“I don’t think it’s important anymore i have
to get going” she said and stood up
suddenly, while i held her left hand
strongly, and pleaded with her,
_
“Please open up to me, i promise to keep
our discussion secret” i pleaded
desperately, even though i really didn’t
know what pushed me to do so……
_
She stared at me silently for a while, before
sitting on my bed again,
_
“I couldn’t help but notice how attached
and obsessed David have become over you,
do you have feelings for him?” she asked as
she looked into my eyes, while i instantly
was thrown into shock, confusion and
surprise, because i really didn’t know the
motive behind her question, whether she
asked it as a girlfriend, sister, solicitor or a
jealous stalker, but before i could get my
composure back, her phone rang… 
Her face coloured as she stared at her
ringing phone for a while before standing
up again,
_
“I better start going, we will talk some other
time” she muttered as she walked towards
my door, while i stared at her in silence,
because i really was very stunned, extremely
surprised and confused…..
_
She left my room without another word,
while i stood up, walked to my closed door,
locked it and returned to my bed, where i
lay with my thoughts before falling asleep
due to fatigue…….
_
I jolted from my bed around 7:30pm that
evening, prepared my night meal, freshened
up, and left for Samuel’s room. I walked
into his room with a tray of Garri and soup,
while he stared at me happily, when he
opened his door…..
_
“I thought you weren’t coming again” he
confessed, which equally made me smile.
_
“I was carried away by sleep oo” i explained
with a yawn,
_
“And where did it drop you?” he asked as he
brought a bowl of water,
_
“It dropped me on your head” i joked. He
laughed and washed his hands……
_
We ate silently that fateful evening because
we were very hungry, and he also never
asked about the friend whom i told him i
was expecting earlier in the day, which
really earned him a great deal of my
respect, even though i knew i wouldn’t have
been able to hold myself from asking, if i
was in his shoes……
_
We were soon done with the meal, which
finished quickly, and he then sat by my side
and waited upon me as i peeled oranges for
him,
_
“You really don’t know how much you have
changed my life and the kind of influence
you now have over me” he muttered
moments later, while i blushed.
_
“Seriously dear, you have redefined my life,
and i do owe you a lot for that. I know i’m
not romantic, but i’m trying my best to
learn, i promise to do everything within my
power to make you happy, i love you so
much” he poured out to me, while my hands
shook slightly…
_
He reached for the orange i held with my
left hand, took it from my grasp, knelt by
my side and gave me a nice hug…..
_
I trembled under the hotness of his tight
hug and it was as if a thousand volts of
love had hit me. He drew up my face and
stared into my eyes,
_
“Oh baby i wish you could feel how my
heart is beating for you” he muttered,
_
“I wish you could feel how i’m trembling
inside because of you” i said to myself……
_
I really wished for something more closer
from him other than the regular hug, but it
doesn’t seem coming. This made a part of
me happy and another part of me sad. But
still doesn’t change my feelings for him.
“I think i’m in love with a saint here” I said
to myself.
