THE DAY I MET HIM.(Part 8)

                .

       .. A Story by E PLUS the Storyteller

"Lanre, I really don't know what's happening, but you sound quite weird." I interrupted.

Lanre remained quiet for a moment, then he continued.

"Kelechi, we have been friends for so long, tell me you haven't felt anything for me, at some point." He said as he stared at me.

"Lanre, maybe I...

"You see? Maybe! Don't fight it! Let's give this a try..." Lanre exclaimed as he interrupted me.

Maybe I was just eager to return home so I decided to give a quick response.

"Lanre, there is no harm in giving a try, I don't see anything wrong with that anyway." I said. Immediately, there was a twinkle in his eyes as he stretched forward and held on to my hands, very warmly. 

  "Thanks for agreeing to be my woman, I know this is the beginning of a great relationship that would continue to blossom." Lanre expressed.

Well, I wasn't so sure he understood my response within the right context, however I was too tired to debate anything.

  "I guess we can leave now?" I said.

"Yes, if you are ready?" Lanre replied.

  In few minutes, we were on the way, home. The entire event of the day left me quite exhausted and I was ready to retire to bed.

The night was quite cold,a so a cup of coffee wasn't such a bad idea.

I laid on my bed and sipped my coffee with so much  thoughts running through my mind. For all there is, I was yet to come to terms with the reality that stared at me.

   My thoughts were interrupted by the sudden buzz of my phone, then I realised it was a call from Charles! I received  the call.

"Hello beautiful." He said.

"Hello, Charles." I responded.

"Hey, are you okay?" He asked, as I could perceive he had his suspicions.

"Yes, I'm fine." I quickly responded.

"Just want say good night." Charles added.

"Thanks, Charles." I replied.

"Hopefully, we can have dinner this weekend." Charles continued.

  

At that moment, I became very silent.
