A Short Love Story by Suspect33(m): 8:56pm On Nov 27, 2014
Laura couldn't believe it,,, she just
saw Uchenna walk out on her.
Could this mean the end of a
blossoming five year relationship?
Dave was just a friend but
Uchenna would not want to hear
her out.
Her stuttering explanations fell on
deaf ears..
Well...
Dave had been pestering on her
but she just couldn't cave in.
She can't afford to.
But that wednesday afternoon
was a disaster. Uchenna arrived
at her office just when Dave was
at it again.
Getting home with her heart not
at peace, Laura tried to reach
Uchenna's phone line many times
without an answer.
Her heart got panting...
She just didn't know what to do...
Immediately, she held up her
Blackberry phone and laced her
fingers over the QWERTY keys
while she typed series of
explanations in texts messages,
hoping to pacify Uche's heart. But
yet, no answer from him.
Pheew!
She's losing it now,,, sweating all
over.
What in the world is all these?
Laura had turned down big
prospective suitors for her love;
Uchenna.
She just can't believe she would
lose all of it like this.
She has invested all her emotions
into it all. Oh that heaven would
fall.
"No, it can't happen", she swore
with her teary eyes.
She just couldn't take it.
She had to call up Betty, her best
friend, who came to her house
shocked at how devastated Laura
seemed to be.
Betty was just scared that Laura
may not survive this onslaught.
Her break up with Harry, her ex,
almost caused a great harm to
her.
After Laura had told her what
transpired that day, she decided
to call Uchenna with her own line
to help explain to him.
But No... The line was now
switched off.
It wasn't just easy for Laura and
her friend.
"This is not a time to cry, Laura"
Betty kept assuring her as she
tried to force her to eat the food
she just prepared, but Laura had
already lost appetite.
This wasn't going to be easy for
both friends.
It was already 6.pm when Laura's
phone beeped.
Quickly, she rushed her phone
and it was Uchenna's text
message,,, He had told her to
meet him immediately at the
Orange room executive lounge,
right away.
"Oh, thank God",
she sighed as she picked up her
phone and went to the bathroom
to freshen up.
Betty could only watch helplessly
as her consolatory words had
fallen on deaf ears all along.
Minutes after, Laura was ready to
move.
Betty dropped her off with her
car,
And after some minutes, She was
in the premises of Orange room.
With few steps, she had made her
way into the executive lounge
where she met her hearthrob.
Oh, how softly her heart melted
when she beheld the dark tall
Uchenna whom she had fought
all years to hold on to.
"Sit down"
Uche beckoned on her.
"Thank you"
she replied, while awaiting him to
bring up the topic of what
happened earlier in the day.
She was ready to swear to her
love that she doesn't have
anything to do with Dave, her
colleague.
She was ready for anything, just
to prove her innocence.
But Uche never raised the topic
again,,, and that tortured Laura so
badly.
He tactically kept asking her what
she would eat and how her day
went.
Laura's voice kept shaking as she
kept wishing in her heart, "Oh
Lord, let this not be a break-up
dinner".
She just couldn't think of it.
She won't love again if it
happens.
Oh Lawwd!
Then suddenly, the waiter came
down to Laura and gave her a
parcel, telling her that a certain
man outside told him to give it to
her.
Whaaaaattttt
Shocked,,, Laura refused to take
the parcel while insisting that the
waiter take the parcel back to the
owner.
But Uchenna, wasn't comfortable
with that.
He sternly insisted that Laura
takes it and open it right there.
Oh my God !!!
"Who could this be now?,,, Why is
today so horrific for me" Laura
mustered under her breathe...
She looked at Uche and saw what
looked like fury on his face,,, She
has never seen her honey-pie so
furious like this.
First, it was Dave,,,
Now, this ananimous man?,,,
She grabbed the parcel and
opened it slowly, while
intermittently looking at Uche's
curious face.
She was simply sorry.
Sorry for what?
A well designed card was all she
found in the parcel.
Confused, she sat still, not
knowing what next to do.
Uche still insisted that she opens
the card and check what's
written there.
Oh my...
"If this guy wrote anything
indicting here, I'm finished"
Laura reasoned...
Opening the card, she was
stunned at the words scribbled
on it;
"Laura dear, I just can't continue
to be your boyfriend any
Re: A Short Love Story by Suspect33(m): 9:01pm On Nov 27, 2014
boyfriend anymore.... I,
Uchenna, strongly believes that it
should all end here, dear"
Then below the card read;
"Would you marry me?"
Shocked and confused,,, She
looked at Uche's face and back
again to what she just read.
Her mouth wide open,
What could be happening?
Looking back at Uche's face
again,
she now saw his smiling face as
he stood up and walked towards
her and knelt before her, bringing
out his ring and proclaimed;
"Baby, would you be my wife?"
Oh God, This is not true !!!
Laura couldn't hold back her tears
as she cried and fell into Uche's
waiting arms and hugged him so
tightly.
Then she whispered into his ears;
"Yes Uche, I would marry you,
dear. I would be your woman,
your wife".
Oh, she just couldn't believe that
her day would finally end this
sweetly.
Oh Love..
Oh Life..
Then, Uchenna brought forth her
left hand and slotted in the ring
into her middle finger.
They kissed....
and hugged...
and laughed
and
and and
and and and
and and... Erm
erm erm erm erm ,,,,
I have forgotten what else to
write. Hehehehe
