Me: Get out!!

Evans: calm down babe

Me: Don't you dare Babe me, I want you out of here now!! and I'd leave if I were you, when I'm still asking nicely

Is everything alright ma? Miriam(my other girl) ran over

Me: Yes, I just want him out

I pointed at Evans

Miriam: but ma, we can't send him out, he's a paying customer

She pleaded

Me: I don't care if he wants to buy the café and everything in it, I just want him out of this place

I barked, attracting looks from customers

Ma, please take it easy, people are watching, abigail who was viewing from afar ran over

Me: they can watch if you want, I don't care, he just needs to leave

But ma, they chorused

Evans: it's okay, I'll be leaving now

He got up straightening his suit, then turned to girls, “ thanks for your service” he smiled but they just gave a panicked smile in return

“ it's nice to meet you again Liz, Evans turned to smile at me

“ I wish I can say same about you I spat, disgust lacing my tone

He nodded and walked away

I dismissed the girls to their various jobs and went back to mine. Not feeling like it anymore, I excused myself and left for the day, but not without passing out instructions to my workers


George: Hi baby, everything alright?

Me: Of course why wouldn't it be?

George: you're calling by this time, so I thought something had happened

Me: everything is fine, just feeling light headed so I'm home

I lied, I didn't want to tell him I met my ex because I know it won't end well

George: Are okay, do you need to got to the hospital?

Me: no no no, I'm Fine, just gonna rest is all

George: Are you sure? I can come take you if you want

Me: yea, I'm fine, I'll just sleep it off. I just wanted to hear your voice

George: alright, take care..... I love you

Me: me too

I hung up, rubbing circles round my temple feeling a headache coming along. Maybe I do need the rest after all, I yawned going up to my room

After what felt like minutes, I was awoken by a yelling Mimi,

Liz, are you home?

I groaned and sat up, holding my head in my hands, just then Mimi barged in

Mimi: what is going on babe? I went to the café and they said you left hours ago

Me: please calm down Mimi, I feel like my heads gonna explode

I groaned

Mimi: what's going on?

Me: headache

“Hold on, I'll go get pain killers, then she left and later came back in with pain killers and a glass of water and handed it to me

I drank and she made me go back to sleep whilst she goes to prepare dinner

I woke up feeling much better. I went down and met Mimi chewing on a carrot

Me: Is that what we're having for dinner

I mocked

Mimi: ha ha, very funny. It's like you're feeling better since you can now throw a joke

Me: yea, I am

Mimi: Good, now come on let's eat, I'm starved

She went in brought the food and we ate in silence, till she broke it

Mimi: so, what's up, I went to the café, but Abigail said you left after yelling at some dude

Me: it's nothing

She dropped her spoon and looked up at me

Mimi: it didn't feel like nothing when the girls explained it, what's going on Liz

Knowing she's probably drilling a hole through my head with her stare, I avoided her gaze

Me: it's nothing really, just drop it

Mimi: no I'm not gonna drop it, tell me what's going on, what happened?

With the way it's going, she probably won't drop it until I fess up

I saw Evans, I spoke up, which came out more like a whisper than I intended. He was the customer I yelled at, I finished but Mimi remained mute

“ well, I looked up at her

Mimi: wow

A bit confused by her reply

Me: wow?

Mimi: yea wow, your ex that dumped you years ago through text coincidentally comes to your café. That's just wow.

Me: you know what? I just lost my appetite, I think I'm gonna go rest some more

I got angered by her reacting like it's no big deal

Mimi: I'm so sorry

She got up and walked over to me

Mimi: it's just, I didn't know what to say, I'm sorry I upset you.

I nodded and we both sat down

Mimi: so what are you going to do?

Me: I don't know

Mimi: so, why did you get so angry, back at the café

Me: I don't know, it's just, when I saw him, all those emotions I buried deep down a long time ago just came crashing, and I just felt so angry and I just wanted to punch him hard on the face and and and...... I broke into sobs

He hurt me so bad Mimi

I know, I know,she pulled me in for a hug,sssssh, she cooed, don't cry, it's gonna be alright. Everything will be alright, she chanted......

Okay guys, this chapter is gonna be a bit of half and half, I'm gonna throw in a bit of a guy's point of view along the way. Guess whose...........


There are days when you think the universe is messing with you, like when the weather is clear as when your about to leave the house, and you don't need an umbrella and then the rain starts pouring half way to your destination and you having no way to escape it, or how you wish that ásshole ex of yours gets mysteriously hit by a bus and dies instantly or ends up with someone that ruins their life and they regret hurting you, but no, they get to live perfect lives, having beautiful kids and making sure the whole world knows they're very happy by posting pics on social medias

Okay, I know I'm being bitter and I shouldn't wish death for my ex but I also didn't expect him to corner me, and expect me to listen to him, and is still is gorgeous self. Why is the universe so cruel? How can someone look as though he came out from a fashion magazine without even trying and the rest of us be looking like shít but trying so hard to hide it

I admit, ever since the café incident with Evans, I've been trying so hard to avoid him. I don't think I can face him without trying to rip his face off

Me: Get out of my way Evans

I gritted out

Evans: No, not until you hear me out

I got angered and slapped him across the face but he didn't flinch

Me: you don't get to talk to me, so get out of my way, cause there's many more where that came from

Evans: I guess I deserved, but please ba- Lizzy, I just wanna make things right, just hear me out

Me: Save it for someone who cares, okay? you got want you wanted,didn't you? you took my virginity and lied straight to my face that you loved me, and dumping me through a text? That was low, you could have at least grown some bálls and done it like a man. I'm done here so get out of my way now

He stepped out of the way for me, looking like i touched a nerve. I walked out feeling glad I finally got it out. I gotta admit that felt good, finally spitting it out, but something still bugged me

Me: I gotta ask

I stopped and turned to face him

Me: Was I really that bad? I know you probably didn't love me *I laughed menacingly , but did you ever feel anything for me? Anything........




Evans POV

I stood there looking at her, Gód she still looked beautiful as always.

When I first entered the café weeks ago, and then she came up to me take my order, my heart literally almost burst outta my chest. I never thought I'd ever get to see her again after all I put her through. I thought never getting to see her is the universe's way of punishing me.

I stood there, watching her pour her heart out for all the pain I caused her, and it hurt so bad. Then she walked away and stopped to ask the question that gave me sleepless nights

“Did I ever feel anything for her?”

I wanted to grab, and press her close to me, wanted to make her feel the way my heart's beating cause of her, how my heart feels like it's about to blow cause she's standing in front of me. I wanted to tell her how I never stopped loving her, how it's the only thing that kept me going. But the words never came out

Lizzy: right, and that's I needed to hear

Her lips quivered when she spoke

Lizzy: Thanks, for at least being honest with me.

“ Stay the héll away from me, she said and walked away, her eyes glassy with un shed tears.

“ You stupid idiot” the voice in my head nagged, you saw her and you let her go again without telling her, but I stood rooted to the ground unable to move, unable to grab a hold of her and pull in for a hug and never let her go

I let her walk away again and I regret it more than ever........

“Welcome Ma, Abigail ran up to greet me as I entered the café

I'll be inside if anyone needs me, I walked past a confused Abigail

Usually when I came in for the day I stop to look around and put things in place, but today I didn't feel like it after the confrontation with Evans earlier, my mood turned sour

Although my heart keeps telling me otherwise, I knew it was too good to be true. I was young and naive and a love struck idiot and he just toyed with my feelings

“okay Ma, Abigail replied and I just nodded not even turning to look at her

The day dragged on and I just wished it would just end so I can go home and hug my pillow

“ Hi hi, Mimi peered her head through my opened office

Me: Hi

Not looking away from what I was doing

Mimi: okay, someone's in the mood what's going on?

Me: oh nothing, just met my ex,and realised the douché was never in love with me, and our whole relationship was one sided so, yipee

I waved my hands in the air

Mimi: he said he wasn't in love with you?

Me: he didn't say he was, so I took a hint

Mimi: it didn't seem like it when you guys were together

Me: Mimi please drop it, I don't wanna talk about it anymore

Mimi: okay. So why haven't you been out, the girls said you've been in here all day

Me: wasn't feeling it I guess

Mimi: well, that's gonna have to change, cause they need you out there. Now come come on

She pulled me up from my chair and led me out to the café

After a while, we packed up and went home together

Mimi: hey, what's up with George, I haven't heard from him for a while

Mimi questioned when we got home

Me: he's just busy with work

I defended, but she did have a point, he hasn't been coming around like he usually does. And just then the door bell rang

Mimi turned to look at me

Mimi: are we expecting anyone?

I shrugged and went to open the door

And there stood George with a bouquet of flowers in his hands

“hey stranger I smiled and hugged him and he he handed me the bouquet

What's the occasion? I smiled sniffing the flowers

“just because, he smiled giving me a kiss on my temple

Come on in Mimi's cooking

We both sat on the dinning and seconds later I was on his lap and we were having a fierce make out session

“oh please do get a room”, we both turned to see Mimi setting the food down,

I'm really hungry and I would love to keep the food in my stomach not hurl it out she joked

George smiled and bent his head obviously embarrassed and I just mouthed a sorry at a smirking Mimi and went back to my seat

Dinner was fun, with us sharing how our day went, and I left out the part where I met Evans, cause I didn't want to ruin it

George bade us goodbye and left minutes after dinner. And so Mimi and I cleared up and went to bed

The rest of the week was pretty uneventful, with the normal routine of café and then back home with Mimi


***********

I came out of the office one day the girls were whispering with Mimi, but immediately they saw me, she both scattered leaving Mimi alone avoiding my gaze

Me: okay what was that about?

Mimi: oh nothing

She waved her hands, still avoiding my gaze

Me: are you sure it's nothing

Mimi: of course the girls were just talking about work, that's all

She said in a high pitch

Me: you're lying Mimi

Mimi: wh what? No I'm not not

Still high pitched

Me: spill it

Mimi: fine, come on girls, she has to know

The girls walked down, looking at each other

Me: so?

Mimi: okay, so, you see that company across

She pointed at the ginourmous company across

Me: yea?

Mimi: Evans is the CEO

She blurted out

Me: what?

I blinked rapidly

Me: what do mean he's the CEO? I've never seen him there before

Miriam: yes that's because he was transferred recently

Me: and you know this, how?

Miriam: okay, so, I was coming to work one day and I saw him entering the office and I recognised him as the guy you yelled at the other day, so I asked a friend of mine that works there who he is, and she she said he's the new CEO, his father handed over the company to him after his return from the states.

She finished clasping her hands together

Me: wow

They looked at themselves and then back at me

Me: he was in the states huh?

She nodded, and I turned to look at Mimi, who had a pitiful look on her face

Me: well, good for him

I shrugged and walked away, and Mimi followed after me while the girls went back to their work

Mimi: are you okay?

Me: of course

I smiled and took a seat back in my office and Mimi did same

Mimi: Izz?

Me: I'm fine Mimi, really. So he dumped me for the states good for him, I don't care

Mimi: if you're really okay then, why haven't you told George about you talking to him

Me: cause it's no big deal and I hate him and don't want him anywhere close to george

Mimi: Izz?

Me: Mimi, seriously

Mimi: okay, I hope you know what your doing. Meanwhile, I better go down, Sarah(the baker) is teaching me to bake

Me: are the extinguishers still working fine?

Mimi: yea, why?

Me: oh nothing, good luck

Mimi: very funny, and you know, one of these days I'm gonna bake something really nice

Me: fingers crossed we don't die yet

I laughed, and she huffed and walked away with me still laughing


~Two days later~

Ma? Abigail knocked on my office door,

Abigail: I'm so sorry to bother you ma, but someone's here to see you

Me: it's no bother at all, and I'll be right down

Abigail: okay ma

Then she left

I walked out to see and handsome gentleman in suit

Me: hello

I smiled

Me: you wanted to see me?

He turned to look at me

Stranger: wow, he wasn't kidding when he said you're beautiful

Me: excuse me?

Stranger: I'm so sorry, I'm not weird I promise. I'm Henry

He extends his hand for a handshake

Me: I'm Lizzy

I shook his hand

Henry I know

Me: okay? how.......

Henry: Evans..... he's the reason I'm here

Me: Look, Henry is it?

Henry: yea, I'm friends with Evans by the way

He winked

Me: okay, this is stupid, I really have nothing to do with Evans, so, I'm sorry but, I'm not interested

Henry: He's not doing really well, he's not been himself lately

Me: not my problem, so if you'll excuse

I turned to walk away, but he grabbed my hand

Henry: I'm sorry

He let go, when I turned to look at him

Henry: it's just that, he really needs to talk to you, he's a mess, and I haven't seen him so distraught ever since.......

He drifted, as if thinking back

Henry: look, point is, you have to talk to him before he hurts himself

Me: like I said, not my problem, so if we're done here, I've got things to do

I turned back and started walking away

Henry: do you even know why he left you seven years ago?

Me: yea, as a matter of fact I do,I was naive and stupid and he got what he wanted, and when he was done he left and that is the end of it, and so is this conversation

Henry: he left because, he loved you so much he almost died

He half yelled

I stopped dead on my tracks and turned to look at the man standing before, he didn't seem like the same corky man from minutes ago, but like someone who cares deeply for his friend

Me: what are you talking about?

I frowned

Henry: you might wanna sit down

He gestured to an empty seat

I looked around to check on the girls and they're were all busy going around

Me: okay

I took the seat and looked up at him to continue

Henry: if he knows I told you this, he'd probably kill me but.......

He paused to look at me

Henry: Evans had cancer.........

Re: Love Really Is Strange by Lilyjoe567(f): 6:33pm On Mar 05, 2017
I stood there looking at the very big firm in front of me. Okay, I didn't think this through, I turned and started walking away, but stopped. I came here for a reason, I urged myself and marched in, my emotions all over the place

“He almost died cause of you”. Henry's words kept repeating in my head, my mind drifting to the conversation between Henry and i

“Wh what do you mean he had cancer I stuttered?


“Lizzy.......he tried to calm me down

“what do you mean he got cancer I repeated, getting up my seat

Henry: Lizzy, you need to calm down

Me: I am calm, just tell me

I yelled

Henry: okay, just please sit down atleast

I obeyed and sat, staring at him like he just told me the world is coming to an end

Henry: he got diagnosed with cancer of the spleen. Though it was rare,but since it was discovered earlier the chances of survival was 50/50 he didn't take it too well because he thought about you, you were the best thing that happened to him Lizzy

He paused to look at me, but my face was void of emotions

Henry: his parents urged him to go to the states for treatment but he refused, because he didn't want to leave you, he agreed to undergo, chemotherapy and take his chances here in Nigeria just so he'll be with you.

Everything was going great, he was responding well to chemo, well, that was until his body started rejecting it, he didn't tell anyone, cause that would mean flying him out. Then he got really bad that I had to make him move back home and to tell you about it, but he couldn't tell you,he knew you were gonna get hurt. He later decided to tell you but couldn't, but broke up with you instead so as to make you think he's a bad guy than let you see him go through pain, but collapsed when he got home. The doctors said the tumour was spreading and needs to be operated on fast, so he was flown out. He almost didn't make it......

He turned away

“he really loved you Lizzy” he turned back to look at me

“where are you going? He yelled but I was already half way out the café



Receptionist: Hi, how may I help you?

Me: I'm here to see the CEO

Receptionist: okay? Do you have an appointment?

Me: yea

I lied,i couldn't afford to be sent out

Receptionist: okay, it's on the fifth floor

She smiled. I smiled, thanked her and walked away

It's on the fifth floor, how hard can it be to locate right? I thought, just then there was a ding sound and the elevator doors opened. I stepped out and was amazed at the beauty of the place but was in no mood to admire it, as I walked straight ahead with one thing alone in mind. And then there it was in big bold letters “CEO” on a door

I walked on failing to see the lady sitting on a desk

“ excuse me, can I help you? She frowned

I turned to look at her, she's really pretty

“ I'm sorry, I'm here to see the Evans

“ then you have go through me first, she spit out as already bored with the conversation or maybe she just doesn't like my presence

I'm his secretary, she replied. Do you have an appointment

Not willing to be escorted out

“ No, I blurted out, but I really need to see him it's really important I pleaded

“ I'm sorry but you need to leave he's really busy,and can't see just anyone. You can come back later with an appointment, she finished and turned back to computer

“ you don't understand I really have to see him, please

“ I'm sorry, but I'm gonna have to ask you to leave before I call security

I nodded and turned to leave but decided against it and walked right past her and barged into his office and saw him sitting behind his desk


“ Why didn't you tell me Evans? I yelled........

I walked past the secretary who was busy typing away in her computer and went straight ahead to his office. If she won't let me see him when I was being nice, heck, being nice just got overrated.

I walked on ignoring the calls from the secretary till I got to the door and barged in.

“ Why didn't you tell me Evans, I yelled

Just then the secretary came in limping a bit cause of the heels she was wearing. I felt bad for her cause she she had to run with it trying to stop me

Secretary: I'm so sorry Sir, I tried to stop her but she didn't listen

She tried pulling me out but I slapped her hands away never looking away from Evans, and he was doing same to me

Evans: it's okay Dora, you can leave, it's fine

She nodded and turned to look at me, if looks could kill, I'd probably be six feet under, but I didn't flinch because I came here for a reason

I turned back to look at Evans, the thought of how much he must surferred, how much pains he must have gone through kept playing in my head, and not wanting to hurt me? I felt more angry thinking about it, just then the door banged startling me out of my thoughts

Evans: I'm sorry,

He smiled

Evans: Dora has quite the temper. Have a seat

He rose to his feet, ushering me the empty seat across his desk

Me: why didn't you tell me?

I snapped, still looking intensely at him

Evans: about what?

His brows furrowed

Me: you had cancer Evans, why didn't you tell me?

Evans: wait, how did you.......

He stopped, his facials tightening all of a sudden.

Henry....he muttered

Me: yes Henry, why didn't you tell me Evans?

Evans: tell you what exactly?

He snapped

Evans: that, hey, I have cancer and there's a 50 percent chance I'll not survive it, but no big deal. Is that what you wanted to hear?

Me: that is not fear, I was your girlfriend, I deserved to know

He scoffed

Evans: really? You deserved to know that I was gonna die, what difference would it have made

Me: I know but......

Evans: I was losing my hair, damn it. I had to wear caps, but I bet you didn't even notice did you?

Me: that is not fair Evans, you can't throw throw that at me

But he did have a point, how come I never noticed? I was always with him

Evans: it isn't? Tell me Lizzy, how long did it take for you to run off to another guy after our break up

Me: no, you don't get to go there, you dumped me remember, and through a text

I cried out

Evans: I was trying to protect you

Me: I didn't need protection Evans.i just needed you, I just needed you close to me, I just needed you to tell me what was going on with you

Evans: I guess, life doesn't always work out the way we want, now does it

Me: your right

I nodded

Me: life doesn't always work out the way we want. Have a nice life Evans

And with that I turned to walk out of his office, the tears I've been trying so hard to hold back, rolling freely down my cheeks.

I banged the door and seconds later heard something crash in his office and th secretary got up and ran towards the office throwing me a piercing stare

I ran down the stairs and cried my eyes out, thinking back at all the good times we shared together, the way he made me laugh, the way his eyes twinkle whenever he sees me happy, the way he held me close when I told him about my parents. How when I was being mad at him for breaking up with me, he was probably in so much pain. It was all too much, and it hurts, I grabbed my chest wishing someone could just take it all away. It was all too much to bear. I cried until my eye lids felt heavy



I walked out the building using the back of my palm to dry the remains of my tears, pulled out my phone from my pocket and dialled his number. After the third ring he answered

George: Hi sweety

Me: Hi

My voice coming out hoarse cause of the all the crying I did

George: Baby are you okay? we're you crying?

I nodded but felt silly cause he can't see me

Me: yea, I'm fine

George: are you sure? Cause you don't sound it. I'm coming over

Me: no no, I'm fine now, really

George: were you crying

Me: yea

I felt a stray tear roll down my cheeks, but wiped it off immediately

George: wanna talk about it

Me: no, it's not important

George: it made you cry, baby. Seems pretty important to me

Me: you're right, I'll tell you when you get off

George: okay

Me: I want to up the wedding

George: what?

Me: I know I said we should wait for a bit, but I want it now

George: ar are you sure, I can wait if you want

Me: I am sure, I love you and that's all that matters

George: okay, I love too, but we'll talk about it later okay?

Me: okay


I hung up and started towards the café. Everything's gonna be okay I chanted in my head......
