Love Really Is Strange by Lilyjoe567(f): 4:01pm On Nov 27, 2016
Hey guys!
So I wanna start a story and i'm really hoping u guys give it a chance. U guys might find it a bit childish,but it gets better.
Got d inspiration in church,its either writing or sleeping would've picked d later bt that'll be embarrasing and all cuz I'm in d choir nd all eyes are on me,so here goes nothing.

Another thing,the story you're about to read is fictional blah blah blah nd well, its mine so plz dont try to steal it or whatnot, cuz that'd be very bad nd I'll probably sue u for everything u own(just kidding),or I'm I?..........cue evil laugh...mua hahahahahaha

P.s constructive criticism is allowed but if u wanna be mean just don't.

Enjoy....

Chapter 1,

Hey! Liz here,or u can just call me Lizzy or Elizabeth, my mom does,although its a mouthful hence d nickname but my bestfriend calls me liz or izz,hold on I'm i saying this out loud? Point is I'm Liz nd I'm well, different, mom says I'm special but who are we kidding....
Mom's a single mom nd I'm d only child nd you do not wanna ask your single working class mom who strives to put food on d table nd single handedly training a child abt your father cuz sometimes all I get are blank stares nd a lecture of how she pushed me out of her womb nd have been training me all my life nd sometimes she just says he left nd then there's occasional tears nd cuz I hate seeing my mom cry,I drooped it,turns out he was a drunkard who got hit by a car(nd died on d spot)when he dumped my mom nd I when I was 2 mnths old,crude right? Yea I know.
So I'm d weird girl who talks to herself cuz honestly who best to give genuine advice than yourself right?

Miracle: hey Liz! You're not dead yet?

Liz: there's always tomorrow you know......

That's Miracle,my best friend, my mom says d big guy up there(God)just looked down at her nd said,one weird person is not enough in your life,you need two nd so she got my bestfrnd nd we like to think we're special, others just think we're crazy nd sometimes I think they got a point.

Miracle: so? Where are we having it? My offer still stands u know

Me: and have your giants stare at me like I need a hug(all d time)nd like my craziness is rubbing off on u? No thank u

Miracle: suit yourself....

You might me wondering, giants?
Well my bestfrnd got 3 huge brothers nd she's d last born(more like unexpected born). Her parents got her in their old age nd sad she's a miracle child(hence her name)cuz they've always wanted a girl nd then she came along,athough late,nd cuz of that she's treated like a queen by both her parents nd brothers nd d treatment kinda rubbed up on me cuz we're always together nd they're really protective especially cuz i lost my dad at such young age,bt I don't really mind,so there's that.

Miracle: but you do know my house is ginourmous nd we only get to celebrate once

Me: no way are we celebrating in your house

Our birthday's in two wks,yea, you heard correctly,we share same birthday, its just adds up to d long list of weirds in our lives.............

Liz? Lizzy? Liiizzzzzzz Earth to Liz!!

Me: sorry,just thinking bout my mom's reaction when we tell her we're going to d club to celebrate our birthday

Miracle: but its worth a shot

Me: you're right, we can do this,just gotta ask,can't hurt to try right?

Miracle: right...

Helen: ABSOLUTELY NOT!!

Me: but mom....

Helen: I said NO nd that's final

Me: I'm so angriated right now.....

Helen: angri...what?

Miracle: i don't think thats a real word izz

Me: I know,but I'm just so mad right now(scowls)

Miracle: Mrs Stevens, it necessarily doesnt have to be a club

Me: yea mom,and we're not kids anymore, we're turning 18 nd between the both of us thats like almost 36

Miracle: 'nods' in agreement

Helen: OK fine,what's d other option

Miracle/me: sowewe'relikethinkingweshouldgetaresturantandgetitdecoratedandthen.......

Helen: whoa whoa,slow down,one at a time

Me:how about we get a restaurant nd talk to d manager abt decorations nd then get a cake nd invite few frnds (cute smile)

Helen: raises a brow

Me: come on mom,we'll soon go off to uni,let's at least get one grown up party without getting bone crushing hugs from Mimi's gigantic brothers nd a twisted version of d happy birthday song by her parents, nd u not always being there for my birthday........

Helen: I'm sorry honey, you know its not my fault I had to be at work

Me: I know mom....its fine.....

Helen: alright fine,if u guys can put d whole thing together on your own....

Me/miracle: (gigling) annnnddddddd??

Helen: u can have it

Me/miracle: yeesssssssss, thank u mom/thanks Mrs Stevens

Helen: quick question, will there be boys?

Miracle/me: (stares at each other) shrugs, what boys.......

Helen: hmmmmmm

Miracle: don't worry Mrs stevens ,my mom gave me a dozen condoms when we had d talk,so we're good

Helen: (eyes almost dropping from their sockets),What?

Me: not that we're gonna use it or anything,right Mimi

Miracle: right!

Me: thanks mom,we got a party to plan,gotta go

Helen: its in two wks

Miracle: exactly never too late to prepare, bye Mrs stevens

Helen: be careful

Me: when are we not always?

Helen: u broke ur leg trying to climb a tree u shouldn't even be climbing

Me: that was one time

Helen: it was three times

Miracle: don't worry Mrs stevens,I'll keep her safe

Chapter 2

Music blasting nd dancing on d dancefloor....

Me: we really did

Miracle: we really did it,I'm so proud of us

Me: now what?

Miracle: now we mingle

Me: mingle? We barely know anyone here,where'd all this people come from

Miracle: about that,my bros helped out cuz,let's face it,between d two of us this party will be dead,we really need to make frnds

Me: whatever.....but I think I'm just gonna sit here for a while(grabs a sit)

Miracle: awww thats so cute,u think we did all this just for u to come and sit.......there's a cute guy,(grabs her nd pushes her)now go mingle,I Dnt want u to die a virgin,cuz that'd just be sad

Me: (scowls at her) but goes anyway

Stranger: hi birthday girl!

Me: u know me?

Stranger: nah,u face is on there (points to the poster with my face nd Mimi's). Name's Daniel (extends his hand)

Me: I'm Lizzy (shakes his hand),so having fun?

Daniel: yea,so d other girl your frnd?

Me: yea...she's my bestfrnd

Daniel: u think u can get her to talk to me?

Of course he wants her,which guy wouldn't, Miracle is d very definition of beauty,brown eyes,lashes so long you'd think there fake but there not,oval shaped face,light skinned,natural long hair,nd leg's so slim nd slender will make models a run for their money,nd now she's in a bum short that shows her slender legs nd a dress top with hair in a bum nd light make up nd snickers,making all d guys drool,nd then there's me although I got what guys always look at when meeting a girl boobs nd bum that are way to big for my age,smooth chocolate skin,a round face,nd thick as guys do call it. Although Mimi always says I got asset,but i never really cared cuz I don't see it,but she made sure I looked good in a skinny high waist jean showing my curve nd a cropped top, light make up cuz she rebuked me from going to my party looking like a nun,so she made up nd we wore matching snickers, with hair also in a bum.

Me: ummm sure,would u excuse me for a moment(I said leaving him alone)

This party blows I said to my self cuz I see Mimi having d time of her life dancing, with guys round her like she's d fricking queen of d dancefloor. Well at least one of us is having fun I said turning nd bumping onto something I think is human but then again I fell,so I'm not really sure

Me: owwww,that hurt

I'm sorry a deep smooth voice says with hand extended to pull me up...... Its fine i said getting on my feet to meet d most mesmerizing eyes I've ever seen,before me stood a tall,handsome doesn't seem to cut it,cuz he looks like a god,a fricking handsome god.

Its fine really I said dusting d invisible dust from my jean,its just d floor nd i have a thing cuz im always saying hi to it with my butt i said, he smiles nd says 'you're funny',i return his smile,
I'm Evans he says extending his hands,Lizzy i said shaking his hands. So happy birthday he said with a smile i replied thanks framing his smile, so? U know Miracle I asked him,yea he said,Michael (Mimi's older brother)invited me,immediately my face fell nd he noticed bt she's like a sis to me I'm more interested in d girl next to her he pointed at d poster above us,nd my smile found its way back to my face,so u wanna dance he grinned? Yea sure i replied nd got pulled to d dance floor...... After two glasses of beer nd d walls start spinning, I realised I'm not a heavy drinker,cuz now i keep laughing at random things with my bestfrnd who is doing just d same.
Mimi? I think i see your parents coming,i slurred, we are so drunk mimi said laughing cuz I see them too,nd we started laughing, but then they came closer nd I could see their faces Mrs adebayo's thin face was covered in tears nd her husband's was just straight, was going on dad Mimi asked seeing them,there has been an accident Liz..........

Hey guys!
Would really appreciate it if u guys would say something/anything at all, should I stop or should I go ahead........



Chapter 3

Is she alright I heard my myself say,more like whisper,but I guess they heard cuz Mrs adebayo started crying again.
Plz tell me she's fine nd she's room resting it off I pushed,I'm so sorry Lizzy, Mr Adebayo continued,they said she had lost a lot of blood nd she died in d operating room,I'm so sorry sweety,Mrs Adebayo added midst tears, no no no,no way,I saw her this morning, she made me breakfast nd we ate nd laughed nd she kept complaining about an annoying colleague nd I told her to hang in there, she can't be dead,nd just like that my head started spinning outta control not cuz of d beer,but for d fear of there been a little bit of truth in way they're saying.
I'm so sorry izz,Mimi says nd pulls me for a hug, I wanna see her,right now i wanna see her,she can't die,she's all I got,she can't just leave, plz take me to her......
I know sweety but u have to take it easy.....plz don't tell me to take it easy cuz I don't think I can right now, its fine we'll take u,as we entered d hospital white walls with d smell of drugs of various kinds in d air,I prayed silently telling myself she's fine nd she'll wake nd we'll laugh at how she's a doctor in d hospital receiving treatment instead of giving it out,nd that God should plz keep her alive for me.

There in d hospital bed lay my mom's lifeless corpse, bruises all over her once smooth skin,nd I saw myself gasping for air,cuz d walls seems like they're closing in on me........breath Elizabeth breath I hear a faint voice telling me,nd that's all I remembered.......

Beep beep......I hear machines beeping,I tried opening my eyes,but my eyelids felt heavy,but finally I squinted nd saw a faint figure nd noices 'saying she's gonna be fine',

Are u alright Izz? My bestfrnd asked, yea I think so,what happened my head is pounding, d last thing I remembered is our party,y are we in d hospital, i asked holding my head in my hands, easy there sweety,d doctor said u have to take it easy,Mrs adebayo says, i'm fine,I just wanna go home,mom will be so worried I replied.........oh sweety Mrs adebayo says nd burst into tears, what's going on,I asked getting on my feet,its nothing u need to relax,everything will be fine.....

A week later.......

Helen Stevens was a good woman,a good doctor,nd a very kindhearted individual I hear d pastor say,as I'm surrounded by d Adebayos family, with Mimi by my right hand side holding me, she put herself before others she pastor went on nd that was pretty much all I heard until Mimi tapped me asking if I wanna say something, I looked up nd saw everyone staring at me.......I'm sorry I can't do this I said nd ran out of d church followed by Mimi.

Are u okay Liz? Yea I just need some air u know,wanna come back inside? Yea,I'll be there in a sec......Mimi nodded nd went back in.
Later my mom's casket was buried 6 ft under,nd relatives I didnbknow I had started trooping in sharing their condolences, i just nodded nd went on my way.

Later that evening in Mimi's room, Mimi? Yea? Is it bad that i havent cried since my mom's death i asked, i feel like if i cry then it's real nd that shes no longer here with me,nd it kinda hurts cuz i wanna so believe this is all such a bad dream nd ill wake up nd see her scolding me for something i probably did, its gonna be alrright izz, she pulled me in a hug stroking my back. Her mom walked in with a box in her hand nd handed it over to me,this is for u sweety,d hospital passed it down with her belongings but since u weren't stable,they said to give it to u,I thanked her nd took d box from her,she noded nd walked out,after giving me a hug,turns out d family really like hugs,cuz I've gotten over a hundred hugs since my mom's death.

What's in it Mimi asked? I don't know, look there's a note she says nd handed it over to me,thanks I replied, nd saw its from my mom,I'll he outside of u need aanything she said nd stepped out,thank Mimi i replied, anything she said nd with that vanished.

Hi honey,
So,I'm bringing this gift,cuz I'm not really d best mom right? Missing her daughter's birthday for work,I'm so sorry sweety,so this time I'll bring d gift over I might not stay for long cuz I need to go back to work but at least I'll get to see your face.....
Happy birthday honey, I love u so much,nd i can't believe how grown up you are now. You are nd will always be my little girl don't u forget that.

Love mom.

Nd with that d flood of tears came rolling down my face nd I broke down screaming nd sobbing nd Mimi came in embracing me,telling me to let it all out,nd so i did.......

The next day,i got a call from d bank saying my mom has an account with my name on it with my 'uni funds' in it nd that I have to come confirm it. I cried again after d call,cuz she thought about me all her life when I've been nothing but trouble to her.

D rest of d weeks nd months went in a blur nd suddenly it's time to go back to school with my bestie cuz even though I haven't really gotten over it,I've learned to live with it cuz d Adeboye's didn't let me go back to my home only just to go pick my things, cuz they said I'm like their daughter,nd they can't leave me on my own,nd since d house being d only thing my dad left for us before leaving,I had to leave it be.

Do u have everything?

Mimi/me: yes mom/yes Mrs adebayo

Mrs Adebayo: if u need anything,just call nd we'll be there in no time

Mimi: yea yea mom,we got everything, we'll be fine she said nd hugged her mom

Mrs Adebayo pulled me in a hug too nd we went on out way to uni nd d rest of our lives.

As we got in to d uni of Lag. gates, i gasped nd frozebon d spot,Mimi noticed nd asked what's wrong,she traced where my eyes were fixed at nd you're not gonna believe who I saw there..........

Chapter 5

You saw me yesterday Evans replid and pulled away from her

I know...I know,but I just missed u so much, she replied,

Mimi nd I turn to look at each other and back at d scene happening in front of us

Evans noticed, cleared his throat nd said,

Guys, this is joy......

His girlfriend, an overly excited joy jumped in now looking at us

Right....I'm Lizzy nd this is my bestfrnd Mimi.....

And we're just leaving,right Liz? Mimi said trying to pull me away from d scene

Wait! There's this party a frnd of mine is throwing nd u guys should come Evans said looking at me intently like my reply as a lot riding on it

I Dnt know,we just got here,and we have a lot of things to take care of, I trailed.......

You dont have to came u know,since u have things to take care of,joy replied with a smirk on her face.......

'We'll be there' Mimi replied obviously bored with the whole interaction and immediately started pulling me away.

And immediately Joy's smirk turned to a frown,

Great Evans said....... Bye Evans,I waved nd Joy i said and turned to look at my bestfrnd.

What was that about, but Joy was smiling.....did u see her face when I said we'll go,she went on now laughing,

Yea, that was pretty funny I replied with a smile........I know she grinned, and I just shook my head and we just walked on our way

as promised.........

chapter 6

OK, this has got to stop happening to me(good thing i'm wearing a short underneath my gown).

why do i always fall on my butt i mumbled whilst looking up to an angry face staring at me like the source of all his life's problem.

watch where you're going,or are u blind that you cant see where you're going to......i'm sorry,i wasn't looking i said looking at his face more clearly now.....

clearly, if i were u,i'd actually look at where i'm going to avoid bumping at someone.

I'm sorry okay i half yelled now getting pretty annoyed at the guy who was taking aback by my outburst,it wasn't as if i did it on purpose,now if you'll excuse me,I'll be on my way,so you can keep your negative attitude to yourself...and with that i walked away from the guy with his mouth left
hanging

Are u okay? Mimi asked me as soon as i got in,

yea im fine just meet some ass-hat outside who pissed me off, but its all good

ok,she said, now come on,we need to show off your look,she added grinning, i smiled and followed

i gotta admit,but what made me smile was the way Evans was staring at me,made me feel like im the only girl at the party,it kinda feels special,although i know he isn't mine but at least someone's looking at me at a party that i know no one

who are these? a guy walks up to Evans and inquired scanning both Mimi and i from head to toe

this is Lizzy and miracle Evans replied whilst flashing me a smile

hello,im David he said and extends his hand for a shake....nice to meet you,

welcome to my party,he added,are you guys having fun?

sure Mimi replied licking her bottom lip whilst looking at David, i noticed her actions and immediately turned to David and said,

'so are you gonna show us around or what''.......yea yea of course,come on he said stretching out his hands to Mimi,

you know what...you guys go i ahead,i'll go grab a drink i said turning to Mimi,who mouthed a silent thank to me me and went off to David

as i walked down to go grab a drink,i came face to face with the last person i wanted to see again this night or probably ever...........

chapter 7

okay,even though a part of me thought Evans will see how not right she is for him and break up with her,i know that wont be the case and therefore she will definitely be at the party. I still thought maybe i wont ever see her ever again cuz i was actually planning on avoiding her,guess that's not going to work.

Joy: hi Elizabeth

she spit out,like my name disgusts her

i see still came....

me: of course i came,weren't u expecting me?

I asked feigning ignorance

Joy: you little LovePeddler,you better stay away from my man cuz he's mine,if u so much as touch him or even talk to him again,i'll make your life a living hell in this school and not even that little friend of yours can save you

me: 'standing there staring at her,too shocked to even say a word', w..what?

she was about to say more when she was interrupted....

what's going on here?

we both turned around and her face lit up almost immediately

chapter 8

Hi joy, how are you?

im fine, how are you, you came to the party? i thought you're not gonna come

i changed my mind,and i just ran into one annoying girl that just spoilt my mood this night

me: *clears throat*

James: are you stalking me? it wasn't enough you insulted me, now you're stalking me?do you have a crush on me or something?

me: oh get over yourself,if anyone got insulted,it was me and you should be the one to apologize to me

joy: hold on, you know her James?

James: shes the annoying girl that bumped into me and insulted me

joy: so it wasn't enough u want to snatch my bf from me,but now u go around making trouble? e be like say u no know where u dey.

seeing that we now dragging a crowd,i became uncomfortable and a bit cornered, and just then Mimi comes over and asks whats happening, i tried explaining but Joy just started yelling and keep saying how i want to snatch her bf from her.

Mimi realizing its getting out of hand tried to jump in but just then Evans came over and started pulling joy out of the party after apologizing to Mimi and i and everybody else and with that they left, and soon we followed suit.

I swear that girl is a witch,why cant she just be normal, Joy said when we entered our two bedroom apartment. Joy told her parents she wants to leave off camp and since she's their little girl according to them, they gave her what she wants and we got an apartment outside campus.

Its fine,i guess i shouldn't have caused trouble in the first place,

you did absolutely nothing wrong,and that James guy or whatever his name is had it coming, he was lucky i wasn't the one he messed with else he wouldn't have let there without being embarrassed

its fine,its in the past anyway,we have to rest now cause we have lectures tomorrow you know i said

i know,i know,but are u really okay joy asked me concern in her eyes, yea im fine, just tired i replied and with that i went to the bathroom took my bath and climbed unto my bed and she did the same.

Okay here's another, just been really busy, and I apologize in advance cuz it ain't gonna be long

Chapter 9

Ever been in a position where u just wanna punch someone so hard and they'd break a nose, yea? Well I'm in such position right now,and she's kinda pushing me past a breaking point.

You might be wondering what I'm talking about,

Okay, its been over week since the incident at the party and I've been staying away from Evans although he has been trying so hard to talk to me,i just kept giving him excuses,and I've also been trying as much as possible not to run into Joy. So the past week has been pretty uninventful,going for lectures and back to my apartment and occasional outing with Mimi but tha was it.

So this Monday morning on my way to d lecture hall,Joy stopped me,

So much for avoiding her,I guess I can't really avoid her cuz we're in same sch after all.

She kept going and on about how I made she and Evans drift apart and I'm the reason he broke up with her.

I guess they're broken up

Me: you do know,I haven't seen you're bf or ex,or whatever u guys are now in a while,so what makes u think I'm to be blamed for your split

Joy: oh plz spare me,u think I don't know u like him,and also the way he looks at u

Okay,maybe I do like him,but there's nothing I can do about since he's with her I thought

Me: I have no idea what you're talking about,so if you'd plz excuse me,I don't wanna be late for my lecture

And with that I walked away from her,although, I still heard her saying, this isnt over,and other things I really didn't care about,I just went for my lectures and at the end of the day,I went back to my apartment, Mimi was already home so she welcomed me and I thanked her and went to the sitting room and there he was............

Hi Lizzy, Evans said as he saw,

Me: Errrm, could u excuse me for a sec Evans.....I trailed. Can I have a word with I Mimi?

Mimi: are u sure she whispered, cuz i can give guys some space.....she smiled

What the hell Mimi? You know I don't wanna see him and I've been avoiding him all this while, so why'd you let him in I asked getttin a bit angry no

Hey! How would I know you we're avoiding him when you've been moody for some days now,and here I though its because you miss him, but I guess not,and I'm even trying to be romantic here by bringing you guys together,but what do I get in return? You yelling at me she said pouting which actually made me smile

I know,i know, and im sorry, its just that afte what happened at the party,I just don't want anymore drama

Hey!you should just leave life u know,and stop overthinking things and leave that bi*ch to me

What will you do i asked raising a brow

Oh nothing,just gonna teach her a lesson,that's all Mimi said with a smirk

Nope,no way,just leave her alone,I don't want you to go to jail, the place is scary I said and we both laughed

You still need to talk to Jim you know,Mimi said

I know,I'm gonna to him now,he must be getting suspicious now

And with that we both walked in and she excused herself to give us an alone time(classic Mimi)

Evans: hi, you've been avoiding me

Me: yea,I'm sorry,but I dont think we should be talking cuz o Joy and all....,

Evans: we broke up

Me: I heard......she told me,what happened,you two seem to be in love I *smirks

Evans: ha ha! Very funny, she's crazy

Me: yea,she is

We both smiled

Evans: plus I never said i was in love with her he said and walked closer to me,

W...what are u.......I stuttered

I like someone else,he said and got even closer,always have....he trailed annd got even closer and started leaning in,and me still trying to figure out what's happening

He started staring at my lips and then to my eyes and leaned even closer

Knowing where it was headed, my eyes automatically shuts and I could feel his breath on my face.....

Hi guys.........

Ok, so guys....I almost stopped writing cuz I felt the story's not good enough......but I guess i can't stop cuz of some of u guys that don't mind and actually read it. So I'm gonna try and continue..........

Having said that.........here's another

Chapter 11

Immediately our heads jerked back and standing at the door was a grinning miracle

Miracle: I'm sorry,did I interrupt u guys she said now smiling

Errm, no Evans said looking a bit embarrassed, and I gotta admit,he's face right now is kinda cute with him avoiding eye contact with miracle

Evans: I should go now,bye Lizzy,I'll see u later.. .

He said and with that sprinted towards the door because miracle was now closer

Bye Evans I called out......

And turned to miracle to was still smiling and wiggling her brow.....

Miracle: so.......what'd I miss?

Me: *frowns nothing happened

Miracle: what'd u mean nothing happened

Me: I mean nothing happened cuz u ruined it, u had to show up at that time?

Miracle: well I'm sorry but,I didn't realise what I was wearing until a stupid boy yelled ' nice ass' at me

That was when I realised she was just wearing a singlet with bum short and her ass was, well let's just say it might be tempting to guys

Me: I'm sorry u had to go out looking like that cuz of me

Miracle: its fine, at least u guys got to talk,cuz I was getting tired of brooding Liz. So?

She asked wiggling her brow

Me: so what?

I asked,trying to walk away

Miracle: oh no,you're not going anywhere till u give me details

Me: there really isn't, he broke up with Joy although she kid of told me that already. You think he likes me?

I asked smiling

Miracle: of course he likes you, imean look at the way he looks at you and everything, and I know u like him too

Me: yea, I do

I said and went to pour myself a glass of water and started gulping

Miracle: so I'm I gonna be your bridesmaid or what?

She said and stood in front of me....immediately the water from my mouth splashed on her face

Me: what??

Mirage: first of all...eww....second what to do u mean,with the way things are going,i won't be surprised,ivthere will be a proposal the next time

Me: you're crazy

And we both laughed and i wenbon to to tell her about my day and she did same cuz we have different schedules,and later on went to bed

*************

The next day I had was a lecture free day for me,so i decided to stay home and do my laundry,after I was done,took my bath and ate and decided to watch a movie, I heard I knock on the door. I went on to open it and there he was

Ok,my heart's gotta skipping a beat whenever I see him

Evans: do you know I still don't have your phone num

He said smiling

Me: well, hello to u too,come in

Evans: that's not why I'm here,you need to get dressed,I'm taking u somewhere........

Chapter 12

Me: aiit, sit down let me get dressed

Evans came in and sat down. So i went to my room to get changed in a simpe skinny jeans and top,wore a sandal and applied very light make up. When i came out to the living, Evans looked up and smiled at me.

Evans: are you ready?

Me: yea, but where are we going?

Evans: you'll see

So, he escorted me out to a car,and opened the passenger side door of the car for me to enter.i went in and told him thank you. He smiled and closed the door and went round to enter himself.

Me: so, you have a car? I didn't know that

Evans :yea, there are many things you don't know about me

Me: right. So are you gonna tell me where we are going now

Evans: nope

And with that we drove off, chatting and laughing. Soon afterwards we were parked in front of a restaurant.
I turned to him and asked, a resturant? He shrugged and said, I wanted to take you out on a date. 'Real smooth' i said with a smile, and he smiled back and led me in to a table. A waitress walked to us and asked for our orders, i just ordered for a fried rice and chicken with an orange juice, and she turned to Evans and as soon she saw him, she started tucking her invisible hair back her ear, (her hair is short) and she smiled wildly at him and asked for his order batting her lashes seductively. He ordered same thing i did without even sparing her a glance. She looked back at me and i smiled and she just walked away.

Me: she likes you

Evans: who?

Me: the waitress, didn't you see the way she looked at you and was flirting

Evans: I didn't notice, because of the beautiful girl sitting across me

My stomach did a flip, and I felt all giddy on the inside. So I smiled and then the waitress came back with our orders and we ate in silence. When we were done we were back on the road and he took me to a cinema and we watched a movie, and later he took me back to my house.

So, I'll see you later? He said after walking me to my door, yea, I nodded and he hugged me and walked away not forgetting to take my number this time. I waved him good bye grinning like a child that just got a Christmas present, then he drove off.

I turned back, opened the door to a a frowning Miracle who came immediately and hugged me

Miracle: where have you been? I've been looking all over for you, I called and you weren't answering, cuz you left your phone in the house, I thought something bad happened to you, I thought you had been kidnapped

Me: whoa whoa, I'm okay, and I'm sorry I forgot my phone at home cuz Evans came without notice and took me out on a date and I'm......

What! She shrieked cutting me off, he took you out on a date, I so saw this coming. So how did it go? Did you guys kiss or did you do something else? she said wiggling her eyebrow.

Ok first of all, you need help I said pouring myself a glass of water and second, nothing happened, we just ate and watched a movie.

I see twins in your future she said smiling and walking away to her room. You're crazy I replied, and Mimi? She turned to look at me, sorry I made you panick and thanks for everything. She came back and gave me a hug, don't mention it, plus, you're like the little sister I never had. You know we're same age right? I pushed her away smiling, believe what you want, but I'm older in here she said pointing to her heart and walked into her room. Yes you are i whispered and went to my room took my bath and went to bed still smiling.

*****************


The next morning i woke up early cuz I had 8am lectures, I got off my bed and started stretching and then my phone buzzed. I picked it up and read the text ' hi sleeping beauty, you awake? You know you have a morning class'.

I read the text and smiled, but then wondered how he knew I had morning class since i never told him, but shrugged it off and texted him back ' I'm up,just gonna prepare and go' and with that i went to take my bath, got dressed and went to the kitchen poured myself a cereal and milk. When I was done it was already 7.30am, so i yelled Mimi's name telling her I'm leaving, cuz i know she has no class in the morning, cuz we both have our time table pasted in the palour wall. Okay, be safe, she yelled back and went back to sleep i think. I walked out closed to door,turned around to see Evans leaning on his car.

What are you doing here, I whispered, I came to take you to school he whispered back and asked why are we whispering?.I don't know I said and smiled. Come on, you're gonna be late.I got in and we drove off to school.

Chapter 13

So how do you know I had morning class? I asked as soon we got to school. I know many things was he's reply and that was just one of them, plus, we're doing same course,only difference is I'm a year ahead of you. My mouth formed an 'o' then I nodded and got off the car to walk to my class but he grabbed me by the waist and pulled me closer to him

What are you doing? people are watching I asked trying to get away from his grasp but he pulled me closer and whispered 'i dont care' in my ear which sent chills down my spine. I'll see you later he said and kissed my temple before pulling away and got in his car and drove off. I walked past the people watching hoping no one says anything and thank God they didn't, so I just walked to my class.

*****************

The next day he came again and did same thing and i thought to myself, will this become a routine? But I shrugged cuz I liked the idea of it.

I'm gonna come pick you up after lectures today, he said as we got to school that morning, I nodded cuz so far, our dates have been fun with him taking me to the beach, out shopping and sometimes we just sit and talk for hours about ourselves.

After class, I stood up and began walking out the lecture hall when my phone buzzed in my pocket 'will take a rain check about picking you, I'm sorry, something came up, talk to you later'.

I sighed and tucked my phone in my pocket and started walking home. When I got there, it was empty, that means miracle's not home. Perfect I say to myself dropping my bag and lying down on the couch cuz I was exhausted.

Few minutes later I heard a knock, I grumbled and got to answer and asked who's there but there was no reply so I peeked in the small hole on the door but saw no one, so I slowly opened the door and sighed in relieve when I saw him at the door.

What are you doing here? I couldn't wait he replied and before I can let him in his lips were already on mine, my legs suddenly turned jelly and he noticed cause he held me by the waist for support, came in, his lips still on mine, closed the door. He asked requested passage and i willing opened my mouth cuz i wasn't really thinking clearly at that point and he deepend the kiss. We pulled out away to catch out breath, and he smiled and said much better, kissed me again and then opened the door and walked away,with me just standing there unable to move.

Chapter 14

I stood there, and instinctly my hand went to my lips, tracing on it for the warmth that was on it minutes ago

Whoa! Was all i could say and later went back to sit on the couch suddenly not being able to sleep anymore, and my stomach rumbled. Okay now I'm hungry I said to myself and went into the kitchen to prepare dinner for myself and Mimi.

10mins into my preparation, I heard the door open and close and my name being called from the parlor.

I'm in the kitchen I replied and then came in Miracle slumping on a chair tiredly

Mimi: I hate school, there's so much reading, and writing and learning, its tiring

Me: you do know it's just our first yr and the first semester too at that

Mimi: why do you think I'm complaining( turns to look at me)

Me: you are a strange one(smiling)

Mimi: you're smiling way too much, oh my gosh your glowing

Me: what are you talking about?

Mimi: you're blushing

Me: that's not possible, blacks don't blush you know, it can't be seen

Mimi; whatever.... Now tell me, did something happen

Me: okay fine, its not like i can hide it anyway,Evans was here

Oh my gosh! She squealed, so guys finally did it, you bad girl she said poking me. So how was it, did it hurt? Did you enjoy, was he big she said wiggling her brow

I swear you need Jesus, and no we didn't, we just kissed I said, remembering what happened and smiling

Must have been one heck of a kiss, see the plenty plenty smile wey you dey show me. So, was there tongue action? She asked now mirroring my smile

Ha ha very funny, and yea, he is such a good kisser,he's lips are so warm, I couldn't breath cuz it felt so good on mine, and his tongue did wonders in my mouth, and boy does kiss real good and......

Whoa whoa, breath Liz, It was that good? Yea i nodded, these past few days have been amazing, and i really like him, you think he does too?

Of course he does, he'd be crazy not to,and i see the way he looks at you,that is the face of some one who is crazy about you

Thanks Mimi, I said going to hug her, you're the best. I know she said smiling and hugging me back, now what's for dinner I'm starving

Okay, I'm preparing jollof spaghetti, t'will be ready soon.

Alright I'm gonna go change and come join you she said and walked out to her room

Soon we were done cooking and eating and discussing about our day till we got tired and retired to our rooms.

****************

Days past after the kiss and i haven't heard from Evans, i was beginning to get worried, if he's sick, if he's alright, if he's tired of me already. Maybe I was not his type, heck he is really hot and it didn't help that every girl wants him in school or just to get to his pants. I was pondering as i walked down to a supermarket to go get some things i need.

Hey beauty, some one called out with a familiar voice, and I turned round immediately and my thoughts went blank, and my heart started beating so hard i wondered if he could hear it from where he's standing

Hi rrrrrr, i stuttered unable to form coherent words cuz of the really gorgeous boy now standing in front of me, damn this boy's hot, and he's gonna be the death of me

evans:hi girlfriend

Me: girlfriend?

Aren't you my girlfriend? He asked placing he's hand on my waist, cuz I'm pretty sure I can't do this to any other girl, he added placing a little peck on my lips

Hey! No PDAs I said nudging him away, folding my hands, and I thought you were done with me, making plans to pick me,then cancelling, then showing up later in my house and given me a breathtaking kiss, and then not contacting me i said frowning a bit,

I take your breath away huh? Glad I have that effect on you, he said smiling, his grip on my waist tightening sending cold chills down my spine.

Breath Liz, I chant in my head looking up to his smiling face, don't flatter yourself, I said trying to wriggle free from his hold but he didn't budge.

I'm sorry, there was an emergency with the parentals and i had to go spend some few days with them he said, and I nodded feeling a bit sad cuz I have none, but glad it wasn't something i did.

So? Did you miss me? He's hand on my waist again

Whatever, was my reply and tried to move but couldn't

You know you have to let me go so I can go get what i want right? Yea sure he said and let go only to take my hands in his and walked me into the supermarket.

So? What are are getting?

Just some basic stuffs I replied grabbing a basket and started picking. After i was done, and we began arguing on why I need to pay, we comprised and he payed,I don't even know why I bothered to argue with him, cuz he didn't even flinch, he just gave me that killer smile that made my insides turn, I swear this guy will be the death of me.

We walked out of the supermarket and he asked if i had any plans. Of course I didn't but I wanted to play it hard

I don't know, maybe I'll go see a guy friend of mine, he invited me and all, so i was thinking on honouring his invitation, I said twisting my hair(I did a long weavon that rested on my back).

Nice try, i know you're lying, but its cute that youre trying to make me jealous, he said smiling.

Wait, how do you know?

You play with your hair when you lie, and with that he grabbed the bag and put it in his booth and nudged me to come on.

We drove to my house, dropped the things off with Mimi, she's home, since its a saturday and he asked permission for me to be taken away. I eyed her hoping she'll notice and say no but she just smiled and said have fun and closed the door. So much for being my best friend I murmured, but followed him anyway.

After driving for a while! We stopped at a bungalow. He parked, we got off, then he brought out his key opened the door and got in and i followed suit, then he turned around with a smile and said ' welcome to my humble abode'.

chapter 15:

Humble? your definition of humble must be different from mine cuz this is not humble at all. This place is amazing.......whoa,that's a huge TV,You live alone or something?i ask looking around.

Yea, i like to live alone cuz,im kinda a neat freak plus i like the privacy he winked. you don't say i replied going to where the tv is noticing it has controllers plugged in it. video games huh?

yep,i like to keep myself busy....what are you doing?

trying to play,now come on

you play? he asked coming closer, of course now come on,i beckoned to him.

okay,just so you know,i wont go easy on you cuz you're a girl he said smiling.

awwww, you almost hurt my feelings i said,dramatically putting my hands on my chest.

after playing for two hours with the score 10 to 8, so, what were you saying about me being a girl i teased.

Fine,you win,i gotta admit that was amazing, how did you learn to play?

i practically grew up with 3 guys who eat and breath video games.

you know,what turns me on,he said moving closer to where i am putting his arm around my waist, a girl that shares the same hobbies as i do

you know what turns me on? i say trying to flirt,moving my lips closer to his ear........food, his head jerked away, i'm hungry i added smiling. He smiled shook his head and told me to hold while he prepares something and with that he walked away to where i'm assuming is the kitchen. i took the opportunity to look around and saw the picture of his family and that of his mum pulling both sides of his cheek which me smile a bit. you have a beautiful family i yelled

yea, he replied making me turn almost immediately,hey!....you scared me scared, how long have you been at my back?

not long,so what about your family? he said biting on an apple, you've never told me about them

yea.....my head fell a bit,and i turn around walking to sit on the couch, i never did huh? i tried smiling but failing

Babe? are you okay?

Yea, my dad died when i was really small, i never even got to see him,he got really drunk and got hit by a car when he left my mom and i,tragic huh? his death never really bothered me though, yea i craved a father figure but my mom and i, we were just fine.

I'm so sorry babe.

yea, its not your fault

so, how's your mom?

you remember my birthday and how you thought i ditched you?

Yea?

i actually didn't, my mom got into an accident,died on the way to the hospital i added now sobbing, she didn't even get to see me enter uni,and we prepared everything,and......i broke down in tears and Evans enveloped me in a hug whispering sweet nothings to me, its not your fault you know, you don't have to keep beating yourself for that

you don't understand,she came to see me,if she didn't leave work at that time to come see me at my party she wouldn't have gotten into the accident and died, i added sobbing

hey, look at me, its not your fault okay? things happen for a reason, God knows you wont be alone in the world,cuz you have Miracle and her family, and also cause he knows you can survive the world cuz your smart,and funny and beautiful,he said wiping the tears away, which made me smile, there you go, that's the smile i love seeing.

I'm sorry, i'm an emotional wreck

its fine he said pecking me on the lip,it just makes me want to take care of you more he smiled, now come on, the foods gonna get cold. i nodded and followed him.

this is really good did you make this? taking another spoonful of jollof rice, yea? i don't mean to brag but,i cook really good he winked. Way not to brag i teased and continued eating, he smiled and when we were done eating, we did the dishes and went to his room.

wanna watch a movie? he asked opening his laptop.......

sure,what are we watching

i don't know, you choose,

i went through his files and saw insidious 3, and smiled, clicked on it and placed it on the bed, he came and cuddled and asked if i could handle it, of course i can i smiled and we started watching and that was all i remember cuz i fell asleep in his arm.

Sorry guys, was updating, but i accidentally dropped the phone and it went off and everything got erased and i got pissed.

Funny thing is, this is actually the second time today, its a miracle the phone is still working after all it has gone through. I'm a total clutz

That been said, I wanna appreciate your comments, plz keep them coming let me know what you think

And @Azeequeen, thank you for pointing it out, its just, this is my first time writing and I'm all over the place right now, and a certain auto correct feels that the words I have in mind and typing is not correct enough, so it feels the need to put them right. *laughs.....true talk. But I'll make sure to minimize the errors

And happy Sunday guys
