''Talk to me about what?'' Dami asked, frowning.

''Rachel, please can you excuse us for a minute?'' K.C asked and
Rachel shrugged and walked away.

''Please leave,'' Dami started. ''I just got home and I am really tired.''

''Hear me out first then you can decide if I should leave or not.''

She sighed deeply and sat down with her hands folded across her chest,
as if daring him to impress her.

K.C took up the challenge and sat down opposite her. ''Matina doesn't exist.''

''What are you talking about?'' she asked, looking at him like a
confused man o' war.

''I said, Matina doesn't exist. I just made that up. The night
precedding Nate's wedding, we only hung out but there was no single
lady there. Matina doesn't exist, I don't know any Matina and I have
never met one.''

''Why are you telling me all this?'' she asked, still frowning.

''I don't love Matilda,'' he continued despite her harsh tone. ''We
dated briefly in our university days but all that is in the past now.
She is about getting married.'' he dropped the bomb and noticed Dami's
surprised expression.

He took out his phone and dialled Matilda's number.

''Hello,'' he spoke as soon as she picked the call.

''Hello K.C, how are you doing and why are you calling me by this time
of the day?'' she asked.

''One question at a time woman,'' K.C said, looking at Dami. ''Remind
me, when is that wedding of yours coming up again.''

''Three weeks from now K.C, this one you're forgetting the date, if
you don't show up on that day, I will haunt you.''

He laughed at her joke, the Matilda he knows isn't capable of hurting
a fly talk more of haunting a human. ''I will be there princess
Matilda.'' he said and hung up then gave Dami a do-you-now-believe
look.

''I still don't get why you are doing all these.'' Dami said but with
a much softer expression and voice.

''Now, you know there's nothing between Matilda and I anymore. We're
just one of those few past lovers who still keep in touch but with our
senses intact. Nothing is going on between us.'' he explained.
''K.C, I am confused right now, why are you telling me all these?''

''Matilda even made me follow her to buy her wedding gown. We're just
two sensible adults who have decided not to throw our friendship to
the dogs''

''K.C, you still haven't told me why you're saying all...

''When I say a word, I mean that word.''

''Who is Rose?'' Dami blurted out.

''Another ex-girlfriend. I lived a rough life, I won't deny that.''

''What business does she have with doctor Raphael?'' Dami asked.

''It turned out she was his girlfriend but when she saw me, she dumped
him for me and I was too blind to resist the offer. How did you find
out?''

''Raphael told me.'' she closed her eyes. ''He said he only dated me
to get back at you and that he never loved me. Just perfect cuz I also
never loved him.''

''I thought as much,'' K.C murmured. ''So, they're back together?'' he asked.

''Yes. He claims that she is the only woman he has ever loved and that
he has forgiven her. He came to ask for my forgiveness, that's all.''

''You forgave him and you can't forgive me.'' K.C said dryly.

''K.C, you haven't wronged me. I was only giving you space. It seemed
like you needed it.''

''You were wrong then. You left me when I needed you most.'' he walked
up to her and sat on the arm rest. ''What if I told you I have fallen
in love?''

She smiled weakly. ''Does it mean that love now exists.''

''Love has always existed but I was too blind to see it, I guess all I
had to do was search for the right woman and watch love do the
tricks.''

''So, who is the lucky girl.''

''You'll see her soon.'' he knelt before her and his hand went into
his pocket and came out with a sparkling diamond engagment ring.
''Please, don't say no.'' he pleaded.

''What is this?'' Dami asked.

Not the kind of tone he was expecting but nevertheless he stood his
ground. Too early to think of giving up.

''I love you Dami. I've always loved you. Love at first sight. I have
only been trying hard to fight the feeling.''

''K.C, you don't know what you're doing, please stand up.''

He stretched the ring further in her direction. ''I have never been
this sure of anything since I was born.''

Dami stood up and walked few inches away from him. ''I don't love you
K.C, I am so sorry if I made you think I loved you.''

K.C's heart shattered into a thousand pieces under a minute. ''Are you
sure you don't love me?''

''I have never been this sure of anything also.'' she replied, her
arms draped around her chest.

''What about the kisses?'' he asked, sounding childish and at the same
time loosing control of his hormones and glands, especially his tear
gland.

''K.C forget about that kiss.'' she said, further shattering the
already shattered heart. ''You were down. That was why I allowed that
kiss to happen. I was only pitying you as a friend.

''A pity kiss,'' he said to himself and smiled. ''please, don't ever
pity me again.''

''K.C,'' she called.

He ignored her and rose up. ''Always remember this, I loved you and I
will always love you even though you only pity me, I don't pity you, I
love you.'' He walked to the door and opened it, ''My regards to
Rachel.''

''K.C,'' she called again, walking closer to him.

''Please don't pity me again.'' he begged. ''I guess this is where I
will say goodbye. Goodbye Dami.'' he walked out of the door.

Dami walked to the door and held it open, looking at him as he walked.
