Part 2

After that day, I never used biscuits and sweets as a means of visiting her again. I visit her from time to time without pretense. One of those days, I told her of how I always planned to come and buy biscuits and sweets just to see her, we both laughed. We became best of friends. She'll come to my house also.

We were only friends before the love came in. I started having feelings for her. I knew she liked me too, but I don't think she was ready for a relationship. I don't know how the feeling suddenly came, I couldn't take my mind off it, so I decided to limit my visit to her house, probably I will lose interest in her as time goes on. To be honest, the distance I thought would help my situation actually made the feeling grow stronger. She noticed I wasn't coming to her place regularly again, so she doubled her visit to my house. Somebody call the doctor, I'm losing my mind. Someone I'm keeping distance from is coming closer to me. I knew she wasn't doing it intentionally because she never knew I had feelings for her.

Speaking to myself.....

What if? I told her how I feel, how will she feel?

How come? I wondered how come the feelings came. Wondered how she suddenly became a part of me. Did she cast a spell on me?

Coincidentally our birthdays happen to be the same month. I'm was born on December 22nd while she was born on December 15th. But I am a year older than her. A day before her 18th birthday, I decided to take the opportunity to ask her out. I started making plans on how I was going to ask her out. She was the first girl I'll be asking out.

On her birthday, she threw a little party. She only invited two of her friends from school. So the party was done just by the four of us, Myself, Gift and her two friends. After several practices a night before, I still couldn't find the courage to tell her how I felt about her. Till the party ended, I didn't mention something of such. As soon as the party was over, she saw her friends off. I was alone in the living room thinking of my first move. I was still wracking my brain when she walked in and said Abhayyy!!!

(Ghen Ghen!) I decided to man up and speak my mind. I started;

Me: Gift

Gift: Yes?

Me: This matter has been bothering me for a long time now, I don't know how you will feel when I say this. I.....(mumbling)

Gift: What is wrong?

(What the!!! So this girl hasn't gotten what I'm trying to say) But how did I even expect her to know? Instead of going straight to the point, I started telling stories that touch.

Me: If you notice, I don't come to your house often like before.

Gift: Oh- ohh, that's true, but why?

Me: You're too beautiful to be seen for free every day.

She smiled...

Wow it worked, she smiled. That smile alone gave me the go-ahead. It's either now or never, it's time to go straight to the point.

Me: Gift you are the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. I don't know how you will feel after hearing this, but I just want to tell you I love you, and I want you to be my girlfriend.

( My burden is light, I've spoken my mind, now it's left to her.) At this moment, I wasn't the one standing in front of her. My body was there, but my spirit wasn't

Gift: (smiles).... But you still haven't told me why you reduced your coming to my house "she said". I explained to her I've had the feelings for a long time, and I couldn't control it, so I thought staying away from her would help me get the feelings off my mind. But instead, I kept falling in love more and more.

She smiled and said, I love you too.

( Goosebumps all over my body)

Why do you think I constantly come to your house when you weren't showing up here again? She said.

I know you love me, and I love you too. Now that you have finally spoken your mind, I am ready to be your girlfriend.

I was short of words, I was very happy that I didn't know when I was celebrating like a player that just scored a goal.

Don't ever try staying away from me "she said"

We both smiled as we hugged each other.
