The enemy you know
My grandma used to say once you know your enemy he or she can't harm you again but if you don't know your enemy then your life is in danger
And the Bible even said it is good to keep your friend close but your enemy closer, though I don't know why but I guess to keep a close checking on them so that they won't harm you.
A story of two friends was shared where I went to make hair yesterday they were so close to the extent that they wear the same design of clothes, I do tell people that it's good to know your enemy than your friend because your best friend might be your worse enemy.
The two friends were named Florence and Flora they are both more like a sister to each other but there is are things about Florence that Flora doesn't notice which is jealousy and hot temper, she thought that's her nature but I say anyone who has this two things together should be avoided because a jealousy person can actually out someone's life in danger and if someone is too hot temper her or she will do things without thinking of the outcome then they will regret later after creating problems for themselves and others.
The story continues.......
Right from childhood Flora has always sacrificed for Florence because she loves her so much and when they grew up she is always like that Flora is used to sacrificing for Florence as usual but there is one thing Flora can't afford to sacrifice for Florence and the thing is her love.
Nathaniel met Flora first way back in the secondary school and they both crushed on each other but they didn't get to date because Nathaniel's parents left the country for a business and they took him along with them and along the line, they both lost contact and ever since then Flora never fall in love with any man because her heart was sealed with Nathaniel's love and the same thing happened to Nathaniel too in oversea and he couldn't wait to meet her again but Flora didn't hope for him because she didn't know where to locate him even though he came back to the city.
On the other side, Florence is a very open girl who loves to mingle anytime she's single and Flora does warn her because one day she might end up falling in love and the love might hurt her so bad but she won't listen because she's adamant when it comes to the truth.
They are both 22 years of age but Flora is just 3months older, on her birthday Florence forcefully took her out to the club and Flora wasn't cool with the setting because she doesn't like going out but the outing was just like a miracle for her she doesn't take alcohol but her friend manipulate her to take a little which she did and she wasn't comfortable so she had to go to the restroom to ease herself and on her way, she coincidentally meets her first love Nathaniel and wow they both were surprised to meet each other again after a very long time.
She couldn't hold it back because of the alcohol in her body system she quickly hug him and he was so happy to have her in his arms because he has been dreaming to have it ever since his childhood but there was no chance to because he was too young to take her out and she was too young to go out as well but when something is meant for you then no matter how long it takes to have it or how far you are that same thing will find you and you will have it that's what happened to Flora and Nathaniel the day they found each other again at the club, it was as if they are both craving to hug each other for a very long time.
