Betrayal - Season 3 - Episode 17

*continues*

Chike took us to an exquisite restaurant at the other end of the town. The food they served was really well cooked and delicious. The scenery super cool and lively, unlike other noisy crowded restaurants i have been to.
“i really was wondering the reason you drove a great distance just for ordinary lunch, but now i clearly see the reason. I love this place” Amara giggled as we ate the fried rice we ordered. Chike laughed and glanced at me.

“yea i love the environment and everything around here. The food is grade A but expensive, Perhaps that’s the reason few people come around” he replied.
“don’t talk like that cousin, i’m very sure they make lots of profit” Amara argued. He shrugged, sipped his drink and winked at me.
“hope you like the rice?, i don’t really understand what you girls see in rice” he smiled.

“the food is awesome, thank you” i murmured polietly, dropping my eyes nervously.

“i forgot to show you the novels i brought for you. They are in the car” he said to me.
“wow i can’t wait to see them” i smiled.
“you know Cyndii, i came back home from london mostly to see my family and search for a girl i could relate with, hopefully get married if things work out well. But luck really wasn’t on my side till i met you. I met many girls, but they lacked one thing or the other. Finally i am stuck with your shadow and I know you crossed my path for a reason, though i’m yet to figure it all out” he said calmly. My hands shook as i listened to him.
“Amara told me your story, a very interesting one you have got dear” he smiled, making me more nervous and uncomfortable. I kept mute, because i really didn’t know what to say.
“i know i shouldn’t get involved in your problems, but i sincerely do like you. If by any chance you feel like giving your heart another trial. Hmmmm” he breathed deeply and threw a glance at Amara.

“i can make use of the promotion. Don’t hesitate to upgrade our friendship” he seriously joked. I stared at him and smiled.
I was begining to like him more, and due to the surge in interest, many questions instantly popped up in my mind, but i couldn’t get myself to ask him, which made me reserve it for Amara.

“perhaps she is right after all. I could learn to love him if only i give my heart the chance”

“But is falling in and out of love healthy and appropriate for a lady?” i wondered sadly.

ONLY IF I WAS A BOY.
