” Jesus” I said as I saw tears falling down her cheeks, I couldn’t believe it, for Christ sake she was crying. I was confused and I didn’t know what to do but on the long run, I drew her head to my chest ” Am sorry ” I said in my best voice, I actually have a cracked voice. ” Am trying my best, you know how busy I am in the church, you know how tight my schedule is and all you could say is that am not encouraging” She shouted as she freed herself from me, ” Ah, am sorry now, it was anger” I explained now regretting why I got angry in the first place. ” Anger my feet, how can you be angry for two straight hours?” She asked still crying, ” Okay, am sorry, please forgive me” I begged but she gave no reply, Matt and Victedo weren’t awake by this time, they had gone to bed. ” Am begging o, am really sorry, please forgive me” I begged again, this time wiping the tears off her cheeks. ” Have heard you” She frowned, ” You have not heard me, am sorry” I begged again, ” Have heard you” She said still frowning, ” If you have heard me, you shouldn’t be frowning ” I told her, ” Please laugh for me” I begged. ” Okay, watch this” She said and suddenly busted into laughter like someone who was never crying, ” I caught you there, anytime you are angry, I will just cry for you and that’s it” She laughed , I smiled. ” So you made this up?” I asked her, ” But you can vex o” She laughed, ” Please don’t come late again ” I told her with a frowned face, ” I will cry for you again now when I come late” She said laughing, I smiled. ” okay, let’s continue with our reading ” I said, ” Continue what? Am tired jare, let’s play” She said, ” Play, which play?” I asked , ” Let just be talking, or don’t worry, give me your pen” she requested and I willingly gave it to her. ” Let me draw something on your hand” She said as she took my hand and started to draw on my arm, ” Don’t look o” she said and I nodded, at the end of the diagram, it was a M inscribed in a G, ” It means Mitchell and Gabriel” she laughed, I smiled.

The love I have for her continued to grow, I loved her to a fault, but one thing, I don’t want to ask her out. I wanted to see if she has someone else, I always followed my instinct, I thought she had someone and I was not ready to break her up from her lover, but I continued to love her. ” Gabi, you are dull, please ask this girl out” Victedo would always say, ” There is no harm in waiting” I told him, ” Someone else will take this girl o” he advised, ” She is already taken” I would say to myself, I don’t know why I always thought so, but I was sure of it. ” Hmm, Gabi my man, don’t dull yourself ” Victedo would always say. At a time, I got tired of the advises and decided to ask her out. . I planned asking her out like about twice but anytime I see her, I would lose the will to do so, not because I wasn’t bold , the atmosphere was not just right. ” Let me just face my studies and my story writing” I would say to myself anytime I failed to ask her out. I still always loved her, even if I had the feelings she got a guy, I didn’t care, I am the one loving here so am harming no one. I had the feeling she had someone else but got no prove till one day.

On this particular day, she was sick and I decided to go see her in her house that morning, she had personally asked me to come to her hostel to come teach her there, my happiness knew no bound. I got there and I met her lying on the bed, ” Ah, you came early o” She said, ” You asked me to come by this time ” I told her, ” Hmm, thought you would take a little longer” She said. ” I see you want to sleep” I said , ” She nodded. ” Please do, I will wait till you wake up” I smiled, ” Thank you” She told me. Now, Mitchell lives with her cousins, about 4 of them, they occupied two rooms in their hostel, one upstairs and one downstairs. On that particular day I had gone to see her, she was downstairs with her male cousin, at that point we were talking, her male Cousin, Mic was lying asleep beside her. She slept off and I sat waiting for her to wake up, just then her male cousin woke up. ” Ah , Gabriel, you are here?” He asked, ” Good day” I greeted him, he only nodded and laid down again. I occupied myself with writing of my stories with my phone , there was nothing else to do. About ten minutes later, he female cousin came in, she saw me and we greeted, we are not that cool, I don’t know why. ” Ah, is Mitchell sleeping?” She asked Mic, ” Yes o, she is” Mic replied, ” And he his waiting for her here, can’t he go to his house and rest? ” she asked Mic, she said it freely like nothing, but the words went deep into me, I could not write again but I pretended to be busy with my phone, I even had to plug my earpiece to make it look as if I wasn’t listening. ” Mitchell self” Her female cousin said and went into the kitchen. At the long run, Mitchell woke up but I didn’t teach her, I was busy with Mic, we were playing game with his PS 3. I was still occupying myself with the game when a guy visited, he took Mitchell away, he took her out. I was surprised but not much, I always knew there was someone. I wasn’t jealous either because I have come to realize that true love is never Jealous. It was around 3pm when the guy came and took her out, I played the game a little longer with Mic and waited patiently for her to come back, but all to no avail, I waited till after six for her to come back but she didn’t, I then stood up to take my leave. “Mic, tell Mitchell I got tired waiting” I smiled as I shook hands with him and left, I wasn’t angry.

That was the first prove I got that she had a guy, the second time was also in her house, this time I was teaching her when she went downstairs to take something leaving her phone with me, suddenly a call came in. It was an unknown number, I simply left the call to end before picking up the phone, the call had attracted me towards the phone. I unlocked the phone, the phone had no password, just press * to unlock. I unlocked it and went through her call logs ,I saw my number stored with my name, she had called me recently that day, so no surprise my number was the second I saw after the number that had called her recently. I scrolled down and saw another number, it was stored with ” My love” I laughed for I though it was her mom’s number, but scrolling down again, I saw a number stored with mummy and another, ” My world”.

” Gabriel, after all this you have said, I have come to a conclusion that this girl also wants to use you to get what she want” Matt told me after I narrated everything to him, ” i suspect she is a player” Victedo added, ” I know ” I smiled, ” But I still love her ” I added still smiling, Love is patient and Genuine.
