Chapter 2

• I was made to believe in love, Xavier made me madly in love. I loved him so much and guessed he loved me as much as I loved him.
• After all the love and sweeteners and cinnamon, I caught him cheating on me on this blessed day. I did not believe my eyes because it seemed unbelievable.
• It may sound unbelievable to you or maybe not because maybe you have been in my position before. LOL, cry me a river because of some child called a boyfriend.
• That blessed day, I suggested that we should go meet up and at least have fun because I missed him and badly wanted to see him, which he obliged.
• He said he was busy and wouldn't have the time for the fun I needed. When I asked him what was keeping him busy, he hesitated for a while before telling me that he had an academic project to handle and that the deadline was close.
• That answer he gave and the way he hesitated before answering made me feel he was lying and making up because maybe I don't know. It's all past, dead and gone.
• But still, I persisted " Xavier darling.... Babe" I called him flirtatiously and blushed from my angle.
• While I spoke, I was already dressing up and was drawing the mascara on my eyelid while looking at my face in the mirror and holding the phone.
• "Okay, can I at least come over you know? Since you are at home already. It would be better if I came. You know?" I giggled silently and wiped off the mistake I had made while drawing my mascara.
• He replied " No, there's absolutely no need for you to come over. Like I said, I am busy already and I don't need any distraction " He said bluntly, I noticed the tone in his voice but I attributed it to the stress coming from his project.
• On one hand, I was hurt by the way he spoke to me, mostly the way he put it to me.
• " Babe, I would just love it if you come though ...but you know you are my worst distraction," He said with a chuckle, maybe he sensed that I was hurt because I never said anything back to him when he paused.
• I giggled slightly from the intoxication of love and because he said I was his worst distraction. The pickup line and hypotonic rejection of my coming worked pretty well on me.
• I slouched on the chair in my room and replied "Okay.. there's no problem. You have to finish up your work right? It's nothing. Good luck with your work."
• "Babe, I hope you are not sad or mad at me?" He asked with a sweet calm voice that made me smile but I never knew it was a form of manipulative skill he had.
• " I was but no more hunny pie, I understand that you are busy so… I don't have to be a reason why you'd get distracted. I am not mad, '' I replied.
• "Okay baby, I love you. So much " He said to me and my stomach fluttered. The butterflies in my belly danced and almost chewed my stomach up.
• "I love you too baby boy. I love you more. Mmua" I said, kissing the screen of my phone as I hoped the kiss would get to him on the other end.
• "Mmua, I love you morest. Bye. Talk to you later" He hung up on me before I could even say bye too.
• I took a deep breath and decided I was not going to waste my makeup and the way I looked all ate up. I decided to call my best friend Karen.
• I dialed her number and she picked up her phone.
• " Hello baby girl," She said in her sweet voice.
• " Hello, hunny bunny." I paused and continued " I was bored and I thought maybe if you are free, I mean..we should hang out right now if you don't mind?" I said calmly expecting a yes answer because she loves outings.
• " Ummm.. Becky.. I am really engaged right now, like really really busy. I would have loved to come, you know, but I am really engaged though. Let's make it up another time and I'll be there" She explained, more like rejecting my invitation.
• Second rejection in a row, and I am gasping for breaths.
• " Are you at home, if you are that busy? I mean I could just come to stay, maybe help but I won't disturb" Becky was not backing down on her request.
• They say never back down never what? Never give up.
• " No hun, I am not at home right now…I went out with my mom." She said to me as if in a hurry.
• "Okay then, there is no problem. We'll talk later." I said to her before I hung up.
• I wouldn't love to be rejected on a row and also be hung up on a row too. Like they say once bitten twice shy.
• I threw my phone beside me on the bed, I got up from the bed and paced around my room for a few seconds. I needed to keep myself engaged and busy.
• I sank onto my bed like a log of wood and screamed at the top of my voice. Luckily my mom was not home. Even if she was, I don't care.
• I got up from the bed deciding to take myself out to anywhere my spirit would lead me to.
• I stepped down, my feet landed on the Crocs. I put it in and picked up my face cap. I wore it and checked myself one time in the mirror again before going out.
• I was proud of what I saw. Beauty runs in my genes like a waterfall. I blew a kiss in the mirror, don't think I am crazy. Oh well, I am a crazy weird girl.
• I opened my door.
