what else do you have to say? "
" What I have to say is that no matter what I will have her at all costs and even lover boy Jackie will not stop me, what ever is mine will surely be mine, I do not care about anyone, okay? She belongs to me and not Jackie even if she does not know, can someone not make a mistake? Huh? The only mistake I made was not just telling her how I felt in the first instance "
" What if you even told her how you felt about her and she rejects you, what will you do? Huh? You would do nothing, Chris, you know what? Just forget about her, okay? She is not meant for you, it is just a one-sided love, that is how I actually see it okay? "
" Tom, if only you have fallen in love before, you will understand what I mean. This young lady we are talking about has been in my heart for the past four months, how do you expect me to just forget her like that? Huh? It is not possible, to me, I believe there are still things that can be done to separate them so that she can be mine, I have lots of plans for her, I can not just let go of her like that, it is not easy if it was you, would you ?"
Tom shrugged.' of course, probably she was not meant to be mine in the first instance"
" That is not true, what I just want you to do is just help me find something to do about it, is it too much for you?"
" You know what? I will help you out, okay? Not because of what you said but because of reasons best known to me"
" I know you have no reasons but I know it is because we are best of friends, thank you Tom, so how should we plan everything "
" That will be later," by now, they had gotten to class and settled on their seats.
Chris looked around as if looking for someone.
" Wait, where is Jackie?"
" He should be probably with his girl or should I say your one-sided baby'
Chris scoffed .'it is just a matter of time before I get my girl back, just a little time, Jackie can continue keeping her company anyway'

'Guess who is behind you baby' Jack said as he blinded Naomi's face with his palm.
"Hmph. Is it that boy?'
'Which boy?" Jack asked frowning slightly.
' one naughty, silly boy who goes by the name Jack" she said smiling.
"For a while, you really scared me, I thought you wanted to mention another guy's name. so you actually recognize me from behind?' he asked as he unblinded her.
'of course, your sweet voice, your scent and also it is only you that can do something like that to me okay?'
' awnn...she likes my voice, I am blushing'
'oh common, you are not a girl"
' anyway, that is nice, at least you recognize my voice and my scent l, so how was your vacation and how did you spend it? hope you did not run off with other guys?'
' Jealous freak' she chuckled and continued, it was so boring and lonely ...a lonely vacation to be precise, I wished we were actually together, it would have been more lively you know, and besides that reminds me, you promised me a trip to the beach and also picnics'
' I am so sorry baby okay? I was just too busy throughout the vacation, I also barely had time for myself, I am sorry okay, how about I make it up to you?"
' with what and how ?'
' how about we do this? Will you come over to my house this weekend ?'
At the mention of his house, her mood suddenly changed.
' do you not like my house?'
' of course, I do but I just ... I do not think I can come over'
' is anything the matter baby? Just tell me and I will change, '
' it is not about you, okay? Just that, I do not like how your mom behaves towards me, she treats me like.. okay, let me put it this way, your mom is giving me this attitude, you know my mom and dad are not financially buoyant, we are just managing and you are wealthy, not even rich ..."
He cut her off impatiently and with a frown on his face, ' so? '.
' your mom, I do not like how she behaves whenever I come to visit you, she does not treat me the way she is supposed to treat me, she makes me feel inferior, her attitude reminds me that I do not belong to your class and I do feel somehow, I do not think I can come over, I am sorry '
He smiled .' actually, my mom thinks you are dating me because of the money we have'
'But why will she think like that?'
He chuckled, ' I guess it is normal, you know she thinks so many ladies will be after the money we have'
' was that how you also felt when you met me also?'
' hmph. not exactly but I guess so but along the line, I realized that you were not that type of person actually'
' okay then'.
' so, relax okay? Everything will be alright, she will still come around, just forget my mom, remember, you are dating me not her, it is me you have an affair with, always remember that and also, just so you know, no matter what happens, I will continue loving you and no one and nothing can change that fact, okay?'
" Okay' she said reluctantly.
'and besides, she would not even be around when you come around same also with my dad, they both went on vacation so can you see we have the house to ourselves, we have all the time to cuddle and do whatsoever'
