Lydia met Klyde while staying over a her aunts, his uncle was married to her aunt. They've known each other for a while, laughing, talking and enjoying their friendship. Lydia liked him a lot, she thought he was so handsome, cute, she loved the way his Cologne lingered after he passed by.
That was Lydia though, she would never act on her feeling, she would rather just be friends than to go and tell someone she likes them, more than friends.
After being friends for so long, he came one day acting all funny, weird Lydia thought. Why was he doing this, did he feel the same way Lydia does? Lydia wanted to know, but how would she know this unless it plays out, she went with the flow. Klyde came around more often than usual, talking sweetly to her. It seemed that he was trying to hit on her, it would work since he and his girlfriend had broken up and that Lydia really, really liked him.
He came one day and asked Lydia to go out with him. She asked him if that's like a date and he seriously said yes, our first date. She accepted, only that there was a condition, he had to get permission from his uncle to take her out. He accepted the condition with a smile, that says he would get through. He was very confident in his planning.
Klyde wasted no time at all, he returned later that afternoon to meet with his uncle. He got a lecture of course, his uncle knew a little of what happened to Lydia in the past, that he wasn't going to risk anyone hurting her anymore.
His uncle told him, "If you know you're playing with her heart, you better stop now, you'll only get her to go if you are serious."
Klyde told him that he was serious, that he really like her and that he's only taking her to the movies. He got the okay he was looking for and smiled.
All this while Lydia was paying close attention to their conversation, wondering could she be so lucky to actually find someone to go out with her who really liked her and is doing this only because they liked her so much. Hard to believe though, she could not trust, afraid to put her trust in that relationship.
They were off to the movies, they decided to travel so that they can spend more time together. As they were walking, they passed by some of his friends standing on the road side. They called out to Klyde, some of them was saying, 'way to go', 'you did it', and another that Lydia heard was, 'you won the bet, we'll catch up later'.
Lydia was silent for a short time, just until they were far enough so no one can hear them. Lydia asked him what was all that about, he explained that his friends knew that he wanted to take her out. His friends told him that they'll make a bet with him that his uncle would not let him go out with her. He did not mention what the bet was though, but he claimed that it was just a joke. Lydia took it as that, she also really wanted to go out and have a good time.
They continued seeing each other for a while, seeing how devoted he was Lydia started trusting a little. Her aunt asked her if Klyde has spoken anything of a future with her, she nodded, no. One night while Klyde came to see Lydia, his uncle pulled him square and told him that this relationship has been going on for a while and he has not seen any progress. His uncle told him that he would like to know of his intentions before he see's Lydia next, or he won't be allowed to visit anymore.
Lydia thought they were being a bit harsh, as it's only been a few months since they started seeing each other. Her aunt warned her, not to get taken in to him for he is a player. Lydia didn't know what that was at the time.
Lydia never questioned him as to why he did not answer his uncle's question, he never mentioned what was his intention, she did not think. She was already caught up, she was happy, haven't seen her smile so much.
They didn't meet for a while but sent messages to each other, through their cousins. Everything got so weird they could not meet, he wanted this relationship so bad it seemed. He wrote of plans he had, when he fixed his house. this made Lydia feel comfortable, after that failed marriage, those failed relationships, she thought this was it. that she would finally get a home, to call her own.
Lydia's sister Rose got married a while back, was pregnant and now had a pretty lovely baby girl. She was on maternity leave and needs to go back out to work in three months time. She decided to ask Lydia to babysit for her, she'll be paid as well as have a place to stay.
Lydia accepted the offer, with open arms. Her aunt was happy for her, but what was going to happen to Klyde an Lydia now.
