Episode 7.
I already broke up with Alex but once in a while he still calls or at times texts me on whatsapp or messenger just to check up on me. I'm here at Fame's house trying to sort out our underlying issues.Alex's call came through at the wrong time not that there was always a right time he calls.
One way or the other I still have a tiny soft spot for him.I know we're no longer dating but hearing his voice over the phone always reminds me of old times which makes me smile sheepishly while conversing with him.
My phone already rang twice with the ringtone "like I do"by fireboy Dml. He is a whole vibe full of raw talent and originality.I love his songs.Fame was sitting on the double seated couch and me beside him while my phone was laying on the single seat couch.It was at the third ring I stood to pick up with Fame giving me the angry look on his face I wasn't comfortable conversing with Alex in Fame's presence I had to give space.
"How are you?
"I'm fine and you?
"I'm good".
"OK".So why did you call?
"Nothing, just checking on you".
"Why?
"Because I still love you but you are not seeing it".
"Oh really!
"Yes".Daula you know I've always loved you. I barely go a day without thinking about you.No matter how many girls I come across there has never been one like you. Truth is I've been looking for you in every girl i come across.Yes I know I lied to you about Benita being just my colleague at work and I know you are still angry with me.I need you back babe.Don't worry we won't have a child now.You know, no matter how headstrong I want to be somehow somewhere you are still there in my head and mind. Your presence intoxicated me in my ecstasy. You are damn beautiful not just that you are a perfect definition of beauty with brains.
"I love you".please give me a second chance. I promise to make things right this time.
Please… …
After listening to Alex I managed to mutter.
"OK.I will think about it ".
'Thank you'."I will always remember ``I love you".
***sighs***
OK. bye..
'What the hell just happened? Alex needs me back.!No way!!
This is just too much for me to handle. I'm here trying to convince myself that Fame and I will work out and now Alex is calling for a reunion.
'What in heaven's name I've gotten myself into?...
Are you ok?
Ah! Yes I am.
That was Alex right?
Yes.
What does he want this time?
'Nothing important 'I replied with a fake smile.
Are you sure?
'yes. Just his normal checking up.
'That doesn't look like a checking up call'.You spent time over that phone call and you're telling me" it's just a normal checking up call"oh really?
You know what Fame you are just jealous of Alex.
"No I'm not jealous.I just see the way you smile at his call and the joy that comes while conversing with him over the phone. It only shows you still love him.
