"How is this going to work?" Charles asked Betty still not convinced
"Just follow those steps I gave you Charles"
"And what of if it doesn't work?"
"it would Charles...trust me" He nodded without any other choice
"I'll be going home its late" she added and stood up and left. He stayed there for a while watching her till he couldn't see her again. He stood up contemplating on whether to go home or go and hang out at his friends place. He reached his home and his by a tree he saw Sonia at the door. He quietly went to Ace's house
"Hey bro"
Charles shook him and went inside. He sat on the couch making himself comfortable.
"Any problem?"
"Is it not all these girls that won't leave me"
"hmm....what of lily?"
"sigh....that girl is hard"
"How?"
"...."
"I don't believe any girl is hard o"
"Lily is!"
"How do you know"
"I have tried everything to get her but it seems like I scarce her."
"....."
"The day before I went to talk to her she fidgeted and trembled I tried coming close and she was sweating so profusely I could even hear her heartbeat pound"
"Hmm Charles"
"I don't really Know what to do"
"Forget about her"
"You say?"
"Yes!"
"I can't o"
"Why?"
"Because I love her?"
"What of all those beautiful girls that hang around you that are ready to give you what you want"
"Those ones are to catch cruise"
"Cruise?"
"What of Ashley" Ace added
"That one....I thought she had sense"
Ace shook his head
"I can remember how you ran over like a mad man trying to get that girl now she's trash"
"She is"
"That's how you want to end with lily?"
"Lily is different"
"How is she different"
"She's.....she's...."
"She's what!"
"She's everything.....she's indescribable"
"Hmm am fearing you"
"I can't bare to loose her to anyone"
"So find a way to get her"
"mm I know" he answered yawing.
"Good night" and he slept off.
The next morning he took his shower and prepared to meet Betty. He met Ashley on the way and turned on seeing her but she had already seen him.
"Charles!" she ran after him.
"Charles" she held his arm.
"What" removing his arm from her grip.
"Why are you doing this to me?"
He glared at her with disgust
"Charles please I love you"
"let that your love kill you" he answered rudely
"please Charles". holding him on his arm
"Listen Ashley I don't want to have anything to do with you get me?" he said leaving her
"Is it because of Betty?!"
He paused and turned back to her
"I won't let her take you from me never!" she continued
"No its because of lily" she fell speechless. He walked away.
"Lily?!" she repeated
"Why lily?"
"Wait lily? lily?!" she lost her mind.
"He chose lily over me?"
"Not possible...never....it can't happen!"
"I can't loose Charles" she said running away.
