Nix was shocked at what he saw. Liam's face had darkened as he landed a heavy punch at Linax on the abdomen.
"Hey hey take it easy" Nix shouted as he ran over to them. Liam glared at him and turned to leave but Nix grabbed his hand and sat him down. Linax sat next to Nix for fear of another hit.
'So you liked her?
Liam didn't respond
"How did it happen?" Nix asked softly but still, the man didn't respond
They sat as a wave of silence enveloped them.
"She's nice...calm....natural...I thought she was meant to be mine"
"She's Dilan's Liam"
"Because you found yours right? Because Betty loves you right huh? you want to mock me now huh?" Liam blurted in anger. He raised his fist to hit nix but nix swiftly grabbed his fist
"She's him now and there's nothing you can do about it if love found me it would find you too" Nix replied as he looked at the two men who had the opportunity to love but unfortunately their love was not reciprocated.
He left linax and Liam who were still frozen. Linax walked over to Liam, and Rahim on him on the back, and the latter hugged him tightly Nix could only sigh there were a lot of emotions rushing through him right now. He picked up his phone and stared at his screen
"I am lucky to have found you, Betty"
He smiled as he walked out. He drove to Betty's place to find out from her how lily got to accept Dilan just like that. He believed she must have done something.....
Knock knock
"Nix..." She couldn't complete her words because his lips had slammed on hers. She gently pushed herself away from him while she tried to dress her already fumbled clothes. Nix licked his lips sexily as he drew her closer to him
"I've missed you so badly" he whispered behind her ear which made her shudder
"Put yourself together Betty" she screamed to herself
" What happened between lily and Dilan," she said
Nix let go of her
"Don't you want to talk about us?" he smiled as he sat down. She sat next to him
"stop it nix...just talk already," she said hitting him lightly
"Okay okay....on one condition," he said and Betty kissed him hard, she parted as she gasped for air
"Now talk"
Nix smiled to himself
"Well, first you have to tell me how did you convince her too....."
"I didn't convince her, she decided on her own" she added quickly
"On her own?"
"Yes when you left, I told her about Dilan and I noticed that whenever I mentioned his name her mood changed I asked her what was wrong and she began to explain everything, so I asked her if she liked Dilan" Betty paused
"What did she say?" Nix asked. Betty smiled as she stood up and went out of her garden. Nix followed suit
"Betty?"
"What?" Betty asked as if she didn't know why he called her name
He slid his hand on her waist
"If you don't talk...I guess ill have to..."
"Okay, ill talk...Tch" she replied releasing herself from nix's grip
"She didn't quite give me an answer but the way she glared at me.....made me weak in the knees..."
"She's changed he muttered cutting off Betty
"Yes.. and as I was saying...When I told her about the engagement she asked how it concerned her so told her that if she had to choose between Charles or Dilan who would she rather go for she said none."
"but she then stood up and said she'll want to marry Dilan. I asked why the sudden change and she said that her dad had already sold her to a man since she refused to get married. So she preferred to get married to Dilan on the basis that she was sure he won't develop feelings for her." she summarised
"So she agreed to marry him because she knew he could never have feelings for her?" nix asked
Betty nodded
"How sure is she?"
"Am very sure.....he can't" lily answered from behind them.
"What if you begin to have wavy feelings towards him?" nix asked her as she neared them
"I can't I'm Philophobic....."
"It doesn't mean you can't still fall in love?" anix answered.
