Chereads / Can't Hold It Back / Chapter 11 - 13. My Dilemma

Chapter 11 - 13. My Dilemma

One week later, we went to visit the beach. Goodness, I don't wanna meet nor talk to that son of a bitch, he's such a jerk. Though I used to like him, I got to know Justin, who would be every girls dream. The last time we met, which was two days ago, he told me about his dad who wanted him to marry a girl that he chooses for him but he refused. He was able to convince his authoritarian dad to allow him come to a summer holiday which made him to meet me. He always makes me feel special and like the best lady in the whole universe. I love him so much. Though he didn't tell me anything about he loving me but I could see it in his eyes every time we meet. I invited him over to the beach so that he can meet Bryant and Cindy. He is now my bestie so they ought to know him.

"Valerie, isn't your mysterious guy coming anymore," Bryant teased, I rolled my eyes and answered,"He will come, he's just a busy person." I wasn't too sure on why Justin was not there so I tried texting him.

Me: Ain't you coming over again Justin?

Bestie: Is it today?๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

Me: Don't tell me you've forgotten about it? ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ณ

Bestie: Sorry dear, I totally forgot. I'll be there in no time at all.๐Ÿ„๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ„๐Ÿผ Look at me coming.

Me: Hahaha very funny. Now hurry up and get your ass down here now!!๐Ÿคฌ๐Ÿคฌ

I pocketed my phone and laid back down on the chair. "Do not worry Bryant Lytton and Princess Cindy, my new bestie will be here in no time," I said confidentially. Few minutes later, I heard my phone beep so I checkedโ€ฆ

Bestie: Where exactly are you guys located?

Me: Ninety degrees longitude southern horizon.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

Bestie: Be serious on this matter at least eh.๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ™„

Me: I can see you, I will walk towards you. I'm in blue skirt with a club top.

Bestie: Which colour is the club top?๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

Me: It is somewhat hot pink with a horse drawn in it. Now enough of the chatting, I've raised my hand, see me.

I went and hugged him as he came to meet me. "You look so beautiful in your dress my bestie," he commended while passing his hands through his hair. "Thank you for your words are so sweet," I responded, I held his hand and continued,"Let's go dear." We both walked to where Bryant and Cindy were.

I carped softly,"Get up Bryant, Cindy, my new friend is here to see you guys." They got up hurriedly as if someone poured a coal of fire on them. They smiled when they saw me holding him so tight. "Bryant, Cindy, meet my new friend Justin, who also came for summer holiday like us, and Justin, meet my two lover birds, Bryant and Cindy," I blabbered, as I was pointing at each one of them. Justin pulled out his hands to shake them but received a warm hug from them instead. My friends were so friendly that they behave as if they know you even if they've known you for only a day or two. They spoke with him for long to require more about him, his interest, favourite food, games and a whole lot of personal stuffs. They left me sitting down idle so I protested,"He is my bestie, not anyone's. So if you agree, I want to talk to him while you both do your pillow talk on the sand. Okay." I then dragged him away. We walked on the shore and the breeze was just wonderful. After some few minutes of silence,he broke the silence saying,"Have you ever imagined the both of us having a life together." Wow, I love the questions that are coming up. "Yeah, sometimes, I do think about it, but don't worry, every kind of person does that," I answered shivering. Finally, today he will ask me the question, I've been yearning for. He opened his mouth to speak but that same girl who have been in interfering in our talks each time, walked in. "Hi Justin, you look so hot today. How are you?"she greeted. "I'm good Tracey Edmonds, how have you been?" he responded. I became furious so I turned a deaf ear to all they were saying, when I couldn't take it any longer, I said,"Let me take the lead, when you're done, you'll definitely catch up with me, okay." He behaved as if he just didn't care, he just nodded his head and I left. 'How could he be so selfish, I hate it when people behave as I do not exist in the picture of the conversationโ€ฆhmmโ€ฆI just hope that he doesn't change his about me,'I thought to myself. I lost concentration of myself, in case you are wondering, I am a very emotional person so things affect me easily. Suddenly, I heard someone call me aloud from behind and when I stopped, I saw a huge rough curved stone in front of me, had the person not call me, I would have hit my body of that stone and I bet you my body would have gotten the wounds of a lifetime. "What is wrong with you Valerie? You've lost concentration of yourself and you would have hurt yourself," a voice said behind me. I turned my head only to find Justin running towards me. A beam of smile came on my face, but when I remembered that which happened, I returned my normal face back. "I'm fine dear," I replied shabbily. He looked straight up into my eyes and said,"Don't be jealous Valerie, you know you're myโ€ฆto tell you the fact, I like you Valerieโ€ฆI mean, I love you and I want you to be my girlfriend. Since the time you came into my life, my life wasn't the same anymore. My life was filled with joy and I see myself smiling each and every moment of my life Valerie. I love you so much." Words could not explain how happy I was that very moment. Finally, he said it, and usually, as a lady, a proud one for that matter, I had to showcase my pride. Though I wanted to say yesโ€ฆI wanted to say it later. Before I was able to utter a word, he cut in,"Take all the time that you want in this world to think about it, Valerie." He walked towards me, held my hand and kissed me on my cheek, moved to my forehead and settled on my lips. I could feel my heart beating very fast, against my ribs, he then dragged me into his arms and hugged me as if I'll disappear if he doesn't hold onto me tight. My phone rang, when I answered, I didn't even talk before Bryant told me that they were taking the lead so I should come straight to the hotel. Justin carried me on his motorbike to the hotel. He was staying in another hotel, not all that far from ours. I got down, gave him a hug and went back into the hotel.

"Looks like someone is blushing," Bryant lisped and Cindy agreed, dragged me to her bed, sat me down and said,"Do you mind giving us any gist about your walk with your bestie." I took a deep breathe and narrated everything to them. "Oh my goodness girlโ€ฆyou now have a boyfriend?" Cindy shouted. "Keep it down Cindy, we're not in your country or your kingdom okay," I scolded. He left out a pretending cry,"Sorry sorry Valerie, I'll not do it again," she stopped abruptly, laughed and sang"So now, my friend got a boyfriend, you got a boyfriend." "Stop it Cindy, I've not accepted his proposal yet, anyway I wanna have a nap, so please I don't want any disturbances from any of you. Okay," I carped. Cindy protested, "What if Justin calls you?" I rolled my eyes and fell onto my bed. Now I can sleep in peace, knowing that I'll wake up and have Justin being mine and no one else's.

I woke up around six o'clock in the evening only to find a note on Cindy's bed which said, 'Bryant and I are going on a date and since you were fast asleep, we couldn't wake you up and tell you. We'll be back late so don't worry about us. PS: Justin called you but you were asleep, call him back, he must be worried about you.' After reading the note, I knew very well that, Cindy might be lying when she said that so I texted him.

Me: Good evening dear.

(Five minutes later, he responded)

Bestie: Good evening, how was your sleep?

Me: It was good.

Bestie: Dreaming about me?๐Ÿคญ๐Ÿคญ๐Ÿคญ

Me: About that, can we meet tonight?

Bestie: Tonight? Anything the problem?๐Ÿค”

Me: No, it is just about what you told me this afternoon. I want to give you my reply.๐Ÿ˜ถ๐Ÿ˜ถ

Bestie: Really?๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ณ Now I'm beginning to get scared.๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

Me: Don't be scared dear, just hope for the best.๐Ÿ˜Œ

Bestie: Where should we meet up? ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”

Me: The same place we made friends first.

Bestie: Okay, I'll be on my way now. You know I'll always be there if you call.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

Me: Awwh ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—, that's so so sweet of you dear ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฅฐ. Bye dear, see you later.๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿ‘‹

I quickly got up, dressed up in one of my favorites, put on some makeup and went out to meet myโ€ฆ

On my way, I met Kevin, who was going downstairs. I've seen him in a long time now, and I made sure that he didn't see me but luck wasn't really on my side. I froze when he drew closer to me, I could not deny the fact that, he was hot, sexy and any girl would yearn for him. "Hello there pretty girl," he greeted, I wanted to resist showing any gesture of fear but I couldn't. "Am I scaring you dear? Oh I'm sorry okay," he said while pressing me to the wall of my door. "Whatโ€ฆwhat, areโ€ฆ you doingโ€ฆto me?" I stammered. Not now Kevin, here I was going to give a yes to Justin, my crush and here is my other crush, holding me back. What am I supposed to do now? "Tell me you don't want me, tell me, you are in love with someone else but not me," he said. He brought his mouth closer to mine to kiss me but I was strong enough to reject him. There was alcohol smelling in his mouth and I knew that, he was drank. Having pity on the poor boy, I took him to our room, ordered for some hot water and white towel which was brought within a twinkle of an eye. I placed the towel into the water, squeezed it and placed it on his head. I couldn't be so wicked to keep Justin waiting for me all night, so I paid one of the waitresses in the hotel to look after him while I go to meet Justin. As I got up to go, he held my hand and said, "Please don't leave me alone. You are the only person that can take care of me, no one else." He was sleep talking so I took my mouth to his ears and whispered,"I am not your girlfriend damn it. I am going to meet someone who can help me progress in life, don't embarrass yourself please." Suddenly my phone beeped.

Bestie: Where are you Valerie, I've been waiting for you for over an hour now.๐Ÿคจ๐Ÿคจ

Me: Sorry about that Justin, I met with a problem which needed immediate attention. I'm already on my way there now.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

Bestie: How could you do such a thing to me Valerie? Keeping someone like me waiting for you, for this long is an offence.๐Ÿ˜’๐Ÿ˜’ Make sure you bring something that will compensate me when you're coming.๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ˜Œ

Me: Don't worry, my mission for meeting you is already compensating.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜โ˜บ๏ธโ˜บ๏ธ

I closed the chat, placed my phone into my bag and started my journey.
