MATT POV
I put my phone back in my pocket. I had just spoken to Lovett, her voice is the sweetest song to wake up to.
I love her name Lovett 'cute' and she is so cute too, the name looks good on pppppppp
I wonder why she paid no attenti to her health and work herself to such a pit, I must confess that yesterday night I was a bit scared of having a dying girl in my arms.
The instant I touched her I knew something was wrong with her health but I patiently listened to her as she recounts her ordeal.
What she went through can cause anyone to ignore their health for sure, my first thought was to move her straight to the hospital, I thought it wise to drop her things at my house.
As we walked home her temperature dropped considerably so I thought she was out of the wood till I offer her something to take and all hell let loose.
How I knew all that she needs at that point was comfort was beyond me I just followed my instinct and it paid well, I just have to give her the comfort she needed and that put so much joy in me.
My mind wandered back to when I spotted her yesterday, I notices she had worked herself into a frenzy,
When she caught my eyes sitting on the pavement by the road, with all her things beside her my heartbeat had stopped for several seconds.
She looked so vulnerable and lost and my heart breaks for her, the thought I almost went to bed did a jab in my heart and I bless God for my lack of milk and my crazy for early morning coffee.
I notice she was muttering something to herself almost like she was chanting a rhyme, listening to her story some moment later I understood why she was in the state I met her.
No one should have to go through what she had just gone through, just wished I had been there for her much earlier than now.
Shaking the thought out of my head, I know can't do anything to change what has happened I just want to make things easy for her from this time forward.
I guess I will just have to treat her like my sister. My heart missed a beat once more as it rebelled against the thought of being a brother to her.
I know that right now she did not need another of her cousin in her life. I will just have to train my junior to behave around her.
I have to put my feelings for her on hold till she feels the same and if not I will just have to play a brotherly role in her life.
Who am I kidding the thought of playing a brotherly role in her life left a bitter taste. I guess I have to work hard in making her feel what I feel.
If it is not meant to be though, I won't force it I am never known to force any relationship as girls fall over themselves to have me here in school.
I checked my wristwatch and sighed, lectures start in six minutes, guest I will a bit late for this class as I am still at the school love garden almost 7 kilometres away from where my classes are held.
I quickly pack my books and things together, just as I stood to leave, I felt a hand snaked around my waist, turned around slowly and just as her lips landed on mine.
I froze as I smell the familiar perfume and knew in that instant who the intruder was. I allowed her to kiss me but I did not respond.
After a while, she broke the kiss-off, I am way pissed off, I do not know why she kept thinking I could do a thing with her.
"Not that she is a bad girl or that she sleeps around, I am not just into her, I have no feelings for her and I can't even fake one.
When she had first told me that she has feelings for me and will love us to date, I for the want of not disgracing her accepted, but now I regret my decision.
" Her touch and kisses irritate the hell out of me, I know I cannot allow this to continue. I have to end things right now before things get out of hand.
I have tried in earlier days to subtlely end this thing I can give a name to that is exist between, this affair that never started for me.
"Jenifer good morning," I said as I pushed her gently away from me.
checking my time again I realised I did not have time for this at this time I am far too late, I guest ending this as to be another time
"Hello, darling how was your weekend I missed you badly." I rolled my eyes as I do not feel the same.
She tried to snake her hands around my waist once more but I moved back quickly enough to avoid her
"We need to talk but not now I am late for my first class," I said she quickly check her wristwatch and apologies immediately.
"I am sorry, I did not take cognizance of the time I am late for class too let's walk down together" she suggested, but I declined with the shaking of my head then explained
"Your steps will slow me down, I rather walk alone and fast." she looked disappointed but I will have her look that way that more people see us together.
My friends had begun to muck me already, the girl is way too plastic for our liking.
Anytime I seat with my friends and they are in the mood to piss me up, they raise Jenifer as a topic knowing fully well it will reel me out.
"Ok," she said as she watch me leave her behind walking away very quickly. I did not look back to see if she left the spot for her classes or not.
I dropped my last book in my laptop park and stood up, I am through with the lecture for the day, gratefully no lecturer gave any assignment so I am good
The only assignment I have so far for this semester is due for summitting next two weeks but I am done with it already.
My uncle's work takes up most of my time and I tend to forget my assignment a lot. In my first year here or so I almost had a carryover in most of my core courses and that led to a serious drop in my CGPA.
Now I do my assignment the instant it is given to avoid late submission, or my work being rejected.
Just as I made move to stand up with I belongs, Jenifer high pitched voice rang throughout the room.
"Hello darling" I almost close my ear to the almost deafening sound, what does she want now, I thought rolling my eyes then I remembered I promised to see her later today and end things
"Hello you," I said finally standing up at the same time backing my laptop bad
"How was your day?" she asked closing the gap us up, she tried to kiss me but I dodged this time, thankfully I saw her coming and quickly avert the clinching kiss.
"We need to talk" she saw the seriousness in my expression and pout, then gave me the much-needed space.
"So what is so important you won't even greet me, did I do anything wrong?" she asked and I shook my head indicating no
" I really must say I am very sorry but I am not into this relationship" she stepped further away from me and I noticed she narrowed her eyes.
I had known that getting out of this mess wasn't going to be easy but it is one thing I must do
I had tried hard to develop feelings for you but I can't." I continued she ran her hands through her hair saying nothing.
She is not going to make this easy for me, I get it. so I talked on
"See I am very sorry for any inconveniences I had cost you."
"like seriously, just like that, I am just too buss out of your life? what about my feelings? it doesn't count?" she screamed at me.
Not the reaction I expected judging from the fate that she forced me into this. yet I could understand her feelings. but she should try understanding mine too, it takes two to tangle
"I know you have feelings for me but I do not feel the same, I am sorry ok. I believe there is someone out there who will worship the ground you tread, I am not just good enough for you.
She studied me for a while then asked "Who is the new girl"
"Not someone you know," I said
"For how long have you been cheating on me?" she asked calmly
"Don't say that, we didn't even get intimate," I said quickly reminding her I hardly even kiss her on any occasion all the feeling was from her side.
"Just answer me" she said still very calmly
"I just meet her this weekend," I answered truthfully.
"And you decided it is best to let me go with no care for my feelings?" she asked this time losing her cool slightly.
"Will you prefer I cheat on you then?" I ask matching her tone
"You are mad, you must be crazy." she rushed towards me I pivoted and in a race against being injured, I ran out of the lecture room with her trailing behind.
Once outside I quickly lost her by taking more than two sharp bends
"I said I am sorry
