Anita pouted and crossed her arms, she was also staring at her friend too. She knew what she said was insane. She also knew her heart was crazy but, what could she do? Her heart was no longer in her control.
"When did that start, Anita?" Becky asked as she hurried back and held her friend shoulders. She wouldn't wait to get the whole jest, "Tell me, when did you start having this crazy feelings?" She added, excitedly.
Anita looked into her friend's eyes and saw that she was genuinely concerned for her. And also, interested the knowing how the love grew in Anita's heart.
"I don't know either... I just... I just started liking him... It's been hard but I can't help it, girlfriend." Anita replied and wiped the single tear that escaped her eye. How was she going to tell her friend? She sighed and looked up at her friend.
"We both know how this guy is. You and I know he is as hard as a rock. Only hiss stony face is enough to send all hearts away... no doubt but, he is handsome. Yes! Very handsome! He can even be compared to my Cain but his heart is ugly, Ani. Gosh! I wish you can understand this. That guy, I'm sure he can never fall in love with anyone. I'm not even sure if he can ever settle down in his life... maybe he had gone through a lot when he was young but that man is a saddist! Your heart will be in trouble if you don't control it. Please..." Becky begged her friend.
The man Anita fell in love with was someone she should never fall for. Not because he is bad but because, he can never love anyone and he's status is unimaginable.
Anita took two steps back as more tears fell from her eyes, she wasn't pained but she just felt the need to, "I'm sorry, Becky. I know, I always complain about him when we just started working here but, my silly heart is crazily crushing for him right now that I can even comprehend it myself." Becky blinked in shock. Was it really love? Anita continued, overlooking her friend's reaction, "I know Mr Lucian can never love me back but I'm not ready to ever leave his side, Becky... I just want to see his face everyday and be by his side even if it's this way." Anita wiped her tears and sat back on the seat behind her.
Becky heart raced and her chest aches. She knew better than anyone that Lucian wasn't someone who could fall in love. His face was always that of sadness and that never changed even after she had worked for him for good four years already. Rumours has it that all the girls he dated, eventually left him leaving one complain or the other.
Anita would get hurt at the end of the day and would also lose her dreams! Those dreams they had together... what they wished to become and all their plans would go down the drain. Becky held her chest as she walked back to her seat and sat on it, "Anita... are you going to let go of your dreams for a man who will never love you? Are you ready to let go of everything because of this man?" She asked her friend as tears rolled down her pretty face.
Anita sobbed quietly and that gave answer to Becky's question. Becky knew right then that she could never change her friend decision any longer.
"If I can win his heart, I will get more than i dreamed. Even if he doesn't accept me, my dreams won't die because, I am still working hard and earning more and hope to be the next to get promoted.
Becky that if she can't change it then, she would support It. She sighed, "Okay then... I wish you the best of luck in winning his heart over." She forced a wry smile, "Actually... it would be great to see my best friend and my boss together. That way I will be able to pull his ear anytime he scold me! And go shopping to the most expensive malls and even, make orders." She said causally and laughed.
Anita laughed too and stood up. She walked to Becky and gave her a warm hug, "Thank you, girlfriend! I am so glad i have a friend like you. You are so supportive and you are a blessing to me, Becky!" She said honestly, and kissed her cheek.
Becky smiled and hugged her friend back, "I pray you accept my crazy friend's heart, Mr Lucian!" She prayed in her mind.
Anita broke the hug and went back to pick the files. She brought it back to Becky's table and dropped it on Becky's table.
"So, when do you intend leaving?" She asked Becky.
Becky let out a deep breath and smiled, "I don't know yet... I have to talk with Cain first. He will decide that." she replied as she was eager to tell Cain about the promotion. It was also a way for Cain to follow her and meet her family too.
Anita smiled sadly. She would really miss her friend so much. They had never been apart from each other since their childhood. They were always close to each other and Anita wondered how they would be able to cope with this.
"Will Cain go with you? I'm sure he won't be able to stay back without you." Anita asked.
"I can't say yet but, I hope he will be free to go with me."
Becky got home earlier than usual and met Cain watching football on the TV. He was only in his robe and it was obvious he started watching the ball immediately he took his bath. He was a football lover and would never miss a match for any thing.
There was a cup of beer beside him that he was slowly sipping and enjoying his privacy all alone!
"Welcome, baby!" He greeted with his eyes still focused on the football.
"Yeah, baby!" Becky replied and walked toward the stairs. She didn't know anything about ball and she wouldn't waste her time watching one but she knew better than disturb Cain when he was this focused on a match.
She climbed the staircase slowly with her bag in her hand and entered their room. There she dropped her bag in the bed and put away her clothes before packing her hair and tying it up.
She entered the bathroom naked and took a long shower before putting on her fluffy robe.
She opened her bag and brought out the files. She had brought it home to study it better and also show it to Cain.
"Should I take it to him now?" She asked herself but then she shook her head, "No! I will show him and explain everything to him, later when we come upstairs to sleep." she told herself and kept the files back in her handbag. She then picked her phone and left the room to join Cain.
She looked at Cain downstairs and saw that he was already done with the match and he was watching a war movie.
"Yay! We can play now!" She screamed quietly and happily as she ran down the stairs to meet her lover.
