Light eyes slowly opened she was stunned to meet Anthony wide awake gazing into her eyes.
🎵 I could have told you all I need
🎵 pretty Little Face , music to my ears
🎵Say it loud if you wanna
He sang out smiling sweetly at her pushing the string of her hair away from her face.
" Can I ask for a favour my room his big enough for two people so why don't you move out of Abigail and come leave with me sleep by my side every night " Anthony spoke a worm gentle smile on his handsome face.
She got true the shock smiling brightly as well pushing her fingers true his hair.
" I would have loved to but I can't come live with you first because am a lady and secondly because i snore to loudly I don't want you complaining every night " Light spoke admiring his handsome face.
" Well are you hungry we got class to attend" Anthony getting up from the bed going into the kitchen.
Light finally realized she wasn't wearing her swim suit she was putting on a male t-shirt her face went red instantly recalling how Anthony had hugged her tightly under the rain her finger touched her lips replaying the kiss the shared.
She spoke inwardly covering her face with a pillow.
" He won't probably remember the kiss or the awkward moment we both shared because he was having a trama attack " A loud groan left her lips feeling shy and stupid.
Getting off the bed going into his bathroom she found a new tooth brush opening the rapping she used the tooth brush and stepped out of the bathroom going over to the kitchen resting against the door as she admired Anthony while he cooked.
He already smelled her perform a smile appeared on his face.
" You don't have to stand by the door to watch me cook come closer light " He spoke not turning to look back still chopping the onion on the chop board.
Light walked over to his side he stopped what he was doing and in one go he lifted her up on the table handing her a apple.
" Bite on this till the food is cooked " He spoke going to look for a bowl.
Light smiled biting the apple the water staining her lips Anthony eye sported the small water stain on her lips and his eyes were glued to her red lips he blinked twice taking a napkin over to her lips gentle wiping off the stain.
" You got something on your lips eat like a lady " He smiled watching a frown appear on her face glaring at him sharply.
" Hey.. what do you mean by that I eat like a lady mister don't you ever say that to me again" Light spoke hissing at him rolling her eye balls.
" Fine you don't snore like a piggy or eat unladylike " He laughed still chopping the onion.
" You..." A slap landed on his head she jumped down from the table glaring at him her hands folded against her chest.
He stopped what he was doing going over to her.
" Your eyes I don't seem to get why am so attracted to your eyes " He lifted her chin upwards to stare into his.
Light felt flustered her face turning bright red in colour she coughed taking her face away taking a step backwards putting some distance between them .
" You are talking about my eyes you are blessed with beautiful blue eyes I should be the one complementing you instead thier is nothing special about mine " Light spoke pretending to still be pissed.
" I'm sorry for making you made " He sighed taking her hand bringing her back over to the sink.
He lifted her back up onto the table as he picked up the knife not making any movement.
" This eyes are not special or rear as everyone thinks they are look at my eyes and everyone his screaming in amazement because am a black guy ladies going crazy over it but if they only knew how I got this cursed things " Anthony spoke having a mixed feeling passing true his eyes is tone laced with bitterness.
" Anthony...don't call your eyes cursed their the most beautiful thing I have ever seen I love that you are unique and different it what makes you perfect" Light spoke out her true feelings she wouldn't want Anthony any other way.
" Thanks but my eyes are a sickness I wasn't just born with them I suffer from a disease" He spoke cutting the onion his smile returning back on his handsome face.
Light wondered what disease he was suffering from she hoped it wasn't something deadly her heart panicking at the thought.
" But your cured now " Light spoke praying inwardly for a good answer.
" Yes am cured do I look sick in anyway" Anthony spoke lying to light face he didn't want to tell her the illness he was suffering from.
" Thank G..." She pursed in her speech staring at his face screaming at herself for almost mentioning the one name that could piss Anthony off and she didn't want to have a fight with him the moment was to special to be spoilt.
" You don't have to hold back light not for me or anyone else's you can call God as much as you please your one of the people I can't seem to get mad at right from the moment we meet " Anthony smiled a little pouring the chopped vegetables into the pot.
Light didn't now we're asking the question bothering her at this moment was a right idea but her curiosity wouldn't let her let it go.
" Anthony please promise me you wouldn't be mad if I ask you this question" She spoke breathing out deeply playing with her fingers.
" Nope I wouldn't ask me anything you like if I can give a answer to it I will but if I can't I just ignore it " He responded closing the pot done with mixing the ingredients into the food .
" Why don't you like to hear God name " She spoke waiting for his response he stayed silent for a while before opening his mouth to respond to her question.
" Because he failed me when I needed his help the most he took my father away from me after praying so hard for a miracle he made my mother a widow and the laughing stuck of our community I just don't hate his name I hate everything to do with him and I hate does that believe in him but not just you" He turned facing light staring into her eyes he couldn't understand why he didn't have any resent against light she was meant to be one of the people he would hate so much her parents were pastors she was a believer but no matter how hard he tried he just couldn't hate her.
" I'm sorry about your dad " Light spoke gently placing her palm on his hand resting on the table.
" it not your fault and it been a long time my dad died since I was 14 you don't have to be sorry for me " He responded wearing a fake smile.
Light got down from the table hugging him silently.
" I will always be here for you" She spoke sincerely stepping away from him.
Anthony felt worm inside he picked her cheeks turning his head to the side while staring at her face .
" You look cute why don't you shock the whole class today and dress like a gang star you like the idea " He smiled graining widely.
Light chuckled nodding to his silly idea.
in some few minutes the both dug into their meal Anthony stretched his hand forward blowing the hot spoon of spaghetti before taking it to light mouth.
" Common open up let me feed you at the rate your eating am setting I will be the one to finish up the whole spaghetti" He spoke waiting for her to open her lips so he could place the food into her mouth.
Light stared at his hand smiling a bit before parting her lips letting him feed her.
" Thanks the meal is delicious your mum most have thought you a lot of meals the only thing I know how to cook his my grand mother potato salad" Light spoke shyly admiring Anthony cooking skills.
" Wow you make that for me sometime my mum was a wonderful cook she would spend all day making her best for my dad's arrival her stews were the best but after my dad passed away she lost that spark in her eyes and i had to learn how to cook for the both of us I had to become a man at a young age " Anthony narrated his childhood gazing distantly.
He felt a bit heavy lifted like some bourdon he carried alone were taking off his shoulders as he shared his story with light.
" Yeah I make my potato salad for you any day you want me too your father most be proud of you were ever he is and you most really love your mum ' Light spoke hiding her tears from Anthony wearing a gentle smile.
" Yeah my mum is my everything she has suffered a lot to a point I hate myself for having to leave her also " Anthony was spilling out things he didn't want to say unknowingly.
Light wore a confused look remember their moment on the building during the last semester Anthony had mentioned missing Lagos state speaking of leaving.
" We're are you going too Anthony why wouldn't you be able to stay by your mother side " Light felt her heart crushing waiting for his response she didn't know why for some reason she felt scared.
" Light what are you thinking I only mean one day I plan on traveling out of the country I can't send my whole life living in Lagos one day I would have to leave this country looking for adventures that means I would have to leave my mother side as well " Anthony explained lying to light again for the second time.
" Oh.. that what you mean sorry my brain just messed up lately don't mind me " she smiled looking for a topic to lightning up the mood .
" Why don't we go bath then let both dress up like gang stars but I don't really have my bags with me I wonder how I will get my clothes" Light spoke frowning she be able to dance up with Anthony because she was at his place.
" No need to worry I got you covered just go into the bathroom and take your bath let me handle the rest " Anthony spoke cheering her mood up.
Light giggled watching his expression she wondered if he had already planned down for such a moment.
She took a towel going into the bathroom Anthony smile disappeared gazing at the door of the bathroom he took the plates going into the kitchen.
Light stepped out of the bathroom with a towel tied around her body she found some clothes placed on the bed and a note.
She picked up the note smiling brightly reading the contents on the paper.
A Latter To My Angel.

She smiled reading the last line of the letter seeing a bear sticker placed on it at the finishing.
" Thank you too Anthony for coming into my life you given me a story to write " Light smiled picking up the black crop top and a large black sport jacket placing it one. She wore the baggy black jeans and head wormer.
She walked over to the mirror and found a lady make up kit and a black box a small note was pressed onto the box.
" Open the box it my valentines gift to you"She read out the words picturing Anthony in her mind.
Taking a sit to apply the makeup she had to use her phone following a life stream because she didn't want to get the makeup wrong after doing a black make over she opened the box and a gentle smile appeared in her face.
A silver necklace have the words spelled out my shorting star light placed the chain around her neck admiring her own reflection.
Anthony walked into the apartment his feet froze in place gazing at light beauty from the reflection of the mirror he had seen many ladies dress in all black but every time light wore a black coloured dress she looked super sexy and vibe He grained widely clapping his hands.
" You look stunning to complete the gang star look letting everyone now your under Anthony clan am gifting you this" He spoke turning light over to face him he took her hand taking of a ring from his finger.
He slowly placed it into one of her fingers light felt the drumming of her heart in her ears it looked so intimate like he was placing a wedding ring on her finger.
She stared at her finger admiring the black ring designed with white silver stones.
" It beautiful Anthony thank you so much I love it " She smiled hugging him tightly unable to wait to see the look on Abigail face.
" Give me a minute let me go bath then we can both head to class " Anthony smiled leaving her side going into the bathroom he had given light ring to keep her out of danger many gangs would be after her thinking they can get to him true light
every gang leader had their own special symbol that displayed there position and respect of which clan the belonged too.
Lower clans wouldn't want to go near light if the saw the ring that signified him in her finger and for the bigger fishes he wasn't scared he had a lot of allies seeing the ring on light hand would make them think twice before touching a string on her forehead.
