Guess what guys?..we weren't able to meet til I travelled (sighs sadly).
I felt very wronged that Saturday but I knew I it wasn't his fault that something came up.
I really liked him and I knew he liked me too.
He kept texting me all day and a point..I couldn't hold it anymore, I had to lift this load off my chest.
"Are you free now", I asked. That was Saturday night.
" Just got to my lodge now", he texted back.. " why do you ask?", He added.
" Nothing much, I think I have something to tell you", I replied.
" Okay..give me a moment..I wanna shower", he texted.
"Alright, I'm waiting", I replied.
After ten minutes, he was back online,
"So, what do you wanna say?", he asked.
At that moment I started to hesitate, I shouldn't be the one confessing, am I being faster than my shadow?...I was having a lot of thoughts.
" Not talking?", His message popped up again bringing me back to my sense. I suddenly didn't have the courage anymore..what if I was the only one in love with him?,
"It's nothing..I was thinking rubbish, don't mind me", I texted.
"It can't be nothing, I had to rush myself in the bathing room because you said you have something to tell me..I know you want to say something..or should I call you?", He asked and I saw an incoming voice call from him which I immediately ended.
" Noo..no.. I'll say it here", I typed immediately, suddenly panicking. I couldn't even type what I had in mind and he called?..I mean how am I gonna say it .
" Alright, I'm listening", his message popped up. I took a deep breath and unleashed the writer in me.

"We've been friends for a while now, I feel really happy to have you around, you've been very helpful and caring to me and I don't know if it got to my head cos I don't understand what I'm feeling lately but it all balls down to one thing... I'm very certain...I like you..I don't know about you and I'm not in need of an answer, I just wanted to let you know about how I feel about you", I dropped the bomb and went offline immediately before he could open the message.
I didn't have the courage to see his reply, I really struggled with curiousity and insomnia that night.. I was thinking about every possible scenerio, what if...what if he wasn't really into me..I was wondering what I'll do to calm myself down if I didn't get a nice reply..
Around 5am..I finally gathered courage to open the messages.
I saw three messages from him...I opened his chat
"Really😩?",
" I'm so dumbfounded, how can you steal my lines, what I supposed to do?"
" You are an amazing person that I always wanna be close to, I really thought I was the only one feeling you..thats why I wanted to make you fall before I can confess my feelings to you, I like you too", he replied
(Can someone pinch me?)
I was so happy that I started shedding tears of joy, I wish he was around me.. I would've given him a big hug. I was so happy I made the big move and found out he liked me too.
I read the message a thousand times and couldn't get over it.
"Babe😩❤️", his message popped up and I viewed it immediately.
Babe?.. he called me babe, I almost wanted to burst in excitement. His call came in immediately. I guess he noticed I was online. I picked the call.
"You woke up early..why?", He asked.
"I...is this real?..am I dreaming?", I asked him in a nasal voice.
" No..it's real...are you crying?", He replied.
" I..no.. I'm not.. something entered my eyes" I replied trying to sound normal.
" I guess I surprised you, sorry I didn't make the first move..you are more courageous than me" ,he said.
" I just felt I should tell you how I felt..it was killing me", I replied.
" Thanks", he said, " you sound tired..I guess you didn't get a good sleep" he added.
" It's not like that..I was..I was...", I tried to defend myself but he interrupted.
" Just go to bed... I'll text you tomorrow", he said calmly.
"Alright ba..baby", I said and quickly ended the call...I called him baby too🤭.
I kept smiling as I went to re-save his contact as " Babe💋❤️" before sleeping off peacefully.
He had some business to handle over the weekend, unknown to him, I had plans to go home that last Friday but I had to cancel it because I wanted to spend time with him but it didn't work out so I went home on Tuesday, we kept in touch and he was always texting me. I missed him so much and he always told me he did.
He called me sometimes and we texted almost all day...you could notice I was really in love.We shared our day with eachother.. talking about our experiences and things going on at home. He sent me pictures of food he ate, where he visited and things he wanted to buy..I really felt very peaceful and loved. I've never had those feelings before..it was the best Christmas of my life.. having someone who always sent me sweet good morning and goodnight messages, that was how we started dating gradually.
