We moved newly to the street and wasn't really familiar with people although some were my school friends, acquaintance and my sibling's friends.

I do my daily routine without skipping any.

Like saying a prayer when I'm up, reading one chapter of an interesting novel, doing house chores, take my bath, eat before going to the school I'm currently teaching.

After school I do meet one of my neighbors who do well in taking me lessons on areas I did find difficult to comprehend without collecting a dime.

Things were unchanged as I keep pushing on my daily routines.

I easily make friends especially with guys but never exceeded my boundaries. I made sure I set my rules and my standards. Being a friend does not give you the rights to over stepped your boundaries.

I did visit my neighbor for tutoring without skipping except on Saturdays and Sundays up until I met his in-law one faithful day when he came visiting.

He came out from Uber he came with and walked directly towards us.

Our eyes locked for few seconds and I caught him smiled briefly.

He looked away and I looked away too.

He approached the man I was standing with and I had goosebumps. Really? why am I feeling so hot?

They discussed for a few minutes before going inside. His face looks familiar but I'm not sure we've met before.

I was so uncomfortable that I told my tutor we could meet the next day. Thanks goodness he accepted without inquiring why?

I arranged my stuff and went back home. That night I kept on thinking about him and can't stop asking myself why? someone I just met for the first time.

Maybe it's love oo or definitely not.

I thought I was liking my bestie so well without flaws that I had this feeling of falling for him until my neighbor came in to the picture.

He occupied my space of thinking ever since I met him but well why am I thinking about him when he is just here to pay a visit and will soon go back.

Thinking of him going back I brushed off the thought of him and decided to snub him big time and for some time now I stopped going to meet the in-law as I want to concentrate more on work, pay attention to my health, have more time to relax, play and of course eat.

Yeah really wants to eat healthy.

**************************

Few days later I was outside when my bestie came around with one of his friends. I hugged him and he pecked me. After releasing the hug I saw my cute neighbor from afar staring at our direction and I'm sure he's looking at us.

Seriously???

Why is he looking at our direction so daring. He is really making me scared. He has this killing look that I can't resist from staring at.

I offered my bestie and his friend chair, before he sat he went in to greet my parents.

My parents know him to be my friend and nothing else but I really liked him to be just a friend until my attention is been driven to someone I met a week and some days ago.

We discussed, joke, shared how our day went. Read comments from one his post together, most of the comments there were cheesy and it's really caught us laughing wide.

Goddy is really fun to be with,I do enjoy every bit of him being around me.

He's so active in talking, sharing ideas and giving advice.No dully moment with him.

We've been friends for so long and we know a lot about ourselves.

I'm so much aware of the ups and downs in his relationship.

His efforts in making the relationship works.

Hmmmm!

That's not my business though because he fancy his girl so much that the girl is now taking his love for granted.

At 9.30pm I saw them off at a short distance and as usual we exchanged our goodbye pleasantries before making a turn to leave.

After seeing off my friends and sharing good bye hugs I turned to go back home but came face to face with my cute neighbor. We actually bumped into each other because of my delicate focus on my phone and none of us showed any remorse.

Did he for real followed us?, what is wrong with this guy?

After few seconds I came back to my senses and turned away to leave feeling so shy but he grabbed me by my wrist.

I turned back to look at him and ran off. what the heck was that for?

I cried my eyes 👀 to sleep that night because of the way and manner my dad spoke to me. My dad is one person that could hurt you with words without minding if you're hurt or not.

But what do I expect? I'm the first daughter and it's my duty to take proper care of my siblings.

I felt so weak waking up from sleep, I quickly manned up to go fetch some water before preparing to go to work. I went to the nearby bore so as to fetch quickly. I met my neighbor and totally snubbed him without saying good morning or anything.

It was my turn and I was contemplating who would helped carried on my head. I was about calling one of the girls there when he offered to help.
