Love, lies and, secrets 31. Giving us a try
Chapter 31ANNA I couldn't get any sleep for some reason and because of this, I decided to while away time by watching videos on YouTube and doing absolutely anything I could so that my eyes would get tired and so that I could finally fall asleep but it seemed as though nothing was working and instead of trying to keep forcing myself to sleep, I made up my mind to just keep watching videos and I was doing just that until suddenly, I heard my door slowly being pushed opened and as soon as someone walked into my bedroom door, I'm quick to switch on the lamp. I wasn't even surprised by the fact that it was Alejandro that sneaked into my room not because I was expecting him to but because it's just not a surprise to me anymore. I was scared for him because one of these days, he's going to get caught sneaking into my room and when that happens, I have every intention of denying him. I placed my phone on my bed and folded my arms across my chest while staring at him with an unbothered lo
Love, lies and, secrets 32. Theo and Kelvin
ANNAI watched as Alejandro and Alice made out in front of me almost as if they were forgetting that I was standing right there in front of them and that it was disrespectful of them to act so passionately in front of someone else. I simply looked away because I didn't want to get too upset and I didn't want it to be obvious that I was fuming on the inside. I hated the fact that Alejandro wasn't even trying to be subtle with his affection for Alice and I found it disrespectful especially since he and I have come to an agreement that we were going to go with the flow and enjoy each other's company for the time that I'd still be here and that is exactly what we've been doing in the last few days. I had already packed everything that I brought here including the things that I bought here because I was going to be leaving tomorrow and now that I was leaving, I was feeling slightly conflicted and confused. Alice and Alejandro still had their tongues stuck in each other's throats and I w
Love, lies and, secrets 33. Parting words
ANNA "I'm so sorry I'm late, Anna. I had to quickly attend to some important work before coming here," Kelvin explained as soon as he arrived and I watched him hurriedly pull back a chair to sit. "It's not a problem and I also apologise for suddenly calling you out to see me," I replied to him and he chuckled. "To be honest with you, I was very surprised when you suddenly called me and said you wanted to meet up with me because whenever I asked us to meet, you claimed that you were busy and you did this throughout the week but I know that was only an excuse on your part to avoid seeing me," he said. "I don't know what exactly gives you the impression that I was lying but I wasn't because the only reason I came here in the first place was to hang out with my sister and catch up with her and since I haven't exactly been able to do that since I got here, I decided to make time for her and that is exactly what kept me busy," I lied. "Well, if you say so then I have no other choice but
Love, lies and, secrets 34. It was nice while it lasted
ANNA It's already past 12 and I knew that I should be getting some sleep now because I had a flight to catch tomorrow but I couldn't fall asleep because I knew that Alejandro was going to show up here and I've also been lost in my thoughts concerning what happened between Kelvin and me earlier. I honestly couldn't understand why I couldn't get over it but what I was certain about was that the kiss that happened between Kelvin was completely different from the last time we kissed and I just couldn't wrap my head around why I didn't push him off me like I did the last time and why I don't hate that it happened. I felt very weird about it because I was very certain that I didn't have any sort of romantic feelings towards Kelvin but I just couldn't understand why I enjoyed making out with him and why I was still thinking about it. I let out a frustrated sigh, not knowing what else to do and how else to understand my messed-up feelings. I wanted to get some sleep because I felt really t
Love, lies and, secrets 35. Goodbye
ALEJANDRO"Where were you?" As soon as I walked back into the room, I heard Alice's voice ask and immediately got nervous because I wasn't expecting her to be awake and when I turned on the lights, she was seated on the bed with her arms folded across her chest. I cleared my throat nervously as I thought of a reasonable lie to come up with so she doesn't suspect anything. "I hope I didn't worry you, babe. I was feeling kind of suffocated and stressed out so I went out to get some fresh air and get myself together before coming back to bed," I lied.She furrowed her brows. "Are you sure everything is okay with you babe? I've noticed that you've been going out a lot more nowadays and you're always going out to get some fresh air and think about something and I'm starting to get worried. Are you certain that everything is okay or is there something that you're keeping from me?" she asked, getting up from the bed and walking towards me."I'm not keeping anything from you, babe. I've ju
Love, lies and, secrets 36. In a relationship
ANNAI felt someone wrap their hand around my waist and the next thing I know, I'm being lifted off the ground and spun around."Oh my goodness Theo, what is wrong with you?" I questioned with a giggle when I realized that it was Theo. "Stop it Theodore and put me down," I said, still giggling at how childish he was but he wouldn't stop and I'm not even surprised anymore.After thinking long and hard about it, I finally accepted to be Theo's trial girlfriend for a month and it's been almost a week now since we came to this agreement. Unsurprisingly, he hasn't stopped hanging around me and doing the craziest things since I accepted to be his trial girlfriend. I could still vividly remember how he reacted after I accepted his request because of how embarrassed I felt that day, not just for myself, but also for Theo because he didn't stop grinning like a child and acting like a lovestruck puppy. He also made sure to announce to everyone that we came across that I accepted to be his gir
Love, lies and, secrets 37. Boyfriend
ANNAI cleared my throat nervously as I prepared myself to introduce Kelvin to Theodore. "You're mistaken, Kelvin. He isn't my friend is my boyfriend and as you can see, we were having lunch together," I corrected him immediately. I had purposely said what I said because I wanted Kelvin to realise that a relationship between myself and him was never going to happen and I needed him to back off and stop trying to walk into my life like he deserved a spot in my life. He and I would never be anything no matter what he did to change my mind and I just wanted him to forget about me and leave me alone. I noticed how his eyes trailed back and forth between Theo and me and he had his brows furrowed almost as though he was trying to comprehend what I had just said. I could tell that he was genuinely surprised and I felt a little bad for him but I didn't regret introducing Theo as my boyfriend. "Did you just say boyfriend or did I hear wrongly?" he asked and I so badly wanted to roll my eye
Love, lies and, secrets 38. In his care
Chapter 38ANNA"Tell me the truth Anna, are you sure you're okay?" Theodore asked and I shook my head affirmatively to let him know that I was fine. I usually always have terrible cramps whenever I was on my period so the pain I was going through now wasn't anything new to me. I already told him several times that I would be fine and that the pain wasn't going to kill me but trust Theo to overreact. "As I said earlier Theodore, it's just period cramps and I'm going to be fine. All I need to do is go home and get some rest and I cannot show you that I'll be perfectly fine once I do that," I assured him again for the umpteenth time."Okay babe, if you say so but if you need anything, anything at all, don't hesitate to call me immediately," he replied and I simply rolled my eyes at how dramatic he was being. He pulled me closer to him and we made our way back to my dorm so I could get some rest and get myself together. You didn't take too long before we arrived back at my dorm and Th
