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
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
ALEJANDROIt's been over two weeks since Anna left and in the two weeks that she has gone, I haven't heard from her or been able to reach her since then and I'd be lying if I said that I didn't miss her a lot and I wasn't craving to see her. I tried calling your number several times but each time I called, a number was always unavailable and after trying a few more times, I realised then that she must have blocked me and I was very disappointed by that. I knew that it was wrong of me to keep thinking about her because I could understand that Anna was only ignoring me because she wanted things between us to come to an end completely and for me to focus on Alice but I just couldn't get her out of my head and no matter how hard I tried to, she just kept clouding my thoughts and I couldn't help my feelings. My relationship with Alice has been affected by this because I haven't been able to concentrate on her ever since Anna left and every time we tried making love, it never goes smooth
ANNATheodore and I were currently standing in front of one of the most expensive brand stores and I stood still, mentally contemplating whether or not to go in. I had told him a few days ago that I wanted to go shopping for new clothes but that I didn't think I could budget to get new clothes until I had gotten an allowance from my parents. I also didn't want to collect any money from Alice even though she offered to give me an allowance but I refused because it didn't seem right to me. I had just told him about the situation because he and I were talking about random things and I didn't expect him to take it to heart or anything like that but suddenly he showed up at my place earlier today and told me to get in the car with him. I had asked him several times to tell me where we were headed but he didn't say anything and now all of a sudden, we arrived here. "I don't understand what's going through that head of yours, Theodore. I already said that I didn't have money to do any sho
ANNAI nervously walked into the restaurant where Theo had asked us to meet. He had called last night and we agreed that we were going to meet here and talk about everything that needed to be said once and for all. At first, I didn't want us to meet outdoors cause I preferred that we stayed in and discussed between ourselves but Theodore had insisted that he wanted us to talk outside and I decided to agree with his request. Today was the last day of our trial relationship and it was also the day that I would be giving him a response. I was feeling very nervous and anxious at the same time because I really wanted to avoid going this far with him but now that the day had come, I knew that there was nothing I could do besides prepare myself to speak to him even though I knew that his feelings would eventually be hurt and that things between us get awkward after today, I had no other choice but to do what I needed to do because it would be best for both Theodore and me if we could settl
TWO YEARS LATER ANNA"Congratulations baby sis!" Alice squealed behind me in excitement and I turned around to look at her with a smile on my face."You have no idea how proud I am of you right sweetie. My little sister is officially a graduate," Alice said, pulling me in for a hug and I hugged her back tightly. Today was my graduation and I was graduating with a 4.1 CGPA in business administration and I couldn't be more proud of myself. Even though I wanted a higher CGPA, I was still proud that I did this good and I was very satisfied. I knew how hard I struggled to keep my mind together and make sure that I did well because studying wasn't easy for me at first but I had to learn how to keep things in my head and enjoy studying and the fact that I was graduating today made me feel very happy and proud that I had come this far without giving up. Alice and I were talking and she kept going on and on about how smart I was and how proud she was but we were both distracted when I hear
ANNAMy entire evening has been painfully tiring and the only thing I wanted right now was for the party to be over so that I can go home and get some rest. No matter what the occasion was, I just couldn't bring myself to get used to parties and I'm always quick to get tired and bored of it. I already informed Alice that I wanted to go home already because I was feeling tired but she wouldn't let me go because according to her, she was yet to give me her gift and it made me wonder whose idea the after-party was. I have been trying very hard to avoid Alejandro's eyes but sometimes, I end up letting my guard down and our eyes would suddenly meet and I'd get so caught up in staring that I wouldn't even realise for the first few seconds. It was almost as though he had been staring at me all through the evening because every time I happened to look in his direction, our eyes would immediately meet and like a magnetic attraction, I'm instantly pulled toward him. "Aren't you having fun?
"Why do I feel you are avoiding me?" a voice said from behind me as I made my way to where I could get water. As soon as I heard the voice, I immediately recognised who it belonged to and I felt a cold shiver run down my spine. Alejandro moved from behind me and appeared in front of me but he had made sure to leave a reasonable distance between us. I was very happy that he knew that I was avoiding him but when I couldn't understand was why he wasn't doing the same thing since he knew."No offence Alejandro but since you already know that I'm avoiding you, why don't you just take a hint and do the same thing," I said to him, trying not to sound too impatient even though I was. "Sorry about that Anna but the thing is, I'm not very good at taking hints especially not from someone who has been stealing glances at me all through the evening," he said and I almost choked on my tongue. "Stealing glances at you? Are you kidding me?" I scoffed."You're unbelievable Alejandro. What makes yo
