Chapter twenty four

Scott was caught up looking for ways to propose to Sandra. Duncan found it amusing.

He didn't have any problem with as he a great guy. Which was why Duncan was trying to be helpful.

Keyword being trying as he wasn't helping him one bit.

'You're supposed to make sure everything works out perfectly for your sister! Come on man! Help me!',

'She's your girlfriend and will soon be your wife. I guess that makes this a you problem',

'You're not helping man', Scott groaned making Duncan laugh even harder.

'Stop being mean Duncan, hi Scotty!', Symphony's face soon replaced Duncan's face on the Skype call

'Hello beautiful, how are you?',

'I'm great, so what can I do to make your life easier?',

'I knew calling Duncan would actually come in handy',

'The Lord works in mysterious ways', came Duncan's sarcastic response

'Beat it! A prettier face is here. So I want to propose to Sandra and the how is tripping me up',

'Oh, that's wonderful.  Congratulations!',

'Thank you',

'So what do you have?',

'Basically, nothing. Except the ring though, that was pretty straight forward. Now how do I go about this?', he looked so serious that she had to smile.

'Well what are the possible locations you have in mind?',

'The first place that comes to mind is a nice dinner setting but I believe it's an overkill. I just want something unique',

'Okay, what's her absolute favorite place to be at? Like at any time-',

'Church! Yes the church',

'Alright let's work with that. Her favorite programs or services?',

'Music concerts, and there's one we're coming to Hollywood for next month! Symphony you're a genius! Thank you so so much! And you Duncan! You guys rock!!', the screen went blank.

Symphony gave Duncan a bewildered look while Duncan just shrugged it off.

'Well, guess I'll be on my way then', she made to move out of his space but he stopped her by raising his foot.

'You're going for the concert right?', he gave her a suspicious look.

'Yes Duncan, we've talked about this. I'm coming, and I'm also attending the movie premiere', he answered anticipating his next question.

'Yea but will you go as my plus one?',

'What?', she asked genuinely surprised

'Will you go to the movie premiere as my date?', he stood up as he waited for her answer.

'But why?', why now? When she was finally getting her feelings and emotions under wraps?!

'Because I want to go with you, while we're on the subject will you please accompany me to the Walsh concert?',

(Don't know if that's a thing but oh well!😅)

'But... But..',

'A simple yes will solve all this stuttering babe',

'Don't do that, don't call me babe',

'Okay, I won't. But please, be my date for the concerts and the premiere',

She lost it and chuckled.

'What else do you want me to be your date for? The love feast tonight?', Duncan gave her a pointed look

'You've got to be kidding me!',

'I'm perfectly serious darling, what do say? Please!', he pulled her by waist and she let him

'To what end is all this Duncan? I don't want to get hurt again, neither do I want to hurt you .... Again and I don't-',

'Could you just say yes to what I've asked', he cut her off making her take a deep breath.

'I will, when you tell me why. All of a sudden you want me near, like we used to be. Why now when we've gone so far apart?',

He pulled her into a much needed hug.

'Do you honestly think we've grown apart in the past few months?', he asked as he looked into her eyes

'Well yes, we no longer go anywhere just on our own. We barely spend time together which became okay after a while, our intimacy went from kisses to side hugs. Need I say more?',

'No. You've proved your point. But look at it this way, we basically work together. We go to almost everywhere together even if not alone. We've learned how to pray together even if it with people around us. We've learned how to live with each other indirectly if our unplanned sleepovers are anything to go by, finally and most importantly we've forgiven each other',

'And mind reading has become one of the gifts of the spirit since when?', she asked as she put some needed space between them

'Since never, but I'm going to go on a limb here and say you've forgiven me for not being a constant in the way you needed me to be when you needed it. And thank God for that period cause I was having some feelings I shouldn't have been having towards you, or better still I shouldn't have let them fester as they did.

I had to take myself to a place of prayer and took up some counseling from Dad and bishop to be able to forgive you the way it needed to be done. Not paying lip service, but in the process I hurt you. I ignored your feelings which wasn't right on any grounds.

I felt the shift when it happened, but I was too strong headed to fix my faults. And when you warmed up to me again I felt it too, but this time around with was as just a friend. Dare I say a brother even, but that's what we're here to rectify. I'm so sorry I put you through all that.

I'm sorry I hurt you that way, even if you never said anything about it. I should have acted better, but now I'm more than ready to be there for you if you'll give me a chance. I'm sorry I took out my anger on you due to the incident, and I promise to never do anything like that ever again', he held her hands as he gave his apology

'What if it's too late for anything to happen between us? What if I've already found love in someone else?'.
