the secret

chapter 6

Michael and I  have already began chatting for some time now ,and we have really become so addicted to each other. I couldn't stay a day without speaking to him .i would run around to make sure i charged my phone, so we could chat all night. At some point,I felt the spark of emotion,but then I tried to suppress it. Day after day, Michael became the only thing I could think of. I literally saw him everywhere. He took over my thinking. What could be the cause of this? Although we never really had a face to face conversation, I was already tripping for him. I couldn't just stare at him right in the face,because I was too shy to do so

On one occasion, I dreamt about him. We were embraced in a very tight hug,and I didn't wanna let go,but mum spoiled it,by waking me up............Michael soon confessed to me that he loved me,but I was short of words. I couldn't just admit to him that I had the same feelings I mean that would make me look cheap,so I told him I had mixed feelings. I was so happy because I already felt the same for him .I would lay on my bed,and stare at the ceiling smiling,with just Michael in my head. but what if I was hypnotized? No no it can't be. I fell in love without my knowledge. whenever Michael was around,I could feel his presence. I would stare at him from the balcony each time I saw him pass,and just wonder how much of a perfection he was. And yes he really understood me .I would share my problems with him everyday, and he always had solutions to them .he made me laugh whenever I was down, told me stories to lighten my mood,and before long,I couldn't think about anything else,but Michael. He confessed his feelings to me day after day,and he was patiently waiting for my reply. This guy must really love me a lot.he asked me for a hug on several occasions,but i turned him down,because I was too shy,but I knew I really loved him,and could do anything for him.

Things took a turn,when we stopped chatting and vibing as we used to .normally we chat all night,or sleep late laughing over the phone or professing love to each other. At times when i slept off,he would call my phone to wake me up,just so we could chat. But now,we barely  have an enjoyable conversation. something was wrong, and I could feel it. I could  detect his mood from mere chats,but I couldn't place my hands on it. When I tried asking further,the next thing that came up was"would you be my girlfriend? "I was so shocked and happy at the same time,because it was all I wanted. I wanted to belong to him and no one else. I wished we spent this whole life time together, and the next. No one was better than him I thought. Maybe this was what he used to distract me from the actual happening, or maybe he used it to prevent me from further questioning. Soon enough, we grew distant. It was like our  worlds were apart,but he kept telling me he was busy working on something, that's why he didn't have enough time for me.

I would cry all by myself,probably because I felt the love of my life slipping off my finger,or just because I missed the fun moments we had together..............in the midst of the whole confusion,Michael asked me out on a date,to celebrate Valentine. I was so happy and confused. This guy knows how to make things right,at the appropriate time,I thought. Little did I know that I was going to meet my doom!!
