LOVE WITH ERROR

Chapter 7

LOVE WITH ERROR!
Love is a beautiful feeling and also toxic if not handled well. In the game of love, every single player strives very hard to be successful, everyone wants to have a perfect relationship with a happily ever after. Everyone tries their best to provide a favorable condition for their love life to grow and flourish.
Little did we know that as we build up our relationships from scratches; there might be destructive agents that shatter our hard effort from beneath those scratches we built it on. So basically, everyone is a fool in the realm of love, only a few one could be able to realize how foolish they are on time.
It’s a beautiful Friday afternoon, every student is definitely happy because the weekend would surely be a break from all the hectic school activities. Cleo was in a rush to leave the school as she begins packing her stuffs. She is obviously eager to leave because she was being clumsy with everything.
James exhaled as he picked up his textbook from the ground which was pushed by Cleo. “For Christ sake Cleo, can you be careful. Why are you even on a rush?” He said hissing as he also started arranging his stuffs. She smiled without saying a word as she picked up her phone and texted someone.
They all stared at her as she took a seat and crossed her legs. She opened her bag and brought out a small makeup kit and begins retouching her face. She was so engrossed in the makeup when Andrew hissed and stood up. “What is all this Cleo? What is with the makeup stuff?” He asked curiously.
She was about speaking when Omar interrupted her. “I know the reason.” He said pointing at the hall way and they all turned and looked at the direction. It was Nelson; he was coming towards them with a smile on his face. James laughed a little and turned to Cleo who was also smiling. “Looks like someone is having a dick appointment right?” He asked and they all laughed.
Cleo cleared her throat and put back her makeup kit in the bag. “Well, my parents are travelling abroad for a week and I will be staying at Nelson’s place. You guys knows what that means right?” She said as she stood up and walked to him.
Omar laughed as he watched Cleo tripping for Nelson. Her love for him is strong that she can’t hide it anymore. No matter how she tried to adjust herself, she could never hide it because it is obviously written all over her.
Omar giggled as they stared at them walk away. “I used to envy Cleo sometimes because Nelson is fucking caring.” He said still staring and admiring them. James eyed Omar for a while. “Look who is speaking, as if we don’t know how Stephan never goes a day without eating you.” He said bluntly and they laughed.
“How can you say something like that James? We only do it thrice in a week.” Omar said still laughing. James giggled and exhaled slowly. “Even though; you guys should slow it down a bit. That explains why Stephan is always heels over head for you. You have been feeding him the forbidden fruit.” James said looking at Omar.
Omar was about speaking when he noticed how absent minded Andrew was. He was still spaced out while staring at the hall way. “Are you alright Andrew?” Omar asked tapping his legs. He quickly turned to them. “I am fine.” He replied shortly and picked up his phone from his pocket.
He quickly searched for Charles’s contact and messaged him. “Meet me at the old building in five minutes.” He sent the message and quickly stood up. He picked his bag and waved them goodbye as he walked out of the class.
James stared at him suspiciously for a while. “What is wrong with Andrew?” Omar asked looking worried. James sighed deeply and adjusted himself. “There is something weird about him which I can’t seem to figure out. He has been weird these days.” He said looking curious,
Omar giggled a little. “May be he is stressed or having issues with his new relationship. I am sure he will let us know when he is ready. Let allow him handle his case for now.” Omar suggested. James was still looking anxious and curios but he couldn’t figure anything. He sighed and faced Omar.
Omar folded his arms and smiled. “Speaking of relationships; how are you and Justin coping?” He asked staring at James. James adjusted himself as he crossed his legs. “Well, I don’t know what to do with him for now. He has fallen already for me. He is inviting me to his place tomorrow; I think I will end everything over there.” I don’t want to continue that rubbish. He said laughing.
Omar also laughed a little. “I know that will be harsh, but it is better you end it now than allowing him to fall deeper.” Omar said as he also picked his bag and stood up at the sight of Stephan walking towards them.
James sat with his mouth wide opened. “Are you also ditching me for a man?” He asked looking sad. Omar laughed a little. “Poor you dear, don’t you heard the saying that goes – dicks before friends-? I think you’d better go home and start preparing your breakup speech.” He said laughing as he walked towards Stephan leaving James behind…
Charles was walking very fast as he was curious why Andrew will ask to meet him at the old building. It is always very deserted. Only a few students went there, either to smoke or have sex. He barged in the building shouting Andrews’s name. He walked in further more and saw Andrew standing shirtless.
“What are you doing Andrew? Why did you ask me here?” He was still asking when Andrew pushed him to the wall and started kissing him aggressively. “Cut the crap and do this shit Charles.” He said as he continued kissing him.
Charles was shocked and confused at the same time but he couldn’t resist the sight of Andrew’s curved shape and the scent of his perfume. He also returned the kiss and they continued kissing for a while. Within a short period, they were both shirtless and Andrew was already facing the wall while Charles was riding him from behind.
They were both moaning loudly as the ecstasy of the sex was taking them to climax. Charles held Andrew tightly as he increased the tempo of the thrust while moaning louder. They released together and Charles fell on the ground panting so hard.
Andrew quickly stood up and started getting dressed. Charles who was still breathing heavily stared at him while still on the ground. “Take a rest before leaving Andrew. You will look suspicious if you leave like this.” He said looking worried.
Andrew sighed as he picked his bag. “My brother is already here. I don’t want him to wait longer, he might get suspicious.” Andrew said as he heads out. Charles staggered and stood up as he hugged Andrew from behind. “Will you have spare time during the weekend; I will treat you to a date?” Charles asked desperately.
Andrew slowly released himself from the hug. “My weekend will be chocked up, but I will try to make time for you.” He said as he walked out of the building. Charles smiled as he walked back and picked up his clothes.
He was so happy because he never expected their first sex to happen this fast, even though it is not as fancy as how he always imagined it, he is so excited that it happened and he promised to make the next one a memorable one.
Andrew walked faster out of the school with his mind still burning from Nelson’s and Cleo’s hangout for the weekend. He was totally stressed out and that was why he asked Charles for a sex. He is not into the guy, he just wanted a diversion from his horrible thoughts and the sex actually worked. He decided to keep Charles as his sex tool; at least he will have someone to fuck with whenever he is worried…
Cleo arrived at Nelson’s house and she was welcomed well. His parents adore her already because they are family friends. Nelson’s dad always talks about sending them abroad together after high school for their higher education. They all love Cleo dearly and always hope the kids’ ends up together.
Nelson’s mother dropped her spoon as they were sitting on the dining table. “I have had the guestroom prepared for you Cleo. Just let me know if there is anything you need.” She said looking at Cleo. She smiled and giggled a little without saying a word. “Thank you mom, but I will spend little time in Nelson’s room. We will be studying together.” She said looking at Nelson.
Nelson who has no idea of the studying issue stared dumbly at Cleo, she kicked his legs a little from under the table and he quickly faked a smile. “Yes mom, we will be studying before going to bed.” He said stammering. His mother smiled and continued eating. “Just make sure you don’t stay up late. Cleo needs to get to sleep early to maintain her beauty. So send her back to her room on time.” She ordered.
Nelson’s father who was a little reserved adjusted himself and faced Nelson. “So a friend of mine has a new spa opened around lekki. It is a very nice place. I think you should take Cleo out tomorrow and spend good time. It has been a while you do that and it’s not good for a relationship.” He said as he puts his hands in his pocket.
He brought out a credit card and gave it to Nelson. “Here, make sure you guys enjoy yourselves.” He added staring at Nelson. He slowly picked the card and put it in his small wallet. “Thank you dad.” He said shortly. Cleo was also smiling as she keeps on Thanking Nelson’s dad. She is totally excited because she missed having a quality time with Nelson and it is draining her sanity.
Nelson on the other hand was sweating slowly even with the air conditions all over the sitting room. This is the point where he realized the huge task in front of him. How would he be able disclose to his parents of his sexuality? They are already into Cleo and accepted her for him.
That isn’t the huge problem alone. Even if his parents agrees and understand him, how would he announce to Cleo that he has been cheating on her with her best friend? Nelson sighed slowly as he opened the door to his room while Cleo was walking right after him. He knows what Cleo meant by studying together but he is stressed at the moment.
As he turned back to give an excuse for tonight, he saw Cleo standing naked in front of him. He was totally shocked as his eyes landed on her perfectly curved waist. Her chest was covered with her handful breasts and her face was revealing a glowing smile. Nelson gulped a little as he started stammering. He couldn’t resist the sight of her beauty as he got aroused immediately.
“Are you ready to study Nelson?” Cleo asked winking at him as she moved closer a little. She has a smirk on her lips with a seductive smile on her face. The scent of her perfume hits Nelson again ah he grabbed her neck. “Let’s see what this book entails.” He said as her started kissing her aggressively.
Cleo already missed this wonderful moment as she also started kissing him back. They had a wonderful sex and lay back on the bed both panting really hard. Nelson holds Cleo’s hair and was playing with it. He sighed deeply as he looked into her beautiful face. He feels bad whenever he remembered how dearly Cleo loves him. He is sure this won’t end well.
But what can he do? He can never lie to his feelings. The more be tried avoiding Andrew, the more his love burns up in his heart. He sighed again as he continued playing with Cleo’s hair. “What if I ever cheat on you Cleo? What will be your reaction?” He asked looking scared.
Cleo smiled a little and adjusted herself on his laps. “All I know about cheating is that it occurs between couples with less trust and feelings for each other. I trust you Nelson and I am sure you do also. And about our love, I don’t need to explain it. I have never imagined you cheating on me Nelson.” She said looking at him.
She smiled again and continued speaking. “I don’t want to imagine that between us Nelson. I don’t know what my reaction will be if that eventually happens. But one thing I am sure of is that I will leave peacefully and never turn back. Cheating and betrayal is the last thing I expect from my trusted people.” She added.
Nelson’s heart was beating very fast because he felt she was referring to him directly. She talked as if she knew what’s going on between him and Andrew. Her words begin haunting his heart as he was faking a smile. She slowly stood up and walked to the door. “Get enough sleep babes. Tomorrow will be a long day.” She said as she walked out.
He watched her leave the room so elegantly. His life is totally messed up at this time. Why does he have to make it between two friends? He shouldn’t have fallen for Andrew. He should have restricted himself. He is currently feeling like a monster because he is sure that this bound of friendship will be broken because of him. What a LOVE WITH ERROR has he gotten himself into? He asked himself as tears started rolling down his face…
Saturday has been a very long and interesting day for Nelson and Cleo. They hang out together and had enough fun. They enjoyed their selves and you can tell how both happy they are. Nelson was very romantic as well as Cleo. She would snap a couple of photos and upload them her social media pages.
It’s evening already and they were back home together watching a series. Cleo was lying on Nelson’s Laps as he was going through his phone. Nelson sighed deeply and faced Cleo. “Don’t you think you should slow down with the posts? You know how I hated going viral right?” He asked looking worried.
She giggled and nodded her head. “It is fine babe. Everyone already knows us together so those posts shouldn’t be an issue.” She said as she continued using her phone. He exhaled slowly without saying a word. He is actually not afraid of going viral, he is just afraid that Andrew might get jealous from seeing the posts.
He was still sitting on the couch when his phone beeped. It’s a message from Andrew. He quickly read it and stood up immediately. Cleo got a bit startled from his reaction. “What is wrong Nelson? Where are you going by this time?” Cleo asked with a worried voice. He started stammering trying to put up some words.
“I have to give Stephan a file for our presentation. You can just go in and rest, I will be back soon.” He said as he picked his car keys and drove out. He drove as fast as he could to Andrew’s house. He is sure Andrew has already seen Cleo’s post and he is burning in jealousy already so he has to do whatever to calm him down.
Andrew was sitting on the bed staring at the pictures posted by Cleo, he reads the caption again and his heart continues burning up. “10 years down and still counting.” Tears started flowing in his eyes as he slightly feels like he is losing Nelson to Cleo. “This can’t happen to me, I can’t stand this.” Andrew shouted as he threw away the phone to the wall.
He was rolling and grumbling on the bed when Nelson entered the room. He quickly rushed and held him as he was about hitting himself on the wall. “What are you doing Andrew? Do you want to harm yourself?” Nelson said looking worried.
Andrew turned and holds him tightly. “Promise me not to leave me for her Nelson. I can’t take it please. Tell me you will always choose me Nelson. Promise me babe. I can’t handle this torture anymore.” Andrew said as he was crying. He moved closer and began kissing Nelson passionately.
Nelson was shocked and dumb. He never imagined that Andrew’s situation will be this worst, at this point, he regretted doing this right from the start but it is clearly too late for him to regret. He has no choice but to continue this with the hope that Cleo never finds out. He sighed deeply as he also started kissing him back…
Andrew was lying on Nelson’s laps while Nelson was leaning on the wall after the sweet marathon sex. Andrew sighed and raised his head facing Nelson. “I want to ask you something Nelson.” He said looking at him. Nelson nodded his head with a straight face.
Andrew sighed deeply and adjusted himself. “Is the punishment for cheaters and betrayers in hell very severe?” He asked with a worried voice. Nelson was dumb for a while before he struggled and holds Andrew’s face. “Why would you ask that Andrew?” He asked back curiously.
Andrew giggled and sits up. “I am just wondering Nelson, it seems like we are already in a punishment here on earth. I am curious what the punishment will be in hell. Apart from the torture of having to hide out our relationship from everyone, it is also another punishment to feel suffocated whenever we are around Cleo.” Andrew said.
Nelson sighed deeply and closed his eyes for a while before opening them slowly. “I wish this will all fade away Andrew. I wish I have a means to put an end to this without hurting anyone or myself. I am tired seriously, tired of pretending. I am tired of lying to myself and everyone around me Andrew. This pretence is exhausting. I feel suffocated from all these punishments and it is draining my sanity.” Nelson said with a worried voice.
Andrew slowly grabbed Nelson’s hands and holds them tightly. “I just want to know how much I need to prepare myself for hell Nelson. It is obvious we are cheaters and betrayers. I don’t think there will be a day I can stop this. Not anytime soon Nelson.” He said looking very confident.
Nelson was about speaking when Andrew interrupted him. “The least you can do is to stay beside me as I fight for us Nelson. I will fight till my last breath. I will make sure I make our relationship worth you choosing me over and over again.” Andrew added looking into Nelson’s eyes…
