Dreame by Chidinma Jerry

I started feeling very cold.

" deya I have no where else to  go. if you won't open up then I will just sleep here and probably freeze to death " I said

She didn't talk.

I lay back on the floor then I faced heaven.

She opened her door and I stood up. She left the door open then walked into her room.

I walked in then locked the door.

She tried moving into her bed but I hugged her from behind - she cried.  God she was so shaken up. I gently turned to her to face me. Her face was so tear stained

" am sorry .  It would never happen again. I swear on my life " i said

" why do you always deny me Bryan " she cried

I moved her into my arms then hugged her tight.

"Please forgive me " I pleaded

Finally she wrapped her arms around me , hugging me tight.

Thank God

ODEYA's POV

"what is your relationship with her " I asked Ryan.

I was on my bed and he sat facing me, on a chair.
He brushed his hair behind then took a deep breath.
His eyes fearful.

" well" he ran his tongue on his lower lips.

" are you both dating " I asked him

" no! No, we aren't " he hastily said and I took a deep breath then nodded.

" we are friends deya, it's —" he trapped his lower lip.

" but you have sex" I completed the difficult part for him.

He looked in my eyes then nodded. He took a breath then brushed his hair behind.

I felt pain but I nodded in a small smile.

". Deya she is my childhood friend. She Is the only daughter to my dad's best friend. I have known her all my life. " he said I nodded

" so. We are supposed to get married it was planned even before we where born. And her dad is managing my dads business so I always knew I would marry Alison . Tho I  don't love her deya, I always saw her as a sister " he said I nodded

" when I dated nana I had second thoughts, I almost told Alisons dad to call off the marriage. but nana destroyed everything. She made me detest the idea of ever marrying for love. I was certain that I would never trust or love again. So I decided to just follow the plan of marrying Alison. " he said I nodded

" after I met you Deya I changed my mind. I wanted to tell her. But then baby , I can't  do that over the phone. We have been through a lot together.
I wasn't deceiving you , We just started dating two days ago , I was planning to travel and tell her. I didn't know she was coming. " he said

"I understand you couldn't tell her outside but all these while why haven't you told her" i said

"Deya Allison is a very emotional person and she is working on my family's case. She was given only 3 days to solve this case else it would be closed forever. if I hurt her now she won't concentrate" Bryan said.

I looked down

"But you Will tell her right- that you have a girlfriend now  " I asked

"I will, I promise" he said.
