Chelsea; My Big, Fat, Fabulous Love By Nwachukwu Christopher Ishioma Avwerosuo

CHAPTER 42

   After some seconds without Chelsea answering Dennis's question, he change his question.

  " Or don't you believe in love?" He asked and Chelsea just looked away, everywhere else but at him.

" It's a lie, you can't not believe in love, it is atrocious not to. Love is everywhere and it is a crime not to believe in it or that it exists" He commented.

" You will say so because you are in love, according to you" She told him," How will I be sure that it is love and not passing fancy, that will diminish after some month or years, because anyone that can pronounce the word love , can say I love you from their mouth and not mean it from their heart" She added sorrowfully, " And FYI love hurts in the worst possible way, if it isn't reciprocated. It only feels good to love somebody and somebody loves you back, but when it is one sided it is the worst feeling possible " She added.

" Yeah it's true if the person loves you back, story of my life" He agreed, referring to their love, "But Don't commonize my love. I don't know what you have gone through in the name of love, but it exists. It's just to look in the right place and right person, some people are just not meant to be together and them saying they are in love will end up terribly" He said," And yes, I am in love and not ashame to say so, unlike you " He added.

" What do you mean by that?" She asked.

" You are so into me" He boasted.

" Who told you so?" She asked.

" You" He answered.

" When, how?" She asked astonished by his confidence.

" By the way you look at me, the way you treat me and other things" He replied.

" And how do I look at you or treat you that tells you I love you?" She asked, " If it is this way I don't think you understand what love is " She told him .

" I don't want to argue about love with you or about our love " He told her with finality.

" That's if our love exists " She muttered.

" Stop denying it too much, because it will sound as if you are trying to hide it " He told her.

" Whatever you say, at this point I will agree to anything you say " She said in surrender.

" That's better, I think we are getting somewhere " He said.

" If you think so " She replied," I hope so" She murmured hopefully.

" What did you say?" He asked, since he didn't hear what she said.

" Nothing" She replied, thankful that he didn't hear what she said and the hopeful tone in which she said it.

" When is it?" He asked her.

" What?" She asked, not getting what he was asking about.

" Your birthday" He answered.

" I thought we agreed to forget about the discussion of my birthday and you should know when it is, since you said you saw it on Facebook" She told him

" Who agreed with you?, Me I don't think so and I don't remember agreeing to such a thing " He replied," And I'm asking for the exact day , I just want to confirm " He told her, as he looks down uncomfortably without saying anything else and trying to bring out his phone to check.

" Oh you didn't check the exact date." She said to him, catching on that in his excitement to discover something new about her , he forgot to check for the date of her birthday, "Wow, this is rich coming from you. Later you will say you love me" Chelsea murmured.
