IVAN:
"So Brown eyes, tell me about your self " I asked hoping to get to know her.
"Nothing interesting about me" she took a deep breath and I sensed fear.
What could she be scared of about her life? "You don't have to tell me something you don't want to. Just tell me what you're ok with" I assured her.
"It might sound hollow" she gave me a pls-don't-question -my story-because-it-scares-the-shit-outta-me look "you'll accept it?"
"Tell me what you're comfortable with" I prompted and topped my wine.
"I'm the second child in my family"
Number of children? Hollow 1.
"My name is Rufina Rose Brown, I was born in Accra and I lived there until i was about to clock fifteen with my parents"
questionable Hallow 2
"Something...i can't tell you, at least not now happen and i landed in Nigeria and I live with my family...You know where "she finished with a pls-don't-ask-me-any-question-about-that.
Something I can't tell you Hallow 3
"I" landed in Nigeria? Too confusing to analyse.
Well she warned me. I just hope to earn her trust enough for her to fill those gaps and let me into her life.
" K Rose Brown! Tell me what film you love best" The relieve in her expression was obvious.
"Titanic of course no other film beats that"
"I second that"
"Though I wished they had an "happily ever after".
"Not, all love story ends with an "happily ever after". At least not In my world.
"My time to question you Ivan, why don't you love Mexican soaps"
I'd expected that question "Mexican soaps talk about a world that doesn't exist"
"As in?"
"Romance, love, trust, friendship blah blah"
She looked at me with worry and question in her eyes "You don't believe all that exist?"
"It doesn't Rufi" Just now im begining to wonder, maybe it does.
"This might sound strange Ivan but let me assure you that love, friendship romance and trust does exist "she looked convincing "My life is a prove that those things exists. I know romance does exists too 'cus I've seen it firsthand"
Maybe for her but if there any of these thing that I believed in it had to be friendship, others were just not real .
Now, Maybe love. Trust too.

RUFI:
As we ate dessert I kept catching Ivan looking at me with this strange look on his face. It was like him trying to make sure something about me is real, I don't know what it was but it gave me this tingling feeling, no one has ever looked at me that way.
"Is there something wrong" I finally asked.
"hmm-oh-no it's nothing" he stutters "It's nothing" the repeated sounding as if he was trying to convince himself.
I like Ivan, I really do but the idea that this could be more than a dinner with a friend scares me. I never had any fear with victor since I know he had eyes only for Maria but Ivan is sending me vibes I pray to God is nothing more than friendship.
