DIARIES OF A GURL IN LOVE by Mercy Dayil

EPISODE 6

"What is he doing here", Suzan thought, she didn't know what to do, to scream, to go down there and give him a dirty slap, to throw him out of the house or just walk out, get a cap and leave. Why will Jeff show up just minutes to her graduating dinner, which kind wahala is this, Suzan felt like the witches from her village were after her.

"She doesn't want to talk to you, better leave our house now before I call my dad, leave immediately" Lean screamed

"Not until I speak with Suzan, I want to talk to her, I know she's in here somewhere", Jeff retorted. Lean stood glaring at him like a Lioness protecting her cub, Jeff stood there looking helpless. "Am begging you, I need to see her, please and please Lean, just a moment with her and I will be grateful", Jeff continued. 

 Lean hesitated , Jeff pushed his way into the living room anyways, seeing Suzan, he stopped in his tracks, she was really looking lavishing, he was astonished and shocked.

Suzan's dad came into the living room at that same moment, looking straight at Jeff he said; " if you lay a single finger on my daughter, I will kill you with my bare hands, I will kill you I swear", Suzan ran downstairs and intervened, she asked for a minute from her protective family, Lean hissed and went back to her room, Mr Agba turned back to his study room, leaving behind his door opened to eavesdrop and be ready, just in case. 

"Jeff !" Suzan called, half screening and glaring at him, " what the hell are u doing here? You have some nerve showing up in my house, I thought I made it clear, I never wanted to see you again?", Suzan shouted, not believing a single word she was saying, she was somehow glad he was there.

"Forgive me Suzan, I can't continue like this, am dying inside, I came to make things right with you, and to make up for what I did to you, I will love to take you to your graduation dinner for a start, I won't let you go alone, I promise never to hurt you again, it will never happen again, I care about you too much to stay away from you, am tired of doing that".

Suzan just stood there,dumbfounded and confused, feeling beyond lost........ She didn't know what to say, hell she had nothing to say, she wasn't sure if she was happy or what, to believe him or not, she was just speechless.

 Jeff came close, held her by the hand and said; " I want to be your date, will you agree and give me a chance? To prove to you beyond reasonable doubt that I have changed for real", with a cat-like sad face, he fixed his eyes on hers.

It was funny, plain funny, Suzan couldn't hide her smile. "Are you serious right now?" Suzan asked.

 "Yes I am damn serious", Jeff answered. After plenty more sorrys and pleads and explanations, Suzan agreed to let him take her, but in her mind, she was hoping she wasnt making a terrible decision, because she will hate herself for it. Suzan went in and explained everything to her dad, he wasn't happy about her decision but told her he respects her decisions and choices, she's was old enough to make her own decisions but she should be careful and not let herself get hurt again.  Suzan called Lynette to let her know she got a date at the last minute ,so she would meet up with them later on.

The ride to the venue was awefully quite, Suzan felt the silence was kinda nice though, Jeff reached over and his hands found Suzan's, their fingers linking together , it felt so natural and easy like they actually fit perfectly, it sounded cliché to think that way but it was true,they did fit perfectly, even though they have totally different personalities.

" You look really gorgeous and ravishing, Suzan", Jeff said

Suzan could not hide the smile forming on her face....... "Really?" She asked blushing, he answered her with a smile and a quick node
