Mine & Yours

She was unable to sleep and she picked up her laptop. She retrieved her phone from her bag and placed it on her bed side table. She put on her laptop and thought hard on the movie to watch. She finally decided on The Fault In Our Stars.

Halfway through the movie, she was already in tears with a box of tissues beside her and just couldn't control her emotions. "I thought this was supposed to stop making me feel this way." she cried to herself.

Her phone buzzed and she picked it up to check. Message from Izzy : "Yoooooooooooooo. Tim just called and asked to hang out . We're going to watch a movie tomorrow. He also invited me for a family dinner on Friday night. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH TEE!!!". She wasn't interested but she replied anyways. "I'm happy for you Izz. Just make sure you don't 'fall in love' with anyone else very soon. Xoxo.". "And send" she said.

"Gosh, I need to talk to someone." she said scrolling through her  contact list. She stopped at Ian and decided to text him
"Hey. Wanna come over?" 
"Sure."He replied almost immediately as though he was waiting for her message. "I'll be there in ten." he added. "Bring chocolates, I'm out." she replied. "Sure thing. Fifteen then." he responded.

She didn't bother putting on any other piece of clothing cause she didn't really care much for covering her body. She set her laptop aside and went to open the door for Ian.

"The doors are open, lock them when you're in." she texted. "Okay" he replied two minutes later.

The Originals was on and she was watching with keen interest failing to notice the tall figure that entered her room. It wasn't until he jumped on her bed she jerked up she realized he had arrived. "You fucker! Ugggh" she said placing her head in her palms. "You almost bloody killed me." she said turning to him. "Eeeshhh. Too much originals in you." he teased.

"Abeg go away!" she said. "Okay." he said, standing up to leave the room. "Stop nauuuu. You sef, you don't understand a simple joke again abi? Come back joor." she said "I need my chocolate.". He stopped and laughed at her "I missed you Tee." he said walking back to her and giving her a tight hug. "I missed you too Ian." she replied returning the hug.

"How have you been Lotanna?" he asked. "Not too good. No, not good at all." she said wearing a frown. "Depressed again?" he asked going to sit next to her. "Yeah." she said. "Ian, I just feel it's getting worse." she said putting her face in her hands again, rubbing hard. "Aww babe." he said with a look of concern using his right hand to bring her closer to himself and rubbing her arm gently.

"Life is shitty right now Ian. Like, I just cry everytime and I don't even know how to explain what I feel." she said
"Babe."

"Yeah?"

"I love you okay?"

"I know you do. I love you too."

"I'm always gonna be here for you. No matter what. I'm always gonna be here. Wanna cry right now? I'm gonna cry with you. Wanna kill yourself right now? I'm gonna run away, wanna-"

"Ian!!"

"What?"

"You're gonna run away? Really?"

"I'm not ready to go to jail babe."

"Go away!!"

He laughed and said "I'm gonna be right here. Tee."
