As soon as I get to my door,I bang on it until Grace opens,then i rush to the window, looking down to the gate, hoping he hadn't left yet.
He was still there,and I can see him leaning his head against the headrest, running his hand down his head.He must be really frustrated.I watch as he picks up his phone and taps at it for a while.
A few seconds later,I receive a message saying;
"Hey,you ok?"
"Yeah,good" I text back
"Why did you run" He texts back.
I do not reply,I see him lift his head to look up the building,I am not sure he can see me.But it warms me that he is watching for me.
As I stand watching,Grace comes up behind me and hugs me from behind.Its exactly what I need at this point.I lift my arm and put it around her as we watch him drive away.
I am sure she knows there is nothing to dance about today.
After a moment of silence,she finally speaks;
"Are you seeing him again?"She asks, tightening her hold on me.
It's obvious she hopes for us to continue seeing each other,but do two chance meetings make for a relationship?Moreover,I do not want a relationship based on lies and deceit.
"How can he want someone like me?" I ask with a small sigh, disengaging myself from her hold.
I can tell Grace is pissed at my reply.
"Someone like you? What does that mean?" She asks,with her hand on her hip, looking like she is about to smack me over the head.
"You know what I mean.I am dirty.Used goods" I reply in a frustrated voice.I do not want to have this conversation.But I know Grace,she'll pester me until I spill my guts.
At this point I wish she wasn't such a good friend.
"Are you stupid or are you just dense? How can anyone in their right senses not love you?You are the realest person I know?" She replies, pointing a finger in my face.
"Love?Love? How can someone like that love me? You sound like you do not know the kind of Job we are into? If you were a man would you love me?" I say,on the verge of tears.
"Oh honey,why don't you just take it a day at a time.You deserve some happiness in your life" She says, moving forward to hug me.
"What if I do something wrong?" I ask,tears streaming down my eyes.
I can't really remember the last time I cried.When my world came crashing down, there was no room for tears.
"I won't let that happen.I will be with you every step of the way" she says,wiping my tears away.
"Oh,I am the only real person you know" I say, making reference to her previous statement.
"So? Are you seeing the BriMan again?" She asks, bursting with curiosity.
I chuckle lightly.
I sit on the bed, making sure to leave enough room for Grace and her pucknosing spirit.
"I don't know if he would want to see me again"I reply shyly.
"Why? Because you ran from one kiss? Is he mad?" She says as if ready to defend my honour on the battlefield.
Who would have thought I would be having my first bout of boy problems at 23,when girls at 15 these days would have had their first boyfriend's,even holding auditions for seconds.
