Heyoo!❤️
EFYA GWENIBOAT'S POV
Tracing my eyes along the bumpy broad chest to his face alone, grabbed a fourth percentage of my admiring nerves, I looked up only to see the nice faced guy from earlier.
I held on a moment to stare, noticing the glint of heroic energy in his puppy eyes, I stood in confusion, and wandered as to why we are in this position now.
In a slow pace and yet unwilling conscience, I took a step back away from his comfortable chest and warmth arms completely. "Um... I was close by and noticed you walking unsteadily towards the gate, I did my best to keep you from crashing into it!" He explained, helping my stiffened shoulders to finally relax somehow, from that brief awkward moment.
"Oh... Thank you, I will be careful next time!" I tucked some strayed hair strands behind my ears when I noticed his soft smile, Gosh! He is all that, before I would begin fantasising, a thought of how many ladies might have nuzzled him up until now, knocked my head back in place.
Brad is still out there, as I motioned for the gate ones again, he began his introduction: "I am Koffi, can I perhaps...", "I have something important to attend to behind the gate, can we do this... May be next time?" I interrupted before seeing the end of this encounter.
"I won't take much of your time, Angel! Just want to know... And she is gone! Okay..." I walked away as he kept ranting, not ready to get my heart tangled in any pain-filled bosom of a guy.
I swayed the gate opened after a brief sigh, and it seemed two years came with magic in his appearance. Brad looked completely different, with well built muscles and trimmed beard, when did he grow that by the way?
I watched as he leaned against his car, I presumed staring on his phone, Wow! How has he managed to change so much like that? I can't believe he looked extra better than when we were together, that's really a discredit to me.
I heard a recognizable voice from the security post behind me, towards the center of the parking lot, Oops! Turns out I am admiring the wrong guy, Brad stood pocketed, not looking bad though, I felt smuggy for looking way prettier now and having no feeling towards him anymore.
We pretty much lost nothing after separating, I took a look at the other guy once more before turning back to Brad. I moderately ordered my steps towards him, the person in front of me has a fine tone and somehow fairer than I could remember.
"Hi... Brad! You are back and here looking for me?" I held my confidence atop my nervousness as I folded my arms and tilted my neck to the left.
He chuckled as he stared away for a moment, " Yeah, it is quite obvious I am back, it has been two years already, but you haven't changed that much"
He reached out sarcastically in response with his now deep voice."Yeah but you have! You really, really have, everything about you, including your complexion! Have you been into any cosmetic dealer's pocket?"
"Not really, it was a side effect of an allergy pill, but I stopped taking them... How have you been? I have noticed your books are finally doing well, congratulations!" It seems he is quite better at rolling things off his back.
"Mm! Thank you, you really have kept a tap on it, were you in anyway hoping it never gets better?" I turned a quirky questionnaire, blurting my thoughts for answers.
"Hush! This problem is still alive with you? Seriously you have to work on it, anyways I'm here for the keys... My aunt said she rented a space for me, I had no idea it was your place until few hours ago!"
He answered a bit straight forward and perturbed by my statement. I hesitantly handed over the keys to him eager to find out the reason for our break up, and what problem he was making a fuzz about.
"Did you break up with me because of this problem huh?" I asked straight forward too, whiles utterly having no clue as to what that problem could be.
"It took you long enough! Yeah, I mean, it wasn't easy to deal with, the fact that I was always second to that and yet couldn't race with it, that was troublesome and hard to deal with!" He lost all braveness to keep a constant eye contact.
"Sorry, but I... I still haven't figured out the problem you speak of... I asked that because you were particular about it!" I came out slow witted... At least in his eyes, but in my mine it was only a mind game.
He scoffed for a period whiles contemplating whether to scorn me more... "I hated the fact that you were a writer! My problem was with the placement of your mentality, you always failed to notice me because.... Because
you chose to live in your own head, your imaginations, making speculations and... The lack of affection from your end, our relationship basically... ""Lacked me?" I concluded for him once I managed to puzzle out his pieces.
He chuckled along his response," yeah! You were never in there, I had to weigh out what would help you so that one wouldn't be a burden, so I chose to stay away instead of pushing you to quit your passion..."
"Wow! I can't believe you felt that way? I mean to me, we were doing good you know... So I wasn't wrong with your congratulations?" I made the jazz hands.
"Neither was I when I talked about your speculations, I only didn't like your writing when we were together back then, not now! I am sincerely Happy for you okay, we've talked enough, first time in history though!"
He began as I felt bored." See you at home... I have to go back now!"
His next question which echoed in my ears halted my steps..." So what's his name? You could have introduced us you know?"
