Forever His

Chapter Nine

Andrew's POV

"We aren't friends."

Who is she kidding? Everyone knows that we can't stay away from each other. That only happened when I made the worst mistake of my life, when I lost her.

I know I fucked up real bad and I'm totally sorry for it. I deserve a chance to right my wrongs and I'm doing everything in my power to do just that but Riya just doesn't see it. It pains me greatly.

I love that girl more than I even love breathing but she doesn't believe me. She believes she's just a game, trust me, she's a lot better than a game. I wouldn't make the same mistake twice.

Maybe I'm taking the wrong steps. Maybe I should give her more space.

I gave her the much needed space. Those six months were just enough for her and those months were real hell for me.

When I heard she was to write UTME (Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination) and WASSCE (West African Senior School Certificate Examination) I was determined to write the exam with her. I had to bribe my mum not to tell her mum that I was sitting for the exams because if her mum knew she'd find out sooner than later. Those two really didn't know when to keep shut.

I also had to write the Post UTME in order to get admission to the school and trust me the three exams put together were the hardest exams I had ever written in my life. It was all for her, all the tutorials and extra classes I had to get in order to be able to sit for the exams were worth it.

At this point I knew I was very close to getting her back. Her walls were cracking and breaking down faster than I thought. I'd like to give her some real credit, her walls were high up for close to four years surviving the little cracks without crumbling. This time around those walls weren't going to survive again. They're going down.

I watched her retreating figure and I really couldn't help but check her out. Though her back was to me, that was enough. The way her ass bounced as she took each step was enough to make any guy stare. She wasn't exactly curvy but she was an average lady, just how I love her. Her curves were to die for.

I shifted my gaze to my friends and I could see their eyes were stuck to her or rather her ass. Even James who had Maya on his laps was staring. James was caught Maya spanked his head.

Pervs! That ass belongs to me. She belongs to me.

I walked over to them and slammed my hands on the table, giving them a death glare.

"Sorry man, it's not my fault that she's that hot, I couldn't help but stare." Zayn rose his hands in mock surrender and his brother Zack smacked his head.

"Shut up." Zack said glaring at his twin.

Zayn and Zack were identical twins and it only took their really close friends to differentiate them. Well it was just James and I. Even Maya who had been dating James for over a year and had been around us still didn't know how to differentiate them.

I took my seat beside Zayn. "She'll be mine soon, just watch." I told them confidently.

If I wasn't sure of myself these past four years then this time around I was. I've never been more sure of anything in my life.

"I never really believed you when you told us about that hoodie bro," Zack said nodding to the door where she walked out from.

"Exactly what I was thinking," Ayo, my second best friend said.

Ayo was the silent one in our group. He isn't really social but when you get to know him, you'll ask yourself how you got to be friends with him.

"Well now you know" I said with a small smile as the memory replyed in my head.

"Happy Anniversary babe." I said as I gave her the poorly wrapped box.

Her eyes lit up and she smiled, that smile that could light up a whole room.

She took the box from my hands and ripped the wrapping paper in two. I could see the excitement rolling off of her as she impatiently opened her gift.

I played with my fingers, nervous and excited for her reaction.

She has been dying for cropped hoodies for the past weeks and since I really didn't know what to get her I decided to get us customized hoodies, mine obviously not cropped.

I knew she was going to love it, especially the words at the back.

She gasped as she saw what was in the box. She took out both hoodies, examining them.

Mine dropped from her grasp and she looked shocked that they were two. She examined the one in her hands and when she turned it around her eyes nearly bulged out of her sockets.

"Forever his," She read out. She quickly picked up the second one, reading the words at the back, "Forever hers"

We are blacks and our skins don't tell when we blush but I can swear I saw her cheeks tint pink.

She hugged me and I hugged her back, wrapping my arms around her petite figure "I love you Victoria, forever."

"I love you too Andrew." She held me tighter.

"Earth to Andrew" James snapped his fingers in my face.

I shook my head, my thoughts disappearing for now.

"Sorry what did you say?" I looked at him.

Everyone on the table laughed, making me roll my eyes at them.

The guys went ahead ordering their food while I just ordered a bottle of coke as I watched them. I wasn't hungry but I followed them here since I had nothing else to do.

And I was kind of hoping to see Riya this evening. I was lucky I listened to my brain for once.

I haven't seen her or heard from her since we had our mini fight two days ago and it was killing me. Even though sometimes we don't talk but seeing her alone is enough to soothe my aching heart.

I was whipped.
