Chapter 64

A/N: Sorry, I had to republish this cause I didn't specify Chioma's POV in the last part. Sorry ❤️

Chioma's POV.

A Loud groan escaped my lips the minute my alarm rang in my ears. I tossed on my bed, grabbing my pillow and hurriedly stuffing it on my face. The darn thing rang again, much louder than before, and I angrily got out of bed and turned it off.

Mondays...

Which now meant I had to go to work. The horror! Not that I didn't like my job, I did - I really did - but, I also love sleeping in, WITHOUT my stupid alarm having to disturb my beauty sleep. I groggily rubbed my sleepy eyes and yawned loudly, and my eyes finally landed on my digital alarm clock.

6:45am.

It read, and I lazily lay back on my bed. I still wanted to sleep, but the fact that I had to get dressed for work didn't let me do that. I just had to get out of bed once again, muttering words unintelligently and making my way to my bathroom. As I got into my bathroom, and stared at my reflection in the mirror on the wall, my mind traveled back to yesterday.

Femi had kissed me... And I liked it.

Honestly, I wasn't expecting that AT ALL, and I was utterly dumbfounded by it. I'd felt the electricity run down my spine, and I couldn't explain the sparks and numerous emotions going through my head, mind and entire body. It was crazy - really crazy.

Basically, I was confused... And scared... And worried. To be honest, I'm not ready to get my heart broken yet again. And Femi? Femi is way too nice for me, and I'm not even sure how to feel about everything that'd happened. But one thing I'm certain of, is that I did feel something when he kissed me, and that's why I kissed back. Was I wrong to have done that? Perhaps I was only caught up in the moment?

But why was I so jealous yesterday? I was almost one hundred percent sure, that he'd flirted with those girls 'cause two of them came to him, all flirty-eyed, and he spoke to them - flirty-eyed too - and even laughed. That was flirting! but then he denied it. And next thing I know, we're dancing, and he's kissing me? It's definitely too much to handle right now,' cause I thought I was taking a break from men and romantic relationships. I just didn't want to get hurt again, and also don't want to be single forever, but it's just... It's basically complicated!

Love is hard. Love is really hard!

I'm sure of that. I'm sure it's a wonderful feeling too, but when you fall in too deep, you'll surely get hurt. And that's not what I want. Femi is a really lovely person, he's really understanding and cares way too much about the ones he loves and respects... And that, that, is basically another reason I'm scared. I'm afraid of losing him, 'cause I know he has tons of admirers and he kinda seems like a gentle but secret flirt to me. I mean, the dude is handsome, he's rich, and he has an amazing personality. A girl would be really foolish to miss that, right?

That means...
I'll be really foolish to miss that.

But how am I even sure that he kissed me 'cause he likes me. He didn't say so himself, and it was probably' cause he was caught up in the moment. Apparently, I was standing so close to him... And maybe that's the only reason he did it. I do remember him saying once that I wasn't his type. Although that was when we were both sworn enemies, I still fear he actually meant that.
