Chapter 67

Third Person's POV.

The night sky had already bade the sun goodbye, and was soon grinning down at the Earth, paving way for the moon to showcase its luminous beauty.

Everyone still seemed to want to continue partying, as the music blared from the speakers and the guests busied themselves by swaying to the music. Chioma had long gotten exhausted and was sitting on the couch with Femi by her side, his arms over her shoulders.

"You guys are dulling oh! Come and dance nau. Chioma, dance!" Amara hurried to her side and pulled her up. Chioma let out a tired groan, she'd already danced enough already and wasn't ready to keep dancing anymore.

"I'm really tired!" she whined but Amara wasn't willing to hear any of it. She pulled her to the dance floor, with Damola and the rest hailing her - Damola being the loudest amongst them.

"I seriously don't want to dance!" she protested, and before she knew it, Femi walked towards them.

"Free her nau" he said, and Damola chuckled.

"Romeo, disappear from here with immediate effect!" Femi laughed at his words, and held Chioma's hands in his.

"Then you, come and dance" Amanda suggested and he immediately shook his head, no.

She threw her hands up in the air in frustration, "You both are incredibly boring!" and she danced her way out of there.

Again, they both sat on the couch and Femi placed Chioma's head on his lap as she lay down on the couch, beside him.

From a distance, Agozie observed them both - with a sad smile on his lips. He couldn't, and wouldn't deny the fact that he still felt something for her. But he knew nothing could happen between them - absolutely nothing. He was aware Femi loved her way too much. And he didn't want to intervene in that. Femi was his friend, and although they'd only known each other for a year, he grew so fond of him due to his calm and amazing personality.

He couldn't take Chioma away from him. Femi was a really nice person who deserved more than what he had gotten in the past. And he wasn't willing to ruin just about another important part in his life. Agozie, being the kind of person who'd do anything for a friend, or family, was willing to back away - under the pretence of basic friendship - just so his friend could be happy.

No one knew about this, and he wanted to keep things that way too. All along, everyone had predicted him to be basically a player - they weren't wrong, for that was who he was. Although, no one knew why he was actually like that. He was afraid of commitments 'cause he was afraid of losing the person he'd grow to love - just like he just lost Chioma, even before he could even tell her how he actually felt. He didn't want to get too attached, 'cause he didn't want to get hurt. He truly didn't want to know how it felt to be heartbroken - but now? He had an insight of what it felt like... And it was truly awful.

To him, it was best to avoid commitments... He felt variety was the spice of life, and didn't want to be all attached to a person that'd somehow hurt him by leaving or even dying. He didn't want to know how that felt like, but sadly, now he did. All these were true, his carefree and nonchalant behavior remained intact and his flirtatious ways stood still, not until he met Chioma.

He wasn't even able to flirt with other girls as much as he used to 'cause he'd thought he'd finally found someone he actually liked, and would like to settle down with. He was wrong, but he pacified himself, in the hope that one day that person would come.
