"But how am I supposed to love you, when I don't love who I am? And how can I give you all of you me, when I'm only half a man?"
Half a Man - Dean Lewis
Moyo's POV
The guys coming over on Saturday actually helped me take my mind off the thoughts in my head. It was a much needed distraction. I know I shouldn't avoid my problems but I am.
I had a good time though. The game was good. The food was good. The company too. If you minus Dami's annoying presence and the fact that Ashely has been making not so subtle advances at me.
Finally they left. We said our byes, Ashley tried to stay back but Chidi helped me get her out. I was finally alone and the thoughts came rushing back. Fuck I can't keep avoiding this, him. Someone knocks at my door. Probably one of the guys forgot something. Deji especially could forget his arms if they weren't attached to him.
"What did you for-" my words get cut off as I stare at the person standing at my door. Austin.
"How- how did you get in?" Fuck. That's a stupid thing to ask. I sounded like I didn't want him here. Which isn't entirely a lie. His expression is one of hurt but it passes as soon as it came.
He puts on a tight smile. "I actually came to see you and Moyin let me in. She was heading out with a girl, so she told me you were here." He explained.
I realized he's still standing there awkwardly so I let him in.
We both stand in the middle of my room. Awkwardly staring at anywhere but each other.
I heard him take a deep breath and cleared his throat.
"I'm sorry about the other day." He said bluntly. We both know what day he's talking about.
I don't respond. Settling for twisting my fingers instead, still not looking at him.
He took a step towards me and I'm too nervous to take one back too.
"I'm sorry I kissed you." He said. Dropping the bomb in the room. The room suddenly feels way smaller.
"Don't be sorry. I kinda wanted you to."

Oops...☠️ I know it's short and kinda a cliffhanger but I'm saving the details for Moyo's book.
DAID NYONE EXPECT THIS TURN OF EVENTS?
