....‘’I’m so
sorry Jeff. It’s just that I already forgot most of my childhood memories but concerning
the job thing, I promise to talk to my dad about it. He will definitely get something
for you before the week runs out.
I promise
you that’’ she assured me while I silently smiled. Of course there was nothing there
to say. Blessed on her own part gave me a knowing look filled with unspoken words
which I clearly understood. We were surely using Lydia’s head without her
knowing it.
But it was
all for her own good. My only problem and fear was Blessed who could eventually
turn back to use all the secrets and lies against me.
‘’aww I have
to go get more sauce’’ Blessed suddenly breathed, standing up with a small plate.
‘’I will
be back in a jiffy’’ she added and headed to the kitchen while Lydia and I exchanged
glances. ‘’she’s so much in love with you. Tell me the
truth, you
guys are dating right?’’ she asked curiously.
‘’no we
are not’’ I truthfully answered, but instead of facing her food, she left her
eyes on me waiting for me to
explain further. And I had to come up with a
pretty good defense.
‘’you see
in my condition I can’t afford to be in any relationship. I have nothing to
offer anyone and I can’t just take advantage of a beautiful and nice girl like Blessed
because of my selfishness or maybe what I stood to gain from her. Secondly i
have no special feelings for her. I value her friendship and care but that’s
it. I can’t deceive her and pretend to love her only for us to end up hating
each other tomorrow. She’s way better off without me. She deserves the best
guy. My priority now is to make out something for myself’’ I softly explained while
she dropped her eyes as if my words found a place in her heart. It was just as
if she was so touched.
Blessed
showed up from the kitchen that very moment and stared at us with suspicion. It
was just as if she perceived something, she noticed something that made her uncomfortable.
Yes I
really had no strong feelings for Blessed but supposing we met in a different circumstance
or position, perhaps I would have gladly tried her out but in this situation I
couldn’t risk it. What I felt for her wasn’t just enough to risk my job and
career for.
