So finally.... We were back here again "Lagos" this same place where we had first met and found love, as little kids, not knowing what it was then or what it meant when you had butterflies in your tummy from sighting that someone. Deborah stared into YãRó's eyes like she was trying to look into his soul, as he walked towards her where she stood
"Tigress" he called out gently " it's been a while, you're even more beautiful than I recall"
A smile formed on Debbie's face " Thanks for the compliment, I see, you've gotten even more taller and as handsome as you've always been"
" Nice flattering my lady"
" Just stating fact "
" I've missed you" he moved into her space" I miss us being kids, life wasn't as complicated then"
Debbie heaved heavily" I know right?, When all we thought about then was how we felt for each other before it all crumbled"
YãRó stepped back a little, raised his eyes to look into hers " It was all your fault " he muttered, as he watched her closely
"There was no one else.. I.." Debbie lips opened to speak, but she couldn't, they were not here for this, not here to talk about betrayal or hurt .
She could feel the distance again, the void that had torn them apart, she caught her breath, still staring at him, he looked so hot resting against the wall-she felt like being in those arms again. He was not the first guy that had made my heart skipped,he was not the first guy that had made butterflies rumble in my stomach, but he is the first guy that has refused to die in my heart. All this years, the distance, the fights, the hatred, the misunderstanding.... Everything put together and yet, I still couldn't get over him, meanwhile, he did move on, so tell me why I'm still suffering from loving him, it's been 9 years, I still want him back, this same guy I have loved since the very first day we met, this same guy I have loved since we were kids, I can't bear to keep it anymore, I can't seem to move on, my heart was meant to pump blood, but it fell in love instead, this unreciprocated love, I wish I had a hear made of stone.
" Guess who's also here"
His voice penetrated her thoughts, bringing her back to reality, she was lost
"Who?" It was nothing but a silent whisper, her face flushed from the thought of being in his space again
"Marvelous"
Her face shine brightly, "Marvel??-really, where's she?"Debbie asked excitedly, she was grinning from ear to ear, nothing felt happier than having a friend who wasn't YãRó beside her
"Outside, by the pool and some..." Before he could complete his words, she was already dashing through, her breast rubbing against his arms l, as she walked by, Damn, she was still the same.
