ETCHED IV
Oh Charley, good day ooo. Awurabena and Kwabena (myself... Shhhhhh...don't tell anyone 😉) are happy to have you here today. Chaiii! All you lovely people really made our day yesterday oooo! 😘
Like when I saw the number of y'all who'd come here to read no a, well, let's just say Shatta Wale's freedom was played on repeat saaa (u see the distin no😂😂😉)
Anyway, this is where we got to yesterday :
" I turned around to walk away but he started hurling insults at me and one particular expletive he used prodded me to halt and look back at him . What I saw alarmed me. There stood Eloise right behind him wearing a scowl.
But if you missed Yesterday's post, it's right here!
Now that's done, we present to you Today's chapter... Happy Reading! 😁
'Eloise!' I screamed.
Lois just ignored me and smacked Physical at the back of his head.
And in that moment time stood still. Physical turned around and was about to hurl whatever obscenities he could at the perpetrator of the crime when he suddenly stopped.
I nearly laughed. Rumour had it that he had the hots for Lois since day one and seeing his reaction now, I suddenly believed them.
'Eloise, what a surprise...ermm...' Physical stammered.
Lois was really enjoying the moment. 'Surprised? Surprise is what I felt when I saw how bad you were berating our gentleman here just some few minutes ago.'
She continued with a smirk. 'Pardon my manners but I could not help but draw your attention and the only way I deemed fit was a smack at the back of your head. Looks like it worked.'
The power of attraction. Physical could not even talk. He remained speechless.
'Well if you don't mind,' Lois continued, 'I'll like to have a word with Phyll. We have an assignment to complete.'
She didn't even give him time to recover and reached out to grab my arm.
She smiled sweetly at Physical. 'What time did you say I should see you for those assignments again?'
'Tomorrow will be great.' He replied.
'Alright I'll come along with Phyll then. He could use some explanation too.'
And I knew in that moment Physical could have killed me. The look on his face said it all.
Lois and I walked away giggling as we went along.
Well that's how come we rekindled our relationship. After that incident I just accepted that we'd remain friends till the end.
That had been approximately two years ago. I guess the love never died. I had long since given up on the idea that I'd be just her friend. To hell with that. I loved Lois and I was going to get her to love me too. Trust me it was very frustrating loving someone and not being able to do anything about it. Even more hurting was if the person knew and didn't reciprocate.
Back to reality. Standing in the lecture room I was mesmerized. Her beauty just left me speechless. She was speaking to one of her other lady friends and she laughed. The sound of her laughter sailed on the wings of the the wind to my ears and what soothing effect they gave.
The way she batted her eyelashes when she laughed was captivating, not to talk about those deep dimples which gave her that unique African look and her smile was just like a balm to an aching joint.
Suddenly I just could not handle the emotions that were welling up in me. I could not think straight anymore. I just walked straight up to her and grabbed Lois by the arm and more like dragged her out of the lecture hall.
'Phyll, you're hurting me.' Lois complained.
I was in too much turmoil to even hear her. I loved her too much and it was killing me.
Lois suddenly sounded scared. 'Phylll, please let go of me. You're scaring me.'
I walked quickly to the garden just behind the chemistry department and looked for a suitable spot to say what I had to.
I spotted an empty lovers bench and moved her closer to it. Then I made her sit down.
There were few students around but I didn't mind. I leaned gently over her.
She leaned back looking spooked out. 'Phyll, what's going on...?'
I looked right into her eyes searching the deepest parts of her soul.
'What's going on is that I love you Lois. I always have and always will. I won't hurt you Lois. How do I even say this.'
I threw my hands up in the air.
'Eloise , You've invaded my private world with your smile and understanding heart,
And I always say to myself that you have been different right from the very start.'
I could see I had her attention now.
'We've developed a friendship with trust, with no walls to build or guard and I cherish all what we share but Lois I want more.
Lets leave the past behind and step into the good that could be no matter how hard. Sweets, I've grown to love you with no hidden agenda or false pretense but with only the real me.'
She looked taken aback and I didn't relent in my pursuit.
'Eloise, I love you. You know that.' The look in her eyes said it all. So what in heavens name was she afraid of.
Phyll...,' she began and stopped.
The hot sun beat down on us and I grabbed her by the hand and sprinted for a clump of palm trees about ten yards away.
We were both panting once we reached the trees and fell down together into the grass which was very akward and suddenly wallowing and clutching at each other, we laughed like giddy grade-schoolers.
Once Eloise's eyes had adjusted to the shade, and she could see once again, she propped herself up on one elbow and noticed that I had gone quiet and was staring at her. It made her self-conscious, but she was unable to look away once our eyes had met.
It was then that I noticed she was paying critical attention to me. My tanned skin and golden-brown eyes, the sprinkling of freckles across my nose and lush black hair were to die for. But lying this close to me She couldn't help but notice for the first time just how muscular my shoulders were, and how lush my lips looked.
I caught her hand in mine just before she pulled away, startling her.
When she looked into my eyes once again, my expression was intense, almost threatening.
For a moment, Lois thought maybe I was angry, but before she could ponder it further, I yanked her to me and covered her mouth with mine in a gentle kiss...
PS : Charley, don't keep it to yourself, share with your friends and family or enemies 😂
