The story of my young life episode 6

Sequence 6
.
CONT. FROM LEAH’S POV
Plastered on the wall was the most beautiful work of art I’ve ever set my eyes on. I was literally staring at a spitting image of myself, only that it was in form of sketch. By the side of the drawing was an inscription
“As beautiful as her heart.
To the one I live”
The handwriting was very familiar to me so I starred at him waiting for an explanation.
“bestie, I did the drawing but I swear to you I don’t know how it got here”
Looking at him, I noticed he was sincere, but how did it get pasted on the wall”
“I know you are good in drawing but I never knew you were this good, this is me in sketch, and to even think it’s an imaginative drawing, awwwwwn, I feel I’m gonna cry”
“does that mean you are okay with it ”
” common Val, its not everyday people get lucky to have this kind of drawing with so much love in it. Thank you bestie you’re the best”
I pulled him into a hug and he embraced me like a lost child who just found his mother.
“you give me so much joy Leah”
The whole class went “awwwwwn” and I could hear clapping and hooting.
I started feeling shy so I pulled away from the hug
“how do I get this off here without ruining it, I’m so much in love with it already
“I’ll help with that” I heard Nelson say, and surprisingly he pulled it without even a tear.
We were still enjoying the moment when our Chemistry teacher walked into the class room. We all rushed to our seat to get ready for the day’s business.
VALENTINE POV
I was indeed surprised when I saw my latest drawing of Leah pasted on the wall, in front of the classroom, then I remembered coming back from dinning the other night to find my locker open, there was only one person I suspected and he gave me a thumbs up. I knew at once that he was the culprit but I was scared because I feared how Leah would react, but to my surprise it turned out to be one of the best moments of my life.
“my guy, I give this one to you bro”
“I told you to forget, Leah is already yours”
“serious I feared she was gonna freak out, but how did you manage to put this up”
“forget matter for matthias, what’s important that we were able to wow her”
“see I owe you big time bro, for this”
“what are friends for, we help each other in times like this.
“guy you too much”
“I’m counting on you to take it up from here, no fall my hand oh”
“Nelson you are the main man I swear ”
From now, I will take things one step at a time, and before she knows she will realize I’m the right one for her. I smiled to myself as I thought of the plans I’ve put together already, let the game begin.
EPISODE EIGHT
LEAH POV
“this guy really loves you Leah, give him a chance, cut all this bestie stuff”
“I thought we have settled this issue before, I have boyfriend and I don’t wish to double date”
“do you call that cheat a boyfriend, mtcheeeeew, suit yourself, but don’t run back to me crying when he hurts you one more time”
“please stop this abeg, I love valentine like a brother, I don’t feel anything for him, and I think it’s time I iron out things with him”
Just then a junior student ran up to meet us
“senior good afternoon, please this is for you”
I collected the paper from her and opens it.
“bestie please come meet me at the Lab. It’s important
Val”
“what’s that” “it’s from Val, he said I should meet him at the Lab” ” should I follow you” “don’t worry, just go ahead, I think it’s the best time to sort this whole thing out” “OK, if you insist, just be careful oh” we hugged and I walked to the Lab
When I got there I found him sitting, so I walked him
“Val we really need to talk”
“yes we do, that’s why I called you here, but we are going to somewhere else not here”
“were exactly ” ” trust me darling, I promise I won’t bite you” “funny, whose afraid of you, abeg go jare”
We walked together, towards the back of the school field, and then we got to a Place that looked like a garden, it was so beautiful with lovely flowers.
“wow! I’ve been in this school for two years and I never knew a place like this existed”
“this is where I normally come to spend my quite time and to make those drawings of you”
“you mean you have many drawings of me”
“more than a dozen”
“can I see them” “if you wish” “I’ll love to, Val you are a great guy but……….
” shush, please don’t say anything, let me do the talking,
Leah Nwachkwu, my first friend in FGC, my best friend, the one who helped me to improve my grades without giving up on me and made mom proud of me, I feel in love with you from the first day I set my eyes on you, Every day I wake up with smiles because I have some one so precious close to me, you give me so much joy Leah, I’ve never felt this way for anyone. I will never ruin our friendship because I believe that every strong lasting relationship is based on true friendship.
You may not see the future now but I do, I know you are my future and I’m not going to allow my emotions to ruin this sweet bond we have. I believe in my heart that some day, you will realize that we are truly meant for each other, and until that day, I’m patiently going to wait, no matter how long it takes”
I was dumbfounded, I didn’t expect this, I was caught in between two worlds and for minutes, my tongue seized, my brain ran short for words.
He moved close and held my hands, slowly caressing it, I felt fire burning through me, I never felt that way before.
“we can sit here for a while that’s if you don’t mind”
“sure let’s sit”
We sat on a fallen tree trunk.
“you know, I think we should carve our initials on the tree tree trunk, you know just like a reminder ”
” that’s sounds like a good idea, you know, look at that nail pick it up we can use it”
He picked up the nail and we carved our initials on it
VAL
&
LEAH.
BFF. For life
“wow, who ever discovers here after us will know we’ve been here before him or her”
“for your mind oh, but I discovered it first now”
“see this one ooh, is this one discovery, when you’re mates are discovering better things, mtcheeeeew ”
We laughed together and our eyes met. We helped the gaze looking at each other’s eyes, then as if pulled by a supernatural force, our lips locked in the most mind blowing kiss I’ve ever had.
CONT. FROM LEAH POV
My mind was fighting for me to pull away, but my body was unwilling, it was as if my mouth was glued to his.
Finally he removed his lips
“we’ll surely remember this day someday Leah”
With that, he ,cupped my face with his two hands and planted a kiss on my fore face.
“Val please I need to go to the hostel”
“So we are good right ” he asked
” we are friends ” I replied
” I love to be your friend ”
” whatever, please let’s get out of here”
We walked silently back to the hostel, guilt was killing me, I can’t believe I just kissed Val, and the feeling was out of this world, I’ve never felt that Way with Eric before.
What is happening to me, what’s with this feeling I’m having.
It’s definitely not love, there is only one person I love and that is Eric, and I’m going to make things go back to the way it was.
“Leah, you are walking with me but your mind is at Abuja abi, we’ve reached girls dormitory ooh, ” he said pulling me out of my thoughts.
” oh, I didn’t even realize, maybe it’s this headache Im having, I’ll run along now before I start answering unnecessary questions from all these annoying seniors” I said hurrying along.
“OK, see you during dinner ”
” please bring those drawings along, I’ll really love to see them ”
” yes her majesty ” he said blowing me a kiss.
I ran into the hostel, luckily for me, all seniors were not around, I they were in a meeting with the Senior Boarding House Mistress, so I quietly sneaked to my corner.
“Finally ooh, I thought you will not come back again, here, I know you must be hungry ”
She handed me a bowl of soakings, (cornflakes, milk, sugar and water).
“thank you jare, but I don’t have appetite, I don’t know what came over me, nitty I messed up”
“now you are beginning to scare me, what happened ”
” I’m a cheat now, nitty I cheated on Eric”
“wait a sec, don’t tell me you guys did it in the Lab”
“No, when I got to the Lab, he took me to a garden at the back of the School field, that’s were it happened”
“So you mean to tell me that what was meant to be just a talk for you both to iron yourselves out turned out to be a sex in some garden, Leah how could you allow such a thing” she was raising her voice now
“hey bring down your voice, and who said I had Sex with Val”
“but you just said it yourself that you cheated”
“we only kissed, and I felt……” She cut me short
“mtcheeeeew, you are mad this girl, so you want to give me high BP. Abi?
So ordinary kiss and you call that one cheating, you really need help,
but wait oh, you said you guys kissed, how come, I mean what happened, hmmmmmmmm Leah, I seems you are falling already oh”
“don’t be silly jare, it was just a stupid mistake, I’ll never let it happen again ”
” mistake my foot, accept reality girl,
Wow!!, so you mean Val took you to a garden just to kiss you, awwwwwn, the guy is so romantic, girlfriend this is a real guy crazily in love with you ”
” Enough!!, I love only one guy and that is Eric, so as my friend it’s best if you respect my decision”
“if you say so, but say I didn’t warn you oh”
” whatever, please I need to rest, I had a very long day today”
I took of my u uniform and lay on my bed, I needed to have a little nap before evening dinning.
ERIC POV
“Yeah, harder, give it to me baby, ahhhhhh, you’re so sweet”………..
I collapsed on the bed as I reached my c----x
“babe you’re so sweet and hot” I said tickling her
“So you know, but you will still leave me and be running after that your secondary school girlfriend ”
” Abeg don’t just go there, leave Leah out of this please you know how I feel about her”
“then I’m your sex machine abi”
“No now, you know you want this thing, and I also want yours so why don’t we enjoy the moment and forget about this argument, do you think I don’t know you have a serious boyfriend”
“hmmmmmmmm, that one that can’t even satisfy me, I’m just hanging around him because of the money,
but seriously I’m ready to quit him, just say the the word, you know how much I love you Eric, and I know you love me too, just forget about that Leah girl and I promise you ill make you feel like the happiest guy alive”
“are you sure, OK show me what you’ve got baby”
I mounted her for another round, I swear this girl is a killer.
Her waist is to die for, but no matter what, she can never replace my Leah.
VALENTINE POV
I had the best moment with Leah, from the kiss, I realized that indeed she had something somewhere for me, she’s just in denial but very soon she will realize.
I was on my way back to my hostel before I sighted Pamela coming my way,
she was one of those SS3 students that was so full of herself, she was just a rich spoilt brat,
I even heard that more than half of the her mates had already slept with her.
I noticed she was coming my way so I quickened my pace but she caught up with me.
“Hey Valentine or whatever they call you, stop trying to get away from me, just listen to what I’m about to tell you and give me feedback by tomorrow. She said drawing my attention.
I’m aware you have feelings for Leah and I know how much you would like to make her your girlfriend,
just like you, I have feelings for Eric her boyfriend,
you maybe wondering how I got to know about that but I’ll spare you the reasoning,
Eric works at one of the Cyber Cafe my dad owns and I’ve been admiring him for a long time now,
I was surprised when I started seeing him in school, I did some investigations and I found out he was dating your best friend Leah.
I want him, and I know you also want Leah, let’s work together and achieve our aim.
This is a great offer I expect you to jump at, so think about it and get back to me as soon as possible”
With that she she left chewing her gum noisily and swaying her hips in the most provocative way I’ve ever seen.
