Chapter 2

Me: Hey Adrian

Guy 2: Am Luca

Me: Hi Luca

Luca: So tell us about you

Me: What do you want to know

Luca: Like where are you from and how old you are.

Before I could answer back Adrian stopped me.

Adrian: You can tell us all about you later for now, we need to get you fed. Am sure you haven't eaten yet as it is just noon.

Me: That's true, thank you Adrian.

As Adrian and Luca led the way all I could do was look around the place and I noticed that there's alot of trees which makes the whole place to have a natural look of nature. I can't help but love it.

Moments later

Wow there house is really nice but I can't show or say it otherwise they will think less of me. I have already greeted everyone that's around but am still nervous, this shouldn't worry me, right?! Am going to get used to them with time this is how it goes for every first.

Adrian: Here's your food, what would you like to drink?!

Me: Anything not water or wine because I don't drink.

Adrian: Right, no one in our family drinks either. Be right back.

How does he expect me to eat all this food. When nervous I barely eat, I better tell him because I hate wasting food.

Adrian: Here, fruit juice. I hope this is ok?!

Me: Sure it is, thanks. Aaah I meant to tell you that uuh this food is alot so maybe I could get a smaller plate if it's ok?!

Adrian: Sure I can do that for you, give me a second.

Even though uncle is rich and they have servants he taught his children to do smaller things for themselves, impressive. Just like dad he hates spoiling kids to the maximum. I wonder why they are so much alike.

In the evening

Well Adrian told me to always have my breakfast, lunch and supper at his home. I better get ready after work and then go.

Adrian: Hey it's getting late, I didn't see you at home so I came to pick you up incase you forgot the way there.

Me: Come on the way to your home is so simple that I could walk there blindfolded. Though thanks for being thoughtful these dogs around are scary.

Adrian: Nah you are just new around but you will get used to them.

Me: Right, but why didn't I see any during day

Adrian: Oh that, they always lock them up during day because of patients.

Me: Mmmh am done, let's go. I guess I should close the lab already.

Adrian: Mmmh.

Am really exhausted I have waited for three hours and neither has uncle or his wife arrived. Am really sleepy, I know it's rude to go without saying hi to any of them because am their responsibility now but I can barely think straight. I will see them tomorrow, hope they don't get offended and think that am ungrateful.

Me: Guys gudnyt, thanks for the meal.

Adrian told me that these dogs are harmless I shouldn't be afraid I learned from movies that animals can sense when people are scared. Crap they are following me, focus where you are going and don't be scared.

Days later

Till now I haven't seen uncle's wife but at least I have seen uncle and talked to him for every morning he does rounds in wards at the hospital.

The thing I love nowadays is waking up in the middle of the night and watch the view down the hill, car lights, few lights from far away houses they are so beautiful for they look like stars. In this moment that's when I start thinking about him. My greatest crush Albert, I think about him alot lately sometimes my imaginations feel so real I end up getting goosebumps all over my skin. Like yesterday, I don't know what went into me while watching the sunset through the window, I could swear I felt his hands on me. I think am going to go crazy if this keeps going on, maybe it's high time I face my feelings towards him hopefully I will get some closure.

Honestly I would like for him to respond to my feelings positively but I ain't stupid. The last time we saw each other was four years back and it's not like we were a thing even back then. Obviously he has someone in his life now, so what am looking for in telling him about my feelings is closure, mmmh just closure.

Damn I deleted his number, maybe my bestie has it. Let me text him and check.

Me: Sup Carl, do you have Albert's number?!

Carl: Him again?! Am really tired ,can't you move on from him. Besides I don't talk to him anymore because he became arrogant. What do you want his number for anyway?!

Me: Come on you guys were close is highschool, can't you work on your differences!? well I think he was arrogant way back in highschool too. And I wonder why you only see it now. There's something I want to ask him.

Carl: Whatever I will send you his contacts when I get it because I nolonger have it either.

Me: Thanks bestie, you are the best. Love you.

Carl: Love you more bunny. Be careful

Me: Mmmh, I will bye

A week later

It's been a week since I poured my heart out to Albert through a long letter. I clearly wrote that I didn't want to change anything just wanted for him to know how I felt towards him. Shouldn't he be over the shock by now and at least said something to me, this suspense is killing me.

I will check later in the evening if he has replied if he hasn't I promise not to check anymore it's like I keep torturing myself.

Evening

It's time, I really pray from the bottom of my heart that I find your reply Albert. Just like in drama movies, as I was counting to three before I could open my eyes, ding. There was Albert's message thump thump, thump thump,thump thump oh my heart.
