She wants him, not me. How foolish could I be?

Goodluck smiled, then got up from his seat, paced around the room for a while, then turned to face her, this time, he looked really serious and angry.

" I have told you times without number that you cannot see him, you cannot see anyone from that family either, they are the ones responsible for your problem'

He was shouting and Amanda didn't like it at all, she felt he was overeacting, she became angry and it was evident on his face.

"Why are you yelling? She asked, as she seem to hate the fact that he was raising his voice at her. Goodluck didn't know what to answer, but before he could apologize, he heard her speak again, this time, he felt his heart break.

"I want to be alone" That was enough to send him to his grave, he had to hold his heart, in a bit to gather it together.

Whenever he wants to believe that she was no longer in love with Dave but with him, she would bring up one thing to show him that, she still likes Dave. It was his discussion that brought her to the hospital, he wants to be there with her till she is discharged to go home, but here she is, indirectly asking him to go away.

What! He found his voice, shaking his head, his hands in his pocket, he brought it out, wiped his sweat, then he looked at her again, with those eyes, that didn't look as commanding as it used to be, they look red, as if he is about to cry.

Are you asking me to leave? He asked her, getting even angrier.

The way he was feeling at that time, he haven't felt such before.

His heart was racing, from fear, that she would tell him bluntly, that he should leave.

She didn't answer, but her silence answered it all, she didn't look at him, she looked away and nodded her head.

Goodluck looked at her again to be sure she was asking him to go, he felt pained, his heart was broken, he couldn't hide his anger anymore. He raised his voice, but he could only hear a painful sound, he didn't have anything to say, or he didn't know what to say. He swallowed hard, even he could feel his Adams Apple, while he swallowed, he raised his head up, as of trying to send back tears, then he calmed down, found his voice, then turned to speak to her.

"They will hurt you again and then I won't be available to catch you when you fall" He was really hurt, even his voice, sounded like he would break down, he didn't spend another minute, he turned to leave.

Amanda looked his way, but she was met by his retreating figure, he was angry. Angry, Goodluck looks so angry and she just couldn't take back her words, she really didn't want them to fight, she also didn't want him to go.

It was too late to change her mind, too late to change his mind too, he was already out, she tried to call him back, but her voice came out as a whisper.

Goodluck please wait! She could hardly even hear herself, how then, is she thinking that he would hear her, when she is sure, he would be feeling used and heartbroken.

"What is wrong with me? She asked herself, maybe she should get herself checked, or her brain checked.

She really couldn't tell what was wrong with her and why it seemed she wanted to be around Dave more than Goodluck. She was inlove with Goodluck not Dave so why was she feeling the way she was feeling at the time, she needed to talk to someone, someone that would be truthful to her, she couldn't think of anyother person to call other than her brother's new girlfriend.

She would be the one to tell her the truth, then she decided to take her mind off things, knowing that, her fight with Goodluck couldn't be serious, she should think of something else. They have always had their moments, and they always end up sorting themselves out.

She is pregnant, and she knows that Goodluck would nit just abandon her like that, but maybe he really should take a break, from protecting her so much.

She remembered Joy and her brother, she was happy for them, she doesn't know if will be fighting the way she and Goodluck fight almost all the time.

The thought of Joy being intimate with her brother brought smile to her eyes, she was happy her brother was happy now, she never met the girl that broke her brother's heart, but she was also not interested in meeting her, for her to be bold enough to break someone after molding them, she must be so heartless.

Goodluck didn't leave immediately, he didn't want to, he sat inside his car and was watching the entrance to the hospital, contemplating if he should go back inside.

"Why was she acting strangely towards me, is she inlove with him?

He asked himself but didn't want to believe that all they shared was a mere infatuation, it had been there from her teen, he saw it and knew it couldn't be anything less than what he also felt, but then he snapped out of his thought when a familiar figure walked in through the door he was staring at. Dave was back, she had probably called him to come after telling him to go, he felt terrible.

She wanted Dave not him.

"She wants him, and here I am thinking we had something. How foolish I am". He cursed.

What was he thinking, she had probably had more fun time with him, maybe she wasn't as lonely as he had believed, maybe Dave was better than him, he shook his head and drove off with the resolution never to come back to her unless she wanted him to and when that happens, he was going to give her his terms and conditions.
