Falling in love

Just that same thing Maxwell was trying to avoid was what finally happened, she perceived the message he was sending, and because she was interested in him she had taken offence.

Joy is a good girl, Maxwell didn't want to be the reason she would regret meeting him, so he decided to not take the chance at all.

Immediately she left, he grabbed his phone to call Goodluck, he was worried about what Joy had said about Amanda, but he was pretending in front of her, but now that she was out of sight, he couldn't hold himself anymore, he wanted to know what was wrong with his sister.

He immediately dialed Goodluck's number and he was quick to let him know all that was happening, he was happy to know it was nothing serious, still he could hear worry from his friend and he could only smile.

He knew his friend was smitten by his sister but the way he was seeing it, it was too much, if anything bad happens to his sister, he won't be surprised if Goodluck would kill himself, he was sure taken by her.

As they ended the call because Amanda was opening her eyes slowly, Maxwell had called Joy, but she just wouldn't take his call, this was exactly what he was avoiding, he sent her several messages and after a while he would call hoping that he had read his messages and would pick but still her behaviour remained same.

He felt sad again and went into a deep thought.

He thought of constructing a message that would be nice for her, and make her happy, she might even call him back after it, so he started constructing one.

"Can you atleast be my friend and call me, I don't know why I am bothered that you seem angry with me, but if it is any consolation, I have been sad since you left, it seem you took away my laughter, can you bring it back?

After he sent that message, he smiley at himself, trying to sound romantic.

He is never good with words, he doesn't even know the right things to say, if he had been Goodluck, maybe she would not have left in anger.

He kept looking at his phone, waiting for a message from her.

It was as though he was waiting for an alert or a business contract he signed, he kept looking at the phone, and that seem to be when the service provider want to message him about one thing or the other.

He jumped up only to get a message from his service provider about wining millions of money just by playing a game.

He hissed at that, Bei, he had jumped from his position, thinking she is the one that had replied.

He hit his head, wondering why he was acting all weird.

"What is wrong with you, are you trying to get your heart broken again? He was asking himself, when he got to reply, he asked himself again.

You are over thinking, what if she doesn't even want you like that, and you are here, thinking she wants you? He shook his head and answered.

I know she wants me, she is already taken, she wants me, I am the one that is scared.

But why will you be scared, are you not the man?

Emotii have nothing to do with gender, any one can be scared, just as anyone can cry and smile.

Maxwell was battling with himself now.

Falling inlove, hmmmm love was a sad thing, it must be a bad feeling if bad things could only happen to those in love, love alone should withstand all inorder for the carriers of love to pass freely, but Love was only a Noun, an abstract Noun for that matter, so he could only talk about it, but can never see it and hold it or tell it what to do, he had been so inlove with her Angel that he even began to follow his teachings on how to behave and love only to get his heart broken.

What was she thinking, she had promised to be there for him no matter what and he was willing to wait even if he was finding the wait unbearable, but if it was something she wanted, he was ready to oblige it, but here he was watching, as his feelings were dashed and thrown out the window like a piece of trash, he wondered how people like Goodluck who had more experience than him in matters of the heart coped, they must be so strong because only a strong being, only someone with a strong heart, only someone who was physically, emotionally, spiritually and mentally strong would still stand tall after experiencing all of this.

After waiting for her to reply and nothing came, he nodded his head in grief.

So this is what it means to be inlove? But am I inlove again? He questions himself.

Goodluck must have really gone through a lot, because if he loves Amanda this much now, and I know he also loves her then, I must have been so terrible to break the up, Because, love is terrible.

I guess I am getting payback for what I did, but what he could not tell is, if he is crying because of his girlfriend, whom he is supposed to marry, of which he had made a move to propose to her, so that they could tie the knot, but she only rejected him, and broke up with him on top of it.

He had hoped, that he would introduce her to Amanda soon, but the way he is feeling about Joy now, he could not explain, if he is the one inlove with Joy, or if it is Joy that is inlove with him.

He decided to give Joy sometime, if she wasn't taking her calls maybe it was for the best and he shouldn't disturb her, so he lay on his bed facing the roof of his house and within minutes of staring at an empty space, he fell asleep.
