*_Chapter 10_*
*Oscar's POV🧑🏽*
"Monica, what do you want from me? I really want to know?" I asked her and she stared at me for a while.
"Your love and attention", she said.
"But I used to give you that before you became this person".
"Not as a sister. Something more", she said and Mabel tried cutting in but I shut her up.
"You'll have your time to talk. Right now, Monica is on the floor", I said to Mabel and she kept quiet.
"Something more? But when I came into your life, you made me your brother. So why do you want more now?"
"I called you my brother so that I won't have to fall for you. You know I was still into my ex and I was still trying to get him back. So having you there would have spoilt things. I didn't want to push you away too because I was fond of you, so I made you my 'brother' but it didn't work, I eventually fell for you ".
"Mmm, I see. So you fell for me right after I fell for your sister"?
"No, I started liking you before that. And every time I tried telling you, you used that opportunity to talk about Mabel, so I never got the chance".
"Okay, we can't do anything about it right now. It's too late. Why won't you just accept that and let your sister enjoy her love life? Don't you love her?" I asked and she started tearing up. I really wanted to roll my eyes.
"I love her Oscar, but she knew that I had feelings for you, she's my sister, she should see these things, but she just let herself get close to you".
"I really need to talk right now, Oscar", Mabel said.
"Be patient, you'll have your time", I said to her.
I honestly didn't know that Monica had feelings for me and didn't also know that Mabel knew about it. But it's too late now. She has to move on.
"Okay, so you want me to leave Mabel and love you? You know love doesn't work like that. I've loved Mabel for three years now and all the things you're saying and doing won't change that, you'll end up hurting yourself every day. You have to move on Monica. I care about you a lot and I'll love to see you become a better person. If you really love your sister, you have to forget whatever happened and put her feelings before yours. What you're doing to her is really hurting her and changing her. Can't you see it? Please stop this. If your parents even find out about this, they'll be disappointed. Please Monica", I said to her.
She wiped off her tears and nodded.
"I've heard you, Oscar. I'll stop this, thank you for still caring about me, I really appreciate it", she said still wiping her tears off and I nodded.
"Mabel, do you have anything to say?" I asked her and she shook her head.
"Mabel, I'm really sorry for all the trouble I've caused. I promise to stay away", Monica said to her sister.
"I'm sorry too, Monica. I saw that you were hurting and I did nothing about it. I'm really sorry. I hope and pray that you find someone who truly loves you", Mabel said to her sister and she smiled.
"Okay, now that you're both fine, can we call it a night", I said to them and they nodded.
"Goodnight Monica", I said hugging her.
"Goodnight", she said.
"Goodnight baby", Mabel said, hugging me and I pecked her on her cheek.
"Goodnight, we'll talk tomorrow", I said to her.
When they both left, I went to my room and dived on my bed.
Thank you Jesus. I won't have been able to do this without you, I said, smiling.
I got off my bed, had my shower and before I went to bed, I sent Natasha a mail.
'Thank you Nat. I've sorted out things with Monica and I think she'll back off. One down, two to go. Thank you so much. Have a goodnight'
I sent it to her and then I slept off.
*Natasha's POV*
For a week now, I've not spoken to June and it's on me. He's been trying to reach me, but I always ignore him. He's come to my workplace numerous times, but I've always been busy.
I didn't want to talk to him after what he did the other time.
What pissed me off more was the fact that he didn't know what he did. He always sent a text or voicemail asking me what my problem was.
I also heard that Freda was now a member of our church and that she's been helping him out in church. Wow, that's just great.
April and I were are the grocery shop and she was just feeding me with information concerning the new guy in her life.
The guy seemed like a good person. I was really happy for her so I didn't want to kill her happiness by telling her what was going on in my life, but she being who she is, she got me to speak.
"How dare he do that?" She said angrily.
"If he wasn't a man of God, I would have rained insults on him. Ahh, is he okay? And you kept quiet about this? Tasha it's time to stand up and talk and take actions too", she said.
I was about to talk but I heard someone call my name and I turned around.
"Hey Oscar, right?" I said to him.
"Yeah", he said smiling and walking up to me.
"How are you?" I asked.
"I'm fine. You?"
"I'm awesome. I can see you're shopping", I said to him.
"Yeah, I have to fill my fridge".
"Oh okay", I said and April cleared her throat.
"Oh. April this is Oscar. Oscar this is April", I said to them and he shook her hand.
"I''ll leave you two then", he said and he left.
"Mmm, who was that? He's so gorgeous", April asked.
"Oh, he's one of my patients", I said.
"Mmm, I think I have to work with you to see cute guys like this everyday", she said and I hit her on the head.
She kept on talking about Oscar's look and I was just laughing.
My smile and laugh was cut short when I saw June and Freda walk into the store.
