*_Chapter 26_*
*Oscar's POV*
I turned around and it was April.
"Hey", I said to her.
"And we meet at this same place again", she said and I laughed.
My brother looked at me expecting an introduction.
"Ohh. April, this is my big brother, Vincent. Vincent, this is my uhmm.....", I honestly didn't know what to call her. "This is my friend, April", I said to him and he gave me the teasing look.
"No, no, no, you got it all wrong. This is not that friend, she's the friend's best friend", I said and he was confused and she was also confused.
"You know what? Just shake hands", I said in frustration and Vincent stretched his hand out to April and she shook his hand.🤝🏽
"I'll see you later then, and if you happen to see my best friend, tell her to call me😉", she said, winking and she left.
"Mmm, she's pretty. Now I see why you like her", Vincent said.
Oh Lord🤦🏽♂
"That's not her. That's her best friend. The lady we spoke about in the car is Natasha and April is her best friend", I said to him.
"Mmm, okay. I get it. April's still pretty though", Vincent said, smiling.
"Well, you should see Natasha then", I said, smiling.
"Oh, she's really got you falling really hard ", he said, faking a pity look and tapping me on my shoulder.
"Well, I said I've not fallen. So🤷🏽♂".
He kept on teasing me with Natasha and I kept on defending myself.
After shopping, we left to my sister's school.
*******
I went to Natasha's church with her today. She was supposed to come to my church today, but she said she couldn't because she had a program at church. So I had to go to her side and she'll come to mine next week.
"So can we invite our youth group president and vice president to come forward and give us a song ministration", the MC said and she stood up.
"You're the president?🤔" I asked her.
"I'm the vice president😌", she said and she left.
It was really nice to learn something new about her everyday.
When she got there, June also joined her and I was surprised.
They gave a short word and charged up the congregation and then they started singing.
I was really amazed when I heard her sing. I've heard her sing before, but she was mostly joking and laughing when singing.
This time, she was serious and her voice was really lovely. The choice of song was great. It really ministered to me.
I listened for a while and started getting goosebumps. The voice gave me chills.
"Oh God. Is this real? Am I actually falling for her?? I just got out of a relationship and it's not been long and I'm already feeling this way. Could this be real?
I was pulled out of my thoughts when I heard the congregation screaming. They were done with their ministration. She hugged June and smiled at him.
She was clearly still into him. I can't get myself hurt. I have to back out. Staying by Natasha is just going to get me hurt.
I might even be hindering her from getting back with June.
"Are you okay?" She said, taking her seat.
"Yeah, you did great", I said to her.
"Thank you. If this wasn't a church program, I would have pulled you on stage to sing too with your croaky voice", she said, laughing and I smiled.
When the service was over, she asked me to come with her for their youth meeting.
During the meeting, I was just lost in my thoughts. Seeing Nat and June talking and laughing was getting to me.
What really hurt me was when someone asked them if they were ever going to get back together and she didn't say anything, she just smiled.
I wanted to leave but I couldn't. I brought her to church, I had to take her back.
After the meeting we both left and got into my car and I drove off.
"Oscar, you're really quiet. Are you sure you're fine?" She asked.
"I'm fine", I said forcing a smile.
"Okay. Is your brother still in the country?" She asked.
"Yeah".
"Okay".
"So what do you think about the question you were asked at the meeting?" I asked her.
"What question?"
"About you and June".
"Mmm, I don't know. I can't tell. I've just been trusting God", she said.
"Mmm, so you'll be cool if he came back for you", I asked her.
"I can't tell. I was really mad at him, but I can't stay mad at him forever", she said and I nodded.
"But I'm not sure he'll come back. He's got Freda now. I've been hearing rumours about them a lot".
"Oh okay", I said and the whole ride was silent till we got to her house.
"Thank you Oscar for today. You're the best", she said and I smiled.
"I will see you tomorrow then", she said and she left.
I turned around and drove off.

*Natasha's POV*
"April, I've still not heard from him. It's been three days now", I said to April. We were both in my office and I was really worried about Oscar.
I've been calling and its always off. I went to his house and he's always not there.
I've tried his work place and his secretary always say he's not there.
I just hope this isn't June all over again. I can't deal with another rejection.
God please bring him back. I've fallen for him and I can't get hurt again.😭😭😔😔
