*_Chapter 27_*
*Oscar's POV*
"Oscar, it's time for you to leave. You can't keep doing this to yourself or to Natasha", Vincent said, waking me up from my sleep.
I went to my mum's house to pour out to Vincent her after the day I dropped Nat off.
"Argghh, that's why you won't me up from my sleep", I said in annoyance.
"You think sleeping will take away everything you have to deal with. You've got feelings for her. What's the big deal with that? Go and tell her, give her a chance. What if she's got feelings for you too".
"She's not. She's into her....."
"Keep telling yourself that. How will you know when you've not even asked her".
"I did!! and all she said made me realize that she's got feelings for him".
"Did you ask her if she still had feelings for him?"
"Haven't you been hearing what I've been saying".
"You asked her exactly that and she said yeah?"
"Not exactly that but....".
"What's wrong with you Oscar? What if she has feelings for you and did this to her. Ignoring her for three days. How do you want her to feel. She might be hurting. Why am I even hiding this. She's hurting. I've been in contact with April and she's been asking of your whereabouts and I always have to lie. She said Tasha is worried sick and she's hurting. Did you hear me Oscar, she's hurting"Vincent yelled.
"You're just manipulating me".
"Oh God, what's wrong with this boy? Aren't you listening?" He said in frustration.
"She's hurting"?
"She is. Go and talk to her!!"
"Alright, alright. I'll go to her place tomorrow".
"Why not now?"
"It's already late"
"7 is late?"
"Alright, I'm going", I said, getting up and going to the washroom to ease myself and take a cold shower.
*Natasha's POV*
I was in my room, trying to sort out things and when I heard the sound of Oscar's car.
I quickly rushed to my window side and it was him. He just pulled over at our drive way.
I wanted to rush out quickly and hug him but no, I can't do that.
The last time I did that, I lost my fiance.
So, I just sat on my bed and waited for him to press the bell.
Within some few seconds, the door bell went off and I just sat there, not moving an inch.
He went MIA for three days and now does he think that I'll just rush to him with open arms. No way.
The door bell went off again and I still sat on my bed.
"Tasha, can't you hear the door bell? Go and see who it is", my mum yelled from her room and then I just had to go.
When I opened the door, he smiled and I kept a straight face.
"Hey", he said and I ignored him.
"Nat, I know what I did was wrong and I'm very sorry", he said and I still ignored him.
"Can I atleast come in and explain what happened"?
"No, let's talk outside", I said to him and I stepped out.
"I'll ask the questions and you'll answer", I said to him and he nodded.
"Who am I to you?" I asked him.
"A friend. A very good friend", he said.
"How often do we hang out?"
"Almost everyday"
"Where were you for the past three days?"
"In my mum's house but I went to work too".
"So if I'm your friend and we hang out almost everyday why did you go to your mum's place and decide to switch off your phone and even tell your secretary to lie to me about your whereabouts", I asked, angrily. He was about to talk and I cut him.
"Do you know how worried and hurt I was. Why do you guys just do that. And you know that's what June did to me and you still did the same thing. What reason could you have? Oh let me guess. You also went to pray to be sure that I was fit to be your friend"😑😑
"Nat, it's not that. I don't know how to explain it to you. I was just..."
"Doing what you felt like doing", I said, cutting in. "I'm really tired of getting hurt. For the past few weeks, you've always made me happy and now you just turned it upside down. I don't get it. Why do you all do that? "
"Nat just listen to me, I...." he tried saying and I interrupted him again.
"I don't think you... "
"I'm in love with you, Nat!" He said and I was glued to where I was standing. I couldn't move or say anything.
"I started falling for you really hard and it freaked me out because it felt so sudden. I was also scared that you were still into June. You both seemed happy at church the last time and I couldn't take it, so I just had to stay away from you to prevent myself from hurting. I know I shouldn't have done that. I'm your friend, Nat and you didn't deserve what I did. I'm very sorry, please forgive me. I promise not to do that again", he said.
I just stood there. I couldn't say anything. I didn't know what to say. I was just speechless.
"You don't have to say anything. You can take your time and forgive me when you want to. I shouldn't have even bombarded you with these feelings thing, but I just had to explain why I was away. I'll take me leave now, and I'll call you tomorrow and please pick up", he said and he was about to leave. I couldn't let him go without letting him how I feel too.
"I love you too, Oscar", I said and he stopped in his tracks.
He was also speechless.
"I also started catching feelings and I felt that you were still into Mabel, but that didn't pull me back, I was still at your side as your friend".
"I'm so sorry, Nat", he said and he hugged me really tight and I hugged him back.
We stood there for sometime before he released his grip of me and he started laughing.
"We're just two idiots", he said laughing and I hit him.
"I'm not an idiot. I didn't run away to hide from my feelings. You did", I said, rolling my eyes.
"Okay, you got me just today. I accept", he said and we both laughed.
"So, do we have to do the whole boy friend, girlfriend thing. Do I have to ask you to be my girlfriend?" He asked and I glared at him.
"You're so not romantic. How can you ask me that question?"🙄🙄
"I'm sorry Ma'am. So, Natasha, will you love to go out with me on a date tomorrow evening as my girlfriend?"😌😌
So unromantic🙄🙄
"Yes Oscar, I'll love to", I said and he hugged me lifted me up.
"I love you Nat".
"I love you too, Oscar".

*_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.😭😭😔😔
