I silently watched him with my hands folded as several thoughts kept running through my mind.
He turned and our eyes met, My breath itched as we silently listened to the melodious sound of the heavy down pour outside.
I exhaled.
“Okay Lexy, I will hear what you have to say but you have not answer my second question”
“How then did you know my house?” I gently sat  back on the bed beside creating a little space between us.
“I followed you unnoticed this afternoon, and…..”
He turned away
“What? You followed me? For how long have you been stalking me?” I shrieked.
“Calm down Kelsi, calm down it is just today, I followed you. I know fully well it is only in my dreams I will be able to know where you live, so I have no choice than to wait at the junction of your street.”
I heaved a sigh, “okay so?”
He cleared his throat…… “Kelsi’ I know you are mad at me, I have been acting foolishly for a long time and have hurt you alot. Please forgive me’
soft gaze held my surprised one holding my hands tightly.
I blinked.  “No! Lexy will not pull another stunt on me again! I won’t fall for his sweet words, Not anymore”
I gently pulled my hands away from his.
” Lexy if this is what you came here for, to pull a stunt again and make me a laughing stock in class, while toying with my sanity and emotion? Please leave here now right now”
Remembering all I had pass through because of him made anger surge through my vein, and tears sting my eyelids.
He stood up from the bed, “Kelsi’ iam not playing pranks here, Iam being sincerely begging you”
“I know you have the feeling that iam messing with your head, but iam not. You have to believe me, please” He begged softly.
I turned and saw he was all serious and sincere
I blinked back the tears trying to come out of my eyes.
“No Lexy, iam not going to believe any single word from you, not today not soon, you have to leave now”.
I opened the door refusing to meet his gaze, with a hard tone ‘”please leave”
He sighed.
“I get it Kelsi, you have every right to be mad at me, it was all my fault after what happened in a school yesterday I couldn’t stop thinking about everything I have done, I deserve more than how you are treating me now. He wiped the lone tears that made it’s way down his cheek, I wanted to hug him tight, to tell him not to apologise again.
But he is a douchebag! I will not be his prey again.
“Delvin is right, I have been a douchebag, I use Anita as a means to distract myself from you. I have ended everything with her today because I don’t feel anything for her the way I do for you.
I was jealous! You were closer to delvin.
I have loved you the very first day I came to school and saw you sitting at the back”. His warm gaze met mine.
I gulped turned Starring at him intently.
Is it really Lexy ideh saying all these?
My mind became blank that moment, different emotions surge through me.
I wanted to be happy and at thesame time wanted to cry, I wanted to slap him and thesame time hug him.
“If you want me to leave I will, but before I leave, can you give a honest reply to this question?”. He broke me from my thoughts.
‘What is it?” My soft voice barely a whisper came out.
“Do you love delvin?”
Do you really hate me?”
“Can you give me another chance?” He drew closer slowly.
“And why do you care?” I cocked my head as i tortured him with my question.
“Please Kelsi’ tell me”. His Misty eyes begged for my sincere answers.
