Chapter 73: Chapter 73

Angel look at him, did he just say leaving him? What does that mean? She was only going to do the laundry, downstairs, she is tired of staying indoors and having no one to talk to, she just want to see the light of day, not having anyone to talk to, and spending all her day in a room, with no one to talk to its tiring.

Come on Angel, answer me. His voice was more demanding.

Soldier, I am not going anywhere, I am only going to the laundry. Angel said, giving him a small smile, it's difficult for her to smile at him, she can't understand herself, she has been having erotic dreams about him, and that is the reason she too is avoiding him like a plague, Jesse is not only one having a sleepless night.

Even at that, Jesse is doubting that she had something else at the back of her mind, with a slight jerk, Jesse pulled Angel into his embrace.

Now, tell me, what is on your mind, I know you are mad at me, so spill? She couldn't look at his face, Jesse cupped her face, causing her to face him, she raised her head, and their eyes meet.

Don't you have where to go? Angel asked him.

I am not leaving until I get answers to my questions, why are you avoiding me? Angel gives another fake smile.

I am not avoiding you, it's just that, I just want to be alone, that change of hormones in a woman is the issue, sorry if you take it the wrong way.

Oh! Jesse said, while his grip loosen on his hand.

If there is nothing else, I will love to be excuse. Jesse nodded, taking a step from her, and he turned from her gaze, Angel felt sad, she wanted to tell him that she is in love with him, she wanted to kiss him and tell him to be her boyfriend, but that sound hilarious, which girl tells a boy that she loves him and want him to be her boyfriend.

I am depriving you of your girlfriend? He stopped and looked at her, hearing her questions break his heart, he had a lot of girlfriends but no one had left him hopeless and hanging as this girl in front of him had done, she is driving him nut and sending untold feelings into his body and he had no idea how to stop it.

Do you think you are?

Go on and tell Angel. That Angel sounds so nice in his mouth that she wishes to hear him call her every day of his life but it's better not to dream of something that may not come true.

How am I supposed to know? She stutters, the proximity is causing all her strength to drill from her body.

Come on, please tell me, I need to know. Jesse finds himself stuttering like Angel, he doesn't know what is happening to his body, yet his rooted legs move slowly covering the little space that was created between them as a result of her moving away from her.

What do you even want me to say? Angel asked.

I only want you to tell me, that you are depriving me of other girls.

Jesse's words left her confused, she raised her eyes and look at him, two times, he had said something like wanting more than just someone sharing the same roof with him, he wanted to connect with her on a different level like he wanted more than friendship but her heart.

Why will I deprive you of other girls? I am only a freeloader in your house, I am nothing but a stranger to you, if you want to throw me from your house, this very minute, I will still have no say, all you need do is asked me to stay or leave.

What if I want you to tell me, what your heart is telling you? If your heart wants me to ask you to stay or do you want me to show you the door?

Angel look at him, the man is playing a mind game with her, if he was to open her heart to look at what is engrave inside, then her heart would have screamed for him to suck on her neck where his eyes is staring out, and leave hickeys everywhere to show that she belongs to him.

Jesse is not a patient man, yet he is slow to his desire, slow to his want, he wouldn't had think twice if the young woman in front of him, isn't suffering from amnesia, fear that she had had someone she is in love, someone that couldn't stop thinking about, he doesn't want to put his heart on the line. Although he is a soldier, he is human, he too got a heart and he might not be able to take it if the woman he loves is madly in love with someone else.

It doesn't matter what my heart wants, so it's more or less useless. Angel pause, she looks at him and then turned her gaze on him.

You should go, I am sure, those soldiers are waiting for you, some days, we go our separate ways when I found my memory but one thing is for sure, I will never forget you, you were my everything when I have nothing.

Is it that difficult to admit, what your heart says? Jesse raised her head with his finger, for their eyes to be locked, Angel found herself staring at his lips, she wanted their lips to meet, but scared that, she might hurt him, what if she regain her memory and realized that she is married?

Holy shit! When the thought of her being married to someone, ever since, she had thought that she might have a boyfriend and now someone else wife, how ridiculous had she become? She turned around and run into the room, she want to hide from Jesse, she doesn't want to hurt him. Even if she tries to hide from him, she knows that she will never be able to hide from him. How stubborn did she become, she was supposed to close the door behind her, when she entered the room yet she didn't she didn't know what had possessed her. Maybe she was hoping that he will follow her.

The sound of footsteps follow that wasn't hers, she is facing the wall right now with her face in her palm, and his hand was right on her waist, and she felt it. And to think that she wears are just scanty, she wore only a short gown with her undies, she is crazy, was she about to go out with these clothes that cover just her bum?

Stop avoiding me, it's frustrating
