Chris's p.o.v
" are you seriously doing this ? " I ask christy for an umpteenth time as she nodded her head.she was so determined to go up to that stage and right now i want to support her idea
I watch her beam with smiles as she introduces her name when the m.c had asked her to
" tiana davids!!! "She answered happily and i couldn't help smile at her.she was beautiful, tough and yet fun..
" are you sure you can do this " he asked christy again and this time she strokes her imaginary bears as she replies
" well..I want to be a lady with a mind and I had already made up my mind to do this so to answer your question, you just would have to sit still and watch " she replied with a bold expression as everyone cheered and clapped while bringing out their phones to take videos. I smiled at her and she smiled back giving me a knowing look.
" Tiana..here you go " the m.c said handing her the microphone as everyone still cheered at her happily
" thank you guys for this opportunity am soo fudging thankful.." she said grinning happily
" well I'm dedicating this song to simi and falz and also..." she paused casting a glance at my direction
" ....to you too toby " she said softly as everyone's camera rested on my face to get a glimpse at her lucky dude...this sounds weird anyway my subconscious chuckled making me blow her a good luck kiss to which she chuckled lightly and the dj started the bit.she had started swinging her body to the rhythm. Shaking her head back and forth and allowing her braids to swing around as she started
Everybody seems to think that we be good together oh
Fuck!! I've heard tiana sing at the karaoke and it was awesome but then hearing her again got me so excited,her voice came out silkier and pure.she needed not to stress herself trying to imitate the artist cause she already sounded like her..everyone was cheering at her start off making her beam more widely as she continued
Everybody don talk say make you be my lover oh
But dey don't need to know if am your spec oh
I don't need need to know if i take your breath away
You don't need to know my wildest dreams
Maybe it is all just chemistry
Chorus
But i know ah oh
Kind of maybe really do like you
Maybe me and you we can try to
Do this love something
Maybe there's something eh
I know there's something
And I know you
Kind of maybe really do like me
Maybe i could be your baby
We should stop fronting
Maybe there's something
I know there's something
Christy gave me a side glance as I walked my way to the stage picking the microphone, she stared at me for a minute before giving me a shy smile as i came closer to her singing falz's verse
Bae I know say you you like me
Your heart skips anytime I say nice things
Maybe we dey shy since
Maybe faith don say we can't fight this
You dey draw me....you be fine artiste
We don push maybe we should try practice
We could go slow like say we jam traffic
If dem wan talk shii make we buy harpic
Wen you stepped right to my door
I dey wish I could hug that pinafore
With a neat swagger, with a kiss after but they say your boyfriend is a street fighter
Dat your smile from heaven ooh
You dey dodge trying to be careful ooh
We still going round circles oh
If we don't try we will never get to know
See as you fine
You shine from head to toe
Feelings they grow but you're scared to show
Mama sa fun me mama beru ooh
Every one was so excited including me as they all cheered happily. christy got back in line singing the chorus
But i know ah oh
Kind of maybe really do like you.....
She kept on grinning so widely and cute that she could make you forget your self and everything around you and just stare in awe of her.she made me laugh when she winked at me. That was one thing she never knew how to in as much as she didn't get it right, I found myself chuckling as I sang the verse 2 of falz's
But if I'm too motivated then stop me
I been dey feel love e dey costly
But i know say it's not the same in your company
And this feeling is killing me softly
Me I didn't want to be your roomie
But everybody seems to wanna talk to me
Even if me and you make the worst couple
If we no date woh....e go cause trouble
Christy glanced at me for a second and I swear I could see her wipe a tear that fell across her cheeks. And that minute I wanted to hold her close. I don't know how these feelings came to be maybe it's all just chemistry
I know I said I wanted to be friends oh
The truth be say dat one na pretend oh
Maybe we can start again
Forget wetin I tell you then
Do you feel the chemistry
Chorus
But I know ah oh
Kind of maybe really do like you
Maybe me and you we can try to
Do this love something
Maybe there's something eh
And i know you. ........
She finished singing as everyone cheered including simi who came up to the stage giving christy a hug and taking countless pictures with her including the dj who had his mouth hung open throught christy singing.I watched Christy giving almost everyone around her a fake smile. Right, I knew it was fake cause she had her lips like she forced them open and i didn't want to stay longer at the stage.christy's mood had changed everything and I knew that she didn't want me to leave. But dad, my dad was so over ambitious, he wanted me to come over to abroad and continue my high school so I get to go to college in the states and take over his " company " mum had wanted me to school in Nigeria
It was her idea cause she wanted me to experience how schooling in Nigeria felt like and albeit it was soo much fun that I just didn't want to leave anymore..meeting Jeremy and olatunde my besties at melviks high together with christy's set of friends and Christy herself made my life at Melviks some kind of bliss
Now he wants me back, but just leaving high school with all the life I had here wasn't going to ever get easy
A girl on a pretty red dress came around as she caressed her hands around my shoulder making me groan
" can you please leave me alone " I say coldly as she smiles sweetly with her red lipstick plastered on her lips
" awwn...I just wanted to tell you that you were awesome on stage " she said cooeing bringing her lips to my as I push her away roughly
" get the fuck outta my way " I yell at her and grabbing a cup of wine from the butter who passed, i gulped the contents down in a flash making my way out of the club without sparing a glance at the girl on the red dress who stood shocked at my mood..
#####
The night clouds was getting darker and lightning could be seen flashing across the sky.little drops of rain were already wetting the ground, Christy wasn't yet out of the club.the last time i checked on her which wasn't up to a second and a girl told me she was in the restroom. I was ready to wait the whole night for christy cause it was obvious she wasn't ready to face me
A girl passed by walking quickly without sparing me a look..okay that wasn't any type of girl but that was...
" Christy!" I called as she stopped abruptly as if contemplating whether to talk to me. Not until i moved closer to her
" hey..!!" I say as she smiles nervously at me
" hi..chris! Thanks for tonight but i really gotta go now " she says all at once turning to go when i pull her back
" are you just going to leave like that?" I ask as she turned to rest her gaze on me
" okay what ? I...I'm so thankful for tonight so what again Chris ? "She asked as her eyes grew cold
I bit my lips gently staring at her. " at least you should have looked for me and not leave on your own for crying out loud is enough danger for both teens to keep late nights here " I say as she scoffs
" well...I chose to keep late night right and now am so tired so just let me be " she said moving away
" tiana am sorry okay! "I call after her as she stops dead in her tracks " yeah I'm really messing up..we didn't have to end this way "
" just stop it Christopher ! "She yells a little...
We both stood under the rain allowing it to drip us wet but we didn't care whether we'd catch a cold or not but we just wanted to settle our feelings
I wanted to settle my feelings too
" stop what exactly ? "I ask her coming closer to her as she backs a way
" stop making me create hurtful memories okay...we aren't a couple to say and I don't know if that'll ever work infact I don't see that happening chris !" She wails trying to mask her voice which had already started releasing out sharp sobs
" I can't make you stay so stop it now.besides I'm the only one who's just in this feeling yeah! So why don't we end it? No why can't I end it " she sobs loudly as the rain continued pouring down hard
" let me tell you why you can't."I start off calmly " it's because I too feel the same way tiana " I sincerely felt the same way and right now watching Christy cry wasn't something i ever wanted gosh!! She was too emotional
" I had fun today yeah, I laughed sincerely today and I ran with you, played, sang together and danced together tiana I wouldn't do this with any random girl but you're special tiana and that's all that matters " I say and watched her groan taking her hair backwards as she gulps. I take careful steps to her.this time she didn't move back and it made me happy
" but chris after this what else? I mean this is just a high school relationship right and so what's going happen next? "She asked and when i don't reply she heaves
" yeah right!!!! I always knew this whole thing was just so pointless anyway...goodnight chris " she says dejectedly turning once again to move away and this time i quickly pulled her hands back drawing her closer to me. So much that our bodies were just an inch apart and we could hear our heartbeats, while her eyes bored into mine
" after this we still are going to be together tiana..even if it means me waiting for you.I will do it tiana " I say and she gulps down hard as her eyes flickered from my eyes to my lips
" you are special, and I don't think I'd find someone like you tiana.."
" toby it's never going to work " she says softly as she shook her head
" do you trust me ? " I ask her as she looks away while she nods slowly
" I...I do " she answers hesitantly at first then bringing her eyes to meet mine she answers more boldly
" I trust you toby..." I didn't let the words fall out finish on her lips when I crash my lips on her's which tasted so fruity. At first she didn't kiss me back, like she was surprised and after some seconds of my lips on her's, she parted her lips allowing me to gain access to her's as we boboth kissed each other under the rain. I pulled away reluctantly as both of us panted slowly, bringing her eyes to meet mine as my voice came out raspy
" then wait for me " I say hoarsly as she nods biting her lower lips whispering
" ....I trust you toby " she says qu and once again closing the gap between us.
