Chapter 59

When they got to where Dele parked his car, he opened the door for Amaka, and he drove her home.

"Dele what exactly do you want from me?" Amaka asked, as they got to her gate.

"I'm not going to do the dance Amaka. I like you a whole lot, and would love to date you. I'm not dating to date. I'm dating to find the one"

"And you think I'm the one? You think I'm that special someone? Because if you do, then, I think you are clearly mistaken"

"And why is that Amaka? Why do you think I'm mistaken if I think you are the one?"

"There is no such thing as the one, besides Dele, I can't give you what you want, I'm damaged goods, I'm not capable of loving anymore"

"And I still want you regardless, I don't care, if you are a brand new product or not, all I care about is you, and if you come damaged, then I'm willing to have you, as you are"

"You don't give up, do you?"

"Nope, it's not in my DNA, I don't know how to give up. Amaka please just give us a chance"

"What if it doesn't work out? What happens to us? Dele you are Rayford's friend, so that means we will always run into each other, because Jane is my friend. Look how awkward it was, when we had a one nightstand with each other, I don't want go down that lane again''

"What if it works out?"

Amaka thought about what Dele said, she was only thinking of the downside. Dating Dele might actually turn out to be a beautiful experience, and she might never find out, if she keeps pushing him away, and don't give him a chance.

"Alright, let's do it then"

"Is that a yes to you being my girlfriend?"

"Let's not get ahead of ourselves, let's just take things slow, and see how it goes"

"Totally fine by me, does that mean I can now give you that massage?" He winked at her, showing off those cute dimples of his.

"Don't push your luck" Amaka got down from the car and walked into her compound. While Dele sat in his car smiling, he just crossed the first hurdle, and knew it wouldn't take time before he makes Amaka fall in love with him. Patience was all he needed, and he had enough where Amaka was concerned.

__________

Dele: How was your night?

Amaka: It was fine, how was yours?

It was 6:am, and Amaka was lying on her bed, chatting with Dele, something they always do very often, when they weren't around each other.

Dele: it was cold, because you weren't with me

Amaka: don't you have a blanket?

Dele: blankets don't talk.

Amaka: then get a radio, and place it under the blanket, you automatically have a talking blanket

Dele: very funny, what are your plans for the day?

Amaka: nothing unusual, do my laundry, and then binge watch on a series I'm following on Netflix.

Dele: sounds cool, would you mind accompanying for furniture shopping, later this afternoon? I recently got a new apartment, and I would need a second opinion in choosing it's furniture. And I would like you to come with me, please?

Amaka: hmmmmmmm, no problem, but you would have to pay for my services though.

Dele: no problem, just name your price.

Amaka: how about, we start with you making me, that spaghetti bolognese you made for me the last time I was at your place?

Dele: Just that?

Amaka: let's start with that first, I will let you know the rest later.

Dele: consider it done

Amaka: good, then you have yourself a deal

Dele: I will come pick you up by 12pm?

Amaka: fine by me

Dele: see you then

Amaka: Bye.

As Amaka ended her chat with Dele, she laid on her bed facing the ceiling. What is she doing? She promised herself she was going to guard her heart from falling in love with Dele, but here she is, doing the exact opposite. It's been two weeks since she agreed to start something with Dele, and with each passing day she spends with him, she keeps falling deeper and deeper for him.

This was not the plan Amaka, you can't allow yourself to fall for this guy, you have a secret that can ruin your relationship remember? Amaka could hear her subconscious part telling her.

But what if Dele wouldn't mind when he gets to know about it? You shouldn't deprive yourself of the chance to love, because of fear of the unknown. Her other subconscious part said to her.

Amaka rolled on her stomach, burying her face in her pillow. What was she going to do? Her feelings were already getting in the way of her reasoning, and her fondness for Dele, was growing more than she would want it to.

She decided to call Jane, at least she has been through something similar, and would advise her what to do.

She checked the time, it was still quite early to call someone, especially someone who was on a honeymoon, but Jane wasn't just any person, she was definitely going to pick Amaka's call, if she doesn't want trouble.

"Hello" came Jane's sweet voice.

"My honeymooning friend, hope I didn't wake you?"

"Not really, what's up"

"Can we talk?"

"Yes sure" Jane looked at a sleeping Rayford, and decided to go the balcony instead, to avoid waking him up.

"Jane I'm in trouble..." Amaka wailed.

"What happened?" Jane asked concerned.

"I'm falling for Dele, oh Jane what am I going to do?"

"Is that the trouble you are in? Here I was thinking; something bad had happened to you"

"Is this not enough trouble? Or didn't you hear what I said?"

"I heard you Amaka, and I think it's a good thing that you are falling for Dele, you are falling in love my friend"

"How is that a good thing? I can't fall for that guy Jane, he is not good for me and you know it"
