LOVE AT FIRST SITE

CHAPTER 9

Truth is at some point in our lives we need time to ourselves and I mean alot of it, there's so much negligence when it comes to understanding ourselves and I think before you ever get closer to people you need to know you first,what you love and what you don't,what you offer and what you're not able to... that allows you to make the right decisions in life...

~unknown~

The moment I entered the house mum was at the couch still waiting for me , I passed her and entered my room without saying a word , I changed into my nightdress and just laid on my bed.

This is the moment I take the advice I gave Kayla. I should have known he'll be leaving the country the moment Kayla told me Bry is leaving.

The night felt longer than normal I mean he's leaving . I never thought there would be a day where I'd be in this situation, After being single for all those years then finding love and in a blink of an eye he'll be leaving. I thought love was easy but its not, trust me when I tell you this.

I kept tossing on my bed the whole night contemplating on whether to talk to him at that time , after battling in my head what was the right decision I decided to wait until morning when we'd meet.

Its now three in the morning but I can't find sleep, you ever been in a situation where you wanna sleep so bad but you can't get some, that's the situation I'm in.

I don't know how I slept but I did.

"This girl, Kendall, its past twelve get out of that bed before I drag you out myself"

My mums voice startled me from my short sleep, I opened one of my eye but closed it the instant it sensed light,

Mum was opening my window and curtains while lecturing me.

"Remember you are supposed to go to school today and that phone of yours has been ringing the whole morning , I'd check who it is if I were you"

The moment she mentioned my phone , I jumped out of my bed and took it from the drawer. She's right Kay, Bry and KB have been calling but KBs messages caught my eyes first.

Babe❤?: Please pick up my calls babe I need to tell you something its important please ,

I know you always wake up early so please just pick up I have an important thing to tell you ,

Fine, its like you don't wanna see me after lying you ain't mad but I get it . its sad that I'll be leaving without saying goodbye to you but if you change your mind find me at the fountain I'll be waiting but I'll be gone by five in the evening . I love you a lot babe, I hope we'll meet again and finish what we both started if we won't see each other today, dad booked an early flight. Goodbye.

"no, no, no this can't be, mum why didn't you wake me up early, "

And with that I ran to the bathroom took a shower real quick

"I thought you were up, maybe packing, but why are you in a hurry"

"Nothing mum, its just that I woke up late and I'm always the first one to wake up"

I was already out of the bathroom within a minute and wore sweatpants and a tshirt and was already out of the house.

"Kendall where the hell are you going, you haven't even eaten, come back here"

I heard mum yell in the house but I kept walking at the gate, I ran towards the fountain while trying to call KB, he picked on the first ring.

"Babe I thought you really are mad when you didn't pick my calls"

"No I'm not I'm on my way at the fountain will I find you there, say yes please"

He chuckled before answering

"Its not funny, just answer me,"

"Yeah, I'm still here I wanted to leave but I couldn't, I knew you'd show up"

"Okay, I'll be there, please don't leave"

I hanged up before he could answer and ran so fast on the direction where fountain is.

The minute i was at the fountain and spotted him I ran towards him and he did the same . He held me so tight in his embrace his cologne took away all the stress and sadness I was feeling, I would stay here forever if it were possible I still can't believe he'll be leaving in few hours and I had to keep all that at the back of my mind .

Thick tears started rolling down my cheeks and I wasn't able to wipe them away, his T-shirt was socking with my tears and he didn't care, I let go of him and he wiped away my tears with his thumb .

"Let's go sit at that bench"

I nodded and we started walking to the bench while holding hands, it felt safe.

We sat down in silence just embracing the silence and the view but one thing I knew was that I'll miss him so much, and just thinking about him hurts really bad. I looked at him and he was deep in thought but I couldn't decipher what he really was thinking .

"I thought I'll never step foot in the states after what happened back there"

He said now looking straight into my eyes and I just nodded to make him continue talking.

"But here I am just a few hours and we'll leaving, I thought dad promised us that , but he seems to have changed his mind and we have to do what he says"

I held his hands in mine for comfort he looked like he'll break down any minute.

"You can talk to me I'm a safe space I won't judge you, trust me, but then again if you don't feel like opening up its fine by me I understand"

"I know I can trust you but that's all I wanted to say, I'll tell you everything when I grow out of my cowardness"

"Its okay, I get you, maybe we can take a walk to make you feel better"

He smiled and we both stood up.

"Instead we can go at our house, and just chill"

"Yeah, sure that's a good idea"

We played some sad songs on the way and kept the silence at its fullest .

"Have you already enrolled in the US?"

I asked him to release the tension in the air

"Yeah, Dad did but I'm not sure which university"

"And you, when are you resuming school"

"Schools already resumed but I'm thinking of going tomorrow, now that there would be nothing left for me here except my family"

We came to a stop and as usual he opened my door for me

"I'll dead miss this place and all the memories we've made here"

We walked at the front door in silence the only noise that you could here are out footsteps and the clicking of the keys when he was struggling to open the door.

"s**t, the place is dusty I thought the woman I told to clean came today ."

I sneezed because of the dust.

"Maybe, she was caught up with other things or something"

"Maybe, but she should have informed me"

"Are you mad she didn't clean or because you'll be leaving in like three hours?"

I asked him but it kinda came out really harsh .

" I'm,,, I'm sorry "

He laughed nervously

"No its okay, I'm kinda worked up with all this traveling s**t, I wish we could just elope together"

Did he really want us to run away, wait,what?..

"Hey, I didn't want to make you nervous I was just saying"

I nodded my head, and he guided me to the couch.

"You know , when I bought this crib I thought dad would let me stay here , I guess I was wrong"

"Do you regret buying it "

He looked at my direction in silence and no emotion on his face and looked me straight in the eyes .

"Not a single day will I ever regret it"

"Can we not talk about all the drama that's going on, let's just enjoy each others company "

KB told me with a hint of disgust on his tongue, he really doesn't want to go.

Silence consumed the environment this whole time but it was relaxing and it felt good being with him until he broke it.

"I'm scared of leaving you here and you know being in a long distance relationship, "

I was avoiding this kind of topic but I guess we both have to face reality .

"It really sucks, I also don't know how to handle it"

I hint of tears was fighting to come out and I really tried to push it back but I failed miserably .

"Hey, you are crying"

KB wiped off my tears and just talked about different topics to cheer me up and they really worked .

"It's four thirty we have to get going before they start blowing up my phone with calls"

"You really are leaving "

I asked him feeling really down about it

He sighed and stood up and gave me his hand to help me stand .

"Uh, I wish all this was a nightmare but I'm really leaving baby"

He held the sides of my head with both his hands and looked me straight in the eyes,

"I know right now we can't think straight about everything but we'll figure it out so don't get worked out about it"

We got out of the house in silence and he drove off in that exact silence .

The drive back was fast and now we are at my gate, and here is where we say our last goodbyes .

KB broke the silence in the worst way anyone could think of.

"Im really leaving but my soul will be left here, I'll miss you babe"

Tears started rolling down my cheeks without permission and come to think of it I've been crying a lot ever since I met KB but do I care No I don't.

"What are you thinking, and please don't cry anymore, you are making it even harder on my part"

"Why are you so calm about this"

He was shocked at my question but answered anyway .

"You think I'm calm, its just that we both can't be crying who will make the other feel better?"

I was now hysteric I couldn't stop crying now I'm talking to him with cries in between

"So, at what time are you guys leaving"

"At exactly eight"

" hey, you don't have to talk let's just stay in silence for another like thirty minutes"

He held one side of my cheek and brought me closer to him and kissed me, the kiss was full of longing, lust, thirst and hunger at the same time, it was so rough and I liked it, I don't know how I got on his lap but now I'm on them kissing him with the same intensity his hand found its way to my T-shirt then stopped the minute his phone started ringing,

"I have to go, they've started calling, "

I got off his lap with a lamp on my chest and started crying really hard and got out of his car and so did he,

"No, keep going I won't be able to finish if you stop"

As dirty as that sounded it didn't take me to my world of fantasies .

"But, you are still crying, you are making everything harder to me"

"No its okay, I'll be fine, have a safe journey, I love you"

I said all that through tears and he started crying himself but I went ahead to the gate and entered inside leaving him at the gate.
