"I love you!"
"What???!!"Clara screamed seeing his text.
"I love you too"she responded trying to fit in with the atmosphere.
"You don't get my point miss indoors"He texted back.
"What do you mean??"she asked.
"I'm in love with you!,look I know it sounds stupid cos by now your sis must have told you some shitty things that went on when I first came here and the way you see me too and the friends I hang out with,I know you won't believe me"He replied.
"That's not the point!"She texted back.
"Why are you in love with me?"she questioned a bit uneasy with conversation.
"Well at first I thought I could keep my cool and pretend like there isn't a feeling but I can't hide it anymore"he replied.
"For real?"she texted back.
"Yes!"
A smile creeped into her lips,of course she always had a tangling feeling when ever she's with him but she couldn't understand if it was love,lost or infatuation.
She couldn't help the butterflies dancing inside her stomach.
"Gosh!what the heck is this?"She muttered biting her lower lips.
"Are you there??"He asked.
"Ah yeah I am"came her response.
"So what are you saying about this then?"He asked after a short while.
"Well,I can't tell but I could give it a shot"Came her response..
"Wait a minute,babe for real???"He questioned placing a dancing emoji at the end.
"Yeah"she replied chuckling.
"Yes!!!!!!!"he wrote.
She could feel he was giggling just the way she was too but couldn't bring it up due to the tension at hand.
"Babe can I see you?, probably tonight when you're done with whatever you're doing?"He questioned gaining an immediate "yes"from her.
She went offline, dropping her phone on the bed,"yes yes yes!!!,I have a boyfriend now"she smiled dreamily rolling herself on the bed with excitement.
"And what's wrong with this one??"She could hear Helene mocking tone.
"Ugh leave me alone!"She murmured.
"Awww hey!"Helene bent over whispering,"did someone send you money??,you know I'm your sis right?"Helene added still whispering.
"Ugh go away!,if I have money and I'm still broke like this!"Clara hissed lying flat on the bed,a smiled still plastered on her face.
"Then why are you smiling?"Helene asked.
"A long story,just leave me now"she waved her off.. "hmmmmmm long story Clara!!!!,No problem,one day you'll still make this long story short"helene stated leaving the room.
*****
Later that night....
"Hey come towards that incompleted building so that no one would see us and yell at us either"Silas texted her.
She sighed,"okay"came her response as she dressed properly moving out.
She stylishly walked to the building like she was looking for something as she moved into it, "Hi"she greeted.
"Hey!"came his response.
"How are you doing??"he questioned.
"Well I'm okay and you"she asked back,her eyes tightly fixed to the ground as she fidget with the hem of her dress,her feet drawing imaginary lines with the slippers she put on.
"I'm okay too,come on babe,please look up"He pleaded cupping her face with his palm as he raised them up to look at him.
"You're so beautiful!"he commented,this time was an inch away from her.She could smell his scent..
A smell of wet earth with a little touch of deodorant,it smelt good!
She hummed inhaling him.
"Thanks"she replied her eyes closed.
She felt a soft press on her lip as her eyes sprang open realizing what was happening.
She pushed him away,"what are you doing??"She questioned.
"What do you mean what I'm I doing??, we're dating now aren't we?"he asked.
"Uh huh,and so??,isn't this too early?? Aren't we supposed to talk about other things like getting to know each other before this ...."
"Clara that doesn't matter!!!..."He cut her off.
"All that matters is that I love you"he added wrapping him arms around her as he dragged her close to him.
She gasp feeling the growth between his thighs,"what are you trying to do?!"she asked,her voice shakened in fright.
"What do you think I'm about to do?"He questioned without getting a response.
"Clara!"he called..
"Yeah"she whispered,her body still in shock on what was about happening next.
"Prove to me you love me!"he stated,her eyes widening as she stared up at him.
"What do you mean?"She questioned.
"Prove your love to me!"he said again this time w little audible.
"But you already know I do...."
*Prove!"he stated shunning her .
She lowered her gaze,"Uhm please would you give me sometime??"she stuttered.
"Alright!, I won't rush you either"he said calmly disengaging from her as she sighed in relief.. "just tell me when you're ready"he stated leaving her there.
When I am ready??-She thought.
What does this young man mean???-She soliloquized.
She sighed, adjusting herself before leaving, carefully checking no one's watching.
"Where are you coming from Clara?"Francis' voice came up from behind as she flinched.
"Uhm went to get a note from my classmate nearby but she wasn't around"She stuttered unsure of what else to say.
"Okay what about Annabella?"He asked her,pulling off his shoes.
"Probably sleeping,I don't know"She responded, still in fright.
"Did you guys cook?I'm seriously hungry"he collapsed on the chair beside him.
"I'll go get your food"she quickly said, staggering out immediately.
She served him swiftly rushing to the bed immediately, struggling to control her shaky body before anyone noticed.
"Hey!"she tapped Helene gently.
"What??"She hummed sleepily.
"I've got gist for you!..."She whispered back.
Helene never ceasing to escape anything jossip opened her eyes immediately.
"What's that?"she asked, turning towards Clara.
Clara calmed down explaining every detail to her, "Ha Clara!!!!,that's playboy?!!"She whispered a little loudly.
"Shh lower your voice"Clara reminded."
"Sorry,but....you harsh oo,out of all the guys??"Helene muttered, "what do you love about that guy in thr first place??",She asked.
"Well"Clara began,turning to face the celene as she spoke dreamily, "well I just
..love him,that's all,I want to try him"she explained.
"Ha!!!" Helene mouthed.
"Your choice,not mine but anything you see, take it that way"Helene warned.
"Yeah yeah, whatever"Clara replied snickering.
Helene sighed deeply shaking her head, "I pity you!"she mumbled drifting to sleep while Clara just stared into space,her mind wandering about what happened that night.
That was the least she expected but she couldn't help with the fantasy colliding her head.
Days turned into weeks and Silas was running out of patience,he couldn't stand her, always complaining to her to show she truly loved him. Clara on the other hand couldn't get a thing,so she googled and asked most of her friends who are in a relationship but none of which she got favoured.
Everything landed on s*x which she kept avoiding.
"Just do whatever is in your mind Clara,I bet he'll appreciate you,besides it's your first time been in a relationship"A friend of hers name peculiar advised.
She hummed, "what if he doesn't?"She asked.
"Then he doesn't love you,if a guy loves you he wouldn't force you to go beyond your capacity"Peculiar explained.
"Oh I see ....but..."
"No but!just follow your heart "peculiar encouraged.
She nodded,"okay,I'll try my best"She responded, sighing deeply.
"Hey babe,"She texted.
"Yeah what's up??"he replied immediately, "can we see tonight??"she questioned.
"Any probs??"he asked nonchalantly.
"I just want to see you,that's all"she explained.
"Alright,at th unusual spot or somewhere else?"he questioned.
"At the usual spot"she responded.
"No probs" he responded.
Later that night they met at the uncompleted building,"so why are we here??"he questioned.
She could tell he was cussing under his breath...
"You wanted me to prove to you that I love you"She explained.
"So??,it's been a month now already if I'm not mistaken"he replied back.
"Is that why you're angry??"She flared back.."I've never been in a relationship before and all you care about is proving love for you,how selfish you are!".
"Wait wait!,are you saying you're still a virgin??!"he asked in disbelief
She scoffed In disbelief, you think I'm not??"she questioned angrily.
"f**k!,you're far more worst than I imagined"Clara re about to leave.
"Wait wait, it's not what you think,I was just thinking maybe you're not and you've been pretending all this while"he explained, holding her arm sharply.
Clara turned to him,"seriously??she asked.
"Yeah,I'm so sorry,I shouldn't have put you in so much pressure "he apologized.
She scoffed,"whatever!"she turned to him grabbing his cheeks as she pecked him.
He froze at the spot,"did..did..."
"Yes I did,you said I should prove to you o love you right??,so that's it!"She chuckled lightly.
He smiled peering straight into her eyes, "can I kiss you more Clara?"He asked which got her smiling too.
"Yeah sure"she stated flushed as her belly groaned in excitement.
He pressed his lips towards her sucking on it for a while before disengaging,"you can't kiss??"he questioned.
Her gaze fell to the floor flustered, "damn I'm sorry,I'm sorry ..my bad"he apologized immediately seeing she wasn't comfortable with it.
"No it's fine,I've just never kissed intensely before"She replied.
"For real??"he giggled as she nodded her head.
"f**k and you say you're 18 years old??,God! I love you!!!"He mumbled pressing his lips into hers again.
"Don't worry,just follow my lead"he whispered beneath the kiss as the both savoured themselves.
He wrapped his arms around her dragging her close to while she wrapped herself around his head,fighting back the excitement that was about to unleash itself.
"Don't fight back!"He quarried breaking the kiss as they both breath restlessly.
"I love you"he stated, "I love you more"she replied,her head still filled with fantasied images.
He pressed her even harder this time to himself as she could feel the building beneath him which got her gasping.
"Are you that big?"She whispered to him lowering her gaze to his waistline.
"Wanna see it??"he asked.
She gulped hard nodding without hesitation as her heart raced,"I want to see it!"she stated.
