"So what's up with you two?" Imogen asked from across me, nibbling on a fry.

My exams ended yesterday and today being a Saturday, Imo dragged me out of bed, telling me to get a life aside going to school and learning.

She was right, I needed to get a life outside of school and home. I hardly have real friends except Raina who's in Las Vegas and we don't get to see each other, we are all living our lives.

Imo insisted we go out and have a sister bonding time, something we rarely do. After deliberating on what to do, she suggested we go to the spa and then shop for clothes and shoes and get a new makeover at the salon when we're done.

Now, we're at this bistro we just discovered after having a full day today. It was really nice and I want us to do it over and over again if we had the time to considering our busy lives. I've found a sister I never had in her, someone who I can do girly things with and the feeling amazing.ย 

"Who and I?" I have a feeling I know who she is referring to, someone I don't want to remember.

"Rex, what's going on between you two."

Though I didn't want to remember him, his name didn't affect me. I decided that night never to let him get to me, I hated what he did and I don't want to relive it either so its best if I forgot about it if entirely.

It doesn't hurt if you don't remember it right? "Uh nothing, why are you asking?"

"I'm not blind Nae Nae if the others are, I can see how you two are around each other. There's this tension between you two-"

"I don't mean to be rude cutting you off but I'm serious there's nothing between us."ย 

"Are you going to deny? I saw him leave your room like two days ago and he has called me by your name on more than two occasions, now blurt it out already." She smiled, "are you two an item?"

"Hell no! There's nothing like that going on. He's only my brother who's kinda looking out for me that's all." I can even feel my lie doesn't add up but who cares? He is only my brother if he accepts it or not, nothing more nothing less.

"Okayyy if it isn't anything like that like you say which I don't believe you, do you have any love interest? A boyfriend or a girlfriend maybe?" She asked still pressing the subject that I wanted it to be dropped badly.

"Nope no love interest, my books are literally my boyfriend's as of now. I just want to get the degree and make daddy proud." Imo nodded understanding me. "What about you?"

I wanted to steer the conversation away from me. I also want to know about her, what she does now aside working. I secretly wanted to know if she has anyone she's going out with who is helping her rebuild her life.

"Same here, I'm currently not seeing anyone at the moment but I have my eyes on someone."

"Who?"

"My first love." The glint in her eyes when she inquired about Rex and I was gone. Her eyes shown sadness and I instantly regretted asking her.

"Its alright, you don't need to go further. Lets talk about something else how's-"

"No Nae Nae, I want to talk about it. Its fine, I have to get it off my chest. I need to tell someone cause its killing me."

"It it will help you feel better and lighter, go ahead."

"Yeah it will and thank you in advance for agreeing to listen to it." She said laughing slightly.ย 

"Anytime."

"He was our neighbour back in Summerlin north, he was your regular looking bad boy with ocean blue eyes, his perfect well sculptured nose and body that is to die for yet he was too good at heart, he never once mistreated me or cheated on me when we hooked up in our beach house in Aruba one summer which developed into a relationship that was the envy of many girls back in school, he was the most sought after boy then and we were a very happy couple till he graduated from high school, he was two years ahead of me," she paused and fan her eyes before continued, "that was when our perfect relationship started to crumble and it was all my fault!"

"Don't blame yourself."

"You don't get it, it was all my fault had I not allowed my insecurities get the better of me." She semi yelled in guilt as she wiped tears from her face, "I was always insecure, always thinking he was going to leave me for someone his age even when he was in high school but it never happened. I should have seen it wasn't going to happen but no, I started listening to friends telling me he was cheating on me. I asked one of Rex's friends and he said it was true, he's always with a particular girl and they do literally everything together. I got mad he was cheating on me so I decided instead if wallowing in self pity, I should go out there and enjoy life, explore new people. That was how come I started doing drugs, the guy who replaced my first love was the one who introduced me and the worst part is, I lost my virginity to that druggie and not him. He found out and ended things between us quicker than I could say hi, I had repeated the same mistake his exes did and he wanted nothing to do with me. We got into a fight and I confronted him on his extra affair and he denied, turned out the girl was his cousin, his parents confirmed it. I was the fool in the end and I've regretted it till now, I still love him Nae Nae, I still do with all my heart."

Getting up from my seat, I went to hers and pulled her in a hug. I made her cry out all the guilt she had in her heart all these years as I rubbed her back, it's best if she cries than bottling all her emotions in, it's only going to hurt her the more.ย 

Love! Why does it always have to ruin people.

She blew her nose into her handkerchief after being sober. Her eyes were now red and I felt sad for her, she's all like this because of love. "I've never stopped loving him, I can't even if I want to."

"Does he know you still do?"

"I don't know and he wouldn't believe me even if he did, to him I'm a cheat."

"Didn't you two talk about what really happened?"

"No, after the confrontation and he telling me it was over, he went back into his car and drove back here, he was studying at NYU and hasn't been home since. If he has I wouldn't know cause I couldn't go to their house out of guilt."

"Wanna hear something?"

"Yeah."

"You two are definitely going to come back together if you're truly made for each other. A silly childhood flaw isn't going to keep you two apart forever, it can't."

"But he wants nothing to do with me."

"I know he doesn't but we don't know the way of the universe, your paths can cross again and this time around you'll be together forever. Let's think about positivity."

"Yeah you're right, thank you so much for hearing me out. I needed that and thank you for not judging me."

"I can never judge someone cause I was never in their shoes, besides we all have flaws and that's going to make me a hypocrite. Only God can judge us and I'm not Him."

"How come I didn't meet you earlier in life? I would have made better choices than I did."

"Its never too late, there are more years ahead that you can correct your mistakes if not all and make better choices from now. I think I remember something."

"What is it?"

"My silly crush."

"Spill the tea already!"

"I don't really remember him much but what I know for sure is, I've fallen for that blue eyes mystery man."

"How did you two meet?"

I relaxed in my seat and began telling her the circumstances under which we met and our little fight before going for the coffee.ย 

Imo listened attentively with a lot of interest and in the end used my own words against me. She told me if we're truly made for each other, we will see each other again.

Even if we do, can I ever be in a relationship with him? That thing scares me already.


Imo and Nae having sissy time๐Ÿ˜, hope you enjoy this chapterโค.

Though everyday is mother's day, today is more special and I can never wish for anyone to take your place cause you're one in a million!/๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ’ž๐Ÿ’
