Episode 11
Sprawled on my bed is Ashley dressed in a very short gown.
When I say short I mean short.
"Kevin.. Long time no see"
"What are you doing? Why are you in my room?"
"Why are you like this? You stopped picking my calls, you avoid me in school so I decided to come here, to check up on you"
"I purposely did all that, you should get the message by now, WE ARE THROUGH"
"Come on I know you don't mean that. You can't possibly replace me with that excuse of a girl, Ava......"
"Don't you dare spit out rubbish about her..." I say angrily
"What is wrong you?" She asks
"I believe that's a question you should ask yourself Ashley. You know what? I don't have time for too much talk. Get out" I point towards the door angrily.
"Wh....what?"
"OUT"
I push her out when she made no move to go out.
"I don't ever want to see you in my house again... Understood??"
She just stands outside gaping at me like a fish.
I slam the door of her face.
What a dramatic day.
**************************************
"
You mean she was sprawled on your bed when you entered your room?" Ava says.
"Yes, imagine. I eventually pushed her out"
"What? That's mean"
"I had to, she's so desperate".
We just finished Bible Study in church and we are discussing outside the church.
" Thank God you didn't fall into the temptation tho"
"Yeah... You know whenever I see her I get reminded of Delilah"a
"Delilah? In the Bible?"
"Yes"
"Have you seen Delilah before?"
"Well... My imagination runs wild"
She laughs........
"Let's go" I say
"No, you go..I'm getting a ride from someone. I promised I will get a ride from him".
"Who?"
"David"
"Who is David?"
"The guy who led the praises today"
"Oh...him"
"Yes"
"I didn't know you are friends" I ask, a little bit irritated.
"We just started talking recently"
"And you are already getting rides from him... That's fast"
"What's fast about that?" She glances up and her face lights up.
"He's here"
"Hi, good evening Bro Kevin. Hi Ava". He says with a smile directed to Ava.
'He's not even good looking" I think in my mind.
"Good evening Bro Davis" I respond to his greeting with mock of course.
"His name is David" Ava says.
"David, Davis what's the difference?"
She scowls at me.
"Oh.. Whatever". I say
Ava scowls more and I just shrug.
"Let's go David... Good night Kevin "
I watch them leave, he is too close to her for my liking.
He looks slimy.
I don't think I will ever be friends with this Dave guy.
He looks like trouble.

Episode 12
The following day at school I see Ava sitting on one of the benches so consumed by what she is doing on her phone.
"Boo" I say behind her.
"Ahhhhhhhhh" she screams and her phone drops from her hands
I start laughing and she hits my arms.
"You scared me".
I shrug.
"What's up?"
"Nothing much..." she says as she picks her phone up and goes back to chatting.
Few seconds later she starts giggling and that got me curious so I ask
"Who are you chatting with?"
"David..
He is so funny"
"David.. The choir boy?"
"Yes"
A muscle twitch in my jaw and I start feeling something heavy in my chest.
"OK..bye" I get up
"Hey.. What's wrong?" Ava asks
"Nothing" I snap at her unintentionally "Uhm.. OK..see you tomorrow"
"Whatever" I say as I leave her.
I know I shouldn't be like that to her but I'm getting annoyed with her closeness to that David guy.
Just who does he think he is to take my Ava away from me?
Wait..did I just call her mine?
Oh, man.

Lol, I hope Kevin doesn't end up killing David.

The following Sunday I got to church, they already started the opening prayer and surprisingly Ava was not around yet.
"Where is she?"
She's always early to church.
I go out and bring out my phone and as I am about to call her I notice a car driving in and I see Ava in the car with yeah you guessed right... David.
I watch her get down and she looks up and sees me she's about to wave but I just storm back in the church.
She enters few minutes later and sits beside me.
"Hi Kevin"
No reply.
"Hey" She waves her hand in my face and I just keep a blank expression.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you ignoring me?" She says a little bit irritated.
I didn't reply because I am boiling inside and if I say anything I will hurt her.
She stomps her feet angrily and we didn't say anything throughout the service.
**************************************
After service I see the guy with her and she's laughing seriously.
I've had enough of this!
Without thinking I move close to them.
"Ava let's go"
"Oh..hi Bro Kevin..."
"Yeah, hi" I wave him off.
"Let's go Ava" I say with a slight annoyance in my voice.
She notices it and doesn't want to make trouble so she decides to go with me.
She takes a deep breath, I know she's annoyed.
"Alright David, bye". She waves and follow me into my car.
**************************************
"What's your problem?" Ava asks in annoyance as soon as I start driving.
"What's my problem? What is my problem? Are you seriously asking me that? You are the one getting all cozy with the choir boy"
"Excuse me, his name is David".
"Oops sorry.. Davis..."
"Davi... What's wrong with you? Huh, tell me... Why are you behaving this way?" She asks angrily.
I stop the car.
"What's wrong with me? The problem I have is that you are getting too close with that choir boy" I say with irritation.
"His name is David and what's your business with whoever I talk too? Huh? I can be friends with whoever I want"
She is raising her voice now and my own pitch is getting louder.
"So you think the choir boy wants to be your friend?, with the way he keeps smiling at you in a creepy way. What do you like about him anyway, he's not even good looking and he does not even have a good voice. His voice is like that of a wolf" I shout at her.
"What's wrong with you? Are you jealous? Because frankly...." She shouts.
"Yes I am jealous" I shout back without thinking.
And everywhere becomes quiet..

Episode 14
I can't believe I actually said that.
Everywhere was quiet for a while before she speaks up.
"Wh....what..I mean why?" Ava asks
"You should know why". I say quietly
"I don't know why" she replies.
Well, here it goes.
I summon up courage.
I look at her and open my mouth but a phone rings....
Ava's phone.
"Sorry"
"It's okay" I say and let out a huge breath that I didn't realize I've been holding.
She waits for the phone to stop ringing.
"Who is it?" I ask curiously wondering why she didn't pick it.
She hesitates a bit.
"It's David"
I sigh.
"I knew that boy was trouble".
She chuckles.
Few seconds later...
"So...uhm...you were saying....." Ava says
"I....I" my breath gets caught in my throat .
I've never been so nervous in my life.
I lost all confidence.
I've never lost confidence talking to a girl before although most of them throw themselves at me.
Ava just keeps looking at me in a calm way.
How can she be calm in this situation?
I just have to talk so I do seriously praying in my head that I get a positive answer.
"I love you, Ava. I really do. I don't know how or when it started I just realized that I never want to be apart from you.
I....i...want you in my life Ava, so bad... Please say yes."I say.
She didn't say anything.
She just keeps looking at me.
I'm getting scared by the minute with different thoughts in my head.
'Maybe she doesn't love me, maybe she only sees as a friend or a brother...maybe she will say no"
A lot of maybes run through my mind.
"Ava, please say something you are making me nervous" I speak up.
After what feels like forever.
She suddenly smiles and hug me and say in a beautiful voice.
"I love you too Kevin, always have, always will"
She says it so quietly that I almost think it's my imagination.
"For...for real?"
"Yeah, for real Kevin..
I love you"
I start smiling so much that I think my cheeks will tear.
We are smiling widely at each other after we release each other from the fierce hug lost in our world and then the we are interrupted again by her phone.
"Don't tell me it's David again"
"Now you know his name, huh? Yes it is David". Ava says with a mischievous smile.
"That little punk..."
I groan and place my head on the steering wheel.
Ava laughs and I join her too and hold her hand.
At that moment, I bless the day the Professor paired us up together.
I got saved.
I got love.
The End.
I love you all too, always have, always will #sniffles#..Lemme go and blow my nose.
