THE SECRET. Episode 2

...She then responded "I am going to  visit Alice". I became speechless. I never thought that she will be going to visit someone I just told her about.
    I went in very sober not even concentrating in my thoughts. I went straight to the parlour and rested on the longest couch, which is my favourite. It then dawn on me that I haven't really asked Alice out, I just loved her and never wanted anything serious with her because I found out she is my
age-mate although her senior in months.
     I have heard of people counting the ceiling when they are in serious examination but there was no ceiling for me to count. I began studying the structure of the POP in my house and the technology behind it. I moved closer to get a chair to feel the texture when I heard a knock at the door. I went to the door and asked "who is there", but the response gave me cold feet. "It's Alice, Justus I will like to see you". I didn't even know what to do, whether to run or open the door, but I remembered the usual saying of facing ones problem once and for all.
     I then opened the door,it was then I realized I had shouted "this is beauty", she had made-up before coming. This is unlike her, for the past two years I knew her. Her reply changed my tone. "Shut up! what the hell have you being thinking?" I realised we have been at the door all through. I then invited her in. She asked again "Justus what have you been thinking...why can't you be a man for once?" I couldn't decipher if it was anger or happiness. I saw tears roll down her cheeks. For the first time in my life, I wiped off the tears of a lady, then I got all the courage and said "I love..." she cuts in without allowing the words drop out of my lips and said " I just want to hear you say it, I love you too". At the moment, it was as if earth was no longer the planet I was in , but I needed to be fast to round up her package which led me into asking her "will you be my girlfriend?"  but the response was not in words but action as she looked at me as if to say 'who is this one?' then she left my house immediately.
