'can we just put things in order' I told Austin after realizing he was giving me the necessary attention I needed.

'what sort of order do you need again' he asked giving me an expression I didn't understannd.

'lets just talk things out'

'there's basically nothing we need to talk about anymore...the next thing you will do is to scold me'

'I only do that when you report our private and personal issues to mum'

'ooooh... so ahm the kid here right'

'can we just have this conversation in peace and put all this aside for now' I told Austin as he picked up a celebrity magazine.

'peace?...is that what you intend to have here...did it ever begin in a peaceful manner' Austin spoke letting out a giggle.

'WHO STOPPED IT FROM BEGINNING IN PEACE...aren't you the one who began the yelling and the rude behavior.

'would you mind repeating yourself' Austin said as he quickly let hold of the magazine he was holding as he walked up to where I sat.

'I'm not understanding your behavior anymore Tracia..what has gotten into you '

'even if I tell you what has got into me, you can't get it out'

'please don't do this to me Tracia, it would be too early...I still love you' Austin said falling on his knees.

'I'm sorry Austin but I can't keep deceiving you...I can't keep watching and see you getting hurt anymore' I blurted out as tears welled up in my eye.

'see Tracia, it doesn't really matter what you have been doing to me in the past...we could start everything afresh again. just give me a chance' Austin pleaded but there was nothing I could do to help.

'Austin please can you stop begging me, we cant just continue in this anymore' I said making him let go of his hold. I picked up my bag walking out of his room, but he walked after me with tear filled eye .

'Tracia ... no matter what happens, I will always be willing to fight for you in all situations' Austin said making me to come to a halt.

'I wont forget you in a hurry' I told him trying to hold him by his hands but he wouldn't let me to.

'take care of yourself' he told me as he walked back into his room making me feel a flush of guilt.

'did you two make things out'

'work out...nothing worked out, I only told him the whole truth'

'what are you talking about ... you two didn't make out after all I had told you, why didn't you just give him the chance to love you' Clarie spoke in anger

'you don't need to judge me Clarie... I just want to believe that what I did was the best for the situation. I don't want mum knowing all our wrongs and rights anymore' I told her but she just stood there giving me a stare.

'so you believe that mum wouldn't hear of what you have just done'

'that's what I want to believe Clarie'

' I don't know why you keep putting yourself in difficult situations like this'

'I couldn't keep on pretending.. I had to open up girl'

'I'm not against that... but be sure of your next step' she told me before Lukar joined us on the table.

'hiiiiiii....' we chorused as soon as wee realized his presence.

'you girls didn't order for anything?' Lukar asked having noticed that we only had bottles of water on the table

'we are fine this way.. water is pretty good for the health' I told him but he paid little or no attention to me, as he ordered for some snacks and drinks to be served 

'you need to improve on your appetite bae... I don't want you to get smaller than this before I marry you' Lukar joked making me to laugh out.

'tanchu pretty much' Clarie said once our order was served

'its my pleasure dear'

                                 _                                                         _                                                   _

'didn't I tell you it was over, what don't you get'

'it was over doesn't men that I don't still love you, or we don't still love ourselves anymore' Kemzy replied

'that is exactly what it meant, so please do well to stay clear of me'

'but we didn't have an official breakup'

'Kemzy, this is not the right time to tell me all this blabs...I am not in the mood... you didn't just have to infringe on a feeling of mine'

'don't let me believe that you broke up with me to be with this brat' Kemzy screamed making me recover myself from the lavender wine that was poured on me by her...

'what the heck are you rambling...and what gives you the right to attempt insulting me in public after this sort of ridicule' I yelled at the top of my voice

'don't let me release the anger that is rushing inside of me now on you' Kemzy ordered lifting her hands up into the air

'whoa, whoa whoa....and you think I will seat and watch you do that after you might have gotten off with me the last time... I think it is not too late you began to learn your damn manners... do you think I am like you that go around with peoples boyfriend?, girl I think I gat my limit so you better beware of what you say orr else things wouldn't just work as you plan' I instructed as I picked up my belongings an walked out.

I headed straight to the convenience. I didn't really want to get my mind into what Kemzy had just tried putting up. it was really embarrassing but I just had to control myself to avoid further embarrassment.

'I'm so sorry about what happened earlier on' Clarie told me as I stepped out of the convenience

'never mind Clarie ... I will be fine'

                            *                                                      *                                                    *

'could you please gimme a chance'

'for crying out loud...are you in your correct senses'

'as you can see I am not having mental issues and I am doing really good'

'then why do you choose to keep picking on me'

'that's just my already known attitude'

'if you say so' Austin said as he walked out on me

'whatever,...that's up to you because you still come back for me so far as Tracia is  already gone and she's not willing to return
