'wakey wakey...sleepy head' I said as I woke Tanny from sleep

'yummy...what are you preparing'

'i just made some bean cakes...i think we could take that with cereals if you don't mind' I told Tanny as i watched him stare at me

'I didn't come with my toothbrush so it won't be possible for me to have my breakfast here' Tanny said trying to decline my offer

'that shouldn't be a problem, I have an extra toothbrush in the closet, and I also have some sets of new towels so if you want to have your bath at once I give you a go ahead' I told Tanny as i showed him the way to the bathtub.Tanny didn't have a quick shower and I WAS SERIOUSLY WONDERING WHAT WAS TYING HIM DOWN IN THERE.

'what says the time miss' Tanny asked when he finally came out of the bathroom as I could scent my coconut shampoo on him

'its few minutes past seven' I TOLD HIM QUICKLY AS I COULD READ HIS MIND AND KNOW HIS NEXT MOVE.

'I think i should be heading back to my apartment now if you don't mind'

'I won't mind but you have to get something in your stomach before you begin to leave' i told him as i welcomed him to my dinning room.

'but he'll be here in few minutes time'

'why are you always thinking about him, who's fault is it...did you wake up early enough?'

'hey! stop that ...didn't you make me sleep on that you baby bed.don't you know it's very soft and I was enjoying it's comfort'

''Tracy bae...please can you open the door' we suddenly heard Austin's voice from outside

'uhm...what is happening Tracia' Tanny asked and I could feel he was scared

'oh my God..don't worry nothing is going to happen Tanny, I will help you through the back gate' i whispered to him as I assured Austin I was coming to open the door for him.

'I am sorry about this Tanny...everything will be safe, enjoy your ride home' i told him blowing a kiss at him as he left. i hurriedly returned to open the door for Austin only to find him sitting comfortably on my sofa.

'Austin...how did you get in'

'are you forgetting mum gave me one of your spare keys...you told me you couldn't find yours so I decided to help'

'you shouldn't have done that...but thanks anywhere I'm happy to see you,its been a while' I said as I sat on the dinning table to have my already set breakfast.

'AREN'T YOU GOING TO WELCOME ME WITH A HUG' Austin asked but I didn't give him the reply he needed

'where are we having the picnic' i asked him after taking a bite of my bean cake

'that should be your choice...aren't you gonna invite me to join you in your breakfast, as i can see it was set for two' Austin asked giving me a confused stare

'i don't need to invite you before you can join me'

'does that mean a yes?'

your wish Austin' i said stealing a glance at him. I AM PRETTY SURE HE WASN'T FANCYING MY RESPONSES, but I was getting tired of his questions

'how have you been faring in school and your studies' Austin asked changing the subject of our discussion.

'i have been pretty good,you?' i asked raising a brow at him.one thing i forgot he hates.

'by God's doing i have been okay...excuse me' he said as he left the table and went outside to his vehicle.

'I will just drop the things I brought and then I will take my leave' Austin said as he began offloading his car.

'Austin wat's wrong' i asked him as I realized his mood had changed

'I should be the one asking you that'

'what do you mean' I asked pretending not to understand what he was insinuating

'can you just imagine what you are asking me...for how long have I stayed inside that apartment of yours but you behave as if a soul wasn't with you, you didn't even welcome me as usual, instead you blew rude utterances at me' I heard Austin rake before walking out on me. I could imagine how he was feeling, but I WASN'T READY TO SHARE THAT PAIN WITH HIM.

'Austin can you please hear me out'

'what in particular is there for me to hear...that you are sorry again,young girl please grow up' he blurted out as he dropped the last from his vehicle and got in to drive away'

'its not Austin, I wasn't not just in my right frame of mind...maybe I was just stressed out because of school work'

'am not against you studying...do have a nice day' he said as he drove out on me..

*          *          *

'but you didn't have to be that rude on him, why did you behave that way' Clarie asked after i might had explained my ordeal to her

'earnestly speaking...I didn't intend to hurt him'

'but that is what you ended up doing'

'I know, but I WASN'T MYSELF' I blurted out

'that is always your problem...you need to look for a way to curtail your anger out-pour...BUT NEVER MIND, IF HE STILL LOVES YOU, HE WILL COME BACK ONE DAY FOR YOU' Clarie reassured me which made me feel better

'but I have a problem Clarie... ... ... I no more love him like before'

'seriously... then why all this tears'

'I'm just scared mum might hear about it and get mad at me'

'Tracia you seriously need to be sure of what you are saying...so what is your next move'

'I'll be going to Edinburgh'

'what???...are you forgetting you have tests this week'

'i know...but I have to...I need to explain things to him'

'if you say so...have your way..'
