One thing is certain

"Do you... do you like her"?

I turned and looked at him as if I wasn't anticipating him to say that.

"What do you mean? I am very much in love with men, I have no feelings whatsoever for a woman".

At first, he scoffed, and then, he began laughing very hard.

"What do you mean by that? I wasn't asking if you had romantic feelings towards her. I was asking to know if you are beginning to like her and get more comfortable around her".

My face was flushed with embarrassment as I was not expecting him to make that the case.

"Well, just in case you're thinking I didn't know what you were trying to say, I'm telling you right now, that I did. I just wanted to make it clear in case you were thinking the other way round".

I said trying to defend myself but obviously, he was not buying it. Trying to conceal my embarrassment, I decided to change the topic.

"So, why did you call for me"?

I asked but he smiled again and I suddenly remembered that we had spoken about it.

"I told you the reason already, I was worried about you".

He said and I pretended to not feel so ashamed. I literally wanted the floor to open up and swallow me whole.

"I know that. But I felt you had something else to talk about".

He just kept smiling. He has his mouth covered with the back of his hand and his head tilted to the side but I could tell he was laughing at me. I then stood up intending to leave.

"Fine, I'll just leave".

I said and was about to walk away when I felt his large hand around my wrist, pulling me back to the bed. When I landed on the bed, he placed both his hands around my waist and held me tight while placing his head on the nook of my neck.

I couldn't move, neither could I speak. I just stayed in his arms, stiff and shocked. I did not know what to do. I loved the warmth I was feeling and the way my heart was pounding so fast made me feel like my entire inner body was about to explode. I felt excited, that I didn't want anything to disrupt what was going on right now.

"Is it okay for me to do this"?

I heard him ask after a long while. He then freed me and turned me around so that I could now be looking at him. The way he looked at me felt intense, yet soothing. It felt like he was telling me not to be worried and that he meant no harm. It felt like he was trying to show me just how much he cared.

I noticed he began moving closer, and closer, and closer, and just when his lips were about to touch mine, I began thinking of so many things at once.

'What is this? Is he going to kiss me again? Will it be better than before? Should I let him? Am I allowed to fall for him'?

He was so close, and I was not ready. So unknowingly, I pushed my head forward, causing a collision with both our heads. The force made us bump into each other although, it felt like my forehead hit his nose.

I jumped out of the bed and yelled.

"Oh my goodness, I'm sorry!! I'm so sorry!!"

I yelled and ran out of the room. I did not mean to hurt him like that. As a matter of fact, I did not think of anything like that happening. All I wanted to do, was stand up, tell him I wasn't ready, and walk away.

I was walking downstairs as I kept reminiscing about what had happened in the bedroom.

"Goodness, how am I going to face him later on"?

I asked myself and then, I tried to console myself.

"Oh well, I guess that was better than lying to him about not having feelings for him".

I spoke so fast that I had already finished talking before I paused to recalculate what it was that I had just said.

It was becoming so obvious that I had begun to develop feelings for this man. I didn't want to, I tried my best not to fall for him. But no matter how hard I try, my heart still wants what it wants. And that is no one else but Jason O'Brien.

As that thought came into my head, I began smiling sheepishly with my hands entwined together, I was smiling and moving my shoulder from left to right.

I then abruptly stopped and looked forward.

"What is this? Ahh!!! What is wrong with you Nadia"?

I said the last part as I placed both my hands in my hair and began distorting its peace.

As Nadia displayed different types of weird scenarios, she had no idea that there were two people upstairs just enjoying her craziness.

Kay and Derrick have been watching her since she came out of the room. They tried to say hi, but she was so lost in her thoughts that she did not hear them call her at all.

Since she wasn't listening, they decided to look and listen to her instead. Looking at her go from confused, to smiling, to depressed, to crazy all at once, just made them laugh so hard.

"Wahhh!! I never knew my sister-in-law could act like this. What do you think is the issue"?

Derrick asked the last part as he turned to look at Kay.

"What do you think uncle? She's obviously trying to convince herself of something".

Kay said and with the way he said it, one would think he knew exactly what was going on.

Derrick looked at his nephew with all seriousness and asked.

"Do you know anything? Did your father tell you anything"?

Kay shook his head showing that his dad didn't tell him anything.

"Dad didn't say anything to me, but one thing is certain though".

Derrick looked at him, waiting for him to continue speaking and when he noticed that his nephew was wasting time, he tried to hurry him up.

"What is it? Say something!!"

He pestered.

"That lady is a lady who is in love".
