The betrayer episode 10

THE BETRAYAL
EPISODE 10)
I stared at him angrily and in shock for a while,
before rushing back to my room in tears.
“Baby i’m sorry”I heard him apologise as he
followed me but i shut my door and locked it
before he could enter.
I really was so hurt that day cos i never
believed
mike would ever lay his hand on me.
Tears flowed freely from my eyes as i
remembered how i felt that day. “Why am i
even
remembering all these?” i asked myself as i
cleaned my eyes, but then it was my feelings for
Benjamin which was bringing my past
experience
back to my head, and i had no control over it.
I soon heard a steady knock on my door, which
brought me out from my thoughts.
I immediately composed myself as i went to
open
my door and when i opened it, there stood
Benjamin with a smile on his face, and he
peered
into the dark room.
“Are you still sleeping?
It’s almost 7:45pm” he asked me while i forced
a
smile.
“Actually i wasn’t even sleeping oo” i replied as
i
yawned, switched on my bulb and allowed him
in.
He entered, looked around for a while before
staring at me again. I tried to hide my face by
looking down, but his sharp eyes noticed my
dull
face and red eyes.
Seriously guys can be very sharp when it
comes
to reading a girl’s face, especially a girl they
are
interested in.
“What’s wrong? What happened?” he asked
seriously and with care, while i sat on my bed
and looked away, he was soon beside me and
he
held my hands tenderly.
“Please what is it, maybe i could be of help?”
he
asked, while i forced a smile.
“Don’t worry it’s nothing” i replied, but he just
shook his head.
“I don’t believe you, moreover nobody cries over
nothing” he insisted.
“Benjamin it’s nothing serious, i just
remembered
someone i used to care for” i explained and he
smiled.
“Ok, I now understand, so where is he?” he
asked
but i just gave him a blank look.
“Why do you want to know?” i asked back as i
rolled my eyes, which made him to smile and
shrug. But then my retort didn’t put him off,
instead he drew closer to me and looked into
my
eyes.
“Sweetheart a problem shared is a problem
solved, moreover sharing your story with a
friend
sometimes helps to reduce tension and bad
feelings, and i equally promise to share my own
story with you when you are done with yours”
he
said to me fearlessly, while i looked at him
silently as i battled within my mind whether to
share my secret with him or not.
I thought to myself that no matter my feelings
for
him, he still is a boy and might use it against
me
in future, but the way he stared at me really
showed he cared and the sparkle in his eyes
were
very real and filled with love. My eyes melted
again and i burst into tears while he held me in
his arms and consoled me.
“It’s okay baby” he said with his gentle voice,
and truthfully I didn’t know how i felt that
moment cos it has been a long time a guy held
me in that manner
