RILEY💃

I began to laugh.

“Haha haha haha haha haha”I laughed loudly covering my mouth at intervals.

He stared at me dazed.

“What’s wrong? Did I say anything wrong? ”

“No,

Play my guitar please “I laughed lightly and then stopped.

But I was shaken by that.

Those eyes which stared into mine for an answer shook me terribly.

“Never mind what I said,

Its nothing… I was… I was just teasing you”he said.

I nodded tucking at my hair,

He shouldn’t have asked me this at all,

How am I supposed to answer him?

Tell him yes??

So cheap of him to even think that!

Or to say no!

How will I look like?

No, he shouldn’t ask me that at all.

I’m not even sure if I really like him.

Maybe I do.

I feel free around him.

I always loved to be with him and I feel safer when I’m with him alone.

“What’s wrong? “He asked and I shook my head smiling.

“Nothing ”

“You’ve been looking at me for a while now”he pressed further and I smiled again.

“Was I? ”

“Yeah, you were ”

I smirked urging him to play.

He smiled and then began to play,

“🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼”

I listened carefully,

Whoa!

He can do it!

He really can!!

I began to clap for him as he kept playing the guitar.

“Let me sing for you”I said and he nodded.

“🎶Slow, slow, slow goes the mountain of love, ”

He stopped playing looking at me,

“Who sang that? “He asked and I shrugged.

“I did,”

“Really? ”

“Of course”

“Wow! You have such a good voice ”

I blushed.

“I didn’t know I have a good voice”

He smiled sitting down beside me and then:

“Try it out”

“What? “I asked confused.

“Dancing… Try it out ”

I frowned before growling.

“I can’t and I won’t”

“You can ”

“How? ”

I felt offended.

“Maybe…. ”

“The lesson is done for today,

I want to go home “I said standing up,

“I didn’t even play to the end for you ”

“I’m going to buy Daniel a dinner”

His face fell again.

“So… So you’re really going out with him? “He asked half heartedly and I shrugged.

“I’m not going out with him,

I’m only going to buy him a dinner “I explained.

“A dinner? “He scoffed.

“What’s wrong?

What if I buy him a dinner? ”

“He’s trying to get close to you Riley”

“What if he does? ”

“Guys getting close to people isn’t all that perfect cuz they might want something from you and… ”

I smirked stepping close to him.

What’s he saying?

Is he forgetting that he himself is a guy?

“So you want something from me?

Cuz you’re a guy too and you said it just now that guys isn’t all that perfect to be around girls, ”

“I didn’t mean it that way… ”

“Carson I will see you later at the library or worst still tomorrow “I cut him out smiling.

I don’t know what’s wrong with him and I can’t place my hand on any thing either.

Acting all moody when a guy’s issue is brought up.

“Why him? “He asked again as I started off my steps to go.

“Why what? ”

“Him?

Why him?

Why buying a dinner for him! You can refuse it!

You can say that you don’t want to buy a dinner and… “He was all angry.

“What’s wrong with you!

Carson,

If you think he’s getting close to me then,

It means I’m going to have a boyfriend!

A real one at that!

Maybe I should just taste relationship for once in my life!!

Why getting all angry about it! “I yelled back and he took two steps back ward looking at me with a surprised look on his face.

“A boyfriend? Him? “He asked looking so startled.

He dumped the guitar on the ground and I screamed thinking he was going to hurt his leg again even though he didn’t.

I feigned coughing immediately to cover up my stupid screaming.

He glared at me for a while and heaved.

“Riley… “He called in a calm voice,

“What? ”

“I want to tell you something ”

“Which is… ”

“I… From… I… I’m… Never mind”

I perked up my brow.

CARSON💃

How am I supposed to tell her that I like her?

That I love her?

How?

“Is something wrong with you? “She asked me and I shook my head.

I don’t want her to go away from me.

I don’t want her around that jerky guy!

“Never mind”I found myself saying again even though I wanted to say more than those words.

“Okay”she kept nodding before she backed away.

I gulped.

I should’ve told her!

I should’ve told her afterall.

I watched her walk away, before she entered her car and drove off.

I bit my lower lip looking at the car dissapear and heaved.

Maybe I’m not for her!

Daniel is,

He’s rich,

An heir,

Probably more cuter than I am!

And me?

A struggling guy like me… What do I take myself for?

She’s rich and has taste for quality things and here I am… Standing infront of her and just because she gave me the rights to be around her,

I want to stand infront of her and tell her that I like her… What insult its gonna be to her.

I bit hard.

I don’t have to tell her that I like her.

I shouldn’t even dare do that else she’s going to move away from me and never talk to me again.

I won’t ever tell her….

Next day,

I arrived school earlier than normal and that jerk face greeted me when I was on my way to the general class.

“Oh hey!

I met you today again”he said pushing me slightly on my chest and that made me stagger back a little.

“Don’t touch me more than this please”I warned and his friends laughed.

“Wow!

You should be lucky I touched you guy”

I ignored trying to walk past them but they won’t let me.

He smiled at me,

“I want to beat you up real bad Carson or whatever you call yourself! ”

I scoffed.

Beat me up?

Just like that?

This guy must be really out for trouble.

“Leave him alone “one of them said,

“I can’t Rolie,

I want Riley to pick my calls and the best thing to do is to punish this jerky trash and see her running like a flash to this place “he said and they all laughed hysterically.

Huh?

To beat me up and lure Riley to this place?

“Act of cowardice”I muttered scoffing afterwards and he gave a short wild laugh which made students look our way.

“Act of what? ”

“You heard me the first time and stop being jerky”I added cocking my head and he looked at his friends with a surprised expression on his face before he turned to look at me once again.

“It looks like you want to get beaten up by me”

I smirked.

“Beat me up? Why? ”

“You will soon find out”he raised his hand to my face and a sharp husky voice called out his name.

“You again Daniel! ”

I turned to see my professor standing there looking at us.

He dropped his hand and smiled at me devilishly,

“See you later Carson,

And… Don’t even think of her liking you cuz there’s a huge difference between you and her “he whispered laughing and then backed away with his friends following him from behind.

I groaned a little.

I was boiling in anger already.

“Are you okay?

Did he touch you? “My prof asked and I shook my head walking away to the class where I met Riley and Riele stood facing each other while the whole class served as the audience for the both of them.

🗣Jeez!

🗣You mean that lowly guy?

🗣He’s here!

🗣How can they fight over him?

I looked about to see lips talking and staring at them.

Riley was pacing while Riele was standing with hands akimbo looking at Riley and slapping one of her legs on the floor.

“Answer me now!

I want to know!

I want the whole class to know!!!… “She yelled and looked my way,

Our eyes met and she added:

“Say it infront of him!”

“And what’s your business with whom I like and whom I don’t! ”

“We have to know!

He has to know! “She fired with hatred in her voice.

Riley snapped her fingers,

“Now, say it to the class,

Do you like Carson? ”

“Yes! ”

🗣Whoa!

🗣What the heck is going on?

🗣Where is my phone?

🗣The whole world must hear this!

🗣I thought she was getting married?

Soon, cameras stood out videoing the both of them,

“I like Carson,

So much and he knows it!

I love him so much and I stood by him all time!

I won’t lie about what I feel for him despite that am being forced to marriage! ”

She stopped talking,panting and looking at Riley,

“And what if I like him Riele,

Will you leave him for me?

“Just answer me first… Do you like Carson? ”

My temperature rose higher than normal,

My heart thumped too.

What’s she going to say?

I was nervous too and that’s when our eyes met….

💃THIRTY💃

RILEY💃

He helped me through out my trying times and he’s still helping me.

He might be a blockhead but he’s the best thing that I’ve ever had after my aunty’s death.

He’s everything that I needed, both physical and emotional.

He stands by me and gives me all the support I needed even though am an annoying brat who doesn’t need anyone’s help.

He’s so cute too.

He’s tall and he’s nice and kind.

He’s perfect and I can see the reason why Riele likes him so much.

I gulped as our eyes stared into each other.

Does he like me?

What if he doesn’t?

Then am the fool around here isn’t it?

I can’t say it.

“Answer me”she pressed further but I was mute.

I couldn’t speak.

Say yes and what happens?

Say no and make him feel so unwanted by me?

My heart raced faster and adding to my nervousness.

Phones were raised up to our faces and everywhere was as calm as ever.

I couldn’t even speak up.

Say what?

*Yes, I like Carson*.. Like the heck!

I stepped back a bit and then ran away.

Why am I running?

Why am I even running harder?

Cuz I have to run away from everyone and every face speaking to me.

I have to run so far away from everyone and anyone.

I didn’t stop until I was out of school then I stopped panting for breath.

“Why are you running so hard? “I heard Daniel’s voice.

I scoffed.

“Can you just go away? “I grinned.

“Not after running all these distance following you”he snapped panting.

“I didn’t ask you to follow me so please go away”

“At last let’s have a cup of coffee down there”he pointed still getting into my throat.

“Can’t you leave me alone!

I don’t want you!

I don’t like you… “He grabbed my hand,

“Let’s go have some coffee down there to make up for all the calls I gave you yesternight and this morning but you weren’t picking up”

“I’m not your girlfriend whom you call the way you want! ”

“I never said you were crush, “he beamed at me and I felt more disgusting.

“Just leave me alone “I struggled to get my hand off him but it wasn’t working.

He seemed stronger than I can be.

“I can’t. okay?

Everything I ask you to do or when I do something for you,

I always deserve a payback”

“And that’s having a cup of coffee with me? ”

“Exactly! pretty”

I sighed.

Today is such a bad for me.

I shook my head repeatedly and then looked at him once more.

“Just a coffee and you will let my hand go? ”

“Yes, I will but for now”he replied

“Let’s go”I said…

CARSON💃

Running after her seemed like I was a bit late cuz when I reached the gate,

I saw her walking hand in hand with that so-called Daniel.

My heart broke.

I gasped for breath immediately looking at their backs.

I almost fell but I held myself.

Is this why she couldn’t say that she liked me?

No, she doesn’t like me but is that what had been so hard for her to say?

I became angry.

She’s so ingrateful and so unfeeling!

Why him?

I made to follow them but someone back hugged me.

“You’re mine Carson,

Forget about her,

She won’t and can’t even admit that she likes you”…. it was Riele speaking placing her head on my back.

“She can’t even say it to you and to me”

I stood rooted at the spot ,

I was looking into an empty space infront of me.

“Carson,

I love you and I always do,

She’s going to give you nothing but pain!

She’s so ungrateful and will never value you till the rest of your life! ”

I turned over getting her hands off me,

“Look Riele,

Everything is wrong with dating you okay?

First,

You’re my brother’s would be bride.

Second,

You’re almost a married woman.

Third,

I won’t fight for something that I know so much that I won’t ever have,

Fourth,

Your family set me up and almost sued me to court because of you and more will happen if I try… ”

“We can fight! ”

“Fight? Fight for what?

Riele, I don’t like you not to talk of loving you”

She stepped back a bit looking into my face.

“I want to ask you a question and I need an answer now! ”

“Go on”I urged.

“Do you like Riley? “She asked and I was mute for some seconds thinking.

Her hair…. Her laughs… Her smiles… Her voice…. Her lashes…. Her eyes… Her nose… Her lips… Her face….How she acts and behaves around me.

Everything about her is just perfect and the highest fact is that, she’s a crazy dancer even before she lost her legs.

Read – Sacrilege episode 2

She’s so perfect everywhere and gaht no flaw.

Okay, she’s got some rude attitude but am used to it.

So I don’t think I only like her but also loves her a whole lot.

“Answer me”she added tugging at my clothe and I nodded my head rather slowly.

“I don’t like her but love her”

Her face frowned and creased up into anger.

“But you met me before her!

She can’t dance! I can!

She can’t even move her ankles and always lost out!

She’s nothing but a cabbage with a *fancy* attached to her ballerina!!! “She yelled bitterly but I didn’t care.

“There’s something she told me which I never believed and do you know what it is? ”

She kept looking at me with tears in her eyes and face,

“I don’t care to know what you believe or not Carson… I can cancel my marriage cuz of you,

Don’t leave me please,

I love you so much to part with you”she sobbed.

“Riele,

You asked me a question and I answered you remember? “I reminded so she will stop acting out.

“Fine! “She cleaned her tears,

“She doesn’t like you does she? “She beamed and I shrugged.

She doesn’t even see me not to talk of liking me.

I’m too low for her,

“That’s the more reason we should be together cuz she clearly doesn’t deserve us “she pressed further looking into my eyes but I looked away.

“Carson… ”

“What is it Riele? ”

She’s being a pain in the neck all the time!

“Kiss me, ”

“What! what’s wrong with you? ”

“She’s coming and I want you to kiss me? ”

“Who’s coming? “I asked confused.

Kiss her?

Why?

I don’t want to get into trouble more than the one I have.

If I should have problems now,

It should be because of Riley and not Riele.

“Riley… ”

I turned to see her coming back with Daniel again.

This time,

They weren’t holding hands and probably gave each other some distance.

She was looking at me sternly but I looked away.

“Kiss me even if you don’t love me please”she pleaded and I sighed.

“Just once and don’t ever ask me to do it again”

she nodded and I found my lips in hers,

🗣Look!

🗣Carson kissed his brother’s fiancee!

🗣Oh my!

🗣Where’s my phone?

🗣Riele don’t have shame at all!

🗣Even in school?

I removed my lips from hers and gulped.

She smiled,

“Thank Carson “she said and then walked away waving and winking .

Riley was standing few paces away from me.

“Wow! That was great! “Daniel began to clap.

“You did so great!

Look at cameras everywhere taking your pictures,

Wanna be a celebrity by all means…. “He turned to Riley smirking,

“Someone like him shouldn’t be around you at all sweetie,

Gonna call you later,

Better answer my calls”he winked and then left.

We both stood looking at each other without saying a word.

What would I say?

That I kissed her all because she asked me to do so.

Or say,

*Where did you go to with him?*

* Why did you have to go with him? *

*Why didn’t you say that you like me?*

“Uhm… That was great! “She muttered trying so hard to smile at me.

“Uh… Was it? I.. She. A.. Are… “I stammered and she smirked.

“Its cool,

Its good.. Er…. I think I have to go to the library to go get some books for tomorrow’s test”she said.

“Okay”I replied nervously waving and she nodded trying to leave but then turned her front to me once again,

“I… I couldn’t say it infront of all those people but..but.. But… I like you… “She smiled afterwards.

What?

Did she mean she likes me?

“Ur.. I mean…. I.. No, you kissed her, so… Think you guys are dating right? “She asked me feeling nervous.

“No, no, no, I… Ermmm… ”

“You don’t have to bother at all,

I only like you as a brother and nothing else “she said smiling but I didn’t find it funny,

“As a brother? ”

“Yes as a brother ”

Tbc

Omg!!

Brother ke? 😣😣😣
