“That was Katie you saw me with, you have always known her, she is my classmate and I really don’t understand why you would think I date anyone I talk with.” David calmly respond.

This was all on the way, as they were heading towards David’s lodge outside the school hostel. Not too much of a distance.

David unlocked the door, opened it for her to walk in, then just closed it behind him. As he was moving into the room from the sitting room, Gloria held him back by the hand,

“Just forget it all this, please. I just don’t want to lose my friend,” Gloria calmly replied.

“Doing this would make you lose me. You are my friend, okay? That won’t change, even when I later get married.” David touched her shoulder and gave her a warm smile while looking into her eyeballs.

The pain was evident in Gloria’s eyes the moment David mentioned marriage. David felt it too.

Still holding her shoulder, David gave her a gentle but firm squeeze while Gloria allowed herself into David’s arm and broad shoulder. She could hear his heartbeats, and David held her closer on her waist with his left hand, while running his fingers on her hair with the right.

After few minutes, they sat down and she carefully placed her head on his broad shoulder, and he couldn’t take his hand off her slick black long hair. While they were seated, she lifted her head, looked him straight in the eyes, and tilted to kiss him, he instantly moved to meet her halfway, but they were brought back to reality and consciousness with a knock at the door. You could feel the anger in David’s voice when he asked who was at the door.

“It’s me David” came out the voice. The voice was tender, calm and familiar. David knew that was Stacey’s voice, so he asked her to open the door. Stacey walked in with Luke, and the four friends exchanged pleasantries while they sat down.

David turned the T.V. on but he couldn't take his eyes off Gloria as she was laughing at the comedy they were all watching (He still wouldn't force Gloria to do what she doesn't want to do. He still keeps faint hope that she might accept him but it has to come from her, not him).

Luke was engrossed in the comedy too, and Stacey kept admiring how amazing Luke was as he was laughing incessantly. She caught David a few times as he was staring at Gloria while giving a warm wry smile.

It was getting late, and they all have to leave. Stacey and Luke stood up and Gloria followed too. Gloria was pulled back unknowingly to others while they walked through the door. David touched her hair again, Gloria smiled.

“I have to go now, it is getting really late,” Gloria said.

“I know, I just want to wish you a proper good night,” he winked.

“First time in a long while you will do that,” she teased.

“Better late than never, right?” David winked.

They both moved closer to give each other a “proper” good night when Luke barged in again.

“Sorry guys, I forgot my key,​” Luke said.

“It’s all good. Let me join Luke and Stacey once and for all," Gloria said.

She left with him, and David could imagine his heart trying to pop out of his chest. He slammed the door and sank into his chair, sad and angry!

So it seems Gloria is all of the sudden expressing her feelings for David when she realized He was about to move on to another relationship. This evidently backs the claim that ladies love what they can't have. She was busily telling David he is not his type when He was chasing after her for two years, but suddenly David becomes her type just when He is about to move on.

Hahahaha another lovely analysis by you. You always think through. Good one. That's how we humans are sometimes. Fear of missing out sometimes set in..

Thanks a whole lot.

What's wrong with Luke now?

Why he's doing this? Why is he spoiling the show for David after waiting for over two years for things like this to happen now? Lol

Your presence has caused David and Gloria two golden opportunities to pour their hearts, they really want to say something (I don't know and I don't want to guess)...lol

I don't wish to have a friend like Luke in a day like this or what is he doing in my hostel when he should stay in his hostel and read..... Smile

Now, I'm sensing something, still not ready to alter it, I don't want to guess at all, I want to enjoy every line of this story.

Open letter to nollywood, Ghallywood, Hollywood, Bollywood and the like, stop scratching your head in writing love stories, come to @olawalium, lol
I've never seen this part of him, that's my surprise.... Lol

Hahahahaha never seen this part of me too brother, and i am really enjoying the twist.

Luke is a bad friend hahahaha and maybe it is divine intervention Lmao!.

Thanks for your comment and kind words. Always appreciated.

Luke is a bad friend hahahaha and maybe it is divine intervention Lmao!.

It's better we don't guess so as not to spoil the next part... Lol

Stay awesome bro

Luke is a bad friend hahahaha and maybe it is divine intervention Lmao!.

It's better we don't guess so as not to spoil the next part... Lol

Stay awesome bro

I leave the guess work to you as always. Hahaha. Next part can never be ruined, it's all planned out. Thanks for the concern. Enjoy.

Lol, OK ooo. Longing to see it.

Missing a part of it is like missing an episode of super story... Lol

Amazing love story

I know Gloria love him but don't know why she keep wasting time. Her heart broke when she saw her with another lady which shows she can't afford to loose him.

Waiting for 3

a very romantic, sensitive story, I want to know the continuation

Do you read the first part?
If you don't, I implore you to read it.... Hahahah

Thank you. Like he said, try and read the first part if you haven't.

It hurts to keep trying hard to get his heart, to create the best possible relationship, to give attention, energy, and time to people who have obviously never appreciated the rewards we have made for happiness.

If all you have done but he still does not respect you, instead you should decide to stay away, because it is still nearby will only make you beg and do many ways to be loved.

You may still love him to obey your will even if he does not love you. You still give what you can give him even if you will not get anything. Go as far as possible from him, because no matter how hard your efforts will never be appreciated by him.

His disrespectful attitude is proof that he really wants you to disappear from him, but he does not reveal it because he does not have the heart to appreciate the person who loves. When he does not respect you, whatever you do he will not see. Instead he will only look at you low, like a slave who begs to remain enslaved rather than released. If all your efforts have been ignored by him, even if you are not given a chance to get his heart. You are given only one option, which is to save yourself from feeling the heartbreak of constantly thinking about people who do not think about you at all.

There's no reason for you to grieve just because he does not appreciate how sincere you love him. She does not know that not everyone will love her as much as you love her. Later he will regret when he realized that your sincerity is not easy to get. Do not wish her love someone who does not know how to treat someone who likes her. Rest assured, If in one day you will be reunited with someone who will always appreciate your whole life.
