Anna (A love story; Episode 2)

The horn of the car was enough to set Anna's heart ablaze, why was she so scared? She wondered What suddenly seemed wrong about a party with friends? Either ways, she waited for sandy to come in and if any complaints about her revealing gown came up, she would just slip in the other gown waiting just on the bed to save her.

Then, the knock came gently on the door, no way, it wasnt sandy, she woulda bagged in, Anna waited but no one showed up for the first few seconds then a blonde hair popped out slowly, then a white face of a guy who seemed like a 24 years old, but could pass for a teenager with his innocent eyes and lost look then his whole body popped out; beautiful broad chest, just like Eduardo's, but this one looked like a fallen angel, like a three layer delicious fluffy coconut cake with chocolate drippings and caramel popcorn toppings.

His blue eyes called for Anna but they didn't hold the compelling emotions and beauty that were always in eduardo's eyes, beauty compared to a sleeping princess.

Eduardo's eyes were a dark brown, quite unusual with it's tilting shape such that each time he looked into Ana's eyes, she swore her love anew. There was only one beautiful memory you had of him, in all the four years of their cold relationship. Anna went on a memory lane.

"This is love? Is this love? Ed, I have had enough of this one-sided love, is three years not enough to love me? When will you love me, how long do I have to wait?" Anna wailed, for once loosing her cool.

That evening, her chest bore the pain for eduardo's sin. She punched mercilessly as if they would take away the wetness she felt between her thighs that called for his touch despite her anger.

"Anna!" Eduardo had screamed as if he was standing a thousand mile away from her.

"Why, Tell me you love, Tell me you love"

It came as a plea, an order, a demand but Eduardo said nothing all he did was stare with those dark brown eyes of his, that winked helplessly, while he panted heavily

When it dawned on her that he wasnt going to say anything, she let out a loud shriek and stormed out.

She was done, yes, that was all that occupied her mind as she took a cab home but on getting to her hostel, it seemed like a dark abyss devoid of any form of living, then she finally succumbed to her thought of calling eduardo.

Once he answered the call, she began to sob, he said nothing but Anna could hear his breathing lightly from the receiver. She never knew loving him could sting this much. She had met him in the hospital for years ago where she fell in love with him at first sight.

Hours later she woke up and realized the call was on for over four hours and he had just ended it 30 minutes ago. Did he wait up to hear her light breathing as she slept or he never even listened, he dozed off, woke up 30 minutes okay, found out that the call was still on and ended it.

"Anna" Anna heard Liam gasped out distracting her from her thoughts.

"Don't call me Anna" It was almost like a cry for help.

Few of Anna's classmates called her Ann, removing the last "a" while the rest called her pinky all because of sandy and as for "Anna" that was for eduardo. It was like a seal. Like the smell of earth after the first rain, it felt like stars on earth.

"It's Ann"

"I checked facebook, It's Anna, Anna Wells" Liam protested.

Anna had locked the door when Liam reached for her hands, she struggled but he wouldn't let go.

"You are my date tonight" He said, holding her even tighter.

Roxy, Sandy's bf kicked the car just as they got in, despite sandy's noise and jeerings about the party, she just couldn't hide her excitement, just yesterday, she had told Anna she was finally ready to get her cherry popped and she was getting it tonight.

Sandy, 19, slim, brunette, naughty, the sweetest thing to happen to anyone. She hadn't really been a fan of relationships and had kept several friends until she met roxy, a music producer a years ago on one of her numerous parties, if Roxy went on his knees today, Sandy was sure to say yes.

Now, all of their life experiences filled Anna up, while her ear once in a while picked up little of sand's noises.

Anna had reached slowly for her phone and typed "Tell me you miss me, she waited few minutes before finally sending to Eduardo.

The journey to Roxy's house was about two hours, waiting for Eduardo's message it seemed like an eternity, slowly Anna drifted into a sleep, and as if the tag "Don't wake me up" was posted on her forehead, no one dared to wake her not to talk of Roxy's constant complaint all through the journey of how he thought Anna looked sick.

Roxy and Sandy went in with Liam promising to bring Anna in once she was up.

Anna had slept for over five hours and it was past midnight before she finally stirred...

"Ann" Liam called.

"You" Anna responded, lifting her head from his shoulder, wondering when she fell asleep on him.

"Who is Eduardo. You won't stop calling him in your sleep"

Anna jerked. She reached for her phone, a yelp followed. There was no text message but a missed call.

"He called" she yelped more, perspiration forming on her face.

"You were asleep"

Liam watched as she dialled with trembling hands.

"That's the 10th time you are dialing. He is likely asleep" Liam said pledging to himself to kiss away her pain if she dared to dial again, and then she did.

Without a second thought, he grabbed her phone, leaned forward and tilted her head, but it wasnt like he expected, he had thought she would resist but rather her lips parted pleadingly, irrationally, he could feel her chew his lips like a cry for leniency and love.

"Eduardo" She heard him say, before he tasted something salty, her tears.

"It's Liam. It's Liam" He said, feeling the crushing power of love crushing him, pulling him from all sides.

It was powerful and merciless just like it felt with christine, his ex who died, failing to keep all of their promises of always and forever.

Here he was again, falling.. Falling, being a victim of love and it's pangs, falling powerfully, helplessly....

Yeah! That was it! he broke the kiss, panting heavily and there they sat staring into eachother's naked eyes lost in emptiness.
