i fell in love ,a story by toyin taiwo

Episode 4



When he left, Wemmy couldn’t get the flashes of
the kiss out of her head, her brain was just
running, playing and replaying the scene
continuously. It was as if she has never been
kissed before all her life. She doesn't need a
sooth sayer to tell her she's deeply in love with
him. She bursted into tears again and this time
not for herself but for Emmanuel, this guy love
her like kilode. Feranmi is right, they should just
leave things d way they are now.
****
Despite the fact that they didn’t see each other
in weeks, Feranmi's love for Wemmy grows
stronger and stronger, truth be told that kiss did
not help matter at all, he couldn’t get it off his
head. He broke up with his girlfriend last section
based on the fact that he caught her cheating on
him, I mean he cut her in the act, while will he
do such a thing to another guy, he knows how
how it felt to be betrayed by someone you love.
He did not want Wemmy to turn out to be like
his ex. He did not want to be the cause of
separation between her and her boyfriend. But
he loves her to the bone, He saw her clearly in
his future, he saw her as someone who will be in
his life for a very long time.
" I’m stuck here. God please help me, your word
says he who finds a wife finds a good thing and
obtain favour from the Lord" he said to himself.
Wemmy is sure a wife material, that he is sure
of, It's know it’s not written on the forehead, but
if you get to know her, then you will wish to have
some one like her in your life.

Feranmi was surprised when he saw her in front
of his door, he just came back from school and
was about to shower when she showed up.
“Wemmy ! What in God’s name are you doing
here” Feranmi questioned
“Will you let me in first”
“Emmanuel is not back from school”
“Of course I know that, just let me in”
He gestured her to come in before closing the
door behind her. He offered her a sit but she
declined.
"Gosh i miss her, its been weeks we saw each
other" he thought within himself.
“I told you we have to maintain our distance for
now, till we put this feelings behind us” Feranmi
said pacing up and down the room.
“And is that helping you? Cos it’s not helping me.
Exams is starting in 2weeks and I’m loosing
concentration already I’ve never carried any
course over and we both know that this is not a
good time to experience one, so I need my
concentration back and this disappearing act of
yours is not helping matters”
“OK, no more disappearing act,hun!
“Promise?”
“I promise” He covered the space between them
with a stride, he hugged her and kiss her on the
forehead.
“Feranmi, I’m not saying we should start a
relationship but I want our friendship back,
imagine we don’t even have each other’s phone
no and I know u did that on purpose too”
“Give me your number if that will make you
happy” he said and they both exchanged
numbers.
“So how was your day? She asked now in a
happy mood.
“It was fine, yours?”
“Stressful”
“But not too stressful for you to come down
here, he said jokingly.
“Wait! What are you feeling like” she said trying
to frown
“Easy, where is your sense of humour, I’m just
joking, in fact I’m glad you came, you made my
day complete”
“ Hmm, men and ego, anyway I’m leaving, enjoy
the rest of your evening”
Wemmy got a call from Feranmi later in the
evening, he promise to check on her before the
week runs out. They do chat on WhatsApp as
well, She now sleeps well this days and now she
concentrated better on her exams and project.
He came during the week as he promised and
they were back on their gisting mode. He told
her about his ex and she realized while he’s
been fighting the feeling he has for her. There
and then Wemmy made up her mind.
"Feranmi, I won’t jeopardize my happiness for
anyone or anything, this is my life and I think I
now know what I want.
" Wemmy......
“I’m breaking up with him”
“What ! He shouted almost spilling the drink I
served him
“I’m going to break up with Emmanuel” she
repeated
herself.
“I heard you the first time, where did that come
from”
“Except you don’t want me”
“Come off it, you know how badly I want you but
I don’t want to be selfish, he loves you Wemimo”
“More reasons why I’d rather break up with him
than cheat on him. Feranmi, I’m not that kind of
a girl, I wasn’t brought up that way, I can’t cheat
so it’s better to end things with him. I’m talking
about my future here, the person I’ll spend the
rest of my life with.
“Oluwawemimo,like your name implies I don’t
want anything to tanish your name, let’s not rush
things here.
“I’m not rushing things. Here is my decision, I’ll
wait till we finish our exams and project defence
before I break the news to him. I mean I’ll have
to do it before we leave school finally.
“Wemimo people will crucify us”
“We’ll cross the bridge when we get there and I
believe our love we see us through, Feranmi”
