Wait, you didn't mean what you just said, do you?" Annie questioned the look on her face, amazingly funny.
I gasped, the picture of Dean's succulent lips on mine. The feeling sent shivers down my spine, I could feel goosebumps on my body as I explained it to Annie "I mean it" I said, taking a long breath "we kissed".
I have tried so hard to believe I did that. My heart beat increased and I could feel it hammering my chest.
"I can't believe it," Annie said, stuttering a few words which I paid no attention to.
Placing my right hand on my chest, I made to stand up using the wardrobe as a guard, "I'm having trouble believing it also"
I walked over to the freezer that was placed at the right end corner of the room, opening it, I brought out a bottle of water, then poured some into a glass, I walked over to the bed where Annie sat facepalming herself, presumably in shock of what I told her.
I gulped down the glass of water, placed the empty glass on the reading table next to my bed, and gazed at Annie.
Why was she quiet all of sudden?
I thought she would be glad, it was what she has always wanted for me.
"Why are you silent?" I asked, puzzled by her facial expression.
She remained muted. Her face was still buried in her palm.
I moved toward her with a slight shift on the bed, my right hand went for her shoulders "Are you not happy for me?" I asked.
Yet, she didn't move or even speak up.
𝑵𝒐𝒘 𝑰'𝒎 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒅
I continued, my right hand still on her shoulders "If you are not happy, then I can give him a no, I can't compromise my friendship with you for a relationship."
Deeply, I knew I have fallen for Dean but if Annie isn't happy with it, I will try to kill the feelings I have for him.
Annie stood erect, interrupting my thoughts with a tight hug, the tears streaming down her face dropped on my back.
My hands went for her back as I slowly patted them "I won't date him".
My brain sent painful signals as I unleashed those words, I do love Dean and I want to date him but Annie...
Annie paused for a moment before breaking the hug, she held my shoulders with her both hands, her eyes staring deeply into mine " Why?" She asked.
My brows raised in confusion at her question, 𝒘𝒉𝒚, 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕? She noticed the confusion in my eyes.
"Why won't you date him? Huh!" She queried, her cheek suddenly forming a wrinkle.
"Because you don't approve of it, I met you before him" I replied
A smile curved her lips, returning her beauty, "Wow! So you didn't get the logic?"
"Wait, what logic?" I asked.
She grinned, then pulled me to her body once again "I'm happy for you girl, I am"
"But the tears..."
She broke the hug, her face blooming with smiles, "It was nothing but a joyful one."
"You got me scared, I thought you were..."
"I wasn't and never would be, it's your happiness sweetheart," she said cupping my cheek, "I can't ruin that for you".
I stared at her, why is she being weird? Maybe it's in her blood.
She readjusted herself, her legs folded on the bed and yet another sweet smile plastered on her face. "Now enough of this moodiness, tell me how the kiss was, the reaction from people, the feeling, the sen..."
"I will say everything but first I need to get something for my stomach, the worms are dancing" I blurted out.
"Not now," she said in a sad tone.
I stood up, blew a kiss to her, and headed towards the kitchen, "I won't say it if you don't come to help me" I exclaimed.

The ringing sound from my phone woke me up from my nap, I checked the number and it was from an unknown caller.
"What does he wants again?" I hissed while ignoring the call.
Haven't he done enough already, breaking my friendship with Allie was the last thing I expected? I understand her pain and I hope she understands mine too, I was just helpless and nothing at all.
My phone rang again and it was still him, I angrily picked up the call and before he could say a word, I yelled out "Excuse me, you fucking son of a bitch, you want to use me as bait to achieve your so-called goals but you know what I'm tired of it, do your worst"
"Muahahaha" the voice echoed from the background.
𝑰𝒔 𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒂𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒈𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒎𝒆?
"I'm not kidding" I screamed, "I'm damn fucking serious. I'm tired of your nonsense, find another person. One more call from you, I will do what I know best" I fumed, my face turning red as I abruptly ended the call.
He has done enough, and I won't hesitate to hire detectives who would trace his location if he dares do anything funny.
A beep from my phone came afterward, interrupting my thoughts. It was a message from him. I opened it and it was a video message. My hands trembled as I clicked on them and their content surfaced.
I watched in pain, as the video of my mother and brother surfaced. Their hands and legs were tied to an iron chair, their mouth tied with a piece to prevent them from screaming.
He walked over to them, his face on a mask as he removed the piece used to cover my mum's mouth. He pulled her hair and I watched her scream in pain. A Flood of tears streamed down her cheeks. Her eyes were all bloodshot.
I ended the video abruptly. I dialed his number and he picked up the first ring.
"That was way too fast, baby girl" his resounding bass voice echoed.
"What have you done to my family?" I asked, tears gushing down my face.
"Nothing much sweetheart" he paused for a moment then continued "but if there's any delay in my work, I bet I'll do something"
My voice seized. I was struck dumb with astonishment. What is it that he wants?
"What do you want?" I said finally gathering some strength.
"Simple" he exhaled. "I want Allie."
"You want her? How? Why?" I asked stunned by his statement. "Do you want her to be yours by all means?"
"Muahahaha," he laughed. "I don't want her to be mine," he said, then mumbling some words in the background, he continued "I want her out of Dean's life for good."
I was shocked and bewildered by the statement. Why would he want her out of Dean's life when she hasn't even entered.
"But she's not in Dean's life" I replied.
He started laughing, this time louder than the first. What was funny?
"I thought you are a high-class girl, who deals with the net, how come you haven't heard?"
"Heard what?"
"Dean and Allie are dating. They are fucking dating and it angers me a lot" he said, his tone changing in a minute, "so I want you to get her out of Dean's life"
"Are you kidding me right now? How am I supposed to do that? She broke our friendship already"
"Figure out a way and make it snappy," he said and ended the call.
I sat in silence. The cellphone dropped from my hand to the bed. My mum is involved, I could do anything to save her.
"What am I to do now?" I thought, pacing to and fro in the room.
An idea struck my mind and went back to bed, sitting down, I grinned at the thought of my newfound idea.
"This is perfect" I screamed.
