Her Secret Lover - Episode 1

 

Graham:

Well let's start right before I started being her secret lover

Lois Roberts , she was my best friend , yea she sees me as that, but fact was I don't, I see her as a girl , an opposite s*x , or rather a woman, cause you can't just imagine how it felt like watching her grow into one,
How she developed those feminine collections, beautiful hips, round pretty face, and a perfect not too oversized b**bs...
We were neighbors, which meant, growing up together, going to school together,  practically our families are now one after living fifteen years as neighbours, which means we does most things together..
Lord she is so beautiful, i said to myself as she lounges across the pool from me, she was rubbing tanning oil down her lovely straight legs  , I'm not watching or anything I wouldn't do that, I wasn't her type ,I wasn't her dream man ,, maybe that was the excuse have been giving myself since we were kids.  

She always fantasies her man to be an alluring ladies killer type with dimpled cheeks, lovely abs, blue eyes ,long hairs and a body, fit and huge like Gorge foreman
...well i was the opposite of those, just a tall slim dude, with flat stomach, a faint six packs, short hair and, a grey eyes ...well am good looking but not just enough to her taste I guess and it always me so sick whenever she stares at guys who looks exactly like her dream man, I always find myself cursing at them whenever she reckless mentioned how they look hot ..

"gosh look at his abs graham he looks so hot, and f-cking huge......

Read " Cold But Charming " by the same author ( Op. Amina )

. "

It always takes me the will power not to go right ahead and scream at whomever she's admiring in the face ,,I would all but grit my teeth and clench my fist hard...

"Damn you f-cking guys with abs" that was my poem every night

I've always wanted to be perfect for her, be the type of man she wants ,,a type of man she crave and long for ..

. there was this time I had to go extra mile just to make her sees me as one,, I gym almost every day ,, I went to 'how to build abs' classes non stop, I let my hairs grow long, fix up a blue eye contact but she had only laughed at me as if I was a clown ... Seriously I had went to bed that day wishing the earth should round up and swallow me raw gosh I've never felt so embarrassed in my entire life,

" fact, you are fcking hot graham., i admit" she said giving me a level glance

"with the long hairs, blue eyes ,, upcoming biceps but Laura doesn't like her man this way, she loves you the way you are .....common man, go back to that graham she loves" she tapped me in the arm ,,and I had only gasp out watching her leave as if I was been hit by a trailer without any crashes whatsoever

Of course laura was one of her girl friends ,, she probably has a crush on me ,  the way she looks at me ,, talks and all ,, I noticed all her sexy stunts but hell I don't feel a slightest thing for her ..she is way too tall for my liking,,  a girl shouldn't be that tall ,,...Gosh if we were to get married and start having kids how was our female kids gonna be ,,nah her stature to me sucks  ....

I took a deep breath and drank from my beer, I push my sun glasses up further to my nose , leaning back on the longue chair and resting my elbow on the arm rest ...
Time seems to suspend as I took on the scene at a glance ,,
I was busy admiring her and had to swallow hard when  she looks back  waving at me to come join her

Gosh she knows nothing ,, she doesn't even know how much effect she is having on me now ,,..i stare down my short and hissed ...I hope I won't end up crossing the limit one day ,,

she trust me ,, she sees me more like a brother ,guess that has been what was holding me back before I started being her secret lover ...was that actually another one of my excuse not to tell her how much I love her ,, well I think it is...
we always sit up late at night while i
Listen to her never ending conversation on who she has been interacting with her on instant messaging... sending her messages , poetic letters.... And even going to an extra mile by dropping gifts at her door step ...

"Graham ,, I think the guy knew me so well ,, it might be one of those huge guys with long hairs in school am 100% sure"

God she is so obsessed ,, must it always be huge guys , who has long hairs ,, crap

,I would all but listen and give her my suggestions,, if only she knew I was the cat behind the bag ..., ..
I know its a  silly thing to do,, don't insult me yet ...I regretted it at first, but I see my self enjoying every bit of it ...

seriously it all started when I quoted a poem a year and half back..I sent it to her unknowingly ,, I cursed myself at first cause it was just some piece of my feelings I dropped down into writing and wanted to delete only to send it to her ...gosh
I had hurried to her room that night without saying hi to her parents nor to her siblings  hopping I might be able to get her laptop and delete before she reads it,, but it was too late there she was like an angel from mass reading it and smiling like a princess and my heart but swell with pride

"She loved it" I mussed to myself watching her with drooling mouth
I was glued to her door that night watching her hug her laptop to her heart ,, how she had kissed it  repeatedly and hurriedly sent her reply

"I really love the poem ,,but who are you ,, tell me who you are ,, I wanna know you... please reply soon ,, and my heart but fell into my hands when I read her replies ...

and that was how it stated ,,I couldn't help it ... me being her secret lover. ..with that i was able to express how i feel about her ,, how she means to me ,, how i love her so very much ,, we started at first from chatting  ...and one day just like that we graduated to calling on phone ,,i felt tensed at first cause I thought I was gonna get busted like ....

" graham I catch you ,, what's all this jokes all about"

But she didn't ,, instead we spoke like two world existing without no parallel lanes ....i felt as if I was being dragged to heaven and back with so many beautiful thoughts ...we talked like lovers ,, we said so many romantic stuff ..but I had to curse myself for lying ,, I don't know why I did it ,, probably not to get rejected I guess

Do I really suck that much?....don't say it I know I do ...

I didn't tell her my name ,, that was another part of it, if you are probably wondering whether i did I only said she can call me whatever name she wishes ...
And she had call me pete

"can I call you pete then" she said

That was, another intriguing part ... the way she calls me Pete ,,

Pete...in a phonetic tone,, that tiny voice of hers just makes it as exiting as it seems, well she says the name Pete always sounds sexy to her that was why she decided to call me that

The thought of that alone always sends an high intoxication to my senses ..

"Pete , are you tall you know ,, huge " she asked,,, that was our first conversation on phone and it had struck me broad chest ,, heart pounding in double as I fight on the thought of telling her about my real self ...maybe she might like me instead ..but I fucked it all up

"Yes, I am huge ,, with a broad shoulder you could have imagined " I lied knowing that I am tall but not huge

" wao thats nice ,,what are the colors of your eyes "

" blue" I replied knowing that I had gray eyes gosh am such a freak

"And how is your hair like..."

"I have long hairs ,, black actually " God were are this coming from another lie knowing that I had short hair...you've gat to tell her the truth now graham...
Now now now I mean now ...

"Really wao pete ,, you know I love guys with long hairs , especially "

"I actually have a body like gorge forman you know" I cut off her next question and smile .....

My God who said that ,, that's purposely not me

" wooooo, you must be f-cking hot " I heard her scream behind the phone and all I did was smile and laugh ,, that night we talked about me ,, and it was so good cause I felt like I was swimming  in the ocean with so many fishes and sharks ..did I say sharks...well that's how far her love had went beyond what I could imagine

that night I really felt pity for my pillow cause I had squeezed it so hard to my chest ,, with thousand kisses all at once imagining it was her in front of me

"Hey man aren't you going to practice "

I stare back to meet with the eye brow lift smiling expression on Justin's face ,,
You might wondering which practice ,, well have been dancing for years ,,and we practice like this especially
around this time of the year...interschool competition is announced for the junior high ,,although I was already in senior ,, but have been the best so far so have always been the one representing them ,, fact was without me they just wouldn't win .
Well Justin has been one of my crew member, whom I happen to find out he lives ten blocks away from me three years back,although he is still in junior high ,but the fact that we dance together makes us automatically friends ...

"What's there to practice about Justin, you guys go ahead ,, today am too damn weak to do anything not to talk of dance"

"Get up man huh you've been bringing the same kind of excuses since two days back " Justin said from behind me ,I stare back at him this time he was wearing this kind of frustrated expression ,
I gulp back my beer and dropped the bottle

"Alright you win"

I stood and wave at Lois ...

Hey my love I wanted to say but I had to swallowed it back ,,

"Hey Lois, I'm off to practice "

"Alright see you tonight" she called back..

I saw justin move , a creak of His shoe , a whoosh of air and finally a fragment sigh ,, I knew what he did ,, that was dance code 384 I was suppose return my moves but I didn't  ..

" Jesus man ,, you are supposed to return that moves ,, how can you just let it go "

I ignored him ,,hands inside my pocket i moved inside at the same time as he hurried to catch up with me..

"What's wrong with you man ,, you've been acting all sick throughout this week, this is about a girl right "

" nothing is wrong with me Justin, and no its not about a girl "

I dash up the stairs and hurried to my room ,, the sound of Justin's loud voice from downstairs made me realise he already got him self occupied with my siblings ,, we were three ,, am the first with two brothers ,,I mean stubborn brother who scatter every where all day long..
Maybe that was why mum loves Lois alot because she's a girl and my mum is surrounded by boys I mean it, all day long she is surrounded by boys. She is into selling of cosmetics and also a make up artist  and happens to be the mother of three sons ,, so it's
like boys , boys ,boys everywhere. ,,,
I changed into my dancing cloths ,, hung my small bag to my shoulder ,,, and went ahead to spray some perfume

"Why take forever to get ready man,, we are late"

" I'm done okay"

I was about grabbing my phone when it let out a ring ...

"You see the crew is calling "

I hissed and picked it up only to get struck by a pounding heart ...my eyes got huge when I heard her voice ,, she doesn't call during the day ,, ..

" who is it " Justin said almost screaming ,,I had to shut his damn mouth up before hurrying into my bathroom ...

"Hey" I said softly

" hi Pete"

" you know have been thinking of something since last night ,, you know I just wanted to let you know I have a male friend actually ...a best friend to be precise his name is graham ,, I just decided its high time you talk to him you know ,,its been a year and half now "

At the sound of that , all airs around me became struck ,,

" oh....yea...I mean ....of course " I frowned

" what the fuck are you doing in there man ,, we are late " Justin banged on my door ,, and all I did was curse at him ...

"Son of a nut"

" I'm on my way to his room now ,, and whats that sound underneath "

" nothing" I said as i projected back to what she said before

"You what,, you are on your way to his ....."

" graham " all of a sudden I heard her voice coming inside of my room

With a rapid breath my eyes drifted to my bathroom door as she bang on it ,,

"Graham open up,, Pete he is here?"

My wide eyes ate holes straight through the door and it just felt as if the world had fell like a stone and bounced on none but my head.

" i....i......a minute please"

I had to cover my phone tight with my hand so she won't hear...
Damn what am I gonna do ?
