Since when did love become fear??? Brad was scared, scared out of his wit. 

He drove as fast as he could, shutting off every thought of her being in trouble. She was his world, his everything...she became his desire to live. Without her he was as good as  dead.

Finally Brad arrived at the park, with no sight of her around. Where could she be?? God let her be safe, Brad rarely prayed but that was his only prayer tonight .  

He stood there for a moment, wearing his head out with thoughts of where she could have gone. Nothing popped up, even when he silently stared at the stars for an answer it was a mere waste of time.
"Reginah!!!! Reginah!!! Baby talk to me. Reginah!!! Regin...ah..."

In silence, his heart was sobbing  repeatedly wishing she could appear out of nowhere.  Suddenly he heard some soft sobs at first he ignored thinking it was  just some random drunk girl who had been dumped at a party.

With keenness and much concentration the sobs were familiar. It sounded like her. The keeper of his heart, his chocolate girl, his reginah, his all.

Brad ran towards the direction of the sobs, it was her. She stood near the Love lake , this time sobbing even harder.

. Let me just brief you, this lake is believed to bring lovers together or make people fall in love. Thus the name Love lake. 

Maybe it was destiny playing the hero shit on him and his baby. Dear destiny, bring it on am ready. Brad thought to himself..

"Baby, its your Brad am here. Hope I didn't keep you waiting." Brad shouted with excitement running towards her.
"Stop Brad, don't come closer..I don't wanna live anymore." She said sobbing harder and louder.

That was not the response Brad expected. He was shocked by her words as they slowly registered in his skull.

"What about your Brad??? Don't you care about me?? What shall become of me without you??? If you wanna die, take me with you. I won't let you go alone to the other world." Brad cried out taking few unnoticed steps towards her.

"My mom betrayed me Brad. In a split of a second she forgot our promise to each other. Nothing mattered, my sacrifices didn't matter. She doesn't love me. Everyone I love always leaves." 

Brad's teeth hardened by her words. 

In a split of a second she tripped almost falling in the lake but Brad  was there holding her hand staring at her warm eyes that made his heart beat at a zigzag pattern. He didn't know how he reached for her hand but he wasn't willing to let her go..."Did you think I will let you leave me??! Never.."

Quickly he pulled her onto his chest, holding her so tight that he was sure she couldn't breath.
"I will never let you leave me. I love you more than life itself..."

At first she was as stiff as a rock but gave into his embrace finally. She was letting out a choked cry like it was forced up her throat, she was in pain.

"What's wrong baby," Brad  pulled her back and stared into her eyes. She looked away trying so hard to fight the tears that were now flowing with no pause.
"I understand if you don't want to talk about it," Brad whispered taking her back into his embrace. 

"I will always be here, always and forever.." Brad assured raking his hands through her hair, his cheek lightly placed on the back of her head.

"Why didn't you let me die???" She asked rubbing his back in circles.
"How can I let you die before marrying me and having lots of babies??? I wasn't planning to die either, I am still young. Never pull that stunt on me again or else I will die." Brad stated as she pulled back laughing.

"Sweet you," Reginah  chuckled pinching his nose, "Promise you will never leave me, ever??? Promise??? Promise you will always chose me." Reginah took his hand and placed it on her head.

"My ancestors promised your ancestors before you were even born," Brad placed a soft kiss on her forehead.

"I love you Brad, you are my strength. You are the other side of my soul. I don't know what would have happened if you didn't come to......" Brad placed  his finger on her lips cutting her short.

He passionately kissed her which felt right, he had heard kisses wash away pain.

She softly touched her lips with her fingers as tears flowed down. Quickly Brad wiped them with his calloused finger," You have cried enough for the night."

"Yah, thanks baby.

. I will always love you and that kiss made me feel slightly better.I promise I will tell you everything soon." She assured, cupping his face. It was indeed love lake.

Brad looked down and noticed she had one shoe on. Her foot looked bruised.
"What happened baby?" Brad enquired feeling worried. He  scooted to look at it.

"Long story, leave it!!" She coldly  answered looking away. She could act stubborn with anyone else but not Brad.

Without further questioning Brad carried her in his arms and she snaked her arms around his neck. Her face lightly placed on his chest, she carried her to the car.

She silently looked as he disinfected her foot and bandaged it. 

He received unpredictable hug and a light kiss which made his heart shift positions.  That girl really had an effect on him, a positive one. She made his life move in circles in a rapid motion. 

Brad unbuckled her seatbelt,  pulled her to him and sat her on his lap while they talked about nothing.

He pushed all the feeling of kissing and cuddling with her down his belly, he felt  it wasn't the right time. He was always a patient man.

"Are you still in pain after yesterday???" Brad asked shyly.
"Do I look like am in pain???" Reginah got back to her seat.
"You look like a mess thou.." Brad teased, placing his hand on hers on her lap.

"Can I crush at your place for a while??"she asked giving Brad her sad puppy eyes.

His blood was filled with excitement that he was afraid it might burst out. He was glad she was back in their house, no matter the circumstances.

It was unlike her to crush at his place without him pleading. Something was definitely wrong but  all that mattered is that she was there with him. And together they would conquer the world.

"Welcome back home baby."
