TWITTER LOVE 4

Charles got me so glued to my phone for the past one week, I would wake up to a message from him and go to bed after wishing ourselves goodnight, he was so fun chatting with, we chatted about a lot of things, he made me laugh most times even when I was at work, Shade would ask me what was making me amuse and I'd tell her that it was something hilarious I read on twitter. I preferred not to tell her or anyone about Charles who was slowly becoming my knight in shining armor.

A day came that he didn't text me all day, it was on a Wednesday, I was so worried, anyone could see on my face that something wasn't right with me, the school I was teaching was going to be on a midterm break for the next two days and I wondered if I was going to spend the whole break and weekend without talking with him at all. 

"What was wrong with him?" 

"Did he realize I was not his kind of girl anymore?" 

"Has someone else gotten his attention?" 

I kept on asking myself these questions, we haven't exchanged numbers yet so there weren't any other means to reach out to him only to wait till he replied my messages on twitter, that's if he was ever going to. 

Fortunately, he did early the next morning, I was lying on the couch when I heard my phone beep as a sign that I have a new message, I got hold of my phone and found out that the message was from Charles, I was so relieved that I sent a long message of how worried he made me feel, he apologized saying he had an issue at work was the reason he kept mute, I wasn't satisfied with the excuse he gave and still expressed my feelings over chats and he replied with

"I'm so sorry baby, I didn't know I had so much effect on you, you know what, let me have your number so I could call to apologize further"

I typed my number in a hurry, I've actually been waiting for him to ask for my number, I didn't want to be the one to make the request and then his call came I picked and said "Hello"

"Hello beautiful, this is Charles" 

His voice! oh, his voice! was heavenly his voice was as sweet as I thought it would be, I did not only love the way he chats with me, I loved the way he spoke. 

"I know it's you Charles" I said obviously feeling very nervous

"So I'm calling to apologize, don't mind my silly behavior of not texting you I'm sorry" He said with so much gentleness 

"I've heard you, I'm no longer pissed" 

"That makes me glad, so how was your night?" 

Charles wanted to talk further, I wanted that too so I told him to call me back, I wanted to go somewhere private to have a smooth conversation with him without My Aunt or my Cousins listening to me, he complied and cut the call. 

In less than an hour, he called me back. Our conversation on phone was on point, we talked like real friends that have known each other for years, the vibe was great, he said a not so funny joke but I laughed so hard and stoped to meet an awkward silence.

"Hello Charles, are you there?" I asked 

"I'm here babe" 

There was another silence which was interrupted by him when he said 

"I think I like you Enitan", Did he just say that, I asked myself 

"You think?" I asked him 

"I don't think, I know I do, this past few days that I've known you, some things have changed about me, I feel something for you, I truly do, but who knows if you feel likewise" He told me and I remained on the phone quiet "Eni, did I say something I shouldn't have said?" 

"No no......It's just that......" I stammered, words failed me that moment

"You don't feel the same way right, why? I'm not your kind of guy right, or is it that you don't fall for someone you meet on social media?"

What the heck was he saying, someone that I've fallen for a long time ago........I didn't know whether to tell him I felt the same way or I should just ignore what he said and change the topic.

"It's okay if you don't like me, I'll understand" He continued, all I did was to smile

"Well, I actually feel the same way, you make happy whenever I talk to you, I look forward to seeing your messages anytime I wake up, it's funny how I think about you all day even in my sleep", I told him with all sincerity, I didn't know how this words came out of my mouth, but I was damn serious about it. he made me feel just the way I mentioned. 

"Wow, wow, really, I can't believe this. you know what Eni, we need to seal this" he sounded so excited over the phone 

"Seal it how" 

"Let's meet" 

"Hmmm.....Don't you think it's rather......." I was interrupted by him 

"I know what you want to say, rather too early for us to meet right, but hell no babe, It's not, we have a unique connection and I think there's absolutely nothing early about us meeting, we owe ourselves that"

"Alright, I agree" He sounded so serious and I had to comply "My free day is Saturday" 

"Saturday is fine by me" 

Saturday was two days away and it looked like two years away, my body and soul wanted to see him so badly, my emotions were raging with fire at the thought of getting physical with the guy that has gotten my heart so busy feeling what love is, oh yes I was hopelessly in love with Charles, he became my twitter lover.
