I felt a bit of pity for Janet even though I was blinded by my love for Ada. Asides her pompous and overbearing attitude, she was a sweet girl and did care a lot about me.
She came to my house the following day and i was alone. She seemed to have changed over night. She looked humbled and tired, her eyes were a shade of red and her face wasn't so bright as before. Believe me, i wasn't so happy this was happening but it was all pity that i felt, if love was ever in the equation, i will guess its so small to be consequential. She had sat and stared at me with pity in her eyes.

"What happened Quin, who is that girl?" she had asked me
"Her name is Ada, i met her the last time i travelled to my village and she is right now living in this town" i didn't believe i was giving her the details, it only went further to prove how deep i was into Ada and i was ready to show her to the world.
"Quincy is there nothing left between us, is there Nothing i can do to get you back to me? " she asked.
Dumping her the way i did was wicked in a way but giving her the answer to that question would be straight heartless of me. I didn't know what to do or say. I went over to her and hugged her. She held me tight and sniffed.
" Just know i didn't expect this to happen, we met and fell for each other and there was nothing we could do"
"You could have remembered that someone loved you and was waiting for you to come back, Quincy just have it in mind that you hurt someone that loved and cared about you, i won't forget that". She said and left. I can't say i need her forgiveness because i didn't think i did anything wrong. I didn't exactly woo her or asked her to be my girl, back then everyone was after her in school because it seemed she was the next big thing, she was the queen of the school and all the guys wanted her but she wanted none of them. She was a girl that knew what she wants and wouldn't hesitate to go for it. That was how she got  close to me, she obviously was digging me but i needed her just to brag to my friends with her. She was a girl you could take to any party. That was how we kicked off.

I met Ada later in the evening. When her aunt had left for the hospital and her husband wasn't back yet. I needed to see her to get out of the mood Janet put me in.
"I don't like the way my uncle looks at me" she told me as we strolled around.
"What? He doesn't like you" i asked
"No, he looks at me like he wants to eat me" she said and we laughed
"So he is eyeing you? " i asked
" I think so, just yesterday when my aunt was still out, he was asking me if he could help me carry my waist as if it was heavy"
"Hmmm, tell him that I'm strong enough to carry it for you" i said and she hit me on my arm.
"Don't be silly, I'm just avoiding him for now, i don't know why boys are always looking at me whenever they are around me"
"Its because you are beautiful"
"I don't like it, it makes me feel like i'm wearing my cloth upturned and i may trip and fall one day from their looks."
I held her hand and squeezed it, she squeezed back and kissed her on the forehead.
"I love you, just know that no one will ever love you more than i do" i said and she hugged me.
"I love you too "
" I'm lucky to have you, can i help you carry your waist?" i asked smiling.
"Its yours "she said as as i lifted her off the ground.
