Meant To Be

Chapter Fourteen

Paul and Fred had invited me to the club that Friday night so as to cheer up my dull spirit. We got to the Soundbar club around 8:30pm and it was filled with students. I mean, they were everywhere. We moved to the VIP section which was less crowdy.

Ladies and guys were dancing, making out, drinking and having all sorts of fun. We sat down at one of the seats closest to the bar area as Paul called some girls. In a few minutes, the girls arrived.

Paul wore a blue jean and a white polo shirt with a nice Fila footwear. Fred almost wore the same thing too but Fred's own was an oversized Gucci sweatshirt.

Then I saw Favour.

She wore a black slim fitted jean with a white crop top. Her hair fell across her shoulders and a short gold chain hung around her neck. My heart began to race again.

Our eyes met but I quickly pretended to look at my shoes, Stupid me.

"Timmy, will you be okay on your own for a while?" Paul asked as his one night stand girl kept begging him for a dance.

I didn't want to be an hindrance to their fun so I quickly nodded, "sure"

Fred gave me an apologetic look and I smiled

"Go on," I urged  him

Well, Fred also left with his girl too leaving me with just Favour. She sat beside me.

"Hi," she said with a smile.

"Hi too," I replied with a fake smile.

"How has the party been so far?"

"Great," I lied. The party was kinda boring and soon, Favour would leave me here alone too.

"Timmy," she whispered. The way she called my name gave me goosebumps.

"Yeah?"

"Uhm... You are...." I waited for her to say what was on her mind but she didn't.

''Handsome, smart, intelligent, great, cute, outstanding, any other thing you want to add?'' I offered as I fought the urge to laugh.

"Nah Timmy! You're the opposite of all that." She teased and laughed.

I held my chest, "you just broke my heart again." I joked.

"Yeah, yeah. Right. You look really handsome tonight."

I looked at my palms on my laps feeling shy. "Awww, thanks."

Favour's phone vibrated and I caught a glimpse of the caller. It was her Dad.

She looked at me like she was asking for permission to pick the call.

"What? You can go on!" I said.

She was about to say something when her phone rang again and she sighed.

"I'll see you later, please wait for me." She said as she stood up from the table.

I waited for a couple of minutes but Paul and Fred didn't come back so I decided to have a little fun at least. I went downstairs to the main club where peoples body were pressed against each other and I sat on a stool very close to the bar. I bought a bottle of whiskey and took a long gulp from it and of course, it burned my throat. I nodded to 'Wizkid's Don't Dull' blasting out from the speaker.

After a while, Favour walked up to me

"Hey handsome," she said teasingly. "We really need to talk Timmy. Can we go out now?" She asked.

"Yeah sure, it's okay by me." I replied. While everyone were busy drinking and partying, Favour and I took a walk around the club.

"Oluwatimileyin," she started. "It really hurts when you think that I've moved on. I mean, what if I'm still where you left me? What if I've left my soul with you and my body is just moving on? You can never understand me because you never tried to understand me. All you said was a lie." She sniffed and then continued.

"God knows that I really love you and I will still continue to love you even till the end of time because you're the best thing that ever happened to me. Not that I don't have guys who are far more better than you, but I had to turn them down because of the love I had for you and because I still want us to be together. I never regret anything I did for you because it was out of love, yet you betrayed my trust and gave me up as if we were nothing. It pained me but I always smile because I don't want people to see you as the reason behind my tears anyways, I have forgiven you even though you never loved me."

She moved closer to hug me and wrapped her arms around my neck. I held her by the waist and noticed that she had became a little lean.

She whispered in my ears, "Timmy, I want you to kiss me and smile for me. Tell me you will wait for me and hold me like you will never let me go."

I smiled, assured her and kissed her.

That moment, I pledged to her not to have an affair again with any other girl apart from her and we got back together again. We forgot about all that happened and left it in the past and we both went back to the VIP section of the club.

The DJ played 'Never Let You Go by WhiteGold' and we vibed to the music.

"Timmy, do you know what I learnt from what happened to us?" Favour asked as she sipped her whiskey drink.

"No, I don't. Tell me about it." I replied

"It's just the popular saying. If you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, then it is meant to be yours. But if it doesn't, then it is not meant to be yours." She added and spoke just like a Philosopher.

"Hmmm, that's so smart of you." I said and caressed her cheekbone carefully. I placed my hand on her ass and it seemed more bigger. She looked at me and smiled then planted a way kiss on my lips.

Fred and Paul walked in on us at that moment, "This love no go die oh..." Paul added sarcastically...
