Choose Me

"Is this true?" I asked while looking at him in the eyes wanting to see if my crush really wrote this letter for me or too see if it was just some prank he planned since I laughed at him a couple of days ago after his girlfriend broke up with him well she is an ex right now, instead of seeing someone who is happy of some sort I just saw annoyance in his eyes and sadness, wait why is he sad? Maybe it's because of that break up.

I opened the letter and asked him to read it for me and he just took it, turning away from me sitting on a chair just a little bit far from me.

He scanned with his eyes throughout the letter and kept on raising his right eyebrow and came to a stop and read with so much annoyance which was quickly replaced by sadness and threw the letter and left my room.

I left the letter where he left it and went after him.

"What's wrong?" I asked while still walking behind him more like trying to walk in a fast pace to be able to walk with him clearly since he is taller than me. I don't really know when he grew up to be so tall and me being so short but here I am trying to keep up with him.

Instead of answering me, he just went to the fridge and took out a bottle of water and drank all of it, was he that thirsty? Maybe that's why he wasn't answering me.

"Aren't you going to go and read a letter from your crush?" he asked looking at me like I just didn't ask him a question, wait a letter from my crush I remembered and I walked to my room with a very happy smile well this is the first time my crush has ever written a letter to me, it's so romantic I know.

Just as I was mesmerized by my crushes hand writing the door was opened very wide, what's really wrong with my best friend?

"Don't read that letter, just burn it and move on with your life." he said with a little desperation in his eyes and I for once well for the 100th time or more I've listened to him once again because I don't want to get hurt.

I took the letter and went outside to burn it and I went back to the house. After washing my hands I kept on looking thinking that I'll see him watching a series just like he always does instead of reading well I will not talk about him like this, I know I hardly see him read or holding a textbook but he always gets the best marks, maybe he does read in secret while he is encouraging me not to read and coming with snacks to watch series with me, how come I've never noticed this before, he is.... let me not say bad words this is a new year I have to be good on the inside also.

Since I didn't see Enzo well his full name is Enzokuhle Spencer, I went to my room to catch some sleep or maybe read economics I really need to pass with flying marks to go to university.

Upon arriving I took off my shoes and opened the cupboard and took out my economics textbook, pencil and a book to make notes when reading. After seeing I've read a lot better than past days I looked at the window and it was closed and I went to my bed throwing myself and I felt someone wait it's Enzo.

I see, I was just worried for nothing.

I slowly slept and heard Enzo speaking but I didn’t hear him clearly.

"I knew you would had not read even for 5 minutes." Enzo said.

A few hours later

While still in my sleep I heard "can I get in?" like who dares to wake me up in the middle of my peaceful sleep? I tried sleeping but that person persisted and I opened my eyes slowly to get Enzo to tell that person to get in but he was snoring.

I walked out of the bed slowly not wanting to wake him up and went to see who is this that's clearly not giving up at this time, since my family is out on a holiday leaving me behind since my mom said I need to read and she expects better marks from me.

I opened the door and saw my crushes little brother and just stood at the door smiling.

"My brother told me to tell you hi and that you're cute." after saying so he quickly ran while I was still at the door smiling so widely like I just for once won a game after playing it with Enzo.

"I'm hungry, I'm hungry, I'm hungry." Enzo said so loudly, aargh he has always been like this since he has ever grown up because I remember clearly that when he was little he was the sweetest and cute.

[Flashback]

"Is that food for me?" young Enzo asking me with a smile after I had brought him noodles since I saw that he wasn't full.

[End of Flashback]

If only I knew he would had turned out this way, I swear I would had beaten his head a couple of times, there I feel better after saying this.

I arrived at the kitchen and cooked for both of us while the food was still on the stove, I went to Enzo.

"Don't say I'm hungry like I'm your slave, maid or wife." I told Enzo who just yawned and turned to look at me.

"You are all of those other than a wife, why would I want to marry you mxm, your crush doesn't even want you." Enzo said with the biggest grin ever.

"You're speaking like this because your heart is still broken because of that girl who went..." I didn't finish what I wanted to say because Enzo pushed me but luckily me and clever me, I held his t-shirt and we both fell, his lips was a few meters away from mine and he just looked at my lips and talked but my mind wasn't there I was looking at his chest , when did he get a tattoo or is it a fake one? I placed my hand there on that tattoo and rubbed it but it didn't come off, aargh it must be the most tiniest fake tattoo.

"Oh you see that tattoo, Its a real one." Enzo said and smiled while I remembered that earlier I ate fish of which he doesn't like and I breathed near his nose and pushed him running while laughing, with him running after me with toothpaste of which I don't know where he got it.

"Your breath smells terrible take this whole toothpaste and wash your teeth, tongue and get rid of that stinking breath." Enzo said while still after me with me not wanting to stop.

"Just wait." Enzo said still running after me, does he really think a thief will wait and stop if a police man says they should wait?
