Seun and Tola were close friends. They attended the same Primary, Secondary school and University. Although they were not friends in primary school, they were friends towards the end of SS2 and this continued when they figured that they were going to be in the same University. They were extremely close and many people thought they were in a relationship but they were not. They went to school together and went home together also. Tola's parents knew Seun and His parents had become really fond of Tola. Both Seun and Tola shared a lot together and Tola had become very comfortable with Seun.
Tola was not necessarily someone that spoke to a lot of people. In fact some of her roommates had referred to her as being "too quiet and secretive". Although she did not see herself as all that, she also did not see a need to tell people about her personal life. "I mean why should someone want to know all about me if I really do not want to share with them" She more often than not thought to herself whenever such comments were made.
Seun seemed to be the only person that Tola told a lot to and her reason for this was the fact that they both attended the same school and were fond of each other. Also the fact that she had known him for long made it easy for her to trust him according to her. The two got closer and they were seen almost everywhere together. A few people had asked them questions trying to find out if they were in a relationship. "We are just close friends, in fact more like family" Bola responded whenever she was asked about this.
They were in different departments in University but they had common modules/courses which they took together so they saw each other every other day. Seun was a fine boy and there was no doubt that many ladies liked him. Bola was also a very beautiful lady and guys kept asking her to get into a relationship with them. In fact whenever any guy asked her out or tried to toast her, she gave a regular response "I am sorry but it can't work." While some remained persistent, others either gave up or decided to be her friend.
Many of these guys thought that her response was as a result of her close friendship with Seun and some in fact theatened him to stay off her and give them a chance. He tried explaining to many of them that Tola was his closest female friend but they were not dating. But of course, nobody believed him.
At the time Seun and Tola started getting really close, Tola tried to define her friendship with him and told him that they were just close friends and nothing more. She told him not to try asking her out because if he did, their friendship would be destroyed. Seun on the other hand agreed that they were just close friends but as to not asking her out, he knew that this was not an impossibility.
The closer you get as friends, the closer you want to be and this was the situation with Seun and Tola. Years had gone by so quickly and so Seun assumed that Tola's 'threat' was just because she was still young at the time. He had been battling with his feelings towards Tola but then he had to be careful because he was not ready to lose his friendship with her. He tried bringing up a conversation on relationships generally not making any reference to both of them and he got the clue that it was not something she was interested in or at least not for now. He really wanted to let her know how he felt but he was not sure it was the right thing to do. He waited for 2 more years and decided to make Tola know how much he loved her and all.
What would happen? Will Tola change her mind owing to the fact that she had grown or time had passed?
Thank you so much for stopping by. We hope to see you next week by God's grace.
OneLove,
