ALEX'S POV
"What do you mean by that?" a voice from the other line asked.
"That's what he told me"
"So he doesn't want you to futher your education? "
"Yeah, he is just interested in marriage"
"Wow!, your dad is really funny. . . ."
". . . . .he was always been like this, even when he was younger"
"So. . . .ehmm. . . .is there anything we can do?"
"I will reach out to you let me make preparations"
"Okay sir, thank you sir"
"Be on standby, incase i call, am really busy so i might not be able to call you multiple times"
"Okay. But. . . .huh, am i travelling to stay with you or. . . .?"
"Yeah, of course. . . .if am able to sort things out over here, then yeah, you'll travel over here"
"Oh. . . .okay sir"
"Why the question, though?, is there someone you will miss? or . . . .is it your family? "
"No, nothing i was just curious that's all"
The call ended. At first i was really anxious ever since he saidhe would reach out to me, have been feeling happy hoping for a positive response. But also really feeling anxious incase things go south.
Early this morning after taking my shower, i did my normal morning routine. I woke up about 5am in the morning, i jogged for about thirty minutes then i went back home, had my bath and did some minor chores in the house. After spending most of the morning scrolling through my phone. . . . just doing random stuff.
My uncle suddenly called, immediately i saw in the phone that he was the one calling i felt really anxious i wasn't mentally prepared if it was going to be good or bad news or neither. At first i just stared at the phone doing nothing, then the call ended, at that point i completely neglected or rather forgot the fact that my uncle was a rather busy man.
After a few minutes when it rang for the second time i immediately answered it, realizing that he might not call for the third time. For the first few minutes of the call, he just asked about my well being and all. Then. . . . the real talk started.

About how inconsiderate my dad can be, his obsession with me getting married, how he will start sorting things out so i can travel soon and all that.
When the conversation finally reached a certain point i stopped feeling anxious, i was enjoying the phone call. But when he talked about me travelling to stay with him, I felt really glad that he was even considering it to that point. But. . . i felt sad?,yeah i felt really sad i won't be seeing jessica again, atleast for some time i would eventually come back if all is done.
But i don't know why i felt sad i already expected to stay with him there. I mean, it was already in my plan that i would stay there, so i don't know why i felt sad. or.....do i actually have feelings for her. I mean, i get really excited whenever am with her, i randomly start thinking of her and sometimes i just can't stop, At a certain point i thought of asking for her number but what if she rejects me? We are living in the same compound so it might sound ridiculous to her'. Those were the thought that occupied my head anytime i even thought of doing it.
OMG!, Sometimes... I think i dream about her sometimes. It really can't be that i've fell for my friend who is my neighbour. I mean she is really attractive, she is funny, caring. i really need to stop.

I might really have feelings for her, but i don't want that to be the reason over friendship fell apart.
so for now let's just keep the feelings aside.
Hopefully i will be able to.
