Chapter 19: Making love

HER BABY’S SECRET

Arike’s POV

"What are you going to do?" A tear slipped from my eyes.

"I don't know what to do." He mumbled as he hugged me back.

I couldn't bear to see him hurting. It felt like I was the one hurting badly anytime he was like this. And the reason wasn't far-fetched. I love him! But I never wanted to admit my feelings because I can't stand a chance.

I have been hiding my feelings since high school. To be honest, it had hurt me to see him date several women. I know I would just remain as a best friend in his life and nothing more so I didn't try to get my hopes him.

"But..I wish I could just end everything." He pulled away from me. I could see tears at the corners of his eyes.

"Hey.." he placed both hands on your cheeks. "I know..I look pitiful but I don't want you to cry for me."

I shook my head but I couldn't stop the tears.

"Please don't cry." He kissed my forehead.
