I opened the message to see the contents in it, my eyeballs moved nervously after reading the message , I placed back my phone on the table and stared at Charles who was digging into his spaghetti
The restaurant suddenly becomes hot for me as I try to get more air into my skin using my hand
" Are you okay Debbie?" Charles asked when he had noticed my actions
" Yes" I answered in a high tone without been conscious of it " the food is really spicy" I said
Charles smiled at me and continued digging into his food
The message had came from Jackson who had just told me that he is waiting outside my house and won't leave until he sees me, I mean; that message made me kind of uncomfortable that moment
" I have decided not to message him back nor even think about him, I am having the best moment of my life right now" I assured myself feeling strong.
Charles offered to drive me home but I refused, I offered to drive him back so that he wouldn't have to take a taxi back home after dropping me off with my own car, we said our goodbyes and promised to message each other when we get back home

" Speak of the devil" I said at the sight of Jackson.
Coming out of the garage after parking my car, I was startled by the figure standing across the walls
" Thought you wouldn't come back because you don't want to see me" Jackson said
" Jackson; you are still here?" I asked as it was unexpected
" I have been here like forever and it was worth it" he said approaching me
