Chapter Twelve
Mike found out about Chris and Angela, he went to Angela's house already mad.
"How could you do this to me?" He asked the moment Angela opened the door.
"Do what?" She asked confused.
"How could you agree to be his girlfriend?" He asked
"Am sorry but you and I are already done I'm in love with Chris now"
"What about me Angela? I still love you" he said. Angela just looked at him not knowing what to say. Tears were falling from his eyes.
"I know I hurt you so bad it was foolish of me to leave that way but I've apologized a million times what do you want me to do?"
"Nothing, you don't have to do anything, I've moved on and so you too should move on" she said as tears fell from her eyes, she was feeling bad for him.
"Mike I still love you but as a friend the old feelings are gone, am sorry"
"I don't want to be loved as a friend" he yelled. "Angela am ready to do anything just to have you back"
"Mike you don't have to do anything, what we had is over" she said. Mike grabbed and pulled her to him. He then forced a kiss on her. Angela pushed him and slapped him.
"Never do that again" she warned and asked him to leave. Mike left an angry man.
He called Jerry and found out that Chris was with him in his house. He drove to Eldoville to see Chris. Jerry opened the door and Mike stormed in and grabbed Chris by his collars.
"How could you?"
"Calm down, I can explain" Chris said but Mike punched him.
Chris got up and punched him too. They started fighting and Jerry had to stop them.
"What's wrong with you two?" He yelled pushing each away from the other.
"I'm tired of him always punching me, I never knew he was Angela's ex and when I found out, God knows that I tried my best to control my feelings"
"I won't let you be happy with my girl be sure of that"
Jerry and Chris tried to make him understand but he wasn't listening to whatever they had to say. Chris got fed up.
"What do you want me to do then?"
"Leave Angela for me"
"Am sorry bro but that's impossible she's mine now and I can't let her go"
"We'll see then, a battle has just started" Mike said and started heading for the door. Chris called him.
"If you try to come between her and me, I'll fight you" he said. Mike opened the door and walked out. Chris sat back on the couch. Jerry just looked at him. He got a call from Angela and smiled then picked it up.
"Hi sugar" he started.
"Hi how are you?"
"Am good just that I got into a fight with Mike"
"Why?"
"He is just angry at me because of our relationship"
"Am sorry, this is all happening because of me"
"Hey, it's not your fault, Mike and I are family am sure we'll fix this" he said "but if he tries anything silly I won't take it" he added. They continued talking till late in the night.
The next day Angela woke up at six in the morning and as she was taking the trash out she found Chris standing at her door step. She was surprised. Chris pulled her and pinned her on the wall. He started kissing her and she kissed him back then pushed him gently.
"What are you doing here this early?"
"Am here to see you, I didn't see you yesterday and I missed you" he said. "And also to give you this" he said and gave her a blue rose her favourite flower with a card. The card read "To the prettiest girl, you turned my life around and am super grateful that I met you, I love you Angel"
"Awww thanks" she said, kissed him and hugged him.
Chris then left for work. Val woke up and found Angela smiling at the flower.
"Where did that come from?" She asked.
"Chris gave it to me"
"He was here? At this time?" Val asked surprised, Angela nodded.
"That guy is crazy" Val said and went to the kitchen.
After an hour he sent another flower he kept sending flowers to her after an hour each with a sweet message. In the evening he himself took to her a bouquet of flowers.
"You really are crazy" Angela said as she took the flowers from him.
"You are right am crazy but crazy over you" he said and Angela smiled.
"So how was your day?" She asked.
"My day was fine only that I missed you" he said.
"I missed you too"
Chris pulled her to him and kissed her gently on the lips.
"I wish I could stay long but I have a football game to watch with a few friends"
"what teams are playing?" She asked showing some interest.
"Arsenal vs Manchester united"
"So what team are you on?"
"Am team Man u" he said "I'll be leaving now" he added.
"Have fun with your friends love"
"Thanks angel, bye I'll see you soon" Chris said, kissed her and left.
He arrived at Jerry's place and everybody looked at him surprised that he would be there.
"What's wrong?" He asked confused.
"You came to watch with us, that's a shock to us" Jerry said.
"Come on guys, you're exaggerating" Chris said as he had a seat.
"No we're not, you never hanged out with us when you were in a relationship" JC one of his friends said.
"Well now am in a new relationship and my girlfriend has no problem with me hanging out with you, so let's watch the game" Chris said. Later in the night he called Angela.
"Hey, so how was the match?" She asked
"We lost" he said. He sounded tired.
"Oh sorry, better luck next time" she said.
"I'm off to bed now, good night I love you"
"I love you too" Angela said and hanged up.
A week passed and Chris's sisters Carly and Chloe came back from the states. A party was being held for them. Rita was invited because she was one of Carly's bestfriends. She saw Chris and went to say hi.
"How are you Chris?"
"I'm fine how about you?" He asked.
"I'm not fine, I miss you Chris" she said. Chris didn't know what to say.
