stranger in our midst

STORY........... I had just completed classes at college, I stopped a taxi and on my way back home, Alvin called, come to our secret spot, he says, and immediately disconnected the call. I thought maybe he had a surprise for me because it's been two years since we started dating and a week from now is going to be our anniversary. I guess Alvin would like to celebrate it on time this year. I asked the cab driver to stop me at a huge gate in an abandoned street, he looked at me and I paid the cab fee. I'm sure in his mind he might be thinking, what the hell is this girl doing here alone, on a lonely street, going into an abandoned mansion. "Alvin" I walked in and everywhere was covered in darkness. It was so dark that I pulled out my phone and used the flashlight on it, I scanned through and my heart almost jump out of my chest the minute it landed on him. "Hello, baby" He smooched my cheeks, "I have been waiting for you," he puts in. I heaved a step away from him. "What happened?" I raised a question. He takes my hand and walked a little further, Alvin asked me to stay at a spot while he gets the light switched on. I waited and when he returned, I felt something strange about his facial expression. "Alvin is everything okay?" I asked. He nods a little, walked closer to me, and pulled out my hand to his chest. "You do know that I love you right?" He smiles. "Yes, but tell me, what's going on?" I investigated. I was pulled away by him, and he turns his back on me, concealing a huge truth. Anytime Alvin acts like there's something stuck on his throat, it only means there's something he's either trying to tell you or wants to give you. Regardless I think he has something to tell me. "Alvin" I pulled him back to my gaze, "tell me the truth," I said holding both his hands. He looks at it and raised to speak. "I am sorry Ava, but I don't think we can continue seeing each other," He tells slapping my hands away. I trembled my head in doubt, did Alvin just break up with me, or have I started hearing things. I interrogated him for a detailed explanation and he had my ears filled up with the crazy disparity between us. Alvin says, we were not right for each other, he also said, he thought I was his mate, but I ended up being another mistake of his. Like what in the odds, I've just been waiting two years of my life with a guy that never saw me as anything important. I was star-struck by his words, he rides past and before leaving had me return the promise ring he gifted me on my birthday. Alvin turns his back on me, just like a stranger would, and abandons me without taking a look back.
