Seduced by My Bestie's Brother

Thelma POV. “ Come on, Thelma, you to, have to come to my mom's anniversary . “My best friend Recho continues to persuade me for I think the tenth time to go to her parent's 30th anniversary in marriage. The truth is I would really want to go to that party but I have one main obstacle . I shrug away from her as I put my leg on the old floor standing up eventually standing on the other side of the bed. Recho gets away from the bed and comes next to where I am putting her hands around my waist and then pulling me with her and the two of us fall down on the bed playfully . “ Come on girl . You know we have to get going ” She insists once again. I knew this was not going to end now but I also had to try and see if I could win her this time round. “ Give me time to relax please, you know very well that am not good with parties.” my trial to make her at least let me stay goes on . Hope she can accept this . “ Thelma, don't begin. Whether you want it or not , girl you know I am not leaving you here at all. ” “ Thelma, please stop this habit of making yourself remain behind the curtains all the time. ” That was just a quarter of my best friend. *** Guess what , Recho managed to get me out of my bed and bedroom to this party So we are about to enter her parent's house. It is not actually far away ..it is just a stone's throw distance away from ours. Across the street. I can feel my heart thundering even more at the anticipation that we are going to get into that party . Oh no, let me first introduce myself to you . I am Thelma Miles aged 20 years . I am currently in college . Recho is my best friend . That is how we have been since childhood . The fact that we are neighbors and our mothers actually were college friends as well..I think you can now Know where the bond comes from. I think it is time to take you back to the party, the 30th anniversary. “ We are finally here ” Recho announces as we get in the hall. There are still a few visitors . The party will not begin officially until about an hour later. “ Oh!, Thelma. Am so happy to see you ." Recharah, Recho's mother says excitedly as she moves towards us giving me a hug and then doing the same to Recho. “ You look so smart ” She compliments looking all over me with a smile on her face. “ All credit goes to your crazy daughter here. '' I say jokingly, flashing a smile towards my friend, Recho, who is by my side but looking all over the place. Am sure she is about to get away from me to go and talk to the men around the place. Before I can even register that thought in my mind she has already vanished into thin air leaving me with her mother . “ Thelma, I am so grateful for seeing you but you know I have so much preparation that I have to do. See you around.” she says and soon equally leaves me all alone. This is my worst moment ,I never feel comfortable at parties. This is why I always stay home. That is how I have been since high school . I can even count the number of times that I have attended parties- Of Course by Force and persuasion from my bestie. I stand looking around the whole hall for sure not certain of what I am to even do in the first place. Beginning from the way that I am dressed -i mean the high heels and everything that she forced me to dress up in. Seeing that I am really not feeling comfortable , I decide to take a seat at one of the already arranged chairs requesting a glass of water from the waitress . As soon as I take the first sip, I feel someone standing behind me. I am extremely hesitant to look back and see who is there . However I can feel the pumping of my heart getting even faster. This has been the order of the day from the moment I go here . “ Hey ” that voice gets me all tense Memories of what happened between us three years ago come flashing into my mind.. I don't know what to do or how to even act. It is a voice that I last heard three years ago. That time a moment that has not left my head for even a single moment the last three years. Something that is only known between two people I sluggishly turn around upon standing up. He is standing there seeming so relaxed-as usual of course . I instantly get tensed up when I feel his blue eyes piercing into me. More Gorgeous compared to three years ago. . I manage to stare at him doing so much to be calm. . He has his black hair a bit messy but gorgeous combed backwards. He is dressed in black jeans and black long sleeved shirt. He really has something for black. He is more built then he was three years ago. “ You look gorgeous ” he adds after almost a minute after perhaps seeing that I am not saying anything at all. “Hmmm…” I answer panickingly - seeming even more stupid . Damn it, I am sure I am now tomato red just having him staring at me the way he is doing it. I have to get out of her before anything happens . I don't want to make a fool of myself again. “ Oh, I have to get going ” I say not really waiting for his reply as I begin to move but.. “ Wait ” ** Hello my estimated readers . I thank you so much for being patient with me with all my books. I hope I can improve greatly.
