Chapter 188: This Could Have Been Me

Angelia

"Hi, Angelia." Godwin ran to catch up with me, unaware that I had sped up because I didn't want him to.

He looked like a schoolboy, with his hands gripping the reins of his backpack.

"Oh! Hi, Godwin." I pretended I had only just seen him.

"Where are you doing in such a hurry?" He asked, following me outside, I could sense his eyes on my face, probably taking in the circles underneath my eyes.

"I have a bus to catch." I lied.

I didn't really care if I got on this bus or the next one or the next one after that. My stomach clenched at the thought of being alone. However, I didn't want to be with anyone either. Scratch that, I didn't, but with only three people in particular. He nodded, seemingly disappointed.

"So, what are your plans for today?"

My mind went blank as I tried to find some kind of excuse because I felt he was going somewhere with that question.

"Laundry," I blurted.

"Laundry?" He repeated. I nodded vehemently, my cheeks reddening.

"Yes, I have so many dirty clothes to wash. I am down to my last panties." He chuckled.

"Yes, that does sound important. But can it be postponed an hour or two? I figured we could grab a coffee or something."

My lips parted to speak, but I froze as my eyes drifted to the left. Marshall was leaning against the building off to the side with his phone to his ear. Yet, his eyes were locked on Godwin and me, clearly more focused on us than on his conversation. I could see him say something before hanging up, giving me his undivided attention. Something inside me burst to life at the sight of him, my skin buzzed with the pleasure of being in his near proximity. His presence was a unique sort of happy pill that made me feel a little less shitty and a lot more like myself again.

He was a cure, a salvation, yet I denied myself the opportunity to feel like this every day. All in the name of love, I was a cliché and the worst kind at that. His eyes darkened when they swung to Godwin, and the hand holding his phone whitened before I felt someone touch. my shoulder to get my attention.
