Amara :hello maxwell
Maxwell :hi, how are you

Maxwell :am okey, hope am not disturbing you
Amara :no, not really.
Maxwell :I thought you were busy cause I have been calling for a long time.
Amara :I was sleeping, but I am awake now,cause I have to read my books later when am done talking to you.
Maxwell smiled )always with her book,hope you do rest
Amara :I do rest,but I have to be very serious with my studies so that I can be successful in life,I want to be able to give my parents comfort when they grow old,I want to have enough money to take good care of them.
Maxwell :that’s good but what if you get married to a wealthy man,you know like it am,you don’t need to work hard for money then.
Amara (laughed )oh maxwell don’t be silly but in any case that happens that won’t stop me from working,now let stop imagining things that won’t happen.
Maxwell :what can never happen
Amara :you and me getting married
Maxwell :but you know sometimes good things do happen
Amara :talking about marriage, when are you getting married because you haven’t told me about any one that is in your life or don’t you want to get marry
Maxwell :I love to but she is not ready yet
Amara happy )that means you have some one already.
Maxwell :not really, we are just close friends and I believe one day she will understand my feelings and she will see how much I love her and she will know that I can go to any length to get what she desire.
Amara :you talk about this girl with so much love,if you love her the way you say you do why don’t you let her know.
Maxwell sad)am shy
Amara :you have to try
Maxwell :i know, I see her almost every day but don’t have but I just can’t tell her
Amara :you have to,she will understand you.
Maxwell :Amara, will you understand, if you will understand then I will take a step.
Amara shocked and confused )me
Maxwell :yes you and no one else
Amara:maxwell, you know if love you but only like the brother that I never heard.
Maxwell :and I love you more then my sister
Amara was now speechless
Maxwell :i just thought I can make you understand, you have never left my mind,you said she will understand but you are wrong, you can never know how it feels,I shouldn’t have said this out yet because I know you wasn’t ready but an glad I did,goodnight amaretto answer sweet dreams(he huge up)
Amara was so confused, she wouldn’t imagine what she just heard ,she was doing lost in thought,how can her best friend be in love with her,what is she going to do,she already thinking of what chidi told he and now this,she la!d there on her bed wandering in thoughts.
