Episode 20
Miguel
We still play like kids, just that our body and mentality has been upgraded by nature. When Ella fell on me, I saw nothing wrong with it. Itâs usual for us to crash down together while playing around but why is Ella not standing up? Why does she keep staring at me? I could clearly see her boobs, she was lying on me which means that her boobs were on my chest, the sÂŁnsat!on from her body was too much for me, my body was already doing me tinini tanana?, Ella was totally lost, I followed the direction of her eye and I realized that sheâs been gazing at my lips all this while, I quickly spoke before the unexpected happens cox I donât think Iâll be able to resist her if she does what I am suspecting to be in her mindâŠ.
Mike : Ella
Ella : âŠno reply
Mike : Ella?.. Shook my legs to wake her
Ella :..startled.. Huh?
Mike : Youâre heavy
Ella : Oh! Sorry⊠She stood up clumsily.
Mike : Takeâ.. I gave her the ice cream
Ella : No, you can finish it all⊠She said and ran upstairs almost immediately.
Whatâs wrong with her? Does Ella have feelings for me or what? Was she really going to kiss me if I didnât stop her?
I donât really want to conclude anything yet. But then, if Ella is in love with me that means itâs been long. If what am thinking is true that means sheâs been having feelings for me even before I realized that weâre not blood related. That means that the time I was going crazy for being in love with my sister, she was also in love with her brother.
No, no, it canât be. Am not thinking straight! But to be sincere, the possibility of Ella being in love with me made me happy. I thought, then it wonât be hard to win her love when she finally comes to know that I am not her brother.
Ella
I really wish someone could explain to me whatâs wrong with me? Did I just try to kiss Mike? My brother? I must have lost it! Am really going nuts, God please help me.
I didnât go down stairs again till night cox I slept off. When I went down stairs, Mike was preparing noodles. I stood at the kitchen doorâŠ
Mike: Sleeping Beauty, you don wake? Youâve been sleeping since afternoon
Ella :..smiled.. Will I still be able to sleep this night sef
Mike: You can just sit beside me and kill mosquitoes till morning

Ella : Chai.. Pls nah
Mike : O try nii. What will Daddy even eat when he returns from work?
Ella : Iâll make fried plantains and egg for him.
Mike : That man must be missing his wifeâs food, I swear
Ella : Thatâs why he should tell her to hurry up and come back
Mike : Yunno Daddy prefers swallow at night
Ella : Me I donât have strength to pound yam this night. Heâll be eating the one I give him until his wife returns

Mike :..coming back to me⊠Oya give it to me
Ella : Donât worry, Iâll manage it âŠI ran to the parlour.
We ate while watching an American movie titled âDeucesâ. I kept having a flash back of what transpired between Mike and I this afternoon, so many crazy thoughts followed up. I was just stealing glances at him while he was just calm and concentrated as if nothing happened. I was glad he didnât ask me questions.
After eating, I suggested that we play truth or dareâŠ.
Mike : Nope, am watching movie
Ella :But it has been long nah
Mike : No cheating oh, agreed?
Ella : Yes. You play first
Mike : No, you go first
Ella : no, you should play first
Mike : You suggested the game, so play first else Iâll return to my movie and I wonât play again
Ella : Ok. T or D
Mike : T
Ella : Correct! Have you kissed a girl before?
Mike : you see, thatâs why I donât like this game.
Ella : Just tell me
Mike : Nope
Ella : Are you serious?
Mike : T or D
Ella : D
Mike :You used to say that you have a guy youâve been crushing on for a long time, I dare you to tell me who?
Ella : Am sorry, I canât. But heâs handsome, very very handsome.
Mike : Was it Emeka?
Ella : I had a big crush on Emeka, but I just realized heâs not my major crush. T or D
Mike : T
Ella : Do you like running from anything? Anything at all?
Mike : Yes, I like running from my own feelings. T or D
Ella : T
Mike : What will be your reply to Emeka tomorrow?
Ella : Iâll reconcile with him and get back together if heâs still interested. T or D
Mike : I see, so you still want to date him. I chose T
Ella : Have you ever been so helpless? Like in your feelings, you want to do something but you just canât and it hurts alot?
Mike : Yes, I have
Ella : What did you do about it?
Mike : I ran, I ran away, I ran as fast as my legs could carry me. T or D
Ella : D
Mike : I dare you not to go anywhere tomorrow
Ella : Why? You donât want me to?
Mike : Weâre just playing game. I didnât know what else to say.
Ella: Then, lemme be asking till you have something to ask about.
âŠâŠour game was supposed to be fun but twas too emotional. We were both sad, I donât know why Mike is sad but I do know why I am sad.
Ella : T or D
Mike : T
Ella : Youâve been choosing T since
Mike : Theyâre almost the same thing
Ella : Assuming that.. that.. I.. ehm.. kissed you this afternoon, what would you have done?
Mike : I will stop assuming
Ella : Am serious
Mike : Why would you kiss me in the first place?
âŠ.I didnât reply, we just stared at each other for a minute before I repliedâŠ
Ella : Mike
Mike : Huh?
Ella : Am really going crazy, I have so many questions but I donât even know the answer. I donât want to ask you either, I just have so many bad thoughts
Mike : Bad thoughts? Like the ones a young teenager shouldnât have?
Ella : Eeh
Mike : Itâs normal to have erotic thoughts, it just happens, but try to control it as well. Too much of it is bad
Ella : ..tears were clouding my eyes⊠I know, but am having it with the wrong person. It shouldnât be that way, why me?.. I rubbed my eyes to hold my tears. I was actually sitting on the rug while he sat on the cushion chair. On seeing my mood, Mike came to meet me on the floor, he held my cheeksâŠ
Mike : Ella, whatâs wrong with you?
Ella : Pls lemme alone
Mike : Tell me, I wonât judge you okâ he kissed my forehead
Ella : Just go, Iâll be fineâ I removed his hand
Mike : Look at me, yunno you can tell me anythingâ trying to hold my hand
Ella : Stay away from me Mike!! I shouted
Mike :..raising his two hands up⊠ok, fine. Am going but you should stop crying ok
Ella : âŠcrying⊠This is all your fault, why are you so caring? Why do you love me so much, yet you dare to enter the same womb with me? Are you not supposed to be my brother? Why do you make my heart flutter each time? Who are you? Who gave you such rights to be giving me butterflies all the time? Just go, go away from me!.. I threw things at him, the remote, CD packs, etc. I ran to my room and he followed behind calling after me âElla! Ella! Ella wait!â but I didnât listen. I ran into my room and locked the door. He kept banging on the door but I didnât open, am not going to open it. I was scared, very scared. At least not now, I might do the unthinkable. What if I try getting intimate with him? No, I have to pull myself together first. I was so frustrated that I scattered my room, twas such a mess. Do you know what they call heart ache? I had it at that moment.
What do you think will be Mikeâs reaction??
