"Indecision is like a stepchild: If he does not wash his hands, he's called dirty, if he does, he's wasting water."
How could I love without courage? How could I have a faint heart if I really wanted to win Lucy's heart? I decided to tell her and face anything that would follow. I told her what I saw. I told her everything. Even the little details, I told her. She didn't look surprised. She seemed not to care a bit. I was curious to know why. It was then that she told me the game she's been playing with JK.
"The girl you saw with JK is my elder sister. She's the girlfriend of JK. My mum is aware that the two of them are dating. She is allowed to date so far as she can protect me and prevent guys from harassing me. Because we don't attend the same school, she relegated her powers to JK to protect me from "scavengers" like you. Hahahhahaha.... just kidding. My sister has warned JK that if he doesn't do his work well, and allow me to date any guy, he'll lose her. So this explains why he's always around me, and never giving me a breathing space," Lucy confessed.
I stood there speechless. I never knew JK wasn't my rival. I needed to change my plan. I needed to sit down with my guys and think of another plan. I wasn't quite satisfied, so I probed her more. I asked why she pushed me out of her room and also showed me attitude anytime I come close to her. She explained that it was because she didn't want her sister's relationship with JK to break up. I was even wondering what will make a beautiful girl like her sister follow such an ugly dude, but Lucy told me to direct my question to her sister if I really wanted to know why.
Then came the time. The moment of truth. The time to ask her if she really love me and want us to date. Now that I have been told the naked truth, I decided to take the risk. Even if she doesn't accept my proposal, I would force her to. I would use any means possible. JK was being pushed by some invisible forces to protect her and prevent other guys from coming near her. I really love Lucy. I like everything about her. Even when she pushes me away, that's when I love her the more. I'm wondering if she also loves me as I do. I'm wondering if she thinks about me so much as I do.
She was getting late for her choir practice, but I was determined to finish what I had started. Upon all I had been through that day, I couldn't go home "empty-handed". I needed to go home with joy. So when she told me she was going for choir practice, I offered to escort her. She allowed me on one condition, that the two of us can't be seen together in public. Like seriously? Well, I had no other choice. She took the lead, and I followed her quietly. There was quite a distance between us. Whenever we don't see anyone on the road, we got close and talked, but when we see someone approaching, we would create space between us as if we were total strangers. We got to a quiet place. There was no one around. Everything seemed fine. I thought that would be a fine opportunity to propose.
