Chapter 05

-Davids POV-

I have always loved Oliver like my sister but since I learned what it means to be a man I started avoiding her lately.

I was growing older, with beards, a height that made me look down on people not for the reason that they were irrelevant but for the reason that I was actually tall.

I started dating when I was fourteen because I did not know that I was supposed to wait till I was eighteen.

My teen hormones just kept pushing me to do irresponsible things with girls.

Oliver has always been an amazing person to talk to even though she was visually impaired I could not help but notice other amazing things about her.

She was a light chocolate stunning beauty hidden in the house by her mum due to her condition for her own protection.

Her mum was strict on me bringing my other friends along with me to see her and once I understood why her mum started pushing me away, I burnt all the leeches off.

On the other hand, Oliver was something else, the government approved home teaching for her and I could not be more impressed with her outstanding results.

She was surely too intelligent and spent all her free time reading educational audiobooks which turned her into the genius that she is now although I suspect her being weird.

There was a time I tried sneaking up on her but she called me right before I even started.

That did not happen once but every time I tried to scare her which all failed.

She was a perfect woman to me and I could not ignore the likeness I was beginning to like about her body.

Even her voice was precious to me and I try my best to make her know that she is a special person to me.

My dad once followed my car to know where I usually go in the evening and on discovering it he was furious about me being a friend to a blind girl.

But what he failed to remember about Oliver is that she was the same person that he once used to call beautiful and was the best friend of her father, Johnson.

Since her father died and she lost her eyes many people say it's the curse of the gods but I know that it is not any of that because she got blind as a result of an accident.

I didn't know what exactly happened to her but i can tell that she must have hit her face or whole hard at something hard like a rock to have gotten that illness.

I wish I could make her see me, I wish I could tell her that I loved her looking into her beautiful eyes but could this wish of mine ever come through?

My mum later explained to my dad about the relationship he had with her parents and that is the reason he lets me come over to her house to stay with her but now that he knows how stubborn i can be, he doesn't care much about it anymore.

Since all these years I have dated many girls that rush me because they all love the fact that I come from a rich family.

Oliver, on the other hand, tries to show how interested she is in me even so she is blind and all these beautiful qualities kept attracting me to her and I couldn't help it but visit.

My first girlfriend was her but it wasn't that serious since we were still kids then, I just told her that I loved her and the reason why she should not play with other boys but only me when she could see and she funnily listened to my words.

My mum loves her not just for the fact that she's beautiful with basic women qualities but for the reason that Oliver once fed me in my times of hunger and when my mum discovered it... I thought she would be mad at me or at Oliver but she was so happy to have met Oliver and had seen Oliver's kind act from afar before she even came close.

As the years passed by Oliver kept telling me about what happened the day she lost her father and I couldn't help it but be interested in listening to what she has to say.

"My dad is the ocean and I have to meet him" we're here words and I tried to believe that she was mentally stable as her words were too fantastic to just believe.

Her story of the experience she had at the beach sounded so true because it packed loopholes since lies are the only thing that is capable of having loopholes. I had to believe her words because she was already special to me.

I finally man up and came to see Oliver even so I felt jealous of her being educated at her whilst I have to go to school every day.

I was now seated next to her hoping that she was okay and she confessed that she was and it was then something pushed time after her mum had excused me and her to have a conversation.

I shifted closer to her just to get a closer picture of her beautiful face and it was then that I got stuck in a love circle.

I was deeply staring instead of staring and it was supposed to feel awkward at first but it did not feel like that at all.

I arranged her hair behind her eyes thinking if the only thing that kept making my baby Oliver sad and she told me that same word to my face again... "I don't think I'd follow you out because of my condition," she says after I asked her if she was going to go out with me without her mum's knowledge.

But something else kept dragging me towards her lips, there was something different about today and no matter how I tried to avoid it, it just couldn't let me go.

I kissed her so deeply as I dragged her into myself but as footsteps approached us, I released her and sat properly.

It was then that I understood why my relationship with other girls never worked out.

It was because... The person I have always loved is Oliver Johnson, my best friend.
