We are just friends, she is not even in the country. She just wished me a happy birthday last year and since then we just became friends.
But i thought you said we were just friends. The last time i remember, you said because you were older than me we couldn't be a thing and i clearly understand but we like each other why can't you just give us a try?
You clearly don't like when i talk to other girls, you get possessive and you also don't want to be in a relationship with me.
Tell me clearly now, what am i to you? Let's get this clear so we won't end up hurting each other because i never want to do that to you. So tell me? Mark voiced with so much passion that sylvia couldn't help but give her response, she could see how much hurt she had caused him.
You and i know that i love you. I don't get angry when i see you talk to other girls. I just get jealous when i see you talk to Gold. I know too well she is not in the country but i still can't help it. We are friends and that was exactly how we started our friendship, we were always talking and chatting and here we are. I'm very sure that's what's going to happen to you both too? Sylvia replied.
So, you mean you are not jealous because you think she may romantically like me but you are jealous because you think i may value her friendship more than yours? Mark asked, disappointed though but he had to ask so the line would be clear.
There was a pause for a while as if sylvia was looking for the right words. "Yes, that's my fear." Tears formed in her eyes. She didn't clearly know where she stood. There was no manual for this kind of feeling.
What if she gives in and tells him how much she had liked him and they date and all of a sudden they end the relationship, she will loose both her friend and boyfriend at the same time. She thought it was better to at least keep him as a friend than loose the both.
So, if i ask Gold in the future to be my girlfriend, i won't loose you right? Mark asked. This time hoping to get a different response.
"No, you won't loose me. I will support you fully." She replied. And If Ray asks me to be his girlfriend and i say yes, "i hope i won't loose you too?" She asked.
So you are talking to Ray and you are jealous that I'm talking to a girl who is not even in the country. Sylvia, we've known each other for three years and we both know that i can do anything for you. I'm never scared to show you how much you mean to me. I know you too well especially when you are hiding something from me. I can get that feeling now and that is why I'm pushing this much.
If i ask you to be my girlfriend, will you give me a chance? Will you say yes? He asked.
All Sylvia had to do now was give an honest answer and their relationship will change forever. Maybe that was her fear, the concept of forever. Guess she never thought about it this way, if they stayed together, and mark proposes in the future, they will be together forever never to part until death interferes.
The truth is that no man will want his wife or even girlfriend to be close to another guy the way Sylvia and mark were to each other. So if they both drift into different relationships their friendsship was also at stake.
The way she looked at him, her friends were always on her neck. "The way you look at that guy, i don't think you have a friendship intention for him girl. You are clearly in love with him and he also loves you, what are you guys waiting for?"
"No.... I will say No" she replied.
"Okay... Okay. Lets talk later" Mark said and walked out of her house. He was so pissed but couldn't pick the exact thing as the cause of his irritation.
Should i have just asked her to be my girlfriend instead of asking if she would say yes?
