" Got you" Chelsea said as she caught Kevwe from behind and started tickling her.

" Okay, I give up" Kevwe said as she put her hands up in surrender.

" I know you can't win against me, I still remain the undefeated champion" Chelsea said playfully.

" As if "Kevwe said.

" So what did you buy, especially what did you buy for me?" Kevwe asked.

" Nothing" Chelsea told her.

" It better not be nothing" Kevwe warns , as they both went into the kitchen.

" Tada" Chelsea says as she turns and hand over a one of the gift bag that Dennis gave to her to Kevwe.

" Wow, you got me Ice-cream and a burger, with Cole" Kevwe said to Chelsea, " That's why I love you" Kevwe added.

" What did you mean I got you a burger?" Chelsea asked surprised on hearing that there was a burger inside the bag and  snatches the bag and look inside.

" Weren't you the one who got me these?" Kevwe asked back

" Well, technically Dennis did, I got you the Ice-cream and delivered the gift" Chelsea replied.

" What so you wanted to take credit for my brother-in-law's kindness?" Kevwe asked, " And a good brother-in-law at that" She added.

" Which brother-in-law?" Chelsea asked her, " You have a sister he is marrying?. I didn't know, I thought you only had brothers" She said to Kev we.

" Shut up, you know who he is marrying, you of course" Kevwe told her.

" You are not serious" Chelsea said to her.

" I'm very serious, you will see that I am always right and I have already seen it" Kevwe told her.

" As if, in your dreams" Chelsea replied.

"Yeah, literally in my dreams" Kevwe replied.

" I didn't know that you know prophecy and that you are a prophetess now" Chelsea asked sarcastically.

" Can't you see the signs?. Dennis from all you have told me is too determine to give up and since marriage is what he wants , marriage he would get . Some people just get whatever they want in this life, which Is unfair" Kevwe told Chelsea.

" You are talking as if I'm an inanimate object, I'm human for goodness sake" Chelsea said to Kevwe unhappily," But what if that is not what he is after and he just wants to deceive or to use and dump me?" Chelsea asked her bff.

" Stop bring insecure and give this a chance, you don't know he might be saying the truth , and from the looks of him ; I'm not sure he can even kill a fly" Kevwe told Chelsea.

"But you don't know, because you don't know him" Chelsea said.

"I don't really know him as you said, but from our very brief account I think otherwise, but I'm warning him if he tries anything funny, I mean hurt you, I will.teach him a lesson he will and never forget" Kevwe advise and warned , even though Dennis was not there to receive her warning.

" This is why I love you, you always got my back" Chelsea said fondly.

" And you got mine" Kevwe said to her bff.

" So let's see what are inside the other bags you brought and I want to see what he got you" Kev we said.

" Who told you he got something for me ?" Chelsea asked coyly.

" And why wouldn't he, who is he wooing here, me or you?, It's you obviously and for him to buy me a gift he must have bought something for you. A guy in pursuit of love should know that in order to succeed in his love pursuit" Kevwe told her friend.

" Okay, Okay , Stop your lectures. You are right he did get both of us gifts and I was  just pulling your leg" Chelsea joked.

" You better have been. So what is it?" Kevwe asked excitedly.

" Wait up, Where are you in a hurry to?" Chelsea asked.

" Come on, get to the good part" Kevwe told Chelsea , already in a hurry to see what Dennis got Chelsea.

" Okay, I will get to the good part soon" Chelsea said to Kevwe, trying to hold her back from checking put the gift on her own and before Chelsea is ready to reveal the gift, even if she on her own haven't seen the gift and it could be the same with Kevwe's gift, " I was even surprised that he gave both of us gifts" Chelsea told her sincerely.

" Why would you be, that's what you do when you are in a relationship or should I say ready to be in, in both of your case" Kev we said to her.

" Who told you that I'm ready for a relationship?" Chelsea asked.

" You should be, before someone else does" Kevwe warned.

" You wouldn't?" Chelsea asked insecurely.

" Of course, I wouldn't there. Is that how little you think of me" Kevwe said hurt.

" No, I'm sorry" Chelsea apologized.

" Okay, but don't make such a comment again" Kevwe accepted her apology reluctantly, but still a little bit hurt.

" Thanks, I will never say such a thing again" Chelsea said hugging Kevwe, " I even told him he shouldn't" Chelsea continue what she was saying before she made that hurtful comment to her friend.

" Why would you yell him that?" Kevwe asked, " Don't you know that this is one of his ways of trying to prove and show that he loves you" She told Chelsea.

" He must not buy me gifts for me to know he loves me. It might make it look like he is trying to bribe me" Chelsea said.

" Stop saying that nonsense, it is not a bribe" Kevwe warned Chelsea, " It is him professing his love. Hope you didn't tell him this,when you were to reject the gift?, because I know you and your big mouth, sometimes you don't just know when to stop it from running wild" Kevwe told her.

" I do not" Chelsea argued.

" You do " Kevwe disagreed.

" Oh, I'm so hurt, by what you just said. I'm not like that" Chelsea said, really feeling hurt.

" Sorry, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. But the truth must be said and you shouldn't just say  whatever comes to your mind, always wait and think first before you speak" Kev we advice's her.

" This is even worst, I feel so insulted" Chelsea told her.

" You shouldn't be, it was just a plain honest advice" Kevwe said to her.

" Okay, whatever you say" Chelsea replied.

" Let's see your gift. The way you have been talk and how you even drew me into this long conversation, it is as if you don't want to show me" Kevwe told Chelsea, who was holding the gift bag that is similar to the one Kevwe got.

" Of course not" Chelsea replied, who was a little bit afraid her gift wouldn't be special if he got her the same gift as Kevwe's,making it that they are just friends and he has only friendship in mind. She opened the bag for Kevwe to see.

" He also got you a burger, a Pepsi and fries with tomatoes sauce. What is that in the little nylon nag inside?" Kevwe asked looking inside the bag with Chelsea.

" I don't know " Chelsea replied, " Stop procrastinating and bring out " Kevwe told her excitedly.

" Okay, hold your horses. I'm bringing it out" Chelsea told Kevwe as she brought out the bag and inside there was something that was gift wrapped.

" Wow, he got you a gift, so sweet, open it!" Kev we exclaimed.

" " Show down I'm opening it " Chelsea said as she  opens it and saw it was a book, " Oh, my God" She said excited.

" What, what is it " Kevwe asked impatiently.

" He got me a book" Chelsea told her, " A book, let me see" Kevwe said. as she collected the book from Chelsea's  hand, "Redeeming love" She said as read out the name of the book," Isn't this book you were so into in school?" She asked Chelsea.

" Yes, it is" Chelsea replied happily.

" About a man name Micheal that lady called Angle, their story was kind of like Hoses and his wife" Kevwe asked.

" Yes, you are correct" Chelsea answered.

" In the story wasn't that guy so forgiving to is wife" Kev we asked.

" Yes, you are so correct" Chelsea replied.

" Wow, your guy is awesome. From the storyline of this book, it's like he knows that he is going to offend you to day and he came prepared" Kevwe said.

" No, I didn't think so , I remember I was looking at this book one day I met him in a supermarket that sells book, I didn't know he was still in there when I went to the book session. I always wanted a hard cover of this book, but I have never gotten one, since I have a soft copy. It is  as if he knew I wanted the book so much by the look on my face" Chelsea said, " But since I didn't buy it, he took matters into his hands and bought the book for me" She told her friend.

" But since you didn't buy It he took matters into his hands and bought it for you , this is so romantic" Kevwe said.

" I was even planning on going back to get the book later, this week, when I remembered I saw it that day" Chelsea told her.

" And your knight in shining armor came to your rescue" Kevwe said, " Just like in the Korean dramas" She said.

" Where are you going?" She added as Chelsea picked up her phone.

" I want to make I call " Chelsea answered.

" You are calling Dennis right?"Kev we asked.

" Yes" Chelsea replied.

" Okay, let me give you two some privacy" Kevwe said.

" Okay, thanks" Chelsea replied.
