" So you are a feminist?, I didn't know" She said.
" Yes I am a feminist, like I told you before" He informed her.
"Feminist ha!"She commented.
" What does the ha mean?" He asked.
" Nothing" She reply, " But you can prove how feminist you are by accepting my second challenge, I promise not to make you cry when I win and come out the victor between two of us" She teased him.
" And like I said you are full yourself"He told her
" Birds if the same feather flocks together as they say" She taunted him.
" You better take it back" He told her
" I was joking. But we are birds of the same feather, that's why we love each other. Or why else would we be in love?" She asked shocked by his outright rejection of being birds of the same feather and similar with her, " I'm I that bad?" She asked hurt.
" You don't know anything about love or understand love yet " He told her.
" I do " She argued.
" Not yet. Of course you Aren't bad. You are a good person. But we don't have to be birds of the same feather to be in love, and especially not in a bad way for that matter" He explained, " Sorry if me rejecting your statement made you sad. I will love to be similar to you in every way, because you are my world" He told her.
"And you are mine too"She said as they both smile at each other lovely, " But you can prove it by agreeing to my challenge" She told him.
" That's fine and I'm game if you are" Dennis agreed, " I love you and you know it " He added affectionately
" And oh boy, I do know it" She replied with a smile and a full filed grin.
" What sought of game?" He asked..
" Let's see who will read the most books this month" Chelsea suggested.
" You are pushing your luck" Dennis commented.
" I'm not. I think you are chicken and afraid . And you can't do it, that's why you don't want to" Chelsea taunted him playfully. Goading him to see if he will take the challenge.
" I can too" He insisted, " Like I said you just like being even with me and that's not possible. You just know you are very good with books and love reading very much that's why you are so confident about this challenge, don't deny it" He accused her.
" I agree I am and I will completely annihilation you in this book reading challenge, because like you said it is my field of expertise and not yours" She boasted" You know I will win this challenge ,don't lie. Just Fess up" She accused him, enjoying how serious he was taking her jokes, but he didn't know she was just joking and just wanted him to read a book with her. She just wanted to introduce him to the world of romance books. So that he can enjoy it just like her and with her. She really wants the both of them to be birds of the same feather , not just in words but in reality too and not only because they are in love. But because they were actually alike, not that a little bit of difference between them was wrong, bad or uncalled for. We can not all be the same, that will be so boring. Difference is good.
And Dennis was and is always good at everything he does and he had certificate and awards to prove and attest to it( his intelligence in mastering a lot of things, good things not bad things).
Not that she has seen any of his certificates, awards and trophy in real life. But on some of his post on his Facebook page. Although she wanted to know all about him. After all Dennis was a social butterfly both online and offline.Not because he was seeking attention or chasing cloud, but because Dennis loves people and he loves making friends. But she was the opposite, an Introvert true and true, with very few number of close friends, That's if her parents counts as one of her friends. Which they are, her first set of friends.
She could go through all his social media pages and handle to get the information she wanted. But she wanted him to give those important information to her willing. It shows he trusts her and there is transparency in their relationship.
And trust, honesty and transparency is very important in the human relationship just like in business. But more important in human relationships. We shouldn't manipulate the love others have for us or have given to us freely, in order to make ourselves feel good. We shouldn't take advantage of peoples love. We shouldn't regard love as being cheap and easy , because it was freely and easily given.
God recommends loving our neighbors as ourselves. Which is one of his most Important commandment after Loving God above all things and others. We loving our neighbors as ourselves means we treat others the way we want to be treated. That means we wouldn't treat others the way we don't want to be treated. We wouldn't treat others like trash .
We shouldn't be the reason someone would want to end his or her life or want to stop living. We shouldn't make people want to die and not want to live again or to loss all the happiness in life or even get close to contemplating suicide, not only is it the worst cruelty ever, even for humans but the person's blood will be on your head for ever. This is very inhuman of someone to his or her fellow human being. You must not love someone back, but don't make them hate their self just because they were willing enough to happily and freely love you, that doesn't value their love. Love is not foolishness , so don't take others love for granted. And don't make them feel foolish for loving you.
People should be happy loving each other and being in love. And we are human beings who are supposed to love and care for others and things around us just like ourselves, from the time God gave man dominance over everything on earth.
So why would we want to ruin, end or cause the end of someone's life .Whether it is done knowingly or unknowingly , we should mind and control what we say or do to others. You don't know when you might hurt someone without knowing it. Your words can mar or break someone.
So why not use your words and action to make someone happy and know life is worth living, just like Jesus our perfect example did . He made us understand that even a worst sinner like us can be forgiven and made whole. So let's make someone one happy, by loving them genuinely from our heart, it must not always be sexual love. There is agape love of God, friendship and filial love too and they both still exist.
Some people don't want to love others , while some can't due to the way they have been hurt over and over again by people's fake and unworthy love. That they showed them which isn't real , but an illusion, made by them to manipulate the emotions and feelings of others, a fellow Human being like them. They will do anything to control and keep others under their control and in bondage just because of the people's love for them.
Which is cruelty in the highest height and level. Which is very demonic and diabolical for a human being to do to others, not even to an animal, which also has feelings and life in them.
Later we will say the devil is the most wicked and evil person or being. And he was the one that pushed us into whatever evil we did. May God give us all the grace to sin no more.
Why would you continue to manipulate someon's love for your gain. Which will later lead them to deep depression, which is the worst feeling ever, with it you never feel totally and completely happy or full filled. If heartbreak doesn't kill the person , depression will finish where it started. Except the person over comes the heart break and comes out of it, or it will finally overcome the person.
You don't only play with the person's emotional health , but their mental health. How cruel, wicked and vile of that person .
Love is given freely because that is how God ordained it to be. It shouldn't be force , stolen or manipulated. After all we humans are supposed to have a mutualistic relationship and not a parasitic relationship. Where the host at the end dies or might die from the dependency of the pest.
We should have a reciprocated relationship, because why would you give someone your love if they are not going to love you back. And we humans wonder why love is had to find and trust is hard to earn and get these days. It's because a high and big percentage of the human population and race are highly untrustworthy and don't value or understand the essence or importance of love, honesty and trust. Which is a very vital and important part of the human race, which would help the world move forward. We only seek what we can gain from others and not what we can offer. We shouldn't always take and take, without giving anything back. That is a highly parasitic behaviour and we are not pest that drain the blood of their host, even to the last drop if possible. We shouldn't drain others dry of love, trust and anything else that is and was freely given to us. Especially of love, making them afraid or unable to love and trust anymoreWhich isn't right
That's why Chelsea will always love Dennis even if they don't end up together, Which God forbid to not them ,not having their happy ending. By the grace of God they would have their happy ending , she prayed and hoped. After all faith is the believe on the unseen. And God is our faithful God who always keeps his promises to us and never fails us.
Dennis first loved her and showed her she was lovable and worthy of love. Just like Christ loved us all first and his love is above and beyond any love , any human being can offer or give to us, in this world.
But being loved back was one of the greatest gift on earth, but humans toy with it Unfortunately.
That's why if you ever meet someone who actually love you for you and not for any selfish or materialist reason. Value and keep that love like a treasure that it is, because true love is not and is never easy to find. So if you ever find it, keep it , because it might , if not happen ones in a life time.
