12- Closer To Him (Book 2)

Aniya’s pov:

As soon as our coffee orders were taken, I began grilling Elijah. “What do you want to talk about, Mr. Elijah? If you are expecting me to tell you about Eve’s whereabouts, then I am sorry.”

I was exhausted after a long day at work and all I wanted was a warm bath. I agreed to meet him because I wanted to see my friend’s happiness again.

“No. I don’t want any whereabouts, Ms. Aniya. I need a favor,” he replied, his voice pleading.

I scrunched my nose and looked up at him, curious but also wary. ‘And what is that favor?” I asked.

He looked at me, and I noticed the under-bags around his eyes, evidence of sleepless nights and too much pressure. He took a deep breath before speaking again.

“Can you convince Eve as a friend to let me talk to her? To let me in her life for a little while? Just ask her to give me a chance.”

What was it about these men? They make you run away in the opposite direction and then they come after you waggling their tails. Earlier it was Tyler and now Mr. Elijah. I raised an eyebrow, still stern but also feeling pity for him. “And why can’t you do it yourself, Mr. Elijah?”

He seemed frustrated by my question but didn’t react. “I don’t want to upset her or scare her off. I have promised her that if we won’t click, we will part ways like two decent people.”

I couldn’t help but feel skeptical. “That’s decent enough. Then how come I am in this equation?” I asked him.

“Ms. Aniya…” he began.

“Please call me Aniya,” I interrupted.

“Yeah. Aniya. The deal is,” he leaned forward, ’We need to meet and give time to each other, just to see if we will click or not. We can’t go our separate ways if we are not seeing each other at all.”

I could see the desperation in his eyes, and I couldn’t help but feel sorry for him, “So you, see? How can we part ways without giving us a chance?1’

The man did have a point, “Okay, I’ll talk to her. But no promises, Mr. Elijah,” I said, trying to be clear.

“Please call me Elijah. I… I know that… how she suffered, two years ago. And lost her loved ones.” He told me and I didn’t know what to say. Who shared this with him?

Maybe Eve did.

There was something fishy going on. He met Eve at Justin’s place and somehow that old flame rekindled. Just like that?

Nah! I couldn’t believe it!

“And what if my friend is interested in someone else?” I looked straight into his eyes, “She might be seeing someone already.” When he tried to open his mouth, I raised my palm to make him quiet.

He might be handsome but that doesn’t mean I won’t have a say in it.

“A few days back, she was seeing someone. And was genuinely happy. If that man is in her life, then sorry, Elijah. You don’t stand a chance.”
