    He became emotional bute back to reality when James threw a question at him.


    “Do you love Pam?”James whispered.


    “Do you love her?, Ang”Romeo asked.


    “Why are you answering question with question, it’s obvious you love Pam” James said.


    “And is obvious you also like Ang” Romeo said.


    “Why don’t you walk straight to her and tell her you love her”James said.


    “If it was so easy why haven’t you tell Ang you loved her, check yourself” Romeo said.


    “It was because of you that’s why I haven’t tell her” She’s attracted to you, so I think if you asked Pam out, then I can asked her out. She’s always around you 24/7. James said.


    “Are you normal, she’s always around me as how. Except from the ss, and anytime I took a break from the restaurant, that when she’s always with me. And one hour tutorial.


    So what are you saying”Romeo defend himself.


    “But, she almost spent all her time with you” James said.


    “Don’t used that as an excuse. We are just friends, and she also like a sister, tell her your mind am not disturbing you, “Romeo whispered to him.


    “Sir, ma I will go to the doctor for her discharge. So that we can go back to school” Romeo said and stood up.


    “No Romeo, I want to spend time with my family. Pleaseeee “Ang pleaded.


    “Don’t mind her, I will go, you should stay here” Sir Smith said.


    “Okay sir” Romeo said.

    “Pam” Romeo called.

    Pam took his hand away and was about to leave.


    Romeo hold her from behind.


    “I won’t allow you to go not until you listen to what I have to say, She’s just a friend, I promised” Romeo said.


    “Girlfriend, isn’t here, she’s your girlfriend” Pam said.


    “Why do you think so?”Romeo asked.


    “I have every reason to think she’s your girlfriend, atleast both of you are always together at the restaurant, who could tell if you two are having something romantic” Pam said.

    “Yes, that’s what she thinks”Kiles saiding with his friends.


    “Kiles l, will you please stay out of this” Romeo said.
