No More Discord
"What do you really want from me?", Abigail asked Mike as they both sat in the eatery facing each other.
Mike had long shown Abigail that he wanted her all to himself and wouldn't hesitate to do anything for her. They had been really good friends for almost 6years now, until Mike started to declare his intentions of wanting to be more than friends.
Abigail didn't have any issues whatsoever with her friend, she actually loved him and admired him a lot. But she wasn't ready to enter a relationship with him not because he wasn't good enough for her, she just didn't want to lose this wonderful friendship they both shared.
Each time she had tried to explain things to Mike but it only brought discord between them. She had even stayed away from him for a while hoping that this heated love he felt for her was going to die and he'll find someone else who tickles his fancy. But she was wrong, it only grew his feelings for her and he made sure he made it know to her.
He had sent her numerous messages all with the hope that she'll reply . He even went on to send her written notes with flowers everyday that month. After the last flower, she eventually agreed to meet him at the eatery they were now.
"Abigail, please give me a chance to fix things between us", Mike replied holding her hand and looking pleadingly into her eyes.
Meeting her in school that day was one of the best thing that had ever happened to him. She was the lead singer in the choir in his fellowship and was unmistakably beautiful.
At first, it all started off as an innocent friendship, he was drawn to her and was surprised that she too wanted to know him. The had shared a lot of happy moments together and a lot of people had even thought they were dating. They had been really close through out their stay in the university and were surprised to still meet at an interview and still connect.
He had been open to her and she had helped him through his hard times. Abigail wasn't like any girl he had met before and wasn't surprised when it had grown from mere admiration to love.
Without wasting time he had told her how he actually really felt but he was surprised by her reaction. Her reply really left him heartbroken and he felt helpless. She had given him reasons why she didn't want them to end up dating but he still couldn't see reason enough. He didn't want this discord that was eating their friendship up that's why he didn't give up. Those days had been the hardest for Mike, and he wanted a happy ending.
After talking with her for a while, and still meeting a hard wall, he sighed and just then, someone walked up to him, hugged him from behind and kissed his cheek. He turned around, smiled and kissed her back on the lips. And then turned to look at Abigail
" I want you to meet my fiance"
If only you could see the shock that had found comfort in Abigail's face.............

Thank you for reading this post, God bless you.
This is really a true one which has happened to me before. My close friend which we Later had feelings for each other, the friendship ended and wasn't like before
Yeah..I'm really sorry about that. It happens a lot and sometimes there's no way to control it but just to avoid the whole issue
I have learnt my lesson. I will learn how to avoid it next time
😆 this must have a continuation haha
Imagine! So she even loved him?? If not for the step he took damage would have felt like a goddess to him.
I just hope she find a man who would love her so dearly like he did
Yes o, I wished it had a continuation too, because Im looking forward to seeing how she'll react from then on.
Lol, can you even imagine, after all the years of denial, it took only one move for her to actually see what was there.
I hope she finds a man too, my fingers are crossed.
Thank you abdul my man for sharing your opinion, it's well appreciated.
Are you a Nigerian, your names sounds like one. If you are..are you in Lagos?
I am from Nigeria as you guessed. And from ogun state. But presently at kwara state.
Nice meeting you sir.
Nice to meet you my brother.
Hope kwara is really cool, do well to enjoy every bit of it
What! That last part really got me, wasn't expecting that, just as shocked as Abigail.
Thanks goodness she never gave his double ass face a chance.
And I pity the so called his fiancé, if only she could knew what she is in for.
It got us all shocked too, I just can't wait to see Abigail's reaction to the whole ordeal
And I pity the so called his fiancé, if only she could knew what she is in for.
Lol, I truely wish the story had a continuation so we'll really get to understand better what he really wanted.
This is really great writing Chinco! I completely got it. The unrequited passionate love brought discord to their underlying friendship. So she stayed away from him to help ease his pain, hoping he'd find another. Whilst their friendship is estranged, he meets and falls in love with someone else, but can't help but remain sad about the friendship that he is missing and so he goes all out to try to mend the discord between them to show Abigail that he has moved on and that they can now be friends, and therefore does everything possible to make amends and brings his fiancee along to show her that his feelings have changed and that Abigail can feel safe in their friendship now. The kicker is that Abigail, upon seeing the closeness between Mike and his fiancee, suddenly realises that her feelings have changed over the years and that she has now fallen for Mike, or she simply realises that someone else now shares a special closeness with him and this makes her heart sad and jealous. I have seen similar scenarios IRL and it is so sad to see.
Yes, yes, yes!!. You get it @samsmith1971..
You just explained everything the way it actually played out in my head.
The twist at the end , even Abigail didn't expect it. She was feeling that mike was still trying win her over when all he actually wanted was to fix the discord between them and have his friend back..
Nb: I'm beginning to like this discord word haha..
Exactly, no matter how hard she tries to admit it, she always secretly enjoyed the chase, always enjoyed knowing that mike was head over hills for her.
But I guess that's about to change now.
Thank you dear, for making this piece come to life, I had double thoughts if any one would be able to understand it, but you did. You're a darling ❤️

Okay the first half sounded very much like my story, but it ended well for me.
I thought we could be better friends when we were married.
Discord and misunderstandings in relationships are common.
Just knowing what to do and how to handle them is what will get people out of them.
So you both ended up together??.. I'll love to hear the remaining part of your own story.
Yeah very true, it's not something alien, for me I feel it's a necessity for a good relationship to stand. How you take care of determines how well the relationship becomes.
Thank you for your contribution dear 😌
Hope to write about it sometime.
all my pleasure.
Excellent writing. The truth is, the best relationship is the one that comes out of friendship and that's what Abigail didn't know. Now she just lost Mike, I hope she gets to find someone who would love her the way Mike did.
Thanks for the encouragement!.
Yeah she didn't know that, and ended up losing what was of great value to her. I don't entirely blame her though, because it doesn't always work out every time and I'm sure she was trying to avoid losing a good friendship. Guess she over did it and hopefully, she'll get lucky in finding another person like mike.
Thank you for taking time to read this
yeah, hopefully, she would get lucky to find someone like mike... This is a very good story write. I enjoyed reading. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for reading.. God bless you
