Hmmm, it was another wonderful day, I woke up and I was very excited. I called my two friends and we went to the studio to take pictures together.
My name is Jordy and I am 23 years old, I live in Lagos in Nigeria with my two friends Amanda and Clara. The three of us have been friends since high school and we lived in the same area. I am a Doctor by profession, I work in a general Hospital. I live alone but my parents live outside Lagos, we are very far from each other but I visit them during festive periods and buy them gifts too. I and my friends went to the studio to take pictures together, we knew the owner of the studio. His name is Claire, He is older than me with 3 years difference. Claire is a white man, I love Claire so much but I don't know how to express myself to him. Claire and I have been friends for about 4 years and.... now.
Claire chose to settle down in Nigeria for some time before going back to his country. He is a wealthy man but he kept his profile low, he wants to live a quiet life. Claire is a photographer and a make-up artist too. I and my friends
Amanda and Clara
went to meet Claire and we told him we would like to take pictures together. He told us to give him some time to freshen up and clean the place, my friends couldn't wait so they left me behind and told me to call them when Claire is done. I helped Claire in cleaning the studio and we made breakfast together, Claire took his bath and we are together.
Sometimes, when I look at Claire I wish he would confess his love for me rather than being his friend. Claire knows my family, and sometimes he visits my parents when am not chanced. When I was done eating, I called my friends and they told me they wouldn't make it again because they were with their boyfriend. Sometimes I envy my friends because their boyfriend cherishes and loves them a lot but I don't. My unrequited love for Claire has been 4 years now and he only sees me as his friend. I don't even dare to tell him how I feel, Claire always helps me when I needed comfort, someone, to talk to, and when am in trouble. I behave childishly which makes Claire afraid that I might get cheated in one way or the other.
I explained to Claire what my friends told me, and he said it was okay, we could come next time.
