Keep Dreaming

She stood there watching the guys happy face not understanding why he had brought her to the top of the building.

" Don't tell me your are afraid of hight common come sit I promise you .you won't be disappointed by the view " He smiled bringing his hand forward for light to take.

She finally moved taking his hand he pulled her forward as she sat down by his side.

" Look ahead and listening carefully to every sound " He spoke still smiling staring forward.

She could see the whole city of Lagos from the hight the sat on the building she stared down at the students running on the filed smiling at the view her eyes stare back forward at the city it was late with all the lights in the city turned on looked like a wonder land cars moving on the street.

" You hear it " She heard the guy speak by her side turning to watch him shaking his head .

" Hear what ? " She asked confused not getting his guest.

" Stop over thinking Light just listening with all of you heart and senses let your ears focus " He spoke humming a music silently.

Light breathed in and out placing all her full attention on the sound and then she heard it the music the beat of the city. it was steady and common but it was their the roar of cars and buses the noisy streets the drumming and playing of children the frying and spoons clashing against iron pots by the food sellers on the street the silent breeze the screams of men all together watching ball.

She smiled broadly hearing the messed up tone. She heard the the guy by her side sing the song he was humming silently out loud with his eyes closed.

🎶 I'm not rich. and the street is my life

🎶 and it runs trow my blood . it a home for me .

🎶 When you come to Lagos and you step into my home land ..

🎶 And you hear this tone all it brings to yeah... it a so low ... a different vibe ..and you can't deny when you feel the life.

🎶 Rush of vibes on you all of the pretty girls want to dance to the tone.

🎶 I cant lie I come from the geto and it my life

🎶 All of my brother on the street they go tell you the stories of our Lagos strive

🎶 And you hear this tone all it brings to yeah..it a so low...a different vibes ...and you can't deny when you feel the life .

🎶 Oh... oh...oh ..When you feel the tone of the Lagos strive.

She smiled staring at the guys as he sang his eyes closed she tried so hard not to dance clapping her hands together.

He opened his eyes staring deep into hers for a second she felt she saw pain in them before it returned back to normal.

" Impressed beautiful that the music I hear anytime am up here I fall more in love with this city you most not have seen many parts of the city because your a dad's girl " He teased sighing loudly " I'm going to miss this city " He breathed out gazing forward.

" Miss it how ? " she asked not understanding what the guy meant.

" His my stone head scared that I would live her and she would never see me again already falling for my chams " He spoke smiling sweetly enjoying her look.

She rolled her eyes" Keep dreaming you can even go to hell for all I care "

He grained teasingly" Your sure I bet you be a crying mess if I left you. you be like oh ...no Anthony don't leave me please don't leave me "

she hissed getting a laugh from him " Keep fooling yourself don't come back to reality anyways thanks for bringing me up here your right I haven't seen much of the city even do I had dreams of touring it one day you most bring a lot of your girlfriend up here " She smiled turning to meet the guys eye that were cristal clear like the night his smile was gone from his face.

" This is my special sport no girl as been brought here expect you " He responds gazing forward.

" Me...why me " she asked not believing the guys words but he didn't sound like he was jocking or lying.

" Because your special and I just don't feel any girl will get it like you will. see you appreciate it as much as I do that why I brought you up here. when ever you think of me come here and remember this moment" He spoke in a low tone.

Light felt like he was talking like a dying man asking his wife to remember him.

" I don't think I would want to remember someone like you "

" Ouch ...that hurt. really but I won't want to forget someone like you Light " He spock attacking her heart for the second time with his cheesy words

" I have something to give you " He got up standing pulling her up as well the stood facing on another. Her heart beat picked up thinking he was going to kiss her.

" Close your eyes for me please and don't open them till I say so " He spoke gazing into her eyes not blinking even once it made her shaky and light headed.

Closing her eyes tightly she felt his breath against her face a wave ran down her spine. His finger brushed her neck she almost snapped her eyes opened to stop him from what ever action he was about to take.

when she heard his voice against her ear " Open your eyes beautiful"

She gentle opened her eyes a pendant was placed around her neck it was a locket she lifted it up to her eyes and opened up the heart shaped locket. it was a picture of him as a baby inside the locket.

" I Want you too have it that was when I was still pure and sweet as you. I want that picture to remind you that not everyone you see with a scare outside his bad some people wear a marks to shield themselves from everything " He spoke sitting back at the edge of the building she stood their frozen the wall she built around her heart crumbling down.
