Chapter 9

• James stared at Nathan stunned, he never expected him to proudly admit to his speculation, but he refused to lose to a seventeen year old boy. “Then you will start by telling her how you feel.”
• “I will, definitely, but at the right time,” Nathan replied.
• James shook his head, “there is no such thing as the right in love boy, you know what I think? I think you are scared. Yes, you are afraid to tell her how you feel because you are afraid of her answer. But that’s not the only reason you are afraid, you are also afraid because you know she is going to point out the obvious. You are ten years younger than her. She was there when you were conceived; she was there when you were put to bed. She bathed you and she changed your dirty diaper. She can’t be with you; you are like a brother to her. And what’s more, people are going to talk, your union will do nothing but make people spit out in disgust and knowing Tracy, she will never want a life like that.”
