“Do you want to join me in the shower?” Favor tiptoed to his earlobes.Lekan frozen at this. It was so uncomfortable for him that he gritted his teeth, scratching his head in confusing. Who would have known that this seemingly innocent girl would know how to tease like this?It was tempting. The way she still stood by his side, having a teasing smile on. Like she was goading him on to accept it. And there was nobody around, unless she had someone else who did come into the house when the May was not home. Aside from that, the house as theirs. And he felt very tempted to take her then.But what if it was a test? Lekan swallowed on the spot. He held out against his instincts that urged him to accept the proposition. Holding himself back in place was hard. Especially as he was someone who attended a boys only boarding school. This made it a sort of golden thingy for them to be with girls. Those who attended boys only boarding school usually developed the attitude of shyness for thei
Lekan dismissed the thoughts that plagued him about Blessing. And Leslie.Ther was little to no point in discussing about it. Or even reasoning about it. The more he thought, the more he’d miss them. He could not have that. Better to stay focused on the now, better to understand his present situation than cry over spilt milk. Like the saying went, Lekan iterated once more, respect the dead. With that, he smiled uneasily as he stepped out of the room. The house was pretty easy to navigate. It was roughly, as he guessed, a two bedroom flat of sorts. And the only room that was opposite the room to Favor was the room that should belong to her mother.That is, if the two of them were actually related wuth one another. These days, he found it hard to just believe things around him. He had to take the time, he fully convinced before he could come to terms with things as the realty.He heaved as he navigated to the sitting room which was also shared with the dinning room. Over there, he m
“So how are you doing today?” Monsieur Dayo asked the figure of the kid in front of him.It was Frank. The same Frank who he had to shut down during his mayhem. During the psidoal clash he had with Lee Min. It had been hectic to do that. And he was thankful that he had the others with him. Particularly, Blink. The fact that he has a system that could shut down the operation of other systems did not always make him invincible. There were certain precedents that had to be followed right before he successfully bagged a win. Though it was not much of a big deal since he did shut down Frank now, the memory kept on lingering in his head. What if he had not been able to do that? What if Frank has done something to him?Was that simply because of the pores of the system that he had? Or was that because his own system was dialing? That was impossible, Dayo cleared that thought of his mind. His system never failed. Of the systems that the Bureau had created or curated, there was a very littl
“It was an accident.” Frank sighed defeatedly at Dayo. He shrugged, looking at him with an exasperated look now. It seemed as though the man enjoyed having him look this defeated. Something about his stats, his pleading seemed to excite the man now. Which she did not get. Not in the least bit. It was an accident. What more could he say?“It was an accident. I would never want to kill anyone like that. I mean. He deserved it though.” He said under this breath as he recalled the annoying acts that Lee had pulled him.“Maybe if he had just after normal, then I would not have snapped. You know.” He sighed now. Then dropped to sit. Dayo looked at him motionless, a smile to his face. Something about how he said he was innocent and should be given another chance and yet was still throwing shades at his victim was interesting. He was the type of System Host who he would consider or be pathologically dangerous to the others. He could make the hard calls and act like it did not matter. Some
“Yikes!” Dayo muttered, scratching the back of his head as he leaned back. “That went dark, pretty fast.” He laughed shortly.“What? I thought you wanted to hear it?” Frank asked him. Then they shared a laugh. A short one albeit. Frank sighed at this. Maybe he was not that bad, this man who was with him. It occurred to him then that he did not even know his name. The name of the one man who put him down was not known to him. At least, for the feat he pulled out that day in stopping him, he had to know who he was.Though he had to admit, his face was very unfamiliar to him. Not like he knew a lot of people. Something about him just scream he was not from around here. And to that, he was very curious. He cleared his throat and then clasped his hands, wiping off the smug look from his face.“Are you from around here? I don’t think I know your name, sir.” He said.“Why does that matter?” Dayo laughed at him. Then he straightened up, after seeing the dead serious look on the face of Fr
It took a lot of convincing to get her to agree with him. It got to the time when he was so sure he’d leave without her. That is, he would have to leave her in the house. It just hit him wrongly to have her remain in the house while he was out there. And for that reason, Lekan kept on insisting. Finally, the reluctance of Favor wore out as he shut the door behind them. She had a blue short on, tight to her body and a white spaghetti top on. Then she wore a balck jacket on her body to cover the rest of her. Alongside with a black sun shades was a bit too much in his own opinion. But he would not judge her. After all, it took a lot to get her out in the first place. Why then would he ruin it to tell her that her fashion sense was a bit too much in this case? He just wanted to be out there. To get something, anything that would trigger his visions. That was the reason for steering her out on his own path. On her own path, she was stepping out to catch some fresh air and get
“Look, let me get something straight about this.” Favor clapped her hands as she exhaled now. “You say you want to get there and then we get your phone and we move, right?” “Yes, test it.” Lekan affirmed her words. “You know that is a terrible idea, you know, right?” “No, I said that we just met my phone and then we pop out of there. Your mum won't even know that we left the house, remember? That's the plan here.” Lekan said, pulling her into him. She was confused. Worried. She was scared of what would occur if her mom got her at the hospital. That much was clear from all the fighting she put up now. There was no time on his part. No time for him to continue with this conversion. For the most part,he did not know how to engage her in such a way. He just wanted her to agree with him but there was nothing he could do in this case. Without his phone he had no means of getting money It was not like he could just go to the company and ask them to give him some money or whatnot
Lekan harrumphed as he got out of the car. Once he was outside, the person of Favor moved to the driver and paid for their cab fare. He stood, sighing deeply as he pondered over what he had just seen. Was he now turning insane? It Was hard to say. One thing he did know was that he was sure that he saw the blonde behind them. If the blondie was out at the same time when he decided to come to the hospital, what did that say for him? He sighed again, for teh umpteeenth time. His mind decided against going into the hospital. It no longer looked feasible for him. At least, until he could find a way around this. He looked at Favor who in turn returned the look at him. There was a question in her eyes. There was always a question in the eyes of Favor. Only that this time, she was silent about it. And he was grateful for that act. There was so much he did not understand. The best she could do about that, was not to bombard him with queries. Not that it would matter once they g
