"Hello, how are you?" I asked.
"I'm fine, wow, I didn't expect this call at all, I'm surprised"
"Yeah, I also didn't expect I'll call you. Well em I want to ask a favour from you...? " I wanted to go straight to the point, I don't like the vibe around her so I need to end this conversation soon .
"Ohh, okay, anything sweetie " she answered.
"I need you to text me your hostel block number and all, I need to see Cora, I should call her but it's more of a surprise."
She was quiet for a while then she finally spoke up "well okay, she's staying with me at my new place.... You can as well come today, I'll text you the address soon"
Cora didn't tell me her friend Anita moved away and neither did she tell me she was staying with her.
I thought they weren't in good terms.. well we hadn't talked for a while so there was no way I would have found out.&
Cora's POVThe Saturday was just too boring, I spent the whole day chatting with Derrick.Debra had gone to play snooker somewhere I didn't know, I teased her on how she liked doing things that were just off and meant for guys and when she had no comeback for me, she took my car keys and ran off.Aisha decided to take Rona and Anu to show them some shops where they could get quality and 'EXPENSIVE' clothing so they could stop wearing the cheap things they called clothes because she couldn't afford to be seen in public with people that still dressed the way they dressed, not in this modern world.Well, those were exactly her words.I didn't want to go out because my period was due, it was Saturday today but it should have come since on Thursday and with the sugary things I've been taking for the past few days I know it'll come with cramps , so I just had to stay home and wait fo
TIMI'S POVThe look on Cora's face didn't look nice and I knew she was going to leave any time soon. I wasn't going to allow that happen not anymore, I had to calm these odd feelings I had, I just needed her beside me.And now that I've found out Anita isn't a true friend after all, I would have to stop calling her."this one you people are acting as if this is one love movie, hope you remember I'm still here " Anita spits out." what part of keep quiet don't you understand. "I yelled as I threw down the hideous flower vase in anger." if you say any word again Anita, I'll break your head this time and I mean it " It was an empty threat but I just had to say it.I was shooting daggers at her eyes then I noticed she wasn't focused on me, she looked past me, I turned my attention back to where Cora was but she wasn't there, she ran off.This w
TIMI'S POV"and so foolish of me and honestly just.......Before I could say something nonsensical again her lips came crashing to mine. She was at the gate some seconds ago, I didn't even notice when she came towards me.The kiss was unexpected and my hands with their own brains moved to her waist and before I knew it, I raised her up and she wrapped her legs around my waist still kissing me with so much fire , I didn't mind her already fallen bag, I would take care of that later. I carefully placed her on my car's bonnet and explored every part of mouth that I could. Her lips tasted like orange and it made me wonder if she just drank her favourite 5 alive.We shouldn't be making out in the compound, someone might see us but again, I didn't care about other people's thought and Cora was obviously not the shy type.I brought my lips down to her neck, rubbing her neck softly which made her mu
He was acting like a kid and it made my blood boil." what do you mean if he dies? Are you out of your mind? " he had to be kidding me." I just mean what if ... Like, you know.... Ohh God, I'm sorry, I probably seem insane "" you are insane now kindly drive me to school " I begged.He still didn't drive, he was just so stubborn, he liked to pass his point and get things done to his taste." whenever I'm with these ladies, a different name just pop into my head and I tell them something else because I don't intend having anything serious with them but they just always seem interested in me " he explained." okay, now lets go "" my name is Time, please know that " he looked straight into my eyes." I know your name is Timi and I know you are mentally fucked up "He nodded again before finally driving.
" you see, just call her Debra, don't stress it " I pointed out, again she smiled." can you drive? "I asked" not really "" I can teach you someday that's if you would change from your formal ways sha " I was surprised I said so." aww, thank you, that would be nice but I will change on one condition "" So church girls make deals too? " I teasedShe laughed "have you accepted God as your Lord and personal Saviour"The question threw me off guard as I almost hit a tree. "blood of Jesus" she muttered."why the sudden change of subject? "I queried." i just want to know "" well, I give my life to Christ every Sunday , so what's up? I'm not entirely a bad girl " I felt guilty already." I'm sorry if you think I'm judging but I want to make
Times passed and I knew I had gotten so attached to Timi. I couldn't explain it but he was always there for me.He'd sometimes go to work for almost a whole week before returning back to Emeka's place. It was quite a distance but the selfish part of me didn't care.Rona made it a point of duty to always condemn me for having a boyfriend while parading myself with Timi either going sight seeing or hanging out with him.I consoled myself by reminding myself that Timi was just a friend and nothing special was attached to it.Whenever Derrick called me and we have our typical one hour+ conversation, my heart would bleed and wished he was around me and I could see his face and be rest assured that he is mine and not Timi. I didn't want to accept that I had something for Timi, I just felt like he was a best friend or something.There were times when Timi and I would get into silly fights like why I choose to
I had to get my hair and nails done. Timi offered to accompany me there and pay for it. I agreed.While the hair dresser made my hair, Timi and I talked."so you're trying to say she's heart broken? "he asked again still not understanding what happened to Aisha." well, yes "" but you said she claimed not to love the Kazeem guy.." he queried"yes, she didn't entirely like Hakeem... HAAA-KEEM "I explained, deliberately stressing the name. The hair lady forcefully turned my head to the right as I was looking at Timi." excuse me, can you go easy on her? Thank you" Timi firmly says to the lady. She apologised and continued with what she was doing."honestly, if I didn't like you ehhn, I wouldn't consider ever associating myself with the type of friends you have, you girls are as dramatic as the Kardashians "I
My life was going fine.Apart from the stress of attending classes, Rona's continuous pestering on me to go to church, Aisha's mood swings, Debra's occasional tantrums... Life was good.Timi had gone back home and it's been a month I last saw him. I thought I would die but Rona's pestering would be enough to bring me back to life."can you girls come with me to church? "" Debra, you have a nice voice, why don't you join the choir "" come, let's have a minute of prayer "" Do you know God is a great God! "" I believe you know Jesus is the way, the truth and the life "" can you speak in tongues? "Aisha would always scream at Rona.One day, when Rona started her usual bugging.Debra who was having this severe headache turned to her and asked "would you mind going to club with us tonight?"&
