Cora's POV
The 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?"&
Cora'S POVI had this school work I was working on and after successfully get through the typing on my laptop, I had to go and print it out in the school's cafe.I walked to the cafe since it wasn't that far from our hostel."yeah, so I'll like to print out something" I say to the cafe guy.I gave him my flash and showed him the file I wanted him to help me print.As he worked on it, I sat down on a chair and then brought out my phone to keep myself busy.Timi hadn't sent a text or even called, he told me he would so busy this particular day.I turned my attention from my phone to the little gathering that formed at the cafe's door.What was happening?I was tempted to stand up and check but I was engrossed one of Timi Dakolo's video, his voice is just so amazing.I smiled remembering how Timi said I was a fan of Tim
Anu and Rona had long done their convocation.Timi and I were no longer together, he cheated on me.It seemed his play boy nature came crawling back.I thought I could manage, I mean, some years ago, I always told myself that if my boyfriend cheats on me, I wouldn't break up with him but please, it's easier said than done.I focused on school's work, this was my final year, I wouldn't let a man make me mess up in school.I continued my going to club, hanging out with different guys.....dating different guys actually.It was like my old self had come back.Though it wasn't entirely as before when I was always being mean to people, I just resumed being my old social self.Life was better without Timi.-Convocation without Timi.He's just
"Olivia, Jennifer" I called out.We walked into the room, nobody was there, Aisha entered the bathroom."oh my......" She screamed.Debra and I rushed into the bathroom"Jesus""oh my God" .Timi came towards us"what happened?"We didn't need to answer because he could see Olivia on the floor, blood all over."this is what I was talking about. This was what I meant by a dangerous game....... Is she dead?"Aisha cried.Debra bent to feel her pulse and all" I don't know... I c-can't tell" it looked like she was terribly scared.Her expression seemed blank and the last time Debra had a face like this, she awfully cried her eyes out that day , that was like years ago, the last time I saw her cry: the first time her mom disowned her.But I doubted if she would actually
"I didn't expect you'd come" I tell Timi."I'll assume Cora told her boyfriend about today and you people na decided to come and why on Earth would you guys wear an agbada to an orphanage"Aisha sighed.Yeah, they were both on this blue 'agbadas' looking as fresh as ever.Timi explained"no we didn't wear it to go with you guys, we are actually going to a colleague's wedding, we just came to drop some few things""you both look silly" Aisha rolled her eyes. It seems she had her monthly visitor because she was always with the attitude whenever she's on it."what things?" Debra asked Timi. Before he could answer, she walked over to their car, looked in it."A fine big bag, a carton of indomie, some other fine bags and ohh, a bag of rice" She called out.We turned to the guys to give an explanati
"Yeah" I buried myself in his arms."Hey Rona" She smiled at me."Guy, I hope you both had fun?" Timi asked as he placed his hand on Jude's shoulder. His Eternite
"If anything happens, blame it on yourself and besides you said you'd go drop me off?" I asked."yeah, we'll go back to our place now, get dressed and I'll take you to whatever cinema and when you’re done, I'll come with Rona to pick you off and then take you back to hostel" he smiled."you are creepy" I say to him.He and Emeka gave themselves slapping handshakes laughing.We got back to Emeka's place, I went to wear something simple, no need to stress it, I had no intention of impressing Jude.Coming out, Emeka nodded at me in admiration but Timi frowned and asked me to go change the dress."the clothe is okay na, it's a fine dress" Emeka said."yeah, that's the problem, it's too fine and she's a fine girl... You suppose understand guy.... Sweetie, please wear something longer or anything"Chapter 152
" Dude, have you forgotten? I d-don't smoke " Timi instantly say to him."Ohh, true... yeah yeah, I forgot, my bad " his friend quickly answered.I had seen Timi smoke some couple of times.Well, many of my friends did smoke.The girls and I have all tried it several times, my elder brother Daniel once caught us and was really mad at us. He made us wash all the cars in our compound.We decided it wasn't good for us and we vowed never to do it again.I remember the time I saw Timi smoking and I gave him serious warning to stop it.Rona came into the living room, beret on her head."You all are still up? I just came here to get water from the fridge "She got her water and came to sit with us.We all become awkwardly quiet."Wow Timi, you can really make hair " sh
" because shouting is all you need to get sense into that head of yours " she fired." you're sick Deb, you need to see a doctor or something! "" no, you are the mentally deranged person here " she pushed her plate away making it break into pieces." What if Olivia has been right all these while, life isn't all about insults and aggression, can't you just take a chill pill and grow up ..... Besides, I don't even know what I did here "" she took Jude, she took Derrick and she's probably aiming at Timi and when she gets him, if you come crying to me, your own don done " she barked." and don't you ever in your life tell me to grow up because you are the one person that really needs to grow up "" whatever " I waved her off. I didn't like fighting with her but she's being stupid." whatever fire you there! " she gave me her five fingers 'waka'
" it's fine Olivia, I have forgiven you " I tell her.I could see Rona's face lit up at the word 'forgiven'." honestly Olivia, I've also missed you and the way things used to be "" me too and that's the reason I came here, I came to put things in order... You've always had a nice heart right from time and I know it wouldn't be hard for you to welcome me back but you see Aisha... Not even Aisha, Deborah in particular ehn " she laughed" calling her Deborah is even a crime " I joined her laughing." I know right " even Anu and Rona giggled.We were quiet for a while." remember that time your mom gave you custard to school? " she smirked.She didn't even need to say much, I almost fell down laughing." what happened to your custard? " Rona asked unamused.<
" oga chill, don't transfer aggression on me, we all know you are pained because Benita dumped you for Timi.... You sef, it's because you are not trying hard for her " she munched." please and please, it would be nice if you'll shut up"no honestly, it's obvious you still love her and as you're seeing me, I'm badly in love with Timi " she smirked" what exactly is your problem, look at you pregnant but still talking about loving another guy... Are you like psycho or something? " I yelled" so falling in love makes one psycho? Check again! " she still smirkedI stood up to leave "I'll leave you to your issues, I just came to check on you, bye."Wait " she called outFrowning I turned to look back, she was on her feet alread" I can help you " she said softly" why would I need your help?"
