Sept 28

Abiola's POV

Immediately I got home at 7pm, I went straight to the bathroom. My parents weren't home, just the maids. I took a shower and prayed, checking my phone, I saw a missed call. It was from Konyii. An hour ago, I called her back immediately.

"Babe!" She said after picking up on the third ring.

"How are you?" I asked exhaustedly.

"I'm good. I didn't know when you became dumb oo." She said with a hint of mockery. I rolled my eyes.

"I was only distracted." I murmured, waiting for her laugh and she did. A mockery and hearty one.

"Who's on your mind that is making you distracted?" She asked, her tone still not leaving the mockery state.

"The new guy I met." I lied smoothly.

"Which guy? When?" She asked, more serious this time.

"I met him at that party I went with Mr and Mrs. He's cute, really cute and I just couldn't get him off my mind for a second." I said. I don't know how this lie was coming out smoothly, because, I had even forgotten I met someone and gave out my number to him.

"Wow, already gotten over him." I could sense the disappointment in her voice. I just had to act like I didn't know what she was saying.

"Over who?"

"Stop acting like you don't know who I'm talking about." I could feel her rolling her eyes.

"I..... It's just....." I trailed off.

"You... It's just...? You don't know what is wrong with you." She sighed. I also did the same.

Honestly, I didn't know what exactly was wrong with me. But if I ever say I don't like him, I should be thrown into a river, given I can't swim. I don't think we'll ever meet again and my ego won't let me just admit it once and get over all these. But I won't ever hear the end of it from Konyii and I won't be surprised if Ayo joined too, with the smug look he gave me today.

"Admit it. And you'll have a happy ever after." She said before she started laughing. "I'm just joking, there's no happy ever after. You guys fight a lot. But you could make it work."

"He's gone." I sighed.

"And you admitted!" I slapped my forehead, I forgot how sneaky Konyii could be.

"No, I'm just say-"

"Fem. You love him."

"Who's talking about love now?" I rolled my eyes.

"You!" I could imaging her dancing already.

"I can see you have nothing important to say, I want to sleep."

"Daddy saw Ayo yesterday." She blurted out. I could feel the uneasiness in her voice. Their dad was something else lately.

"And what happened?"

"First he called me a slut and then he said he doesn't want to see me with him again. I don't know what to do and you know what that old man is capable of doing!" She started sniffing. I could tell how scared she was, honestly, if I was in her shoes, I'd be crying already.

"Calm down, he's not going to do anything. He has nothing against Ayo. Besides, when he meets him in person and talk, he's gonna like him. Don't be scared sugar." I consoled her. She always had this 'I'm not scared of you' look in front of her dad, but inside, she's scared shit less.

"No, that oldie has a gun for heavens sake!" She exclaimed. True, he did have a gun. "I don't want him to do anything to Ayo, I might end up leaving this house for him. But my younger sisters...." She trailed off.

"He won't do such thing, your mom still has rights over him. Does she know?" I asked hoping she does, so we'll have one person on our side.

"Yes she does, but I don't know what his mom keeps telling him!" She lamented.

"Don't worry, be calming down. Everything would be fine, or imma kick his ass. I'm just kidding oo." we both laughed at the end.

"Thanks, I love you." She said.

"And I hate you." I replied.

"Yes, I know. I'll tell Tobi you love him, you told me to tell him and he'll come back and sweep you off your feet!"

"No! I didn't say anything like that! OK, I love you, I love you so much!" I said defeatedly. Honestly, I won't be shocked if she actually tells him anything.

"Ah, not working." And she hung up. I hissed and turned away from my phone.

Knock, knock!

"Who's there?" I asked as I heard a knock on my bedroom door.

"Oh, it's me, Gaby." Now, Gaby. Where do all this maids come from?

"Come in." I stated and watched a plump and short lady, who looked a little older than I am, walk in.

"Your dinner is ready, do I bring it up, or you'll come down?" She asked. I contemplated having dinner. I looked at my flabby stomach and sighed. I need to go to the gym, ASAP.

"I'll have it here." I replied, making her nod her head, before walking out of my room.

I slumped on my bed, my mind wandering to one particular dark skinned guy, that has refused to leave my head. I turned towards my closet and remembered the hoodie I got from him, I still wondered why he gave me that though. I didn't know when I got up and went into my closet to change into the pair of hoodie and sweatpants. I came out shortly after to find my food carefully placed on the table in my room. I walked towards it and sat down, looking outside at the magnificent view of my pool. A very light blue pool, with led lights attached to the bottom. It's been long since I went there, I made a mental note to visit there.

I opened the plates in front of me and saw the spaghetti and Italian sauce on it. Staring at it for so long, I felt as if Tobi's name was written on it. I knew I was being paranoid, so I shook my head and began eating. Half way through I lost appetite, which is something that never happens, atleast not with spaghetti. I played with the food a little more, before deciding to take it back downstairs. I dropped it on the kitchen Island and cover it, before waling out of the kitchen. I was walking to my room, when I took a u-turn and walked to the pool at the back of my room.

I removed my sponge Bob fluffy slippers and put my leg in the cold water. It had a clear covering, which made it possible to see the water, but also impossible for dirt to go in it. I texted Lilly to help me turn on the heater, I got cold easily from my legs, then it spreads to my body. I turned around and saw her peeking from the window in my room, I waved and she did the same. Slowly the water started getting warm. I shivered slightly before calming down and relaxing.

I missed him, his touch, the kiss we shared. It felt so wrong but so right. Even Tope that would always find a way to tease him any chance she got, which was everytime. I chuckled as I remembered the day I went over to his house really soaked from head to toe. The way his eyes lingered on my chest a little longer than normal and Tope had put some sense into him. I wondered how such a sweet girl could be suffering from that kind of sickness, it broke my heart, but she never acted like she was sick. Just living life the way it was meant to be lived. While some people that weren't sick and don't have to watch what they eat, took their life, simply because, their lover broke up with them and they felt they won't be able to live without them. Why would you kill yourself? You came to this world alone and you expect to leave with someone? Just know that, if someone out there doesn't appreciate you, there's another, who would do anything to be with you. So don't end your life simply because you feel you aren't enough. Trust me, there's someone that would love you for you. You so font need to depend on anyone for your happiness. Happiness is from within, live life to the fullesta and don't let some insecurities take away your happiness. There are thousands of people, wishing to live out there. So give life a chance and always see the good side.

I felt a tap on my shoulders and turned around to find Konyii looking at me weirdly.

"I've been calling your name since! Or were you thinking of Tobi again, I could call him if your too proud to do it." She said smugly, making me roll my eyes.

"I thought we just spoke some minutes ago?" I asked her.

"I know..... Who's clothes are those? You definitely don't...... Holy bahamas potatoes, you're wearing Tobi's cloth!!" She screeched, making me almost fall into the pool.

"Gosh, be calming down. He gave it to me." I rolled my eyes. "How'd you know it's his?" I asked and she dragged the hood to my face almost strangling me. I looked and saw the tiny prints of his name on the edge of it. I hadn't noticed it earlier.

"You never told me." She stated, grinning from ear to ear. I wondered what was wrong with her.

"Anyways, what's wrong?" I asked her.

"I left the house for him." That was all she said for me to know it was her dad.

So I was supposed to post this yesterday, but I was busy. It was my birthday so, my sister and her friends celebrated it for me, making me not have time.

But enjoy. Vote, comment and share❤🎊🎉🎇❤
