Chapter 12: Chapter 12

VICTORIA'S POV...

"Now let the fun begin." Debby smirked.

"Ola...you're here....how'd you find me?" I stammered.

God why is my life so complicated?!

Why now, why did he have to come now? When I have a fucking boyfriend.

I mean I'm not trying to be rude.... I still like Ola a lot. But I also like Ayo. He is my boyfriend.

Wait I'm dating both Ola and Ayo. I'm double dating?!

Jesus, I'm committing sin!

I'm cheating on both of them!

"Hey, Temmy what happened?" Ola snapped his fingers and I blinked back to reality.

"Um...nothing. Just in a shock that you came...now, at this time. During school semester."

That's becoming too much. Shut the fuck up.

"Is it a wrong time...I'm sorry I.."

"N-no, no, it's not a wrong time. It's perfect....please if I may ask, why now, you don't usual come to me this time of the year." I tried my best not to sound awful.

"Temmy, I feel like you don't like that I'm here, I could just go." Ola insisted

"No! I'm cool that you're here, it's just..."

"I came because our school is on strike....till further notice."

Shit, I'm done for.

"Debby I think we should leave them." Nessa got up from where she sat.

"Ooo Nessa watin na. Dem use you do me?" Debby groaned.

"Yes ooo, dem use me do you. We're twins." Nessa began dragging her sister.

"Why are you doing like this na..." She grumbled.

"Let's leave them alone jhoor." Nessa kept pulling Debby's arm into her room.

"Bye-Bye." Debby smiled at Ola.

"What's going on?" Ola asked.

"Nothing, there're just surprised to see you." I replied with a little bit exaggerated shrug.

"I wasn't referring to them." He gave me a concerned look.

Awww. See how he cute like chipmunk.

"Me? Nothing is going on." I tried to hide how nervous I was.

Which was actually a terrible idea considering the fact that he knows me inside out.

"Lemme guess, you have a boyfriend and you're scared you might ruin the relationship from both parties cos I'm around." He sighed.

Shebi you see. I told you he knew me from inside to outside.

"Temmy, I'm not here to make things difficult for you. Yes I'm gonna be around for a while, probably a long time but...how about this, I'm gonna be here, not as your boyfriend since forever, but as your friend since childhood. Is that alright?" He asked.

No. I want to remain your girlfriend. You're the best boyfriend ever....Wait, but what about Ayo. Better goan reconsider what Ola is saying.

He noticed my hesitation and took a big step forward....and now, we were few centimeters apart and I'm taking in his features.

Victoria ki lò n śe è? (Victoria what is wrong with you?)

It's not my fault, he's the one that came close to me na. He was tall, but not too tall, but he was sha tall enough. His brown eyes were bright brown eyes were mesmerizing, once you take a look at them, it's almost impossible to look away...well except you get a glance of his lips. Perfectly carved, pink, and last time I checked, soft and delicious. His lips were moving, he was probably saying something, but I couldn't understand, I was just standing there like house fly that saw soured egusi.

God I can't help it, the fly is begging you...let me have what I want and let it not be a sin.

"Are you even listening to me?" Ola's brows furrowed a little, making his eyes have a hint of annoyance and frustration.

"No." I replied subconsciously.

"Temmy I said..." before he could finish, I clashed our lips together.

The bad news is, I'm not supposed to kiss another guy when I'm with someone else, but Ola isn't just another guy.

And the good news is....he kissed me back.

For a moment, we both just stayed in one position, like it's been a long time we felt each other.

Well it's been a long time. Like a year.

But then, his lips brushed mine and made its way to my lower lip.

Oh God...

"V. I wanted to...." Debby trailed off when she saw what before her eyes.

"Oh damn the spice just keeps getting spicier." She grinned at us.

Commot for here. You no see say we dey busy(Get out. Can't you see we're busy?)

"I'll leave you two." She winked at me before she left.

"She hasn't changed has she?" He asked and I laughed shaking my head

"No, she hasn't."

OLA'S POV...

She laughed at what I said about her friend and it made my heart flutter. She has the most melodious laughter....

"I really miss you." I told her truthfully and she bit her lower lip.

She's blushing.

Good, it means she's still the way I left her.

I won't lie, it's paining me that she has a boyfriend. Naturally when I come back from school, I see her at home waiting...for me.

It makes me happy. It feels like I'm the husband that just arrived from a long trip and his wife gladly waiting for him. Ready to do anything to make him happy.

But today, I came back and she was nervous. Not the good type of nervousness.

That type you get when your mum caught you stealing meat from her pot.

Yes. I know I said before that I set her free. It was very silly of me. I should've known this was going to happen.

God I feel like a small child.

All those years together, she knew I had more than one girlfriend, but she still kept cool, she still liked me...now she just ended up having one boyfriend...and I'm acting like a jealous dog.

I'm just glad that she kissed me. That means I still have her as mine.

And I'll keep it that way. I'll make her fall in a way she won't give a second eye to another guy.

"Do you want ice cream?" I asked and she smiled.

How cute.

"I always want ice cream." She replied.

"Then Let's go get you one...as long as you don't start crying by the end of the month." I warned.

She always cried when she was on her flow. I usually felt sorry for her. She cries like a baby.

My baby.

"When have I ever cried?" She asked as we made our way out of the house.

"What?" I raised a brow.

"Okay, maybe I cried just a few times..."

"A few times, you cry every end of the month." I said matter-of-factly.

"No I don't. I'm stronger than that." She pouted making me smile more.

She's so gonna be my wife.

"Okay o. Whatever you want to believe o believe. That's your business. All I know is don't come crying to me when you start seeing..."

"I won't." She interrupted.

Wait! I'm just joking o. Somebody cannot play with you again?

"Oya sorry." I poked and she flinched.

"Stop tickling me jhoor." She pouted.

I won't.

I kept poking and she burst into an unwilling laughter.

"Stop. Stop it. Ayo stop." I paused.

Did I hear wrongly or did she just say Ayo?

"What's wrong?" She asked already calming down.

She didn't even know?

"W-who's Ayo?" I asked and her eyes widened as realization dawn on her.

"H-he's my boyfriend." She lowered her voice.

No I am your boyfriend.

"For how long?" We both still kept walking on the side walk.

"Three months." She replied.

"You've gotten fond of him." It sounded more like a question than I expected.

"Um. well..." she trailed off but I gave her a urging gaze.

"I...like him." She said.

I swear my heart clenched at this. God it hurt so much. I felt like going on my knees to start begging her to like me back.

"You do?" I asked hoping she change her words.

But she didn't. She just shrugged.

"That means you don't...feel anything...for me anymore?" A hard lump formed in my throat.

"If I didn't, I wouldn't have kissed you in the first place." She said.

Okay, that's a relief. A huge relief.

But then again. It's not really possible to fall for two guys at a time. She has to like one more. And I'll make sure that guy is me.

"Let's go get ice cream."

I would have kissed her, but we're in public and there's a possibility that us kissing is gonna get to the so called Ayo.

Not that I care. It's just, it might really hurt her if the Ayo knew.

Ayo. Why does it feel like I've heard that name before?

Ayo, Ayo, Ayo.

Just forget about that nigga and focus on the beauty beside you.

Boyfriend khooor, boyfriend ní.
