Chapter 18: Chapter 18

AYO'S POV....

I was trying so hard to make her eat something, she just said she wouldn't.

That she wasn't hungry.

Whether you're hungry or not, I don't care, all I know is you gulped in strong chemicals into an empty stomach and you need food.

Well after an hour of trying to make her eat, we finally left the restaurant.

Then as promised, I took her to the hospital. I introduced her to my family's doctor and explained what happened.

The woman prescribed some drugs to her and warned her about the consequences if she continued taking in alcohol.

To cut the long story short, we left the hospital and now we're heading home.

.........................

VICTORIA'S POV....

He pulled over and I still didn't open my eyes, they were just too heavy for me to move them. I heard him hop out of the car, and after a few moment of silence, he opened the door for me and assisted me in coming down.

He was acting like I got involved in an accident or I was pregnant and heavy in labor.

I'm just ethanol intolerant. I drank alcohol and my body reacted to it.

Why's he acting like I'm gonna die soon?

Well I think it's kinda sweet.

Wait, this place looks oddly familiar.

I began to take note of my environment....

Why did he bring me here na?

"What's going on?" I asked making both of us pause.

"What do you mean?" He raised a brow at me. Making him look so...hot.

How did I forget that he offended me?

"When you said you'd take me home, I thought you meant my house, you know the one I share with the twins." I asked in a duh tone.

"It's gonna be extra late if I take you there, do you even know what the time is, it's 11:24pm almost midnight. I'm not willing to put your life at risk." He explained and I mentally nodded.

How sweet of him.

"I am not sleeping over at your house." I crossed my arms.

"V. Look around do you see anyone outside, I don't want you to argue with me about this one. I would hate myself if something happened to you." He told me

I miss him calling me babe.

"So let me get this straight, you, want me, to sleep in your house, where that slot for a girlfriend is? Not gonna happen." I tapped my feet on the floor.

I watched his jaw tick, then he sighed out.

"V. She's not here Okay, it's gonna..."

"Wait so it's just gonna be two of us....maybe you haven't noticed but we're ex's. Do you know how awkward it can get with both of us alone in the house?" I asked with disgust in my voice.

Then he groaned, digging his fingers into his hair.

"We're not ex's okay?" He corrected

"Then what are we?" I frowned

"Victoria, why are doing this to me na?" He said in frustration.

"I am not sleeping in your house." I insisted.

With another groan from him, I saw him move forward, till there was only little space between us. He was so close.

Too close.

"Are you scared?" His voice was deep and husky.

"Of what?" I managed to ask.

Trying  to control yourself when this kind of guy is so close to you is very hard.

"Me." He replied making me scoff.

"I'm not..."

"Then come in with me." He insisted

Why did that sound weird?

"No." I replied and he rolled his eyes.

Next, he sweeps me off my feet, and not like before that he carried me bridal style, this time around, he threw me over his shoulders, allowing blood to flow to my head.

"Let me down." I struggled.

"If you keep this up, I'll spank you." He replied and I bit my lip.

Makes me want to wonder where he'd spank me....

Shut up you corrupt mind.

He carried me like I weighed nothing, I heard him open the door to his house and walk in majestically....then he did the most stupid thing....

He dumped me on the chair.

"Ouch." I pouted

"You're welcome." He smiled and I glared.

"I'll call the police." I threatened

"And tell them what?" He asked heading to the kitchen.

"That you kidnapped me." I replied and he laughed.

"Go ahead." He came back from the kitchen and kept a cup of water on the table in front of me.

"Before you do that, drink up." He said

"How am I sure you didn't put something in the water...you know to make me fall asleep and then..."

"I would never rape you." He cut in.

"I didn't say rape. You could use me for money ritual, that's what guys do nowadays." I defended

"Why do you think I need money, are you forgetting where I come from...you know what, since you don't trust me.." He trailed off then picked the cup up and drank out of the water.

"What if it doesn't have an effect on you..."

"Victoria!" He shouted and I just had to chuckle.

"You think that's funny." He moved towards me and pinned me down on the chair....

I'm guessing you already know what he did next.

He fucking knew I was ticklish and he used against me.

"Stop it..Ayo stop...I will wee-wee(pee) on your couch if you don't oo." I warned and he finally stopped.

"If you do I'll make sure you and the couch sleeps outside." He smirked

"You wouldn't." I made a shocked face

"Try me." He gave me a challenging look.

I stared back with a sly smirk on my face.

Told you things would get awkward.

"Oya goan bath...and brush also." He broke the silence.

That sounded like an insult.

"Brush? What are you insinuating?" I glared and he laughed.

"That your mouth smells like the ass of a dog." He said truth.

I agree. I still wonder how he can cope with the oozing smell.

Rolling my eyes, I got up and left for the bathroom.

"I didn't mean to be rude." He shouted when he saw I was upset.

"Whatever." I mumbled.

..................

Ayo's POV....

It's been fifteen minutes since V. left for the bathroom, and I've decided to make myself comfortable on the couch and watch a football match.

That's one way to get me to stop thinking about her.

"Ayo." I heard her sweet voice say to me.

She calls my name best.

And damn is she too in my head.

"Ayo did you see my phone?"

I looked away from the television to give her one glance, then I turned back to face the television, only to snap my head back at her....

Holy shit.

What's she doing to me.

"V." I felt my voice go darker within the second.

Why is she fucking wearing my shirt?

Not like I'm complaining, Cos if you ask me, she looks so hot on my clothes...but why now?

When she knows we're not even dating anymore, when she knows I can't touch her, or even kiss her....

God why?!

"I'm looking for my phone." she pouted trying to scoot me over like I was seating on the phone.

The shirt she was wearing was big. Yes. But it also didn't cover much skin. It stopped mid thigh, revealing her fresh fair legs.

Pull yourself together Ayo.

"Where's my phone na?" She stomped her foot on the floor childishly, also making the shirt come up slightly revealing more...her black underwear.

Crap.

"Maybe you left it in the car." I muttered, my eyes still roaming her glowing skin.

"We'll get It tomorrow." I added, licking my bottom lip.

"Okay, I hope and Ayo my eyes are up here." She said and I could already imagine her rolling her beautiful almond shaped eyes at me.

Slowly, my eyes made its way up. It's final destination was supposed to be her face, but it made sure to take its time to get a good look at her.

From her long hot legs, to the shirt, I was already seeing past the shirt, already imagining how she looked without the shirt, my eyes continued it's trail till it got to the bulge of her breast, my eyes stayed in that position for a while longer, I stared at her breast and it stared back at me, giving me a very strong urge to reach for it and feel it in my palms.

I had to clutch my hand together to keep them from moving on their own accord.

Unwilling, my eyes left the sight, and kept trailing till it got to her exposed neck.

Has anyone read about hickeys, I'm gonna give her one right there.

My eyes trailed upper again and this time it got to its destination, her brown bright bulbs for eyes. I stared at them for a second only for my eyes to snap down to her lips.

Beautiful lips.

The full amazing lips, the upper rhyming with her complexion and the lower one really pink and tempting.

They were moving in a beautiful manner, I knew she was saying something and with the slight frown in her brows, I knew she was getting upset by the minute. But I still don't mind.

"Ayo!" I snapped back to reality when she shouted my name.

"Hmm?" I mumbled

"You didn't even hear what I was saying." She threw her arms in the air dramatically.

Without saying another word, I got up from the chair and pulled her close. My muscles flexed at the contact.

She was so small in my arms.

She became silent all of a sudden...it's good to know I have a way of affecting her. My hands curled round her waist, my thumb subconsciously making circles on her back.

Still not satisfied, my hands lowered itself to her curves, making her tense up.

"A-Ayo." She muttered my name but it sounded more like a moan to me. Which was getting me more....excited.

I buried my face in her neck and inhaled sharply.

Oh, the smell of my soap on her was so good.

"Yeah?" I replied her

"W-we...we need to talk." I felt her hands on my chest grip tighter.

"What's there to talk about? You have strong feelings for me even when you try to be hard, I know what you feel for me..." I placed a small kiss on her nape and she gasped.

You see?

"But do you know the best part...I feel the same way." I met with her eyes.

"Ayo." She said audibly this time, before pulling me back slightly, but I still didn't take my hand off her hips.

"But...But you cheated." She said and I shook my head

"Only because you cheated." I finally admitted to her.

"What?" Her eyes widened, making her look like a Snapchat character.

"I know you slept with my cousin." I shrugged.

She did, but I forgive her.

I don't know why I did so, but I did. One look at her and I forget about everything.

Pulling away from my grip, she settled down on the couch.

"Where did you hear that from?" She frowned.

What kind of question is that?

"V. I heard you guys that night....after I left, I came back to invite Ola to my family's house...but....I heard you guys...."

I tried not to get too upset about it.

"Ayo...." She called my name but I cut in.

"V. people makes mistakes okay?..."

"Ola and I didn't have sex!" She blurted out.

Pause.

What?!

"But he did something to you... I heard you moan his name..."

"Ayo that was a misunderstanding..."

"What happened that night?" I growled

It's not my fault, I can't help but get upset that my girlfriend was with another guy.

"Ayo look....we-I, um...."

"I'm listening."

She seemed to notice the  anger in my voice and that one alone stirred hers.

"I don't even know why I'm hiding this..." She began to raise her voice at me...

"Before you came, before you ever entered the story, it was Ola and I. Since I was five years old, his family and mine had been very close..."

Her voice was increasing by her every word.

"He waited for me, waited till I was ready, we both had had a huge crush on each other, but he still waited, knowing well that I wasn't ready for a relationship."

Why does her words hurt?

"The night of my matriculation, he told me how he felt and he kissed me."

Does she have to give every detail?

"Since that night we were in a relationship...but after that, I didn't see or hear from him for about a year..."

"Then you showed up...I was gonna tell you what was between Ola and I earlier, so we wouldn't end up...like this...."

Okay the good part is coming.

"But then I started liking you...so much that I forgot about Ola. What came to my mind was he had left me for another, so I decided to move on...I had so much great time with you...you were like the best boyfriend ever. Then Ola came back, I was willing to tell you everything but he knew you were my boyfriend. So he introduced himself as a friend. It pained him so much to see another guy holding me...but he kept his cool. When you left, he couldn't help it again, and .....you know the rest of the story."

Okay, I did not see that one coming.

So, she likes me more.

Oh thank God.

"But then you did a stupid move!"

I gulped when I heard her voice grow cold.

"You brought a slot for a friend over and you slept with her...why?...all because you were angry about a little misunderstanding."

Now I'm in a big pot of hot soup.

"V."

"Do not say anything....look I'm going to bed, today has been really stressful for me."

With that I saw her lay on the couch, with her back facing me.

Didn't she say bed? Why does she want to spend the night on a chair?

"V. The bed is in the room." I said to her

"I'm not sleeping on the same bed a bitch laid with you." She pouted.

"What if I told you it was on this couch." I tried not to laugh when I saw her jerk out of the couch.

"Ewww." She dusted her body and I couldn't help but chuckle.

"It's not funny." She crossed her arms.

"Okay I'll help out." Once again, I scooped her off her feet.

"This thing is getting really annoying." She frowned.

"The doctor asked me not to stress you." I admitted to her.

"Put me down." She kept pouting and I rolled my eyes.

"Where're you taking me?" She asked

"My room."

Why did that sound weird?

She didn't push any further. I laid her gently on the neatly arranged bed, then she shuffled around till she turned her back to face me.

God she can be vexed about small things.

I need to get her back honestly.

"Babe." I called but she didn't reply.

She's not asleep yet, I know that for a fact.

"V. I'm sorry."

"Lemme alone." She said lowly

"Please gimme another chance."

Now I sound desperate

But I am desperate

"Do you want me go back to the parlor?"

"No.."

"Then shut up."

Ouch.

Sighing in defeat, I lay down beside her.

"Nothing happened between Chisom and I. Yes. She forced a kiss on me but that was it...I just couldn't think about any other girl." I said hoping she'd believe me. "I just thought you should know."

It was the truth I spoke to her.

But she didn't reply, there was an absolute silence.

Maybe she fell asleep.

I probably should sleep too.

I closed my eyes and like a minute later...

I felt a warm arm wrap itself around me. My eyes snapped open only to meet with hers.

"Do you mean it?" She whispered, her fresh breath fanning my face

"Nothing happened. She only forced a kiss on me and spent the night." I admitted.

"I want to believe you....I forgive you.."

Thank you Lord.

"But on one condition...."

Hmmm.

"There should be more communication between us now." She said

That's easy

"I promise." I said and she cuddled me more.

Don't cuddle me, kiss me.

"Good night." She murmured still wrapped around me

I guess I'm not getting anything.

So just enjoy the position you are in.

I drew her closer and embraced her more.

"Night." I kissed her temple.
