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.

"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?"&
