"Ohh, okay, I'll be waiting, I love you."
"I love you babe " my brother mumbled ... If only I can tell her there was another girl here yesterday whom he told he loved.
She smiled at him and gave me a small smile before going upstairs.
My brother's eyes were fixed on Derrick who stood uneasy.
"Benita, come here " my brother ordered. I did as he said because I had no strength for trouble.
He held my arm and moved towards the dinning then roughly shoved me to a corner where Derrick couldn't see us.
"Ouch"
"Sorry" he grumbled.
"can you stop acting this way. I'm not a baby "I begged.
He had to stop, guys his age were dying for me but here he was being an annoying elder brother.
"Cora, you know I can beat 100 guys for you, I'll rather fight for you anytime than to fight for my girlfriends" he
"Um, I need prayers.""Are you not supposed to see the pastor instead? " he asked thoughtfully."Yes,... Yeah, can I call you later, there's a trailer blocking my car""But the phone's on speaker Beni..."I cut it before he could say more. I didn't want to feel guilty for going to a guy's house but a little fun wouldn't hurt, would it?Timi's gateman recognised me from the other day and he let me drive into the compound.I got down from the car, pulling my hand bag behind me.Walking in, I felt goosebumps all over as I remembered how Timi pulled me onto his laps."My secondary school student " he teased. He was sitting on the couch, a drink in his hand."hey" I replied shyly.Stop being shy!This is Timi, the mannerless goat!
"Yeah, he is."She smiled at my response then asked"How did you meet my Timi?"Yen! yen! yen! my Timi!I met your yen yen yen Timi on facebook, would you mind me telling you how we just kissed some days ago, would you like to hear how I grinded on him, I'll tell you now."Ohh, I can't really remember, we've been friends for long " I answered instead."How long have you known him? "I asked surprising myself."I've known my Timi for a very long time, more than two years" she revealed smiling."I love him so much and I really don't know why he hasn't popped the question yet.. And I know quite well I'm the only one in his life " she added.Sorry, what was that?He has Esther and Eunice too.I didn't know what to say to her. I was so sure she had no idea that I was just 18 and
"Nothing, just enter."When we were all seated, we were silent, what did we have to say? Aisha was giving me this look to warn me to keep cool, I was trying hard, my fists were clenched, my nails were tearing my skin but I didn't care."Hey Aisha." Olivia said."Hmm." Aisha nodded as she started the car to drive, we drove in silence and within minutes we arrived there, we successfully parked the car and we got into the place with our tickets.Other artistes were performing on stage when we got in. It was past 11 already, almost midnight.I got down from the car grabbed my bag and angrily marched away.Why did they have to bring her here?The girls caught up with me."Girl, cool down." Debra yelled over the loud music."Why did you bring her here?" I yelled back.
I looked in the direction of where my name was called.It was a friend of my brother.Daniel's friend, Kento.Uh oh!"I didn't know you were the one fighting.. I mean I heard two girls were fighting, I didn't expect it to be you, I didn't even know you'd be here." he said.I rolled my eyes, he'll definitely tell my brother he saw me here."My guy let me speak with you " he said to the bouncer. The bouncer shook his head, he refused to be talked out of letting Olivia and I stay."There's nothing to tell me, they are not staying "he spat harshly."Guy, no dey speak English, if you don't know, this is Benita not just an ordinary Benita but Benita Modupe." Kento explained.The bouncer didn't listen as he still pulled me by the arm.Kento quickly excused himself, he typed something on
So we were back to school.Olivia was able to convince her mom she wasn't interested in staying in the same room with us and as expected, Jenny left with her.We had new roomies, two church girls!Anu and Rona.It wasn't bad that we had these type of girls as roomies but it felt uncomfortable in a way.The second week in school, I decided to make a twerk video, so I placed my phone on the mirror stand and played Cardi B's Money.Just while I started dancing and my friends were cheering, Rona played the popular gospel 'Ekueme' and both Anu and Rona sang the song along.I didn't mind at first but some minutes later, I started feeling guilty and my friends felt the same awkward feeling I had as they stopped cheering me and stole glances at these new girls.I stopped my dance, saved the short video and went to sit in my bed watching these girls read their hand
Hold on a sec.Michael was happy to see her as he opened his arms to receive her, he didn't look a bit surprised to see me, Emeka obviously told him I was here.Why was life being so cruel?Why does the dramas all revolve around me?"meet my friend Benita, Benita this is Michael " Nk introduced. What was the point?" Hello Cora... Benita " Michael smiled at me." Hey " I managed to say for Nk's sake.Why does he have to act cool about this? It isn't fair! Besides, when did he name himself Michael!!!He left to get us water and Nk asked me how cute I thought he was.I couldn't think straight, this shit isn't funny.Ifeoma, Eunice, Esther and my supposed new friend Nk.I shook my head in disgust, it shouldn't be my business whatsoever, I had Derrick to think of not Timi.
"Do you think we look good together, do you think we'll last ? " she asked. A message popped in to my phone, I quickly picked it with one hand to check it, it was from Timi.you looked beautiful as always pumpkin.I smirked devilishly at her "you both look perfect together, he doesn't look like an heart breaker at all.... He doesn't"Later on.Going to Rona and Anu's church was quite cool. Not like we had not gone there before, we had but it's either we go late or leave the church service earlier than expected.Rona especially, prevented us from putting on short gowns or dresses that didn't cover up properly. We didn't have any that she liked so she ended up giving us some of her gowns that she felt were proper enough.I didn't like the whole idea, I had never worn something belonging to an outsider apart from my friend's.Aisha temper
I was so bored!I had to leave work to come chill with Emeka.I was practically the owner of my company so I could do anything I choose to do like putting work aside for a little while.I had different guys I could hang out with, I wasn't particularly close to Emeka because he was a boring person, he preferred going to work then coming back home then work, home, work, work, home.The first time I came to chill at his place, it was surprising to both the guy and myself because he was the last person I would want to stay with.When Benita told she me she gained admission to the university, my initial plan to get under her skirt seemed impossible and being the type I was, I chose to get exactly what I wanted.I thought of all the friends I had that lived around the school's vicinity but I had none staying there not until I remembered I had a boring business partner who lives a
