MERCY'S POV

I turned in my bed again as the alarm kept on with it's work not even minding me which was literally begging it to stop.

I finally sat straight in my bed and stopped the alarm , I said my prayers and walked out of my bed making sure to arrange it .

I walked to the toilet with sleep filled eyes , I was still feeling sleepy and it was Monday morning. How I hate Monday , who even love that day?

I rubbed my eyes as I sat down on the toilet seat , slowly falling asleep on it suddenly and I repeat suddenly , ahhh this is even embarrassing to say.

Suddenly the door opened making my eyes open wide , sleep ran away , my eyes was even shining at the moment as I stared back at Hakeem who also seemed surprised.

Ask me what I did next , i screamed  , I screamed loud . And as if that was his wake up call he quickly ran out and closed the door ,

"Sorry! I did not know  ." I heard him say from outside making me shake my head in embarrassment.

What do I do after this ? How do I look up to see him , after this incident.

I stood up and dragged my pajama pants up .

I walked to the door and quickly locked it.

I hate Mondays!

..........

I picked out my free floral patterned Palazzo trousers and a white fitted top with it.

I sighed as I put it on , I wasn't even feeling good again about this day after what happened . It is well ,

Yesterday which was Sunday was pretty much normal. Hakeem went back to his emotionless and phone struck self and I spent all my time in my other apartment , yeah Deborah and fik's own oo.

When I got up later in the evening , he had already prepared rice , plantain and chicken stew . He even offered me to eat saying it was Sunday his work day as the rules said and I ate it.

You all know me na , I love food and his food is so delicious , I have to give him that he's a very good cook.  And let's say that's number two point ; he can cook wella.

So after I finished giving myself a prep talk about how I could face him , and since I was going to get late if I keep on sulking I walked out of my room.

I got to the kitchen to make a.quick breakfast and pack some snacks only to meet him there frying egg or something.

He turned back immediately he heard my footsteps, "good morning." He said with a sheepish grin making me roll my eyes as I walked to the cupboard ,

"What's good about the morning." I said back and brought out my cereals, cornflakes to be exact.

"I'm really sorry about ...... Earlier , uhm you know what I'm talking about and sorry." I heard him say from behind him as I poured lots of milk in the bowl of cornflakes.

I poured warm water into it and mixed it , "it's okay .. that incident is terrifying so don't remind me." I said back before stuffing the cornflakes in my mouth.

I sat on the counter and watched as he turned back to fry the egg , he wasn't dressed or anything just wearing a white t-shirt and mixed colour pajama trouser. He looked different from his bad boy style but he was still rocking the outfit.

"I have an idea , let's add to the rules. Rule number three ; you must always knock on the bathroom or toilet door." He said and turned back only to catch my eyes.

I've been caught staring oo , I faced my bowl back , "nice idea , you should add it." I added.

"Okay. I will write it later." He said then went on with dishing his egg on an already cooked noodles.

"Are you not going to class?" I asked him ,

"I am later in the morning, not now." He said back and carried his plate to the sitting room.

I quickly washed my bowl  and walked out of the kitchen , I wore my sandals and I was ready to go.

I didn't want to be late today , since today we'll be submitting that assignment.

"Hakeem , not a word about what happened to anyone. Bye." I said and walked to the door.

I heard him chuckle before adding , "it's Keem oooo and you break my heart , I won't tell. Bye."

Hearing him say that put a grin on my face as I climbed down the stairs , today had to be good.

.....

"You all should submit your project now.  President kindly collect it from everyone .It would be marked and returned to you in two week time." Mr aniete said ,

Teni stood up from beside me and held our own in his hand before collecting others.

When he was done he placed it on the table and walked back to his seat which was right beside me.

"Okay goodbye class ." Mr aniete said packing his load. Thank God ,  this was my last class and finally I'll be home.

My stomach has been aching me since morning and I couldn't wait to just wrap myself in my bed.

"Thank you sir. Have a nice day sir." We said back as he walked out not before muttering a thank you and you too.

I closed my notebook and placed it in my bag , I also took Teni's own since I wasn't through with the note and I hated my note incomplete.

"I'll return your book tomorrow." I managed to tell Teni who was looking at me with concern filled eyes.

I was on the brink of tears that's how bad the pain was.

"Marcy how's your stomach?" Esther said walking closer to me , I placed my head on my table and groaned.

"It's not getting better." I heard Teni tell her ,

"Maybe she should go to the hospital." Dayo added , hospital ko hospital ni.

Esther bent down to my level and Whispered in my ears ,

"Is it that time of the month?" ,

I nodded in reply ,

"You eat too much sugar that's why. SEBI I used to tell you." She said back and I couldn't help but agree .

She stood up straight and said some things to them. I couldn't even hear it , I swear this Monday is cursed.

"Mercy let's go. I'll drop her , thank God I brought my car today." He said

I raised my head , praising the lord that I won't have to trekk.

I stood up and waved at them as I walked out of the class with Teni behind me.

"Should I stay with you?" He asked as we entered his car.

I smiled weakly , "no don't worry. I'll just take some pills and sleep. " I said back as I pulled my seatbelt.

"Are you sure? You can't stay alone like this ."

"Don't worry , I'll stay with Deb or I'll just call her if anything happens."

"I'm really worried Mercy , the way you're doing is disturbing." He said back gently taking my hand. And that was a cute thing to say.

I managed a smile , "I'll be fine and thanks."

"For what?" He asked with a raised eyebrows

"For worrying of course. Let's go now I really want to lie down in my bed ." I said back with a groan as a pain shot through me.

"Okay .. sorry." He muttered and turned on the engine by shifting the key.

He drove out of the campus and after two minutes or so he parked in front of the gate.

I weakly removed my seatbelt and grabbed my bag.

"Thank you , I'll call y ou when I feel good."

He stopped me holding my hands , "should I stay with you?" He asked ,

"I'll be fine. Don't worry. Thanks again." I said with a smile and he let go of my hand.

"Stop with the thanks Jo and make sure to call me oo." I nodded at that and stepped out.

I opened the gate and walked in not before waving at him , I got to the apartment and quickly pulled the Palazzo from my stomach.

The ache reduced a little bit and I sighed as I grabbed a warm bottle water.

I removed two pills of paracetamol from the sachet and placed it in my mouth quickly drinking water to swallow it.

I walked to my room , closed the door and removed the Palazzo completely , I even removed the right top. The combination wanted to kill me sef.

I wore a free baggy top and a bumber shorts with it before climbing my bed lieing on a pillow and slowly I fell asleep.

.........

"What's wrong with her ... And now there's that rubbish rule... Whoa I think she's dieing." I heard someone say from the door and I grabbed again .

This time the person slowly entered the room ,

"What the fuck, Mercy what's wrong with you ?" He asked obviously looking surprised.

My situation wasn't that bad , abi ? I left the bed and found myself lieing on my stomach on the floor.

The bed was scattered for sure  , but It wasn't that bad right?

"God, what happened? What's wrong with you?" He asked rushing to my side.

Okay , it looked bad.

"My stomach hurts that's why." I said quietly.

He walked closer and knelt down beside me ,

"Is it the visitor?" He asked making me laugh.

He gave me a sheepish grin ,

"I do something for Halima when she's like this, shoiuld I do it for you?" He asked making me roll my eyes.

,"Do you need to ask?" I asked back ,.

"Sorry ma."

I felt a soft palm on my back and slowly he started rubbing my back.

"See why you should reduce your snacks , always eating sugar." He said making me chuckle, it's not my fault na. I'm in love with it.

Five minutes later and I was almost sleeping,

"Thank you Hakeem ." I said slowly drifting off.

"You welcome ."

Awwwwwn

They're all so cute.

Who's cuter ?

Hakeem or Teni ?

More drama ,

The calm before the storm.
