I know , another late update.
*Sighs.*
I can't believe we're already close to thirty chapters.
Read on..
MERCY'S POV
I shifted in my bed again , my phone in my hand as I kept on scrolling down the screen looking at the various pictures of the why don't we band .
Just watching their pictures was helping my condition. Suddenly my phone started vibrating , I looked at the caller and it was Idara. Why would she be calling at two in the midnight.
I picked the voice call and put the phone on speaker ,
"Hello." I said immediately ,
"Hey why are you not sleeping." She asked with her accent laced voice making me sigh,
"I can't sleep."Â I said still looking at different pictures.
"Why? What's wrong?" She asked.
"Well everything is complicated , it's a long story."
"Wow so you're keeping a long story from me?" She said with a scoff making me laugh.
"Okay , it's not even long , everything started on Friday." I said and even remembering the incident was spoiling my mood.
"Okay go on." She said back and I heard shuffling maybe she was lying on her bed.
"Can we do video call? I want to see your face while I talk." I said back , And heard her chuckle in response.
I made my phone lean on the pillow and her face also came to view, she was grinning.
"Okay you're seeing my face , go on."
"Well I caught Teni kissing a girl , it was at a party. And I ignored him for two days . Monday came and while we were talking , with me having plans to end things, his mum called.
She called to say his sister was very sick. And she has a hole in her lungs which was caused by an accident which happened a long time ago."
I was cut off by my sister , with her medical knowledge, she began explaining the situation with big grammers.
"That's emphysema , it's a type of COPD . I don't think it's that since you said it was an accident then I guess it's punctured lungs. She'll need surgery...."
I cut her off with a glare ,
"I was about to tell you that she will soon do the surgery , please let me talk finish."
She raised her two hands up
"Sorry ma."
I chuckled , "okay and we talked, she said she was happy that I was with her brother and you know I was planning to end it so I couldn't and now Hakeem thinks that it's a wrong idea."
"Okay that's complicated, and poor Hakeem , he likes you but you don't see it."
"Stop with that he likes me stuff , he doesn't."
"He does can't you see , that's why he got angry when you told him you were with Teni now , and I'm sure he thought maybe he had a chance now that Teni kissed someone. And he's an asshole for doing that."
"A big one but now I don't know Idara, but what I know is once Nini is through with her surgery and she's fine I'll figure it out."
"How?"
"I don't know ,I'll leave Teni . And live my single life back , it's better than this complicated dating life."
"That's what I think all the time ." She said referring to why she has been single for the past three years after breaking up with Femi.
"You know I saw Femi's dad last two weeks when we went to one event like this."
"I hate the man." She said bitterly , he was the cause of everything , the breakup between her and her ex. Wicked Human being.
"Me too. "
"Mum said you're going to one event again this weekend. Sorry oo."
"Abeg don't tell me sorry , I need the break and the food."
"God will help you , I don't know how you are not fat."
"I'm blessed Jo. Goodnight. I need to sleep."
"Goodnight sweetie , love you."
"Yep , love you too."
..........
I looked at my outfit , it was so much simple to what I use to wear , a simple flare blue gown with sandals. I packed my hair , I know I forgot to braid it.
I sighed as I grabbed my bag from the bed and walked out of the room.
The sitting room was clear but noise was heard from the kitchen so I walked there.
Hakeem was standing in front of the counter mixing something probably tea that was inside a mug.
"Good morning." I said as I walked to the cupboard and brought out my cereals.
He turned back and watched my every move ,
"Are you angry?" He asked ,
Was I angry ? No I wasn't. I don't even know , he's probably tired of seeing me sulk over a guy even though it was just once. Or maybe he really didn't expect me to forgive him like Idara said.
"No I'm not , you said what you felt there's no crime in that." I said back as I mixed my cereals, milk and warm water together.
I looked at him and his gaze was already on me, he was dressed in his usual pajama pants and a white t-shirt. Sometimes I just forget how hot he is , well since I see him everyday. But sometimes like this I'm just like wow. Because what can I say than that. He didn't remove his earrings from his pierced ear and I was urged to ask why he even pierced it in the first place.
Normally , anyone seeing him for the first time will have bad thoughts about him , trust me Nigeria people will surely have.
Okay so how did I get into earrings and Nigeria people's thoughts.
I looked up from my plate and he was still staring, was there something on my face ?
Or was my powder smudged ?
"Is there something on my face?" I asked touching my face.
"No , nothing. " He said and cleared his throat.
I nodded and faced my plate back.
"I........ I " he said making me look up from my plate , I raised an eyebrow ,
"What?" I asked back , he muttered a "fuck this." And decided to continue. Is this the time where he profess his undying love like Idara said.
' I'm sure it is , darling." My subconscious said making me chuckle , ' let's bet it , it's not.' I said back with a smirk.
"I am not staying here for the weekend." He said catching my attention ,
"Are you going home?" I asked standing up with my plate , I walked to the sink and dropped my plate in it.
I picked the morning fresh bottle and poured little on the plate .
"Yeah I'm going home. On Saturday dad's celebrating his company's seventeenth anniversary. " He said ,
"Wow , that's great. I'm not staying home too for the weekend. I'm going to an event with my parents."
"Sorry , I hate those events stuff , always boring."
"You just said the exact same thing my sister said." I said back ,
"Really , I need to meet this sister." He said back making me chuckle.
"Well I'll let you see her the next time we do video call. And i like the events like that , I need a break from all this and I'll also get food there as a bonus. "
"Yeye. I knew there was something that will just let you go. Such a big foodie. Your matter sef has tire me." He said making me laugh.
I grabbed my bag from the counter.
"I did not send you message to carry my matter on top your head. Bye , I can't afford to be late."
I said and waved as I walked out of the kitchen , "Mercy wait." I heard when I opened the door.
This boy wants to make me late. I sighed as I turned back , "what again oo?" I asked .
He rushed to the entrance ,
"just wanted to say sorry , I know I shouldn't have said that." He said making me smile , how many times is he going to say sorry in just how many months that we know each other.
"How many times will you say sorry." I said making him sigh ,
"I don't know oo , you're the only person I've said sorry too like this." He said with a smile , and at that moment, okay as cliche as this will sound my heart fluttered.
I chuckled ,
"I have that effect on people jare. And when next you want to apologize bring a peace offering. Example, ice cream , you know na." I said with a wink making him laugh.
He and his cute laugh , okay is laugh cute? Anyway , he and his cute laugh.
"I'll remember that. Bye." He said
"Bye." I said back with a grin and walked out of the apartment.
When I got downstairs, I looked at Deb's apartment and realized it's been long since we last talked.
I made a mental note to visit them once I come back.
.......
Seeing the view of the building I muttered a thank you God.
I entered the class and just like the day before I sat down with Atami but not before giving Teni a smile.
His whole troubled face relaxed when I have him the smile.
"Good morning." I Chirped at Atami as I sat down beside her.
"Good morning." She said back with a smile.
Not even a minute after , Mr aniete entered the class . We all muttered a good morning and he muttered his back as he kept his bag on the table and started with today's work.
After thirty minutes or so into the class ,
I heard a beep beside me making me remove my attention from the man at the front.
I looked at my side , Atami was pressing her phone , "you shouldn't do that." I said surprised.
She looked at me and grin , "you also shouldn't eat in the class." She said back.
Okay she made a point but it was two different things.
"They're different." I muttered back ,
"But they are both distractions." She said with a chuckle.
I looked at her and shook my head before turning back to the front only to see Mr Aniete's gaze on us.
I pinched her to stop chuckling , she also looked at the front surprised.
"Would the two of you like to tell us why you were laughing while I was teaching." He said with a glare and I was regretting my decision of not sitting with Teni.
"Sir , I was just telling her you have a good sense of humour and how you are one of the best lecturers here when she asked ."She said ,
Chai , this girl can lie oo.
"Why were you talking in the first place."he asked again making me quickly turn to Atami.
"While you were explaining the parts of a camera , and their functions , I thought aloud that you were really good at explaining and then she agreed with me and we just started saying the various things you are good at sir."she said with a smile.
God , this girl have implicate me ooo , I turned to the front with a frown only to meet Mr aniete smiling.
"Next time I would take actions. If you want to talk , talk after the class." He said and my frown quickly dissolved.
This girl is crazy.
Long chapter has promised,
And who loves Atami?
She can lie oo.
*Laughs.*
And I'm also thinking about giving her a big part.
Hmm let's see how it goes.
