MERCY'S POV
"Nini is having her surgery today." Teni said from beside me .
I looked at him , "really? Are you going there?" , I asked him as we both walked out of the class.
"I think so. One of the best surgeons there is carrying out the surgery ." He said .
I held his hand and rubbed my fingers across his hand , "it's going to be fine."I said and looked at him.
He was already looking down at me , he turned and hugged me ,
"Thanks, for staying." He said.
I rubbed his back ,
"You welcome ." When he pulled back he placed a peck on my forehead and gave me a grin before holding my hands again.
I smiled back at him , trying to forget the way that same lips was on another person.
I shrugged the memory off , and decided to move on.
"So what really happened in the class today with Atami?" He asked making me laugh.
I couldn't believe that Mr Aniete actually bought the lie. And that girl ehn , she just found her way to my heart.
I needed that type of character in my life, even though it's one. She actually made my day today .
"It's a while different story entirely." I said still chuckling.
"Babe  your expression was quite funny." He said back making me hit his arm ,
"Shut up." I said back .
He laughed and rubbed his arm , "sorry ma."
"Better."
........
Sitting in front of my mirror and staring at the sight of the amount of hair on my head , I almost cried.
I picked the cutting comb and my hair softening cream , since it was virgin hair it was quite needed. I rubbed the cream on my hair before combing it.
I used the cutting comb to divide it into various squares . When I was done I had divided it into twelve parts.
Well that should be enough , i really didn't like tiny braids , I liked my braids big and long. And one reason for that is because of the amount of time I'll use while making it.
"Hakeem!" I called out , he was probably in the sitting room since there was light.
He didn't answer , was he asleep or what?
I stood up from my chair which was in front of the mirror and walked out of my room into the sitting room.
He was sitting down on the couch typing away on his phone ,
"Hakeem oo." I said leaning on one of the couch and facing him ,
"What?" He muttered back ,
"Well I need your help with something." I said making him look up from his phone ,
"With what? I swear if it's to cook or iron or anything just leave me oo." He said making me laugh ,
"You're a lazy Human being , and it's not that ."
I said , he sat straight on the couch and dropped his phone. Suddenly he pointed at me and started laughing, what's wrong with this one?
"Why is your hair like that?" He asked in between laughs and pointing at me.
"You're crazy. " I said making him laugh more and even though his laugh always look cute , I felt like slapping him this time. Yeye boy.
When he noticed my glare he stood up from the couch and raised his hands up in fake surrender before standing up.
"Oya , what should I do?" He asked ,
"Now you're talking. Come." I said and turned to my room but stopped when he said ,
"Mercy , why are we going to your room, call your boyfriend for that ooo."
This time I didn't just glare , I ran towards him making him scream , he turned to the opposite direction and started running away from me.
I ran and stretched my hand , I caught his shorts making him fall down , I quickly knelt over him and picked a side pillow from the couch before using it to hit his head.
He used his hands to block his face , his body vibrating from his laughter .
"You're not serious... How could you say that?" I said but got his laugh as a reply .
The whole situation was funny and before I knew it , I started laughing too.
Yeah, I'm still seated on his ribs, and anyone looking at us right now will surely picture the perfect couple.
He removed his hands from his face when he noticed I wasn't hitting him again.
"Okay , so why do you need me in your room?" He asked with that his annoying smirk.
"Well I wanted you to help me pass the attachment while I make the hair and I like talking while plaiting my hair, so ..." I said and looked down at him.
He didn't reply , he was just staring at me , and well I was staring at him too , suddenly everywhere became quiet and it just turned to the usual korea-like scene which I hated and understood now. It was just too hard to look away.
Suddenly his face turned to that in pain making me worried, "what's wrong?" I asked
"Well you're sitting on me and you have weight." He said making me laugh as I stood up from his abdomen, he playfully glared at
me as I laughed this time.
"So are you coming?" I asked while walking to my room,
"Well do I have a choice?" He asked back as he grabbed his phone and walked behind me and into my room.
After entering, I sat on the same chair in front of the mirror, the attachment which I had already arranged was also on the bed.
He looked around the room before sitting on my bed, my room wasn't quite different from his , in size and structure.
But mine had different pictures on the wall , a shoe rack, a mirror table bedroom dresser and well the whole interior design was different.
And don't mind him , acting like this was his first time in my room , he's been in my room before .
I rolled my eyes at him and picked a comb from the table.
"So I just pass this to you?" He asked ,
"Yeah."
"Why can't you just go to hair dresser or something?" He asked again,
"I like plaiting my hair myself ." I said back as I rubbed another moisturizer before combing it again , I picked a small black rubber band and used it to band a box before stretching my hands out to Hakeem.
He placed the attachment on my hands and I started braiding.
The attachment was long so I kept on braiding,
"Where did you learn how to plait hair." He asked looking at me through the mirror,
"At school, I learnt hair dressing skill during one of our summer coaching."
"That's nice."
"I know." I said , I dropped the braid and picked another one, I did the same thing again with it.
"And that reminds me you haven't said anything about your school." He was lying down now .
"Well my school , there isn't much to say." I said brushing the topic off. He's own school was fun to talk about than mine. That's for sure.
"Come on. Just talk." He said again. I stretched my hands out and he dropped another one in it.
"Well my school, it's more like a school where rich students gain connection. We go to various places for excursion and learn things. Like the hair dressing for instance. But one thing there is friends there are mainly for connections. " I said while braiding my hair.
"So let's talk about yours, you haven't finished that your commandant's story." I added.
He chuckled at that. "what else should I talk about." He said scratching his chin, probably his imaginary beards.
"Okay so there was this time , he asked the whole SS2 class to come to the assembly ground because of those that repeated, we went downstairs and instead of them to keep shut, they stated talking. The man got angry ehn......"
By the time he was done I was holding my stomach, it was just too funny. Their school life was actually fun. Really fun unlike mine .
"You know you guys really have lots of memories there. " I said making him chuckle ,
"I know right , anytime I remember I just laugh." He said back.
"Which sport did you do?" I asked ,
"Sport? , I played volley ball and basket ball." He said , I play basket ball too. I was even the captain of the females team .
"I played basketball too, I was the captain."
"I was the captain too and I even won a gold cup for Ikeja during inter command." He said making me chuckle. Look at how he's making mouth.
"I won a gold too , medals, not just one. And I'll surely beat you in a game." I said ,
I will beat him black and blue. Not making mouth oo.
"A game in your dreams." He said back, I threw a cream bottle cover at him and he just caught it laughing.
"Wait, I forgot to ask, how's Teni's sister?" He asked when he was done laughing.
It's been two days since she did the surgery and she hasn't woken up yet. She's in a temporary coma , or what did they call it.
The surgery was successful and the hole had been covered. And I was so greatful to the lord for that. When Teni's mum called him to tell him he was literally dancing in happiness.
He hugged me and raised me up twirling the both of us around. Seeing him that happy felt so good.
And we were actually making progress in our relationship. Or so I think.
"She's good, the surgery went well and all that's remaining is for her to wake up."
"And you didn't even tell me , that's great."
"I know right. "
I was almost done with my hair, just remaining two , well that was fast.
"Where are you going for Christmas?" I asked him,
"Nowhere , we celebrate it at home. Just family and new year's eve our whole family comes together. It's a really nice time. What about you?"
"We're all going to the states , my sister dropped a lie that she has trauma cause the last time she entered plane which was to the states , the airplane had a turbulent we always spend Christmas together so since she can't come , we go.
So we're all going and my sister will also meet us at our cousin's house or more like mansion, the rest of the family will be there too. We always play with the snow and I can't even wait ." I said slowly drifting to la la land.
"Mama wake up." Hakeem said making both of us laugh.
After five minutes of braiding in silence I was done,
"I'm done ." I said, Hakeem looked up from his phone and watched as I applied gel to the front making it fall.
The braid looked beautiful , not flattering myself to be serious.
"Wow, this is good. You'll help me plait my hair too."
"You'll pay money oo." I said back with a chuckle.
I stood up and stretched ,
"Thank you." I said ,
"You welcome."
Nice chapter , I think.
