Mercy's POV

"Who's that at your back?" Mum asked making me turn back so fast that I was wondering how my neck bone didn't break .

It was Hakeem , what was he doing here? , I thought ... I thought he was lapping that girl. What will mummy think now ooo ,

"Mummy , this is Hakeem the friend of the person that is doing birthday." I told my mum at one go.

"Hakeem , you didn't mention him to me before." Mum said with a little frown as her eyes kept shifting back to the place I'm sure Hakeem was.

"Mum I did , remember, the boy that I said I met at the restaurant that is very quiet, that's him." I said to her. What? I tell my mummy everything , every single thing well that is tellable.

"Oh." She said nodding her head and then I heard a voice right behind me , a familiar one , you know the sexy one , okay let's get back to reality ,

"Good evening ma."he said , I turned back and almost hit my head with his. He was so close and when he realized he shifted back.

"How are you ?" My mum asked with her gentle smile. That gentle smile that can change to a very big frown if she misunderstood anything and why is it that the gentle ones are always wicked , like Hakeem now , he's gentle and am sure he will be wicked. Just saying oo .

" I'm fine ma."

"So how's the party?" Mum asked ,

"It has even ended , Trisha is already going home cause of the curfew so I came to call Mercy . " He said without even blinking an eyelash. Damn he's a good lier.

"Really? That's a good idea . What are you studying omó mi ?(my child)" mum asked, mummy oo , but it's true what is he studying ?

"Aeronautic engineer." He said with a smile.

"That's good , really good . So unilag offers that? " Mum asked again , someone tell me should I leave the room for the both of them , because knowing mum ,  lots of questions will be asked.

"Yes ma , but I'm still going to finish the course abroad."

"That sounds good. You guys should take care and when you get home call me." She said , she waved at Hakeem and then disconnected the call.

I stood up and turned back to face Hakeem ,

"What are you doing here? Could you not have given me five minutes to myself in this room instead of just barging in?"  I asked him with a frown and he mirrored my expressions , completely.

"This is my room , and I have freedom to enter my room at anytime." He said his frown deepening. This is his room , he's neat got to give him that. I was about to talk but he kept on talking ,

"..... And what are you even doing here without my permission?"

I looked around and noticed a framed photo of a girl , I couldn't see her face well from here since I wasn't wearing my glasses.

"Lim said I could use this room and why are you even here ?" I asked back placing both my hands on my waist.

"I got tired and needed to rest okay?" He grumbled as he walked to his bed.

"Wait." I said. Shooting out my hand ,

"Wait.. you have to drop me at home. You were the one who lied remember?" I said making him scowl.

"Fine , let's go. I need to get out of here sef ." He muttered and walked to his table to grab his key.

I followed him as he walked out , when we reached the room where the remaining gangs were , they were all drunk and busy playing truth or dare.

We both walked out of the house together , he entered the car while I helped him open the gate this time. He drove out and walked out  from  the car to close the gate.

We entered the car and he turned it on and started driving to my apartment. I turned to look at him , since he was focused on the road.

His ears had holes which showed that they were pierced and he wore earrings on the first day we met in that restaurant. Was he really dating that girl. If he was he wouldn't want to leave the house.

He would have stood up to hug her, held her by the waist when she sat on his laps but he didn't so I was sure they weren't dating. But it wouldn't hurt to ask ,

' it wouldn't hurt it will burn mumu , ask him na.'. My subconscious said making me hiss at her loudly in the inside oo ,

"What happen?" Hakeem asked ,

"What?" I asked back confused

"You hissed."  He said back , God help me . So I hissed and he heard but how could I have hissed inwardly. I'm not okay , but seriously can someone hiss inwardly?

"I was thinking about something." I said back making him nod. He didn't even bother to ask about it. Yeye boy.

When we were nearing the apartment, i decided to ask once and for all. I hate suspense and this one was Killing me.

"Eniola , why is she resuming so late?" I asked first , I have my style and I'm sure it will work . You all should learn.

"Personal problem." He simply said back.

"So she went to the same secondary school with you guys?" I asked again

"Yeah , she's part of us . " He simply answered again.

"You two seem close ." I asked again oo , hope he won't suspect something.

"Yeah we are  , a little well before sha." He answered back.

"So are you guys dating?" I asked again , and this time he turned to look at me like I had three heads.

"I just told you that we were only close before...  We aren't dating , God where did you get that idea from? " He asked already annoyed with my questions As he parked in front of my apartment.

I removed my seat belt and started carrying my shopping bags from the back seat , I picked two while Hakeem turned to help me pick the remaining two. Yeah , I bought lots of snacks.

"You guys looked intimate so I thought you were together. Thanks for the ride and for the date." I said making him chuckle ,he bent his head a little making his hair fall again.

"Don't mind that girl and for the date , you're welcome." He said with a sheepish grin making mine even wider than I thought it could ever be.

"You never told me you were studying aeronautic engineer, it's so cool. Am studying photography by the way." I said making him nod.

"Photography and art?"

"Yep and art."

"That's cooler than mine."

"No yours is , anyhow , I got to go . Thanks again."  I said as I opened the door.

"Goodnight Mercy."

"Goodnight Hakeem."  I said back but still heard him mutter "it's keem."

I walked to the gate and opened it with my key. I turned back but his car was already out of sight .

I walked into the apartment, took a bathe. Called mum again and she said she wanted to ask if I wanted the Canon camera that dad wanted to buy in the states and I couldn't help but shout yes.

After the call I wore a big top and my undies and walked to the sitting room. I placed the CD into the DVD and quickly ran to the kitchen to grab my cookies and chocolates.

Arranging everything in front of me I pressed play and I'm not a robot started playing.

I can watch this film a hundred times and not get tired of it , how could I when yoo seung ho's face was in it.

I looked at the door every once in a while expecting Trisha to walk in but she didn't.

**†**

"Mercy let's go!"  Trisha shouted again from the sitting room.

Today is out first day of lecture and I wasn't that late that she's shouting like this oo.

I grabbed my back-bag and walked out of the room.

I was wearing a red flare gown and white heel sandals . I arranged my books and timetable papers in my bag the day before so it was ready.

"Let's go , finally." Trisha said when she saw me. We were having first period the same time , a big coincidence.  My stomach grumbled and I sent a pleading look to Trisha.

"Please ." I said as I ran to the kitchen and packed the remaining bread and my water bottle which was filled with very chilled Fanta .

"Oya let's go." I said as I quickly walked out. I knew Trisha was angry cause she didn't mutter any single word to me .

She parked for me and I carried my bag ,"hey , sorry for delaying you. I left bread for you and I brought your jam , good luck." I said making her smile.

"Good luck to you too and thanks for the  jam." She said as I stepped out .

I waved goodbye at her and walked to the lecture room.

It was really full just like the other day. "Mercy." I heard someone call , I followed that voice and it landed on Esther. She was sitted at the front and I quickly found my way towards her.

"Good morning." I said and she patted the empty space beside her."good morning to you too." She said back with a smile.

"Thanks for keeping this space for me ." I said back.

She was about to reply when she got cut off by a loud voice , I guess the person was using a microphone.

"Good morning everyone, Mr aniete has said that he will be here in five minutes time so be prepared and if you are not in the class group chat please meet me after the class."  Group chat? I wasn't on it oo , I looked up to get a better view of the person,

Wait , why is that rude human being talking in front of the class.

Any idea On who the person is?

And

Hakeem doesn't seem that bad too right?
