"Funmi be fast abeg,why didn't you pack your stuff earlier?"I said as I sat on the couch waiting for Funmi.

Aunty Tomi had come to pick us from school and we went over to our house to take our bags.She came with her little baby boy,Jeremiah.

I watched as she asked Wunmi some questions about her family.I have no idea why I never knew them though but then again I have a lot of cousins I don't know about.Wunmi still played the goody two shoes act with her,she thinks she's fooling everyone.I just don't understand why she's acting like that,I feel like she's hiding something because a normal person wouldn't act like that after going through so much.

"Darasimi."Aunt Tomi called my name, pulling me out of my thoughts.

"Yes ma?"I answered.

"Come and help me to put your belongings inside the car,you too Wunmi."She said and I nodded my head getting up from the couch.Funmi came down the stairs with her bag.

"I'm ready."She said and she followed us outside to the car.

Mum and dad had left for an hotel that's close to the airport.They would leave to Dubai tomorrow.

Aunt Tomi locked the door of the house and we got in the car.She started the engine of the car as she got in and we were on our way to her house.

I plugged my earpiece into my phone and scrolled down to my Doja Cat playlist.

What?I Stan her.

I look through the car's window as I hum the tunes,in thirty minutes Aunt Tomi honked on the steering wheel when we arrived in front of a black gate.The house was beside some huge mansion with silver gates, someone rich is probably living there

In less than a minute a funny looking gateman who I already assumed was a hausa man opened the gate.

"Welcome Aunty."He said in a funny tone.I knew he was hausa,I rolled my eyes at the thought.

We got our bags outs of the car and into the house.On getting in there was a fat pot bellied man sitting on the couch with a bottle of liquor in his hands.He looked like he had drank himself to stupor and I doubt he heard any of us walk in.

Aunt Tomi shook her head looking pissed, irritated and embarrassed all in one.

"What kind of husband is this for crying out loud."She muttered to herself but it was loud enough for me to hear it.

"Good afternoon sir."I greeted.

"Afternoon fruit?Yes I'd love some."He answered drinking more of his liquor and in a swift motion the bottle slipped from his hand and it shattered into pieces.

This dude's a mess.

"You girls should go upstairs,the room's at the corner of the staircase."Aunt Tomi said not wanting us to be more irritated about the character of her husband.

I nodded as we went to the room which she directed us to.As we got inside,Funmi looked at me and we both burst into laughter.

"Damn what have we gotten ourselves into."I laughed.

"Do you have some Afternoon fruit?"Funmi laughed making fun of Aunt Tomi's husband funny question.

"You girls are unbelievable."Wunmi scoffed pushing us aside as she sat on one of the beds.

I was about to go over to her in annoyance when Funmi pulled me back and signalled for me not to.It was not worth it answering her snarky remarks anyway.She just wants attention and if we don't give it to her she'll cut off the attitude.

"Girls."Aunt Tomi called out.

"Ma?"We yelled simultaneously as we all went downstairs.

"I hope you girls have freshened up."She asked with a smile."Come and help me with dinner."She said.

We helped her to serve food on plates and placed them on the dinning table.

"Dara toss this out for me please."She said handing me a bag of trash and I nodded my head as I went outside the gate to throw it away.The estate's general trash is outside the gate and it was pretty much so I figured I'd toss it there.On spotting the garbage can I toss the trash away and just as I'm about to go inside someone calls my name.

"Dara."I halted at my feet.

Why does that voice sound so familiar?
Taking a deep breath I turned around to meet Ola staring at me in awe.
Why are we always meeting in this position?

"Ola,what are you doing here?"I ask as I try to hide the fact that I'm happy seeing him.

"What am I doing here?, I'm supposed to be asking you that question.I live here."He says gesturing to the mansion I saw earlier.

He lives here?

Ola freaking Martins is my neighbor.

"Wait is this your Aunt's house you were talking about moving into."He raised an eyebrow and I nodded my head still stunned by the fact that he's my freaking ass neighbor.

"Looks like we're going to be seeing each other a lot Dara."He says with a smirk on his face and he chuckled,I rolled my eyes at his cockiness.

"Where're you heading anyways."I asked.

"I went to get some stuff."He said gesturing to the nylon bag he was holding in his hands.He made an expression as if he remembered something then he put his hand in the nylon bag and brought out one gala.

"I know you like this."He said with a laugh probably remembering our first encounter with it. "Have it."He said holding it out for me.

I didn't want to act like some freak who doesn't appreciate things so I took it from him.

Okay let me rephrase that,he totally remembered that I like gala and he's willingly giving it to me, that's so cute and I should probably kiss it cause he's touched it.

"Thanks."I said, I'm lucky I'm dark skinned or else he'll have seen my blush cause I know I was blushing.

"I have to get back inside,I came to toss trash out."I said and he nodded his head as he turned around and proceeded to his house.

He stopped at his gate and look at me with a smirk before saying.

"Save my name as Sexy ass nigga on your phone,will you?"He said with a chuckle as he entered his house.

So yh he was still on the line when I said that.Laughing at my stupidity,I went back into the house.
