Dedicated to Teefabulous. You're allowed to flog me... lol.

In a tight grasp, Daniel held my hand. Our heads averted to the left side of the road where the oncoming vehicles sped past. We turned our heads to the right side of the road. Vehicles still sped past hence, we stood still.

We waited a few more minutes before the road was clear of any vehicle then we ran across the road.

"We should totally get back at Anna and Wale." I started as we approached a huge gate just after crossing the road.

He released my hand from his grasp. "You're right. Especially Wale."

"In a way they helped us, you know? If not for them setting us up we wouldn't have reconciled."

"That's very true. But they still need to suffer for it." He took out his phone from his pocket after hearing a buzz from it. "I have an idea." He told me, eyes concentrated on his phone despite being on the road.

I was following Daniel's steps since I didn't know the route to his house. Uncle Henry had to travel to his home town due to personal reasons. His mother was also unavailable. She had some important business to attend to. Daniel was left with no other option but to go home himself. And it was his first time going home alone since he joined International Scholars High.

He pleaded with me to accompany him to his house. At first, I was reluctant but there was no harm in it. I would make it home before it was four PM.

We were approaching a very huge gate. The environ of the gate was serene and beautiful. Flowers were embellished round both sides of the gate. One side was probably for vehicles coming into the estate and the other for vehicles going out. Above the gate was a sign of the name of the estate; Crystal Estate.

"Good afternoon sir." Daniel greeted the security personnel seated on a white plastic chair. I also genuflected as a sign of respect.

"Small soldier!" The man replied Daniel. "How are you?"

"I'm fine sir." Daniel responded, a smile on his face. Awkwardly, I stood behind Daniel and the security man whilst they conversed.

While Daniel and the security man discussed, my eyes skimmed through the estate's gate. Through the gates, I was able to see the road. It ran so smooth without any potholes unlike the roads in my vicinity. There were also flowers around too.

"Who is that girl?" I heard the security man ask. I turned my head down to look at the pink sandals I had worn on my feet pretending not to listen to their conversation.

"She's just my classmate. She came over to work on an assignment." .

"Okay o." The reply of the security man came off like he didn't believe Daniel's lie. Daniel called me over, I greeted the man once more and we both entered into the estate.

I was marvelled at the beauty of the estate. Surulere and Lekki were very different places and it was very obvious. I would even say the air here was different. And it was partly true, they didn't have smoke fumes from printing houses, rickety cars which coughed out smoke and many other forms of air pollution to contend with. The beautiful mansions which I had only seen in movies prior to now stood magnificent in all their glory.

Daniel and I walked on the pavement making our way to his house which he said was just minutes away.

"This estate is beautiful."

"Thanks." Was his response to my  compliment. Then he spoke further, "Zara lives in this same estate too."

"Really?" He nodded as confirmation.

"Danny!" A high pitched screeching voice came from a girl who was approaching us. Daniel turned his head from the girl approaching us to stare at me. He had a worried expression on his face leaving me confused.

The girl engulfed him in a hug trying to pull him closer than he already was to herself. Reluctantly, she let's go of him but kept a firm hold on his right hand.

"Irene." He uttered under his breath. It sounded like he wasn't pleased to see her, and I wasn't also pleased to see a girl holding my boyfriend in such a manner.
"How are you doing?"

"I'm good. How are you doing too? I have a lot to tell you. My mom is not at home. Let's go to your house." Her words came out in one breath.

Daniel's hand left Irene's to scratch the back of his neck.
"That would be later. I have an assignment to do with my classmate... you'll distract us."

Scrutinizing his every move with my eyes, I crossed my arms watching carefully as Daniel's eyes travelled from Irene's face to the large mounds of breasts on her chest. His sight lingered on the white blouse she was wearing taking in the green bra holding her breasts in place which wasn't concealed properly.

Irene's hand moved to Daniel's chest and he didn't move it. "Oh..."

Her small eyes travelled to me, eyeing me with disdain. This made me nervous under her watch. "I won't disturb or distract you." Irene's eyes went back to Daniel.

Breaking out from the daze of Irene's bosom, Daniel replied her with a straightforward answer. "No."

The answer given by Daniel sent a triumphant smirk to my lips but I was quick to hide the smirk with a straight face. I was still furious with Daniel but his answer had diminished the anger to a great extent.

"Why? I won't distract you and this..." Her eyes glared at me like I was inferior to her. "girl." She spat the word out. I could tell she was arrogant.

"Irene you'll distract us." Daniel insisted. He took a step backwards letting Irene's hand on his chest fall to her side.

"I won't. It's a promise." She pouted her thin lips and batted her eyelashes trying to be cute.

Daniel's phone which had been in his hand since we walked into the estate  went back into his pocket."You'll distract us." He sounded irritated at her persistence.

"Daniel please!" She entwined both her hands in a pleading form while batting her eyelashes and still pouting.

"I'll call you when she leaves." Daniel used his index finger to point at me.

Glaring at me, she spoke up, finally succumbing to what Daniel had insisted on. "I'll be expecting your call." With this, she walked past Daniel's towering figure leaving us.

Her back was slightly bent due to her enormous mounds of breasts. It was due to the breasts, you'll know she was of teenage age, she still looked like a child. They were too heavy for her diminutive figure. I watched as she sashayed, trying to shake her almost nonexistent buttocks. The pencil skirt she was wearing didn't even fit her, it was loose.

"Irene? From your vicinity?" My brow was raised up inquisitively and my arms crossed against my chest while waiting for an explanation.

"Tobi, she's just a friend and nothing more. Though I think she likes me." He explained then added, quickly. "But I don't like her!"

I narrowed my eyes at him. "I don't trust you."

"Tobi, I'm telling you the truth. I swear."

I took a long look at him before nodding. "If you say so." After this we carried on walking.

Daniel's house was a three storey mansion painted white. The white range rover uncle Henry picked us up with alongside three other luxurious cars were parked in the spacious compound of the house

"Your house is beautiful." I told him while my eyes skimmed the building.

"Again, thanks."  We walked to the porch. Daniel dug his hands into his bag to take out the key. He unlocked the door then we both entered into the house.

Entering into the house, we were engulfed by darkness. Darkness vanished at the sound of a light switch. The house looked more beautiful than the outside. The interior decoration scheme of the house showed the Ugwus had a thing for the color white.

The walls of the spacious living room were white, same as the chairs. The centre table made of glass placed at the center of the room had a few things on it. The flat screen television hung on the wall displayed black as it wasn't turned on.

"Have your seat. I'll be right back." Daniel disappeared into house taking the only stairs visible in the living room.

I nodded, walking to one of the chairs. I ran my hand on the silky fabric of the black curtain hiding the rays of light coming from the window. I felt comfort when butt made contact with the leather cushion of the white sofa.

Taking off my bag, I began to notice the air conditioners. Three of them stood gallant in different corners. My eyes went to the celling astonished by the chandelier hung high above.

A portrait of Mrs Ugwu who I had only seen once was hung on the wall, in front of where I was seated. She was smiling showing off her perfect white dentition. The dimples on her cheek reminded me very much of Daniel's. Unlike Daniel, Mrs Ugwu was light skinned.

A picture of my boyfriend. My very own boyfriend. It felt good to call Daniel my boyfriend again.  He was smiling showing off his pearl-like teeth and dimples, a feature inherited from his mother.

The last portrait on that side of the wall was that of a soldier. The dark skinned soldier had a green beret on his head and sunshades on. All the portraits were pictures of their head to their shoulders.

"What would you like to drink?" My head turned to the direction Daniel's voice was coming from. From the corner of my eyes, I was able to see the big portrait on the side of the wall which I failed to notice when I came in earlier. It was a picture of their family.

"Water. I'm thirsty." I answered, swallowing my spit, reminding me how dry my mouth was.

"Alright." He walked past the stairs. Soon, he was back with a bottle of sweating cold water.

"Here." He gave the bottled water to me and I mouthed a thanks. Immediately, I opened the bottled water and drank little from it then placed it on the floor next to me feet.

Daniel took my school bag, put it on the tiled floor then sat next to me, putting an arm round my waist. I moved my hand which was on the arm rest and sat comfortably, leaning my back  on the chair.

His hand left my waist to take the remote control on the table.  And with just one tap, the television came to life. A few taps and the television was tuned to his desired channel. The remote control back on the table.

His hand returned to my waist, my lower waist when the characters of the movie being showed started to kiss. Daniel moved closer than he already was. His other hand moved to my lap and his chin, to the crook of my neck.

I stiffened when his lips made contact with the skin on my neck. Using his hand round my waist, he pulled me closer to him, trying to get me closer than I already was as he peppered kisses round my neck. This made me shift uncomfortably.

With a frown on his face Daniel asked, "what's wrong?" His hand on my waist and lap didn't move but his big brown orbs stared at me.

"We're at your parents house." I gesticulated to the surroundings, moving my hands a little. "What if someone enters?"

"No one will. My mother won't be back till evening or night. I'm all alone in the house till then."

"But-"

"No buts Tobi." I fell silent. He didn't say a word too, only the sound coming from the television filled the room. "Let's go to my room." It sounded like a suggestion. He was biting his lower lip.

I gave him a look, a questioning look, tilting my to the side. "For?"

"I just want to show you how it looks." He stated, like I should have known. "And a few other things."

I was hesitant. My mother had warned me numerous times not to go into a male's room but Daniel was my boyfriend and I trusted him.

I stood from the sofa, making him take away his hand from my body. "Let's go."

He stood at my instruction, entwining our hands together as he led me to the stairs. Daniel's hand slipped to my waist when we got to the stairs. I moved in front, his hands on my waist, directing me while my hand ran over the gold plated hand rail as we walked up the stairs.

Just like the living room, this part of the house - upstairs, was painted white too. He took my hand and led me to his room. We passed a few doors then we finally stopped at a wooden door which Daniel turned the door knob.

His room was simple and very big, bigger than my sisters and I's room. His bed was the first thing you would notice when you entered into the room. It was neatly laid. Unlike the other part of the house I had seen, his room was painted a light cream color.

He had a bed side table with a lamp on it and a book placed on it. The only window which was beside his bed was closed but the red venetian blind was open.

Daniel closed the door while I went to sit on the bed. I let my eyes continue roaming the room. There was a door next to his reading table which had a few books and other things. Directly in front of the bed, on the wall was a television. And his wardrobe was facing the bed from the far end of the room.

Daniel joined me on his bed with his arms wrapped around my waist. He placed a kiss on my shoulder trailing it to my neck. His other hand, went to my breast caressing it slightly then dropping his hand on my lap.

Daniel turned me to face him and he placed his lips on mine. I kissed back momentarily then backed out when his hands crawled underneath my blouse. I took his hand away then moved farther from him till my back hit the headboard of the bed, giving us a reasonable distance.

"Tobi what is it again?!" He asked rolling his eyes and a frown forming on his face.

I didn't reply. My head hung down while I played with my fingers on my lap.

"We've done this thing before na!"

And it hurt.

"Did you use a condom the first time?" My voice was small but was still loud enough for him to hear. I had always wanted to ask this question but I never got the chance to due to our breakup.

"No, but I know nothing can happen. I don't have any disease." He stopped. "Do you?"

I shook my head negatively still looking at my hands which I had stopped playing with.

"So let's do this thing." He prompted, moving closer to me.

"No." I brought my head up slowly meeting his gaze.

"Why?"

"Do you have a condom?" The word condom felt strange coming from me. Prior to this moment, I doubt I had ever said the word out loud.

"Condom? No." Both his hands went to his knees making his back slightly crooked.

I vocalized, "then we can't do anything."

"We did it without a condom the first time so why ask I use a condom now?" The irritation was evident in his voice. He was frowning, tapping both hands on his knees repeatedly.

I didn't know where the courage came from but I  insisted. "Use a condom."

I was serious about this. It was a condom or we wouldn't have sex.

"Wait let me check my parents room." Swiftly, he ran out of his room leaving me alone.

In a jiffy he was back. "I couldn't find any." Both his hands were on his hips, as he stood upright. It was now I noticed the small bulge on his trouser.

I turned my face to the wall, arms crossed. "Then we can't have sex." I was very serious about my decision.

"Shit!" He muttered then looked down to look at the small bulge poking out the fly of his jeans. "I'm coming."  He ran out the room slamming the door. This made me flinch but I regained my composure almost immediately.

Daniel looked desperate. And that meant he hadn't been with any other girl.

I stood from the bed, walking around checking his room out.

Minutes later Daniel was back. He showed me his hand with a small red sachet slipped in between his middle finger and index finger. After this, he began to unbuckle his belt.
