BUKOLA

It's official. The trip is on, for this weekend. Starting tomorrow. She just sent in the details. How fast do these billionaire people get things done?

According to Farida, we leave tomorrow evening and return on Sunday evening.

What is left now is communicating this to Aminu. I am really not completely in on this. Just that I don't want Farida or Tee to start asking questions. I just hope that miraculously, there is something occupying his time this weekend. I'll be so thrilled.

I continue to pace back and forth, quite restless. He is not home yet. So it gives me a little time to think.

My stomach growls. I have not eaten since the cookies at Farida's. I need to fill my tummy with something.

Even though he is not around, the walk to the kitchen is full of dread. Hopefully, he does not come in when I'm still here. Well, prayed too fast.

"Hi." Seems Uncle is hungry too. His tie is out of place and he looks extremely exhausted.

"Hi. Didn't know you were back."

"Yeah. Just came in." He answers. The awkwardness could be cut with an object with pointy edges. When neither of us says nothing after, I go back to dishing out my food. While heating it up, I sit on the counter, looking any where else asides directly at him. When he moves also, my eyes follow him.

Aminu picks out a plate and dishes food for himself. He makes use of the second microwave to warm his.

Whoever made these microwave alarm seriously needs to reconsider his invention because this thing just announces someone to the whole world. I understand its purpose, though. Just that in situations as this one, the silence is more comfortable.

"Are you going to get that?" He asks, irritated. Annoying Aminu is back.

"Is it your food?" I shoot back at him, hissing.

"I don't want my house burning." This man understands how this operates. I know he is aware of the fact that it can't cause a fire.

"Whatever." I take ny sweet time to get down the counter to pick up the food. After setting it on the table, I get a pack of juice and a cup then sit to enjoy my food.

As if to spite me, the nonsense man does the same. When I see him, I hiss and start packing up to eat in my room instead.

"Are you avoiding me?" He suddenly asks, catching me off guard.

"Avoiding you? How?" Even though my response is sharp witted, I still don't meet his eyes.

"I can't believe the proud Bukola is shy simply because of a kiss." He points out and I just roll my eyes.

"You wish. Please, don't disturb me. I want to eat."

"Then, prove it." He says.

"Prove what?"

"That you are unaffected by the kiss. Eat here." I know he is baiting me.

"I don't have to prove anything to you."

"You see. Affected." He lets out a deep laugh and I huff.

"Fine!" I slam the juice pack on the table, sitting back.

"Easy there, tiger." He is still laughing. Aminu is very annoying.

We continue to eat in silence, thankfully. Then I remember the trip.

"Aminu."

"What is it?" He asks. Very rude human being.

"Farida is planning a trip for this weekend."

"Alright. Whatever you girls do amongst yourselves is not of concern to me."

"Not when she wants to make it a couples trip."

"I'm not coming." He does not even wait to hear the details before outright rejecting.

"Alright. Great." I smile broadly. My prayers have definitely been answered.

So, to spite me, Aminu did agree to go. I messed up by being too happy after his rejection. Now, we are on our way to Farida's house where we will all depart from. This Aminu is very petty.

"You guys came!" Farida is super excited about this whole stuff. Of course, Aminu and I have to put up with our act.

His hand slides to rest on the back of my waist.

"Hello, Farida." We exchange pleasantries.

"Let's wait a little. Emmy is almost here." Emmy? Wait a minute!

"Greetings, people." He soon arrives with a beautiful lady in his arms.

"Everyone, meet Sharon. Sharon, meet Bukky, Ree, Tee, Jack, Tobi and Aminu." He gives Aminu a hard stare. I did not miss that.

"Hello, everyone. It's nice to be a part of this circle." All eight of us get into the car and head for the dock.

When Farida mentioned Emmy coming, it bothered me a little. However, now that he is here with a date, I am glad. It simply shows how he has moved on from whatever feelings he thought he had for me.

•••••

"Here are the keys." She hands each couple their room key when she walks in.

Turns out they have a mini resort where they escape to occassionally. I don't know what Farida has planned but from the look of it, just staying here alone already screams fun. Beautiful scenery, majorly filled with trees, natural views and white structures.

Peep our couple below!

By evening, I head out to the Lounge chair to rest and enjoy the evening breeze. Only God knows where Aminu wandered off to.

Since we dropped our bags in the room, he left and has not come back there. Yet, he is telling me I am the one affected by the kiss. Joker!

I was even glad, because I got the space all to myself to freshen up without him interrupting.

I feel eyes boring into me when I am finally sitting. Looking into the house, Aminu is just by a glass window, staring at me. He does not take off his eyes even when I catch him doing so.

After a while of holding gazes, I take my eyes off him, only to be met by his figure walking to where I am.

"Truth or Dare tonight!" Farida's voice interrupts our little moment and I let out a sign I never knew I had been holding.

"Alright." My voice croaks when I answer. Aminu smirks before turning to leave.

"Ouuu...I need a fan here, even if we are outside under the cool breeze." This one has come again with her drama.

"Why?"

"Did you see the way your husband was looking at you? Like he wanted to rip off these tiny pieces of clothing off your body." Exaggeration!

"If he does not look at me that way, who will?" I know I'm not supposed to say this, but I need to convince her.

"That's the spirit, girl!" She cheers.

"So, T or D later?" She asks and I nod in agreekent.

After taking her leave, I shift in my seat. The only thoughts that ring in my head is how much trouble Farida has just landed me in.

•••••

We are currently sitting in a circle, each couple beside each other and a fire in between us all. The rules of the game is simple. The person who spins the bottle gets to read out what the person who the bottle points to should do. After taking their truth or dare, it becomes their turn to spin the bottle.

Also, there are many random questions and dares in two separate shiny boxes labelled T and D respectively. Also, all external stuff needed to make this fun are in another bigger box.

The first person to spin is Aminu. The bottle lands in front of Tee.

"Truth or Dare?" He asks her.

"Dare." She responds. Dipping his hand in the box, he retrieves a card board and chuckles.

"This is easy. Your partner feeds you chocolate candy for 30 seconds, and you have to say, 'Thank you, Daddy' after each one."

"I love this." Jack says and winks at her. We all begin to countdown when they start.

"Thank you, Sugar Zaddy." Tee says the last one making us all laugh. Watching them was fun.

Next to spin is Tee. The bottle lands in front of Tobi. He picks dare.

"Lightly trace your hands over your partner's lips and whisper, 'I'm coming, I'm coming' five times and then 'I just came' as the six." Tobi smirk and immediately grabs Farida to sit on my laps.

The scene unfolds in our very eyes. Honestly, the game of temptation they were both playing was intense. By the time they are done, he does not let her leave his laps.

With the rate at which this is going, it is becoming a strictly dare game. Nobody is opting for the 'truth' option.

"Give your partner a lap dance." Tobi reads out to Sharon. A smirk dances on her lips when she climbs ontop Emmy and begins to dance.

She is so flexible that I am jealous. She definitely has to teach me that. Abeg, there's no need sef. It's not like I am doing it to any partner. Emmy also does not let her leave him.

"Kiss your partner without a care." Sharon reads out to Jack. They all have their women on their laps. Well, except Aminu and I. We have thankfully not had the bottle spinned at us.

"Do you have an 'I'm definitely getting laid tonight' outfit?" Jack asks Farida. Finally, our first truth.

"Yup yup! Definitely!" While laughter fills the atmosphere, Tobi dips in his head to kiss her on her necks, whispering stuff to her.

"Oya, focus." She playfully smacks him.

"I hear you, ma'am." He throws his hand in mock salute. Farida spins the bottle and it comes to a stop in front of Aminu.

"Finally! I have been waiting for this! Just did not want to spoil the rule of the game." She exclaims. Well, I have not.

"So, which is it?"

"Dare." How dare this man?

"Blow air on the back of your partner's neck, alternating hot and cool for one minute. Do not touch them. Afterwards, you take off a piece of clothing from them using your teeth." She reads out, wiggling her brows.

Aminu narrows his eyes at me and smirks. Leaning closer, he starts to blow air on my neck and I swear, it's just supposed to be air. Just that the proximity between the both of us, and the dangerous glint in his eyes make me shiver.

This was the longest one minute of my entire life. And to think there's more after.

In a split second, his lip grazes my necks and he sucks in a little, resulting to a gasp from me. Others just cheer him to go on.

Then his teeth starts grazing my skin. Uncle, they said take a piece of clothing off, not make out!

He then reaches for the helm of my kimono and starts taking it off. By the time he is done, my breath is ragged. I am a mess and he knows that. The smirk on his face tells it all.
