Kike look tired coming back from school, she quietly drag herself opening the door to the house,she met Jide holding his laptop and greeted him

"Good evening"she greeted dully and Jide noticed, he dropped his laptop on the centre table

"What's wrong with you?"Jide asked

"I'm fine"she replied "where's my sister?"

"Tell me..."Jide was cut short by the opening of the door,Moreni and Monica went inside. Jide smiled going closer to them,Kike took that as her escape and went inside her room

"Jide!"Monica called and Jide smiled

"Moni! How are you?"Jide said and went over to hug him. Moreni excused herself going inside the kitchen to prepare dinner

"I'm fine"Monica replied smiling obviously happy to see her cousin

"I'm so happy you could make it, you're still going back to Abuja tomorrow?"Jide asked 

"Yes, I needed to see you first"Monica said smiling "let me join our wife in the kitchen"Monica said standing up

"You shouldn't bother"Jide said but Monica waved him off going to the kitchen

Jide stood up immediately heading to Kike's room,he wasn't comfortable the way he saw her few minutes ago. He met Kike on the corridor coming out of her room, it looks obvious she just had her shower wearing a pyjamas short and shirt

"Kike"Jide said holding her hand, Kike's mind fled because she knew her sister is around

"Stop holding me when my sister is around what if she sees us!"Kike whisper yelled making Jide to chuckle

"She's in the kitchen with my cousin,now tell me what's wrong with you?"Jide asked but Kike rolled her eyes trying to walk away but Jide was stronger than her holding her down

"Leave me!"Kike whisper yelled

"We are best friends remember,and best friends get worried about eachother,so please tell me what's wrong with you"Jide said and a tear escaped her eyes,Jide wiped it off

"I did something I never did before, I .. I... I kind of insulted my course mate, she said I'm being judgemental and she's not wrong. I shouldn't have done that"Kike said hiccuping,Jide smiled at her innocence. Kike is unconsciously winning his heart over and over again

"It's okay. You will just try and apologize to her"Jide cooed

"What if she doesn't listen?"Kike asked looking at him

"She will, if she doesn't be persistent"Jide said with a dramatic pose making Kike to chuckle "Much better"Jide said wiping away her tears. He lean over kissing her and Kike wasted no time opening her mouth kissing him back.

Fifty seconds later Kike realised what she's doing,she had never kissed Jide that way before. She went stiff immediately,Jide noticed and stopped the kiss.

"I'm sorry"he said and peck her lips before taking a step back. Kike just watched him warily and smiled

"I wished we met in a different circumstances and you not being my sister's fiancé"Kike muttered

"What?"Jide asked

"Nothing"Kike replied walking away. Jide smiled sadly,he heard what Kike said but decided to pretend before being engulf with guilt.

"Uhmm! Jide"Jide turn seeing Monica, he smiled immediately "the rest room please"

"Oh come"Jide said leading her to the guest rest room.

**

Kike joined Moreni in the kitchen feeling way better than before,Jide just have that effect and the kiss wasn't helping either

"So.. the food is almost ready"Monica said chuckling entering the kitchen

"Yes"Moreni said smiling,it's obvious she has taking a liking to Monica "meet my little sister and only sibling Kikelomo"

"Kike! How are you?"Monica said

"I'm fine ma"Kike said giving Monica a once over. She noticed how curvy Monica is with her beautiful big eyes, Kike mentally agreed she's very beautiful,her shape compliment her face.

**

"Thanks for coming again,I will make sure to keep in contact"Moreni said and Monica smiled. They have eaten their dinner and Monica decided to return back home, her baby daddy Daniel have been disturbing her with lots of calls to come back

"That's so kind of you"Monica said hugging Moreni,Kike greeted her and went inside with her sister leaving Jide and Monica behind

"I will miss you"Jide said and Monica chuckled hugging Jide

"Be careful"Monica said and Jide got confused

"I don't understand"Jide said

"I saw you and your fiancés little sister, I witnessed when you kissed her"Monica said and Jide swallowed scared of being caught "I don't know what's going but please be careful,don't throw away your relationship for some momentary bliss. Morenikeji must have worth it before you decided to put the ring on her finger,if the little girl is a distraction,send her away stylishly"

"You won't understand"Jide said and Monica waited for him to elaborate more "I thought I love Morenikeji so much but since I met her little sister I don't know what's wrong with me"Jide said hanging his head down,Monica smiled patting his back

"I'm sure you're old enough to solve your problems, you're not twenty nine for nothing"Monica said playfully making Jide to laugh

"Thank you"Jide said sincerely

"You shouldn't"Monica said hugging her again before climbing the car she came with. Jide sighed before going back to the house

"See... We will talk later"Raphael said ending the call. Raphael breathes out angrily standing up from his bed, his mother had ruin his resting.

Raphael arrived at one of the most popular strip club in Lagos,he is a regular customer and known by most of the workers. He parked his car at his regular place coming down from the car and entering the club, the club was filled with different people,his eyes went around looking for a particular figure

"Raph!"one of the strippers walk over to him waving her hand

"Gold! What's up?"Raphael said smiling at her

"Raph!"Another stripper called him running her hand on his chest,he slowly take her hand away "I'm one call away anytime you get tired of Black,I come with special package"

"I think the boss was asking about you"Gold said and the other stripper's eyes went wide

"Why?"she asked

"You can go confirm that yourself"Gold said shrugging while she walks briskly away

"Thank you!"Raphael said and Gold chuckled

"I will call her for you"Gold said before walking away

**

As usual, Raphael like the special treatment and don't like being mixed up with drunk men,he always ask for a VIP section. He was currently sitting on the usual seat he is used to, the door suddenly creaked open and the lady he was looking came inside. Raphael gave her a once over,as usual she covers her face with a beautiful mask but her body always enticed him,her curve and her edges drives him crazy and wish he could see her face one day

"Raph!"Black called and Raphael smiled "what's bothering my big baby"Black added making Raphael to burst into laughter

"I can't just come here? Without any motives"Raphael asked and Black laughed shaking her head

"What song do you like?"Black asked changing the topic

"Any of your choice"Raphael said shrugging,Black went closer to the home theatre system playing girls need love by Summer Walker. Black move over to where Raphael is sitting, sitting on his laps,she cupped his face

"Tell me what's wrong with you?"Black asked and Raphael sighed closing his eyes

"My mom is disturbing me about getting married"Raphael said sighing

"It's not a bad thing"Black said shrugging

"It would have been easier if I have any woman in my life"Raphael said rolling his eyes

"You can get one"Black said shrugging

"What about you?"Raphael asked

"I'm not a wife material"Black said standing up. "And I have told you several times not to bring that in any of our talks"she said packing her hair up, Raphael stand up immediately holding her hand

"I'm sorry"Raphael said and Black sighed

"It's okay. I should get to work and relief you of your stress"Black said and Raphael rolled his eyes

"I'm here to talk to you, you know I prefer talking to you than any other thing. It relax me more"Raphael said and Black smiled behind the mask, he is so different from every other men she have met, though she is not going to go through that with anyone again no matter how nice they might be.

"Let's talk"she smiled and Raphael exhaled again

"I was planning on surprising my mom before she annoyed me"Raphael said and Black chuckled "you will be surprised what I have to say"

"What?"Black asked

"I'm done with my house"Raphael said and Black mouthed 'wow' "I told you I didn't tell my mom about it right?"

"You did"Black said smiling "congratulations,I'm so happy for you"Black said and Raphael sat down back dragging Black to sit down on his legs

"I will be celebrating the house after telling my mom about it. I would love to invite you"Raphael said and Black sighed

"That's unprofessional. You're not supposed to know how my face looks"Black said and Raphael scoffed

"I think we are way passed that now. You literally know everything about me"Raphael said rubbing his hand on his face "if I'm a bad person you should have known by now"Raphael added and Black held his hand rubbing smoothing on it

"I'm sorry, it's just that I think the moment we take this out of this club everything might change"Black said and Raphael sighed again, obviously frustrated

"Think about it. Just think about it please"Raphael said looking at Black even though he can't see her face, something he always wished he can do "just think about it. I won't be coming for awhile,I will give you some space too"Raphael added and made her stand up, standing up too. He grabbed her closer kissing the top of her head before walking away. Black sighed and collapsed on the floor shedding few tears
