Daniel kept on smiling throughout the day,he didn't believe what he did. It really took a lot from him to walk up to her and do that,he is also happy she found him attractive enough to let him touch her. He hoped she will come over to his place rather than being stubborn

Monica still gaping at what happened. She can't believe it,she can't believe she let herself carried away so much for teacher and student relationship,now she knows they have pass that but she's not the type to give in easily,she's going to deal with Daniel especially for the stunt he pulled out not so long ago. How can he take her pant away from her,she didn't even know when Daniel removed her pant from her waist. She felt so stupid.

Not looking comfortable she tried walking quickly to her lodge so that she can get another pant,she can't start working around bare like this.

"Miss Korede"She heard and turn around immediately like a deer caught in the headlight

"Oh Mr Adeposi"Monica acknowledge Israel

"Enough with the formalities"Israel said laughing and Monica tried chuckling,she's not presently comfortable for any type of humour "where are you going to?"

"To my apartment"Monica replied,she just wished Israel will let her be,she's still partly horny and also feeling frustrated,she hate how Daniel left her mid what they were doing. He should have just let her came undone

"Oh I heard you're staying in the lecturer's lodge"Israel said and she nodded "let me walk you there"

"You don't have to bother"Monica says forcing a smile

"I have to Miss"Israel said smiling gesturing her to lead the way. Monica led the way feeling very uncomfortable,she felt like Israel knows she's not wearing anything beneath her skirt. She cursed Daniel quietly.

They arrived at her apartment "wanna come inside?"she asked. She hopes Israel will say no

"Yeah"Israel said instead and she regretted asking him,she should have just greeted him Goodbye

They entered her apartment, Israel sat on the sofa and Monica went inside her room getting another pant. She wore it finally feeling comfortable before she joined Israel in the sitting room

"I will be having another class in less than ten minutes"Monica said smiling curtly at him. Israel suddenly look serious

"I have something to tell you"he says

"What's it?"Monica asked sitting down. She's still sex frustrated but try hiding it well

"Do you mind me taken you out on a date"Israel asked and Monica watched him warily "I know I'm rushing things but I have to do this. Let's go out on a date please"

Monica sat quietly thinking about what Israel said. She's not interested in him or whatever but she's sex frustrated,she needs someone in her life to tame her nerves not to talk about the stunt Daniel pull over the other time,she's not planning on sleeping with one of her student

"Okay. I will go out on a date with you"Monica said and Israel's smile went wider. He was so happy Monica decided to do this with him

"What about tomorrow's evening?"Israel asked and Monica nodded

"That will be nice"Monica replied standing up and Israel did thesame thing. She saw Israel out and locked her door placing her back on the door while panting heavily. She can't believe what just happened in less than hour and now she has to get ready for her next class.

Lola in her room taking cereal and casually going through her phone,she felt so peaceful at the moment before her phone rings

"Hey!"she said as soon as she picked the call. It's Joel

"Baby what's up?!"Joel said and Lola giggles

"I'm fine"Lola said dropping her bowl of cereal

"I got the spices for the new dish you wanna try,less busy? So that you can come over"Joel said and Lola checked the time

"Jesus! Joel! You really can go through trouble sometimes,you shouldn't have bothered not after the hospital taking much of your time"Lola says

"I'd bother babe,I told you I wanna win you over"Joel said and Lola heard a shuffling sound

"You already won me over,so what's that sounds?"Lola said casually

"Dropping the ingredients in the kitchen island. I heard something,you said I already won you over?"Joel asked

"When did..."Lola said stopping midway covering her mouth up "you're not supposed to hear that!"she shrieked and Joel bursted into laughter

"Will you come?"he asked

"Yeah yeah"Lola replied rolling her eyes ending the call. She stood up immediately wearing a wash blue jeans trouser and a round neck black top,she took her phone leaving the comfort of her room. She met Sarah on the phone

"Daniel!"Sarah said giggling,she wasn't aware of Lola watching her "I never knew you're this funny"She added before turning around to see Lola who was busy glaring at her

"We will talk later"She says ending the call "sis Lola! Going out?"she asked fidgeting with the hem of her T-shirt

"What did I tell you last time about Daniel?"Lola asked frowning,Sarah remain quiet "what's your problem Sarah? You're a very beautiful girl and any man will kill to have you,why are you after someone who already have a fiancé? How do you think your sister will react if she find out about this?"

"Oh God sis Lola! We are just friends! Just because he has a fiancé can't stop us from being friends right?"Sarah said equally angry

"You're not just being a friend Sarah,I knew you right from the day you were born and I know you want Daniel!"Lola said and Sarah hisses

"You mentioned it the other day I'm now an adult,can you just let me be? If anything goes wrong I will bear my cross myself,thank you but no thanks!"Sarah retorted and Lola watched her her eyes widely open

"I heard you adult! Then you should stop being an hypocrite and apologize to your sister,for all you said that day"Lola said wrapping her hands around her body daring Sarah to say no

"Must I?"Sarah asked frowning

"If you wanna keep staying here you have to and I promise you I won't interfere between you and Daniel's relationship"Lola said and Sarah smirked. She loves it better if Lola will just keep her advice to herself because she's ready to do anything to have Daniel. Daniel have been the man of her dreams and seeing him now she's not ready to let go

"Fine by me. I will check up on her tomorrow"Sarah said and Lola gave her a tight smile

"I will be going out"Lola said walking out of the house without sparing her a second glance.

She took a cab that took her to Joel's house. She gently knocked on the door and Joel came to open it,he was dressed in a multicoloured short and a purple polo shirt

"Being expecting you"Joel said hugging Lola,Lola smiled hugging him back

"I'm here now we should get to work"Lola said smiling and Joel nodded leading her to the kitchen. Lola set the ingredients on top of the kitchen island

"How's the hospital?"Lola decided to start a conversation

"Fine I guessed. I got scared yesterday's night"Joel said leaning against the kitchen door

"What happened?"Lola asked

"Performed an emergency surgery and almost lost the patient,but thank God he's out of coma"Joel said and Lola nodded. She don't really know a thing about medicine

"Hope you're fine now?"Lola asked fetching water from the tap to wash the meat

"Yeah I am"Joel said shrugging. He went closer to her helping her to chop the carrots "you said I already won you over"

"God! Joel! Stop embarrassing me,can you drop this?"Lola asked and Joel chuckled dropping his knife

"I can't Lola. I don't understand how you want me and also try keeping your distance,what's the story?"Joel asked sitting on a nearby stool

"You don't want to know"Lola said chopping onions

"I really want to know Lola cause I Love You"Joel said painfully and Lola stopped what she's doing breathing in heavily

"Who's he? The man that broke your heart"Joel asked

"I was supposed to get married five months ago"Lola said turning over to look at Joel,she tried reading his expression but she got non. She don't want his pity

"I still remember that day vividly"Lola said chuckling "I was so happy I'm finally getting tied down with the love of my life,I left the house with a colleague of mine to get spa treatments and manicure. I remembered how we gist and talk about the wedding that never happened"Lola stopped sniffing trying to blink the tears away "I came back to the apartment I shared with my fiance,I was so happy to gist him about how I spent my day only to meet him having sex with a stranger on a doggy style"Lola stopped chuckling. Joel watched her carefully and quietly. He's a great listener

"The girl begged and ran out. I cried and you know what he said that made me call the wedding off immediately without giving it a second thought  'what's the big deal Omolola,you should already know men are naturally polygamous'"Lola said trying to imitate Fred's voice "I got so angry threw his ring at him and left. I called everyone telling them the marriage is off and this dude never tried apologizing for once. He acted like he's in his right until recently he tried apologizing asking me to come back to him"

"What's his name?"Joel asked finally saying something

"Fred. Ambode Frederick Williams"Lola said and Joel's eyes went wide

"Fred?!"Joel asked and Lola got confused

"You know him?"Lola asked and he shook his head in disagreement

"I don't know him but I have heard of the name,I hear he's a good lawyer"Joel said and Lola nodded believing him,she tried wiping her tears away. Joel sighed breathing out the breathe he didn't know he was holding

"I'm scared!"Lola says in a very small voice "I'm scared of giving myself out again and I feel it's too soon"Joel draw her closer hugging her like his life depends on it

"He was foolish enough to loose someone like you,I'm not him Katerina and I'm not ready to let you go. EVER!"Joel says and Lola snuggle closer to him "let me worship you Katerina,let me show you what love really is. Let me love you whole heartedly please"Joel said sounding vulnerable. Lola nodded in agreement and Joel smiled brightly,he release her from his hug holding her chin up before slowly taking her mouth. He kissed her gently as if he's trying to pour his feelings into the kiss,he broke the kiss wrapping her back in a hug

"Thank you"he says

"For what?"Lola asked

"For trusting me. For giving love another chance"Joel says and Lola smiled. They forgot about the food they planned on preparing enjoying eachother'a comfort. Lola's ringing phone disengaged them

Lola took her phone and met it's Mr Ogechukwu

"Good afternoon sir"she says after picking the call

"Afternoon Barrister. I have thought about what you said"Mr Ogechukwu said and Lola smiled

"Okay,that will be good"

"Meet me in my office tomorrow's morning. We have a lot of talking to do"Mr Ogechukwu says

"Yes sir. We will see tomorrow"Lola said ending the call

"Who's that?"Joel asked

"A client"Lola replied and Joel nodded

"The dish!"Joel says and Lola chuckled
