EDITED

He hasn't changed not one bit after all these years, he still looks the same and now is here at the door smiling at me like he's the best thing that ever happened to me with two odd looking children beside him.

He smiles at me with his arms wide open. "Naomi"

I hesitate for just a second before I close the door in his face.

"Good morning Naomi"

I turn to face Nathan, who looks like he woke up on the wrong side of bed.

"Good morning" I say going back to the kitchen.

He runs his eyes, obviously not prepared to get up. "Who was at the door?"

How do I even say it even me I don't believe he's the human being I just saw maybe it's just an illusion.

"Naomi I asked a question" Nathan says raising his voice a little.

"Dad" I say even though it doesn't sound right to my ears.

I watch as all the sleepiness disappears from his eyes.

"What's he doing here?"

How will I know? Am I inside he's head or did he inform me he was coming. I just saw him this morning at the door. No dey ask me daft question.

I know you're thinking this girl, you use to overreact to small things, you could just have said I don't know, but the smallest of things irritate and annoy me.

It's just how I am, my mum thinks it's a problem. I don't see it as one, I just feel I'm not as friendly as others.

"Why are you taking time to answer questions" Nathan asks me.

I walk into the dining room with my bowl of cereal. "I don't know why he's here"

"Can I have some of your cheerios'?" he asks coming with a spoon.

No, I DON'T SHARE MY FOOD!

"It's too small to share" I say taking a spoonful for myself.

"Liar, you that your food is always enough for three people"

He knows me so well.

I shove a spoon full of cheerios into my mouth. "Three normal people. It is enough for one abnormal person"

"You even know your condition that's the first step to solving it" He says taking a spoon of my cereal.

"I hate you" I say as I watch him take spoon after spoon of my breakfast.

This boy na cow!

"The feeling is mutual" he says with his mouthful.

Talk about lack of table manners.

"Adesua, Osaeze"!! I hear my mum shout and I can tell she's coming down the stairs.

"Ma"! We shout in unison.

"Good morning ma" We greet as she enters the dining.

She sit on one of the dining chairs retying her robe. "Good morning, how was your night?"

"It was fine ma" I answer.

My brother doesn't say anything, I turn to see him gobbling up my cereal like he owns it.

"Give it back to me" I hiss and he mumbles some inaudible word before pushing the bowl towards me.

"Take"

"Are you mad? If you don't want me to use you as punching bag, you better go and make another one" I say giving him back the bowl.

"You are threatening me, the person that taught you how to fight" he says with a stupid smirk plastered on his stupid face.

I snap my fingers and attempt to look vicious. "I will beat you seriously"

"Abeg, no dey form say you get power. I will make another one"

"Aren't you people hearing the doorbell" my mum says I even forgot she was here.

"No ma, this is the first time we're hearing it" I lie.

Did I mention that we have been ignoring the persistent ringing of the doorbell? Well we have.

"Are you hard at hearing, It's the doorbell that woke me up" she says and I can tell she does not believe me.

"We did not hear it" Nathan grumbles.

"You people have started lying to me sebi?" she asks putting her hand on her waist.

Ahh mummy, is not today we started

Don't get me wrong, we tell our mum everything and we always try to be upfront and honest with her but there are those times we have to do what we have to do.

I give up, she's not buying it. "We heard it"

"Why did you ignore it?" she demands.

Nathan and I remain mute, we are playing with fire and we know it but that's the thing about troublesome children like us we won't stop.

"Who is at the door?"

I don't say anything but I know Nathan will say something. He is always the upfront one, always very quick to talk.

"It's Mr Daniels" Nathan answers.

I give him a look like are you serious but he just shrugs. Mr Daniels? Seriously, why is this boy the way he is?

"Why are you calling your dad Mr Daniels?" she asks him.

"It feels appropriate" he retorts.

I expect her to look sad or angry or have a pained expression but to my surprise she is looks anything but sad. She looks extremely overjoyed.

"I've been expecting him" she says smiling.

Nathan's eyes go dark and stone cold as he stares at her obviously irritated by the mere sight of her.

Kasala don burst!

"Why?" Nathan demands, the anger radiating from him is not something that can be ignored.

And I'm not even shook, considering what that man did to this family Nathan has every right to be this angry and maybe even angrier.

"We got married again, we renewed our vows" she says.

Nathan and I share the same surprised looks on our faces. This is beyond us, how could she do something like this and she could've said something.

"Don't look at me like that" she says.

"He was running another family" I spit out in utter disgust.

"He left us for that family" Nathan adds matching my tone.

"I know but now he came back for us" she gushes.

The fact that she can actually be happy about this is pitiful.

"With his children abi?" I ask her.

"Yes, their mum has passed away" she explains.

"So that's why he came back for you? His mistress died" Nathan jeers mockingly.

"You can't understand. This is our life now, we have a complete family" she says.

We don't say anything so she continues.

"You will be nice to them" she adds sternly then she goes to open the door.

I let out an ear piercing hiss as soon as she's out of earshot.

"I'm leaving the house" Nathan fumes as he gets up.

I let out a troubled sigh and pull him back. "Where are you going?"

"Anywhere but here, I'll come back later"

I return my bowl to the kitchen and go upstairs to my room.

I jump on my bed, If my mum was here she'd call me a bag of rice because of the effect my weight has on the bed (which really isnt much) but you know mothers will be mothers.

I'm playing a game on my phone when I get a text from my favourite person in the world, Ayomide Sadiq Adeojo.

Bop Daddy

Bop Daddy

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Luckily for me, I was able to sneak out of the house unnoticed and I'm standing at Bimbo's door and I don't exactly know how I'm going to face her, Anita and Temi considering the fact that I blew up in their face like acne.

We haven't spoken since then.

I ring the doorbell very reluctantly, it is opened by a smiling Bimbo looking happy as always.

"Hey" I greet with a small wave.

Is it just me or did the heavens just turn the discomfort level to a million, I'm pretty sure it's not just me.

"I didn't know you were coming" she says.

"Abi you didn't invite me?" I say jokingly.

She smiles her smile that could win Miss World. "I knew your lover boy will invite you"

"Who be dat?" someone shouts from inside and I can tell its Anita.

"Naomi" Bimbo answers as she gestures for me to follow her inside.

"Where are the guys?" I ask her as we enter the living room.

"Upstairs in my room" she says going to the kitchen.

I follow after her. When I get there I stand there awkwardly watching them get drinks and snacks.

"Are you going to talk or we should go first? Temi asks.

"I'm sorry for overreacting on Thursday. I shouldn't have shouted like that I wasn't really feeling well and I feel that you guys shouldn't gossip so much about people you don't really know what they're passing through" I say with a sigh.

"Its fine, I'm also sorry. It was immature of me to talk about her like that anyway" Bimbo adds smiling.

"We're good?" I ask.

"Yeah we're good" she says.

"Oya let's go upstairs" Anita says already making her way to the stairs.

We follow after her and when we get to Bimbo's room I'm shocked at how beautiful and spacious it is.

"Nice room" I say taking off my shoes.

"Thanks"

"So like are you guys going to acknowledge us?" Tyrone asks.

"No" we say in unison.

So one thing led to another and now we're arguing about whether you'd rather drink Pepsi or coke, this is a very classic argument, I'm sure we have it every other week.

"It has do, let's play truth or dare" Ayo suggests with a sly look in his eyes.

No! I hate this game so much. It's like the game has it out for me, when I pick truths I get the hardest questions and when I chose dare I get the riskiest dares.

"Alright, form a big circle" Bimbo says.

We sit on her floor and form a circle, Temi spins the bottle and the cover lands on Anita while the bottom land on Ayo.

"Truth or dare" she asks him.

"Truth" he answers.

"Have you ever had a crush on a teacher, if yes who?" she asks

"Yes in SS1, I had a crush on Miss Vicky" he replies.

"I remember her, she was hot" Aaron says.

"I swear Guy" Ayo adds smirking.

Just imagine these boys, are these the leaders of our tomorrow. The world is in danger.

"God will help you" Temi says then she spins the bottle again.

The top lands on Aaron while the bottom lands on Tyrone.

"Truth or dare" Aaron asks smirking wickedly.

"Dare" he says?

"I dare you to kiss Anita" he says.

"This is interesting" Ayo says laughing.

"If you don't want to do it, just drop your hundred naira" Aaron says.

"I'm obviously going to do it" he says walking toward her.

He pulls her up and locks lips with her for what seems like forever, the guys keep hailing him as their kiss deepens, they don't seem like they will ever stop.

"It has do oo" Bimbo says and they pull apart.

He gives her a wink before going back to where he was seated. Tyrone the player boy, his flirtatious attitude never gets old.

Aaron spins the bottle and the cover land on Temi while the bottom lands on Ayo.

"Truth or dare" she asks him.

"Dare"

"I dare you to give Aaron lap dance" she says smiling evilly.

"Are you mad?" he asks her as we all burst out laughing.

"Guy do it oo or you'll drop 100 naira" Temi says still laughing.

"I don't have cash that's why I am doing it" he says walking toward to Aaron.

We all bring out our phones to video this epic moment that'll probably never happen again.

We are laughing really hard as Ayo gives Aaron a lap dance and suprisingly he's doing a good job.

"Oya it has do" Anita says in between laughter.

"Waka jam all of you" he shouts going back to where he was sitting.

Aaron looks like he has just seen a ghost. It's the power of ass my good friend. Boy ass to be specific.

The bottle is spun again and the cover land on Ayo while the bottom lands on Aaron.

"Truth or dare" Ayo asks him

"Dare obviously"

"I dare you to kiss Naomi" Ayo says smiling stupidly at me before he turns back to Aaron.

I was definitely not expecting those words.

"Go and do your thing" Bimbo says.

"I must get this on video" Temi says bringing out her phone.

Before I can withdraw my mind from its far places, his arms were around me, I felt again the rush of helplessness, the sinking yielding, the surging tide of warmth that left her limp.

He bend back my head across his arm and kisses me, softly at first, and then with a swift gradation of intensity that made me cling to him as the only solid thing in a dizzy swaying world. His insistent mouth was parting my shaking lips, sending wild tremors along my nerves, evoking sensations I never knew Iwas capable of feeling. And before a swimming giddiness spun me round and round, I found myself kissing him back.

My phone rings causing me to pull my lips away from his but I don't leave his hold.

The intensity in that moment is unexplainable, the look in his eyes as he stares at my lips, the persistent urge to lock lips with him again, the non-existent spinning of the room which only I can feel.

"Your phone still dey ring" Bimbo says snapping me out of my trance.

I detangle myself from his arms. "Oh yeah"

I go out of the room quickly and pick up my phone.

I look at my screen and it's my mum.

"Hello" I say picking it up.

"Where are you?" she asks angrily.

"I'm at a friend's house" I say.

"If you are not home in thirty minutes, you'll regret that I'm your mother" she says the she hangs up.

I put my phone in my pocket and let out a loud hiss.

I go back to Bimbo's room

"My mum's calling, I need to go home" I say getting my bag.

"Why na?" Tyrone asks.

"I don't know, see you guys on Monday" I say.

"Bye" Bimbo says waving.

I run down the stairs as fast as I can I'm almost at the door when someone pulls me back.

I turn to face Aaron. I still can't believe we just kissed. It feels like a dream a very good dream if I may add.

"We didn't finish our business up there" he says smiling at me.

He claims my lips softly before I can reply, I respond immediately this time.

"Isn't your mum calling you?" someone asks causing us to break apart.

I turn to see Ayo smiling foolishly at me. This boy is dead meat on Monday I can bet you that.

Ode

"Bye" I say turning the door knob.

"Bye Naomi" Aaron says as I close the door.
