||Eno's POV||

I laid patiently on Emem's queen sized bed, as I waited for her to get back from the party.

Remember the poor guy that was invited to Dafe's birthday party? What was his name again? Oh right, Favour.

Well, turns out he was having his own birthday party and so, he invited Shade and the rest of the gang. Saviour wasn't opportune to go, cause of his fractured shoulder.

Click!

I looked forward, as I heard the door knob and in came Emem.

"Jesus Christ!" Emem stepped back a bit. "You scared me." She pulled off her boots and kicked it to a corner.

"I thought you were a ghost or something," She kept on rambling absentmindedly.

"A ghost?" I chuckled slightly, as I watched her walk over to her reading table. She grasp a bottle of water and gulped down its content.

"Yeah you know, a bed ghost or something." I watched her with confused gaze. My sister could be pretty weird sometimes.

"Any ways," I decided to stop her from rambling any further. "How was the party."

"It was cool," She stretched. "But it wasn't the same without you."

I smiled sincerely at that, but quickly hid it. "I've decided it's time to apologize to Felix."

"But the party was still fun and the people were___" Emem stopped her rambling, and immediately looked at me with stunned eyes. "You want to what now?!" She quickly jumped on her bed, while I sat up right.

I awkwardly cleared my throat. "I. Want. To. Apologize. To. Felix." I said slowly.

She leaned back a little, as she digested every word. "It's not that I'm not happy. I'm super happy with this decision. But, what exactly changed your mind?"

"Felix's mum," Was my short answer. I leaned back against her bed stand. "Turns out I was being selfish."

"And you're just figuring that out now?" I looked at Emem with a frown.

"Not helping," I breathed out. "I need your help."

Emem furrowed her brows a bit, "My help? What exactly do you want me to do?"

"Get me an alone time with Felix. He wouldn't want to talk to me you know." I informed her.

"And you think he's gonna listen to me?" Emem lifted both brows up. "Why not ask Dafe for help?"

"Dafe won't listen to me either. But guess who he's gonna listen to?" I smiled at her.

Emem furrowed her brows. "Who?"

"You!" I spread my arms wide. "He's gonna listen to you! Just try and convince him about my plan."

"But...... What if he doesn't listen?" Emem asked, same time she fetched out her phone from her black Prada hand bag.

"It's you," I tried reassuring her. "Dafe is into you. Which means, he's gonna listen to you. Trust me."

"Alright," Emem sighed, as she gave in. "I'm gonna call him now."

She dialled Dafe's number, and decided to put it on speaker. On the third ring, Dafe answered.

"Um, hey Dafe." Emem greeted nervously. I shoved her a little, so she would maintain her cool.

"I was about to call you," Dafe's voice sounded good and almost flirtatious on the phone. I loved that my sister was into him and all but, Dafe was popularly known as the 'lady's man' at school. He has this really good looks that set him aside from others and he changes girls like the way a guy changes his own underwear.

"You were?" Emem asked.

"Yeah," Dafe confirmed on the phone. "Wanted to make sure you were home save."

If we were whites, Emem face would have been as red as a tomato.

"I'm home save," Emem tried to hide her smile.

"Um Dafe," Emem spoke up again. "There's a reason why I called."

"Anything for you," Dafe wasn't stopping with his flirtatious tone and Emem looked like she was about to melt.

"I was thinking if you could join me, so we could give Eno and Felix some alone time tomorrow?" Emem reached for my neck, like she wanted to strangle me. I get it, she was feeling awkward and nervous.

"I know she's your sister and all, and there's a really thick bond between you guys. But, I'm not gonna associate myself with something that has to do with Eno." Dafe said within one breath.

"But I'm something that has to do with Eno." Emem deadpanned.

Dafe paused a bit, before speaking. "You're different."

"How so," I said unknowingly, then quickly covered my mouth with both hands.

"Is someone there with you?" Dafe enquired, his voice leaving its flirtatious tone.

"No," Emem sent a glare my way. "I just said, how so?"

"That's because you're special," Dafe said without hesitation.

"If I'm that special, why not help me this once?" Emem tried her best to convince him once more. "Eno has learnt her lesson, and she's ready to apologize."

"So, she's there with you." Dafe's words came out has a sentence, instead of a question.

"No, she's in he__"

"I know she's there, Emem. You don't have to lie to me." Dafe sighed. "Eno, I know you're listening to my words, so I'm just gonna talk. I'm gonna help you out. Don't think it's because I believe that you're a changed person, but I'm doing this cause of Emem. Do not screw this chance."

I nodded my head, but decided to use words cause he wasn't here with us. "Thank you, Dafe."

"Are you okay now?" Dafe ignored my appreciation, as he asked Emem if she was satisfied.

"Yes," Emem smiled, even when she knew he wasn't present to see it. "See you at school tomorrow."

"Goodnight, beauty queen." Dafe's flirtatious tone was back on full mode.

"Goodnight," Emem said, before adding the word..... "Handsome." Emem quickly hung up the call and pushed her phone aside.

I looked at her with a teasing smile. "Someone's already falling."

"Shut up!" Emem screeched, then got up from her bed and began to kick me. "Get up and get out."

"Alright alright," I lifted both hands in surrender. "I'm not a ball you know."

Emem scoffed, while I got up from her bed and head out of her room.

"See you tomorrow morning," I said to her.

"Goodnight," She smiled back, before shutting the door in my face.

I wasn't anticipating over tomorrow. Though I wanted to 'make things right' like the way Sofia put it the other day but, I was still scared. I was scared Felix would never want to have anything to do with me ever again.

I sighed as I slowly walked over to my room. I didn't know what tomorrow would bring, but there was only one way to find out.

I'm just gonna wait and witness what tomorrow has for me. I just hope What it brings, is for the best though.

A/N - Hey guys, I'll be leaving for school on Sunday. So, I won't be able to update on that day, cause I'll be on the bus. But don't worry guys, I'll try and publish a chapter on Saturday.

My schedule might change once I get to school. I might update once or twice a week, depending on my free time. I just hope you guys would try and understand.

Next update : Saturday (cause according to the Author's Note, I'll be traveling on Sunday).

Words : 1280 (pretty short, I know. That's the reason why I could even update a chapter. Next update would be longer).

Till next time,

Much love,
