"Honestly, I would choose Wizkid over Davido anytime, any day" Doyin said and Paul hissed.

"Who Wizkid epp? Guy, do you realize that Davido and Wizkid aren't on the same level?" Paul asked.

"That's a fact. Davido is not on the same level with Wizkid nah. Who doesn't know?" Doyin asked while Jemima laughed lightly.

"Me I don't understand why you guys are arguing or anything. Both artistes don't know you and its not as if they more you argue the more you get money" Peter said receiving a glare from Doyin.

"Is it your mouth we are using to argue? What's your own?" Doyin asked while Jemima and Paul burst into laughter.

"You have problem" Peter said shaking his head.

"Did you hear?" Doyin asked bending her head and whispering all of a sudden while Jemima furrowed her brows.

"That what?" She asked as her phone started ringing. A soft smile crawled on her face as she picked the call.

"Heyy J" Jemima said into the phone.

"What's up? Where are you?" Jeremiah asked and Jemima pouted.

"I'm in President Muritala Lecture Hall" Jemima replied.

"I'm right outside. C'mon out" Jeremiah replied and Jemima turned towards the entrance door of the lecture hall catching his figure almost immediately. She dropped the phone in her hand and got to her feet.

"My elder brother is outside, wanna meet him?" Jemima asked carefully.

It had only been two days since she became friends with these people and they weren't just the best of the best but Jemima could swear they were the best days she had, had so far in CUA.

"Of course I want to. I've only heard about your brother. Never seen him close before. Let's go and meet your handsome brother" Doyin replied getting to her feet and rushing after Jemima who laughed  walking outside the hall.

Jeremiah was standing outside with his hands in his pockets. Clad in a pair of jeans and a white sneakers; he donned a plain white tee and jeans jacket.

"Whawooo" Doyin whispered beside Jemima who chuckled silently.

Jemima instantly hugged Jeremiah as soon as she got to him while the latter dropped a peck on her forehead.

"How you doing lil sis?" Jeremiah asked with a small smile. He of course knew how lonely and friendless his sister was. He knew her predicament more than anyone else.

"Fine" Jemima answered honestly and as Jeremiah opened his mouth to say something, he noticed the three students standing behind his younger sister.

"Hello" Jeremiah greeted politely as he turned to Jemima.

"This is Doyin, Paul and Peter.... " Jemima said answering Jeremiah unasked question taking a small pause before smiling.

"My friends" Jemima finished as a look of surprise flashed through Jeremiah's eyes before he also smiled lightly.

"Hello, nice to meet you. Jeremiah" Jeremiah introduced himself immediately.

"Hello, you look handsome in person" Doyin said earning a chuckle from him.

"Thank you" he said slapping handshakes with the twins before grabbing his younger sister's hand and turning to the trio.

"I'll be borrowing your friend for the rest of the day. Sorry" Jeremiah said and the twins laughed.

"No worries" Paul replied while Jemima waved at her friends allowing Jeremiah to pull her away.

"Where are we going?" Jemima asked and Jeremiah shrugged.

"Somewhere" Jeremiah replied as he chuckled and walked towards a black Prada parked beside the road. Jemima walked towards the front passenger seat and got in after Jeremiah.

"And who owns this?" Jemima asked as Jeremiah darted her a glance not replying before igniting the engine and driving away.

"So you decided to bring me on a date out of the blues?" Jemima asked with a snort scooping her ice cream into her mouth while Jeremiah shrugged.

"Just felt like" Jeremiah replied as he took a bite out of his meat pie.

"So....... you cool?" Jeremiah asked as Jemima went silent. She didn't reply or say anything till she finished her cup of ice cream. She placed the empty paper cup on the table and ran her tongue over her lips wiping every bit of stain that might have left on her lips.

"I want more ice cream" Jemima replied while Jeremiah chuckled before standing up and walking towards the counter to get more ice cream. He came back with a bigger cup of ice cream and placed it in front of Jemima.

"I am fine honestly" Jemima said with a small smile.

"The last two days..... " Jemima started as she took a small pause.

"It was fun" Jemima finished and Jeremiah laid back on his seat with a small smile.

Since Jemima had resumed to CUA, she only had a word for the University. Boring. She had said it repeatedly and repeatedly that he stopped asking her.

"Doyin, Paul and Peter?" Jeremiah asked quietly and Jemima nodded.

"They are certainly not like Farouq, Faidat, Adesewa and Kamfah but they are fun. Doyin been cooking for the both of us for the past two days" Jemima replied and Jeremiah laughed softly.

"You turned her to your cook already?" Jeremiah asked in a joking tone.

"She likes cooking" Jemima instantly defended herself while Jeremiah laughed heartily nodding.

"Then its fine" Jeremiah said and Jemima smiled and continued eating her ice cream.

Many a time, Jemima had always thought about her lucky she was. She of course knew how worried Jeremiah was about her. She did know that he and Bimbo always brought her on their dates not because they liked having a third party around but it was to make her feel less lonely and not to feel left out.

"Babe" a familiar voice rang near Jemimah's ears as she turned and snorted at Bimbo.

"When have you been ehn?" Jemima asked watching as Bimbo reached over to Jeremiah and dropped a peck on his cheeks before seating down.

"My classes have been tight, sorry I couldn't come to your room" Bimbo replied while Jemima nodded and yawned.

"I'm tired so I'll leave your two alone" Jemima replied grabbing her bag and standing up.

"Where are you going?" Jeremiah asked in surprise and Jemima snorted at him.

"Nowadays, I hate been a third party more than anything" Jemima replied closing the distance between the two and dropped a peck on their cheeks and walked out of the restaurant before they could say anything else. 

Jemima checked her wristwatch as soon as she stepped out of the restaurant. It just a few minutes past 4pm. She did really hate been a third party and for some weird reason it was beginning to irritate her. Maybe she didn't mind or care when she was in secondary school when all her friends got boyfriends and crushes and she was all alone.

But now things were different. Not that Jemima knew what was different though. Not really was different though. Been fed with dog food from almost every couple wasn't a new thing but Jemima had realized that whenever she was around Jeremiah and Bimbo, it was a constant reminder of how lonely she was and her heart would always feel twice as empty as usual.

Jemima didn't have a specific type of guy. Call it impossible or crazy but Jemima had not even crushed on someone before. Never in her life had she given a guy more than two glances. Not that they weren't attractive enough or anything but none of them absolutely interested her.

It was a feeling Jemima hadn't had in a very long time but she did want someone she could easily talk to, someone she maybe liked. Someone she could show herself to without wondering if he would find her weird or not. She really did want to like someone but she couldn't force herself to like someone could she? she actually wanted someone she could call her own person.

Jemima chuckled at her childish thinking shaking her head and coming to a stop by the road side while waiting for a bike to board back to the school gates. A red sports car suddenly rolled to a stop beside her and Jemima watched with her eyebrows raised.

"Jemima right?" The guy asked and Jemima raised her eyebrow at the guy who was asking her a question. the fact he was clad in black overalls and a black face mask made her face wrinkle.

"Yeah?" Jemima replied watching as his lips pulled into a small smile.

"Hop in. Jeremiah asked me to drop you off at school" He replied and Jemimah felt her phone buzz in her hands. She rolled her eyes before swiping the call button and pressing the phone to her ears.

"Have you seen Black?" Jeremiah asked.

"Black?" Jemima asked as the guy nodded retaining his smile.

"Yeah" Jeremiah replied.

"Jemima" Jeremiah called and Jemima sighed.

"Huh?" Jemima replied as a soft sigh from Jeremiah drifted into her ears..

"You are not a third party" Jeremiah replied and Jemima smiled before ending the call. She threw Black another look before opening the door and getting into the car.

"Want me to close the partition?" Black asked as soon as they got back to the road.

Jemima stared at the open space car and at the kind of looks everyone else was giving them. A sports car and a red colored one at that was bound for attention. And that attention, Jemima was tired of it.

"Yes please" she replied and Black nodded his hands reaching for the partition button. the wind blew against Jemima's face, her emotions calming down in an heartbeat. One of her hands shot out and held Black's and the other guy turned to her in surprise.

"On the other hand, just leave it" Jemima said swallowing his saliva and letting go of his hand. 

"You like the wind?" He asked and Jemima turned to him in slight surprise before nodding.

"Yes" she replied and Black stretched his hand out against but this time around it was to increase the volume of the music. His phone rang almost the same time he increased the volume. His smiling face was immediately replaced a blank face the moment he glanced at his phone while Jemima watched him interesting. He immediately stopped the music while picking the call.

"King" Black called as he slowly removed his foot from the accelerator.

"Pick Toni up on your way back" a deep voice reverberated through the call and Jemima suddenly got goosebumps.

"Okay" Black replied taking a short pause.

"King" he called hesitantly.

"Huh?" The latter replied.

"Professor Farida wanted to see you" Black replied and Jemima furrowed her eyebrows. After a long pause, the voice rang in Jemimah's ears again.

"No worries" the latter replied and the call ended. The music continued playing and Jemima found herself taking notice of features she hadn't noticed before.

Except for the black overalls that she had noticed before and his hair been covered with a black face cap; his fingers were adorned with different rings and there a small tattoo peeking out of his wrist . And she also realized a fact she had noticed before, he was really cute.

The voice that had given Jemima goosebumps earlier seem to ring in Jemima's mind again and she chuckled and swallowed her saliva. To think that there was a human with a voice that could give her goosebumps.

Jemima didn't remember deep voices being her thing at all but hearing the so called King's voice; she was seriously thinking of putting it her Things I Want in a Man. He has to have a deep voice.

"You are in what Faculty?" Black asked as they drove into the school.

"Faculty of Medical Sciences" Jemima replied.

"What about you?" Jemima asked.

"Faculty of Management Studies. Accounting actually" Black replied and Jemima raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"Wow" Jemima muttered folding her arms.

"Why? I don't look that smart?" Black asked laughing and Jemima shook her head.

"Not exactly. You look like someone who might be in Theatre Arts or something" Jemima replied honestly.

"Because of my rings?" Black asked again waving his hands while Jemima laughed.

"Maybe" Jemima replied nodding her head.

"You aren't in 200 level are you?" Jemima asked again and Black shook his head.

"No, I'm not. 300 level" Black replied.

"So how did you know my brother?" Jemima asked and Black laughed.

"Maybe no one told you but your brother was twice as popular as he is now when he was a fresher. I met through King though" Black replied as Jemima pursed her lips.

"King? The one who called a few minutes ago?" Jemima asked and Black nodded.

"Yeah" Black replied as the car came to a stop.

"Sorry, I have to pick someone up" Black said and Jemima nodded. she had clearly heard King telling him to pick someone up. she looked around and found a group of people clustered together and shouting on top of their voices.

"Are they fighting?" Jemima asked with a small frown but her eyes widened in surprise as Black flew out of the car flawlessly and started walking towards the group of people with a visible scowl on his face. His cute face was furious as he walked and Jemima could feel chills down her spine.

She blinked her big brown eyes watching as Black tapped one of the guys and the expressions of the guys changed at once. Jemima furrowed her brows seeing the expressions on the guys shouting change and they went quiet as Black started saying things she couldn't hear.

"Wait, are they scared or what?" Jemima asked laughing quietly. She had no idea what he must have said but he soon turned and started walking towards the car while a guy followed him. the guy looked like he had been roughened and Jemima realized that the guy had a small cut on his lips as they neared.

They were beating him up?

The guy seemed surprised seeing Jemima in the front seat as he turned to Black.

"Jerry's sister" Black replied flying into the driver's seat exactly the way he flew out. 

"You good?" Black asked turning towards the new guy who had also gotten into the car. The guy leaned back into the car seat and chuckled.

"I'm fine" he said his lips curling upwards.

"Those bastards" He muttered quietly while Black started the car. 

"What hostel do you stay?" Black asked turning to Jemima.

"I stay at Queen Roseline Hall of Residence" Jemima replied turning to take another glance at the guy seating at the back.

None of the trio said a word to each other till they reached Jemima's hostel. Jemima yawned grabbing her tote bag and pulled it over her shoulders before getting down from the car.

"Thank you Black" Jemima said.

"What's your real name?" Jemima asked.

"Abraham"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I want to apologize sincerely for delaying this particular update since last week Thursday, I have received multiple dms concerning it and I do apologize. I'm already working on the next update and it should come on Thursday or Friday.

Black wasn't in my character aesthetics so a lot of people don't know but he's going to be a minor character that you are going to love to death, I don't know about you but I'm loving the little man.

Who was excited to see Jeremiah again? I was so glad to have him again, and my baby is still a sweet and lovely human being. I just can't handle all the cuteness he's going to bring to this book.

If you watched my character introduction video, then you must know how King sounds already and if you don't know, better fly to my IG page and watch the video. That's when you'll understand why and how Jemima had goosebumps because I also had goosebumps hearing his voice.

We are supposed to meet King officially in the next chapter but I think y'all should meet someone else first, a major character and just take a guess. I'm also curious as to who we would be meeting.

what's your take on Black anyway? I think he can be cute when he wants and be a underground warlord in the next moment. Never trust cute faces please.
