Chioma's POV.

The stares I got from Femi's stupid friends were just so uncomfortable but I chose to act unfazed by them. Deep down in my heart, I was actually grateful that Femi offered that I stay at his place. At first, the idea seemed so wrong to me but the minute I thought about living on the mainland, I was happy he offered to help me out. But I won't tell him that of course, I'll never live without hearing him brag about it each day.

"So, I'm Damola. Nice to meet you" the guy, whom I sat next to, said to me. I turned to look at him and then nodded my head in response.

"I'm Chioma" I simply said, hoping that he doesn't expect to start up a conversation with me cause I was in no mood for that.

"Yeah, so how exactly did you meet my crazy friend?" He asked further and my eyes went through a major rollercoaster.

"Not that kind of girl, Damola. Be careful cause she bites" Femi said from the driver's seat and I could see him smirk at me through the rearview mirror.

"Mind your business, jerk face!" Damola yelled back at him and chuckled at the same time.

"Femi, I still don't get why she's in here. You haven't even explained what's going on to us" The girl, whose name should be Kunmi or something, said.

"Well, the she you're talking about is right here" I said, feeling really irritated by her comment.

"I know that, so please shut up. I wasn't talking to you" she snapped at me.

"Yikes! Girl drama 101" Damola muttered but I still heard him anyway.

"Kunmi, or whatever it is you call your stupid self, I don't have your time. You're the least of my problems, so don't step on my toes" I warned her, wearing a scowl on my face.

"Hey, hey. Can you two just get along and not try to kill each other while we're in here?" Femi said and I silently growled at him.

"Well, as long as she doesn't talk to me, then I think I'll manage her" she replied, I imagined she'd be wearing a scowl on her face.

Oh no! she didn't just say that!

" Well ride on with your stupidity since it's the only thing you can ever achieve in your miserable life" I  replied with a smug smile on my face.

"You little b__"

"That's enough!" Femi chimed in, cutting her off.

Ha! I still had the last laugh!

" Whatever!" Kunmi muttered. "You still haven't answered my question, Femi" she added almost immediately.

"Oh yeah. Well, Chioma will be staying at my house today" he replied.

"And only for today!" I chimed in.

"What?! Why your house? Doesn't she have hers? The big Aniobi mansion isn't enough for her" she replied with a scowl.

"Just let it rest, Kunmi. I asked her to come with" Femi replied, taking a left.

"Why?" Kunmi asked slyly.

"What's your business? It's not like I'm staying at your house!" I yelled, fed up by her nosy and annoyingly inquisitive behavior.

"Femi, please answer me" she said, completely ignoring me.

"Kunmi, seriously, just let it rest. We'll talk later" he replied and I smiled gratefully at him, happy that he didn't tell her why. I seriously didn't want anyone else to know that.

"Fine! Forgive me for asking in the first place" she replied begrudgingly, causing yet another smug smile to appear on my face.

"Kunmi, I__"

"No need" she replied dismissively while staring out the window.

"Wow, you guys are a hella entertainment. Why d'you stop?" Damola said wearing an amused smile on his face and I glared at him.

"Sorry" he muttered throwing his hands up in the air in surrender.

"Damola, quit being stupid for one minute" Femi replied. I could tell he was smiling, with the sound of his voice.

"You mean me? I'm sorry oh, but I was acting stupid so that you won't end up being the only stupid one here" he retorted and I chuckled.

"How nice of you" Femi replied sarcastically.

"I know, right?" Damola replied with sarcasm dripping in his voice.

"So this means we aren't going to chill, right?" Damola asked, wearing a disappointed look on his face.

"We are, we definitely are" Femi replied and my eyes unknowingly bulged out of their sockets.

We didn't discuss that!

"Um, that excludes me, right?" I asked, just to be sure.

"Nope!" Femi replied, popping the 'p' in his 'nope'. "You're coming with" he immediately added.

"What?!" I shrieked. It's bad enough that I have to stay at HIS house, it'll be way worse to hang with HIS friends.

"Why? You've got a problem with it?" Damola asked, putting on a flirtatious look.

"Yes, I have a big problem with it" I replied, with a scowl spreading through my lips.

"Why? It'll be fun! Just chilling, chatting, flirting. Ya know?" He replied, still wearing his flirtatious look.

"Watch it, Damola. She bites like crazy" Femi said and Damola chuckled while I glared at the both of them.

"Don't worry, I know how to tame girls like her" he replied confidently after winking at me...more like blinking but whatevs!

"I'm not going with you guys" I replied firmly.

"Oh, you will. Cause I'll make you" Femi replied as he drove into the restaurant.

"Why does she have to come with us? If she doesn't want to then let her be" kunmi finally said, sounding really pissed.

"Because I said so and that's why she has to come. Trust me, Chioma, you'll enjoy this. It's fun, swears" he said and I rolled my eyes and Kunmi hissed.

FYI, I hate you, Kunmi, in case you haven't noticed.

"I'm not coming with and that's final!" I replied, I just wanted to get home, lay on my bed and rest. Today's been really hectic for me and I think I've had enough drama for one day.

"No problem" Femi replied and I could tell that he had something cooking up in his head. I know he wouldn't agree so easily without a purpose. But what?

* * *

"You have got to be kidding me!" I exclaimed as he forcefully pulled me out of the car. I mean, literally. "This is wrong. It's wrong to force someone into doing what they don't want to" I added with a huff as he pulled me out of the car.

The nerves he's got! No one, I mean , NO ONE has ever tried that before. And he will most definitely regret doing that.

"Nah, this is right. C'mon, I'm trying to help you here. You need this" he said, pouting like an eight year old. I hate to admit it, but it was...cute. There, I said it!

"I do not need this. I'm fine on my own" I argued.

"No, you're not" he argued too.

"We are not doing this argument thing" I replied dismissively, about to get into the car once more with Kunmi glaring at me in ways I couldn't even understand.

"Yes we are. And come back here" he replied, dragging me back.

"Leave me alone!" I yelled.

"No!" He yelled back.

"If you don't leave me, I'll scream rape. Try me" I replied with a daring tone.

"Oh really?" He smirked. " Okay then" and before I knew what was going on, he picked me up bridal style and walked into the mall while I struggled to get down.

"Put me down!" I yelled in anger mixed with frustration. Like God! Did he actually think this would be funny or something? Cause it's not, it's just so annoying on so many extreme levels.

"No, you're so light. So yeah, I won't put you down" he replied wearing his very annoying smile on his face.

"You guys are doing your love play, right?" Damola asked, giving Femi a thumbs up. If I were able to get my hands on him, I would've given him the smack of a lifetime. One he'll never be able to forget.

Like Eww! Me and Femi? Gross!

"Shut up, Damola" I roared, glaring daggers at him.

"Make me" he smirked and I tried, once again, to get down but still couldn't.

"Femi, this is so embarrassing. Look at the amount people that are staring at us. I mean, staring seriously" I whisper-yelled, all wide eyed.

"Let them stare nau, they have nothing else to do so they are free to stare" he replied nonchalantly.

"Aren't you bothered?!" I shrieked. "They think we're a couple. Like Eww, gross!" I further exclaimed and he chuckled.

"Aren't you happy? Fine bobo like me is carrying you and you're doing Eww, gross! For me" he smirked. "And by the way, do you even eat? You're like so light. That's why I'm not even bothered" he chuckled and I glared.

"Put me down, right now!" I ordered, still glaring daggers, knives and swords at him.

"Fine," he huffed. "Grumpy pants" he muttered as he put me down gently, but I still heard him.

"I heard that!" I yelled while putting myself in order.

"So?" He laughed and kept walking.

"Oh, you guys are finally done. Praise God oh, I was getting bored of seeing you too argue" Damola said, while walking beside Femi.

"Thanks for noticing. Anyway, where's Kunmi?" Femi asked.

"Restroom. I offered to escort her there, you know? But she declined" he smirked.

The rotten minded doff!

" How caring" Femi replied sarcastically.

"I am telling you" Damola laughed while I grumpily huffed behind them.

"Don't be so grumpy all the time, sometimes loosen up a bit" Femi whispered into my ear and winked at me.

Did he just...?

" Femi, I hail oh. I saw what you did there!" Damola hollered from behind me and laughed.
