Femi's POV.

"Femi, are you deaf?! I said what happened here?! Why are you nosebleeding?!" Mom yelled while I groaned, nursing my throbbing nose as blood trickled down from my nostrils and onto my white dress shirt. Now, I'm sure it'll be condemned. I can't possibly get it back to it's original color.

"Mom, I-"

"I punched him in the nose, accidentally though" Chioma replied timidly, cutting me off. I turned around and mouthed the words: "stop talking" to her. She seriously didn't have to tell my mom that. For all I know, my mother will be so mad at her now.

"Mom, mom, mom, see eh. It's by mistake, it wasn't intentional. She was only trying to__"

"Femi, don't try to lie to her. I don't need you to take the blame for my mistake" Chioma said and I gave her my are-you-for-real?  Look.

Is she seriously trying to act all I-don't- need-your-help right now? I'm trying to help this girl! She doesn't know my mother oh.

"Wait a minute, Chioma. Why did you do that? What did he do?" Mom asked and I groaned, knowing this wouldn't end well.

"He, um, he..." She sighed. "He tickled me" she muttered in a low voice. I must say, she looked really submissive right now, and I know it's cause of the very intimidating look my mom was giving her right now.

"Ah-ah! Is that all? Because he tickled you, you now decided to break his nose for him?" I could tell by the sound of her voice, that mom was really angry but was trying to contain it. Ever since I was a child and even till now, my mom has always hated seeing me getting hurt. And now that she has lost my sister, I'm all she has and that's why she's this upset.

But c'mon! I did not die nau, I only broke my nose...temporarily!

"Mom, it was a mistake. I was the one that started it and__"

"Femi, close your mouth. I was not talking to you, it is Chioma that I am talking to" she warned, cutting me off, her calm but very intimidating look still on her face. I swallowed my words immediately and plopped on the bed still nursing my throbbing nose, my hands now sticky with my own blood.

"Oya, apologise" she said to Chioma who looked surprised. Deep within me, I scoffed knowing she'd rather die than to have herself apologise to me. So I had to save her the trouble.

"She already did, like five times now. She was still apologising when you came in" I lied and she looked at me, no emotions present in her eyes, although I knew she was happy that I just saved her butt.

"Okay. That's fine then, you see eh, Chioma I'm not angry at you oh. I was just, em...airing my views. Okay?" She smiled at her and Chioma nodded her head with a small smile of her own. "Ehen, I came here to call you both for dinner. Abi Chioma, do you want to eat in your room?" She asked and Chioma nodded affirmatively.

"Okay, I'll have one of the maids bring you your food. It's spaghetti, is that okay with you?" She said to Chioma who once again nodded her head affirmatively. "Alright then. Oya, Femi let's go. The first aid box is upstairs, follow me so I can treat the nose then by tomorrow morning you can see the doctor" she said to me and I got up from the bed and followed her, but not before mouthing a "goodnight" to Chioma.

"Ah! Femi, what happened to your nose?" Damola asked as I got into my room and met him sitting on the lounge chair and watching TV.

What's with everyone and asking me about my nose? Leave it for me nau, it's how I like it.

"Nothing" I muttered as I plopped on the bed and groaned all the same time.

"Guy, wetin happen nau?" Damola asked once more and I hissed.

"I hit my nose on the wall, just for fun" I replied sarcastically and he eyed me.

"E Be like say you don't dey crase, bah?" He said and I laughed.

"Oya, fine. Chioma did this to me, I thought she was a prissy girl, guess I was wrong. And the most embarrassing part is that I was making mouth oh, then she just...she just showed me my place" I chuckled, even laughing was hard and the pain was so excruciating.

Guess that saying 'punch like a girl' has two meanings. Some girls really know how to punch when they put their heart and mind into it, and that Sassy Brat is one of them. Truly, after God; fear girls!

Damola finally laughed after he had fully understood and digested all the information I'd just given him.

"Wait, Chioma" he laughed. "As in, the Chioma downstairs, the fighting Tigger we both know?" he asked and I glared at him for asking such a stupid question.

"How can?" I asked sarcastically. "Which other Chioma do you know?" I asked with an eye roll.

"Many. Chioma Aniobi, that Chioma I met at a club one time, my brother's wife, my__"

"Oya, enough. We know you know all of them. Lemme hear word abeg. I'm tired" I said whilst getting up from the bed and heading into the bathroom.

"Shame no even catch you as you talk am. Girl punch you for nose, choi! You fall hand no be small, I swear. I'm ashamed to identify myself as your guy, what a disgrace!" Damola said and I hissed, ignoring all that he said.

"I sha went to see Kunmi oh" I yelled from the bathroom where I was brushing my teeth.

"Ehe! What now happened? Is she still vexing?" He asked and I gargled the water in my mouth and spat it out before replying him.

"She's no longer angry oh, but the girl is leaving for Abuja on Saturday" I said.

"Oh wow! Why?"

"Wedding" was all I said.

"Okay oh! Lemme not say what is in my mind" he said and I laughed.

"Better don't" I replied.

I was lying on my bed and typing on my laptop when I heard a knock on my door.

"Yeah? Come in!" I answered, my eyes still glued to the screen of my laptop. Finally, the door came open and Chioma walked into the room dressed in a black night dress with a black lace robe over it. I really must admit, it suited her just like I'd hoped it would. I do have a nice taste.

Take that, Chioma!

"I, uh, I came to see how your nose is doing" she said, a slight scowl on her face. Damola sat up on the bed and smirked.

"Gurl, you're looking hawt! So sexy looking!" He grinned and Chioma's scowl got wider and she glared at him.

"I'm not here for your pervy remarks, Damola" she said, stressing his name for more impact.

"Oh really? But it's not my fault nau. If I see something looking so fine and hot at the same time, I must say something. And besides, this mugu by my side doesn't want to acknowledge that" he smiled and I shook my head at him.

"My nose is... slightly better. It's still throbbing though but not that much. Thanks for checking up on me" I smirked. "I thought you didn't care" I added and she sighed with an eye roll.

"I'm not that heartless, you know? I felt...pity, so I came to check if you're still um, breathing well. That's all and besides, your mother asked me to give you this medicine so I thought I might as well just casually ask about how your nose is doing" she said with a shrug. "Here, your mom said you should take this right now before going to bed" she handed me the medicine and I groaned.

Ugh! I hate medicine!

"Ooooooh God! Why nau?!" I whined out of annoyance.

"What's your problem now?" She asked and Damola chuckled, knowing how much I despised taking drugs. I'd rather have an injection.

"He hates taking medicine. He's a big baby oh, forget all this overgrown tissues and second hand muscles he has. This one? Biggest baby I know! Overgrown baby of the century!" He said, laughing afterwards.

"Enough nau. Haven't you disgraced me enough? You will be talking anyhow" I hissed, collecting the medicine from Chioma. "I'll take it, thank you" I said, still contemplating how exactly I would do that. Well, I might as well dispose of it but with this first class ordained monitoring spirit by my side, I highly doubt it will be possible.

"Well, I'm going now. Bye" she said, heading towards the door.

"No hug, no kiss goodbye, no goodnight, no nothing abi? Is that how you use to do?" Damola said and I groaned.

"This guy eh! You no fit shut up abi? You talk too much!" I said and he eyed me.

"It's not your fault, it's how I'm just managing you in this life, else your life would have been meaningless" he said and I shook my head in disbelief.

"Come and hug me jare! Leave this one to be talking nonsense" Damola said, getting up to meet her. Chioma had a slight scowl on her face and I was surprised Damola still had the guts to actually hug her. Of course she didn't hug him back but he kept hugging her and I was waiting for her to finally erupt an insult at him.

"That's enough, Damola!" She said but he continued, if only he knew how I got punched on the nose, he'd stop hugging her immediately.

"Your bosoms are so soft and__" she pushed him away with a huff and a glare.

"Such a perv! Make the mistake of hugging me ever again and I swear you'll loose your genitals!" She said before furiously opening the door and storming out. With her gone, I finally let out a loud laugh.

"I keep telling you she's not that kinda girl, she doesn't take nonsense from anybody. But still, you keep gathering morale to step on her tail. You're even lucky she didn't leave you with a physical bruise. That girl?" I laughed. "She's a tigress!" I laughed once more and he hissed.

"Whatever!" He muttered and I laughed harder.
