Chioma's POV.

Agozie and I were now seated at the dinning table and enjoying his very delicious jollof rice with his homemade apple juice and coleslaw alongside saucy grilled chicken.

"Who knew you could cook so well? I mean, this is really delicious. Even I can't deny that fact" I said and I watched him chuckle. Something about that chuckle made me smile, he looked really handsome... Especially today. He was only wearing a green football jersey with black jean shorts and he had a black bandana tied to his head, giving him that bad boyish look with a gold chain around his neck, and his black puma slippers on his feet.

"Chioma" I heard him say as he clicked his finger in my face to get my attention.

"Huh? I mean, yes?" I replied, suddenly feeling embarrassed that he caught me staring like a complete and utterly embarrassed doff.

"I asked if you'd like to go out instead of being in here all day" he said and I took a sip of my Apple juice and thought about it for a while.

"Some place like?" I asked and he ran a hand through his bushy and curly hair. His hair was almost as thick as the Sambisa Forest. I've never seen a guy with so much hair before.

"The movies. And you can pick the movie yourself, as long as it has nothing to do with those lovey-dovey nonsense you girls waste your brain cells watching, then I'm cool with it. My treat" he said and I bit my lower lip in thought.

"I don't know," I started, still in thought. "I'm kinda of full right now" I replied and he sighed.

"Then Saturday?" He asked.

"Saturday is just fine" I replied with a smile grazing my lips.

"See? You're smiling anyhow cause of me. Am I not too much? Are you not feeling me? I'm too good jare! I'm a boss!" He joked, flexing his muscles as he did while I laughed whilst rolling my eyes at him.

"You're really something" I muttered and he grinned.

"But seriously though, please keep smiling. You hear? It suits you" he said and I grinned in response.

"I'll be right back" he said, getting up from his chair and heading to the kitchen.

"What's wrong?!" I hollered from the dinning room.

"Nothing!" He hollered back." I just need a drink" he said, walking back into dinning room while holding a bottle of whiskey in his hand and a glass cup in his other hand, "want some?" He asked, pouring some of the contents of the bottle into the glass cup he held in his hand.

"No, I don't drink" was my simple reply.

"Why?" He asked, taking a sip out of the cup.

"I just don't drink. My body can't process alcohol really well so I'd rather not. Besides, the last time I took alcohol; I did so many crazy things" I smiled to myself as I took my now empty plate to the kitchen.

"Oh, so you did drink?! You pretty rascal!" He hollered from the dinning room and I shook my head amusedly as I returned from the kitchen with a chilled bottle of water in hand. I sat on one of the couches in the living room and turned on the TV and Agozie joined me on the couch where I sat shortly. I gagged the minute he got closer, I almost forgot how much I hated the smell of alcohol. It always made me nauseous.

"Can you not...?" I gagged. "Can you not drink that while your here?" I asked and he squinted his eyes with his lips pursed like he was thinking about it.

"No" he suddenly replied with a smirk on his face, gulping down a while lot of it.

"Why?" I asked as I picked the remote to change the channel.

"Because this is Nigeria, I can do whatever I want and whenever I want it. So Chioma dear, you'll have to accommodate me and my baby here" he said, taking a long slurp out of his drink.

"Well, I can't sit here while you drink that. I'll be in Amanda's room" I announced, getting up to leave but he pulled me back with a goofy grin on his face.

"What if we make this interesting?" He asked and I narrowed my eyes at him with folded arms.

"How?" I found myself asking.

"Simple, we play a game" he smiled, taking large gulps of the content in his glass cup and pouring more of the awful liquid into his glass.

"What stupid game is that?" I asked, nonchalantly.

"Truth or Dare. Any dare or truth you're being told or ask to do and you forfeit it, then you'll have to drink. Easy and harmless" he grinned and I widened my eyes in surprise.

"How is that harmless? If I__"

"So you're saying you can't do? You're a coward, right? Thought as much" he smiled to himself and I rolled my eyes at him.

"Quit trying to use Reverse Psychology on me cause we both know I should be the one doing that and not the other way around" with that said, I earned a loud hearty laugh from him.

"Please na! Just one round, please?" He begged, trying as much as possible to look cute while doing it. I closed my eyes and thought about it for a while and suddenly realized that it probably wouldn't be that bad and so I agreed to playing his dumb game.

"Fine, but only one round" I said, taking a seat once more.

"Yeah. Trust me" and then he walked into the kitchen and returned with an empty bottle of soda in his hand. Taking his seat once more, he placed the bottle at the centre of the room and smiled as he spun it around. I silently hoped and prayed it wouldn't land on me and luckily, it didn't.

"Truth or Dare?" I asked and Agozie lay back with a smile on his face while looking me in the eye.

"I'm a man, not some helpless chicken. Dare" he replied and I rolled my eyes ever so tirelessly and thought of the dare to ask.

"I dare you to...rap ten different songs in fifteen minutes" I finally said and he looked at me amusedly.

"What kind of dare is that?!" He laughed.

"I thought you were a man and not some helpless chicken. A dare is a dare" I smiled and he ran a hand through his bushy hair.

"You're so heartless, that's so difficult" he whined, putting his glass down.

"The clock is ticking! No time for nonsense, please!" I said and he shook his head, once again, laughing. I watched him begin with two of Eminem's raps, then Big Sean and then Nicki Minaj, Cardi B's and then the time elapsed.

"You only did five songs, which means you lose this round" I laughed as I spun the bottle around. It landed on me and I could see the glint of mischief lurking in Agozie's eyes.

Oh, I am so dead!

"Truth or Dare?" He asked.

"Truth" I simply replied.

"Chicken!" He scoffed but I chose to ignore him.

"Fine, who was your first? And when and how did you guys meet?" He asked and I sighed.

"I thought you're only meant to ask one question" I said and he shrugged.

"A truth is a truth. Now talk, you're wasting time and this is quite easy. Abi you're afraid to say you were fifteen?" He wiggled his brows and I glared at him.

"Don't be a fool" I spat out and he chuckled.

"Oya answer us. Answer us fast fast!" He said and I shook my head amusedly.

"There's only one of you" I stated the obvious and he gave me the are you being serious? Look.

"Talk jare!" He said.

"Okay, I was nineteen then. He was my course mate back in University and we met through my roommate" I simply said and he grinned.

"Nineteen? Are you sure you're not lying? You look like you did it when you were ten" He said, wiggling his brows at me.

Is he being serious? Ten? Do I look like a dog to him?!

"What do you take me for, this boy? Of course I'm not lying. Why will I lie?" I asked and he chuckled.

"I'm just pulling your leg , of course I know you were a holy child. I was fifteen when I first had mine" he said with so much confidence. I wasn't even surprised, I mean, look at him. Obviously he's not a virgin, so I definitely wasn't surprised to hear that. He spun the bottle and this time it landed on me, again.

"I didn't ask" I snapped at him nonchalantly and he grinned.

"But you were thinking about it" he smirked and I chose to ignore him, knowing this was another truck to get me annoyed.

"Truth or Dare?" He smirked, looking at me with a glint of mischief lurking in his orbs.

What's he thinking about?

"Dare" I finally said. I'm no coward.

"Bravo! I was hoping you'd say that. Okay, so I dare you to kiss me, french kissing. As for me, I'm ready when you are...anyhow you want it, I'm a professional at it" he said and I face-palmed myself.

I should've known.

"Hand me the thing" I said, and he grudgingly handed me the bottle of whiskey and I took a swig.

"Just kissing oh! Only kissing, a very easy something. What is there na?! And with this kind of lips, Jesus Christ! Do you know what you just gave up? Tons of girls would kill for that kind of opportunity." He whined and I cringed the minute the liquid landed on my tongue.

"Well, unlike those girls, I'm not stupid. I can't kiss you, you're Amanda's cousin and we just met like a month ago and if I kiss you things would be weird between us and I don't want that. See?" I replied I had taken a swig out of the bottle of whiskey.

And that was how the game continued, with Agozie asking me numerous and outrageous dares and truths. With the amount of stuff he had asked me to do and say, I took a good amount of swigs cause I just couldn't do them. He was barely affected cause he did almost all of the dares and truths he was assigned. So it came as no surprise that at the end of the game, I was already so drunk that I kept speaking gibberish and in a very fast pace. I had absolutely no control over my words or action. And the last thing I remembered before dozing off was Agozie actually kissing me, every other thing that happened seemed so vague and before I knew it, I slowly succumbed to totally darkness, slipping away into a dreamless sleep.
