It was happening right before me now, was something I'd imagined and fantasised for almost all of my life, having the love of my life in my arms, kissing me passionately but somehow it didn't just feel right and yet I couldn't find the strength to tear myself away off her. Like I knew I shouldn't be kissing her back, I should bolt right out of the room now but it was like my body just got a mind of it's own. Even if I myself was surprised at the dexterity it was display in this course. I guess years of constant fantasizing can do that to anybody.

It wasn't until Nonye paused as she hastily took off the top she wore to reveal her sexy sports bra that I got a bit of senses back and even then I still wanted to damn the consequences and go right on with it but I just couldn't. I knew if I didn't stop now, then there would be no going back.

"Nonye..wait...we shouldn't" , I put my hands on her shoulders gently to give us some space.

"What?" She gasped little while straining her neck to steal a kiss.

"Nonye, please we really shouldn't ", I shifted a bit from her. "Look you're hurting now and quite vulnerable and you're not really thinking straight."

"Of course I'm in my right senses", she said as she shifted nearer to me and I stood up from the bed not trusting myself to think straight If she happened to get near me again. She seemed shocked at my action as she paused in her tracks to get closer to me.

"Wow!", she scoffed. "I must be the most pathetic person on earth right now", she said as she collapsed on the bed.

"Cmon Nonye, don't say that", I said.

"But it's the truth. Just a few moments of a make out and you're rejecting me too."

"Its not like that Nonye. I just don't want you doing something that you'd end up regretting, ok?"

"Funny", she scoffed. "Everybody gets to decide what's best for me except me. Dayo said he's breaking up with for my own good, so I don't get smeared by his dad's whatever and now you're rejecting me so I don't get to regret it later. And to even think I can came here because I thought I could count on you."

"That's low, Nonye. Pretty low", I said calmly but I was so pissed at her remark. She thought she could count me being some sort of rebound?

"Wait...do even know what you're asking?", I asked, my voice an octave higher. "I can't be your rebound especially when Dayo is involved."

"K, I--I'm..I didn't mean it like that. I'm sorry", she stood to meet me. Her eyes were already teary and I felt bad for raising my voice at her. It was clear her mind was still a bit messy from the breakup. I should have been more understanding.

"I'm really sorry", she cried and I pulled her into my arms to console her. "Its...its...its just that..it hurts K. It really hurts". She cried on.

"Its ok. Its gon be all right soon", I consoled her in the best way I could.
  A while later, we went back to bed. Well I left for the parlour while Nonye remained in the bedroom. Wasn't about to make the same mistake twice. Lying down facing the ceiling, I thought about everything that happened this night. From the near death experience riding on Mia's monstrosity to a swell evening with her later on and now to an intense make out with Nonye later in the night. As if by instinct, I grazed my lower lip with my fingers and images of Nonye kissing me flooded my head.
I won't lie, it felt really good and I would have gone all the way if I hadn't returned to my senses. Her, straddling me as our bodies glued to each other while kissing and me, taking in the pleasant scent of her intoxicating perfume, I'm surprised I didn't blurt out "I LOVE YOU NONYE" there and then. A part of me felt guilty though. Guilty that I was enjoying it and at some point, I wanted it to go on. Guilty, that a part of me wanted her to strongly ignore my weak oppositions. Then, another part of me felt appalled that she was using me as a rebound. I was just so confused that I already decided to skip both school and work tomorrow. Like I've never been this confused before in my life. The issue of Dayo and Mia came up again. Now he's officially ended things with Nonye and I'm sure very soon he'd start bugging me on how things are going with Mia. And then there's Mia, another problem I know I should be avoiding but just can't help myself.

"Damn", I sighed as I began to wonder how my life got so messed up to this point. My life was so simple and fun and void of any drama--which was cool by me-- till my all time crush asked my best friend out to which he agreed to and our circle of friendship got complicated. And then I found a semblance of solace in the unlikeliest of places or person, Mia. It was weird, a good kind of weird. Now, my crush and best friend have broken up and my crush is free again to which honestly, I don't know how I feel about that. I'm not sure about my feelings for her anymore. I know I love her, just don't know if it's as a friend or lover anymore. It would've been better if that wasn't all but no, my best friend now wants my Mia.

"My Mia?", I asked myself, surprised at the my use of the possessive pronoun.

"Nah, I'm just tripping", I scoffed, shaking my head in disapproval. That was just a slip in my thoughts.  I mean there's no way I feel that way towards Mia. Someone I just met a few weeks ago.
  Eventually sleep came and like that, all my worries were swept away in my temporary state of unconscious.

I woke up quite late as expected. Well, I had already decided to myself the day off from school and work so I wasn't really bothered. I stretched and yawned as I looked around trying to remember why I slept in my parlour. Slowly, the events of last night replayed back in my mind. I got up to check on Nonye to see if she was still around. I felt some sort of relief when I saw that she left already. Honestly, it would been a bit awkward if we saw this morning. I walked over to my kitchen to see if I could whip up something with what I had left.

"Damn! I really need to stock up", I said as I stared at my almost empty fridge. I was just happy it was the last week of the month and I'd be paid soon, plus PM would be restocking for the new month and employees get to take home what's left from this month. Things like these are what made me manage the job.
As I opened my phone to surf the net a little, I saw a message from Nonye and hesitantly clicked on it. Somehow, I just felt it had nothing good to offer. It went like this:
  Hey K. I'm really sorry about last night. I don't know what came over me. Guess it was just the pain from the heartbreak or  maybe a desire I wanted to satisfy. Either way, I'm sorry I put you in that situation. I'll gone for a while. I need some space to clear my head. Stay well.

"Oh", I said, feeling relief that it wasn't as bad as I expected. Going away for a while is understandable given the whole situation. Right call by her. I hope she gets over it well and quickly.
My tummy growled reminding me of how hungry I was and quickly, threw a shirt on, grabbed my car keys and stepped out to find what to eat.
I don't know but something about Nonye's little retreat made me happy. I'd like to think that it was the fact she'd get sometime alone to herself to heal but deep down in my heart I knew it the fact that her absence would reduce the drama in my life.
Another person that would free up more drama in my life if he left is Dayo. I haven't really thought about how to handle the situation with him but that would be a fight for another day. ..or now. I got a call just as I was about to leave my dorm and the caller ID read Dayo.

"What now?", I groaned in frustration as I contemplated whether or not to pick the call. Why can't I just be happy for a full 24 hours without anything ruining it.....TBC

Dedicated to Investorrbankz, jullyrose, elzak, babalowo(nastynic), enirock and everyone else reading. Thank you.

Sorry guys for the delay, was short of ideas and the ish with my screen issues which I made clear earlier but funny how some people still came at me when I didn't update. Someone here even suggested that you guys help but that comment was ignored and avoided like a plague. All good though, just reading my work and commenting is enough for me but pls try to be a bit understanding in some cases when I can't update. It is intentional. Y'all have a great weekend.

Kk

"What!", I snapped unintentionally as I pressed the receive button.

"Woah", Dayo chuckled a bit. "That wasn't the kind of reception I was hoping to get."

I sighed. "Sorry man. You just caught me in a bad mood." More like your call is the reason I'm in a bad mood.

"Oh.Sorry about that. You home? I'm pulling up in your parking lot now", he said and I suppressed another groan. How can he call from my parking lot ot ask if I'm around?

"Uhm..yeah. Was about to go get some things for my kitchen though but no wahala sha. It can wait", I said as I got out the car to head back to my place.
This boy doesn't wait around at all. I mean he just broke up with Nonye yesterday and he's already here to start getting it with Mia. How does he expect Nonye to feel when she finds out?

"Selfish prick", I muttered as I unlocked my door with the key card. I wasn't even hungry anymore.
About three minutes later, the door bell rang and I stood to go get it.

"Hey man", D greeted as we shook hands and bro hugged.

"Hey", I replied flatly.

"What's good?", he asked as he walked in and made himself comfortable on one of the cushions. The excitement radiating off of him was repelling. Dude wasn't even hiding how happy he was. He just broke somebody's heart for crying out loud at least he should act like he was remorseful even if he wasn't.

'Yeah right. Because you're so worried about Nonye and not the fact that he's coming for Mia too", my annoying subconscious sneered. The thing is so damn annoying. The only thing it does is too judge me.

"So I did it bro. I broke up with Nonye", he said smiling. "Finally you're free to have her."

"Mmhmm", I hummed and he look surprised.

"Hey, sure you're good?", he asked. "I mean I just said you're free to have Nonye now. Finally you have a shot at the love of your life. I thought you'd be a bit more happy and grateful than this."

"Well, I'm not", I replied.

"Why?"

"Because you broke her heart man and don't give me that bs about you protecting her and her family. She's really hurting man, least you can do is feel remorseful", I snapped.

"And did you say grateful?", I continued. "Grateful to you?...about what? Oh wait, you think you're giving me a chance to be with her because you broke up with her? Let's be real here bro. You didn't do that for me, you did that for yourself so don't act like you had my interests at heart."

"Wow!" Dayo clapped. "Anything else you'd like to get off your chest?" He asked as he stood up.

"Its all coming out. You know K, I've always had this feeling that you're some how jealous, no, jealous is a strong word", he smiled as he continued. "You've always coveted my life. Always wanting the same things I had and I tried to even the field for the both of us. I tried to make you feel welcome as my friend, made sure to share almost everything with you but still I couldn't help but notice that seething underlying aura envy you always carry."

"What has all these got to do with the matter at hand?", I asked confused on what he was about.

"Ah Ha! So you don't deny the fact that you're jealous, good. You're still hurting because Nonye asked me out instead of you. Isn't that why you're like this?"

"What?", I asked surprised. "I mean, yeah for a while I was angry and a bit jealous but not anymore. I've been over that a long time ago. Look man, I appreciate everything you and your family have done for me but aside that, I've got nothing but pure love for you man. You're my brother man but doesn't mean I won't call you on your bullshit when you're wrong and D, my man, you're in the wrong now. I know why you're here but how would you expect Nonye to feel if she finds out you're already making moves for Mia of all people, just some hours after breaking up with her?"
  Dayo didn't reply or say anything as he sat down again. We just stayed like that in silence, the both of us deep in varying thoughts, I'm sure.

"Hey man. I'm sorry about all I said earlier"  Dayo spoke up after a while but I'm sure he wasn't. The fact that he said something like that means he's been having thoughts about it for all through.

"I guess I've been an oblivious prick. I didn't even think about how my actions would make Nonye and even you feel", he continued. "I'm sorry bro."

"Its all good man", I replied. "But she should be the one you apologise to."

"Yeah, I'll do that ASAP", he said as he got out his phone to probably call her.

"Umm...not now though", I objected. "She's probably in flight mode now. She said something about going away for a while to clear her head."

"Really? She told you?", D asked surprised.

"Yeah. She spent the night here", I replied.

"Oh", he said.

"Mmhmm."

We remained in another bout of silence, the only sound was Dayo drumming her fingers on the couch.

"So...", D began and I rolled my eyes already knowing where this was going.

"How's Mia?", he asked.

"Good", I answered as I brought out my phone to busy myself.

"Okay", he nodded and continued the drumming of his fingers on the couch. "How's the thing with Mia going though?" He asked.

"Which thing?", I feigned ignorance.

"Cmon bro. You know the operation help me get Mia?

"Oh that", I said in a bored manner. "I'm not so sure about that." Dayo sat up immediately as the words left my mouth.

"What do you mean you're not sure about that", He asked, trying hard to control his tone.

"I think I like Mia too", I said coolly as I took my eyes off my phone to look at D. He looked surprised before an amused expression took over and then he burst into laughter.

"Yeah right ", he said laughing but stopped when he saw me just looking at him. "Oh no, you're serious. Wow!", he said, that an annoying amused expression still on his face.

"Why wouldn't I be serious?", I asked.

"Bro cmon. Are we really doing this?", Dayo asked smiling. "Look at this, its black and white, night and day. You guys are like that, no compatibility at all. Like how could you even let yourself fall for her, your situation with Nonye should have taught you a lesson", he said before he could stop himself.

"Wow D, thanks", I said, feeling a pang in my chest. That was really hurtful especially since it was from my supposed best friend.

"I'm sorry K. I didn't mean it like that. It's just I don't to see you go through a repetition of what happened with Nonye. Mia's way way above your league, it hurts but it's the truth. Girls like Mia don't notice guys like you. I'm sorry man", he said and patted me on the back.

"But girls like her can go out with guys like you..because you're rich?"

"Uh..handsome too and from a reputable family. It's wrong but that's the kind of society we live in bro. Say, in the slightest of chances she actually digs you, do you think her friends and family would agree? Would she even be willing to be official with you, would she want to be seen in public with you or would you be cool being her one dirty secret?", Dayo's painful but true--to an extent-- words pierced in. Then my mind flashed back to when her friend came to pick her after the first night we met and how she asked that no one knew about it.

"Look man, I'm sorry I put you in such a position. If I knew you liked her like that, I wouldn't have asked you to help me with her. I'm sorry. I think I'll just do it on my own from now on", Dayo said as he stood to go. "I think I'll take my leave now."

"Wait D", I called.

"Yeah"

"Do you really like Mia?", I asked.

"Ever since I laid eyes on her", he replied, smiling. Dude is obsessed with his annoying smile.

"Really?"

"Yeah man."

"Then aren't you scared, that you're dad's embezzlement ish might catch in the middle if in the slightest of chances you guys ever date? You know, the same reason you broke up with Nonye cause you wanted protect her?", I asked with a coy smile of my own. I just couldn't resist the urge to rattle him too the way he's been doing since he came. Whose to say I can't serve him back in his own coin?

"Uh...umm..I--later K", he stuttered as he left. I suppressed the smile forming at the edges of my lips.
Damn! I just admitted to liking Mia. Even though I know Dayo pointed out everything wrong with it because he also liked her but that didn't make them any less true. Especially the one about it being another case of unrequited feelings......TBC

Mia

I couldn't stop smiling all through the night after K dropped me off. Something about him always seem to lift my spirits. I just feel happy and a bit more myself when I'm with him. Can't remember the last time a boy made me feel this giddy. Even the glaring fact that he wasn't really anybody in the society or from a prestigious family didn't seem to faze me at all. I laughed when I remembered how scared he was when I started speeding on the bike. He held me and squealed like a girl.
I got my phone to check my class schedule to see if I had any classes with him tomorrow and was glad when I saw I had just one with him. It was the last class of the day and that made me even more happy and I didn't even know why.

I was up quite early the next morning, feeling all hyper and bubbly. I made sure to do my make up to perfection and pick out the perfect dress for my mood which was easy because in all honesty, one can never go wrong in a Valentino.
__________________________________________

I dashed to the restroom immediately the class ended. I had just a a few minutes to my last lecture of the day, immediately after this one, Advanced Economics. That's the one course I shared with K today and I needed to do some slight retouches on my makeup and appearance. Times like these, are what made me regret not having extra clothes in school all the time.

"What's wrong with me?", I muttered quietly as I stared back at my reflection in the mirror. What's come over me? Like it's very unlike me to be this worked up just because of a boy. Boys are the ones that usually fall over themselves for and its understandable. I'm amazing.
I continued retouching my makeup with the cooked up consolation that I was just doing it because I always liked to good and not because I wanted to look good for K.
Finished and satisfied by the reflection of perfection staring back at me, I made for my last class of the day. Entering, my eyes scanned the all seats in record time, in search of him. I felt a bit disappointed when I saw no sight of him. It would have better if he already here, then he'd get see me make my entrance in full glory. That's the essence of being fashionably late; you get to have the attention of everyone present. Maybe he's not running late or something, I reasoned as made my way to my designated seat where Gina and Juliet were already seating and arguing over something.

"Hey girls", I greeted as I sat down.

"Mia, Versace or Burberry", Juliet asked immediately I sat down, completely ignoring my greeting.

"Uh, how is that even a question? Versace all the way", I replied. No disrespect to Burberry but they can't come close to Versace in any universe.

"Told you so", Gina clapped, clearly excited.

"Y'all just blind", Juliet hissed and we laughed.

Juilet Rose Adesina, another person I can call a true friend in my life. She's the daughter of Chief Johnson Adesina, CEO of Ade Cap, the top hedge fund company in Africa, not just Nigeria. The guy sits on almost all boards of reputable companies in the country. She and her twin brother, Jack are the only children of the family. We call the J family cause their names all begin with J. Yes, her mom's name is Janet. Jack and I dated for a while before he left his masters in the UK because I had a problem with commitments talk more of long distance relationships. Our parting was on understandable and amicable grounds though, no hard feelings whatsoever. We even talk from time to time.

"Whatever", Gina sneered as she stuck her tongue out to mock Juilet.

"Mia", Juilet called. "Been a while, what you been up to?"

"Nothing much, just there", I answered as I looked towards the entrance trying to see when K would show up.
 
"Uh...are you waiting for someone?", Juilet asked. "You've been staring the entrance repeatedly since you got here."

"No" , I shrugged. "I just want this class to be over and done with. I'm so tired", I lied partially. Well for a truth, I was really tired and wanted the class to be done with but was that really the reason I've checking the entrance?

"I know right", Gina chipped in. "I'm drained." Just then the Professor walked in to commence his lecture and K was still a no show. I spaced through the lecture not caring to pay the slightest attention to what the professor was saying. I mean, I couldn't even if I tried because I was pissed. All my efforts to look good all down the drained and the most painful part was that I didn't even know why I was acting like this. I hated that I felt this way; so helpless about whatever it was I feeling. This shit is how codependency starts and I, Mia Rotimi, am an independent woman.

'What if he's sick or down with something?', I reasoned. That would explain his absence in school today. 'Should I go check on him? Wouldn't that seem desperate or thirsty', thoughts just flew around in my mind. The sound of the buzz signaling the end of the class brought me out of my thoughts and almost immediately I had an idea.

"I'm really starving. Let's go find something to eat. My treat", I smiled.

"Yayy", Juilet cheered.

"Wait, weren't you the one who said you were tired and couldn't wait to go home and rest?" Gina asked.

"Yeah. Just that I feel hungrier than I'm tired", I answered with a sigh. "Let's do PM?" I suggested and they all went with the idea. Well, if he wasn't in school then he'd definitely be at work except I was right earlier and he was sick which I hoped wasn't the case.

Getting to PM, I scanned the faces of all the waiters I could see there but the one face I was looking for wasn't there. Maybe he was stationed at kitchen duty or something. A waiter ushered us to an empty table while he waited for us to settle so as to take our orders. I picked the menu to go through it but couldn't decide on anything. I so much wanted to ask the waiter if K was around but couldn't the presence of Gina and Jules. If they caught whiff of this...whatever it was I had going with K, they wouldn't let it go. They would hound mr for answers till I gave in and if I didn't, they'd hire P.Is, hackers you name it. Pretty extreme but trust me, there's nothing that's really extreme when you have piles of cash lying around. I know this because they learnt it from me. I've done much worse to get information about people to use against them. It's best to be prepared. You can tell when war would arise and catch you unawares.

"Mia", Jules called, bringing me back from my thoughts.

"What are you going to have? You haven't picked anything and he's still waiting", she gestured to the waiter.

"So?", I asked irritated. "Does he have to stand here and wait till I order? Can't tend to you guys then later come back for mine?"

"Woah! Easy now", Gina said as she gestured for me to calm. "What's wrong? You've been a bit off lately."

"True", Jules supported. "What's wrong? You can tell us. Is it about your mum?"

"What?", I asked surprised. "No no...its nothing, really. I'm just stressed out."

"Umm...can you guys excuse me for a moment? I think I need to go apologise to that waiter. I was kinda hard on him", I said as I stood up.

"Uhh...ok. Sure", Gina said, looking at me weirdly. Was I really sorry, that I don't know but it seemed the perfect excuse to ask if K was around.

"Hi", I smiled at him. A smile he didn't return.

"What can I do for you ma'am?", he asked in his professional tone.

"Okay", I began as I took a deep breath. He wasn't going make this easier for me. Apologising isn't really my strong suit but I had a mission that required me eating the humble pie. "I'm sorry about earlier. It wasn't my intention to go off on you like that."

"Its okay ma'am", his face softened. Good, that's out of the way.

"Um...I'm looking for someone, an employee precisely. He goes by K", I enquired. "Do you know him?"

"Yeah, of course I know K. Uh..but he isn't in now. He called in for an off day today so someone else is covering for him. Is there any problem?"

"No no", I replied quietly, feeling disappointed. "Thank you", I said and walked back to my table.

Just like that I lost my appetite. I was still hungry but didn't just have the will to eat there anymore. The spaghetti and meatballs I settled wasn't doing it for me at all. My taste buds craved for a certain type of noodles or pasta but it certainly wasn't this.

"I want noodles", I said softly without thinking.

"What?" Jules asked.

"I want noodles", I said again.

"You don't even like noodles", Gina or Jules replied. I wasn't even listening anymore as I'd begun packing my stuff in my bag. All these hide and seek games wasn't for me. If I wanted to see someone then I'll see that person. That's who I am, a proud, confident and independent 21st century woman.  (Okay, that was a bit dramatic but something along that line).

"Where you going to? You barely touched your food", Gina pointed out.

"I'm going to get my noodles", I smiled.

"I'm calling a doctor. She's gone nuts", Jules said as she got out her phone.

"Don't be too dramatic Jules. I'm fine", I laughed. "Bye, love you guys."

In a few minutes time, I was already in the parking lot of the school dorm.

"Breathe Mia, Breathe. You got this", I said to myself as I got out the car and marched into the building.

"Well, here goes nothing", I said as I hit bell button on the door and almost instantly, the door opened to reveal sweetest sight I'd seen all day. A look of shock was on his face before it was replaced by a smile and just like that my heart warmed.

"Feed me", I said out without thinking......TBC
