CHAPTER TWO

🌻I'd rather be hard to deal with,🌻

🌻than easy to play with🌻

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

Thursday evening....🌘

I just finished clearing the dinning table from the leftovers. My step dad was working overnight, so it was just the three of us.....

While Dora was about heading to the door, Debbie was busy typing the life out of her phone.

"Dora, you are dating Carlos??" She asked and Dora paused

"We are not dating!!" She yelled and sighed deeply

"It's barely a two weeks in school and you already have a boyfriend. It's all over the school news" Debbie persisted

"I said we are not dating!!" Dora screamed in frustration

"Where are you all dressed up to?" Debbie asked, her eyes slowly moving up and down in query of Dora's dressing.

"To Carlos place....I want to go and tell him my mind" Dora said

"Well, hurry and come back fast" Debbie said laughing

"I knowww!!" Dora said and opened the door

"But he really loves you o!!" Debbie teased and Dora slammed the door.

I left immediately, because there was absolutely nothing to say to Debbie since Dora was not around

For the first time in forever, I had a peaceful rest.

___________

(Warning: MATURED SCENE AHEAD)

DAVID'S POV.....

I pulled up by the gate and watched as Zeenat stepped out of the car.

"Bye" she waved

I smiled.....

I made sure she was out of sight and she entered her house.

We just went out with the rest of the guys (Trey, Asher, Zubby, and Austin) and I made it my duty to drop her off at her place.

I  zoomed off immediately back to my boring house. I was very sure that annoying girl, Dami was at home.

My dad was definitely not around, in fact he is never around, he always has business trips all around the world.

He should be in Australia now.....

I didn't care to check if my mom was around, she doesn't care where I go out to anyways.

I went straight to my room and decided to take a shower and sleep. I wasn't hungry, I already ate in Asher's house.

I put on only a blue pajamas shorts as soon as I finished having my bath, then I went to bed, for some reason, it wasn't comfy as usual.

I hated the bed, it was new with the bedsheets, pillow cases and bed cover.

My old bed wasn't even up to two months...

I got a notification on my phone and checked it, Carlos and his dumb party.

Why is everyone talking about it?

I entered the group chat just for ss3 and found out none of them were at the party.

I mean, who in his rightful senses will throw a party on a school day?

SS2 students and their dumb ideas....

I sighed and tried to close my eyes

"Queen is here!" Dami my annoying elder sister said opening the door wide

"Don't you know how to knock?" I yelled

I knew she was at home....

"Awww....I won't tell mom you were masturbating" she said and chewed on the carrot in her hand

Loudly.......

She always put words in my mouth and annoyed the shit out of me

"Jesus! Dami why would you even think I would do that?" I asked her and got out of bed....

I was almost asleep and she came to disturb me. Who even asked Queen to come here?

"Don't worry I'm going, do what you want. But there is a girl downstairs....waiting" she laughed eerily and left

I wonder when she will get married, rather than wearing shorts all around the house and pestering my life up and down

I mean she is of age.....Who's even gonna marry her if she doesn't dress lady like?

I went to the sitting room and found Queen seated comfortably pressing her phone.

She saw me and smiled cheerfully.......

No one knew how I disliked her.

She always behaved like a saint and a very innocent girl in front of my family members, but I knew every deep shit she was into.

"What do you want?" I asked

I really was pissed and stressed out

"A little hi, or welcome will do" she said

"You didn't tell me you were coming" I retorted

"Must I tell you? You are so harsh" she grunted

"What is your phone for?" I asked

"Haven't you heard of surprises?" She fired back

"Not everyone likes surprises...." I replied

"Can we just stop nagging??" She yelled

I rolled my eyes and huffed, she's the one nagging......not me

"Why do you hate me?" She asked trying to fake tears immediately

Wtf!...

"I don't...." I replied

"Then you would have offered a drink or something" she said

"You know the way to the kitchen" I said

"Are you always like this with your friends?" She asked and hit me with her small bag

I shrugged....

She went to the kitchen and brought back two bowls of pop corn and a glass of milk.

I sat down by the edge of the sofa and she put her head on my laps, stretching her long legs to the full length of the sofa..

"Seems like I'm gonna spend the night here"  she said

"Why?" I asked

"The weather is cloudy....it's about to rain" she said smirking

Oh God Nooooo!!

She'll either sleep here in the sitting room or one of the visitors room, most definitely not my room.

"Eat your pop corn!" She said and began to press her phone.

I was focused on the TV, clearly not interested in whatever she was about to say.

"Have you heard Carlos is dating Debbie's sister?" She said drawing circles round my bare chest

"Who is Debbie?" I asked

"The new girl..." She replied

"Ohhh, how did you know?" 

"Jordan is my brother and he is Carlos best friend. Besides, the news is everywhere in school group, Carlos even posted her on his I*******m page" she said and made a weird giggle

There was something else she wanted......

"I thought she had two sisters, which of them?" I asked bringing her senses to the conversation

"One is her step sister" she replied and sat up, legs crossed. "And she is dumb, Carlos won't date a girl he can't annoy"

I raised my brows in amusement, how the hell did she know someone is dumb?

And what is even her business?

I chewed popcorn quietly, allowing her to keep on talking.

"David..." She whimpered

"What?" I asked

"It's cold, please turn off the air conditioner"

I stretched out to the table and picked the remote then I gave it to her

She scoffed "when will you ever act like a gentle guy and be romantic"

I almost choked on the popcorn.....

I will only be a nice guy in the future, but I'm nice to my friends now

"You won't be able to take over your dad's business if you are like this" she continued.

"That's none of your business" I retorted

"It is actually....you'd have to accept that fact sooner or later" she said

Now let me explain that part....

Her dad and my dad are strong powerful and influential business partners, so in other for business to grow and continue, they have arranged our marriage.

Who even does that these days??

This is the part where they think something romantic and sparkly will happen between both of us.....

As the only son and the first daughter

So, Queen has always made that an entitlement and placed herself as an important figure in my life.

When I don't want a chick and I don't want to settle...I want to Just mess around till whenever I find my favorite petal

"Queen....." I interrupted her

"If you wanna fuck, just say it" 

She looked at me, it shouldn't be a surprise to her anymore

She blinked fast three times and held my face

"I want to...badly!" She said in whispers

I patted her head, then hesitated for a while before touching the hem of her blouse...

"David....can't we go to your room or do this somewhere else?" She held my hand

"Not my room..." I said

She stood up and pulled me all the way down to the kitchen....

"You want it here?" I raised my brows in amusement

"It's not like your mom will mind...I've always imagined it" she shrugged

"Alright..." 

I lifted and placed her on the kitchen counter.....

I made sure she felt my bare skin under her palms and she winced in excitement. 

I placed my lips on the base of her neck and she closed her eyes.

Falling her head backwards, giving me better access.

I ran my hand through her hair, slightly turning her head as I kissed along her collarbone. Her hand moved up to my chest and into my hair, then she let out a small moan..

I knew she was all but gone, I didn't waste time to undress her.

As one of my hand worked at undoing her bra, the other was back at the waist of her pant.

Pulling her forward, I glided the thin fabric down her thighs and it fell to the ground. 

Her legs were wrapped around my waist, pulling me to her. Her grip on my hair got tighter as our bodies made contact, I found her small boobs and squeezed.

Our bodies were moving in unision with each other, our hands touching and exploring.....

We enjoyed it for the time it lasted........

Still in David's POV....

(FRIDAY)

I was late on purpose today, Queen left  my house very early this morning. She was already in school before I came.

In fact, I came when it was almost break time and even though the teachers that saw me were not happy with me, there was nothing they could do about it.

Except one witch.......Mrs Henrietta! 

She was after my life and she was too nosy.

She always found a way to report almost all my classmates to the principal.

The moment she called out my name, I knew she had already carried out her evil plan....

I turned to look at her

"The principal is waiting for you" she said in her tiny voice and slowly cat walked passed me.

Who even married this kind of lady?

I went to the principal's office and took my seat.

He adjusted his prof glasses and turned his chair to look at me.

"David, you are very late. What are you teaching the junior students? Why are you this late? Do you want a detention after school?"

I knew he wasn't going to sanction me for any of my actions, If not he will answer to my mom.

I gave him my most intimidating look and spoke

"I drove my sister to the airport today. She couldn't miss her flight" I lied

"Well, it's OK. But next time call the school" he said

"Okay" 

"You can go now" he said.

I hung my school bag only on my left shoulder and put my other hand in my pocket and brushed Mrs Henrietta's side on purpose, before heading to class.

The class was noisy and crowded with extra students from ss2 kneeling by Queen's desk 

I appreciated the fact that she didn't look at me today, seems like she was really upset.

It became quiet when I entered and I went to take my seat.

"We thought you won't come today" Trey said

"Check your phone" Austin said and started eating meatpie.......this early morning

I took my phone out of my pocket and checked it as Austin said

74 missed calls since last night from five of them......

Was I kidnapped?? Am I dead or something?

"What happened?" Asher asked me

"Nothing....just felt like being late today" I replied

"I was worried, you didn't even chat up anyone throughout last night till this morning" Zeenat said

She was sitting by my left side, so I dragged her close and put my arms on my shoulder.

She pouted and I smiled

"What's going on with Queen and those guys?" I asked

"Interrogation about their lame party" Trey replied

Two girls from ss2 came in and Queen stopped pressing her phone to talk to them, the ones kneeling down were already terrified and tired.....

I don't know why she inflicted pain on the junior students and they were so scared of her.

"What's your name?" Queen asked one of the girls that just came in

"Dora Peter" the girl replied

"Oh! So you are the Dora that is trending on the school's blog" Lisa said

"I have no idea what you are talking about" Dora replied

"You kissed Carlos??" Rose asked with her small voice

"Excuse me.....He kissed me, I was way too tipsy and he took advantage of that" Dora replied

Trina left the class immediately, I looked round and noticed Debbie too with Sharon were not in the class.

"Mind your tone young lady" Queen ordered

"You're not my mom" Dora rolled her eyes

"It's like you don't know who you are talking to. You are very insultive and stubborn" Lisa said

"You're the one shouting" Dora replied

Queen stood up and gave her a slap that made everyone shock.

"Kneel!" she ordered

But Dora sighed, she wasn't ready to obey Queen. In fact she chuckled and stared at Queen directly in her eye. 

Something none of our junior students have ever done.....interesting

Queen felt so insulted and Lisa was the most furious. I don't even know why they are bothering themselves so much for a party that isn't theirs.

"What's these girl's problem? It's not as if they are dating the Carlos o" Zeenat said and hissed

"Queen! Queen! Queen! Come.....you need to see this" Trey said coming into class with much speed and lot of joy

"When did he leave his seat to go out?" I muttered

"The moment Trina left" Asher replied

Almost half of the class went out and came back to call Queen out...

Trey came back to his seat behind me and started explaining what's going on

"Do you know that Debbie asked Lily to crawl from her class to our class?" Trey asked

"The untouchable Lily?" Zee asked

"Yes o" he replied

"Why" Austin asked

"Dora is her younger sister na...." Trey answered

"Who even told her that Queen wants to punish Dora?" Zee asked

"Must be Trina" Asher replied

"Debbie doesn't know who she dealing with or what Queen can do...." Trey said

"Who is Queen?" Zee asked and rolled her eyes

Only God knows what transpired between them outside because Debbie and Sharon walked in with full force and tried to take Dora and the other girl out of the class.

"You had no right whatsoever to punish my sister without a reason" Queen said furiously barging into the class with Lily already soaked in tears....

"Look who's talking about right" Sharon said

"So on what grounds are you punishing my own sister?" Debbie asked

"I don't owe you an explanation, so now apologize!" Queen ordered and silence was in the air.

Everyone's gaze was on Debbie doubting if she will really apologize to Lily

It was getting intense and I was loving the drama before Asher decided to mess things up

"Head boy, interfere....." He told Zubby

"Yes, do something" Austin said with his mouth full of potato chips

Wasn't it just a few minutes ago he was with meatpie?

There was noise again as Queen's crew and Debbie's crew started arguing

Girls....

Zubby went closer to their desk and tried talking to them, but no one was listening, it got me pissed off.

He was too calm, I hated it when he or any of my friends are being disrespected

I stood up and went to the front of the classroom with Asher.

"Enough!" I said and they all turned to look at me

"Aren't you girls sick and tired of this unnecessary bullshit?" I asked

"Hey and all of you...." I said pointing at all of the juniors

"Scram!!" I ordered and they didn't waste time to leave our class

All apart from Lily Queen had been holding like a golden egg.

She trembled as I looked at her and she looked up with teary eyes to Queen.

"Lily, don't worry go to your class" Queen told her and she left immediately

"Oya if una wan fight, make una fight clear doubt" Trey shouted to Queen and Debbie which caused laughter and murmuring in the class.

"I'm warning you" Queen said 

"I'm warning you too" Debbie said more furious than Queen and she left the class immediately, because it was break time.

I found my way out of class to get to the special place I do hang out with my friends during school hours and break time.

The junior students called it the Den!! Because it was like a mouse trap, once you enter, you're finished.

I don't mean it's structure is like a literal mouse trap, I'm saying none of them wants to come across any random senior, let alone me, Asher and Trey

Even though Austin is nice, he doesn't take shit!

I was walking down the hallway then I saw Debbie holding up her sisters by the locker.

She pulled Dora by the ear and nagged her for responding to Queen, then she slapped the other girl and yelled

"Stay out of trouble!! I don't ever want to see you in my class again!"

I wasn't quite pleased with her display of seniority, I thought it was helpful to give her a word or two.

"Don't go there David, it's none of your business" Austin said and stopped me right on tracks

I hated when he talked to me because I would listen sometimes.

He is my uncle, my dad's youngest brother. He is just a month older than I am, so sometimes he uses that against me. 

Because even my mom will support him whenever he tables a matter to her.

"Don't shout at me" I told him and kept on moving, before I heard my name from the last person I wanted to hear it from....

"David wait up!!" Queen said and held my shoulder

I stopped....

"Can we talk?" She asked

"Go on" I replied

"In the school garden" she urged and Zeenat coughed beside me

Queen looked at her with anger and she looked back with irritation...

Both of them have never gotten along since the beginning of forever

"David, you know we have things to do...." Zeenat said

"I'm not going to take much of your time" Queen told me

And I wasn't ready for both of them

"C'mon Zee, let's go. David will catch up with us later on" Austin said and dragged her away from Queen and I

"After you" I told Queen and she led the way to the garde

We took our seats in one of the long iron benches near the orange tree...

"Aren't you going to say anything to me from last night" she asked 

"Like what?" 

"I don't know....just anything"

"No"

"Wh......"

"Deal with it!" I cut her shut

"What? You can't be serious"

"Do not spoil my break for me" I said and she felt more upset than ever

She swallowed hard "well, we are having dinner at your place on Sunday evening" she tried to explain

"None of my business" I responded and got up from the seat

"David!......." She cried out behind me

I didn't bother to look back, I disliked her so I did everything to keep her away.

"Sooooooo, what have you guys been talking about for the past two years?" Zeenat asked immediately I entered our personal hangout.

She was lying down on Zubby's leg and eating coco pops...

"Jeez! Zee stop acting like a nosy girlfriend" Austin told her, He was with chips and hollandia...

Why does this guy eat like this and where the heck does all the food enter?

"We talked about a few stuffs...." I said

"Ohhhh....like plans for your future wedding?" She asked sarcastically and sat up, rolling her eyes

They all laughed apart from Trey, I wasn't pleased with that either, I hated it when any of them brought up any issue about Queen.

Trey was furiously pressing his phone and out of this world. 

Whenever he's like that, it's either he is having an argument with one of his girlfriends or he didn't get exactly what he ordered for.

"What's up with you?" I asked him.

"Konga" he replied and Zee burst out laughing loud

"You seriously ordered the sneakers from Konga...." She said inbetween breaths

"Like bro....what happened to Jumia?" Austin asked

"There's nothing bad in trying something new" Trey shrugged

"Guysss......guess what?" Asher interrupted everyone

"What?!" We chorused

"Tomorrow is Zubby and Sharon's anniversary" he said

"I was gonna tell you guys myself" Zubby muttered....blushing

"Where una dey see this love na?" Zee said struggling with Austin because he tried to eat her donut

I scoffed "their love is boring" 

"I swearrr....so boring" Trey agreed with me

"Shut up both of you. You both can't settle with one woman, that's why you think that love is boring" Zeenat said

"Says the girl that bluntly refused to have a boyfriend" Trey attacked back in annoyance

"Don't blame me, you boys won't even allow me to date anyone. You'll be acting as if I'm your younger sister" Zee said

"See how she's talking as if she likes any of those guys that asked her out" Austin fired back

"Zubby, where are you taking Sharon to?" I asked 

"There's a new restaurant she's curious to try out, so we are going there" Zubby replied

"So no cold stone for us tomorrow" Austin asked and became sober

"I don't understand, is it you Zubby is going on a date with?" Zee asked and hissed

"Tell her to come with Trina and Debbie" Trey said

"Why?" Zubby asked curiously

"Well, when you are having your fun private time with Sharon, Austin and I have decided to be with Trina and Debbie" Trey explained

"When?" Austin asked and we laughed

Trey looked at him like he wanted to punch him hard on the groins.

"So, it's like a triple date or what?" Zee asked

"No, not a triple date. Zubby and Sharon will be far away from us, we will just hang out in somewhere else" Trey said

"I don't trust that, so I'm coming" Asher said and smiled

"Me too" Zee said
