Ibukun squeezed Lashe’s hands and he smiled as they walked and crossed the streets.
“Where are we going?” Ibukun asked.
“To watch a movie” Lashe replied and Ibukun turned to him in surprise.
“A movie?” Ibukun asked and Lashe nodded as he brought out his phone. I ordered the tickets online.
“Which movie is that?” Ibukun asked.
“An American teen movie” Lashe replied as Ibukun nodded.
“What’s the title?” Ibukun asked.
“Sleep over” Lashe replied and Ibukun turned to Lashe in surprise.
“I saw the trailer and even wanted to download it” Ibukun exclaimed in surprise and Lashe looked at her in surprise.
“Really?” he asked and Ibukun nodded.
“Yes. I’ve been wanting to download it” Ibukun replied and Lashe smiled.
“That’s nice then” Lashe said as they started walking towards the cinema while talking.
The cinema hose was pretty crowded and it gave both Ibukun and Lashe the chance to blend into the crowd without getting cau
Lashe’s phone rang twice and he didn’t pick it. Ibukun decided to call once more and if he didn’t pick the call, she was going to send him a message to tell him that she was home. She dialled the number again and just as the call was about to end, he picked it.“Hello Lashe” Ibukun said sweetly.“Hello”Ibukun froze upon hearing the older voice and instantly recognised it before smiling.“Uncle Sam, good evening” Ibukun greeted.“Is it evening now? It’s past 8pm young lady” Uncle Sam replied in a cold tone and Ibukun froze before swallowing her saliva.“Please, can you give the phone to Lashe, I have a few things to tell him” Ibukun said slowly, her voice low. She could tell that Uncle Sam wasn’t in a good mood.“Didn’t you just see him a few minutes ago? What is it that you want to tell him again?” Uncle Sam asked harshly and Ibukun swallowed her saliva not able to say anything.“Do you want to ruin his career? Do you hate him that mu
“Lashe, are you done?” Uncle Sam and for some reason he felt weird and uncomfortable with the way Lashe was looking at him.“Uncle Sam, who were you speaking with just now?” Lashe asked and Uncle Sam swallowed his saliva and sighed.“I said who did you just speak to just now?!” Lashe yelled that startled Uncle Sam who also took a firm stance.“I cut off every distraction” Uncle Sam replied and Lashe narrowed his eyes.“You did what?” Lashe asked.“I said I cut off every distraction” Uncle Sam replied and Lashe raised an eyebrow.“Okay. Don’t tell me it was just Ibukunoluwa you were talking to just now right?” Lashe asked as Uncle Sam sighed.“It was her. Lashe; she’s distracting you and you need to focus on your career right now” Uncle Sam replied and Lashe turned to him anger seeping into his veins.“Did you just say she’s a distraction? Since when did you start to judge and know what’s a distraction or not?” Lashe asked as Uncle Sam
Ibukun ran downstairs and snapped the door open, her heart slamming in her chest. She would recognise that figure anywhere, any day, anytime. She refused to believe that he had actually came to her house.She ran into the rain and found him standing in the rain drenched, his puffy eyes showed that he had cried and Ibukun tried to wipe her tears as he walked closer to her.He smiled a little as he rubbed her head ignoring the sibling audience standing by the door. He swallowed his saliva as he stared at Ibukun.“Did I come late?” Lashe asked slowly and Ibukun shook her head as she managed a smile.She had no idea what Lashe was there for. She had no idea which he would choose between her and his career.“I was in the shower when you called” Lashe started slowly and Ibukun swallowed her saliva, her anxiety building up every second as Lashe continued to keep his silence.“Ignore everything Uncle Sam said to you. I want you to pretend like you didn’t
“When did all this start? Why didn’t you tell me anything?” Tolu asked and Ibukun shrugged.“I didn’t tell anyone. I wanted to keep it a secret. Do you think it would be interesting to tell someone else that I had fallen in love with a teen celebrity that took me nothing more than a friend? It doesn’t sound every nice” Ibukun replied and Tolu rolled her eyes.“Anyone? How did Sister Tosinmile know about this then?” Tolu asked and Ibukun frowned.“What’s with that tone? Sister Tosinmile found out herself, I didn’t tell her anything. You know it’s useless to hide anything from her” Ibukun said and Tolu sighed.“I thought we were the closest and this kind of thing happened and it had even been happening for a long time and you didn’t deem it fit to tell me. I felt bad” Tolu said and Ibukun sighed.“I’m sorry” Ibukun said and Tolu nodded with a smile and Ibukun turned to see Lashe coming to dressed in a white jalamia that covered his toes and his sneakers.
Fikayo peered at Ibukun’s face closely and Ibukun pushed her face away immediately.“What is it?” Ibukun asked with a smile.“Your face looks exceptionally bright today. What happened on your date yesterday?” Fikayo asked and Ibukun rolled her eyes.“Who said I went for a date yesterday?” Ibukun asked and Blessing scoffed.“Did you go and greet your ancestors then?” Blessing asked and the trio burst into laughter immediately.“I did not go for a date. I just went somewhere with a friend” Ibukun replied and Fikayo yawned.“Girl, your lies are getting boring. Say something interesting” Fikayo said as some guys strode into their class with a horde of students following them and giggling.“What’s doing these people?” Fikayo asked and wore a blank look when she noticed that the group of guys were walking towards her.“What’s Deji doing in our class?” Blessing asked as an extremely handsome guy walked up to the trio and slid his hands into h
The moment Ibukun walked into the class, Blessing and Fikayo rushed towards her with shocked faces.“What did you do Ibukun?” Fikayo asked and Ibukun sighed.“I rejected him okay. You already know what happened, stop pestering me” Ibukun replied as she walked to her seat with everyone’s eyes on her.“Why?” Fikayo asked as she placed her hands on her forehead before turning back to Ibukun.“Do you even know who asked you out?” Blessing asked and Ibukun rolled her eyes.“Everyone is talking about how self-conceited you are. They said that he liked you for four years and you didn’t even take that into consideration and rejected him” Fikayo said and Ibukun sighed.“That was expected” Ibukun said and Fikayo scoffed.“Really? Why did you reject him by the way? Did you have to tell a lie that you have a boyfriend?” Fikayo asked and Ibukun scoffed as well.“And who told you that it’s a lie?” Ibukun asked as Blessing and Fikayo’s eyes widened.
“With the way you itch to hear gossip; I think you should have been born a girl” Ibukun replied as she pushed his head away. Juwon pouted as he adjusted himself on the armchair.“You can’t even share small juicy gossip” Juwon complained and Ibukun rolled her eyes.“Thankfully, you’ll be back to where you came from by Wednesday, I don’t think I can stand you any longer” Ibukun said and Juwon scoffed.“Don’t think I want to stay here as well” Juwon also retorted and Ibukun hissed.“Mister, you haven’t told me why you kept yelling my name” Ibukun said and Juwon slowly sat up on the armchair.“Actually, I was bored so I wanted you to join me” Juwon replied as Ibukun turned to him her jaw open.“Oluwajuwonlo!” Ibukun exclaimed before she shot out of her seat to grab Juwon but the latter was faster than her and he skilfully jumped over the armchair and burst into a race.“You are so dead” Ibukun yelled after him as she chased after him hotly.
“Do you have a reservation?” she asked as scanned the both of them. both looked exquisite and sophisticated. One of them was covered from head to toe while the other looked around curiously.“Yes. I made it online” Lashe replied slowly as he showed the waiter his phone. The waiter checked his phone and her eyes widened.These young teens had a freaking reservation! That wasn’t the point, they had booked a private room!She instantly wore her best smile and bowed a little at the both of them “Pardon me, I’ll take you to your private room now” she said and Lashe nodded as he held Ibukun and they followed the waitress as she led them into the elevator. They stopped at the third floor and she led them to a room.“This is your reservation” she said and Ibukun gave her a small smile.“Thank you” she said as she opened the door and pulled Lashe inside.The waitress wiped off imaginary beads of sweat off her forehead. She almost asked them if they really
