Chapter four

"Dinner is served." I informed, watching over her from my shoulder as I settled the plates of food on the dinning table. I didn't need to raise my voice because I had a deep voice.

"Awwww, that's so sweet. I'm coming." Bolu said from the sitting room where she was watching Telenovela. She was putting on the pajamas I had lend her and sipping the coffee she had made.

I replied her with a firm nod, took a seat and waited for her.

She stood up moments later, and made her way towards the dinning room. She looked really cute in my wine coloured satin pajamas, with her artificial bone straight waist length hair. I couldn't help but admire her that moment as my gaze slid up her body. She was a real beauty.

"What did you prepare, Al?" She asked, hastily grabbing a fork, as she balanced on the chair opposite me.

"See for yourself." I nodded towards where the plate of food sat.

She rolled her eyes, took the lid off the plate. And her eyes nearly pulled out their pockets when she saw the food.

I smiled, a genuine smile this time.

"Wow, spaghetti and beef sauce." She abruptly twirl the fork on the meal, took a mouthful into her mouth and chewed "It's delicious." She complimented after a mouthful, looked up at me, and then flashed me a grin. "Guess I'll start spending my nights here to always have this treat. You're such a good cook, Al." She sounded so sincere.

"Thanks." I said picking up my fork and resumed eating.

And that had been that. We ate in silence and I was grateful Bolu didn't speak until we were done eating. She was the polar opposite of what she was at the club.

I carried the plates into the kitchen, wiped the remnants of the food and dumped the plates into the dish washer.

When I returned to the sitting room, Bolu wasn't there and the tv was switched off. I had a feeling she was in my room and I was right when I went there. She was sitting on the bed waiting for me.

I sighed as I watched her, extremely cautious that she wanted me to sleep on the bed with her, and possibly give me a boner so we'd end up having sex.

"Come to bed, Al." She attempted to look miserable, but failed.

I ignored her, then went about brushing my teeth in the bathroom. When I was done, I stayed in for a while, hoping she'd fall asleep. But I was wrong, she was still awake, waiting for me.

"Come to bed, Al. It's late." She laid her hand on her cheek, then drowsily casted a worried glanced at me. She must've been battling with sleep.

"I..uh, I'm gonna go prepare for tomorrow. No sleeping tonight." I replied.

"Huh? So you're gonna tell me you don't sleep whenever you have a case?" Her lips curved upward as she questioned, raising a brow.

"Yes. Night." I replied firmly, not wanting more questions. I headed out of the room before she could utter any more words.
