48. WATCH YOUR BACK
As she sat on the chair, her mind drifted back to Aisha.
Something wasn't right about her or was she the one thinking of different things? She picked the first file and went through it.
She heaved a sigh as she glanced at the files, her phone rang. She fumbled her hand in her bag to bring the phone out.
She picked the call. "Ademide, how are you?" She smiled.
"Ben, I'm fine." She mumbled from the other side.
"Where are you?" She asked since it was a school day and she was calling that early.
"I'm at home." She told Ben.
"But why?" She inquired. "Why didn't you go to school?"
"Today is teacher's day Ben, we don't go to school on teacher's day." She told her sister.
"Ooh, that's true." She reminisced back to when she was in secondary school, they always stay back at home on days like that. "What are you up to this morning?"

He changed his mind when she shot him a glare."Something like what?" She asked again, almost regretting why she asked him what to offer - she wasn't ready to cook yet, but she'd cook anyway if he demanded for food."You always ask if I've eaten or not." He smiled sheepishly. "I haven't had anything to eat since yesterday cos I was anticipating today, I want to eat in your house." He said."What do you want to eat?"
