"Another party last night?" He asked as he walked into her room.
"I shut that place down last night."
"As you should." He mocked.
"Okay... don't even use that tone."
"Fine."
"Speaking of parties, we're hosting one on the 18th, that's in a few days' time, it's an end of stress party and it's not themed." She shrugged.
"She'd be so excited to see you." Christy said to Jeffrey. "I hope so." They alighted from the car together before walking into the house, hand in hand. Rose was vacuuming the center rug as they walked in. She looked up at the intruders. "Mum, Dad!" She screamed as she ran to embrace the duo. Her father had open arms waiting for her. "I missed you dad." She said as she wrapped her arms around her father. "I missed you too Rosie."
"The cruise was really nice. Thanks for bringing me along." She told him as they laid on the bed in the suite. "You're welcome, besides the pleasure's all mine." "So we'd have to return back home?" "We can decide not to." He smirked. "Why?" "I could book us a few extra days or a week to have fun. That's if you want to, I can go ahead and cancel it if it doesn't please you." "It's the best idea I've heard all day." She grinned. "Really?" "Yeah!" She grinned as
"We're really not going to speak to each other?" Dennis asked and she ignored as she slid her earphones on. "I guess that's a no then." He sighed as he took a seat next to her for the journey back to Lagos. He reached for her hand. "Don't you dare." She mumbled and he almost retracted it. He took the bold step and went in again this time, actually holding her left hand as she stared outside the window. She laid her head on the headrest and slipped her phone into her cross body bag. Halfway into the trip, she was knocked out, slow, gentle music played in her ears. In her state of sleep, she intertwined their joint hands, oblivious to what she did. He gave a gentle smile as he stared at her subcons
"I'll miss you." "I'll miss you too." She replied. "Ruby, do you have to go?" "Yeah, I'm going to spend Christmas with my cousin and little brother alongside my grandma." "I know." "And apparently my mum texted saying she had a Christmas dinner planned. I don't know what she has up her sleeve." "I know." "Aren't you going home?" "No... I'm not." He gave a small smile. "You'd be all alone here?"
"What went wrong?" Attracta asked Ruby. "Just some bullshit about bringing the family back together, under one roof and all." She looked really pissed off. "Calm down babe." Attracta turned the corner. "I'm just so angry." She commented. "Look, it's okay. We're home now." "Thanks Attracta." "It's okay, I have to take that car back, I'll tell Cas to pick me up. Just stay sane for me babe." She smiled and Ruby acknowledged her. "Thanks cousin." "You're welcome." 
"Christmas breakfast is going to be nice as hell." Cas grinned as he mixed the pancake batter. "Yes for those who didn't stay up late at night wrapping presents." Ruby yawned. "Preach girl." Attracta rubbed her eyes as she grabbed some creamer for her coffee. "Hey guys. Merry Christmas." Ryan said as he descended the stairs. "Merry Christmas." They chorused back. "Merry Christmas guys." Zizi burst through the doors. "Zizi!" Attracta pulled him into a hug. "Hey bro." He shook hands with Cas as he dropped off the presents under
The holidays were over and school was in session. The mid semester examinations were in three weeks and Attracta was in an Uber on her way home from the airport. She walked into the house to find Dennis who looked like he's just arrived too. "Hi." "Hey." She replied. "Happy new year." He gave a tight smile. "Same to you." She pulled her suitcase behind her. "I wanted to talk to you." "Alright." She left the suitcase, ready to listen to him. "I wanted to ask if you're still cool with living with me and if you're not, I could g
Exams were right around the corner and Attracta pulled herself together, right on track for her exams. Yetty was coming over for a study sleepover for their exams in the next two days. "Hey." Yetty showed up at the house. "Hi, come in, you're just in time for dinner. "Thanks." Yetty said as they walked towards the dinning table. "Hey." She smiled at Dennis. "Hey Yetty." He gave a small awkward smile. "How was your day?" "Great." He smiled and she blushed slightly flashing her pearly whites. Yetty was a really beautiful lady.
