“To spare you guys the long story. I visited Tolu at school and guess who I met?” Ibukun said and Fikayo and Blessing’s eyes widened.
Fikayo’s hands went to her mouth “Don’t tell me you met Lashe?” she asked slowly and Ibukun nodded a big smile still on her face.
Fikayo gave a loud shriek and Blessing soon joined and everyone looked at them in confusion. Fikayo kept looking around with her mouth open.
“Err…. Fikayo, keep your mouth closed” Ibukun said and the girls burst into laughter.

Fikayo adjusted the powder on her face as they walked out of the class. Ibukun checked her wristwatch and squinted at the amount of sun rays attempting to enter her eyes.“Almost everyone is going” Blessing said as they walked into the bus.“It’s unusual for Lashe to schedule his concerts in the evening what do you think caused it?” Fikayo asked and Ibukun shrugged.“He’s in university now. He has to manage his time and his lecture time varies as well; this time might be when he has time or the most convenient” Ibukun replied and Fikayo smiled.“Sometimes they way you talk about him makes me think like you are in his head” Fikayo said and Blessing burst into laughter while Ibukun smiled and looked outside the bus window as the bus began to move.The event centre was filled to brim and students in different uniforms dominated the places.

People that blow like you, your popularity will die quickly” Fikayo said and Ibukun turned to her, her mouth open.“Are you cursing me?” Ibukun asked and Fikayo maintained her stoic face.“No, I’m not. I’m just stating facts” Fikayo replied and Blessing smacked Fikayo on her laps.“Babe, what’s your problem nah?” Fikayo asked displeased.“Ibukun, don’t mind Fikayo o.

Tolu turned to her saviour and got a better look at his features. He was chocolate complexion with brown eyes hidden behind his glasses. He had a rather straight nose and high cheekbones. He was attractive even with his glasses that gave him the vibe of a professor. He had a straight and lean body but Tolu knew he was strong. He was cloaked in black pants and a shirt tucked roughly in but yet extremely attractive.He slipped one of his hands into his pockets and Tolu’s eyes returned back to his face. He was handsome. So handsome that Tolu found out that she couldn’t peel her eyes off him. The guy raised an eyebrow at her that brought her back to her senses.Tolu awkwardly coughed inwardly cursing for her extremely light complexion that made her embarrassment so obvious. She threw her head sideways trying to regain and composure and didn’t see the small smile that crawled up the guy’s face. Tolu swallowed her saliva as she turned to him.“Thank you for that. How wil

Ibukun looked at her room as she ran her hands through her hair for the hundredth time. It was still early on Saturday morning but Ibukun’s always neat and tidy room was in a mess. Clothes were scattered on top of each other, some were on the floor, a lot more on the floor.Ibukun groaned as she threw her head backwards. Why couldn’t she just find the perfect cloth to wear? The door opened and Tosinmile stepped inside the room.“Christ Jesus, what happened in here?” Tosinmile asked and Ibukun turned to her with a pout.“I can’t find a cloth for my meeting with Lashe” Ibukun replied and Tosinmile burst into laughter.“You can’t find a cloth to wear from this huge wardrobe?” Tosinmile asked in horror and Ibukun rolled her eyes.“I am meeting with Lashe so I have to look my best.

Thank you. thank you so much” Lashe said and Ibukun nodded with a pout.“I just answered her questions. I did nothing more than that” Ibukun replied and Lashe chuckled.“I’m a person of few words that’s why I don’t know how to express myself but I am really, really, really grateful. Your interview helped me secure a contract I didn’t even think I was gonna get” Lashe said and Ibukun’s eyes sparkled.“Really?” Ibukun asked and Lashe nodded.“Yeah” Lashe replied with a smile.Ibukun already knew long ago that Lashe was not a person of many words.
