Chapter 3

“Yo” 

“Hello who’s this?” I mumbled sleepily

“It’s Olu, wake up man I’m coming over yours in abit okay?”

“How long is a bit?” I questioned wanting to squeeze in an extra hour of sleep

“Well, I’ve just dropped something off at Michael’s so in about 20 minutes, is that alright?”

“Mhmmmm” I mumbled reluctantly getting out of bed

“Alright, can you put some rice on the cooker for me?” He asked

“Fuck right off” I said laughing before kissing my teeth

“Love you too babes” He said before locking the phone

12:57pm 

I headed to the bathroom wanting to freshen up a bit, wincing at the sight of my reflection in the mirror, I actually never learned my lesson... why I chose not wrap my hair before sleeping and then complain about my edges and leave-out repeatedly in the morning I would never know, I splodged a dab of pink lotion in my hands before thoroughly moisturising my leave out and taming my edges, wrapping the front up with one my silk scarfs Olu or no Olu this look would have to remain for a few hours.

“I’m outside now” Olu texted

I skipped down the stairs and went over to open the door for Olu, he was standing there in his Ralph tracksuit bottoms with a matching hoodie

“What’s good?” He pulled me in for a quick hug before walking in removing his shoes “Where’s Micah?” he said making his way into the kitchen

“Out probably” I followed him into the kitchen

“Where’s my rice at?” He turned to me, giving me a slow screw

“Up my bum” I tried to walk off but he grabbed me back making me squeal

“Nah, you’re not getting away that easily, do you know what time I woke up, swear man hasn’t ate food for almost 17 hours uno”

“Alright get off of me and I’ll get you something to eat” I said wriggling my wrists free from him laughing

I walked over to the fridge and pulled out a Rustlers burger before turning towards Olu who was now sitting on the dining chair on his phone; his face looked concentrated for a while

“Here” I said sliding the packet on the table

He looked up to see the Rustlers burger in front of him, his eyes gleaming “ah, thanks babes haven’t had this in time” He removed the packaging and put the burger on a plate before warming it up in the microwave

“So you deffo coming tonight?” He looked up from his phone

“Mhmm, I guess so, no harm in living a little I guess?”

“That’s what I like to hear, you’ll have a good time man, I guarantee it”

“I better” I said taking a sip from my water bottle sitting nearby

“What time you getting ready?”  He took out the burger from the microwave and began munching it

“Whatever time Asia gets here, what about you?”

“Rah, you need all the time in the world then, and about 6, we’re taking the car do you want us to come and get you?”

“Us?”

“Yeah, us lot, we’ll pick you guys up... you’ll both have to squeeze yourself in though”

“Yeah alright, just text us when you’re getting ready then” I said after a while
