Different Worlds

Chapter Fifty-five

"I'm not. I wouldn't joke with something like that" He was completely serious. There were no traces of mischief in his eyes.

The Jamb total score was 400 with a general cut-off of 180 and I scored a 295 amidst the whole court issue.

"Thank you, Jesus" I said against my clasped palms.

"Yesss" I shouted excitedly and gave Noah another hug

"I'm so proud of you" he said

"What happen, mummy?" Zozo tapped on my thigh

I pulled away from Noah and picked Zozo up. "Mummy's going back to school"

She had a look of initial confusion but then a wide grin appeared on her face. I could imagine her thinking 'why is this woman excited to go to school but imma be happy for her regardless'.

I placed her back on the ground and happily skipped out of the room to see my result for myself.

I caught myself smiling in the mirror at that memory. A knock on the door came through before it opened to reveal Noah.

He was also dressed in a native navy blue attire. It was a long sleeved shirt like top, it wasn't a complete shirt because it didn't have a collar or lapel but it had two buttons going down from the neck and then it flowed down like a t-short would. The top was adorned with moderately elaborate silver cuff links at the neck and wrist and it came down to his knee having open slits at each side. He had his left hand stuffed in the pocket of his matching trousers and the right had an expensive silver Rolex watch on it.

"Are you ready to go?" He asked as he stepped in.

"Almost" I gestured to my matching Gele (fashionable head scarf) on the bed.

I already had a light makeup done and my accessories were on their respective positions on my body. I was just missing my head scarf and shoes.

I ran my eyes over him. He looked dashing in the native attire even without shoes on. He just had black ankle socks on his feet.

"You look rather ravishing in this outfit" I said as I walked over to him.

"I don't think I've ever seen you in a native wear before" I said and placed my hands on his shoulders and made to smoothen out invisible creases.

"I don't really wear them" he said as he wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me closer.

"My mom had so many of them sewn but I never had the opportunity to wear them till today" he said. "You were going native so I decided to match you" he said

"I like it" I pointed out. "You look nice"

My eyes trailed over his smooth beautiful face, from his somewhat full eyebrows down to his lovely shaped lips. My eyes lingered on his lips for a while before returning to his alluring light grey eyes. He had a mischievous glint in his eyes as soon as he noticed the little lingering action.

"Do I?" he teased

"You do" I placed a chaste kiss on his lips, then quickly wiped off the imprint of my lip gloss on his lips.

"Damn" he smiled. "If I knew wearing native wears got you this way, I would've done that a long time ago"

I chuckled and playfully hit his shoulder before pulling away.

"So, you're not even going to compliment my dress" I said jocosely, placing my hands on my hips.

"I was going to but then you started looking at me like I was a tall glass of water in the middle of the desert" he said
