Osas P.o.v

"I can't believe that just happened." We were all on the couch.

"Why did you stop me?." Micheal asked.

"You hitting a woman makes you less a man and she's still my sister." I said.

"She's right Michael but still she deserved a hot slap."

"You still slapped her."

She chuckled." And it felt good doing that."

"I don't really blame her for her reaction."

"What do you mean Osas ?" Micheal

"When she was leaving she said something about Rasaq. Maybe she still feels-"

"Is that why she should behave like that. The Rasaq had said he's over you she should get over it too."Ruth rose. " I'm going to go cook dinner.I will leave you two alone." She winked at me as she strutted away.

"How is you face?." Micheal held the cheek that Ola had slapped.

"It's fine." I said.

"I shouldn't have allowed her to slap you." He sighed.

He looked a bit down. I nudged him. " I said it fine and it's not as if your strong sef."

He smirked." Your boyfriend, not strong?" He pulled me into his arms and began to tickle me.

"St..stop Michael (laughter) I'm tick..l(more laughter). I'm ticklish."

"I'm really sorry." He said softly.

I glanced up at him." You look cute when your sad." I smiled.

"And you look cute when you smile." He kissed me softly.

His hands trailed to my breast and gave it a playful squeeze.

"Sorry."

We broke apart.

"Oh, hi Nonso." I said as I adjusted my cloth.

I tried to shift away but Michael held me on my shoulder protectively.

"Sorry for interrupting you both. I just wanted to ask how You were doing."

"Thanks for Ola." Michael said.

"No big deal there." There was an awkward silence." So I'll see you later then." He smiled at me but it looked a bit sad.

"Where were we?." Micheal crooned as he held my waist.

"I'm coming." I broke apart from him." I want to check on Nonso."

He tilted his head." Why?".

"He seemed he had something important to tell me."

He hummed." Does Nonso like you?".

"Nonso like me ?." I laughed." He has someone his in love with."

"He told you that?"

"Yeah." I pecked him on his lips and rose." I'll be back".

Nonso was sitting under the shade seil.

"Hey you." I sat opposite him.

He looked surprised to see me." Why did you leave Michael."

"You looked like you had something important to tell me."

"I just wanted to find out how you were doing but seeing you and Michael, I think I got my answer."

I felt my cheeks grow warm." Yeah." I smiled." Michael asked whether you liked me. Funny right. I told him you are in love with another lady. isn't that right?."
