It All Started With A DM....

Chapter 26 💟

I had earlier texted him the address of the hotel and when he called to tell me he was waiting for me, I quickly went to meet him..

"aunty, good afternoon "

It was the hotel's gateman. He took a liking to Fisayo and I because Fisayo always gave him some money, just to be nice.

" good afternoon Yinka" I said as I checked my bag for some change.
I brought out N500 and handed it to him.

"ahhh, thank you aunty, is that brother Fisayo " he asked as he stretched his neck to see who was in the car.

I smile at him, " no, it's not him "

With that, I entered the car.

The ride to wherever it was we were going to was a slow and boring one. After I greeted him and got settled, he didn't say a word to me.

I was beginning to regret why I came to see this dumb man.

We got to our destination.
We both got down and while he led the way, I found myself holding his arm. It was actually an innocent habit. I was fond of holding onto people's arm.

Timi didn't tell me we were going for an house party and again, I didn't expect an house party to be crowded the way it was.

As I held him, he looked down at me and when I saw the twinkle in his eyes, I quickly let go.

I allowed him lead the way while I followed closely, pulling my bag on the floor.

He introduced me to many of his friends and every one of them complimented me.

'fine girl'

"beautiful angel

'you're the cutest thing that has entered the place "

" yen yen yen"

"can you stop doing that? " Timi spat at me after we were away from his friends. This was like the first thing he said to me since he picked me from the hotel.

" just when I was beginning to enjoy the silence, you just had to talk... I thought you lost your tongue sef " I rolled my eyes.

He frowned and clenched his fists probably wondering why he chose to take me out in the first place, I was also thinking the same, why did I choose to go out with him in the first place.

" I don't have the time for your silliness, just stop dragging your bag, there's no manner in that " he growled.

My eyes shone in anger as I dropped my bag "oh now, I am one mannerless pig? "

" I didn't say that pumpkin but since you said it, I'm fine with that " he smirked as he reached out to pick up my bag, he shoved it in my hands.

I was beyond furious, he smiled at me and walked away.
I didn't want to be around him but I had no choice, I had to follow him.

Timi was able to secure a place for us to sit and when he was looking away, some guys were staring at me, some winked, some smiled, some waved.

I wasn't comfortable with the whole thing, the guys smoking around seemed not to be able to control their smoke to go in the right direction because it kept coming towards me.

Timi stood up to go and receive a call, obviously searching for a quiet place.

"angel "

I looked to the direction where it came from.

" Soapy" by Naira marley played

"pretty.. "

It was this fat guy at the other end.

" good afternoon " I mumbled. I wasn't sure he heard me.

He came over to where I sat and sat on Timi's space then spoke in my ear.
" I like you, you're beautiful "

I was scared. He was fat and looked terrifying.
His breath smelt of alcohol.

" Thank you, em.. I want to go and get something over there " I said standing up about heading to Timi's direction.

He pulled me back. I was scared as hell. I looked around for Timi, he was a jerk but at least the only one I could trust in this party.... What was I even doing in this party?

There were few girls around, the guys here were more than girls by far.

I felt hot, I don't know if it was out of fear or because the place was stuffy since we were all in the small parlour of this house.

"oh common angel, I don't bite " he teased.

I pulled my hand away from his fat grip. Just when I thought of hitting him anywhere, just somewhere, Timi showed up.

" sweetheart, what's up? " he asked smiling at me.

I had never been so relieved in my life.

" can we leave now? " I asked as I went closer to him.

" no, why? "

" can't you see that guy over there? " I whispered.

" na your babe be this?" the guy asked Timi.

" bros no vex but na my babe be this" Timi answered as he took my hand in his.

I wanted to stubbornly and foolishly protest that I wasn't his girlfriend but then I decided to try and be sensible for once in my life.

"chee! Your girlfriend fine diee! " the fat guy said staring down at my body. I felt uncomfortable but when Timi pulled me closer, I felt strangely safe.
