LOLA'S POV:
"Mummy"
"Mother" she hates it when I call her mummy
"What is it?" I flinched at the sound of her voice...her very powerful and authoritative voice
"If you don't have a reason to call me then don't"
My mother Mrs Ojo is the rudest person I know
"Straight forward" she calls it
"Erm...I want...ed...to...erm"
"Stop that nonsense"
"You haven't paid for the practical money I told you about" I rapped in one breadth..She stopped typing on her computer for less than a milliseconds then resumed typing again..... totally ignoring me
"What practical?"she asked approximately an hour after I told her about it...she has always been like that so I wasn't surprised
"Biology ma'am"
"You do biology?" She looked like a bomb was dropped in front of her and was to explode in seconds
"Yes"
"Yes what?"
"Yes ma'am " I quickly added
"You do biology" this time it sounded more like a statement than a question
She closed her laptop and started laughing...... laughing like the lunatic she was.
"Your school like stealing my money Sha...what do you know that you're doing biology"
"Biology is compulsory,I dropped further maths last term like you instructed"
"Are you not an art student?Gbemi doesn't do biology"
"It's compulsory in my school" I raised my voice in annoyance and frustration
"You're shouting?" I didn't reply
"Answer me...keep shouting na BASTARD" I was used to it ,every single one of it...The names ,the comparison , everything
"Are you going to pay or not" I dared to ask
"How much is the stupid thing?"
"It's fifteen thousand naira " I lied...it was an obvious lie but she didn't ask ,she never did
She counted twenty thousand naira notes and threw on the table, continuing what she was doing earlier
"Thank you ma " she didn't reply ,I've actually never heard her reply
"I'm going out" she ignored me and I took my key and quickly left the house...
I received a text
She😥:Be home before seven
I rolled my eyes and wore my headset
After Dan , Music was the one thing that keeps me alive .....I kept singing and dancing while I strolled into Gentry estate not caring about the eyes on me
As I entered the Gentry estate, I immediately felt at ease.
I greeted the security guards and when I got to the Okeke mansion, I called my boyfriend to come open up
"Babyy " he hugged me so tight like we weren't in school together .He was shirtless as usual, revealing his tight and that I was urging to caress badly.
"You look beautiful baby "he whispered and kissed my neck...I wasn't comfortable but I couldn't stop him ...He was in a good mood and I'd rather leave it at that
The okeke mansion is one of the biggest in Gentry estate....Gentry estate is where the rich stay .His house was like one of those houses you'll see in a high budget movie and be marvelled by it's structure
I've been here a series of time but I still get fascinated each time
Dan led me to his room as usual ,one of the messiest place I've been to
I always end up clearing his mess before I go home
"So...what's up"
"I'm fine"
"I know you are"
"Ohh ok"
"The money ?" He demanded and I immediately streached out fifteen thousand naira notes from the money I had on me .
"Lola!!!" he barked
"Babe ,calm down what's wrong "
"What's wrong?....are you seriously asking me that "
"Dan ... please be calm"
"What the fuck......I said I needed twenty thousand......shit" he kept cussing at me and I did nothing but stare
His parents were rich ,filty rich .....they sponsored almost every school event and were extravagant spenders but my boyfriend claims he hated asking them for anything and I could understand......He hated his parents
His mother owns a jewelry shop and his father has a cosmetic factory ......Screaming richness ba?
But they were bad parents and even my mom was a better parent than both of them
"Dan .... please" it calmed him a little and he wrapped his hands around me cleaning my tears.
"Babe I'm sorry"
"It's fine"
"No....I'm sorry"
"I'm sorry too "
"Do you love me?" He never got tired of asking me that question and I also never got tired of assuring him
"Dan ...I do ,I swear"
"Can I?" I nodded trying to pacify his earlier anger
"Use words Lola"
"Yes you can" he unzipped my fitted gown .......what ever he did ,I just wanted him to be happy.
"I love you Lola" with that he zipped up my gown and hugged me while I remained mute , I couldn't question his decisions
My phone beeped and it was a notification from WhatsApp
09023*****34: Hi ,it's Queen🙃🙃❤️
Me. :Hi😊
Queen. :Awwn thank God you replied 😩❤️......so how are you?
"Who's that?" He didn't let me reply before he snatched my phone and read the text out loud .
"What does she want?"
"I don't know na ...she just texted me"
"So you have a new friend"
"Somehow"
"Interesting..." I smiled because it seemed like he was proud of me for making a new friend even though I couldn't consider her as one yet .
But suddenly,he hurled my phone across the room but fortunately I was fast enough to get hold of it
"Dan ....what the fuck was that " he started laughing like a maniac making me tensed out of the blues
"You're using the F word at me ,awwwn so bold of you my love " he kept moving close to me and his eyes were screaming "you're fucking dead "
I ran quickly from where he stood ... His anger was something I never looked forward .But then as I opened my eyes, I was bewildered by the sudden change in his demeanor. He was crying, his shoulders shaking with each sob. It was a distressing sight, and my fear began to transform into concern.
"Daniel, please," I pleaded, my anger dissipating. "What's wrong? Why are you so upset?"
He wiped away his tears with the back of his hand and looked at me with eyes that were filled with a turbulent mix of emotions.
"Do you love me, Lola?" he asked, his voice quivering.
It was a familiar question, one that he had asked before. I nodded, my heart aching for him.
"Yes, Daniel," I said softly.
"I love you."
His face softened, and he reached out to caress my cheek.
"I love you too, Lola," he whispered, his voice filled with an intensity that sent shivers down my spine.
"I just... I can't stand the thought of losing you."
I placed my hand on his, trying to comfort him.
I didn't fully understand why he was so upset, but I didn't want to see him in pain.
"You won't lose me, Daniel," I reassured him.
"I'm here for you, no matter what."
He pulled me into a tight embrace, and I could feel his heart pounding against mine. In that moment, I didn't question his actions or his words. I simply held him, believing that our love could conquer whatever challenges lay ahead.
