Chapter 6

I woke up feeling so happy,I felt the same euphoria,same ecstasy and elation a girl with everything going right for her would feel.

I finally felt like brighter days were on it's way,and that my life could definitely get better,I always felt like my life will always be mundane,but after last night,after telling Seyi what happened to me and not feeling damaged,it was like I could finally see myself getting over this, finally living freely.

He was still asleep,he looked so...well different from the Yoruba demon I met a week ago,he wanted my perception of him to change and he totally accomplished that.

I know I probably made it too easy for him,but it's not my fault he is so good at this,I'm giving him a chance to be my friend and nothing else,I'm not ready for anything more,but the thing is,I may have given him the wrong impression,while I was consumed with his charms and then by my weak side.

I feel so weak emotionally at the moment and I'm not going to let him break me any further,I know he has the charming personality and basically everything needed to hurt me,he was a Yoruba demon after all.

Call me stupid but I still want him around,I want to prove to myself that I can be friends with him without getting hurt.

Seyi interrupted my line of thoughts by saying "Good morning E" He said in a husky tone,while he tried to sit up.

"Good morning Seyi,em I should probably say something,in case I gave you the wrong idea" I probably shouldn't be saying this while we were both in bed,not to mention together,like the situation wasn't already weird.

"Em well I appreciate,em I mean yesterday was nice and all.My goodness how do I put this" I bit my lips and face palmed feeling more than nervous,what if I'm over reacting,or I'm misinterpreting things,a night like yesterday would seem like we were a thing right?

He looked at me like he was trying to read my thoughts and then switched to an amused expression " Ese it's fine, I get it,I know we aren't a thing, friends right?,you don't like me that way and it's fine,I'm okay with just being your friend"he said and gave me his signature smile.

"Right.." I said feeling awkward and then came the silence

After some seconds I realized i was feeling too comfortable here,I was in bed with a guy that wasn't my brother.

I jumped up the bed like it was on fire and said "I have to go,we'll talk later? " I added cause I really wanted to be sure we were okay.

"Hey,you should shower first before you leave and have breakfast too,it's totally fine" He said while getting up for the first time since we woke up

After a night like yesterday I really did need a shower and breakfast won't hurt too right?,this was normal right?.

I actually feel like we are friends,i feel safe with him so I guess It would be okay.

He ended my line of thoughts by saying

"I'll leave you alone so you can take a shower,see you downstairs " he winked at me while he walked towards the door.

I laughed and said "I didn't even say I was taking you up on your offer, cocky much and Eni has to agree to it too"

"We both know you won't say no and Eni definitely won't mind" He smirked

I rolled my eyes.

After Seyi left the room,I stripped and headed to the bathroom,when the warm water hit my skin,my muscles that I wasn't even aware were tensed relaxed,it felt amazing,I didn't know just how much I needed this.

I took my precious time cleaning up and basking in the amazing feeling,until I felt pity for my tummy which was making rumbling sounds due to lack of food.

I headed downstairs and saw Eni in the large living room,she seemed to be on a phone call,I considered waiting for her to finish but my stomach had other plans and the aroma coming from the kitchen made it harder to wait for Eni to finish,I walked towards the kitchen and I saw Seyi who looked like a husband trying to be romantic by making breakfast for his wife,like he was so concentrated,he didn't even notice I was standing at the door,he got the wearing an apron covered, and also the spiraling bit,he was moving from each corner of the kitchen like a mad man picking up things,he moved from the cooker to check on what I was assuming were eggs and to the other burner which was boiling the yam, like he got all the boxes checked.

He moved to the cupboard close to were I was standing and finally saw me, he smirked and said "like what you see" .

I let out a nervous laugh and said "There's nothing to see"

"Right.. that was so convincing" he gave me a knowing look

While trying to think of a come back , I heard Eni's voice beside me

"Hey what's up, how are you feeling now? "

"I'm feeling better, but right now I'm starving, what's the time?,I can't believe i'm this hungry"

"I know right" She said and let out a groan "it's 12 by the way"

"That explains a lot.By the where's Ray? " I said to her

"I don't know actually haven't see him.Seyi? " She said directly the question to him

"He is probably still in bed,the guy sleeps like a log" Seyi teased

"Guyy,did you just call me a log in front of a girl I like" Ray said joining us in the kitchen

Eni obviously being the person he was referring to did nothing but rolled her eyes.

I expected more than that from her,I guess she just didn't take him seriously.

"Correction,I said you sleep like a log , didn't call you one" Seyi said

Ray just gave him a look "you think you're smart right?"

I chuckled " Don't mind him. Good morning Ray "

"Good morning sunshine" Ray said to me

He got behind Eni and said "Good morning beautiful"

Eni again responded with a eye roll and said "Good morning"

And then Seyi out of nowhere shouted "Brunch is ready"

Eni and Ray quickly dished their food and practically ran to the dinning table like hungry lions ready to feed on their prey, while I was left with the wannabe chef.

I chuckled.

"What's so funny" Seyi said

"Nothing,nothing at all" I said

And to my surprise he left it alone, I walked further into the kitchen to dish out my food but Seyi decided to dish it out for me and then he took he's food and mine to the dinning table,he gestured for me to seat and then placed the food in front of me.

"Bon appetite" Seyi said with a smile and sat next to me.

If I wasn't black i'm more than sure my whole face would be red right now.

I face palmed,he is just trying to tease you,I said to myself .

"Thank you" I said,deciding I wanted to tease him too,I added " So you are both a chef and a waiter today,nice"

"What can I say I'm a man of many talents " He smirked

Of course that backfired, I took a bite of my food and to my surprise it was actually good,there's nothing really special in making yam and eggs but I totally thought he would be horrible at cooking,i was actually expecting too much salt or like half cooked yam but it was actually all cooked to perfection,and it tasted really good.

"If business management doesn't work out,you should seriously try being a chef" I teased

"Awwwn thanks E" Seyi said trying to sound all flustered.

I laughed.

"Seriously though,this is good" Eni added

"Thanks" he said smiling

He was so enjoying this,I thought to myself,he can't be good at everything though,I can't wait to find something he isn't good at and rub it in his face.

I smiled deviously and went back to eating .

******************

Eni and I were in my room,I was on my bed,face looking up,legs crossed and thinking about no other but the one and only Yoruba demon in my life .

Eni was typing away on her phone and then she giggled.

That definitely got my attention.

I could definitely tell who she was texting,it was obviously Tobi,they hardly texted from what she told me,according to her he is always so busy with school stuff,from the way she complained about it you'll actually think they were dating,but Eni keeps telling me they are just friends,which is total BS because even a blind person can see the chemistry between those two but for some reason Eni doesn't want to admit there's anything.

I was about to tell her just how much she looked like a love sick puppy but then her expression changed drastically.

She looked like she just got the worse news ever and then just like that she replaced it with a flat look "so I know you are probably tired and all but are you up for an evening hang out with Tobi?,I haven't seen him in a while and I kinda don't want to go alone" She said that last part like she was going to breakdown.

"Yea sure I'm down,hey Eni what's wrong"

"He is..Tobi is actually dating someone and Ese,I think he actually loves her" She said as a tear fell down her face
