Dela sat down under a tree in front of the house reading a book when Lily emerged from nowhere and stood in front of him.. 

" Hey.. ". She said but Dela didn't even took note of her.

  " Dela...how are you doing?". She said again but he didn't mind her.

  " De...".

" What!... can't you see I don't want to mind you?". Lily was about to mention his name again when he shouted her up.

  " Hmm..how did we got here, Dela? We used to be very close...we used to live like brother and sister.. what happened all of a sudden".

Lily said and tears started running down her cheeks. Dela wasn't even touched by that. He kept on flipping through the story book he was read reading.

"Please, Dela just look at me for once. Let go back to how we used to be". She said and fell down on her knees and cried like a new born baby.

  Layla was unfortunately to be passing by her window when she saw Lily on her knees while Dela was busily doing something else. Layla smirked when she saw that but wasn't satisfied to see her with him.

   "Why is she even here?..what does she want from Dela?". She thought the decided to walk down there to see what was going on.

  Immediately she left her room, she was confronted by Jonie who was also coming because of her.

"Oh...I'm a lucky boy". Jonie said when he saw Layla. Layla rolled her eyes and looked away.

  "Why are you here?". She asked.

"I'm just here to tell you something very important. Anyway come with me ... come". He dragged Layla with him without letting her taken a look back through the window.

  "Hey wait... stop dragging me". Layla said but Jonie wasn't ready to listened to her. He took her away.

     FLASHED BACK

Jonie was passing by behind the house when he saw Lily standing in front of Dela who seem to be lost in his own world.

  "And what is she doing here?" He thought then hid behind the house for Lily not to see him but Dela has already sense him.

    He mind linked him to go and make sure Layla does not see them. He nobbed his head and went away.

       BACK TO PRESENCE

Lily was still on her knees when Dela stood up and held her up.

  "You don't need to knee down for me to see how regretful you are about what you did". Dela said and made her sat down. Lily smiled to herself wickedly thinking that she had won him over.

  "Have I been forgiven?". She said.

"No...I just don't like it when I see girls crying ". Dela said and Lily smiled.

  "I just want to tell you that stay away from us and please stay on your own..we are more comfortable without you ". Dela said and stood up then went away.

  "What!..Dela". Lily shouted but he was drowned into the darkness.

  " Hmm..I will never give up on you Dela. No matter what you have to be mine". She said and vanished.

" So Jonie you just dragged me here to waste my time or what?". Layla said for she was tried of standing in the kitchen.

" Oh..I'm almost done ". Jonie was preparing some pancakes for Layla because that was her favorite snack.

" Aggrh...I hate you". She said and stomped her feet.

" Just wait a little, I'm done now... ta-da!". He pretended the delicious looking pancakes to Layla whose mouth was already watering to taste it.

" Wow .. Jonie I don't think I hate you anymore.. infact I love you". Layla said and grabbed the plate of pancakes from his hands.

" Mmmm... delicious ". Layla said after tasting a bit of it. Sa entered the kitchen. He walked straight to them.

" What is going on here?". Dela asked but no one mind him.

"Will someone...". Before he could finished his words, Layla filled his mouth with some pancakes.

"How is it?". Jonie asked and Layla Laughed.

"Mm...is soo sweet , who made it?". Dela said while picking another one.

"He did it". Layla pointed at Jonie who was being full of himself because he was being complemented.

"Wow bro you are such a good chef". Dela said.

"Thank you...thank you". He said.

Just then, Aunty Maggie also entered the kitchen.

"What is happening here?". She asked.

"We are..mmm.. eating". Layla replied while the others nobbed their heads.

"Okay". Aunty Maggie said and took a water from the fridge. She was about to leave when Jonie stopped her.

"Aunty". He called then walked a bit closer to her.

"Yes". She turned her back and faced him.

"Can I have a word with you please". Jonie said and took off the kitchen dress then placed it back in it cabinet then mind linked Dela to come over when he is done talking to Aunty Maggie so that he would come and play his part about what they discussed the previous day.

"Yeah sure". Aunty Maggie said and Jonie walked her out to the living room.

"Aunt please sit down". He made her sat down and he also sat beside her.

They started their discussion and Aunty Maggie kept quiet listening to all that he was saying like a child who is being advice by her parent.

"I hope our plans work out". Layla said while cleaning the dishes plate.

"Yeah me too". Dela said while lending on the wall with his phone in his hand as if he is addiction to it.

"Hey guys we did it...now your turn Dela". Jonie said.

"You got this". Layla said and Dela blew her a kiss.

"I got it babe". He said abd went outside.

Hosea was taking a little nap when they all emerged from nowhere.

"Wake up.. don't sleep". Layla tapped her on her leg. She switched her eyes opened and adjusted herself properly on her bed.

"What brought you guys here!". She asked while cleaning her eyes.

"Because we failed to convinced Aunt". Jonie said and Layla kicked him on his legs.

"Ouch!..I thought I just made some pancakes for you .why are you still against me now.. weren't you the one who said she loves me?" He asked in pain.

"That was a mistake". Layla lied.

"Is okay... just tell me the truth". Hosea said.

"Well we were able to convinced her". Dela said.

"Wow...I knew you guys can do it without me". Hosea said.

"Yeah ". Jonie said and gave her a winky.
