chapter 2

#ANGELINA 😊

Love is a very beautiful thing and as long as I can remember, I've been feeling that way towards Peter ever since I first met him… But the problem is I couldn't confess or let him know how I felt and I wondered if he felt the same way as I do for him.

Many guys have tried to get my attention, but I've ignored them all, the only guy I have eyes for is Peter.. Let's face it.. He's not that rich, not that popular but I don't care about that… Him being a normal regular guy is good enough for me..

Unlike this pompous fools I normally hang out with, Peter is quite different.. He's honest, nice, nervous and he also has a huge sense of humility. And because of this our parents encouraged our relationship with one another. Peter doesn't talk much but when we're together we talk a lot about a lot of things. Every time we're together, I would always stare at his face lovingly .. Despite being this close to him, I've failed several times to let him know how I feel, Sometimes I wish I could talk to him telepathically and tell him about my feelings for me.. I tried sending him signs and signals to let him know that I was into him but he never seems to notice..

Nothing deflates a woman's ego than not being noticed or failing to sed-ce the man she wants… I mean I've always attracted guys without any difficulty or sweat but when it comes to Peter, it's like I'm just a wallpaper hanging on the wall, Sometimes I wonder if I'm just wasting my time on the guy, and I've tried to ignore him but because of the love I have for him, I just can't.. I once made this crazy decision to tell him face to face about my feelings but I was afraid, he might not see my worth and I might lose my credibility and pride as a woman, It's the man that makes the move not the woman.

So one afternoon at campus, I discussed about my issue with my friends… All of them suggested I ditch Peter and set my sights on some better breed of a guy.

.

Angelina ➡ So that's my problem ladies… What should I do honestly?

.

Jane ➡ Babe… Why are you wasting your time on that book worm of a loser? Seriously o… What do you see in that nobody?

.

Cindy ➡ Help me ask her o…. I wouldn't be caught dead talking to him.. God forbid.

.

Angelina ➡ Look! I asked you for an solution to my problem, not to ridicule Peter and speaking of loser, whenever he does my assignment, you do copy it don't you?

.

Aisha ➡ It doesn't matter Angelina.. I mean seriously, what's come over you? You're one of the hottest chicks in campus, the best dancer and a queen of trend.. You shouldn't be chasing after guys like Peter, what does he have to offer you? Look at me for instance, I hang out with men that have benefits, men of worth.. not men of misopportunity.

.

Cindy ➡ Exactly… Take David for instance.. The guy is from a rich home and guess what we're in our final year.. You have a golden ticket to a life of enjoyment and happiness.. David can take care of you and your needs.

.

Angelina ➡ Look ladies… I'm aware of all that, but there's something that Peter has that the others don't have.. Do you know what is it?

.

Aisha ➡ No!

.

Jane ➡ No.

.

Cindy ➡ What is it?

.

Angelina ➡ Devotion. Most of this guys you talk about don't have that.. Like David, all he cares about is himself alone, and whatever he does, he expects to get something in return.

.

Jane ➡ So what's wrong with that? Look, Ange, Love in this generation doesn't exist, our relationship with the guys is just for beneficial purpose, it's more like a business..

.

Aisha ➡ Absolutely.. It's more like a barter system.. We get lots of cash and in return..

.

Cindy ➡ We give the guys some booty (smacks her a**). It's take and give o.

.

Angelina ➡ I can't believe you girls… Well, I'm not like you girls, all I want is some love.. True love.

.

Aisha ➡ (laughs) This girl is just dreaming wallahi..

.

Cindy ➡ Tell her o.. My dear what do you think this is? Some fairy tail story where you meet your prince charming and live happily ever after? those days are long gone.. Babes in those eras are stupid they don't know what they want.. This is a modern era, you need to be greddy.

.

Angelina ➡ You're the ones who are stupid… True love still exists.. And that's what I believe in.. You girls talk about money like it can buy you all the happiness in the world.. It can't..

.

Jane ➡ Let me ask you.. Don't you like money?

.

Angelina ➡ I do.. But both love and money are separate things and each has their own use..

.

Cindy ➡ Nawah for you o… Better change your course on this matter before you lose..

.

Angelina ➡ Don't worry about me.. Just keep your noses out of my business.

.

In that moment, as we were talking, We noticed David approaching us with some of his friends, just as they were about to get closer to us, these brutes bumped into one of course mates making fun of her, this student's name is Happiness.

In every academic level, each one has its own group of students who hang out and share the same interests like for instance, the rich students hang our with students of their status, the dumb ones also hang out with fellow dumb ones.. So happiness is among those that prefer to be alone, or more like a lone wolf out that prefers to stay away from the rest of the pack.. She's always silent, and has this habit of staring at people as if she's spying at them and because of her awkward nature, the rest of the students tend to bully her a lot. Among these students that derive pleasure in bullying happiness was David. He even made it his daily routine to be bullying her.

.

David ➡ Happiness, Happiness… Just loom at how your dressing is… Can't your parents afford enough money to buy you clothes..

.

The other students gathering around the place laughed at Poor happiness, She gave them no answer and decided to leave the place but David and his stupid friends won't let her be.

.

Aisha ➡ (laughs) That David is such a riot.

.

Jane ➡ I must say… He certainly knows how to lighten the mood.

.

Angelina ➡ I can't believe you guys… This isn't funny… He's mocking her..

.

Cindy ➡ Come on Ange.. Where's your sense of humor?

.

Angelina ➡ This stupidity has gone on long enough.. I'm putting a stop to this.

.

Just as I was about to make a move, Peter came into the scene, saving happiness from David's taunt.

.

Peter ➡ Why don't you leave her alone jerk?

.

David ➡ What did you say you book worm?

.

Peter ➡ You heard me!

.

David ➡ Whatever, who do you think you are? Trying to be a hero? You're nothing more than a loser..

.

Peter ➡ I may be a loser.. But I'm more sensible and mature than you.. It's sad really bullying and making fun of happiness, how low can you get.

.

David ➡ Better watch your mouth church rat.

.

Peter ➡ Feeling angry!? You should be.. Only cowards take advantage of a helpless lady.. It's a shame you don't have any real friends to tell you what you're doing is wrong.. You think bullying happiness makes you cool but honestly, it makes you look like a big moron, and the reason why nobody says anything to you is because you're rich.

.

I couldn't help but laugh at David… Peter really washed him inside out.. Everyone in the place agreed with what Peter said but they didn't show it, After that Peter helped happiness up and went on his way.

.

Hours later that night, I was in my room on my bed thinking about the courageous thing Peter by standing up for Happiness, I wish there were other men like Peter out there. I brought out my diary and wrote about what Peter did today, my diary was the only place I could pour out my feelings on to about him. After I was done, I decided it was time to hit the sack.. I stood up and began to remove my clothes, in that moment, I got this feeling that someone was watching me, as I quickly turned around, I saw Peter by his window standing in a dazed expression in his own room staring at my direction… His mouth was slightly open, and he stood like a zombie, I noticed his huge boner which was trying to come out of his boxer, it would seem he was lost in the moment, then suddenly he came back to life and realized what was happening, upon realizing I was looking at his direction, He quickly ducked out of sight but it was already too late.. I laughed to myself as I remembered the look on his face, and I was glad to see he was ar-used after staring at my body.

I quickly checked the time and saw it was 7:30 pm, the night was still young and this was the best time to hang out, plus our parents wouldn't mind if we did.. So I quickly went to my wardrobe and check for some thing casual to wear.. Oh tonight is going to be fun.

.

#PETER 😣

God, what have i done?… Peeking at a lady while she's undressing.. That's undignified and mannerless.. Oh.. What would Angelina think of me now? She'll probably detest me and hate me for what I did.. She'll now see me as nothing but a pervert… Oh God.. She'll never see me with respect.

Besides it's not like its my fault… I came into my room after eating the jollof rice and beans my mom made for dinner. My room was stuffy and I wanted to sleep so I had to open the curtains and the moment I did that…. VOILA..

Behold! My eyes caught the sight of Angelina's enticing body.. There she was in her room removing her clothes.. My first thought was to stop looking and duck out of sight but I couldn't.. I just kept staring and my body wouldn't move, I swallowed hard as I looked at her straight firm luscious milk jugs for the second time, God! I wonder how many lucky guys have latched their stinking mouths on her pink n-pples. I got hard and ar-used as I kept looking at her, her body was just so perfect, so well formed and shaped and the girl is doing a good job to maintain her form, apart from her tits, her wa-ist and hips were a sight to behold and not to mention her Cowa-bunga ass that makes me ho-ny every time I stare at it.. God.. I'm such a naughty fellow, why am I having such naughty thoughts about her?.. What am I even saying?… This is stupid.. I love this girl but why can't I tell her.. Just how do most of these guys do it?

I was so lost in my thought, I didn't realize when she turned around and saw me.. The surprised look on her face jolted me back to life, I quickly hid myself underneath the window.. My heartbeat began to beat so fast, I felt so ashamed and embarrassed I wished the ground would just swallow me.. I couldn't believe Angelina saw me.. What was I going to do now?…

I closed my curtains and laid down on my bed sweating, the er-ction I had earlier had quickly disappeared.. Fear and anxiety had grabbed hold of me, I couldn't think straight after that.. All I could think of was what Angelina would do next? I just hope she won't tell anyone about this especially her parents. I shouldn't be overreacting considering she was my bestie since childhood and this wasn't the first time I've seen her unclad but some women are so stupid and unpredictable, you never can tell what's going on in their minds.

In that moment, I heard the banging knock on our door, My mind skipped a beat as I heard that.. I quickly went to the other window to see who was knocking , I farted when I saw It was Angelina… She stood with hands akimbo waiting for the door to be opened.. I couldn't believe this chick.. Was she coming to report me to my parents? They won't beat me but the scolding that I would get especially from my mother is enough to break a guy's ego.

I walked around the room not knowing what to do… I quickly wore my shorts and waited for what was going to happen next.

.

Jessica ➡ Peter! Can you open the door?

.

Peter ➡ I.. Uh.. I.. I'm in the toilet.

.

Jessica ➡ Already? When did the food digest? You young men of nowadays, I don't know why you've fallen in love with the toilet.

.

Peter ➡ Come on mama.. Not cool. Not cool.

.

Jessica ➡ Whatever.. Let me go and open the door.

.

I sat on my bed eagerly waiting for the flood gates to be opened, I listened as Angelina and my mom exchanged pleasantries and after that everything became quiet. Then suddenly I heard my mom shout my name and I knew I was in hot soup this night..

In that moment, I heard my mom's footsteps as she made her way to my room, in that moment, She banged on my door as if she was going to break it down.

.

Jessica ➡ Peter! Are you still in the toilet? Angelina is here o..

.

Peter ➡ Really mom? Its not cool, you're embarrassing me.

.

Jessica ➡ Come out already.. She's waiting for you.

.

Mothers!… After that, I gave a sigh of relief when I realized my mom didn't blow a fuse, looks like Angelina hasn't told her anything yet. So I left my room and went down to meet her, as soon as I got down, there she was standing… My God, Angelina was stunning. She wore one black short wooly skirt which shaped her s€×y wa-ist and bum and bottomless shirt with a white singlet on the inside, She stood eyeing me as I came down the stairs, my mom was already by her side as I came down.

.

Peter ➡ Hey 👋..

.

Angelina ➡ Hey 👋.

.

Jessica ➡ What took you so long?

.

Peter ➡ Mom, please let me be..

.

Jessica ➡ Quiet my friend.. Okay now.. I'll leave you two alone.

.

After that, my mom left us in a hurry and went back to whatever she was doing, I stood silently stealing glances at Angelina who was staring at me without even blinking an eye.

.

Peter ➡ So.. Erm…. What now?

.

Angelina ➡....

.

Peter ➡ Angelina!?

.

Angelina ➡ I'm thinking 🤔… Let's see… Hmm! Okay I know what we can do.. Let's go out.

.

Peter ➡ Now?

.

Angelina ➡ Yes.. Is there a problem?

.

Peter ➡ No.. Not at all.

.

Angelina ➡ Okay.. Let's go.

.

Angelina and I left the house and went on our night adventure, We didn't board any taxi, we just kept walking silently side by side close to each other, Angelina was getting too close to me and was trying to hold my hands but I jammed them short.. It's not like I don't want to hold her hands, it just that I wasn't bold enough to walk in the streets of Abuja hand in hand with her..

A while later we arrived at one building, it was finished but not yet operational, Angelina gave me a sly look and I knew what she was thinking.

.

Peter ➡ Ange.. No! This is private property! We can't trespass.

.

Angelina ➡ Oh please what's wrong in exploring the place? Besides we won't take long.

.

Peter ➡ No! I can't…. You can go on if you like.

.

Angelina ➡ Fine…. But just know your mother will hear about what you did this evening.. I'm sure she'll be very displeased with your unusual behavior.

.

I knew she was bluffing but I decided to follow in anyways, After we got into the building, the craziness started..

From the designs of the rooms, I could tell that these were like offices like the ones in that bank, there was chairs, tables and other stuff, Angelina and I sat on the chairs rolling around and around, we climbed on the tables jumping from one table to another, Angelina went that far to spoil the well painted walls by using nails to write her initials and mine, she even imprinted her lips on the white painted wall. I loved moments like this with Angelina, it never gets old, despite being in adolescent age, we loved to act like kids. After making a mess of things we decided to rest and relax, Angelina and I sat on the same chair 💺, While I sat on the chair, she sat on my lap, any guy would think that I've hit the jackpot but this is nothing.

.

Peter ➡ What we did was…

.

Angelina ➡ Fun?

.

Peter ➡ Fun? It was crazy.. I'm just imagining how the building owner would react if he saw the mess we did..

.

Angelina ➡ Who cares… Besides it's not big deal, he can cover all this with a pain.

.

Peter ➡ Yeah.

.

After that, we both kept quiet.. I wanted to talk to Angelina and apologize to her about what happened earlier, I know she didn't mind but at least, she should know I didn't do it on purpose, it's small things like this that can ruin friendships.

.

Peter ➡ Uh buddy!?

.

Angelina ➡ Yes buddy.

.

Peter ➡ What happened earlier back at the house.. I didn't mean it.. I never meant to..

.

Angelina ➡ Don't apologize.. You couldn't help it. Besides I'm not mad.. I know you didn't mean to peek at me while I was in my birthday suit. But enough of that. Let's dance.

.

Peter ➡ Here?.

.

Angelina ➡ Yes.. Besides there's nobody here.. Where's your phone?

.

Peter ➡ Here.

.

I gave her the phone and she unlocked the password! Like I said we both knew each other's personal stuff including password, after that she tapped into my music app and searched for a suitable music, after a while she began to look displeased.

.

Angelina ➡ Buddy! Don't you have any naija songs? You know I don't dig this your American songs.

.

Peter ➡ Oh for God's sake.. Here bring that phone…

.

I snatched the phone away from her hands and selected Ed-sheran's *perfect* and played it.. I kept the phone on the table and went close to Angelina, I held her wa-ist firmly and she wrapped her hands around my neck and we danced in a slow motion, The music was sure the best for moments like this, as we danced quietly with each other, we began to look at each other in the eyes, Usually I wasn't this bold but tonight was different, Angelina's eyes was fixed on mine, she was looking at me as if she had finally found what she was looking for, she then placed her head on my chest and we kept dancing like that until the music came to an end.

After the music ended we both looked at each other again, there was some kind of arousing tension rising between us, I tightened my hold on Angelina's wa-ist, and did she, then suddenly gradually and slowly, we both began to reach out to each other, I couldn't believe that tonight is the night that I finally get to k-ss 💋 her, mouth to mouth.. I felt so excited but I maintained my cool, just as we were inches from locking lips together, Disaster struck.

In that beautiful moment, we got interrupted by one security guard whom we didn't take notice off, he must have been attracted by the music we played.

.

Security guard ➡ Hey! Wetin una dey do?.. Wetin bring una come here??? Jesus.. Wetin una do for this place? Jesus! Chai… See the wall o.. Oga go vex… Oya.. Hey where una dey go… Stop! I say stop!

.

Before he could even get a look on our faces, Angelina and I hightailed out of there and got out the building, we ran home laughing 😂 as we joked about the sudden appearance of the security guard, but honestly, I wasn't happy about the interference and I'm sure Angelina wasn't too.

About some minutes later, we finally reached home, Angelina and I stood outside before we went our separate houses.

.

Angelina ➡ Tonight was fun..

.

Peter ➡ Yeah. But it would have been more fun if the guard didn't interrupt.

.

Angelina ➡ Yeah..

.

Peter ➡ Uhm. Okay… Good night then..

.

Angelina ➡ Yeah.. Good night..

.

We both stood staring at each other, then afterwards we slowly turned around and went our separate ways.. I was hoping she'd make the first move.. I wanted to take the leap first but I was too nervous to make a move, You know some people easily lose the person they're meant to be with because of this and they end up regretting in their later life.. and I don't want that.. In that moment I turned around to meet Angelina but then instead I got a surprise of my life, as soon as I turned around Angelina wrapped her hands around me and k-ssed me passionately, I didn't hesitate to wrap my hands around her wa-ist tightly.. Though it was my first time i managed to keep it professional, her mouth tasted like vanilla.

Nothing fell more good than that moment I having with her, we k-ssed each other continuously as if we wouldn't let go.. I felt a bit ar-used as I felt the warmth of her skin and the soft mounds of her bre-sts, k-ssing under the moon light 🌜 was best moment anyone could ever have.

5 minutes later, We both stopped, staring at each other admiringly, Angelina still had her hands around my neck, she bit her lower lip sed-ctively staring at me, She then got closer to my face, I was hoping she'd k-ss me again but then she brought her face close to my ears whispering to me.

.

Angelina ➡ (quietly) It's getting late… Let's do this next time..

.

Peter ➡ Sure.

.

We let go of each other and went on our separate ways… I turned around and looked at Angelina as she walked to her house, she was kind of walking in an excited way shaking and twerking her a**, as she got to her front door, she turned around blew me a k-ss 💋 and then she went inside.

I smiled and went into my own house, as soon as I got in, I saw my mom with hands akimbo staring at me.

.

Peter ➡ What?

Jessica ➡ Next time you k-ss Angelina, don't let her make the first move.. It's undignified, be more of a man..

After that, she went back to the bedroom leaving me in shock.. Was she watching us the wh0le time while we were k-ssing?

.
