chapter 3-4

#DAVID 😡

That Angelina! She drives me so crazy… I wonder what is wrong with her.. What could she possibly see in that loser Peter? He's a nobody, he's not rich, not popular, and he could never measure up to my handsomeness, he may be a brainy but what needs a brainiac.. Girls go for guys with money and that's something that I have abundantly.. I could give her anything she wants.. I could take her to places she has never been before, I could take her mars if she wants.

I've done everything humanly possible to pry her attention away from that Peter but nothing seems to work, not even my money, it's like she hardly recognizes my presence, even when I'm together with her, whenever Peter shows up, she drops me aside like a hot rock and focus all her attention on him, I hate that.. I always wonder she sees in that loser.. What does he have that I don't.. I really don't get this girl.

It's really embarrassing that in my level, I can't succeed in wining over Angelina, Most girls I've been with always fall my charms but not this one, It's like she's immune to the materialistic things that I possess and what pisses me off is that Peter doesn't give Angelina as much attention as she does to him, Sometimes when they walk past each other, she would be the first one to make a move… Doesn't she feel ashamed for what she's doing?

Though they're not an item but Angelina's reaction shows that she wants to hook up with this guy but he doesn't show any sign of interest in her.. And from what I heard, They both know each other since childhood and they're both BFFs..

A girl shouldn't pay more attention to her BF than boyfriend.. It ain't right, I really hate the attention Peter is getting from Angelina, and I would do anything to get that kind of treatment.

So one morning, I arrived at Campus as usual in my land rover jeep, As I walked and headed straight to my department, I got some few compliments from my peeps.. I felt my ego rising and pride elevated, it's sure good to be popular.

Soon, I arrived at our lecture hall and saw Angelina in a s€×y body jug and crazy jeans playing with some flowers.

She sat a few meters away from her friends, who were busy staring at her, I realized she had some kind of love dazed look in her eyes.. So I approached her friends before crossing over to her.

.

David ➡ Morning ladies…

.

Aisha ➡ Morning Dave..

.

Jane ➡ Morning handsome… Looking good 😉 (winks)

.

Cindy ➡ David.. How far?

.

David ➡ I'm good… I'm good.. Say let me ask you ladies something… What's wrong with Angelina? Why she is couped over there all alone playing with flowers.?

.

Aisha ➡ Hmm, that's what we'd like to know.

.

Cindy ➡ Yeah.. She's been acting strange ever since she came, she's been smiling and dancing.

.

David ➡ Dancing??

.

Cindy ➡ Yes but now she's pluck some flowers doing whatever she's doing.. She even ignored us when we were asking her about her lively mood.. That's why we're here.

.

David ➡ Okay thanks.. I've got this.. Let me go do my thing.

.

I prepped myself up and walked majestically over to Angelina, as I got closer to her, she was still focused on what she was doing she didn't even bother to notice my presence.

.

David ➡ (coughs) Ahem! Angelina baby.

.

Angelina ➡ (plucking flowers) He loves me.. He loves me not.

.

David ➡ Angelina babe. It's me David..

.

Angelina ➡ He loves me not, he loves me..

.

David ➡ Angelina!!! I'm talking to you.

.

Angelina ➡ He loves me,.. He loves me not..

.

David ➡ Hey! What's with you, huh?

.

Angelina ➡ (shouts excitedly) HE LOVE ME… YAAAY!

.

David ➡ Of course.. I love you.. That's why I'm here..

.

Angelina ➡ (looks at David scornfully) Excuse me… What are you doing here?

.

David ➡ Isn't it obvious? I'm here to see my beautiful hot girlfriend..

.

Angelina ➡ (laughs) Girlfriend!?.. Since when did I become your girlfriend?

.

David ➡ What are you talking about?

.

Angelina ➡ Look David.. You're a cool guy and all but just because we went out and hung out a few times doesn't make me your girlfriend, besides I've already found my Romeo.

.

David ➡ (feeling jealous) So that's why you were so excited? So tell who is he? Ice prince, wiz kid, davido,.. Who is it? Tell me?

.

Angelina ➡ What? God forbid.. I wouldn't be caught dead with those nobodies.. Besides the guy I'm finally with is much more better..no, no,no.. He's 100 time than those nobodies..

.

David ➡ So who is he? What's he look like?

.

Angelina ➡ There's no need for description.. Here he comes.

.

David ➡ Where?

.

I looked at where Angelina was looking at, the only person I saw was that loser Peter.. He walked in looking straight towards us.

.

David ➡ Where is he? I don't see him… The only person I see is that loser Peter.

.

Angelina ➡ Don't you dare call him that! FYI, he's the guy I'm talking about.

.

David ➡ You can't be serious!

.

Angelina ➡ Watch and see….. Hey Peter 💞.

.

I watched as Peter smiled and headed towards us, he came close to Angelina handing her some papers.

.

Peter ➡ Here's your assignment.. The script is a bit complex but I've made some adjustments, it should be easy for you to understand.

.

Angelina ➡ Thanks buddy. (wink) 😉😘

.

Peter ➡ You're welcome, buddy (wink) 😉

.

David ➡ (shocked) What the f-ck is going on? What's with all the winking, huh?

.

Angelina ➡ Peter… Would you mind sitting next to me in class.?

.

Peter ➡ (shy) Uhmm.. Uh..

.

Angelina ➡ (sweetly) Please 💞..

.

Peter ➡ Okay.. Sure.

.

Angelina ➡ David.. I would like you to scram.

.

David ➡ What's going on? I was here first.. If anyone should leave.. It's this loser.

.

Peter ➡ What did you just call me?

.

David ➡ You heard me loser!

.

Angelina ➡ (angry) David,.. Get out of here now.. Your company isn't welcome.. Three is a crowd.

.

David ➡ Is that so? Well I'm not leaving.

.

Angelina ➡ Is that so? Well you can sit here alone…. Let's go Peter..

.

Angelina stood up and grabbed Peter's hands dragging me away, they went to the back seat of hall and sat there, I watched with rage as Angelina cuddled close to Peter… Never in my life have I been so embarrassed and I swear I'll get even the both of them.. I'll make them pay especially Peter for making a fool out of me.

After the class, I went out to meet with Angelina's friends, as I walked out, people were sneering and laughing at me.. Everyone had heard the news of what happened earlier in class. I soon met with Angelina's friends in the cafeteria and decided to seek their help in dealing with both Angelina and Peter.

.

David ➡ Afternoon ladies.. Allow me to handle your bills.. Have whatever you want.. It's on me.

.

Cindy ➡ Thanks.. By the way, I'm sorry about the way Ange treated you.. It was totally rude and unfair.

..

Jane ➡ Absolutely… What was she thinking? Choosing that….. Worthless peter over you?

.

Aisha ➡ Hmm wallahi, something is odd about all this. I've never seen this kind of thing.

.

David ➡ What is odd?

.

Aisha ➡ I think Peter has charmed her..

.

Cindy ➡ Charm? As in juju?

.

Aisha ➡ Yeah.. What kind of reasonable lady would do what Angelina is doing.. I tell you she's charmed.

.

Jane ➡ That's ridiculous..

.

Aisha ➡ Wait. Here she comes.. She's even with Peter.

.

I turned around and watched as they both walked into the cafeteria, as soon as they ordered what they wanted, Angelina used her own money to pay the for things they bought. I was surprised when I saw that… I couldn't believe it… Angelina paying bills for Peter .. Unbelievable.. This dude has failed as a man.. I began to believe what Aisha said, maybe this f-cker has charmed her.

.

David ➡ Unbelievable…

.

Aisha ➡ See! I told you.. Wallahi no matter how much I love a man, I can never spend my money on him.. I'm not his ATM machine.

.

Jane ➡ Well said… Kai.. What has this guy done to you eh?

.

David ➡ Listen.. I don't care whether she's charmed or not.. I want to ruin her relationship with that putá!

.

Jane ➡ Okay.. What's in for us?

.

David ➡ (frowning) Don't worry.. Help me out first and you'll be rewarded for your efforts.

.

Aisha ➡ So what's the plan?

.

#PETER.

Whew! What a day, Lectures and rehearsals were sure tough, but at least it was fun… Around 7:00pm, We finally rounded our school stuff and went home with Angelina.

And speaking of Angelina, ever since we k-ssed, we've been a little bit sweet on each other, though we're not an item yet… I would like is to start dating 💏 but.. My nervousness wouldn't allow me to ask her out, Angelina however was pushing herself all on to me at once.

So as we headed to the campus gate, we walked side by side, talking to each other about how the day went.

.

Peter ➡ Damn! Today was intense.. All these rehearsals are very tiring.

.

Angelina ➡ Oh.. I love the rehearsals, it's the lecture I can't stand.

.

Peter ➡ Well, I prefer the lectures.. Besides why were you so hard on David today?

.

Angelina ➡ Forget that pompous peac*ck.. The ape thought that I was his girlfriend.

.

Peter ➡ Well, aren't you?

.

Angelina ➡ No.. Of course we do hang around but we were never an item, besides why should I be with him when I have someone like you 💞.

.

Peter ➡ Okay.. Let's not rush things… That k-ss 💋 was just… Uhm..

.

Angelina ➡ It was nice… But it did mean something.

.

Peter ➡ Yeah.. Do you know my mother was watching while we locked lips?

.

Angelina ➡ (laughs) What? What did she say? Was she mad?

.

Peter ➡ No… She wasn't.. But I wouldn't want us to be k-ssing again in front of our parents.. I'm sure your dad wouldn't be pleased.

..

Angelina ➡ Yeah.. So how about a date? You and I?

.

Peter ➡ For real?

.

Angelina ➡ Uh huh… Let's go out on our first date as a couple.

.

Peter ➡ Hold on buddy.. Don't rush there yet.. And speaking of dates, I'll handle the bill… You shouldn't have paid for the snacks at the cafeteria earlier this afternoon.

.

Angelina ➡ What? You're ashamed? I don't mind paying the bills for you.

.

Peter ➡ I know and I don't mind.. But you know people.. They'll start saying unnecessary things… Okay where would you like us to go for our date?

.

Angelina ➡ Hmm, let's see.. Wonderland.. I love that place.

.

Peter ➡ Wonderland? It's too noisy.. I don't like the place.. Let's go to someplace quiet.. Like the bowling alley 🎳.

.

Angelina ➡ No! I want to go to wonderland.

.

Peter ➡ Well, I prefer bowling.

.

Angelina ➡ Okay buddy.. Let's do chewing gum – chewing gum.

.

Peter ➡ Now?

..

Angelina ➡ Yes.. If I win.. I get to go wonderland if you win.. We'll go to the bowling alley.

.

Peter ➡ Sure.. You know I'm good in this game.

.

Angelina ➡ We'll see.

.

Angelina and I did the chewing gum stuff, it was kind of childish but it was a way for us to settle conflicts without having an argument, those long talks always end up in disagreement, and as we did it.. Angelina won…

.

Angelina ➡ (laughs) 😂😂😂 Okay buddy.. You're taking me to wonderland..

.

Peter ➡ Okay fine.. I have 20k in my account.. So it should be enough..

.

Angelina ➡ Well, I have 50k, 70k should be enough for us to get into all those amazing rides.

.

Peter ➡ How in the world did you get 50k? Let me guess.. Sugar daddies?

.

Angelina ➡ (smiling) Hmm, almost close.. Would like to know how I get the money? I could get some for you if you want?

.

Peter ➡ No thanks.. I don't want to know and I don't want any money.. You should be careful of the men you hang out with.

.

Angelina ➡ I know, besides I don't ask for the money.. They give and I collect.. Anything free is good..

.

Peter ➡ You silly female.. I would love to see the look on your face when your parents find out about your adventures.. I'll would be watching excitedly with a popcorn 🍿 in hand. (Laughs)

.

Angelina ➡ Is that so? You're such a mean friend..

.

Peter ➡ Am I?

.

Angelina ➡ You know I'm kidding… Okay buddy help me carry my bag.. I'm tired.

.

Peter ➡ Ehn? You can dance for hours nonstop but you can't carry your bag… Carry it jare.

.

Angelina ➡ Pretty please.. I could give you a k-ss 💋.

.

Peter ➡ (laughs) Don't bribe me…. Let's go home.. It's getting late.

.

Angelina ➡ Sure.

.

As soon as we both reached the gate, A black GMC jeep parked right next to us, the window of the back car opened and then an ugly face popped out.

.

Alahji Sule ➡ Angelina, my sweet candy girl.. How are you?

.

As soon as Angelina saw the man, her face showed displeasure, she then faked a smile and went over to the man.. Who the hell was this ugly toad I asked myself.

.

Angelina ➡ Evening Alhaji… You look handsome this evening.

.

Alhaji Sule ➡ I know… My God.. Wallahi every time I see you, I always fall for you.. You look hot..

.

Angelina ➡ Thanks..

.

Alhaji Sule ➡ I've been calling your number but it's unreachable.. I've missed you.. Come on let's go and have some fun huh?

.

Angelina looked at me and then slowly went over to the guy, he opened the door and stretching his arm out to grab her. Before she could get into the car, I pulled her back. Both The Alhaji and Angelina were surprised by what I did.

.

Alhaji Sule ➡ Kai mallam.. Who are you?

.

Peter ➡ Peter, Angelina's brother.. Who are you?

.

Angelina ➡ (softly) Peter..

.

Peter ➡ (to Angelina) Shut up!

.

Alhaji Sule ➡ Oh.. Angelina never told me she has a brother..

.

Peter ➡ Well, now you know!

.

Alhaji Sule ➡ Sorry.. We haven't been properly introduced.. My name is Alhaji Sule, I'm your sister's eh.. Boyfriend..

.

Peter ➡ Boyfriend? Are you married?

.

Alhaji Sule ➡ Uhm… Yes.. But that's not the issue… I want to take her out..

.

Peter ➡ Look! Mr man.. You're wasting your time.. Angelina isn't going anywhere with you.. Our parents don't allow us to talk to strangers especially her.. I'm surprised to see she's going with men old enough to be her father.. So if you don't mind I would like you to stay away from her… Cause if my father hears about it.. You won't like it…

.

Alhaji Sule ➡ She's a grown woman.. She can do whatever she likes..

.

Peter ➡ Yeah but she's still under our parents roof… You wouldn't like your wife to know about your affairs with my sister.

.

Alhaji Sule ➡ (angry) Is that a threat?

.

Peter ➡ No! It's just a warning to let you know anything can happen.. It would be a shame for a man of your integrity to be seen flirting with girls young enough to be your daughter.. It's better to be safe than sorry.

.

The Alhaji kept quiet for a while and then drove off with saying anything.. After he was gone, Angelina began to talk.

.

Angelina ➡ Wow! Peter.. I never knew you were this…

.

Peter ➡ Will you shut up?

.

Angelina ➡ Why are you shouting at me?

.

Peter ➡ Seriously Angelina! This is the kind of men you've been hanging around with.. I'm surprised at you… So this is where you get your extra cash from? .. Your parents would be disappointed.

.

Angelina ➡ What I do is none of your business.

.

Peter ➡ Listen to yourself! Are you nuts? Why would you hang out with men like this? The man looks like those that someone that uses girls for money ritual or kidnaps girls to become sl-ts overseas… Supposing your parents saw you with this man, what would you do? You know what your father is capable of, grown woman or not, he'll thrash you mercilessly.. Do you even think before doing any of this things you're doing? Have you even thought about how your parents would react if something were to happen to you? This is crazy Angelina, and you know it.. Hate me if you like, but I'm going to tell you the truth. This is stupid.. You have to stop seeing this man or any man before it's too late.. If anything happens to you, I too wouldn't be happy about it.. You know what your parents ought to know about this.. Before it gets out of hand.

.

Angelina ➡ What? You can't.. Friends don't snitch on each other.

.

Peter ➡ In this case.. I have to.. See you back home.

.

I walked away leaving Angelina behind.. She was pissed of course.. But she knew I was right. She began to follow me steadily keeping a distance between me and her. As soon as we reached home, we bot entered our houses without saying any word to each other..

Back in my room, I sat down thinking about what happened earlier.. I wanted to tell her parents but I wouldn't want to see Angelina in a sad mood plus her dad would massacre her this night if he knew his daughter was going out with different men. I can't stand to hear her cry all night.

A bit later, My mother called me down stairs, I went down and saw her together with my dad and Angelina's parents, they all dressed formally as if they were going to attend some wedding.

.

Wright ➡ Peter!

.

Peter ➡ Yes sir..

.

Wright ➡ Your mother and I together with Angelina's parents are going on a double date.. We may be old but we can't stopping loving each other right?

.

Felix ➡ Absolutely..

.

Alice ➡ Wright.. Don't rub it in like that.. Evening Peter.

.

Peter ➡ Evening ma….

.

Alice ➡ Hmm, you keep get more charming as you grow..

…

Peter ➡ (blushing) Thanks.

.

Jessica ➡ See how you're swelling his head.. Mr. Man.. You and Angelina are going to take stay here until we get back.. You don't mind, right Felix?

…

Felix ➡ Sure.. I trust Peter.. Don't let her persuade you into anything.. That girl is a loose cannon.

.

Peter ➡ I won't..

.

Alice ➡ That's my Peter. Angelina! Get in here.

.

Angelina walked in looking a bit gloomy, she wore a black tight skin stretch p-nt and an oversized timberland sweater. This girl.. What ever she wears, she's always looks good in it.

.

Angelina ➡ Evening Mr. Wright.. Evening Mrs. Jessica.

.

Both ➡ Evening Angelina.

.

Jessica ➡ Okay Angelina.. Keep an eye on this pemu for me.. You know sluggish he is..

.

Angelina ➡ I will.

..

Wright ➡ Okay.. Let's go and one more thing.. No funny business.

.

Jessica ➡ Oh come on darling.. Nothing will happen.

.

Alice ➡ Absolutely. What could possibly happen? They're both like brothers and sister.. Okay kids.. Have fun.

.

Angelina / Peter ➡ Bye.

.

After our parents were all gone, Angelina and I sat on the couch with a huge gap between us. We said nothing but kept watching TV. After a while, I went to our fridge and brought out a can of fanta and powerhorse and went back over to the couch, as I sat down, I opened both the cans and handed the one of fanta to Angelina, she stared at can and then looked at me squarely.

.

Angelina ➡ You know I don't drink fanta. There's too much sugar. I need to watch my figure..

.

Peter ➡ I know.. I'm just playing with you.. Here's the power horse.

.

Angelina ➡ Thanks.

.

Angelina collected it and took a small sip, as we both drank our beverages, Angelina stared at me anxiously.

.

Peter ➡ What's with the stare?

.

Angelina ➡ You didn't report me to my parents?

.

Peter ➡ Yeah. Changed my mind.

.

Angelina ➡ Why?

.

Peter ➡ (smirking) I couldn't stand to hear you cry (laughs)

.

Angelina punched me on the shoulders after that, then she too began to laugh.

.

Angelina ➡ You almost gave me a heart attack.

.

Peter ➡ Well, friends don't snitch on each other right?..

.

Angelina ➡ Thank you.

.

Peter ➡ Don't thank me yet.. But seriously I want you to stop seeing those men.

.

Angelina ➡ of course…

.

Peter ➡ For real.. Cause the next time this happens.. Daddy is going to hear what you're up to…

.

Angelina ➡ I said I know. Snitch.

.

Angelina rushed over and climbed on top of my thighs hitting me playfully, we wrestled and laughed for a while, after that, we laid on the couch with Angelina still on top of me..

.

Angelina ➡ So.. Is our date still on?

.

Peter ➡ Of course.. Who canceled it?

.

Angelina ➡ I did.. I thought you were going to report to my parents..

.

Peter ➡ Well, i didn't.

.

Angelina ➡ And I'm grateful for it.. Here's my appreciation.

.

Angelina reached down and k-ssed me rom-ntically.. I was surprised but it doesn't matter, I balanced my hands on her wa-ist k-ssing her as well, we k-ssed for minutes without stop, eventually we stopped staring at each other passionately for a while.

.

Peter ➡ Angelina…

.

Angelina ➡ Yes Peter…..

.

Peter ➡… Never mind.. Let's just sit down.. Before our parents get back.

.

Angelina ➡ Okay sure.

.

After that, we stood up and sat on the couch closely to each other, gradually as I wrapped my hands around her wa-ist as we sat, then shortly Angelina looked into my eyes and then got closer to me giving me another k-ss 💋.
