Tracey oh please

He smiled standing up after collecting it and walked over to his study desk, sitting on the chair. He pulled a string and it made a tune, then after he cleared his throat.

🎸🎶🎵 " I still gat joy in chaos, I gat peace that makes no sense".

" I won't be going under, I'm not held by my own strength".

"I've built my life on Jesus...". 🎵🎶🎸

Yoel sang beautifully while playing the guitar and the magical tunes feel the whole room. And then finally, he ended the song with both the boys cheering for him.

"Whoo. That was beautiful bro". They both cheered at a time and Yoel smiled.

"Thanks". He appreciated, dropping the guitar before walking back to the bed.

"I must confess bro, that was the most beautiful play I've ever listen to". Tobi make a fake sniff and Yoel stared at him weirdly.

"That's a lie and you only said it just to make me feel good, right? ". Yoel said and Tobi sniffled, before blowing.

"Yes you're right. But seriously, it was beautiful". Tobi said, sipping at his drink too. He was sitting on a couch opposite Thompson.

"Bro, I have a question". Thompson stated and Yoel snorted.

"Heyy. I remember I wanna ask you a question too".

" Can't that wait bro, this will be really helpful". Thompson elaborated and Yoel turned to him at once.

"Oh really, open up then". He signalled, resting on the bed.

"You really great at this thing and since you're just settling in and have no job at the moment, I thought it'll be really great if you sign up for the audition show at the HGMW PREMIER INDUSTRY coming up on the 20th of this month. Who knows, you might get lucky to be a part of the awesome band".

Yoel was only staring at the ceilings, listening to Thompson and he rise up immediately.

"I have a question". He said and Thompson signalled to him to go ahead.

"Who are the HGMW ? ". He asked and the both boys gasped in shock.

"Are you FR? You mean you don't know HGMW? Gash, HGMW are abbreviation for Hot Guys Music World. It's an industry and a male popular bands in the country. There are lots of signed singers, and bands underneath it... ".

" Here we go again". Tobi sighed, covering his ear with his both hands so he wouldn't hear a word from what Thompson is about stating.

"... They are the most famous industry and in the whole Nigeria, and guess what, the BUTTERFLIES are signed under them too. They gained Independence months back, and handle signing members themselves. Is that information helpful? ". Thompson asked after he was done.

"Oh sure, thanks alot kiddo". Yoel said and Thompson smiled. A notification pooped on his phone immediately.

It was none other than Tracey.

📨

" 𝑾𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒀𝒐𝒆𝒍? 𝑨𝒎 𝒅𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒈𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒏𝒚 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒂𝒎 𝒔𝒂𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒊𝒏𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒎 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒊 𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒏𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒔𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒔𝒂𝒚𝒊𝒏𝒈. 𝑨𝒍𝒍 𝒊 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒐𝒏𝒍𝒚 𝒅𝒐 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒏𝒐𝒅𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈, 𝒊 𝒎𝒆𝒂𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒏𝒆𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒆𝒆 𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒔𝒘𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒚 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒗𝒐𝒖𝒔 𝒊 𝒘𝒂𝒔".

Yoel chuckled at the mail and Tobi glance up at him.

"Bro Yoel! Bro Yoel!". Tobi called, moving his brow twice.

"Is that your girlfriend? ". He grinned and Yoel narrowed down at him.

"NO! It's Tracey". He said, almost immediately and Tobi exclaimed disappointedly.

"Oh! ".

"Are you saying you don't even have any girlfriend? ". Tobi asked not wanting to believe.

"As you can see, I have one and it's my baby, Tracey". Yoel rolled his eyes and Tobi lip curved sideways in dismay.

"Why do I have the thoughts that she is the one that won't allow you to have a girl yet at the age of 24". Tobi muttered but Yoel heard him well and clear. He had already texted Tracey back a new mail and should come meet him at his room but not without warning her that the boys are with him.

"Say whatever you wanna say moron, just get the jealousy off your brain cell before it damage it". Yoel said emotionlessly and Tobi was about responding when the door burst open and Tracey walked in.

"Hi guys". She smiled, standing at the door.

"Hi Tracey". Tobi and Thompson both responded.

"Hey baby, come sit". Yoel signalled, patting the space next to him on the bed.

She did just that.

"You okay? ". Yoel asked after noticing she was fidgeting her fingers into each other. She does that only when she's nervous or feeling discomfy.

"Huh yeah yeah". She nodded and Yoel gave her a last glance before turning to the guys. He knew deep down she wasn't saying the truth.

"So guys, it's Saturday. Is there any fun place to spend the weekend. Maybe go shopping or something". Yoel asked and Thompson hummed in agreement.

"Uh-huh. Why didn't we think of that? I gat enough cash to cover up for the bill from my debit card so it's a go - go". Thompson clicked at his tongue before exiting the room.

"Don't forget about me too rich kid". Tobi smiled, following Thompson behind, now left with just Yoel and Tracey in the room.

Almost immediately, Yoel's phone beeped and after checking, he realise it was a mail from Thompson.

📨

" 𝑾𝒆 𝒈𝒂𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒎𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒂𝒈𝒆 𝒃𝒓𝒐, 𝒘𝒆 𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒂 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒉𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒚𝒑𝒊𝒆 𝒔𝒐 𝒘𝒆 𝒅𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒗𝒆. 𝑨𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒊 𝒔𝒂𝒊𝒅 𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒍𝒊𝒆𝒓, 𝒊 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒐𝒏𝒍𝒚 𝒃𝒍𝒖𝒇𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒈𝒆𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒔𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒃𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈. 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒊𝒔 𝒐𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒄𝒐𝒔 𝒘𝒆'𝒓𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒈𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒐𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈".

" Grr.. that īdîot ". Yoel growled lowly after done reading the mail.

"Anything the matter?". Tracey asked, noticing how upset he sound.

"Um. Nope. Just some annoying mail from an īdîot.". He shrugged before fixing his gaze on her.

"Spit it out already, okay? ". He urged and Tracey groaned.

" I..I don't know how you're gonna take this..I ..".

" Tracey oh please". Yoel rolled his eyes, holding her hand with that mesmerizing smile of his.

Tracey remained silent for a while before taking a deep breath.

"Here goes nothing! " She muttered before..

"Earlier June this year, there's this Nigerian guy I met online on IG and we get to know more of each other and thereafter, he asked me out and after much pleading and persuasion, I accepted him and we started dating. My feelings for him grew really deep and I'm sure he feels same thing for me too. He had been longing to meet me and when I told him I will be coming to Nigeria this month, he was super excited. In short Yoel, am having a date on Tuesday evening". Tracey said in one breath to Yoel that was only staring shockingly.

His eyes were as wide as hell.

He couldn't process a sentence for some minutes as he keeps staring at Tracey, mouth partly apart.

TIME: 2:25PM

Sitting by the backseat window, Gypsy placed her elbow on the door's handle and rested her chin on her folded fist, viewing the city as the car moves swiftly on the busy street of Ibadan.

She had been having strange dreams lately and she sometimes feel weird when alone. The creepy stares from Tinuke earlier add to it and she can't just take her mind off it.

Why does she feel there's more to that stares from Tinuke! It's all just unpredictable and the voices in her head won't stop with the indistinct words causing her headache.

She's totally confuse and in pain, yet there's no one she can share this with... Hey... Wait..., maybe there's someone alright.. that can certainly soothe her.

She understands it being a while she had visit the unknown person but no matter how long it can be, she knows the person will always be ready to welcome her home.

Time waits for no man, she gat to do it now.

"Um.. can you please pull over? ". Gypsy demanded from Emmanuel who was the driver.

"Sure.. but why? ". He questioned, pulling over.

" There's.. someone I need to meet". She reacted, making to step out when Berry pulled her back.

"Here, to avoid disturbances". She offered, outstretching a mask and scarf out to her.

Gypsy glanced at her before taking it. " Thanks". She muttered, making use of them before alighting.

"Wonders! Can't believe you actually did something good for the first time". Melody teased, only to hear words from her as the car starts to drive away.

Instead of replying, she picked out her phone and logged into her IG account. Francesca's pictures she uploaded back at the mansion had already gained 100 million views with numerous comments, complimenting her on her birthday.

"Aww.. at least here are some reasonable people to read their comments". Blueberry muttered, before checking out the comments.

Meanwhile, no one recognized Gypsy in her costume as she waited for a taxi to flag down.

"Gilbert street". She directed to the cab man she already flagged down.

AUNTIE'S COCO MALL AND MART

TIME: 3:00PM

Exactly 3 in the afternoon, they hit the mall and all got down from the car.

"Cool place". Yoel compliment, glancing around.

"Don't give any comments yet, wait till you see the interior". Thompson said as he and Tobi both lead the way inside the mall.

"Wow, this is extremely awesome". Yoel 'wowed' looking extremely pleased, and it seems Tracey was too as she looked around with a big smile on.

" Good afternoon and welcome to the auntie's Coco mall and mart". A female attendant greeted with a big dimpled smile on.

"Hey beautiful". Tobi winked at her. " We're here to grab some few things". He added, making eyes contact
