She removed her phone and checked the caller. It was Emmanuel, Segun urged her to pick it and activate loudspeaker mode.
"Hello." she greeted calmly.
"You have just drawn the battle line. I promise you that one of us gats to cry at the end. I dated you for a whole year without cheating but because you have found a guy of your social level you jilted me and clinged unto him. I tell you are gonna regret it." he shouted from the other end.
"Emma what nonsense are you saying? I thought you have broken up with me." she asked.
"Me saying nonsense? I broke up with you doesn't mean i have cleared you to have another relationship." he replied.
"Mr man shut up and stop saying rubbish." Segun said.
"Wow! So you are there with her? I promise you'll cry." Emma said.
They continued in their hot verbal exchange before Segun angrily cut the call.
"This guy is a beast." Segun said irritatedly.
They got to the bus/stop and Segun hopped into a waiting cab.
"Thanks for making my day." Nike said.
"Its nothing." Segun replied.
THIRTY FIVE MINUTES LATER SEGUN GOT HOME
"Welcome bro." Mary greeted.
"How are you?" he asked.
"Am fine." she replied.
"Is mummy back?" he asked.
"Yes. Where did you go?" she asked with concern.
"A friend's birthday." he said and left for his room.
He got to his room changed his clothes and took a shower. He laid down to take a nap then he started reminiscing of the incidents of the day.
Ranging from the way Nike introduced him to other guests, Nike's dad's questions, their(Nike and him) conversation.
"What could have cause this girl to shed tears?" he asked himself before nature did his work by taking him to the wonderland.
TWO HOURS LATER HIS MOTHER WAS BACK.
"Bro Segun." Mary called knocking on his door.
He woke up and opened the door for her. She stood at the doorpost and delivered the message.
"Mummy wants you downstairs." she informed.
"But why can't you tell her am sleeping?" he asked angrily.
"I told her but she wouldn't listen." Mary explained.
"Okay, tell her am coming." he said with a tone of dismissal. He shut his door and went into the bathroom to rinse his face.
He came out minutes later and headed for the sitting room.
"Welcome ma." he greeted as he descended the stairs.
"Where did you go today?" she asked.
"I went to a friends place." he replied.
"So because of a friend you refused going on a proposed date with your girlfriend? You are a disappointment." his mother said angrily.
"I have told you times without number, it is over between Jummy and I." he explained.
"It is a must you date her." she replied.
"But mum, why are you so concerned about me dating this girl? Moreso, you once told me, she doesn't fit me." he asked his mum.
"You want to know why?" she asked.
"Yes." her answered.
"I'll tell you." she replied and clearde her throat.
<FLASHBACK>

How you feeling nw kay? Am kipin ma fingerz crossed till monday.

Nice write up. I grant u d permission to paste d link 2 your story on my thread. Hope am nt rude by that?

Nkpume Iko: The one thing i like about this work is that it captures, aptly, the antics of teenagers.

Their rash decisions, acute jealousy, and of course, their tendencies to love carelessly.

Morealso, is the simple writing style that matches suitably with the subject.

Kudos.

Thanks boss.

Nice story but there are some typos, but with time, i know you'll improve.
More updates.

U ar doing good but make ur updates more lengthy and consistent.

Was just passing by wen i saw the banner of ur thread. I decided to see hw interesting ur story will be but the moment i saw clemzy and winnie i know ur story iz gonna make mad sense.

Nike approached Segun with anger written all over her face.
"Why did you leave me alone on the dance floor?" she asked.
"The place has become over crowded." he explained.
"And that made you leave without telling me?" she asked.
Mercy returned with a bottle of wine and two glass cups.
"Guess you guys have met yourselves." Nike said.
"Yeah." Segun replied.
"I think i should leave you guys to your discussion." Mercy said taking her leave.
"What about the wine?" Segun asked.
"You two use it and step down." mercy replied laughing.
"Naughty girl." Nike said.
Silence took over the atmosphere between them.
"Segun." she called.
"Yes." he replied.
"Do you know you suprised me today?" she asked.
"No i don't. Why?" he replied.
"I never believed you'll come." she replied.
"Nothing can stop me from coming to your party." he replied.
"I really appreciate your coming." she said.
Segun unhooked his bagpack and brought out a parcel wrapped with a gift wrapper.
She collected it and opened it in his presence.
"Wow! This is beautiful." she said smilling. In her hand is a wristwatch and a necklace.
She held his hands in hers and looked into his eyes tears dropped from her eyes. Segun was suprised seeing her cry. She quickly removed her hands.
"Am sorry." she said wiping the tears with her hands.
They continued their chit-chat until Segun announced he wanted to leave.
"How i wish you don't leave." she said sadly.
"Me too. But i have no choice." he replied.
"Come and inform daddy that you are going." she advised.
They both stood up and headed to the main house. They entered the sitting room and found her parents watching a news programme on channels.
"Daddy, am leaving.." he said.
"So soon?" her mother asked.
"Yes ma, i have some things to attend to." he explained.
"Okay." she replied.
"Let me call someone to drive you home." her father said.
"I'll sort my self out sir." Segun replied.
"Nike go and get him a take away." her mum commanded.
"Don't bother ma." segun replied.
They both walked out of the house into the street heading towards the bus/stop.
Some minutes later, Nike's phone rang and checking the caller, she discovered it was Emmanuel.

"Is it true that you love my princess?" the man asked.
"We are just friends sir." Segun replied.
"Friends? I heard your good deeds and the way you saved her from that rascal." he said.
"I just did what anybody in my shoes will do." Segun explained.
"But you took a great risk by standing up against those guys and i must commend you." he said extending his hands for a handshake.
"Thank you sir." Segun said shaking hands with him.
"But i'll want you to think about dating my daughter because she has been disturbing me and i get my daughter the best things." he explained.
"Okay sir." Segun replied.
They both continued discussing until the celebrant showed face.
"Dad. Excuse me i want to dance with him." Nike said smiling.
"Oh! You are free to." her father replied.
She took Segun by the hand and dragged him to the dance floor despite Segun pleading to be freed as he doesn't know how to dance.
Immediately they got to the dance floor, everybody left for their seats to watch the celebrant dance.
"Nike, please i don't know how to dance." Segun whispered.
"Please just shake your body in line with the beat." She pleaded.
"I will just be making a fool of myself." he stressed further.
"Segun please." she pleaded.
"Okay." he replied.
Segun tried his possible best to dance in line with the rythm while Nike danced perfectly as if she was born to dance.
The rest of the guest joined them in dancing and when the dance floor became rowdy, Segun had to pull out and he walked to a seat without notifying Nike.
He sat down on an empty seat and brought out his phone.
"Hey!" she called.
"Hello." he replied.
"Can i sit with you?" she asked.
"Why not?" he replied pointing to another empty chair.
"My name is Mercy and you?" she said sitting down.
"My name is Segun." he replied.
"So you are my cousin's boyfriend?" she asked smiling.
"No, am just a friend." he replied.
"Don't tell me that. You need to see how Nike talks about you every now and then." she told him.
Segun kept mute trying to digest what he just heard.
"Tell me, don't you feel something for her?" she asked.
"I do but that doesn't mean i'll make it known to her." Segun lied.
"Be right back let me get you something to drink." she said and ran towards the main house to get him a drink.
Nike walked towards him with a angry face.

CHAPTER 8=> DEDICATED TO HAMEENAT94, HEYWHY.KUM, YEMXY005.....
Segun came out of his room dressed in a sky blue long sleeves shirt with a black jacket on a black varsace pant trouser and a black paul smith pimpsole shoe.
He was looking cute and handsome with his sunshade.
He got out into the compound looked at himself in the side mirror of the Nissan Murano parked outside, feeling satisfied with his looks he walked out of the gate and headed towards the junction of his street.
He boarded a bus towards Agodi GRA. He dropped in the bus-stop and walked towards the GRA. He got outside the gate and dialled Nike's number.
"Hello,where are you?." she said from the other end.
"Am at the gate." he informed.
Segun could hear her scream and telling some people that he is around.
The gate opened and she stepped out.
"Happy birthday." he said.
"Thanks." she replied smilling.
They both walked in with Segun carrying a bagpack. They walked towards the garden behind the house where tables and chairs were arranged.
She took Segun to a section of the garden where some guys and girls are seated. She introduced them as her classmates in school. She took him to another part where her cousins and distant family members were seated before they rounded up the introduction spree at the section where her neighbours were seated.
She led him through the pathway between the lawns walking towards the main house.
They entered the sitting room where her parents and some other elders were seated.
"Good afternoon sir." he greeted postrating.
"Segun, i thought you wouldn't come. How are you?"
"Am fine sir." he replied.
Nike led him back into the garden. He sat down on an empty seat while Nike quickly ordered refreshments for him. Nike left him occassionally to welcome her guests.
At exactly 12pm the party was declared opened by Ambrose(Nike's big bro).
The party continued until when the celebrant was called upon to cut the cake in company of two best friend of hers.
Nike got up and walked towards the stage. She collected the microphone and called on Segun and Matilda (her cousin) . The cake was cut and photographs were taken. The dj began showing his skills by playing varieties of party nigerian hip-hop music. Everyone present was tempted to dance.
Nike's dad beckoned on Segun to come to his table. He asked him personal questions like his family background and future ambition before the man dropped the bomb by asking Segun a life and direct question which requires a quick answer.

I neva knew great writer like you still exist on NL but now u av cleared my doubt. Kip em coming, u ar doing perfectly gr8

--continuation--
Segun entered the sitting room and met his mother and Jummy seated discussing only God knows what.
"Good afternoon mum." he prostrated.
"Welcome. How was your paper?" she asked.
"It was fine. You didn't go to shop?" he asked.
"I had to come back to attend to somethings." she explained.
"Okay ma." he said leaving the sitting room.
"Segun." his mother called him back.
He face her waiting for what she had to say.
"Are you blind or you don't see your girlfriend?" she asked.
"Girlfriend? I don't think i have one at the moment." he said.
"So who is she?" she asked pointing to Jummy.
"She is one of those girls i met during the exam." he explained.
"Are you alright? So you have started changing girls like you are changing clothes?" she asked.
"I am okay." he replied.
"Okay. As your mother i hereby command you that you should continue your relationship with Jummy with immediate alacrity." she said angrily.
"That's not possible. I own my life and i know what is good for me." he said angrily.
"Are you a bastard?" she asked.
"That a question for you." he replied.
His mother frowned her face. And stood up angrily moving towards him.
"Am i the one you are talking to?" she asked.
He kept mute to the question.
His mother angrily picked up a mug and threw it at him. He quickly dodged it and the mug came crashing on the wall.
He quickly ran to his room and shut the door. His mother ran after him and knocked on his door angrily.
She walked back to meet Jummy in the sitting room.
"Don't worry my dear. He will surely become yours. Tell your mum that everything will be settled." She consoled jummy.
"Okay ma." Jummy said and left.
Segun overheard all what his mum said to Jummy.
"Does that mean that her parents are connected to mine. No way am gonna date such girl. Nike is the right person for me." he said angrily.
