"Well, go on", I urged Dave on, while I took a step farther away from him. I wasn't going to take any chances now. Who knows, he just pretending to come clean with me and then come at me at the slightest opening he sees.

"Okay", he sighed and looked at his feet, hands on his waist. His stance resembled those of elders in a nollywood royal movie, especially when they are told bad news. Well, if nollywood is anything to go by, then whatever he's about to say won't be good.

"Here's the thing", he began. "My dad and I, we are...", he sighed again, hesitating. "We are ..we are wanted men", he voiced out.
"The FBI has been on our trail for quite some time now and they came real close to nabbing him at Stanford. That was the issue I talked about."

"Wait...why would the FBI be after you?", I asked.

"Well, we move weight", he said and looked at me, probably, to gauge my reaction. "You know, like drug dealers?" He continued, sensing my confusion at his first answer.

"Oh", I muttered, increasing the distance between us. Now I want expecting this at all.

"Yeah", Dave said. "That, and multiple counts of murder too".

Uh oh

Then something unexpected happened. All of a sudden, he started laughing. Like real hysterical kinda laughter, like an insane person and that got me more scared. Movies have taught me that most killers, especially the serial ones are pyschos and sociopaths. I didn't think it applied to Africans too but here I am now, faced with a real life one.

"God- you...you should've seen your face", he said in between laughs. I just stared at him, utterly confused as he struggled to catch his breath with his hands on his knees.
"I'm- I'm sorry man but your face, that expression is just priceless. I couldn't pass up on the opportunity", he laughed. "Man, you're so gullible. How did you even buy that?"

"Wait" I blinked. "You mean you just lied to me?" I asked as the realization that he was just messing with me hit me.

"Uh..yeah. Look at me man, do I seem like drug dealing type? Bro I don't even have a single tattoo. Besides, I'm too fresh for that", he joked. But something in me wasn't still sitting well with whole thing and just couldn't let it go.

"Still doesn't explain the weirdness and mystery around you and your dad. Like how are you even able to afford this car and then live in a school dorm? How is your dad's dorm apartment that exquisitely furnished and how did even get into this school mid semester? And you guys seem to know alot about me, HOW! ?" I almost yelled. Sh*t is driving me crazy.

"Oh then you should have just asked", Dave shrugged. "The dorm room is mine along  with the whole building. Well, not me though,  my dad purchased 45% ownership of the Regal Group, making him the single majority shareholder. So basically,  this dorm and the whole school is mine. That's why I can do my dorm room like that", he said cool, like it was nothing. I just stared wide eyed at this sudden unexpected revelation.

"So- ", I began but cleared my throat cause I think the shock I felt earlier had clogged my voice. "So you mean you're rich? Like really rich?"

"Uh....let's just say my family is pretty comfortable", he shrugged.

"Exactly what a filthy rich person would say", I voiced slowly in awe. "But wait, hold up a minute, why would your dad be crashing up at the dorm though?"

"Well, he wanted to scout the place for me, you know to make sure the environment was good enough for me so I don't get into trouble again, like what happened at Stanford", he said and his face fell as he said that last part. Whatever happened at Stanford must gave really huge else why all these clandestine moves just to go to school here.

"That was why he looked you up too, he thinks you'd be a good influence on me and frankly, I agree with him and I'm sorry if we made you feel like you couldn't trust us in anyway. We just wanted to close with you and do right by you".

"Do right by me?", I asked confused. "You guys haven't done anything wrong to me before".

"Yeah..uhn...that came out wrong", he stuttered and chuckled nervously. "I guess I got too caught up emotionally and started saying nonsense", he added, avoiding my eyes as he spoke. That's strange.

"Yeah okay", I agreed,  deciding to let it go. I've had enough for one day. "Let's get going, we've wasted enough time already", I said as I got into the car.

"Yeah", he said. "Wanna drive?", he offered and my heart leapt with joy.

"Absolutely man", I affirmed and switched to the driving seat.

"Well, knock yourself out", he smiled.

I pressed the start button and the car came to life. It was nothing like the noise my car made whenever I started it. This was another level of ease and peace. As I began to move, it was like I was floating through the road in my own enclosed serene space. Ah! This life sha.
__________________________________________

"Can believe you made me come out on my free day just for this", I complained as we got out of the administrative building. We were already done with the whole admission process and it didn't even take up to an hour. It turned out that the news of who he was had already reached our VC and everything had already been arranged for him. Dude just needed to pen down some signatures and everything was done.

"You can't tell me you didn't know about this", I went on.

"Okay, maybe I knew but I just thought we could use it as an opportunity to hang out. Like show me round the school, you know?", he replied.

"Whatever, but just know you owe me", I sighed.

"Sure", he agreed happily. "I'd like it if we check out the spot where the pretty ladies hang".

"You man LovePeddler", I laughed. "Remind me not ever show you to my girlfriend". And almost immediately, we saw Mia and Gina coming out from one of our lecture buildings. They were accompanied by some other people and I spot my dump cousins, Rex and Cynthia among them.

I considered pretending like I didn't see them and just get in the car and drive cause I didn't have the strength to deal with Rex but then they seemed to be coming our way and who knows, maybe Mia already saw me.

"Cmon man, let's get going already", Dave urged.

"Uh...Mia's coming", I said uneasily.

"Oh, where is she?", he asked turning around. "Oh wow, she's smoking hot", he said excitedly when he looked towards her direction.

"Uh..I know. Don't look at her again", I said and hurriedly stood in front of him to shield his view of her.

"Hey babe", Mia said happily as soon as she saw me. She quickened her steps and hugged me. "What a pleasant surprise, I thought you didn't have any classes today".

"Yeah", I answered and wrapped an arm round her, pulled her closer to me, not to show off but for reasons best known to me. I'm very serious I'll throw my shoe at Dave if he tries to flirt with Mia.

"Who's your friend?", she asked.

"Nobody", I answered quickly.

"Oh please don't mind him, he's very rude. I'm Dave and you must be Mia", he said charmingly as he bowed low for her. He stretched his hand to give her a handshake and I accepted it in her, in what was more of a reflex action. Honestly, I didn't even know when I did that.

"Mia, really?", Gina said as she and friends finally caught up with us. "You just left us hanging just because you saw him?"

"Sorrryyy", Mia said, pouting. "I couldn't help myself", she giggled and pecked me. She seemed so happy to see me and that warmed my heart.

"Its all your fault K", Gina faced me. "You're a bad influence on her".

I was about to answer her when Dave nudged me and cleared his throat.

"What?", I whispered to him.

"Introduce me to her", he whispered back.

"Hey Gina, what's good?", I greeted. "Uhm..meet my friend Dave. Dave, Gina".

"I'm just going to be straight with you Gina, I'm in love with you", Dave spat out and I face palmed myself in shame. I'm beginning to think the issue he had at Stanford definitely had something to do with a woman. Did he have to flirt with every girl?

"Uhh, thank you?", Gina said, more like asked as her face screamed confusion.

"Gina baby, let's go. I feel sick of all a sudden. I think the air here has been contaminated", Rex spoke for the first time. I smiled cause I knew that subtle dig was aimed at me and I felt Mia tighten her hold on me. I looked at her and she shook her head slowly, signalling that I shouldn't react and I just smiled in return to reassure her.

Another merit that being Mia's boyfriend brought was that Rex and his goons no longer disturbed me. Obviously,  Mia must have warned them to keep to their lane and not trouble me at all. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

"But, we-",

"I said let's go now", Rex thundered and she gasped.

"Hey man, that's no way to speak to a lady", Dave said looking quite pissed.

"Mind your business, new boy", Rex retorted. "Don't start what you cant finish".

"Its okay, let's go babe. Mia, I'll call you later", she said as she headed out with Rex and their friends.

"Dude, you need to chill sometimes", I said to Dave. I get he was trying to stand up for Gina but it wasn't his place to do so and it definitely was his business either.

"Oh, its about to become my business cause I like her and I won't stop till I get her", he smiled confidently.

"Bro, you just met her and besides, she already has a boyfriend. She's already spoken for", I emphasized.

"Haven't heard of love at first sight before? And as for her being taken, I guess I'll just have to take her from her taker then. May the best man wins", he smiled and got in the car. "Let's go home, I don't need a tour of the school anymore, I've already seen my soulmate".

"Is he always this forward? Like doesn't he have a filter or anything?", Mia whispered to me and I shook my head.

"Uh sorry bro, you can go ahead. I'll just head on with Mia".

"Oh ok then. See you later and nice meeting you Mia. I can see why he's whipped to the core, you're a goddess", he said with a smile and drove off.

"Bye", Mia waved, smiling and then I gave her a face. Why's she smiling?

"What?", she questioned, looking at me.

"Mhmm. So he's not forward again just because she complimented you?"

"Well..", she began what I presume to be her defence. "I don't know,  that's besides the point", she whined, seeing she couldn't up with anything. "Let's go to yours I'm starving".

"You're such a foodie", I teased and she punched me lightly.

In no time we reached my place and almost as soon as we entered my apartment,  the doorbell rang.

"Babe, can you please help me get the door", I requested from the kitchen where I was getting a bottle of water.

"But I'm tireddd", she whined and I just sighed, knowing I was going to be the one to get it after all.

"If lazy was a person, it would be you", I said and threw her a cushion pillow as I skipped to the door.
I had a feeling it was Dave, coming to disturb me with something I'm pretty sure he can handle bu himself and was ready to tell him off now. This Mia time and no interruptions are allowed. So without even asking, I just yanked the door open only to be met face to face with the least person I expected to see now.

"Surpriseeee", the person said, smiling like a Cheshire cat.

"Oh no", I muttered...TBC

Weldone moura7

Odoogu:
[/b]Shey K no go ever get peace of mind like now?[b]

Good one bro!!

Lol....e never even see anything yet.

I first saw this story last year when the chapters when still very young and i followed it for a while as a guest.
I must commend the writer because he's doing a great job with this intellectual piece.
This story is one that has me reacting i real life like how I feel the characters would have if it was a movie, I read and try to create live picture of them in my head especially the character 'Mia', if she was a real person I would have been her biggest fan and would love to meet her.
Though at this stage of the story I feel a whole chapter should be dedicated to Mia and K just having a good lazy day in k's apartment without interruptions, like they used to when they first met (with a fusion of good kisses and serious cuddles and maybe kpa kpa, I would love mia to be pregnant) before the obvious wahala that will threaten their love.
And please help me revive the characters of nonye, dayo and dayo's family... Thank you @moura7 and God bless you.
And @jullyrosy you're a real one, you are one of the person that gingered the writer to keep going, stay blessed.

"Grandpa?", I voiced in a mixture of surprise, confusion and fear. The fear came as a result of my grandma emerging from the other side of the door with a bag in hand and a frown on her face.

"Uh..wo...wow" I stuttered, struggling for words to say. "You...you guys didn't tell me you're coming".

"My friend , will you get out of the way", my grandma sparked a she forcefully pushed me aside to enter the house. For an old woman, she sure had a lot of strength in her. I looked to my grandpa for an explanation and he just shrugged and entered the house too.

"What's wrong with her?", I asked in a whisper as I sat down near grandpa.

"She's angry with you", he whispered back.

"Yeah, I can see that. But why?", I replied.

""Well, you haven't called or reached out in over a month now. She was worried sick about you. I was too".

I sighed heavily as the realization of my irresponsible and inconsiderate behaviour hit me. Ah, I've really been a bad child. I quietly got up to join my grandma on the couch she was seated on. She even chose the farthest one from him and even as I approached her now, she shifted to the other end of the couch. I smiled and shook my head at her pettiness.

"My sweet sweet love", I said with a smile, as I shifted towards her. She quickly turned her face away from me and when I tried to hold her hand, she quickly snatched it away.

'Okay, she's really angry' , I thought to myself. I looked to my grandpa for help but he just spread his hands out little, signalling cluelessness.

"The only love of my life", I began. "I'm really sorry about my behaviour. It was very selfish of me, please forgive me", I pleaded but I got the same reply. Silence.

"Omalicha'm, it's okay now. We've seen that he's alive and okay so just forgive him already, I know you're dying to. So just stop all this your shakara į nų go?" My grandpa chipped on my behalf and I sent him a thumbs up, which he replied with a wink. My grandpa is just so cool.

"Eh, yes, what he said", I said and she just gave me a look as If to say 'Just try me'.

"Sorry", I said immediately and put my head down. "But grandma, please forgive me now. I'm sorry".

"Abeg leave me jor", she said but this time she wasn't turning her face away from me again. That's a start. "Look at how thin you're looking yet you can't even stop by the house so you can eat something eh. Honey look at him now", she said as she turned me to my grandpa so he'd have a clearer view of my 'dry bones'. A whole brawn guy like me but I'll just let her have her way. It would be very unwise to try to argue with her now.

"I know right, it's just that I've been really caught up with work and school lately", I replied and she frowned.

"Shey I told you to quit that job and focus on school. I told you we'll take of your finances but this your proud coconut head will not listen, now see. Now my enemies will start gossiping that I'm not taking good care of my grandson", she continued and I laughed at that last part. This woman,  always a drama queen. She would have bagged an Oscar by now if she had been using her talent all this while.

"Take jor", she said as she handed me the bag she was holding earlier. I smiled as I began opening it and the aroma of fried rice began to hit me. I opened fully the flask inside and let out a breath of satisfaction. I quickly took out the spoon I saw in the bag and hurriedly scooped spoon upon spoons of rice. I had forgotten that I hadn't eaten all day.

"Honey, you see", she called her husband to look at me eating. "Lee ka o n'ri ka onye ohi (See how he's eating like a thief)." They laughed as I smiled and continued eating without paying them any heed. I didn't realise how much I'd missed them till now.

Just then, there was a noise in my room and my grandparents looked towards me.

"What made that noise? Is anybody here with you?", my grandpa and I shook my head in negation as I tore a chunk of meat with my teeth. That was when it hit me that I had actually returned here with Mia. Just like that, the meat fell off my mouth. Oh, she's so going to kill me. My grandparents sudden visit and grandma's temporary anger made me forget Mia was here with me.

'Oh sh*t", I cursed as I quickly stood up and made for my bedroom.

"Ah, what's wrong?", my grandma asked.

"Uh..ehh...nothing much. My tummy has been acting funny for a while now and its starting again so I want to use the toilet", I lied and without waiting to hear what she had to say, I dashed to my room and closed the door.

There Mia was, sitting on the bed looking nervous which was surprising to me because I thought she'd be pissed.

"Hey babe, I'm so so sor...."

"Its okay, its fine", she cut me off but she still looked nervous.

"Okay? But why do you look so nervous though..what's wrong?" I asked, worried about her countenance.

"Nothing. Its just...I don't know. I don't know if they'll like me", she said as she bit her nails at intervals. "What do you think?", she asked. "Should I go and introduce myself?"

"Uhh...I don't think now is the best time", I said while carefully gauging her expression.

"I knew it", she whined and crashed her back on the bed. "They won't like me".

"No, no, its not that. I'm sure they'll love you", I said as I laid down too, so I was facing her and then I caressed her smooth fair face.

"Then why shouldn't I meet them now?" She asked.

"Because my grandmom was quite upset with me that I hadn't called or gone to see them since and if I introduce you to them now, she'll just think you're the reason for it and hate you automatically. We just have to give it some time, ok?"

"Mmhmm", she nodded and gave a small smile. "But I'm hungry though", she whined and I laughed.

"I'll make sure to whip up something for you as soon as they leave, ok?" I said and kissed her lips before getting up and going back to my grandparents.

"I'm back", I said as I entered the sitting room.

"Back from the toi-let?", grandma said, looked at grandpa and then they laughed.  I looked at them in confusion. 'What's going on with them now?' , I wondered.

"What?", I chuckled nervously as I sat down. "What's so funny?", I asked them.

"Oh, nothing baby", my grandma replied. "Just go on and finish your food so we can take back the flask and then be on our way. I'm sure you must be so busy". There she goes again, being so cryptic and suggestive.

'Wait, what if she knows?' , a voice in my head suggested. Just the thought of it was unsettling.

'Nah, there's no way she does. Maybe she suspects something which is why she's being so insinuating, hoping I spill the beans myself. Other than that, she knows nothing', another voice countered. I think I like this voice more. Its more reasonable and calculating but I don't know how it always disappears when I'm in the exam hall. Just kidding lol.

I just picked up from where I left with meat while my grandparents talked about topic and topic till they got the hint that it was time for them to go.

Mia must have starved to death by now.

"Okay o, Onyekachi, it's time for us to go", grandma said as they stood up. "If you like, abandon us again, it's your business".

"Oh God", I sighed and she laughed. She was never going to let that go. "Let me see you off", I offered.

"Ah, don't worry just go back and attend to your guest", she smiled and I was shocked.

"Whi-which guest?", I stuttered.

"Wi-wi-wi", she mimicked my stuttering and laughed. "You think I'll miss that pretty handbag lying on that couch there?", she and gestured towards where Mia's bag was. HOW DID I MISS THAT!!?

"Mhmm", she sneered. "Talk now", she continued. "Anyways, let's be going biko. Tell Nonye and I'm greeting her since she doesn't want to come out and say hi. Or is she ashamed..what were you people doing before we came?", she asked smiling and I just stood there looking at her confused. Which Nonye? What is she talking about?

"Nonye?", I asked confused.

"Yes now", she affirmed. "Is not the one you're hiding?" She asked and then it dawned on me. She thought it was Nonye I was hiding.

"Uh..yeah yeah", I replied nervously,  feeling a tad bit guilty about lying to her.

"My boy finally grew some balls and asked her out eh", my grandpa hugged me by the side. "Anyways, take care of yourself son and please always try to come home once in a while ok? We miss you all the time".

"I will grandpa. Bye, love you both", I said and hugged them.

"Love you too", they both replied and then they left. I got back inside and dumped myself on a couch and heaved a sigh of relief. I felt something under and shifted to see it was my grandpa's phone.

"Typical grandpa", I muttered as I stood up to go after them before they drive out.

As I reached the parking lot, I began searching for their car but I didn't see it. I decided to check the first floor of the parking lot, maybe they parked there. On my way there, I ran into Mr Richard getting out of his car. A sweet Mercedes SUV.

"K, my boy. How're you?", he asked and giving me a handshake. "I came to see Dave".

"I'm good, Sir", I replied. "Please did you see any car drive past you as you came in?", I asked.

"Uh..not sure. Why?"

"My grandparents came visiting and my grandpa forgot his phone. They just left my apartment few moments ago so I'm hoped to catch them before they leave", I answered, still looking around in hope to sight them.

"You..your ..your grandparents were here?", Mr Richard said in a struggle as his voice shaked.

"Uh..yes?", I answered, not sure why his countenance changed suddenly. "Oh, look here they are", I said, as I finally caught glimpse of them coming our way.
Immediately,  Mr Richard got back into his car and zoomed off. Just like that.

"Weirdo", I muttered after moments of shock. I hastened my steps to catch up with my grandparents.

"Here's your phone grandpa", I handed him his phone and he smiled. "Always forgetting things", I laughed.

"Who was that person you were talking to just now?", grandma asked.

"Oh, that was the father of my friend who stays here too. Guess he came to see his son".

"Oh", she replied, her face having a hint of worry on it.

"Why? Have you met him before?", I asked.

"Not really", she answered. "I didn't see his face. Just that hiss stature reminded me of someone"........TBC
