CRYSTAL
I shut my eyes after ending the call and try to think.
"Who is this girl?" I asked myself and I heard a voice from no where.
"Are you still wondering who the girl is?"
I opened my eyes and blinked.
"Do I know who the person is? I asked myself too.
I closed my eyes again but I heard nothing again. I switched off my phone and retired to sleep.
On Monday morning, I dressed up to work and joined Oba in the car.
"Good morning" I said with a smile as I take the front seat.
"Good morning. Hope you slept well?" He replied.
"Yes I did and you?"
"Yeah, thanks. Shall we?"
Yea, we are stopping at the clinic first" I informed.
"I know... I know you are getting the cast off today" he said and turned on the ignition. He honked and the gate man open the gate.
We got to the hospital, I was attended to. First we took another x-ray. The doctor checked it and gave me a note the pop room to remove the cast.
I was so happy, I went to the pop room, where the cast was removed. I was giving a sling to wear on the arm. It's a shoulder immobilizer which I paid for.

I went back to the doctor's office he checked it out and wrote me a referral letter to physiotherapy so I could start exercising the hand. Oba and I thanked the doctor and went to the physiotherapy department. I registered and paid for the sections.

I was assigned to a physiotherapist who attended to me briefly and asking me to come back the next day to start the therapy.
We left the hospital for work. He dropped me off and left.

____________________Toyin Taiwo
He came back to pick me up but I was so busy at the office. We didn't leave until 8pm.
The drive home was quiet. And that's how Oba has been since morning that he picked me up at home. I was quiet too because I was so tired. I wanted to ask him about the mysterious girl but given by his cold attitude, I decided to let him be.

He parked in front of the house since he's taking the car with him. I picked my bag and other things I kept on the back seat.
"Good night" I said and alighted. I stood in front of the gate about to knock but I stopped. I thought a good friend should not ignore a friend who has been behaving strangely since morning. I looked back, he was still there waiting for me to go in before leaving.
I went back to the car, I walk up to the driver's side opened the door. I tilted my head a bit so I could hold his gaze.
"What's with this attitude Oba" I said calmly, looking straight into his eyes and his gaze met mine. He didn't say a word.
"Who is this lady you are not suppose to like, Oba?"
He held my face in his hands and brought it close to his face. He made to kiss me, I involuntarily closed my eyes. Then I felt his lips on my cheek.
"Gracious God! That was so closed" I said in my mind and opened my eyes. I took his hands off my face and closed the door. He drove off immediately. I watched as he drove into the night until the car disappeared.

I rushed into my room and lay lazily on my bed. It was a kiss on the cheek but it revived something in me. It’s non explainable. The peck was like a key that unlock my heart that was closed for a very long time.

All along I thought it was just friendship but the peck triggered the feeling that was buried inside of me. Now I had to admit that I had feelings for him. So I'm really the mystery girl.
That night I couldn't sleep. How will this work. Oba still has a long way to go, he won't settle down until he achieve his goals. He once told me that.
He sent me a text. I guessed he couldn't sleep too and I called him back.

OBA
I know everything is over, my friendship with Crystal and the love her parents have for me is all over, I just ruined everything.
I wonder what will happen if she tells her parent that I took advantage of her. I was assigned to drive her and not her feelings. I wish I could reverse what I did. What will happen to the father-son relationship I have with Daddy Afam.
I was doing a lot of serious thinking on my bed infact I skipped dinner that night.
I don't know what possessed me, I wish she never came back to the car. When she looked straight into my eyes, I lost it completely. I couldn't hide the feelings any longer.

I picked my phone and started texting. It reads:
'I'm sorry about tonight. I'm so ashamed of myself right now. And for this I'm resigning as your driver as I can't face you tomorrow. I'll send a friend over to bring the car and drive you to work till you arrange for another driver. I'm truly sorry I didn't mean to take advantage of our friendship'

After typing I sent the message. Two minutes later, Crystal's call came through. I didn't pick it till it disconnected. She calls back again and I summoned courage to pick the call.
"Oba, I want you here tomorrow morning. Don't you dare send anyone to my house. Remember I'm starting physio tomorrow and you promised to stay with me all through the healing process of my hand. The least you can do is to keep your promise. I'll see you tomorrow. Good night" She said and ended the call.

I looked at my phone again and scratched my head. She didn't even want to hear me talk. I don't know what’s on her mind. I can't place her emotions, I don't even know if she’s angry with me or not. I hope tomorrow won't come on time cos I don't even know how to face her.
Fine, I know I shouldn't have express my feelings. We are not even in the same league for Christ sake obviously she's someone I can't have.

The next day, I headed to her house in her car. She was already downstairs by the time I drove into the compound. She hopped into the car with a straight face.
"Good morning" she said
"Good morning" I replied. "I'm sorry about....
"Oba we are getting late" she said, interrupting me.
I turned on the ignition and hit the road.

I don't have problem with Oba and Crystal, but the issue is will her friends be able to accept Oba completely not because of the social status, but I guess they all want her back with Soma.My opinion though. Anyone seeing it this way?
