Thanks hun!😘

7:01pm

It had been two weeks in my new school and I was getting along really well. I got my uniform, It was a white long sleeve, a black skirt and a black tie. The uniform didn't deny my shape because I made my skirt extra tight.

Don't blame me o!

God can not give me shape, I'll now come and be hiding it.

Mimi and I had become closer and she promised to take me to her home, she introduced me to some of her friends and cousins.

Mimi had seven cousins that attended her father's school, four from her father's side and three from her mother's side.

Natalie and Natasha were twins from her dad's side, they were in my class.

David and Darnell(female) were siblings from her dad's side too, but they were in Jayden's class.

Katie, Jason and Brandon were from her mother's side, Katie was in my class while, Jason was in Jayden's class. Brandon was in SS1.

Apart from Mimi, I was close to 'the twins' and Katie.

The rest of them were not my grademates, so they were just acquaintances. Darnell was really nice to me and I liked her.

Jayden

I heard you share the same birthday and year with my sister, isn't that a beautiful coincidence?

7:34pm

Me

Lol!

The floor's wet!

7:36pm

Jayden

What?

Nah, it's too early to get the D.

Clean it up! it won't be nice if someone comes into your room and they find you masturbating to a guy's simple message.

7:36pm

Me

Tf.. you pervert!

I mean the floor's wet and I'm waiting for you you to slide outta my DM. 

7:37pm

Jayden

*Mop emoji*  

Lemme clean it up! I ain't going anywhere, because this nigga right here is ready to stay in your DM forever. 😋

7:37pm

Me

Okay, suit yourself!

7:38pm

This guy was crazy and he had a dirty mind. I took a look at his display picture, and it was a black and white portrait, he was kissing a girl under the sunset, it would have been a beautiful picture, if only the girl was cropped out of it.

Are you jealous?

Hell to the No!

So why do you want her cropped out of the picture then?

Because she makes it look ugly.

And you'll make it look beautiful abi? Ode.

Jayden

Must have heard about my back to school party on Saturday, right?

7:40pm

Me

So?

7:40pm

Jayden

What's so?

You're coming, right?

7:40pm

Me

NOOOO!!!

7:40pm

Jayden

Why?

7:40pm

Me

Because we barely know each other, we only throw ourselves smiles, and that's the weirdest thing I've ever seen, I didn't give you my number and the next thing you show up in my DM and you're telling me to attend your party!

7:42pm

Jayden

Your friends are gonna be there! it's not like I'll be the only one there.

And it's not my fault that we don't talk to each other, every time I try to talk to you, you either don't respond or you're throwing me savage comebacks like a primary school idiot.

7:43pm

Me

Arrrrgh.

If only you'll stop being rude, then maybe we would talk more.

7:44pm

Jayden

Me? rude? You're the one that's always rude + ignorant.

7:44pm

Me

Go and argue with your ancestors!

7:44pm

Jayden

Lol.

But you're coming, right?

7:44pm

Me

Maybe!

7:47pm

Jayden

Okay! Good night sweets.

See you in school 2moro.

7:47pm

OMG, I just talked to Jayden Coker via text message. I wasn't the first to text, like every girl in school always does. I acted like I did not care and he replied my messages within ten seconds....and he called me 'sweets'.

Wait?

Why are you tripping? I thought you said you didn't like him?

I only like him as a friend. *rolls eyes* Besides he has a gf.

I did my assignments, replied some text messages, Whatsapp messages, Instagram DMs, Facebook messages and some Snaps. I was so busy on my phone that I didn't notice my dad standing at the door of my room.

"Hey baby girl." He smiled whilst he walked to my bed and then he sat on the edge of my bed.

"Hey old man." I teased, and we both laughed.

"How are you?"

"Fine."

"You busy?"

"Not really, I can spare you nothing less than ten minutes." I replied.

My dad became my best friend after my mom passed away, when I was four years old. It was the darkest day of my life, she was trying to deliver my baby brother but she died with him in her stomach, I was right there inside the room with my dad when she died.

"Okay." He smiled sheepishly.

"You've found a girlfriend?" If there was one thing I wanted most in this world, then it was a 'MOM', I just wanted someone who I could trust and confine in, apart from my dad, someone that I could share my girlie girlie secrets with.

My dad had ran into a lot of gold diggers and it had really left him heartbroken, he had run into the ones that wanted me out of their life.

My dad had made a promise to my mom that he was never gonna let me suffer. And I loved him so much. I mean, who wouldn't love their only parent?

"Yeah, and she's gonna be coming home tonight." He was smiling too much.

"Can't wait to meet her. Since when did you guys start dating?" I curiously asked.

"Since last week." He replied, this time he was grinning.

"You're just smiling like a teenager, go and get dressed before she comes o!"

"I'm cooking, help me check the food so it doesn't get burnt." He stood up.

"Old man, you're still cooking? What are you even cooking sef?"

"Spaghetti Bolognese. I had to google the sauce recipe, come and taste it and tell me if it's good."

"Okay, I'm coming!" I stood up from my bed and we both walked downstairs, the kitchen smelt nice, I tasted his sauce and it was nice, I decided to Snapchat the delicious delicacy. My dad had already gone to freshen up, so I set the table on his behalf.

By 8:35pm, I heard the door bell ring, my dad and I had been waiting patiently on the dinning table for her, when he heard the door bell ring he jumped on his feet and he hurried to the door.

I sat there and all I could see was my dad towering over a lady a little bit taller than me. He wrapped his right arm around her shoulders and he led her to the dinning room, as they chatted warmly.

"Good evening." I greeted warmly.

"Good evening, dear. You must be Olivia, I've heard so much about you." I stood up from the dinning chair and I gave her the most welcoming hug ever.

They had better be positive things, if not imma rip dad's balls off.

After much talking and introduction, I got to know that she had a four years old son and that made me happy. She told me tales about her son, his name was Bode, she was a widow, my dad met her through 'Tinder', the dating site I showed him, her name was Princess, she was 43 and my dad was 47.

At least they fit. 

I liked her.

We all laughed, talked and ate, until my dad got an office call.

"Excuse me, ladies." He excused himself and went to the kitchen to receive his call.

"So you'll be done with high school next year?" She asked.

"Yeah, I can't wait!"

"I'm not here to take your mother's place or anything, I'm just--" I cut her off immediately.

"I understand and I don't think of you in such manner, I like you already." I said whole heartedly.

"I like you too, and I look forward to making this place lively." We both smiled, we cleared the empty plates on the dinning, we put the plates in the dishwasher and my dad ordered me to go upstairs.

1996 trick.

You think I don't know what you people want to do. Yeye.

I kissed the both of them good night and I went to my room.

Goodnight 'mom' and dad.
