Chapter 23~ Will y*u?

Isere cried all through her way back home, she was heartbroken, it was as if her heart needed to break free and come out of her chest.

When she entered her dorm, she crumbled to the floor. Ejiro stood up in shock from her bed, rushing to her friend curious about what had made her cry.

Isere cried the more as Ejiro hugged her muttering word of insults; fool, a cheat, a lier!

"What happened Katherine?" Ejiro asked with concern and worry. Isere said nothing as she constantly kept crying. She didn't know where to start or what to say.

Isere didn't sleep all through to the next morning, she cried and cried and her eyes got swollen. Today being Friday, she had lectures and she wasn't going to let her heartbreak deprive her from going to class.

She took her bath and wore her clothes which consisted of a black jean trouser and a blue polo shirt. Ejiro didn't ask her what had happened but she knew it had to do with Kelvin, so she was giving her time to open up to her.

On their way to their first lecture, Isere narrated to Ejiro what had happened. "You shouldn't have jumped into conclusion dear," Ejiro sighed.

She didn't even know what to say in the matter. "I wasn't jumping into conclusion!" Isere huffed. "He is always about Wunmi, Wunmi, and Wunmi, and if she was just a friend, why does she always meddle in his life?!"

"Katherine, calm down, I don't even know what to say myself. Fact is, you are not his girlfriend and you acted rashly," Ejiro tried proving a point.

The harsh reality became dawn to Isere, she had no right and she had acted like a fool, she was stupid indeed.

"Right! I am not. You don't have to rub it on my face." Isere spoke with hurt and walked away leaving Ejiro behind.

"I didn't mean it that way," Ejiro explained but Isere was in no mood to talk about it anymore. She was more than hurt that she had hoped on something hopeless. She was a fool for being so blind. She was just a naive stupid girl; those were all her thoughts.

Isere was on her way back to her dorm with Ejiro when she was approached by Wunmi. Her heart sank, what was she doing here? She thought.

"Hey," Wunmi greeted Isere smiling as usual.

Fake smile, Isere said to her self.

Isere said nothing but Ejiro greeted her. "Can I speak to you privately?" Wunmi asked politely.

Isere wondered what she wanted to say to her, she didn't want any private moment with Wunmi.

"I'd excuse you guys." Ejiro excused herself knowing that Isere wasn't going to.

"Let me formally introduce myself to you since Segun didn't." Wunmi started.

Again with the name Segun, mtchwee!

"My name is Ewawunmi Ayomide Falaye, Cousin to Segun!"

Isere heart began to race. cousin?! She thought. How so? It was hard to believe.

"I know it's hard to believe, my late father is Segun's father, the recent Oni of Ife younger brother. I am older than Segun with six good months, so I consider him my younger brother since we literally grew up together."

Isere stared in shocked as she tried comprehending all she had just heard. She made a huge scene out of nothing and accused him.

"And in case I never mentioned this, my boyfriend is Banji." Wunmi added.

"What?!" Isere spat out.

"You heard right, and I'm so sorry for giving you a different sign and causing an internal battle within you, but I'm not here for myself but for my brother."

"He is seriously hurt, he had just returned last evening and was about to go meet you when we told him to chill first before going over to your side." Wunmi started.

He was coming to meet me?!

"Maybe if we hadn't stopped him from going to see you first as he originally planned, this wouldn't have happened but you hurt him. I don't know what you said to him last night but your words hurt him."

Isere began to feel bad, she had called him all sort of names and had threatened him. She felt ashamed for accusing him of dating his cousin.

She knew she wouldn't be able to look at Wunmi again.

"I could go on my knees right now only for you to go and see him and please sort things out with him, I've never seen my brother so angry before."

Isere nodded her head telling her she'd go see him but where would she get the courage from?

Wunmi walked away leaving Isere to her thought. Ejiro has asked Isere how the conversation went and Isere explained all feeling ashamed for her false accusations.

She was hurt, battling with her inner self.

After a small push and encouragement from Ejiro, Isere decided to go meet Kelvin in his place.

She decided not to go empty handed, so she brought a black berry five alive juice and some suya along with her.

Isere mentally fought with herself as soon as she stepped foot into Kelvin's compound. Her heart began to beat erractically as she didn't know what to say. She was confused and mentally battled on what say.

The uncanny feeling in her gut weren't helping as she placed her hands on her belly trying to soot them. "It's now or never!" She encouraged herself.

She took a deep breath, trying to say some words of encouragement to herself.

She gently rang the bell and after waiting for some seconds, shivering within, the door opened revealing a distressed Kelvin.

He was shocked to see her, what did she want again? He thought.

Isere swallowed the lump in her throat before gathering the courage to speak up, "Hi!" She forced a smile to her face making it awkward.

Kelvin was still obstructing her path and she was starting to get extremely nervous.

"Can...can..I come in?" Isere stuttered. She heaved a sigh, trying to calm herself.

Kelvin moved out of the way for her to come in, although he was hurt, he wouldn't want to hurt her. He walked away leaving her to make herself comfortable. Isere sat down on the three seater couch where she had slept on Kelvin before.

She has never been this nervous around him but her chiddish attitude had put her in this situation.

Did she really hurt him so bad? He was just dressed in a basketball short and a tank top, his eyes bags were visible.

Isere placed the suya and juice on the small side table waiting patiently yet nervous for Kelvin to come back.

Five minutes passed, ten minutes passed and she heard no footstep, did he just leave her here unattended, she was beginning to rile up. Why did she come here only to be left unattended to?

Suddenly she heard faint footsteps. Her heart began to race, Kelvin had gone to take his bath, reason he had left her unattended to.

When he saw her on the couch, he didn't know what to say. He stared at her for a moment before speaking up.

"What do you want to eat?" He asked her after debating. Offering her food wasn't a bad idea right? He thought to himself.

"No need, I brought something along with me," she told his gesturing towards the five alive juice of the table.

"Lemme get glass cups," he told her.

Isere followed him to the kitchen, the awkwardness was killing her already. She gathered courage within her as wrapped her arms around him from behind.

"I'm so sorry! I was irrational and said stupid things, I'm so sorry for judging you without any fact." Isere spat out in one breath.

Kelvin gentle removed her arms around him and turned to face her. He couldn't find the words to say but he wasn't going to hold back anymore.

He stared at Isere's teary eyes that made his heart fluster.

"Fuck it!" He spat out out, he leaned down and slammed his lips on Isere's.

He shuddered as his lips came in contact with hers as it roused every nerves ending in his body. He glidded his mouth over Isere's, sucking her succulent lips.

Scrumptious, gratifying, amazing! An acutely fierce emotion electrified his body. The nactarous strawberry flavour of Isere's lips ablaze his senses. Never had he been brought to his knee from a kiss.

Bringing his hands to cup her face, he twisted his face to the side bring Isere's face closer to continue his assault on her lips.

Isere tried to keep up as low mewing sounds escaped her lips. Desire errupted from the pit of Kelvin's stomach, shooting straight to his groin, hardening his now raging erection that strained in his pants.

Wanting to have her closer, he placed one of his hands at the small of her back pulling her impossibly closer. Isere gasped when she felt his evident arousal pressed against her stomach.

Leaning unto Kelvin's hold, Isere's heart raced away as her toe curled from the intensity of the kiss. Unable to control himself, Kelvin explored Isere's curves running his hands up and down her back.

Her soft moans aroused him the more making him tighten his arms around Isere and lifting her off the floor. He devoured her lips like an hungry lion, roaming every corner of her mouth to his heart content.

Like an inferno on the edge of combustion, Kelvin couldn't stop himself as he found himself his new addiction.

Writhing, twisting, convulsing, Isere couldn't help the quivering of her body like the aftermath of an earthquake.

Isere couldn't phantom the feeling within her, she was having her first kiss and it had so many emotions riling within her. She held a fistful of his clothes trying to hold still as her leg felt jelly.

Kelvin placed her on the kitchen counter, continuing his assault as he was insatiable; he wanted more and he'd have more. He had deprived himself so long and he wasn't going to stop.

Isere let him take charge as it was her first kiss, or not considering her first kiss with him was in a blurry memory; one she had while she was drunk.

He tasted so much better, she knew kissing was sweet but she wasn't expecting it to leave unsettling feelings in her gut, although she loved the feeling.

It was as if butterflies were dancing in the pit of her belly. Kelvin didn't stop his assault as it reminded him of the first time he kissed her in the club, it took all in him to not have bedded her that night.

Needing a fix of air, Kelvin broke the kiss and asked what he had always wanted to ask.

"Will you be my girlfriend?!"
