Chapter 4
Jace's POV
When she was dared to kiss her crush.For a moment I thought the kiss was going to change everything and make things easier for me to express my feelings for her but as they say "Do not count your chicks before they hatch".
Well,I guess I counted them and it did not end well for me.
When she stood up and starting coming towards my direction,my eyes were full of happiness but it ended shortly when she kissed the guy next to me who happened to be Tobi Kennedy,the one guy,who should I say I dislike?!! Yes I disliked him,not because he was more good-looking than me,nay,am more good-looking infact I'm actually cute and attractive as they say.
Am so full of myself
I disliked Tobi because of his natural ability to make girls laugh,he was funny and he had this cool vibe that attracted people unlike me,the cold guy who is only attractive because of his looks.
When she kissed Tobi,I saw my tiny world I was planning for the two of us crashing,by that kiss,she made it known to everybody that Tobi was the guy she liked but she didn't seem happy,it seemed she was forced to do it and I was going to find out the truth.
When she left the game to cool her head somewhere,I wanted to run after her and question her but I decided I will do that later.
Many people were gossiping about the kiss and Tobi ofcourse was very very happy infact if there was something more than happiness,that would be what he was experiencing at that moment.The party ended,I called my stepmum and informed her I was going to sleepover at Mason's place,she gave me permission not as if she cared,I think am one of those children who never experienced motherly love because my mum left my dad when I was 4 so I grew up with a stepmum who cares less about me,nobody knows about this except Mason.
We got home and all this while,Mich was quiet,she only had a little talk with her sister about their mum before she entered her room.
I decided that this will be the perfect opportunity to talk to her.
Michelle's POV
My sleep was interrupted by the knock on my door,I told whoever it was to come in,hoping it was my mum.It happened to be Jace,I was surprised and actually became uncomfortable.
Why are you uncomfortable now that he is here,you don't still like him,Do you ?
No I don't like him.
Then good,get your shit together.
What if he brings up the kiss.
He won't.
How do you know that,is not as if you are in his mind or something.
I argued with my subconscious
"Hellloooo!!Michelle"Jace said bringing me back to reality.
"I hope you are not here to make out with me in my mother's house"I said jokingly.
"No na!I don't want to die now and if we ever want to make out,it won't be here"He said in a flirty manner while winking at me.
Michelle,Do not fall for this!!!
"Emm... alright"I said while blushing.
"So Tobi is about to be our in-law!Wow! and you didn't tell me,I feel sad"He said with puppy eyes.
Arrgh!!He is so cute,why didn't I kiss him when I had the chance to,Stupid me!!
"And I am about to have an in-law too"I replied.
"Who?"He asked confused.
Hope this one doesn't have short term memory
"Ifeyinwa na,she said she likes you, remember??"I said those words with pain in my heart.
"Mtchwwww and so,if she likes me,that's her problem na,I don't like her"He hissed.
"Jace,haba na!!Pity for her"I said already diverting the topic.
"Let's be serious,so you like Tobi?"He asked straightforwardly.
The big question is finally here,I told you
"Yes"I replied avoiding his eyes.
"That's a lie and you know it,you can't even look me in the eyes and reply"He stated raising my face towards his.
I think he is angry
Ofcourse he will be angry
I know that!!
I raised my head up to look at him.
"You like him right??"He asked again.
"NO"I finally admitted.
I wasn't that kind of person who could lie straight into someone's face,it wasn't that easy.
I had to tell him the truth to relieve my conscience,besides this will be our first secret.
"So why did you kiss him?"He asked.
Enough with the questions!!
"I had to, Ifeyinwa said you were her crush and it would have been heartbreaking to her if I kissed you,You see my point!!"I stated the obvious.
"First of all,what you did shows you are a good friend, secondly,you did the right thing in the wrong manner"He remarked.
"So who do you like then?If is not Tobi"He asked.
Why is he asking the obvious??
"What is it with the questions?"I asked.
"No need to answer!I already know"He smirked.
"Now that you know,I actually like you but I don't love you,get the difference"I said.
"We will see about that"He winked at me and left.
It is breaktime at school,Olivia didn't come to school today for reasons unknown to me.After school,I will go to her house to check on her.
I was sitting alone on my table in the cafeteria when Mr.Handsome came to pester me.
"Hey you,why are you alone?I thought Ifeyinwa was supposed to be here with you"He asked.
Speak of the Devil
Ifeyinwa was chit chatting with some of our classmates but as soon as she saw Jace,she came running to my table.
"Hey Jace"She said beaming with smile.
"Hi Ife"I greeted knowing fully well she is only here for attention.
"Oh hey,how are you?"She asked quickly and turned towards his direction again.
Wow so much for attention
"Ife,wasup ?You look good today,nice hair"He complimented.
"Awwwn thanks Jacey"She replied with her cheeks like red tomato.
Jacey??really
"You are welcome, ladies I gotta run now,Mich see you later and BTW I will be around today"He said and left.
"What does he mean by he will be around today ?"She asked curiously.
"Oh,he usually comes around to see my brother"I replied.
"Okay,that's nice,I gotta go,see you around"She said and left.
Why won't you leave when you came here for attention
Mtchww
I wonder what made Olivia think we will even be friends
I couldn't go to Olivia's place because of rain so I called her on the phone and asked the reason for her absence at school.
She was absent because her mum was sick so she had to take care of her.
I told her what happened at school today but I had hang up because of the bell ring.
I wonder who it is, everyone is at home including Jace so who?
"Good evening,Mich"Ifeyinwa greeted.
Oh My Goodness
Why does she have to carry her love drama to my house
Jeez
"Can I come in?"She asked.
"Sorry,sure come in"I replied
"By the way,how did you get my address"I asked.
"Maya told me"She said smiling.
"Okay and you are here because?"I asked the obvious.
"To see you na,can't I visit my friend again"She said.
Stop lying we both know why you are here
"Okay,let's go to my room"I said.
We were close to my room when she asked what the noise was about.
"Oh,is the boys"I replied.
"You mean Mason and Jace?"She asked.
"Yap"I replied with an expresionless look on my face.
"Okay,can I go say hi to them?"She asked again.
"Yes sure,you can,let me show you his room"I told her while holding her hand to my brother's room.
"Hi Jace"She said in the most seductive tone ever.
This is not going to end well
"Ife baby,come here joor"He said spreading his arm wide for a hug.
They had a brief hug and Jace was looking at me and smiling mischievously.
I don't like where this is going
"Mich,I will be here for a while,I want to discuss something with Jace"She said smiling.
"Okay"I said and left.
Can't I come and visit my friend again
Mtchww
Attention seeker
Why is this one angry
Or I thought you said you don't have interest in him again
My subconscious asked me
I don't know
It was 5:00PM in the evening and I was wondering when those two were going to go home although tomorrow which happens to be Tuesday is a public holiday so there won't be school tomorrow but I hope they are not planning on sleeping over because I don't want to share my bed with someone who pretends to be my friend of which she is not and Jace and Ifeyinwa cannot share the Guest room together hell no!!I won't even let that happen
Really?
I went to Nero's room to ask Ife when she was going to leave because it was late.
"They are not here"Nero said when he saw me looking for her.
"They?"I asked the obvious.
"Shebi you have turn to deaf person abi"He said feigning annoyance.
"Ogbeni calm down joor,where are they ?"I asked.
"Guest room,they said they needed to talk"He replied still facing his game.
Guest room??
No no
I left his room and went downstairs to the guest room,I got there and decided to eavesdrop on their conversation.
I know is wrong to eavesdrop but come on
I couldn't hear a thing but just slight moans so I knocked twice but got no response.I opened the door and what I saw was heartbreaking.
Oh My God why!!!!why na??!!
They were both half naked,Ife was only wearing her jeans as for her upper body,she was completely naked up there while Jace had his T-shirt removed and
The abs!!
Now is not the time !!
They were making out if not for my interruption God knows what they would have done.
"So this is what you two wanted to discuss huh??!!"I said angry.
"You two have no shame at all, Jeez!!"I said in a low tone.
"Mich,why are you angry na??You should even be happy for me,I mean I made out with my crush,when you kissed your crush,I didn't complain,you are behaving as if he is your boyfriend"She said feigning annoyance.
The guts that this girl has
Can you imagine?!!
"It was a dare!! I'm really sorry that I used that tone on you guys"I apologized.
"Get the fuck out!!!Right now!!"I screamed.
Good thing my mum isn't around,God knows Jace won't even be able to step foot in this house again,my siblings came running to know what was going on.
"Sis,are you okay?What happened??"Maya asked with concern.
"Mason,tell your friend and this slut to get the fuck out!!"I ordered.
Mason is the oldest but I behave like oldest
"Guy!!Blast!!You two finally did it,am so happy"Mason said with joy.
What is going on??!!
"Baby,let's go,she doesn't want us here"Ifeyinwa said to Jace pouting her lips.
"Emm...am not leaving, I'm actually sleeping over"Jace said.
Does this boy not have house sef
Sleeping over where ??!!
"In which house??"I asked angrily.
"In this house na,abi you are now the boss in this house??"Mason asked.
"I wasn't talking to you"I said and walked out on them.
Jace didn't even bother going home,he was really serious about the sleepover.When it was time for dinner,I took my food to my room to eat,I didn't want to see his disgusting face.I was both angry,sad and disappointed,heartbroken I didn't even know how to explain it,I got my heart broken by someone who I wasn't even in a relationship with.
Shits happens
***
The next day,Jace went home and Olivia came visiting,I was happy atleast I had someone to talk to.
"But that girl has mind o,can you imagine??In your own house!!"Oli said with surprise written all over her face.
She hasn't still believed it.
"Mich,I know you really liked that guy but what he did clearly shows he's a dick so just forget him and concentrate more on studies,Test week is almost close,you know you actually deserve someone better"She says comforting me.
"Thanks Oli"I reply hugging her.
