Selah woke up the next morning in Segun's house. She held her head and massaged it. Her clothes were still on and her body was intact. She looked around again and noticed Segun on the floor.

Segun moaned and laid belly flat on the carpet. She smiled such a gentleman. Getting up slowly to avoid waking him, she picked her phone and cap, then started tip toeing to the door.

'For your mind, you wise?' Segun asked, eyes open, facing the door, 'where are you running to? It's Saturday morning.'

She smiled. 'So you have been awake since?Winsh.'

'How was your night?'

'Quite surprising. I slept with my clothes intact.'

'I'm not a rapist na. Will you sleep without your clothes before, except you wanted to?' he asked, raising his eyebrows in style.

'Na you know,' she added and walked back to the bed.

'I bet you don't remember what you said last night. I could tell something was wrong with you, you were crying.'

'The truth is someone hurt me, a friend of mine. So one thing led to another and insults flew across,' she said with a straight face.

'Sorry iyeh, cry cry baby...baby baby fanta...shame,' Segun sang and laughed.

'I hate you,' she said, smiling.

'I love you Selah. You're amazing and I don't take that for granted.'

She looked at him, 'how sure are you that later, those words won't be hard to say?'

'I'm not but I'm sure of now. Will you be my girlfriend Selah, please.'

'Yes,' she replied.

'What?' Rachel yelled in shock when Selah told her she was dating Segun. Her friends didn't take the news quite well, compared to the reaction she had imagined.

'I like him a lot babe,' she replied but was cut short by Valerie.

'Like Selah, like not love. What if this is another scam and then you realize it was a trap. You'll get hurt again, and this time, it'll be more painful than the last.'

Selah was silent. She hadn't thought it that way. This new relationship was out of loneliness. She was hurt by Chris and then, she rushed into another relationship with Segun. God knew she hadn't given up on dating Chris, she was still madly in love with him. What have I done? This is deep shit she muttered in her mind.

'Abeg I'm tired jhor. Everything is so messed up. It's too late to tell Segun that I was hurt and I needed him as plan B,' she said, head in her palms.

'I can't really say anything right now. You can do mumu mumu things sometimes and this is one of the greatest mumu thing you've done so far,' Rachel said.

'Insult me o,' Selah said in baritone voice, 'na me con teh you na.'

'Yes, I will insult you. You carried this your tiny legs and left this room without saying anything to us. The next thing, you were in man house and now, you are in another relationship.'

'I will date him,' she said.

'Now what if Chris comes back to say I'm sorry? Last I checked sef, he didn't break up with you. He just gave you a nonchalant attitude and you walked out of the room in anger.'

'Plix, I'm tired, abeg.'

'What were you doing last night?'

'Nothing! I'm usually tired. It's a normal thing,' she said and walked out of the room.

One new message from Chris

Hey Ma, what's up?

She read it and replied.

'I'm good, you?

'I'm great. I miss you o'

'This one you messaged, what happened? Wait, sorry; it's your normal routine...

'Hey...harsh words. I'm just checking up on you. If you don't wanna chat, fine. Don't go all Jackie Chan on me.

'Okay. I don't feel like chatting. I'm tired...maybe some other time, when you send a message (the next millennia).

Call from Segun brought calmness back to her brain. She had been fuming internally about Chris always getting his way and expecting her to comply like a fool in love...which was what she was with him. She picked his call and sounded calm.

'Hey, what's up?'

'I'm good. How are you?'

'Good. Anything?'

'Nothing. Just checking up on you.'

Hmm... checking up on me *smiles*

'Okay. Thanks, I'm blushing.'

'It's a free world. We'll see later, iyeh.'

'Okay.' Should I tell him I love him? Ashawo one naira. Tell him, if that's how you feel!

'I love you Selah,' he said and ended the call.

He didn't even wait for me to say I love you too. Wow! They still exist? she said to herself.

She patiently watched the time tick; she cleaned her room and did random things she knew in her normal sense she wouldn't for her friends. When it was 7:45pm, she got a call again from Segun.

'Hello,' she said on her end and smiled.

'Am I speaking with Selah?'

Her smile disappeared. That wasn't Segun's voice. She'd know cause she had mastered it in her mind. So many thoughts ran through her head and the voices won't stop ranting and finding solutions to what she didn't know about.

'Hello!' came the voice again.

She came back to her senses. 'Yes, you're speaking with Selah.'

'Okay. Segun Bamidele had an accident few minutes ago, and before he passed out, he said to call Selah.'

Ayemi temi bah mi...we are finished.

'If this is a prank, it's not funny. It's not even April yet.'

'We're at the schools general clinic. Please come.' And the call ended.

What if he's joking? He wants you to come, so that he can know the kind of girlfriend you are. He's going to be fine dear. He will be, for all of us. All of who? Selah asked her head. I'm the one dating him, not you guys. Stay out of my head. Hahaha...we can't, we're your head. Deal with it.

She ran into her friend's room.

'Segun has had an accident,' she said with tears in her eyes, 'I'm going to the hospital. Will you come?'

Her friends looked at each other.

'Let's go,' they chorused.
