I want to make something clear.
I am not writing this to force anyone to read or anything, I'm actually doing this because I love it,it's not like I'm even doing it to win one Watty's award, I don't even know the meaning of watty's award sef.
Just like y'all, I have a life out of wattpad.
If this story seems over exaggerated to you, lol... Chill, then you don't know what's going on. Some of the things here are actually based on true life events.
I already have the story planned and the things that seems over hyped to you actually happen in real life.... Not everybody can be as reasonable as you, there are lots of unreasonable people out there and that's exactly where this story is focused on.. On unreasonable people.
Telling me the story's no longer interesting doesn't change anything, you can as well stop reading it.
I'm not meaning to be rude or anything, I'm putting this is the most polite way I can because my wires upstairs are not even complete, they were wrongly connected, I swear.
So please, take a chill pill. 🚶🚶
💛💜

"Aisha, this is totally ridiculous " I say to her as I used a pen to remove the gum on my laptop.

" I thought you just agreed to do this with me " she threw her hands in the air in frustration.

" well because....

"take off your suit, we are going shopping " she reminded .

" it doesn't even make sense " I laughed.
" Okay fine, before I take off my suit just to shop' can I at least go and see her before taking a step "

She frowned" I'm doing this for you just know that "

I nodded in agreement.
" fine " she nods back.

I handed everything to Ella before leaving with Aisha.
I drove to the house, Aisha informed me Benita's dad was back and she told me something about a 'gun incident'.

I still tried to convince her that one doesn't need to prove one's love with material things but she wouldn't hear any of it as she claimed that she knows her friend and she was so sure her friend would be mind blown by the gift.

It was funny how she had chosen to 'help me'.
Initially, I thought Debra and I would flow together but course changed and here I sat receiving relationship advice from this funny young girl.

We got to the place and I was glad that Dotun was the only one around. It was interesting to know that the Modupes are workaholics, hardly home, always at work.

"Hey man " we gave this manly hand shakes and I listened to him tell me of Benita's recent recovery, he was glad, hell, so was I.

" how far guy, Fisayo bought her a new car oh " he added.
He laughed over it, I joined him and he made me know he had the good mind to destroy the car but he would just have to chill and watch Benny decide.

I went into the room to see Benny peacefully asleep, I wished I could her know I was here.
I carefully removed the strand of hair playing close to her eye, placed it gently behind her ear.

"has she eaten? " I asked Dotun.

"menn! She didn't want to eat, you should have seen me forcing her to eat... E be like say make I even use slaps push the food inside her mouth" he chuckled.

I smiled and Aisha quickly reminded me that time was wasn't on our side.
Mentally face palming, I assured Dotun I would be back as I had to settle some things with Aisha.

She pulled me out of the room and while laughing Dotun wished me luck as he announced that I was walking out of the room with a lunatic. I had to agree.

Driving the car out, I asked Aisha why Debra wasn't there.
"Her mom took her to a church for deliverance " she answered with seriousness.

I laughed at the joke but she explained that she was serious and mentioned something about Debra's mom getting frustrated with the way her daughter lived her life.

Mad!

I drove us to a car dealer and I almost didn't want to get down from my car. I considered this as a total joke. At a point, I couldn't help laughing at Aisha but the girl angrily kept on reminding me that she was just helping me.

I would have to admit, it was actually nice that she thought she was helping me.

I wouldn't say I am the nicest of guys all around, Benny used to tell me I am rude and annoying, big lie.
Well, truthfully I know I wasn't totally the nicest guy around and neither was Aisha.
She's totally rude, rich in a bad snobby way, she lacked manners, very dramatic but surprisingly hated violence but most importantly, she had a generous heart. It would be hard to tell but I noticed she didn't joke with the people she loved and that was clearly the reason she was helping me....

I wouldn't say she was helping me in the most reasonable way but at least in the typical Aisha's way. I couldn't blame her.

"just come down " she rolled her eyes.
I chuckled wondering why she had energy to do silly things.

" fine, if you won't step down, just know I'm right there " she pointed before walking away.

Laughing, I stepped down, locked my car and closely followed her.

I let her do all the talking to the car agent as she checked out all the cars that were parked out.

She twisted her face in disgust as she obviously didn't like some of the cars.... Well, most of the cars.
It looked funny but this shows how much she loves Benita. Cute.

After some boring minutes of Aisha entering different cars to check them out and me patiently tagging behind her :

"heyyy " she smiled waving at me as she stepped out of a Lexus.

" Aisha " I answered smiling.

" we got our baby " she squealed.

I couldn't help but join her smiling, she talked a lot about the car and wouldn't stop talking about it.
I left her to get the car document and payment settled.

She begged me to let her drive the car, while I drove my car back to the Modupe'.. ..

I wouldn't really say she begged me because a lot of unnecessary shouting was involved.

We were about getting into the cars when she noticed an 'agbero' (tout) was relaxing on my car.

"Timi, Timi " she yelled.

I turned to her direction.

" can you imagine. Look at this thing! This riff raff... My friend will you get out of there " she growled.

The dirty ugly looking guy looked back at her in irritation and before I could utter a word, she brought out an handkerchief from her bag and used it to wipe the bonnet's surface of my car.

Aisha.....

The guy was annoyed, her action clearly implied that he was dirt filled... Which in reality is the truth. His beards was not even something to talk about.

"Aisha hold on... " I hurriedly walked towards them but before Aisha could say another word, he roughly pushed her to the ground and I could hear something snap.
I prayed it would be her heel and not her leg.

She landed on the bum with her bag thrown in another direction.

"you dey craze? "
" who you think say you be?.... " he yelled at her.

Aisha was totally wrong with with what she did, it was uncalled for but the guy shouldn't have pushed her that way. Right from time, I was always against men hitting women, it shouldn't be done.

What the guy should have just done was to walk away and ignore her not roughly pushing her the way he did.

"Hey Hey... Why you push am like that? " I asked him pulling him by the shirt. His breath smell of alcohol.

" oga, na she push me fess, I just dey relax on top this motor, e nkor just carry handkerchief dey rub the car like say I stain am"

Being taller and huge than he was, he was able to feel intimidated.
The fear was written all over his face as he tried to shield his face from me.

I gave him two hot slaps before sending him away, he took off his slippers and ran off.

Turning to Aisha, some people had already helped her up, her shoe looked ruined and she looked like she would cry. I collected her bag from the woman that tried cleaning the dirt off Aisha's dress.

"Thank you " I say to her.

" no problem.... Aunty sorry " she answered before walking away. The other people there said their 'sorries' before leaving.

Aisha didn't say anything as she bent her head probably in embarrassment.
I held her hand and took her to the new car.

I would leave mine here as I was familiar with the people working in this place .

I got into the new car and drove out of the place.

I called one of my staff to go and pick my car from where I left it, after telling him who I left the key with.

After hanging up, none of us said anything.
I kept on driving while her head was bent.

I studied her for a while.

"are you okay? " I decided to ask.

She sniffles and quietly cried" he totally embarrassed me "

Is she crying?

" aww, don't cry dear, none of them there knows you so there's nothing to feel embarrassed about" I say as softly as I could manage when all I wanted to do was laugh one of... As Benita would call it 'an intimidating laughter'.

She nodded and cleaned her eyes.

The remaining drive was in silence.
I was glad as she decided to keep quiet as I was really enjoying driving this new car.

" Thank you " she muttered.

I practically twisted my neck as I turned in her direction.
Did she just thank me?
This was the second time, the first time was back in Ben's room when I passed her fallen phone to her.

" Thank you for fighting for me " she added quietly.

Humility!

I genuinely smiled at her "you are welcome"

We soon got to the Modupe's house and Dotun was surprised to see a new car parked downstairs.

Aisha got herself back and proudly explained to him that she made me get a new car for his sister.
After she walked away. Dotun couldn't help laughing as his face completely turned red.

"my man, welcome to the family... You see my sister and her friends, they will turn your life to a reality Tv show" he laughed holding his belly.

"bro, I no get choice " I laughed back.

We walked into the house, heading to where Benita was.

She was seated calmly on her bed,holding a magazine, flipping through the pages. The progress was really impressive, we'd just have to wait for Ben's recovery.

Her face snapped up as she heard movements.

"Timileyin! " she did not have to call my full name but who cares, she just called my name.

" babe " I tried to push back my excitement , I was so happy.
She made to leave her bed to come to me but the drip restricted her.
I had to make the move.

" how are you doing? " I asked.

she buried her head on my shoulder, that was what I needed at that moment. I had missed her badly. I had a lot to tell her, I had to tell her how Aisha and I were strangely bonding.

The feeling I had for her was too strong that I started feeling this heart ache.

She is just so beautiful and sweet and it got me wondering why her ex boyfriend decided to break her heart. Why would one try to ruin something good.

The feeling felt great though painful and odd.
I had never felt this way for anyone. I didn't care for anybody well apart from my family.

Meeting Benita changed everything, I cared for her like my life depended on it, I cared for anybody she cared for and that was the reason I tried to endure all her friends drama and all.
Love like I always say makes one go mad.
The things you didn't believe you could do would be the things you find yourself doing!

"we'll be downstairs " Dotun said to me, I had even forgotten he was there with Aisha. Benita was the only one that mattered to me as her head was still buried on my shoulder.

I heard them leave and it was good they did because Benita had started crying in my arms.

" sssh, don't cry " I calmed.

She raised her head to face me "I don't even know why I'm crying, I just know things are messed up"

Lord! She made a long sentence, I miss this.

She had every right to cry. People are different, my sister for example is the type that would cry to let out all her pains and Benita is the type that likes to bottle up all her pains, if crying can let them out, it would be nice if she cries, I would be willing to give her my shoulder to cry on.

But in actual sense, for a young girl whose once best friend got impregnated by an ex, she had reasons to cry.

She cleaned her face as she sat up straight, away from my arms.

How is she so beautiful even when she doesn't try?

Shit! I haven't even told her she's beautiful...

"Fisayo got me a car" she explained with pain written all over.

"Aisha told me "

" he didn't have to get me one but he did and I um felt sorry for him " she cleaned her eyes as the tears kept on dropping.

" for the past few months, I've learnt to consider other people's feelings and it's sad to see Fisayo still cares about me even when he hurt me " she sobbed.

As a guy, I didn't see what hurt or was hurting or 'hurted' if there's even something like that but girls tend to get emotional for even the slightest thing, I'll just have to patiently see things from her angle.

" I don't think I can bear to see Olivia's child in the future, it would keep on reminding me that I can't actually have something of my own without somebody taking it away from me... What if I eventually lose you? " she was crying too hard now. No, no, no.

" Benita stop this now " I was slightly getting irritated, the cries were making me feel uncomfortable.

I gathered her again in my arms, she looked lost and confused.
" what if Ben doesn't wake up? What if bad things happen to me again..... What if.. What if I lose you because we haven't had sex yet.... "

Bullshit!
Total scrap.

I love sex like many other people and honestly I wondered how I was going to cope waiting for Benny to decide when to have sex but surprisingly there were many other things to do with her since we couldn't have sex.
I learnt many other interesting thing about her, I would get engrossed in doing things with her that sex craving wouldn't even be on my mind.

There were times she'd make me help her comb her hair, paint her nails... Those little things mattered.

Her insecurity was taking the best of her.
What does it take to let her know that I am willing to wait till she's ready.
She didn't even know how proud I was that my bad ass Benny is actually a virgin.

"Baby, look at me " I ordered.

She was hyper and wouldn't want to listen.

" Benny "

She slowly looked up at me.
" I have had lots of sex before I met you... But I have never loved anyone the way I love you and it's something that's amazing. I love you and would be willing to wait till you're ready. Sex doesn't define a solid relationship and ours is a living proof. Benita, I love you so much and I don't care if you decide to wait till your wedding night, if God's willing, I would be with you till your wedding night, I love you so much and that's all that matters "

She had lots of tears to waste today. They kept on coming in full force. She wrapped her arms around me still crying.
" I love you Timi "

Sweet Jesus! Bless the day I sent her a DM.

After some minutes, she tore herself away from me.
" what am I going to to do with Fisayo's car? "

Shit!

" I don't really need a car, if I really wanted one, I could have just asked my dad to get me another but I don't really need one " she explained.

Aisha na bastard!

How was I supposed to even tell her?

" um, imagine Aisha asked me to get you a new car, something way better than the car Fisayo got for you? Would that even make sense? "

She frowned her beautiful face as she studied me thoughtfully.
" oh my God! Don't tell me Aisha made you buy me another car... " she was laughing.
" so typical, so Aishalistical " she added and that sent me laughing.

Wasn't it amazing how she and her friends had different personalities but were still as close as ever.

" it's not as if I bought you a car jhor, I was just asking " I frowned.

" I know you did " she still laughed.
" if you didn't, I really don't mind because I don't need it and if you did, I still don't need it because I feel like you guys are making it look like a competition"

I smiled and touched her check "I would go and get you something to eat"

She nodded as I stood up to go.

I was heading to the kitchen and I saw Aisha along the way.
"so what's up? " she asked.

" nothing's up" I answered

"no stupid, the car thing... "

If she had used this energy to fight that guy earlier, it would have been nice.

" she doesn't like the car " I reply

" what? Why wouldn't she like it? She has not even seen it " she rolled her eyes.

" yeah, she said she doesn't like the car's model " I explained with a serious face.

" what? You know what, go and freshen up, we'll go shopping for something better this time "

" Aisha please, I don't have the strength and time.... Where exactly is the kitchen again? " I cut her off.

She shot daggers at me " And I said it, I said she would not like the car but you had to force me, you had to force me to pick the Lexus "

I didn't even have anything to say, shaking my head I went around to search for the kitchen myself.
Aisha was saying rubbish, didn't I let her pick the car by herself? How on Earth did I force her to pick the Lexus.
It's easy to change some things but Aisha.... I don't think would even want to be changed.

I got to the kitchen and got myself busy for my baby.

BENNY'S POV

I felt a movement.

Opening my eyes it was totally dark, I couldn't guess exactly but it should be around 2 in the morning.

I couldn't see anything so I reached out to put on Ben's table lamp.

My hand was entwined with Ben's and again, I felt the movement.

His hand turned in mine.
Oh my God!
Oh my God.....

I was frightening shocked.

I shifted away in unexpected fear and then I immediately shifted close to him again. Looking closely at his face...

"mom, daddy!!! Ben is awake! "
