[ SOWEMO BY DIJA]

Nishola gulped unconsciously.

Snr Damien was also here?

Why didn't she see him before?

Damien wore a placid shirt and jeans trousers. He was on low afro cut since the school didn't allow students to keep their hair full. He was sitting lazily on the sofa.

Tofunmi had attended every single one of his games. She was his big fan. She had his pictures of him wearing his  basketball cloth and all that. She always claimed she was just a fan girl. I believed because Tofunmi had a mega crush on one of someone she never told her.

She had always wanted to meet Damien in person but she died even before she could

The thought made bile rise to her throat as Nishola pulled her eyes away from Damien.

That guy looks good in anything, any freaking thing! He's dressed so causaully and yet looks damn hot!

"Yanmife claims you watch movies a lot" Femi said as Nishola nodded.

"Yes, I do" Nishola replied.

"Types and kinds?" Femi asked.

"All types and kinds" Nishola replied with a shrug.

"Whoa!" Iyin said with a smile.

"Have you watched Bad Boys for life?" Iyin asked.

"Watched" Nishola replied.

"Article 15"

"Watched"

"Rebels"

"Watched"

The students continued reeling off different titles of movies, Nishola had watched all.

The SSS3 students were stunned.

"Madd oh" James said in awe.

"I don't really know between her and Damien" Matthew said grinning widely.

Nishola eyes flickered to where Damien was sitting, he didn't seem bothered at all. He sipped his drink slowly.

The seniors resumed talking about something else as Nishola glanced around.

She brought her cup to her lips only to discover her drink was finished.

"Here" Samuel said giving her a cup of vodka.

Nishola smiled and shook her head.

Samuel laughed slightly "I can't drug you okay, I really wouldn't dare" Samuel said as Nishola contemplated before collecting the cup.

Nishola gulped a little down her throat as she frowned. Her throat was burning, yet she wanted more. She downed the contents in one go making everyone turn to her.

Nishola felt her throat was on fire. Her eyes turned red as she gave them a smile.

"Can I have more?" Nishola asked.

"I think that was overdue" Matthew said as Femi gave her a bottle.

Nishola started nodding her head to the music as soon as the music changed to 'Johnny" by Yemi Alade. An old song yet the vibes still remained intact as the party went crazy.

Some of the students moved to the dance floor and started dancing. Nishola took a swig of the bottle of vodka as she started nodding her head vigorously.

The effects of the alcohol started setting in as Nishola felt high. She glanced towards the dance floor and burst into laughter when she saw Yanmife grinding Samuel.

The funny part was there were two Yanmifes and two Samuels. But Nishola couldn't differentiate it.

Nishola took another swig of her vodka bottle as she glanced at Damien. The later was still relaxed and calm even after taking so many cups of vodka. Nishola smiled at him.

He was too handsome for his own good.

Nishola started waving her hands in the air frantically. Her thoughts went to her younger sister as Nishola felt her eyes redden.

"Ya! Why did you leave?" Nishola yelled.

"Tsk... She's drunk" Ade said laughing slightly.

"Why? You smiled at me the night before and watched movies with me! You even promised to snap a lot of nice pictures and show me when you come back! Why was it that, when everybody came back;you were gone?! Why?!" Nishola yelled as the SSS3 students became quiet.

Everyone knew the disaster that happened a year before. Everyone knew she had lost her sister too.

Damien frowned "Call Yanmife, they should get going" Damien said coldy.

"She drunk too else how on earth would she be grinding your best friend" Ade said with a chuckle.

Tears ran down Nishola's face. "Tofunmi, I miss you. If its just one last time, I want to tell you how much I love you" Nishola whispered yet the seniors all heard as they swallowed their saliva.

"Her driver should be outside, I'll look for him" Micah said standing up and walking away.

Nishola raised the bottle of vodka to her lips but it was instantly snatched away.

Nishola glared at Damien "Give it back!" Nishola yelled as Damien growled at her.

"Do me a favour and shut up" Damien said through clenched teeth.

Nishola felt goosebumps all over her skin, this guy just talking with was damn huge turn on.

Nishola blinked her big eyes at him.

"She wanted to meet you" Nishola said as Damien held her head in his hand.

"She was your biggest fan too" Nishola continued.

Damien cursed underneath his breadth as he grabbed Nishola's arm.

"Time to go home" Damien said pulling her up as Nishola fell on him earning gasps from others.

Nishola wrapped her hands around Damien's neck as she continued mumbling.

"She really wanted to meet you" Nishola said as Damien pulled her along ignoring the surprised looks he was receiving.

If only he hadn't promised her.

Kazeem's eyes widened when he saw Nishola slurring and holding tightly to a rather very handsome guy.

"Would you open the door?" Damien snapped. Kazeem was just staring at both of them without doing anything.

Nishola was applying pressure on his neck too and the driver was standing and staring.

Kazeem mumbled an apology and quickly opened the door. Damien placed Nishola inside the car and sighed.

"Release my neck" Damien said as Nishola pouted.

"No, I need to take you to her" Nishola replied with an innocent expression.

Damien cursed again as he stared at the girl in front of him.

What kind of devil did they send to him this time around?

"You need to go home" Damien stated firmly as he tried to peel Nishola's arms away from his neck but Nishola only gripped tighter making Damien wince.

"Hell fuck it" Damien growled as he got into the car.

"Drive" Damien added coldly as Kazeem ignited the engine.

Nishola continued mumbling incoherent words along the way. She held on tightly to Damien's neck and said a few nasty things to him.

Kazeem almost puked hearing how Nishola was openly flirting with him.

"Your skin is so flawless"

"Tell me, how do you manage to look so handsome in anything?"

"You are more cuter in your uniform"

"But you totally look hot in your basketball outfit"

"You don't like me?"

"I'm pretty okay and don't give me that look"

"Ya, I like you, do you like me?"

"You won't be like that bastard called Micheal abi?"

"Okay, since you like me now, I like you too"

"But first you need to meet Tofunmi"

"You'll like her"

Damien didn't say a word of reply to Nishola's words as Kazzem drove into the compound.

Damien took in the large compound as he glanced at Nishola. She had fallen asleep on his shoulders.

Damien cursed under his breadth again.

How dare her sleep after spouting so many nonsense? Even using her pretty face again!

Damien gathered Nishola in his arms like she weighed nothing as he strolled towards the main door.

Mrs Osanyibi wore a shocked look after opening the door. Rhe smell of alcohol waffled into the sitting room.

"Follow me, I'll show you her room* Mrs Osanyibi said as Damien followed her.

Nishola's room was exactly how she left it. The bed was slightly rough after Yanmife rolled in it.

Damien placed Nishola on her bed and stiffened when she was still clutching unto his neck.

"Ya!" Damien whispered.

Nishola's eyes suddenly flew open startling Damien, however Nishola raised her head to his and kissed him.

She whined in protest when Damien didn't respond. Damien opened his mouth to curse and found someone else's tongue in his mouth.

The kissing style was so sloppy making it obvious the kisser was very new at this.

Damien groaned as he felt his neck go numb.

Fuck it!

Damien grabbed Nishola's head closer as he kissed her back fervently. He sucked in her lower lip earning a whimper from Nishola

The whimper fuelled him as he swirled his tongue in her mouth kissing her senselessly.

She teased him constantly in the car with that innocent look in her eyes.

A moan escaped Nishola's lips giving Damien back his senses. He broke off from the kiss and nudged Nishola with his head, the latter fell asleep immediately as Damien pried her hands from his neck.

His gaze shifted to the huge picture of the two girls hung in the room.

"I owe you" He whispered as he exited the room.

He bade her parents goodbye as he entered the car again. Kazeem had offered to take him back to the party.

Damien glanced to the budge in his jeans.

When last did he get a budge?!
