It's been a week since the tutorial class started and Mimi could say she'd been enjoying it so far, he'd made her exams so simple that she was certain she would never fail them, they'd gotten along pretty well and he didn't seem as aloof as she thought he was.

Mimi changed into a pink short gown as she'd just gotten back from the therapy, heading out of the room, Fara and Lola rushed to her.

"You're going to the mansion right?" Fara queried and Mimi nodded.

"Can we go with you? God, I'll do anything for him to tutor me too," Lola said and Mimi rolled her eyes, they'd been disturbing her about wanting to come with her since the first day when they found out he was helping her study. Even though they knew her answers would always be the same, they still kept on pestering her.

"Try to talk to him nah, just convince him," Lola whined and Mimi rolled her eyes before removing her hands from their grips.

She shook her head before walking out of the house while Fara and Lola hissed simultaneously.

Mimi walked to the mansion as she went straight to Christian's room only to realize he wasn't in the room, she wondered where he could be, the opening of the door interrupted her thoughts.

"Christian told me to tell you he's in the kitchen," Cherry announced with a smile and Mimi couldn't help but smile in return, her smile was so contagious, she'd always seen Cherry smile all the time and she wondered if she never had any worries.

She watched Cherry walk out of the room and decided to go to the kitchen but then she didn't know where it was situated, she knew it would be downstairs so, she descended the stairs while trying to remember where the dining was, the house was too big for her liking, she finally got to the dining room then she noticed a door opposite it, presuming it would be the kitchen, she walked into it and jaw dropped at the size of the kitchen.

Christian turned to her and she took in his looks, the apron wrapped around him made him look like a chef and she almost laughed at the thought of him ending up as a chef.

"Hey," Christian called and she walked up to him.

"I only told Cherry to tell you my whereabouts not bring you here," he said and Mimi smiled.

'She didn't bring me here, I came here on my own', She scribbled on her jotter and  Christian nodded.

"You should have stayed up, I'm almost done here," he told her and she smiled before looking at the Kitchen Island where he was slicing meat, he noticed the curious look on her face and he talked.

"I'm baking Meat pie."

She raised her brows before writing, 'Really? I didn't know you could bake'

"It's one of my numerous skills," he bragged and Mimi rolled her eyes while he chuckled.

"Actually, my mom taught me, she ensured we all learn how to cook and it's always by turn, it's her turn today actually, I just decided to bake this for our study session," he explained and she nodded in understanding.

"So, you can go back up," he told her and she shook her head before writing

'I'll stay, let me help you, I bake too'

He lifted his brows, "You bake too?"

She nodded.

"Well, if you insist, you can join me," he said and she smiled. They started the job together amidst conversations and laughter.

Lisha was surprised to see Christian laughing with a girl in the kitchen, one that wasn't Christy or Cherry.

"Hmmm, hmmm," Lisha cleared her throat and the previous occupants of the kitchen turned to her.

"Oh, Mimi, you're the one," Lisha said with a smile and Mimi smiled at her.

"You guys are baking?" She moved closer to them.

"Yeah," Christian replied and his mother wriggled her brows at him, he understood her and he raised his brows.

"Come on, mummy, stop thinking to the other side," he said and Lisha chuckled.

"Who said I was thinking to the other side?" She asked with a tugging smile.

"It's written all over your face," he replied and she shrugged.

"Whatever, give me one meat pie," she stretched her hand forth and he picked one from the tray.

Lisha bit into it, "Hmm, it's so good."

"Of course it would be," He bragged and Lisha scoffed.

"You're a braggart," she uttered and he smiled. Mimi smiled at their display of affection, it was obvious they were close.

"Hmm, let me leave the two of you to continue your…" she wriggled her brows at Christian who wrinkled his nose.

"We are already going up," he told her before carrying the tray and Lisha nodded while Mimi followed him.

They got into his room and he talked about his mother for a bit before they decided to study. Mimi somehow felt sad as realization struck her, it was their last time studying together so far exams would be ending on Monday.

"Hey, you aren't listening," his voice brought her out of her thoughts and she nodded. She wondered how he was always quick to find out she wasn't listening.

"It's just French, so, just solve these questions, explaining it won't do any good," he said and Mimi nodded before collecting the textbooks from him.

While attempting the question, she noticed he was staring at her, she scrunched her brows before looking up to meet his gaze, he smiled at her before he turned back to his laptop.

At the end, she scored ten out of fifty and he sighed.

"Study the question and answer it after that you're attempting it again until you get everything right."

She raised her brows at his latter statement and he shrugged, "Yeah, you must be able to attempt all questions."

She eyed him and he chuckled before she went ahead to study it, by the time she was able to attempt all the questions, it was already late, so, he decided to walk her to the chalet even though it was in the same compound and nothing could go wrong.

"We just ended our study session as we are ending our exams on Monday," he stated the obvious and she nodded.

He stopped in front of their door, "I actually enjoyed your company and I believe we are good friends now," he said and Mimi's face stretched into a wide smile.

"Good night."

She waved in return before entering the house, he watched her close the door before leaving for his place.

*************

"Finally," Dera screamed as Miss Miracle walked out of the class with their exam paper.

Tife and Mimi chuckled at her display.

"We are finally done with the torture."

"The one you didn't study for at all so, how is it a torture to you?" Tife mocked and Dera eyed her.

"Abeg, let's go and get something sweet to eat, we deserve that," Dera said as she dragged Mimi out of the class while Tife chuckled before following them.

They got to the cafeteria and Dera decided to go place their order.

Mimi's eyes trailed to the entrance, she saw Christian stroll into the cafeteria with his friends, their eyes met and he smiled at her.

"So, you've ended your tutor with Christian?" Tife's voice made her tear her gaze from him.

She nodded before bringing out her jotter from her pocket,

'The one you didn't show up for at all, I thought you said you always studied together."

Tife smiled, "That's because we've been studying together since the beginning of the term, I only had to revise during the exams."

Mimi pouted before nodding while Tife poked her side.

"Tell me you're not thankful to me, you enjoyed the tutor right?"

Mimi smiled before nodding as Dera appeared with their order this time with Tomiwa.
