KIKIOPE

"When did you get back?" I queried as we both inched our ways to the two-seater.

"Not quite long, I didn't see anyone at home, what of Mama D and her boyfriend?" She inquired as she plopped on the chair while I joined her.

"They went out oo."

"To where?"

A creepy smile crept up my face and Moye raised her brows, "Guess."

She rolled her eyes, "Just talk, which one is guess?"

I readjusted my sitting position," They went to his parents place."

She puckered her brows, "Whose parents?"

I pursed my lips," Se your mummy has parents nii abi which stupid question is that? Sugar Boy's parents na."

She cocked her head, "Oh, why did they go there?"

"What could be the reason?" I replied her and she eyed me.

"Just talk abi which one is all this?"

I eyed her in return before responding, "They're getting married."

She fluttered her lashes twice before her eyes widened, "Who and who?"

"Are you stupid nii?" I frowned at her and she turned to me squarely.

"You mean your mummy is getting married?"

I pursed my lips," She's not your mummy abi? You heard me right, they'll be getting married by July."

She clapped, "Wow, that's wow," a smile appeared on her face and I rolled my eyes.

"But how did it happen?" She inquired.

"Are you asking me? When your mother comes back you can ask her oo."

She slapped the throw pillow on my head and I glared at her.

"Anyway, how has your life been?" She queried.

"Fine," I replied succinctly and that earned me a glare from Moye, I knew what she wanted but I decided to play with her.

"Which one is fine? Abeg talk jare," she slapped the throw pillow on my laps and I eyed her.

"Nothing much, just the normal way of life," I shrugged.

She shook her head, "So, no difference at all, you're so boring."

"You know I'm the opposite."

"Whatever," she gave a dismissive wave of her hand and I chuckled.

"There's actually something."

Her head snapped towards me quickly and I burst into laughter.

"Talk if you don't want me to kill you," she threatened and I smiled before straightening up then my mind wandered back to what had been happening lately. Khalid.

"This one that you're smiling yii, hmm," she tickled me and I quickly slapped her hand away.

"Anyway, there's this guy..."

She cut in, "There's a guy, like my sister can actually say that, there's a guy in Kikiope's life, Let's ke hallelujah Meje" Moye shouted and I resisted the urge to slap her face. Why is she exaggerating?

"You don't want to listen abi?" I asked in a menacing way, and she quickly calmed down. Then I narrated the whole thing to her.

After minutes of shouting and smiling, Moye turned to me, "So, what's his name?"

"Water."

"Answer me Jo."

"So, you can't guess, from what I told you, your brain didn't click abi?"

She placed her index finger on her lips for some seconds before her brain finally came back, "Khalid?"

A grin appeared on my face, "Nooo, Chukwundi."

A wide smile danced on her lips, "Finally, I'd always known, I knew you guys were meant to be."

I pursed my lips, "Meant to be my foot, it's not as if we are getting married."

She rolled her eyes, "Whatever, so, you guys are an item now?"

"Which stupid item? There's nothing going on."

She frowned at me, "What do you mean? So, you guys have been catching cruise or what? I know you're the stupid one, why are you guys so foolish, why..."

I cut in, "It's okay oooo, it's not like I'm overdue for marriage."

She threw a scowl at me and I chuckled.

"Anyway, we are going out tomorrow."

"You and who? Me, I don't have time oo, I can't even go anywhere with you."

I erupted into laughter, and she gaped at me before placing the back of her palm on my neck.

"You don't have temperature and you definitely don't look like a sick person, did you just go insane?" Her eyes widened before she continued, "Goodness, my sister is already mad, ah, your mom's orogun has finally gotten you, finally, they have gets you," she joked and I shook my head in disbelief.

"Moye, you're something else, you're the mad one here, it's you that your mom's orogun got."

She scoffed, "The orogun from my side has sense unlike your own stepmother, it's apparent that the woman is a witch, and she despises you more than anything, the fact that you're doing better than her kids is enough reason for her to make you crazy."

I cackled, "Better stop blabbing nonsense, anyway, I was referring to Khalid and I."

Her eyes glistened, "Oh okay,I didn't know."

"How would you know?"

She eyed me before smiling, "So, you guys are going on a date and you're sitting here like this."

I pursed my lips, "Oh, so, you expect me to start jumping around or sulking or what are you saying?"

She slapped my laps and I jolted up, gosh, her hand was painful, I looked down at my laps which was now red before glaring at her, she shrugged before talking.

"Let's go and get you a new cloth, it's not yet late, let's go to the boutique down the street."

I shook my head in disbelief, "Don't be ridiculous, it's just a date not engagement, gosh, I can't believe you're in the uni."

She eyed me before standing up, I gave her a questioning look.

"I'm going to turn your wardrobe down, thank God you still have new clothes that you haven't worn, let me go and pick the best," and she disappeared even before I could reply her.

I shook my head in disbelief. I can't believe she's my elder sister and not younger one.

💢💢💢💢💢💢💢

"Wait, what did you just say?" Moye questioned as she glared at me with surprise evident all over her face.

"You heard me right?" I shrugged.

She looked around the house, Mama D and Sugar Boy weren't back so, we were the only ones at home and I don't understand what she's looking for.

"Is this girl stupid nii? Is something always eating your brain? Why are you this foolish?"

I pouted, "Why are you nah insulting me?"

She threw the pillow on the chair at me and I dodged it quickly, "To think I expected good news  only for me to get heartbroken."

I scoffed, "Are you Khalid abi which one is heartbroken?"

She shrugged, "At least you guys kissed so, it wasn't entirely bad."

A broad smile appeared on my face as I remembered when we'd kissed earlier in the cinema and the woman sitting beside us had stared at us with disgust, as if that wasn't enough, she went ahead to insult us and even decided to lecture us, and we'd both given her her piece. Obviously, she was pained or maybe her husband just left her or something that was why she couldn't mind her business, Bimpe should have been there to show the woman her place but I did justice to her Sha.

The crazy me, it was even after the kiss that I turned him down, not turn him down per say I just told him to allow me give it some thoughts and I don't even understand what I want to think about when I know my answer. Bimpe and Doyin would surely kill me on Monday.

A slap on my exposed laps brought me out of thoughts and I glowered at Moye, "What nah? See how my laps is already red?"

"You deserve it, I only mentioned the kiss and you zoned out yet you turned him down, what were you thinking? After all the efforts I put to make you presentable at least even though you're not fine, you must sha be presentable but then you flopped everything."

I rolled my eyes for the umpeenth time, Moye needs to be checked, "You're just saying rubbish, even without your efforts, you know I'm beautiful."

She scoffed, "Who is deceiving you?"

"You know it yourself."

"Shut up jo, beautiful but dumb, ode buruku," she hissed before throwing the pillow at me.

"You're just jealous," I jested, and she made a vomiting gesture.

"Anyway, go and wash up, dinner is ready, what am I even saying? There's no food for you."

I chuckled, "Why are you so pained? Are you Khalid?"

She threw me a scowl before replying, "I feel that boy's pain and I'm sharing it with him."

I laughed heartily, "You're not okay."

She eyed me before heading towards the kitchen while I decided to go to my room, it was the same as I'd left it earlier in the day, that stupid Moye didn't even arrange the mess she did, the gown she'd picked the night before turned out to be too big on me, and she'd insulted me because of that, then she had to scatter my wardrobe again before finally settling on a short blue jumpsuit that fitted me well and presented my curves, after I'd gotten dressed, she'd dragged me to her dressing room and had applied make-up on me and it  looked good on me.

A smile crept up my face as I remembered the date, we'd gone to the park in our area first before we went to the cinema. The day had been fun filled and I must admit that I really enjoyed the date and I'd ended up spoiling it myself. Not like I actually spoiled it, it...

"Aren't you hungry?" Moye's stupid voice jolted me out of my thoughts.

"I'm coming," I replied before peeling the clothes off, after taking a shower, I got into my nightwear and joined Moye on the dining.

So, it's a double update to make up.
