Exams ended four days back and our school decided to give the SS2 a week break; the break being the last week of the term which means we won't have to go home during the holiday but rather spend the holiday in school preparing for our GCE.

The children parliament also called for our visit to the United Kingdom, currently we were in London. Today being our third day in London, they'd decided to give us a break to tour around after spending two days attending workshops, seminars and the House of Parliament.

"You guys should stop na," Bimpe stomped her feet on the floor while I laughed.

"What are we stopping?" Khalid questioned and she scowled at him.

"Stop all your lovey-dovey, just because Kunmi isn't here now, oga oo," she hissed before increasing her pace while Khalid and I laughed.

"Here, I need to buy books from the house of Parliament shop," I dragged his hand and headed towards the store.

We strolled to the bookshop and I marvelled at the number of books there.

"You can't pack all the books so stop grinning," Khalid said and I eyed him before my hand raked through the shelf trying to think of books to pick.

After few seconds of thinking, I started picking the books and I could see the looks Khalid kept dashing me.

"Do you want to buy the whole bookshop?"

I shrugged, "If possible."

"You're impossible," he replied and I ignored him before continuing my purchasing.

"You'll spend all your money on books oo," he warned and I lifted my shoulder in a half shrug.

He kept quiet for some minutes while I still continued my purchasing.

"See, others are waiting for us outside," he grabbed my hand and I glared at him.

"Leave me alone na," I said on top of my voice, but he only dragged me to the counter.

I didn't miss the look the part-timer gave me after seeing the amount of books I picked.

"You must be a book lover," she started with a smile and I returned the smile.

"Yeah."

After the transactions, we walked out of the store only to meet Bimpe's glare.

"So, you guys went there to give birth abi?"

"You're not okay," I replied before her eyes travelled down to the bags with me.

Something wet and soft on my cheeks made me pry my eyes open, my face broke into a grin upon sighting Khalid.

"It's night already?" I queried while looking around the room.

"Yeah," he nodded and I frowned.

"And you didn't wake me for dinner, you know how I've been complaining about hunger since morning, when did I even sleep gan, wh..."

The feel of his lips on mine cut me short, a small smile appeared on my face before I wrapped my hands around his neck and eased into the kiss, I'd been meaning to kiss him since morning but that stupid pest called Bimpe always stopped us even before it started and she didn't fail to do that now as I heard the sound of the door.

"Oga oo, we that our boyfriend isn't here should jump the rooftop abi?" Her stupid voice boomed as she clapped her hands sarcastically.

Khalid broke the kiss while I glared daggers at Bimpe and she smirked.

"See the way she's looking at me as if she wants to strangle me, asewo oshi, I'm suppose to strangle the both of you with all the lovey-dovey you've been doing since all this days forgetting my presence," she spat while I erupted into laughter.

"And she's still laughing," Bimpe shouted before I noticed her lunging towards me, I got up from the bed quickly in an attempt to run away but my legs got stuck in the coverlet making me fall flat on Khalid.

The feel of his hands wrapped around my waist made me look into his eyes, he smiled at me and I wanted to return it but Bimpe dragged me up.

"You want to start another one abi? Thank God, we are even going back home tomorrow," she eyed me and I gave her a mischievous smile.

"More reason for me to spend more time with Khalid," I stated before moving closer to him while she dragged me back.

"I've been trying Kunmi's number since," she said while I shrugged.

"And what should I do about it?"

The scowl she dashed me almost made the ground swallow me, I sat down on the bed before pulling her to sit by me, "So, you've called him how many times now?"

"Twice," she replied and I rolled my eyes.

"He might be busy with something, let me help you try him," Khalid offered before walking out of the room.

I wriggled my brows," So, you're missing him abi?"

She eyed me before poking my side while I laughed, "Anyway, are you coming to Mama D's wedding this Saturday?"

She pursed her lips, "I'm not sure, you know tomorrow and Saturday is our only time at home before we go back to school on Sunday, so, I have to spend the time with my family."

I rolled my eyes, "It's not like you'll spend the whole day at the wedding nah, but you'll come if Kunmi comes oo?" I eyed her and she laughed.

"Okay, I'll come."

"Better."

💢💢💢💢💢💢💢
"What a pleasant surprise!" I uttered with the sarcasm dripping in my voice as I eyed Abimbola.

She smiled crookedly, "I was bored actually and decided to use this as a passtime."

I scoffed before eyeing her revealing gown, "Indeed! I hope you aren't here to find customers because this is a meeting for whores but a wedding."

She chuckled before shaking her index finger, "You're wrong, this is a whore's meeting, your mom being their leader and her friends or workers or whatever are also here for the meeting."

I resisted the urge to slap her that moment, I didn't want to disrupt my mother's wedding, so, I just dragged the idiot out of the events center where the wedding was holding.

"Let go of me!" She shouted and I dropped her hand but not without dashing a resounding slap that made her lose balance.

"Did you just..."

My hand landed on her other cheek again and she finally fell to the ground, eyeing her shocked body, I smirked, "You should know your place."

She made to stand up but I guess the dolt had sprained her ankle due to the high heels she was wearing.

"You'll regret this," she snapped her fingers while I chuckled before walking away as I remembered my main purpose of heading out of the hall; to pick Bimpe who was finding it hard to get the location.

I don't even understand why the place was hard to get, it was the biggest and most popular events centre in GRA and any bike would surely know the place.

"Hey, stop!" I shouted while waving at the bike racing past the hall, I saw Bimpe beat the bike man's shoulder before he stopped.

She got down before giving him his money then she walked up to me.

"Why did you come late?" I queried and she hissed before following me.

"Can you believe my dad came over to our place with his family?"

I raised my brows, "Really?"

She nodded.

"Why?"

She glanced at me, "Why? He wants us back nah and me I've been talking to my mom against it, I noticed she wanted to go soft at some point but I quickly poisoned her mind."

"You're a bad child," I laughed and she nodded.

"What's wrong with that one?" She pointed at Abimbola who was struggling to get up with the help of her twin brother.

"I only slapped the fool nii oo and she's doing like someone that wants to die," I replied with my gaze fixed on Abimbola who glowered at me.

The shrill laughter from Bimpe made me look away from her, "Just because of ordinary slap," she hissed and we both walked into the hall.

"Is your mom pregnant?" She whipped her head towards me instantly that I feared it won't fall.

I nodded, "Yeah, I was shocked when I got back yesterday only to see her stomach had increased."

Bimpe nodded, "Wow, that was unexpected, so, you're having another sibling now?"

"Obviously."

She stopped on her tracks and I halted my walk, "The baby that you're suppose to have, your mates already have two kids."

I laughed,"You're not okay."

She wanted to retort but the appearance of Moye stopped her, Bimpe screamed her lungs out before jumping on my sister, thank goodness music filled the hall so no one heard her screams but some people still stared at her.

I shook my head before sighting Khalid, leaving Bimpe and Moye to their natter, I walked up to him with a huge smile.
