☆Buchi

"Jesus, God, this girl leave me alone."

"Jordan who is on the phone? I know it's a girl. How important is she to you?  Is she more important than me?" Lekwanu this girl oo.

"Yes, she is. Jaelyn, let go." She was gripping my shirt.

"Jordan, who is she to you? Tell me."

"Why should I? Hmm?"

"Jordan." I was tired of her stickiness and whining. It was too much.

"Angel, babe, I'll call you back later. Okay?" I smiled when I heard her 'I love you.' I was not sure if what I felt was love, but I really liked her. "Thanks. Take care." When she hung up, I faced Jaelyn who was looking at me like I wronged her.

"She's your babe?"

"Yes. So?"

"Why? Who is she? I want to meet her. "

"Why?"

"To know which girl could grab your attention like this."

"No, you won't. No. Please leave me alone. If you want to disturb someone, Felix is always available." She lowered her head while gripping her skirt-which was short.

"Fine! We'll be back for you!" She stormed off. I rolled my eyes. Drama queen. I glanced at my watch. In a few minutes, it'd be dinner time but I didn't feel like eating in the hall. I sent Chioma a text telling her I wasn't going to the dining hall.

"The place is lively," I said looking at Rhema's background.

"You're missing a lot, Jordan. Too much. This one is strictly for seniors only excluding SS1s. Plus Sin City students."

"SHS came?"

"Of course. It's Balogun's birthday. Their girls sef. Look at." He switched the video camera to show two girls doing a lap dance. She switched it again and his face came into view. "Some have gone upstairs."

"Upstairs?"

"I forgot to tell you. I have the house all to myself today. Baba travelled with mom. Only a few servants are around to do their job. Guest rooms are open." He looked away like something caught his eye. "Fucking Jesus! This one will go viral. Jordan see. See."

"See what. Guy switch the camera. I'm seeing nothing." He switched it moving closer to what he was showing me. "I think he's over Chioma. This babe has his attention now. Excuse me all of you!! Put the phones down. Now!" He shouted to those capturing the scene. I also heard him shout to seize phones. There was a commotion but the centre of attention did not care. "Jordan, I trust you not to share this."

"I won't." Why had I never seen this side of him? "He's experienced."

"Shebi it's shocking you? I thought this guy was a virgin."

"He doesn't act like it. Tell them to find a room."

"I will." He muted and I used the time he was talking to the horny couple to take in everything I had just seen. I kept my phone aside and went to take some water. I felt hot after watching live porn. One featuring my sister's best friend and a girl I found familiar. "Jordan, are you still there."

"Yeah, I'm coming." I went back to the bed. "So are they there?"

"In the room. Still going at it." I scoffed. "I think he likes her." I raised my brows. Really. "He's protective. Even I can't hit on her. The chick is fine oo. I tried to shoot my shot once. Just once. Ebenezer kept glaring at me like he'd tear me apart. The girl sef collected my number and accepted the invitation to my house."

"I see."

"It's a good thing. At least I have no competition again." If only he knew... "Tiana. That's her name."

"Tiana! You say..." No wonder I found her familiar. I laughed. If Chioma finds out she was the girl Ebenezer was with, it wouldn't be funny. She hated her.

"What's funny."

"I know the chick." Primary school classmate.

"My wife."

"I'm not. Rhema,  stop."

"Sorry."

"Happy birthday to you."

"Thank you." There was unconcealed joy in his voice. "Sing for me, Chioma."

"Rhema-"

"Please nau. I want to hear your voice." She looked at me and I shook my head telling her not to. "Please, let it be my birthday present."

"What song?"

"Anyone. Even the national anthem is fine."

"Okay." She sang the Happy Birthday To You song for him. I expected her to sing the national anthem.

"Your voice is beautiful. I'm in love."

"Thank you."

"No, thank you. The best present ever." Ding! The chime came from Chioma's phone. I eyed it suspiciously when she gripped it tightly. Who messaged her?

"I'll leave you to talk with Buchi."

"Wait, wait. I have a question."

"Go on."

"Does Ebenezer have a son? With you?" What? Her expression changed.

"Buchi, excuse me." She moved to a far corner of the room. I couldn't hear what they were saying anymore. I went closer standing behind her. I hugged her resting my head on her shoulders. Men's cologne. It wasn't mine. Who touched her? I frowned. I had someone in mind. I tried to shake off the suspicion but the masculine scent was hard to ignore.

Another chime came from her phone. I tried to pry it away from her grasp. "Buchi stop. Goodnight, Rhema." I heard her say. "What are you doing?"

"Who is messaging you?"

"I don't know."

"Oya lemme check." She glared at me, returning my phone. "What? So you know."

"It's my business, not yours." Another chime. The screen lit up and I saw the name.

"So the rumours are true."

"What rumours?"

"You and Kenneth becoming too close."

"We're friends."

"You're friends till you're not. Wasn't he your crush?"

"Was. He was. Now we're just friends."

"Let it remain that way," I said returning to my bed. I heard her hiss.

"Goodnight."

"What child was he asking about?"

"It's also not your business." She headed for the door.

"Take care." She closed it behind her. Let her not get caught by supervisors.

Who knew that by morning, Hughton Academy would be in an uproar? Not only Hughton. I picked up the phone which had been ringing incessantly. "Rhems, what is it?"

"Chioma knows the heir?"

"That heir?"

"The heir. The one and only heir of two multinational multimillion-dollar companies. Wait, I'll send you the picture." He sent a screenshot. My focus wasn't on the fact that his phone was a freaking 3 per cent. Instead, it was on the annoying photo of Chioma and Kenneth. A selfie. I looked up his IG page and saw the picture.

Who could look so pretty while eating spicy food?

That was a previous post. His most recent post was the one Rhema sent. 3 minutes ago but had more than 500 comments underneath. Wow.

Goodmorning.

Comments kept flooding in, many of them asking about her. Someone, who probably knew, revealed her username. I checked Chioma's wall. Her followers were increasing rapidly. Too much exposure was harmful.

She's not that pretty. I narrowed my eyes. Not caring to know who it was, I reported that account for inappropriate content.

My sister was the prettiest in the world. They could go argue with the Atlantic Ocean.
