UZO'S POV

The sound of my ringtone for the third time made me groan as I reluctantly opened my eyes. I grabbed my phone from the night stand and took a quick glance at the caller Identity.

Early morning this one is disturbing somebody. It's not her fault. It's because they allow phones during extension.

I swiped my fingers across the phone and accepted the call. "Good morning" I mumbled.

"Why are you sounding like you are exhausted from numerous rounds of steamy sex. Wait! Did you have sex with Timi?"

I groaned. "Of course I did not. I'm sounding like this because your call woke me up" I pouted. "And it's not your fault oh. It's because you have your phone with you that's why you can disturb my beauty sleep"

"Beauty sleep indeed. Madam Model. Because you are modeling for Tara now you'll sleep the whole day away in the name of beauty sleep. Better get your lazy ass out of bed."

I pulled the phone from my ear and checked the time. I almost screamed. It was freaking 11:15am. How long did I sleep? Michelle must be out.

"I didn't know I slept that long. See me thinking it was still six"

Adaku chuckled. "Madam you did not see sun ni?"

"The room is dark. I didn't open the curtain. Thank you for waking me up sef"

"I'm sure if I didn't wake you up you'll have slept the whole day and nobody there will wake you up. Just be living like a queen. I'll be here running errands for mama tunde" She said the last part in a murmur much to my hearing. Mama Tunde was her matron in school.

"Sorry oh! It's for your good na" I chuckled heartily. "We'll talk later. Enjoy your day"

"And you too!" I added and she hung up. I walked into my adjoined bathroom and brushed my teeth. As soon as I was done, I skipped down the stairs all smiles. I heard faint laughter and familiar voices and I made my way to the living room.

"There she is!" Agatha exclaimed. Seated in the living room were the people I least expected. Agatha sat in between Damola and Peter on the longest couch and Mide sat opposite Timi on smaller couches.

"Ope ohh! Sleeping beauty is up. We were getting scared. If you didn't wake up we would have sent your prince upstairs to kiss you awake."

I flushed at Peter's words and went over to Agatha and Damola engulfing them in tight hugs. "What's the occasion?" I asked taking a seat beside Mide.

"We came to celebrate with you babes. Your first shoot was yesterday. We're really proud of you" Agatha said all smiles. "Guys it's not a big deal now"

"Says the girl that didn't blink an eye the night before the shoot" I heard that deep alluring voice and my heart leaped. "How did you know she didn't sleep all night?" Damola asked chuckling.

Timi looked away a smile tugging at his lips. "I know things" He shrugged. Mide was about to say something, Peter beat her to it. "Why don't we just get to the cake part. I'm starving"

My eyes widened. "Cake?"
They all nodded with genuine smiles on their faces. "Where is it?"

"Kitchen!" Peter announced.

I rushed to the kitchen and on the counter sat a banana cake. On the cake was Congratulations Bella!

I squealed in excitement. "Banana cake is my favorite. When did you guys arrange for it?" I asked sticking a finger into the frosting and taking the finger into my mouth.

"It was all Timi. We knew nothing about it. All we do was to bring ourselves here." Agatha added grinning.

I walked to where Timi stood. "Thanks a lot" I gave him a nervous smile. "Your welcome" he replied rubbing the back of his neck.

"What's with all this awkward vibes. Just kiss already" Damola rolled her eyes at us. "We do not want to watch that. Do not kiss" Agatha added scrunching her face in disgust.

I chuckled and stepped away from Timi and rushed for my cake.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

We were all seated in the living room. I had my bath earlier and was dressed in one of my three quarter trousers and an ash hoodie to go with. We were binge watching a series. All our eyes glued to the TV except Mide who kept smiling typing on her phone. I wanted to tease her but I decided to wait for the right time.

Timi got a call and after the call, he went upstairs. In less than two minutes, he was back with a car key and a small bag. "Where are you going to?" Mide asked looking up from her phone.

"Mum called. I have to take something to her" he said heading for the door.
"I'll come with you" Peter added grabbing his phone from the center table"
"Finally!" Mide breathed though to the hearing of all of us.

"You should at least try to hide your hatred for me once in a while" Peter rolled his eyes and Mide snorted. "Get lost chap"

"You guys!" Timi sighed and walked out Peter trailing behind him. As soon as they walked out, Damola and I turned to Agatha. "Spill it!" I yelled.

"Spill what?"
"Don't you dare feign innocence Agatha. You know very well what we're talking about" Damola said giving her a death glare.

"Well. I like Peter." She shrugged.
"You think we don't know that?" Damola grunted.
"As much as I don't like him, I think he'll make a great boyfriend for you Agatha. I never said it alright" Mide said dropping her phone carelessly on the couch.

Agatha giggled causing Damola to scrunch her face in disgust. "I think he likes me too. Not sure though" She sighed. "Well I think he likes you" I added. "The way he looks at you, like you're some jewel"

"Assumptions differ from facts Uzo" Agatha snorted and Mide smirked. "He really does like you Agatha. Believe me he does"

After the little chat, we were bored and decided to use our phones instead. The living room became so silent that a pin dropped, would be heard. I snapped my eyes at Mide realizing it was the right time to tease her. "Who were you texting that made you smile so much?" Mide groaned and face palmed herself. "Why now?"
I continued taunting her giggling all the way.

TIMI'S POV

Stepping into mum's plush office, I was met with the grinning face of my favorite boss lady. My mum was twirling in her chair as always causing me to chuckle.

"Mother" I sighed. "Ew, don't call me that you're making me feel old". I smiled at her. "But aren't you?". She glared daggers at me and I shrugged feigning ignorance. "Good day mum" Peter greeted beside me and she gave him a loving smile. "Good day my dear".

"Here's your bag" I said and dropped the designer leather bag on the table. "Why didn't you just take it with you in the morning?". She rolled her eyes at me "If I had my way I would. I forgot". I nodded my head and turned my head sideways staring at an expensive looking painting on the wall. "You just got this one aye?" I nodded towards the painting of a black woman carrying a clay pot whilst backing her baby. It was so original and fascinating. She nodded in approval and I sighed.

Mum noticed the uneasy air in the room after I mentioned the painting and she decided to break through the pregnant silence. "So, did you talk to Uzo?". I grinned like a rebellious bairn . "I did". "Great!" Mum sighed. "My baby's got himself a girlfriend" She punched her right hand into the air.

I giggled. "I have told you severally that I'm not a baby. Mum I'm freaking seventeen!". She rolled her eyes and flapped her hair. "Yeah right!".
"And she's not my girlfriend" "What!" "Yet" I completed in order to save my head from being chopped off by my own mother.

"Peter, can you believe this? Timi didn't ask the girl out. Who does that?" Mum face palmed herself.
"I told him to" Peter replied and I casted him a glare. "I think I'm better off. You haven't even told Agatha how you feel yet". Mum's eyes widened. "I'm disappointed in you two. Make your moves before the end of this holiday. Alright!"

"Sure" "Okay" we replied and she beamed. "Sweet!" She exclaimed pronouncing it more like Suhwheat.
"We have to go now. The girls are waiting" "Alright then run along. And have a fun time"
"Sure" We replied and made our way out of the office.

"Your mum never seize to amaze me"Peter said as soon as we walked out of the reception. "She never seize to amaze me too" I chuckles and we made our way to my sleek and stylish Mercedes-Benz S560 4matic coupe laughing all the way.
