Finding Her Inner Self

Chapter Fourty ✨

||Chapter Fourty||

Mobola.
I came out of the bathroom with a smile on my face as I happily hummed a tune in my head. Ever since I got back from work, I haven't stopped replaying the scene in my head and I felt so excited that I couldn't wait to scream at both my bestfriends in happiness.

I was all alone in the hotel room, Tade wasn't back from school yet and I haven't seen Tik yet. Tolu said something about how he'll check up on me later but I didn't really grasp much of what he said.

I switched on the stereo system blasting songs and jumping around and smiling happily to myself as I changed into something more comfortable.

Ire kissed me.

I danced harder vibing to the song, twirling and giggling dramatically like a love sick puppy before falling on my bed with a sigh twirling my braid on my finger replaying the kiss in my head.

If he kissed me, does that mean he still likes me?
I thought alot of crazy scenarios playing out in my head.

I picked up my phone going straight to my contacts and clicking on his name wondering whether I should call him or not.

"Should I call him now?" I asked myself pondering on what to do.

"I did say I would call though, I should call him now when no one is around to hear what I'm saying" I said finally deciding to call him.

I said a short prayer in my mind hoping it goes well and wishing for the best.

Call me crazy but it's whatever.

I took in a deep breath and dialled his number, it rang for a while and I was about hanging up feeling stupid for calling in the first place when I heard breathing on the line.

He picked up!.

"Hello?"

My heart rate increased at the sound of his voice,his accent smooth in my ears and I didn't even realize when I started smiling.

Wow, I really have it bad for him.

"Hey, it's Mobola" I answered trying not to sound too desperate.

Wonder if it's working though. I thought.

"I know. How are you?" He asked his voice causing me to shiver in the good kind of way.

Has his voice always been this attractive?or am I just noticing it now?.

"I'm okay, just got out of the shower" I blurted immediately regretting it.

Why the hell would I say that?!
I'm trying my best not to sound desperate and I'm telling him I just got out of the shower?!

Smooth Mobola
Real smooth.

What am I trying to prove by telling him that?!
God what is wrong with me at times.

"Oh I see, that means you recently just got home" he answered not phased by my shower embarrassment.

How is he so calm about all this?

"Yeah, what about you?" I asked

"I'm still in the office, I have a lot of contracts to go over before I head home" he said.

My heart immediately dropped at how hard he worked so much. I gave a small sigh feeling guilty for not staying to help.

"Oh, you should have told me to stay and help you. You really shouldn't overwork yourself" I said my tone filled with care.
