IMANI

26

Apologies my people (that's if I still have people and y'all haven't abandoned me).
I sincerely apologize because so much has been going on in my life that it's hard to keep up with Wattpad. Forgive me please. I can't assure you that I'm back yet so please forgive me again. 😭

Btw This chapter is just a filler. I have had it since but I kept forgetting to update.

"I want you to be mine," The words continuously rang in Imani's mind as she stood there staring at Fego. She could hear nothing else but his lips were moving.

"Mine," She whispered underneath her breath. She stared at him for a few seconds before lifting herself from the ground a little and placing her lips on his. At that moment, everything felt right.

She shivered as his hands cupped her face immediately she placed her lips on his. Her heart raced so fast that it was going to find a way out of her soon.

His hands left her face to her back gently. Imani felt goosebumps rise on every part of her body. Her stomach did little flips and dances. She let out a moan when he bit her lower lip.

Fego pulled away and sighed. Imani watched as his forehead developed a wrinkle.

"What's wrong?" Imani asked. She was a little worried that he realized that he had made a mistake asking her to be his.

"I told Mena's babysitter I won't be out for long so I have to get back home," he sighed again. Imani giggled internally at her paranoia.

"Oh," she let out.

"Yes and I want to stay so bad because we have unfinished business," Fego's voice dropped an octave lower, making Imani feel things between her legs. She unconsciously clenched her legs tight. Her brain scrambled for words to say but nothing sensible was formed so she just stood there.

"I Uhm should get going," Fego smiled at her.

'Stop making my heart beat fast please,' Her subconscious yelled at Fego. She let out a sheepish smile.

"Yeah," she said to him.

"I'd text you," Fego said, placing a kiss on her cheek. She nodded when he pulled away.

"So cute," he smiled.
"Now go in before I change my mind and stay," He placed his hands in his pocket. Imani's stomach tightened with arousal and so much emotion. She smiled and turned slowly, hoping that Fego will pull her back and kiss her senseless like some minutes ago. She sighed internally when she realized she wasn't going to be getting that.

Imani finally entered her apartment and shut the door close. Imani pressed her back against the door and squealed with excitement. She didn't care if Fego was still at the other side of the door and could hear her.

"Imani keep it down it's late," Emma's voice came from the living room shocking Imani.
"Emma?" Imani walked from the door to the living room. Her friend wasn't supposed to be home tonight. She has planned to stay over at Greg's place for a while.
"You're home?" Imani asked her. Emma ignored her and flipped through the channels like Imani hadn't just asked her a question.

Imani looked at her best friend well and noticed her eyes were swollen and her hair was all over the place. She has a bag of chips in her hand and ice cream opposite her. She still had her dress on from the outing.

"Emma, what's wrong?" Imani sat down beside her friend.
"How did you get here so fast?" She asked her best friend. She remembered leaving them at the restaurant.

They must have left immediately after we did. But how did they get here before us? Well, David did drive like a snail, Imani thought.

"Took a taxi and told him to drive very fast," Emma shrugged.
"Emma, tell me what happened. Why did you leave immediately after I left?" Imani asked her friend. Emma sighed and turned to look at her.

"Greg and I had a fight immediately after you left. I blamed him for ruining your mood and inviting Fego here. The fight got heated and I might have said some things that I didn't mean," Emma began to cry uncontrollably.

"I told him I was tired and wanted to break up and that I could have cheated on tour if I wanted to," Imani pulled her best friend closer and wrapped her hands around her.

She was sad that her friend and her boyfriend fought because she decided to ruin their dinner with her stupid mood.
"Emma," she cooed, trying to get her friend to stop.
"I'm sure Greg knows you didn't mean any of it," Imani continued.
"He doesn't. He agreed to break up with me," she lifted her head from Imani's chest before placing it back to increase her crying.

"Emma it will be alright I promise. I know you two will get past this. The love you two have for each other is no ordinary love," Imani tightened her hug around her friend for more reassurance.
After some minutes Emma eventually stopped crying and pulled away from Imani.

"I'm such a bad friend," Emma said, her voice was still sounded raspy because of all the crying she had been doing.
"Why were you squealing like a child? Did you and David kiss? See I told you he was a nice person. I'm pretty sure he asked you out," Emma babbled. Imani smiled at her friend, happy to see that she was slowly returning to her normal self. She hugged her friend and smiled.

"No David and I didn't kiss," Imani told Emma.
"You didn't? What was making you happy? Did he ask for a second date as he's a gentleman and doesn't kiss on his first date?" Emma asked. Imani shook her head and chuckled at her friend.

"None of that," Imani chuckled at the curious look on Emma's face.
"Tell me, Mani, the suspense is killing me," Emma said.
"Well after I left the restaurant. Fego followed us here," Imani said smiling.
"He did? To do what?" Emma looked slightly irritated, making Imani's stomach knot with uncertainty.

What if Emma hates him now, Imani thought. After all, she and Fego were what ruined her relationship with Greg tonight.
"Well he came to apologize and asked me to be his," Imani told Emma. She wasn't expecting to be cheered on by Emma or for her to be as excited, so when Emma was quiet for a while she wasn't upset.

"So what did you say to him?" She asked me.
"I haven't really said anything yet but I think I kind of did with the kiss. I don't know. I just know that I was very happy at that moment," Imani explained to her friend.

"Well, either way, I'm happy for you. I'm going to bed now," Emma said getting up from the couch to their room. Imani nodded, slightly disappointed that her friend didn't show a little excitement but she couldn't blame her, she was nursing a breakup that was their fault.

Imani sighed and fell back flat to the couch. This was the first time she had a man in her life and Emma didn't. Imani's phone buzzed bringing her out of her thoughts.

"Just got home. I hope you're getting some goodnight rest already. Goodnight baby girl," Imani's heart fluttered at the text because this was the first time Fego had called her baby girl and because Fego was finally hers.

Her eyes closed slowly as she kept replaying the message in her head.
