Finding Her Inner Self

Chapter Fourty Nine✨

||Chapter Fourty Nine||

Mobola.
Standing right in front of Ire's house with my mind filled with all sort of thoughts. After Tolu bailed on me I didn't feel like eating all alone in the Chinese restaurant and I didn't want to go back to the hotel because Tade won't be home and if she isn't that means she'd be with Tik.

So that left me with just one option and that was seeing Ire. I just suddenly missed him so much and even though we didn't exactly leave each other on a happy note this morning I still wanted to see him so badly.

So here I was right outside the gate of his really large house wondering whether I should go in or just walk back to the hotel.

I sucked in a deep breath trying to gather enough courage to ring the doorbell when the gate immediately opened Ire walking out with a plastic bag filled with trash. Our eyes met and he looked really surprised to see me standing right outside of his gate about to ring his doorbell.

Well that was fast.

"Muffin?" He said his sweet voice snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Oh hey.. didn't expect to see you out here" I chuckled nervously unable to look him in the eye.

"I could say the same about you" he said with an amused smile throwing away the trash in the recycling bin.

"Yeah.." I muttered

"Wanna come in?" He offered dusting his hands his eyes still on me.

"Yeah sure" I said quickly walking in as I heard him give a short laugh before closing the gate following suit.

He opened his door the both of us walking in, his living room neat a sense of familiarity hitting me as I took my seat on one of the couches.

"Fancy a cuppa?" He said with that his really thick British accent confusing the heck out of me.

"What??" I said not understanding him before he flashed me an amused smile.

"I meant do you want a cup of tea?" He drawled out simply.

"Oh.. just water will do" I answered.

"Okay" he said walking off to the kitchen.

Why didn't he just say that instead?
I thought confused.

He walked back out with a glass of water in his hand, giving it to me. His hair was packed in a low ponytail behind his head and that's when I realized that his hair has grown a lot more longer.

"Thanks" I said drinking up before handing him the cup empty.

I watched him drop it on one of the side stools as he sat opposite me on one of the couches his eyes on me.

"So why are you here muffin?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah..why I'm here?. Well you see.." I said stuttering trying to make up an excuse to why I wanted to see him.

Just tell him you missed him already!

My subconscious pushed.

"No way am I telling him that" I muttered silently.

"What?" He asked seeming to have heard me.

"Uhm, nothing. I just wanted to tell you that i told tolu about us" I answered.

"Oh. You should have just sent me a text muffin, you really didn't need to come all the way here you know" he said scrolling through his phone.

You see. Your reason was dumb, just tell him you missed him!
