DEMONS YOU MADE

27✓✓

Malik.

After a long period of exhausting lectures, the boys and I decided to meet up at Tega's. I drove my car to his flat. Once I got there, I hopped down and knocked on his door, no response. I decided to call him, he told me he was still in the lecture room. I told him to tell me how to get in, cos I was exhausted, after much persuasion, he told me where to access the keys. I took the keys and opened the door.

I wonder why he's always so secretive.. I walked into his flat. I entered his kitchen looking for what to eat. It was basically empty. I wasn't surprised.. Tega loves food but can't cook so he stuck to takeouts. I found cereals and made some, pouring liquid milk I found in the fridge into it. I ate it up and washed the plates. I was bored so I decided to watch the tele. I suddenly remembered a film I downloaded on his laptop which would be in his room. So I went into his room. This was my first time in here. He always locked it up. At first, Femi joked about him having a young girl he abducted and held hostage so she can satisfy his sexual urges and we laughed about it.

The moment I entered the room, I suddenly felt strange prolly because I haven't entered it before. I was searching for his laptop, and I couldn't seem to find it. I checked his bedside cupboard, his vanity table, ....still nothing. I decided to check his dresser.. that was when I saw it lying there. Beside it was a brown box..like a small chest. It had a lock but luckily for me, it was unlocked. Seems like he opened it recently and forgot it lock it. I opened it slowly and was met with the shock of my life.

What the fuck was he doing with all this??! I kept asking myself. It was then I heard noises approaching.

Valerie.

I had early morning lectures today, so I quickly got up, freshened up and made a cup of coffee for myself in preparation for the day's work. I know Nessa has lectures as well, but I wasn't hearing noise coming from her room to indicate she was awake or preparing for class.

This past week has been a sad one for Nessa, I could see it in her eyes. Although Nadia was so sure Dave would come back,he didn't. This is why I say 'love no man', they're just scumbags..that put you through so much pain.

I was about to leave the house, when I heard soft knocks. I opened up knowing it was Jemmy but wishing it was Dave.

"Hey Valerie. Where is she?" Did she just acknowledge my presence?! I was stunned. I gestured towards Nessa's room. She ran off quickly. I don't even understand this girl, she left her brother's apartment to come live with us, with the excuse that his friends don't give her enough privacy. Whereas, she hardly spends her nights in this house. I wonder if Malik knows?

I went out of the house, closing it after me. I boarded a bike that took me to the school. I got down and paid for it before dashing into my department.

After all my lectures for the day, I decided to go to Madam Bukky's joint for lunch, mine and Zahrah's favorite hangout spot.

Once I got in, I sat on an empty seat, a waiter came to attend to me and I ordered a double portion, consisting of fried rice and jollof rice with chicken. I also got fanta. She came with the food shortly. I began to eat. I was really famished! Only coffee since 7 o'clock in the morning, now it's 3:40.

"Ahh my daughter. .long time no see. Hawayu dear..?" The owner of the restaurant, Madam Bukky. I smiled at her.

"I'm fine ma. How's business?"

"Business is stressful ..but we're doing it. How about my slaymama?" She was talking about Zahrah. I began to miss my old bestfriend.

"She's fine ma. "She nodded smiling and left. After I finished my food, I paid for it and left. I boarded another bike to my house, but decided to stop at a supermarket to get a few stuffs for us. I went in and picked what I needed, placed them in the shopping basket on my hands, I turned around and bumped into a body. I looked up .....it was Dave. He looked surprised to see me.

"Good day Dave" I said as I was about to leave, he dragged my hands back and said.

"We need to talk."

"About ?" I quickly retorted

"Chill...about your sister. Honestly, I can't do this anymore. I need her back. I'm going crazy Neto"

"So...what d'you intend I do?" I asked dumbly

"Let's talk somewhere"

"No apartments...it has to be an open place like a restaurant." He nodded and smiled.

"Thank you"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Thanks for agreeing to meet" he said.

"Can we start already. I'm very tired, need to rest."

"Okay.....so the thing is I love your sister so much..the love I have for her is jxt excess--"

"But when she asked you...you said nothing"

"Neto... I'm facing some challenges at home. Mom is forcing marriage on me, she wants me married so she can play with her grandkids and well, I only have eyes for your sister. But, we all know she won't agree to marry me now. She's way too independent.... she'd want to finish school, do her Masters,secure a nice paying job..own an apartment and car before she settles down for marriage. And that patience is what my mom doesn't have. So she started bringing her friends daughter and all...the girl that kissed me at the restaurant which your sister misunderstood, was my ex. We ended on a very bad note, she came back to ask for forgiveness but I've been ignoring her, I decided to talk to her this once...and she screwed everything up. I didn't want to deny it the day your sister brought it up...but I know how insecure your sister gets..I wanted everything to be alright. But now---" he sniffled "its all ruined..she hates me now"

"It's okay. But she doesn't"

"How d'you explain her blocking me on every social media account... I've been calling her number..not reachable. She obviously blocked me." I went over to his side patting his back.

"You need to get her back. She's practically useless without you"

Malik.

I was back at my apartment but I couldn't get what I saw off my mind. Could he??! Nahh, he won't do that. But why would he have those??

I was glad I was able to escape without being caught. When I heard noises in the living room, I had to think of a way to leave the room without being caught. So I dropped the laptop back in it's initial position, so he won't suspect I was in his room. I quickly and quietly dashed out of his room, and stayed in the kitchen for a while, pretending to be there the whole time.

But throughout the whole hangout with the guys, my mind was still in what I saw. I glanced from Alex to Tega. They were so engrossed in their discussion. They're best friends so why? Suzzie?? My thoughts were muffled up.

When I opened the small box, I saw pictures ... pictures? Yeah tons of Nadia's pictures. A lot of them. Both ones taken without her knowing and her normal pictures, even her recent modelling pictures. It was obvious he had a crush on her, but I'm going to get to the root of the matter.

I suddenly remembered the day the boys came to my house, the day Alex left in anger because of Nadia claiming he cheated on her. The day he broke things off with her. I remembered the moment I glanced at Tega when Femi made a joke about being Alex first child's godfather. Tega had a distant look. Could he have been the one that made them break up? Nah... Ion think so. Tega and Alex are best of friends, he wouldn't hurt his best friend. I decided to be more observant on the case.

Ghen..ghen ghen..😮😮
What d'you think Tega was doing with all of Nadia's pictures? What d'you think is going on?
Should Dave go back to Nessa?

Please keep on reading and don't give up on ma book😩🥺🥺
