Jasmine's POV

The moment I opened the door to the house, I brought out my phone to call my friends.

"Afa make una show for my crib," I said immediately after I saw that the WhatsApp group call had gone through.

"Wetin sup, who die?" Sonia asked

"At least not yet, please don't waste time. Come fast"

"Aaha, you know to leave this house, I have to have told my Mommy like 2 weeks ago" Amy complained, we heard shuffling in her background, "Mommy I want to go to Jazz house, you know she has limited time, I want to spend her last days with her" 

A faint "Okay" was heard, and then we heard the door open and close.

We started laughing, "Guyyy! your lying skills are top notch" 

"Thank you, oh, it's not easy"

I laughed quietly on the phone, "I dey wait" and cried silently as I dropped my phone on my bed. 

After some minutes, I cleaned and washed my face acting as if nothing happened, I can't start crying heavily, it was not going to end soon. 

I opened the door widely, smiling widely at my friends, "This one you're smiling like this, abeg shift commot" Sonia pushed me out of the way going straight to the Kitchen, Amy followed suit while Kamsi gave me a hug before following suit. I sighed as I closed the door.

"So wetin dey sup?"

Sonia whistled by the window, we gave her our attention. "Heei, who get this fine boy!"


I racked my brain, that has to be Aunty Mirabel's son, "It's our new neighbour,"

Amy rushed to the window, "Which fine boy? Geez dude has blinded my eye he's too hot like the sun" she blocked her eyes but kept staring at whoever was outside.

"Did you go to the hospital today?"

I smiled at Kamsi, should I tell her? 

 I turned my gaze to the girls, should I tell them?  They look so happy, smiling at the guy like he's going to notice them with their teeth wide open. I wouldn't tell them, the mood is a good one

I hissed lightly, "abeg leave my window before he thinks smiling lunatics are kept here", I walked to the window to chase them and to have a look at the hot sun.

"You didn't tell us you have a fine neighbour, na to come start to dey live here. Nothing is in my house" Sonia teased.

"See morning view" Amy cooed

I stared at the guy, "he's fine sha"

Sonia and Amy eyed me, "Sha?"

"Ehn now, at least. His finesse can't be compared to Tunde's own"

We all burst into laughter, even Kamsi laughed till she couldn't.

"But wait oh, Sonia why don't you consider Tunde? I mean he's fine and okay" Kamsi tried advising Sonia,

"Abeg abeg, don't even go there. Me and Tunde, lie lie it can never happen ."


"He even stopped me today, " I told them


Sonia shook her head "The day he tries that rubbish with me ehnn. This street go hear am"


"Please, carry it to your street," Kamsi said, smiling.
