Chapter 9: Might be a bad idea...

Zayne.

" Say what now? "

I sighed and massaged my temples, the familiar headache now kicking in. Amir and Dayo were looking at me like I've grown three heads and a long horn.

"I asked Rihanna out"

"You?!" They both shouted. I glared at him. Shouting was Dayo's thing. He was supposed to be the mature one here.

"Are you kidding me? Is this the first of April or what? This is first term na. Wait till April next year to pull that stunt on me." Dayo said.

"It isn't a real stuff. Just fake dating that's all"

"Fake dating? Zee has America gotten so deep into you like this? I thought you were going to wait for Ivy?" Amir asked, raising an eyebrow.

"God Amir! It's just to help okay? And I'm not falling for Rihanna or anything. We aren't even friends so why are you working yourself up like this?" I snapped. I didn't mean to, I mean, I rarely snapped but I was very tired. And when I was tired, I was irritated.

"Bro calm down. I'm just trying to make you see what you are getting yourself into here. This is Rihanna we are talking about" He said.

"Amir leave him. He knows what he's doing. It's just to help her isn't it? You are not going to fall for her or anything?" Dayo asked. I raised an eyebrow wondering why he was asking that kind of question.

"What?" He asked.

"You like her or what?"

"Nah...she's hot I admit. But I don't think I can like any female again after what happened" he responded with a sad smile.

"Hey bro, don't think about it that much" Amir said and patted him on the back.

"Look guys, I'm just helping. I don't even know why I'm doing this. Maybe because I detest that creepy son of a..." I paused and remembered my mother's warning on foul language.

"Anyways, I'm not falling. I will not fall. Trust me."

They stared at me for a while.

"This might be a bad idea bro..." Amir started.

"But we are brothers... We support you" Dayo finished. I smiled at them. Smiling was something I did rarely around other people but my loved ones.

"Wait, does this mean we have to be friends with her friends as well? " Dayo asked, suddenly frowning.

Oh brother...

" Yes?"

"Empress" he hissed softly. I and Amir chuckled. I had even forgotten that he and Empress were rivals.

"Can't you guys just get along for once?" Amir asked.

"Never! We were destined to fight each other." Dayo shouted with a frown.

"Does this mean I get to be friends with Justice?" Amir asked, his face getting red. I sighed. The dude had an undying love for Justice and I was sure he was going to use this to get closer to her.

"Sure. I no hold your leg" I replied, struggling to speak pidgin but failing miserably because they both burst into laughter.

"Zayne want to dey speak pidgin oo! "  Amir shouted while laughing.

" I no hold your leg!! See the way he talk am with American accent!" Dayo replied.

I rolled my eyes and wondered where I got such friends from.

Rihanna.

" No no no no! There is no way I'm going to be friends with that creepy idiot called Dayo. Tolerating him on the court is just enough, now we are going to be friends" Empress shouted, saying the word 'friends' with disgust and dislike.

"Empy nau... Please just do this for me. It might just be for a term." I pleaded with her.

"Empress na. Let us view it as us trying to help Riri get her revenge on Efua and Nathaniel and also getting her respect and dignity back" Justice said.

"C'mon Riri, you know I want to help. But Dayo... Ah" Empress said.

"Please I beg of you now." I batted my eyelids and gave her the puppy eyes.

"Besides, Dayo is cute. Hot sef, why do you hate him like this?" Justice asked with a small smirk.

"Because I didn't mention Amir abi?" Empress retorted, raising an eyebrow. Justice blushed and turned away.

"I don't know what you are talking about" she mumbled.

"No now, you wouldn't know. Let me not talk. So they will not say Empress is talking too much" Empress said.

"So babe what do you say?" I asked her.

She sighed.

"I'm doing this because I love you and not because I want to. I want you to be happy so I'll do this for you. But if we are fighting with knives and swords, no body should talk oo" She said.

Knives and swords?

I nearly laughed. But had to keep a straight face so she wouldn't change her mind.

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I hope you don't regret this. Justice thank you too!" I squealed and hugged both of them tight.

"I hope so oo. I'm going to carry knife with me just in case." Empress mumbled, making us burst into laughter.

"Ah Empress. Dayo might not be all that bad you know. Maybe you just have to know him better?" Justice said.

"Hehe, I've known him for four years now. That's enough knowing of that idiot. If not for our positions, I would have killed him since" Empress grumbled.

"Empress!"

"Calm down na. Not kill kill, just get him out of my hair" she replied, rolling her eyes.

"You baffle me girl I swear" I said and shook my head with a smile on my face. Then something hit me, another message that I forgot to give my friends.

"Shit! I also forgot, we are going to meet together after closing bell today. To settle things up"

"For real?" Empress asked, looking pained. I wanted to laugh so much, but I dare not, knowing what she would do.

"Really. So get your knives ready"

"Great. I'll finally see some drama between you guys" Justice said and laughed. I smiled when Empress eyed her.

These girls.

Spoiler.

"C'mon, I'm doing my best here" he said with a low voice. A voice so soft, it almost sounded seductive.

"Space please" I managed to say while I stepped back. The cold wall met my cold back but I inched Into it, as if I wanted to disappear inside.

"Well sorry. Because I'm not gonna give it to you" he said with a small smirk. His eyes shone in the moonlight and I could see the wicked glint in them. He leaned in, his sweet breath hot on my face.  I bit my lip to restrict a moan.

"Mat-Mat..." I whimpered. He snaked his arms around my waist.

"Watch me pleasure you" he whispered and kissed me.
