Ambivalent

Song of the chapter: Love don't cost a dime.

🎶🎶She no want the Gucci bag nor the Bentley
Yeah she give me butterfly in belly. 🎶🎶

"Can i have some?" he asked politely, his right hand outstretched but i draw back my hand which was holding the sugary, milk coated popcorn away from him.

"No"

"No? But i bought it?"

"Then why didn't you buy your own?" I chided, munching nosily on my popcorn.

"I wanted to eat from yours" i shook my head like a child at his statement.

"No" i said with finality.

He chuckled at my childish antics. Pulling me closer that I could feel his body heat, placing my hand on his chest to stop him from going further.

"Easy there big guy... "

"What?" the sound of his voice turning playful while he grinned. He moved his face closer causing me to gasp as i pull away, looking around frantically, hoping no one saw that move.

"We are in public... What are you trying to do?" i asked in mortification.

"What do you think i am trying to do?" the playful undertone still present.

"You were trying to kis-" i bit my lip knowing that he was trying to put me at a corner.

We were at the pavilion and anyone could see us.

"I am trying to kiss you" i blushed at his blunt statement.

"In public?"

"Yes. Everyone knows we are together"

"Yes but i really don't appreciate PDA. Dating or not" he pouts at my defiance.

"Just a quick kiss" he moved fast but i was quick enough, blocking his lips with the bag of popcorn in my hand.

I smirked as he groaned out.

"If it isn't the new love birds of SJC" the poisonous undertone emitting from her voice almost made me shiver in my seat.

I move away from him immediately, avoiding eye contact with her, her mere presence suddenly left me suffocated.

"Good afternoon Celine, how may we help you?" he asked casually but he sounded bored all the same, placing a protective arm around my shoulders, which i am very grateful for.

I hear her scoff as i slowly ate my popcorn knowing she was giving me the evil eye.

"I still find it hard to believe that you are together with this-this tramp~"

"I will advise that you take back your statement" his voice suddenly going cold and reaching a dangerous tone we were all familiar with.

"Does your mum know about her?" she asked out of the blue. I pause when Akorede hesitated, i turn to look at him to see him glaring at Celine.

I don't think we had gotten to that stage whereby our parents had to know about us, we are in Nigeria for good sake but... Why does he look worked up about that question?

"What does my mum have to do with this?"

"Nothing..." i stole a glance in her direction and of course she was glaring down at me but i can still see that smug look on her face "A quick advice to you girl... I will advise you quickly grab whatever you can from him because he is just going to screw your virgin ass and once he had had enough, he his going to dump you in the mud!"
