Hakeem's pov

Am not a morning person, i would kill for an extra five minutes in bed.
That was my first thought waking up today feeling grumpy whilst turning to my back glaring at my window sill because i tend to leave my window open to let in the cool night breeze and consiquently also allowing the morning sunrays to  burn my feet with its heat, I quickly got up lazily using one hand to grab the curtain that hanged loosely on the side and swing it to cover the part where my feet were being tortured, I was about to lay in bed again when I noticed the clock hanging on tue wall oposite to my bed, again, am not a morning person so it took sometime for me to gather my thoughts and memories as of why the clock made me feel giddy today.
That's when it clicked, the clock showed it was 7;43 A.M, today was the day of the trip to South Africa, Joburg.
" Remember the plane leaves at 9:30 A.M so I expect all of you to be present at 8:00 sharp " The voice of the dean repeated itself in my head. I swear i never have gone out of bed that quickly before, I didn't bother getting dressed, this situation is somebody's fault and its sure as hell ain't mine. I went straight to Saul's room, didn't even bother knocking, went in and closed the door.
The sight I saw made me rethink my outburst, Damn, how can a guy look that sexy even when asleep. Seemed like he didn't have the time to put on his pjs last night because he was sound asleep laying on his tummy wearing a tight black brief that grabbed his big butt nicely, on one hand laid a phone on the brink of falling off and the other was loosely hanging off the bed. He looked so cute even with drool on his face, I could stare at this forever.... wait, just got an idea, grinning i slowly opened the door again and crept back to my room, grabbed my phone on the night stand then went back to Saul's room, slowly creeping in again i got in and took a few snapshots of the sleeping beauty, 15 photos is a few right?.
After that situation, i composed myself to act like am mad he overslept
"Saul!!! You lazy warthog" i shouted. He frantically woke up and looked at the direction where the voice came from, when he saw me his face turn into a scowl, then as if waking up fully his face quickly turned surprised
" christ!! Hakeem what time is it?!" He asked quickly getting up not even bothering to cover himself up " and why do you have a boner?" He added after standing holding his phone, fuck! My cover is blown
"It is now 8:05 you dumb dumb and its morning wood, quite common you know," I retorted crossing my arms not bothering to cover my erection through my boxer. He raised a brow
" they happen at 5... you know what go change quickly we are late am not even going to shower, the dean is going to kill us, shit!" He frantically rumbled walking past me and going to the bathroom
" why didn't you wake up early so you could wake me up early, now look what happened!" I said leaning on the door to the bathroom
" what!? I dont have time for this you big baby go fix your self up or am leaving without you and am serious Hakeem!" He shouted since he opened the sink faucet.
" fine, but remember its all your fault" i ended the argument then went back to my room to clean myself up.
35 minutes later i went down the stairs with my laguage finding Saul wearing a light translucent longsleeved blue shirt with beige shorts, matching down with beige coloured sneakers, as a shy guy that he is, he also wore a cape and sun glasses.
Ma was also downstairs talking with somebody on the phone guessing its the dean.
On my part i just wore khaki tousers and a black t shirt that matched my sandles, yeah not a stylish dude, Saul always took care of my wardrobe. The disappointment in his face when he saw what I was wearing says it all, i just shrugged what did he expect. When ma saw me she motioned for us to go to the car, it was already outside the gate, i took my suitcase and Saul's in both my hands while he carried the small bags, we were fallowing Esma to the car.... we got in and Esma took the driver's seat
"Yes, I know professor as I told you my son was feeling very sick, we are actually coming out of the hospital right now, i promise we will be there in a few...... yes I understand, yes.... thank you dean, okay..... later bye" she quickly hung up and sighed while starting the car then quickly begun driving
"Thank God am an impromptu liar, why the hell are you two late I thought you would have been gone by now thats why I didn't bother checking?" She said eyeing both of us with a rear view mirror since we were both sitting at the back
She was glaring at us, i was eyeing at Saul for a responce, then I noticed something off, he was staring down like his mind was somewhere else
"Hey, kiki?" I called, then he snapped out of his trance and looked at me
"Um sorry, what?"
" you okay sweet heart? we can cancel the flight and just get you two there tomorrow its no problem," Ma asked worringly
" you okay?" I asked again holding his hand, he smiled
" am okay, am just surprised I didn't set an alarm yesterday thats all" he said dismisively
"Happens to the best of us sweety, and your lucky we don't live far from the airport" Ma said finishing the sentence with a chuckle
