Yours

Chapter 13

I laughed together with hauwa so hard that my my stomach was starting to hurt from pain

I gasped for air as I brought my fist to my mouth to help control my laughs.

I turned to look at Hauwa only to burst out laughing again after I looked at her face.

She was laughing so much that she started to cry and the tears caused her kwalli to smudge and her tears were running down her face in black lines.

I fetched my phone on the table and I opened the camera app and I turned it to her so she could see herself.

She shrieked before going into another streak of laughter.

Gosh I have not laughed this much in sooo long!

I'm sure if everyone else wasn't laughing along with us I'm sure I and Hauwa will be kicked out because hauwa's laugh was the loudest!

This was what was going on, Aliyu and Fahad, Umar's cousin were engaging in a dance off and when I tell you they both CANT DANCE!

Like it was so terrible,bad, literally all the negative words you could think of!

They're a disgrace to Nigeria because what was that legwork Aliyu was trying to do??

I and Hauwa sobered up after they finished dancing and we clapped and hollered at them as if we didn't finish laughing at how embarrassing they were.

"Don't ever try that again!" Halima screamed from somewhere in front of us and half of the hall cackled along with us.

Originally when Hameeda started planning she wanted a small intimate surprise dinner for Umar but I don't know at which point she ditched the plan because right now we were seated in a medium sized hall with about a hundred people.

Small and intimate has left the chat.

But I don't blame her though, that man knew way too many people.

But it is his 30th and she wanted it to be amazing.

Hauwa excused herself to go fix up her make up and I took it upon myself to get us both more dessert.

That's what we've been doing for the first hour so far, stuffing our face with food and laughing our butts off.

I went to the dessert table and I picked up two tiny plates of cake slices, chocolate fudge for me and vanilla for Hauwa because she's allergic to anything chocolate.

I pity her I can't lie...I really do.

I was about to turn away from the dessert table when I turned to see Damilola.

I immediately scowled.

He had the nerve to smile wickedly at me.

Why is he here??? I hate Hameeda!

"Ah, you're here, oga's pet" he said as he picked up a plate of cream caramel.

We've gone our separate ways then why is he acting like we know each other???

"Why are you talking to me?" I asked.

I even blame myself for acknowledging him.

"Because I can?" He asked.

I hissed "see, I don't know you please, that's how we act at the office, so don't come here and be forming fake niceness."

"Niceness? You think this is me being nice? This is me merely trying to tolerate your presence" he scowled back at me.

And who told you to tolerate me?? WHY did you speak to me.

I hate this man so much.

If it was someone else I wouldn't have gotten upset very quick.
