Dark Desires

🌼 Chapter 8🌼

Dele's POV

Honestly speaking Ella did not look like the partying type, and she for sure didn't look or behave like people that weren't serious with their studies . I mean that's one of the main reason I approached her, she looked nervous and could use a friend plus I thought she was actually very beautiful so why not.

I have been to quite a lot of parties in my high school, yes, I did drink, i also did so many ungodly things I'm not even proud to remind myself talk more of saying it out loud. I know how parties work. I know so far boys and girls were involved in a party that had to do with drinking of any sorts, someone must surely show up with an alcoholic beverage and something must go down.

And any party at Unilag if God decides to show you mercy you'll just have the cool memory of it or well, for some let's just say it won't be such a pleasant memory.

I personally don't know Ella like that but from the few weeks we've been friends I can tell she's quite naive, vulnerable and innocent. Easy prey for boys. And that's what I'm fearing for her. Ella doesn't know how to take care of herself in a place like this.

"Dani has been giving me the cold shoulder!" Ella whined after our second class of the day, I chuckled shaking my head. "Why? Did u offend her?" I asked, she shook her head. "No. Everything was fine that Monday she was telling me her day and stuff and how she's going to pick out a cute outfit for us to wear on Saturday, and then we got home and she just started being cold to me."

I shrugged " Maybe she's on her period."

Ella rolled her eyes and did a cute pout folding her arms. "No."

I sighed, "I don't know you girls are very complicated I swear, just when you get home ask her Wetin sup."

" Come." She stood up stretching her hands out for me, I raised a brow at her . "Where are we going to?" I asked "Library, let's read. We have a quiz tomorrow." She replied, I smiled holding her hand, ignoring the weird feeling In my stomach.

ELLA's POV

" I think I'm in love."

Okay... okay..... hold on. That came out so wrong. What I meant was I think I had my first experience of love at first sight. I asked Dele to come with me to the library so we could study for our quiz tomorrow, and just as I was about to enter I nearly bumped into someone.

" careful." He said, I looked up and well if I tell you he's the finest guy I've seen in this school so far. Believe me. I couldn't even move. Or speak. I was just glued to the spot, staring up at him like the idiot that I am.

The guy raised a full brow at me , "Are you alright?" His voice, his hair, his eyes, his -

"Ella?" Dele grabbed my arm , apologizing to the guy before he dragged me into the library, breaking me from my trance " what is wrong with you? Why did you block that guys way?" He asked. " I- I, I was, he- I," I couldn't form the right words to describe how I felt right now, my heart and whole body was on fire. So much for coming to the library to study.

Now I can't get this mystery hottie out of my head.

"Who's he?" I asked Dele, he looked up from the book in front of him. " who?"
" that fair, fine boy I nearly bumped into earlier." I replied, Dele shrugged bored " How Am I supposed to know." I sighed going back to my reading, " yes! Maybe he'll be at the party on Saturday." I said excitedly abit too loudly. Some students that were studying turned to our table, " Ella this is a library for God's sake." Dele snapped, I frowned what's his own problem.

" Are you on your period or something?" I wiggled my brows, he scrunched his nose " Ella. Please. Just read." I rolled my eyes and stared at my book. " I need to know his name." I muttered to myself.

"Hm." Dele replied, I looked up and saw him reading with a scowl on his face.

Seriously what's his own issue? I haven't sorted Danielle's cold attitude. Dele too wants to start his own.

I bet his name is just as pretty as he is. And he's so tall too, damn I bet he'll look hotter without that hoodie he was wearing, and he looked like he loved baggy. I loved Boys that wore baggy, I don't know if his curly hair was natural or not but fuck. Wow, his lips were pink too, what if he sees me and talks to me on Saturday?! I'd literally faint... okay, not literally. But you get the point. I still can't wrap my head around how fine he is, wow God really took his time on this guy.

I couldn't stop thinking about him throughout the day. David is handsome no doubt but Damn he won't stand a chance with this guy, I wonder what he's studying, maybe architecture or mechanical engineering something like that he looks like he's into all this technical stuffs. But then again how would I know?

" Ella! Seriously what is wrong with you?" Dele asked annoyed I flushed " sorry." I packed my writing materials and put them in my bag, " I've been talking to you and you were so lost in whatever you were thinking." He said, I sighed " sorry." I repeated
" I hope it's not that boy , better not lose focus you haven't even see anything yet " Dele continued, I looked at him confused " What?" I asked as we got to the Bench under the tree so I'd wait for Dani, and as usual Dele waited with me to keep me company. " fashi." He answered.

5:45

" ah. Are you sure this your cousin is still coming?" Dele asked looking at his wrist watch, I called her again but she wasn't answering, I was getting scared. " should we go to her department? They're still there right?" I asked Dele, he shook his head. " they close 4, there might be some students still wandering around but it's quite a walk from here and it's getting late." I was restless, I dialed her number again and again and again. No answer.

" you know what Ella. Go home, maybe she decided to head home straight." He said, I shook my head " No! Dani won't go home without me, I'll wait a few more minutes." I answered stubbornly.

Dele sighed looking at his wristwatch. " We have quiz tomorrow Ella, it's getting late." I shook my head " Go. I'm waiting here. Maybe something held her but she's coming." Dele sat down beside me, " I'm not leaving you here alone, it's getting dark and it's dangerous."

6:12

" she's not coming is she?" I asked sadly looking at Dele, he shook his head " Cmon don't be worried she's fine okay? Just go home and check first." I sighed getting up " what if she's not home?" The possibility of something happening to Dani made me feel sick to my stomach. " Be positive, she's fine." Dele assured holding my hand, he escorted me all the way to school gate and booked a keke for me.

Dele is so sweet.

When I got home I used my spare key to open the door praying hard that Dani was fine and was sound asleep in her bed. I carefully opened the door and went in.
