Dark Desires

🌻Chapter 16🌻

11: 23 Am

I stretched getting up from my bed and heading to the bathroom to do my usual morning routine. I was surprised despite all the stress and headache of last night I woke up feeling refreshed and excited for whatever reason. I just couldn't pinpoint the actual reason behind my excitement.

I was brushing my teeth when it hit me.

I have a freaking date with Dele today in the evening.

I squealed excitedly doing a happy dance in my bathroom. I don't know why I was just so freaking excited, maybe because I was going to hang out with him outside of school and on a date.

I sighed dreamily, doing my skin care, he's so gosh. I've never felt like this for him before, I recalled on the first day of school when he first spoke to me. I thought he was cute and tall. Like basketball tall, plus he looked very responsible and neat.

I love his height.

I went back to my room to play You mean to tell me by Tatiana Manaois on my Music player on full volume. I'd probably be disturbing the neighbors on this Saturday morning but who gives a flying fuck.

I use to think that I would never fall in love....
And then you showed me that you could be everything I want....
I gave my heart away...
They put it on a shelf...
And took it down only to break it into pieces...
And then you came around...
picked me up off the ground...
You put me back together...
I cannot believe it....

After I was done singing my lungs out to the song, I took a long shower and decided to wear a baggy T shirt and shorts. After breakfast I'd come pick out an outfit to wear for later.

I went straight to the kitchen, I wasn't really hungry so I decided to just make myself noodles. I put the pot with a little water on the fire and put it in my veggies and spices I heard a groan coming from the living room.

I froze.

It might be Danielle, or not. I reached out and grabbed the kitchen scissors as my weapon to defend myself in case o.

No be me una go rob the early morning.

I tiptoed into the small living room and saw Danielle sitting on the floor with her hand on her head.

I dropped my hands to my side and relaxed.

Well, look who's back.

She looked up and saw me, she rolled her eyes and stood up still holding her head. "Where are the pain killers?" She asked.

"Check my bathroom drawer." I replied flatly.

She nodded, bumping into me before she passed she stopped midday and said "I don't know what funny idea is going on in your head about Jameel. Better Remove him from your mind if you want peace in this house." She warned walking away.

I stood glaring daggers at the back of her head.

I wasn't the type to fight over a boy. But Jameel? There was no way I was going to back down without a fight.

He is my mystery hottie after all and if I wasn't mistaken wasn't she the one who said I should always fight for what I want?

I was tired of letting her walk all over me.

I hissed loudly humming as I went back to the kitchen to dish my food.

1:40 Pm.

I was bored. I was so fucking bored, I had already picked out an outfit, I decided to go for a crop top and high waisted jeans with my sneakers. Simple yet cute.

Should I call Dele?

I shook my head deciding against that. He might be busy.

Danielle had been in her room for hours, not that I cared though...

We usually spent our Saturdays gisting and gossiping about school, I sighed laying on my bed.

Time should fly fast ni.

I picked up my phone and scroll through my contact to see any reasonable person I could call.

🦋Ama🎀

I nervously dialed her number, waiting for her to pick up. What was I even going to tell her? Should I apologize or just act casual? Should I tell her about Dele and Jameel or should I narrate what happened between David and-

"Hi Ama! Wassup, it's Ella speaking." I said immediately she picked up.

"Ama isn't here." I heard a male voice say.

"Oh. Well when she comes back can you tell her Ella Maria called? Lala." I was abit relived and disappointed at the same time.

Relived because I was so freaking nervous, I don't know where to start from. I haven't spoken to her in a while now.

"Sure." The person replied before ending the call.

TikTok then I guess.

4:33 Pm

Hungry.

I decided to try out this banana and pineapple smoothie I saw online, it looked really yummy, plus I always wanted to use my cute cup with a straw now I have a good reason too.

I went into the kitchen to bring out what I needed to make the smoothie. I opened the fridge and discovered that the banana I left in here were gone. Earlier today I saw it when I opened this fridge and now they're gone ?

Danielle.

And she even had the audacity to leave the peels on the counter knowing fully well she could easily dispose of them in the trash can.

I took deep breaths to calm myself.

I marched towards her room and banged on the door. She wants to behave like an animal? Fine. Two can play at this game.

"Danielle!" I banged the door with my Palm. "Danielle I know you can hear me open this Goddamn door!" I cried

She swung the door open and eyed me. "When did this one start ?"

"Since you lost your brain cells Danielle." I snapped  " You know those bananas were for me. You knew fully well and you ate them. Not even one or two the whole bunch! And you left the peels on the counter for who? Me to clean up? As per your house help naw." I mocked laughed folding my arms across my chest.

"Is that all? " she asked bored.

"What do you mean is that all?" My patience was getting thinner by the minute.

"Ehen? Because of ordinary banana you're busy hitting my door like a mad woman. Abeg, come back when you buy sense." She slammed the door to my face.

I clinched my fist in anger.

Game on Danielle Idorenyin.
