Dark Desires

🌻Chapter 18🌻

Jameel was the last person I expected to chat me up.

Not after what happened that day at the party. Him kissing Stella, me leaving the party and having a breakdown and depending on Dele to come to my rescue... He always Does.

I didn't know how to react, I kept staring at my phone for what felt like hours, until the rumbling of the sky told me it was better I head inside or else I'll get drenched by the rain... that is, if it rains anyway.

It was a simple message, nothing extraordinary.  Just a simple greeting. But why was my heart beating faster than usual. Could it be because of Jameel's text or because I literally made out with Dele In his car a few minutes ago, if not for my mom's call interrupting us I wonder how far we would've gone.

I felt my cheeks heating up.

I typed the only response my brain could come up with at the moment.

Hi.

I quickly switched off my phone shoving it into my purse before using my spare key to open the door. I didn't want to knock, and I most definitely didn't want Danielle questioning my whereabouts, not like she'd talk to me or anything.

I missed her though.

I sighed dropping my purse on my bed, and flinging my shoes to the other side of my room, I'll deal with that later, I laid on my back on my bed, my mind going over how sweet and romantic Dele had been all night, and how irresistible he looked.

He really is a fine boy.

So is Jameel... apparently.

I groaned, why can't I stop comparing them?! They're clearly two different people with very very different personalities, well, I don't know Jameel like I know Dele but it's obvious Dele would beat him in the romance game any time, any day without even trying.

I subconsciously reached out and fumbled with the bracelet on my wrist.

I saw it online and I thought you might like it, I remembered you told me you loved roses one time like that.

I felt like I was on cloud nine. I hugged my pillow tightly to my chest a broad smile playing on my lips.

I bit my bottom lips, thinking of how perfect our hands looked intertwined, how adorable he looked whenever he laughed, his dimples going in, and how his cute eyes twinkled whenever he looked at me. I could melt... literally.

It's obvious I was madly in love with Dele.

I remembered the first day I started school how He almost ran all the way to where I was panting slightly, his height was not the only thing that surprised me it was how cute he was, well cute wasn't the right word to describe how he looked, more like handsome and smart but facially he's adorable. The point is I'm very glad he spoke to me and we became friends.

Well I don't think we would call each other friends now.  Are we friends though? I mean he didn't ask me to be his girlfriend. Plus as much as I love everything about him, was I sure I was 100% ready to be in another relationship. Especially not when Jameel was always at the back of my mind.

Dele deserves someone who will give him their 100%. I'm not sure if I can do that, well at least I'm not sure I can at the moment.

If I want to be with Dele then I'd have to kill any feelings I have for Jameel.

For Dele and maybe for the sake of my relationship with Danielle.

After I had freshen up and changed into my comfy pajamas, I wasn't really hungry so I slid under my duvet and switch on my phone only to see messages dropping in like I haven't been online for weeks, mostly from the different groups I was in some random greetings from unknown numbers I didn't care to find out, I scrolled to where Dele's chat was, just in time to see a text message come in from him.

Great , now he's going to think I was some kind of creep waiting in his dm for him to text .

I was expecting him to text but, not like I was waiting all day constantly in his dm, I mean I would have but I- nevermind.

💕Dele- Hey momma, are you asleep?

I couldn't help the smile forming on my lips, I loved it when a guy called me Momma, and coming from Dele just made my knees weak.

Me: I'm actually just coming online🤭

Almost immediately my message ticked blue, and he was typing .

I chuckled.

💕Dele: Good because I was missing you like crazy 😭😭😒

Me: I'm sorry bby, but what's with the last emoji.

💕Dele: because I miss you sm😔

I giggled.

Me: I'm sorry baby, I'm here now 😗

💕Dele: is it okay if I call you rn?

I sat up straight hugging my pillow tightly I texted a reply.

Me: of course.

💕Dele: give me a few seconds okay?

Me: ok

I sighed randomly scrolling absent mindlessly through one of the group chats called.                 ❤️S.I.N.G.L.E.S❤️

I nearly laughed out loud. Who even makes this groups and who even added me.

Unknown: you left the party the other day without any heads up. Did anything happen? Are you alright?

Jameel.

I was about to reply him when a call from Dele stopped me, Jameel can wait.

Dele and I spoke for what felt like forever, after we ended the call it was actually 3 hours, damn. I stretched tiredly, tomorrow was Sunday, a day before I go back to school. I was annoyed at the thought but the thought of seeing Dele again made me wish Monday was tomorrow already.

Unknown: are you still there. Ella?
Unknown: are you asleep. 😅 nevermind good night beautiful.

I didn't want to reply but reflex, I swear I didn't know when I found myself sending a reply.

Me: sorry I was on a call with a friend.

I saved his number.

Jameel🍂: it's okay I was kinda waiting for you 🌚

I blushed hard. Snuggling into my duvet.

Me: is that so😏

And we ended up chatting till 2 Am. 

justice for Dele 😤
