LOVE? YA, THAT'S SO OBSESSION!

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN*

She looked over at him and smiled, " I am not sure, but I got an invitation and it didn't say plus one either so, I can't help you this time, again!" He beamed a smile while looking in her eye. " I get it, alright then, I will be at my aunt's, since I am not welcome here, have a nice time!" He revealed.

" Take care then!" Efya said when he nodded to that before walking away. Upon reaching outside, he noticed the whites were still making their noise but his eyes met Koffi's before Mila placed her head on his shoulder, just then Efya came out holding his Phone with her hands covered in flour.

" Hey, you left your phone!" She looked twice at Koffi who was only staring face blank, after Brad had left she turned to say hi to Koffi but he quickly reverted his eyes before she would, so she walked back inside.

" Hey guys, I will be with old J inside!" Koffi left them and went away. " What is wrong with him? Is he thinking there is something going on between Brad and I or what?"

Efya expressed her confusion before getting back to her work. She prepared many and different kinds and decided to take a rest because it was an hour to noon.

She raised the volume of her music and rested after locking her door. J saw Koffi pissed as he was rushing inside, " are you alright Koffi? Did something happen out there?" He inquired when Koffi exhaled, " not really, I just want to start making something, so that we will be ready by the time, it will be twelve soon!" He lied.

"Are you sure That's just it? It is at four so what's the hurry, you leave the setting up to me and your cousins, you can take care of only the kitchen stuff okay!"

He climbed the stairs to the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge, he gulped down everything and squeezed the empty bottle. "Why are you playing my head? He isn't even fit for you so why... Should I make you recognize me in my own way huh?" He vented before setting up to prepare dishes for the celebration.

Whiles chopping the ingredients, he had a notification which showed an update from Efya's online book, he placed on his headphones and played the audio from where he stopped, whiles getting back to work.

J came by and when he saw him in that position, he quickly guessed he might have seen something from Efya's yard.

He thought back to years ago when Koffi was going out with Mila just because he had convinced him to, but they broke up later when he revealed he had no feelings for her.

J thought perhaps, Efya's situation might be different. He walked away leaving him to do his work. He gathered his nephews and grandchildren and they began setting up everything for the celebration.

After lunch Efya went on to write more when a chat came through from Omar so she combined it with her writing.

Around three in the afternoon, Nancy  returned home claiming she did to help out but, Efya didn't believe her anyway. After having something to eat they proceeded to bake and fry the pastries, not long before which Sandra too returned.

She revealed her job closed at three and was amazed Nancy actually returned to help, " yeah! That is what she claims but I doubt it!" Efya placed across, "before we leave let's call up Obaa Milli, I miss her already!" Sandra said but Efya kicked against that.

" Girls she just got married, let's give her that space, before we know it she will follow the popular saying that married ladies shouldn't keep single friends, at least even if a week interval, that will be better!" They bought her idea before they heard the rhythm resonating out side.

The music was foreign so they could tell the party had began, Sandra and Efya dressed casually allowing room for air and on slippers too but Nancy stepped out of the room looking overly dressed, as if going to a night club.

She raised her eyes to meet their four wide once and saw she was odd too, " well you should have said something, this is how I grace such events!" She shared but Sandra laughed .

"This is too much girl, do you even have anything casual aside house dresses huh?" Sandra asked when Nancy looked her to the feet. " If you have something for me just go get it and stop this silly questions!" She raised her frustration before Sandra laughed away to get her something else.

"Seriously Nancy! You don't have anything casual? This is for hook up lady of the year award, it is that bad!" Efya said riling her up. " As if yours are the best, her holiness, modesty at its best!" Nancy rattled whiles Efya smiled at that.

" Are you mad at this? Visit my closet first before you assert anything, my dresses are too slim for your body type, I would have taken you for a free shopping there!" Efya replied when Sandra brought her the dress, she criticized it before placing it on.

They left exactly forty minutes after four. When they arrived, the gate was not locked so they walked in and halted after seeing the whites but Efya told them to not make it obvious.

Lucas after looking them up for a while inquired from old J who they were. He took them in as they saw his granddaughters and his son. The oldest looked thirteen and the son looked about thirty-one so they wondered when he could have married to give birth to her.

He went by the name Alexander, old J introduced everyone to them and the ladies introduced themselves too, the little girl came around and held Efya's trouser as she bent over to lift her up, Alex watched them smile and get comfortable with eachother, which got him smiling too.

Sandra handed over the basket of pastries which aroma filled the space already.
