LOVE? YA, THAT'S SO OBSESSION!

CHAPTER TWENTY*

"Of course I am, I know how to swim, she doesn't!" Efya hastily replied before  heading to where Koffi was taking Nancy.

He placed her down and pressed her chest until she coughed out water, she fluttered her eyes open twice and saw everyone staring down at her.

" Are you okay Nancy?" Efya ask when Sandra brought a towel old J had given her, Efya wrapped it around her and sat her up. "Are you alright huh?" Koffi enquired from Efya.

" Yeah, I am, thanks for helping her!" She replied, " sorry everyone, I missed a step, I am good, thank you for saving me!" Nancy placed across and gave Koffi an unfamiliar stare.

" Don't mention, Mila will fetch you something to change into!" Koffi pinched them a smile before heading inside to change into something else, Lucas did same too.

Mila called the girls over and left with them to her room. " He's cool, isn't he?" Mila enacted a conversation, " are you guys dating or something? You seem too close to be just friends I mean?" Nancy probed but Efya was more eager for the answer.

" We do, don't we? We once were a couple until he called it off, I have dated two times after him but, none was as great as him, he is gentle, understanding and caring!" Mila went on to say.

" He is, isn't he? You guys are too glued to be just exes!" Nancy revealed again, " yeah, I want him back! I want to be with him again and forever this time!" Mila's revelation got Nancy pissed a little.

" I think we are done here, shall we leave now?" She proceeded to walk out when Efya followed. " I will get water from the kitchen!" Efya said and climbed up, when she got there, Koffi was warming water, whiles slicing lemons.

Seeing as he was still in his wet clothes she thought he came there to do that rather than going to change, he sensed her presence, " get me four glasses from that cabinet?" He instructed as she did right away, he took the kettle and filled them up, it contained lemon juice and he placed the sliced ones in there too.

" Where is your friend? Give her one !" He turned to face her when her eyes fell on his chest, she instantly recalled the incident at the party two nights ago.

" If you keep doing that, you will fall for me in no time!" He whispered to her when she reverted her eyes. "Save it, thanks for this!" She walked away a little embarrassed.

" Your head seems too stubborn than your heart, that's where I am heading Efya, I just read you well!" He said to himself before going to change.

Around seven in the evening, they lighted the bonfire and old J gave his speech of appreciation to them, especially Efya and her her friends.

It was time for a more personal game they titled truth or dare, which had an escape root of drinking a glass of alcoholic wine if you find any of the two difficult to do.

They began with light weight questions until Lucas switched it up, " Efya, truth or dare?" He asked, when she smiled, "truth!" Along her reply, "have you ever been curious to know your ex's whereabout?" Lucas inquired when Nancy casually threw the situation out there, " how will that be possible when her ex lives in her house!" She said, getting everyone to look at Efya full of questions.

She had no choice but to explain why that was the situation to them and Koffi felt his worries had been solved, but little did he know Lucas still held a grudge against him, "Koffi, truth or dare?" He asked, "truth!" Koffi gave it no thought before choosing.

" I hope it is the truth though, why did you break up with Mila?" His question got Mila revolting against it. " Was it really because you fell out of love with her or... You had never had any feelings for her,that you were basically doing old J a favour?" Lucas's revelation got everyone gasping.

" What? Why will you say that?" Mila asked when Koffi chose to drink, his act told everyone the latter was the real reason, " what? Koffi is that really what it was huh?" Mila nearly shed a tear, while Nancy smirked at that.

"Seriously? That's cruel!" Sandra uttered, when he looked over at Efya as if expecting her point of view too. " I don't think that is cruel? She wanted it, didn't she? It's rather unfair to him, to have been with someone he was forced to be with!" Nancy came to his rescue.

"Regardless of that I don't think it is right to play with others emotions, he still had a choice, to say no to all that and be unfilial or to go ahead with it maintaining a good impression in their books!" Efya shared her opinion after Nancy's support.

" I am sorry Mila but I prefer to talk this out with you alone, so can we do that later huh?" Koffi finally said something.

" Shall we end it here and do something else , I mean it's going south now!" Sandra uttered. Koffi excused himself in the name of going for water in the kitchen. Once he entered, Nancy came after him.

" You know what is the turn off about you huh? How much you allow people's opinions to affect you, what validation can anyone really give you? She got to be happy because you chose to honour a father's desire, you rather traded your happiness and that should feel like a loss to you!" She explicated when Koffi gave her a smirk.

"I thought, my second hand face was the turn off, you know, because kpop idols already won Nancy, as much as you are right in your own way, I believe I shouldn't have gone ahead with it when I felt uneasy!" Koffi said, and got two cans of beer for them to drink.

" Siding with Efya I guess?" Nancy threw at him when he smirked, " not necessarily, but she is right though, I just didn't have the confidence to turn it down!" His revelation got Nancy shaking her head.

"I will never feel guilty for something I did to others benefit, why will I do something like that in the first place? I don't give a damn about anybody's mess!" She clarified getting a stare from Koffi who was beginning to think she was feeling too comfortable with him.

"Shall we end it here?"
