LOVE? YA, THAT'S SO OBSESSION!

CHAPTER TWENTY -ONE

"That was too straightforward I mean, I wanted to just chat in order to get you settled!" Nancy voiced quite embarrassed.

" I thought as much but, don't give a f*ck about my sh*t! Once you begin, there won't be going back and... Everyone is out there, they might have different thoughts!" He clarified when Nancy smirked.

" Who's thoughts are you most worried about?" As she was talking Efya was coming around to call her so they could leave, she took a pause and listened in. "Is it Efya? You would be the luckiest if you come last on her list, she doesn't see you, Hun! She sees no man and by that I don't mean she's into women!" Koffi laughed when she said that.

" You can never be more right, I like her personality and her composure, it's hard not to notice her!" He delineated.

"Oh yeah, but I'm more honest and open, I can say I am more visible compared to her, I wouldn't mind becoming the mirror, your gazes and focus are welcome!" She emptied her can when Efya walked inside.

Nancy stood a little startled but played it off, " Nancy, time to head back home!" She placed across and glanced at Koffi who had his gaze stationed at her. " Alright, time to go, thanks for the beer!" Nancy said and walked pass her.

As Efya motioned to walk away, he hurried with his words, "thanks for helping earlier! And for coming..." Efya stared back at him unwilling to utter a word when he walked towards her.

" Your silence Is speaking a lot but, I don't think you need the replies, I will keep minding my business, here... I got you a gift, I planned to hand it to you before you leave!" He placed in her hand a cute gift bag.

He walked away before she left too. Old J showed his appreciation and Area wouldn't want Efya leaving without her, Old J noticed the familiar smile of Alex's eyes whiles staring at her.

"I hope you don't result to what you are imagining, I won't watch that happen!" Old J revealed to him before walking inside.

Koffi climbed up towards the barricade to watch them enter their apartment. Nancy kept glancing at Efya who had gathered her lips sealed, she thought Efya heard them chatting and could be mad at her.

Up until they reached the door, Efya took a pause and looked towards him, she gently waved the gift bag to his face whiles he nodded to that before they entered.

Sandra noticed Nancy sneaking around and stood akimbo to observe her . " That was warm... Is everything alright between you two?" She inquired.

Efya entered her room and hesitantly open the gift bag, it was a pair of luxurious earrings, made of pure silver and diamond. She smiled and tried them on in front of her mirror. They looked cute on her.

A knock came on her door and whiles responding, she hid the gift. Nancy came in and the atmosphere seemed tensed.

"Did you perhaps hear what Koffi and I were discussing earlier? I feel like you did but don't want to talk about it!" Nancy inquired, " yes! I did... Do you like him?" Efya threw back at her when she found a seat for herself. " I think there's something which is beginning to look like that, do you think it will be a problem if I allow myself to go for him?" Efya took a while staring at her and that question.

She looked towards the direction of the gift and back to her again, " the truth is, I think he likes me, I mean from his actions and all, will that not be a problem for you?" She finally replied as Nancy felt to be more clear with her.

" Yeah, I know that, what I want to know is if you also like him, as for him liking you, I can always work around it but your side is the most important to me, do you have feelings for him too?" She sounded quite desperate.

" I... I don't know, I can't tell what might happen in the future, I cannot outrightly claim not to have feelings for him now, if he continuously come at me I don't know what will happen then!" Efya's reply sounded more complicated to Nancy whiles she tried to wrap her head around it.

" You make sense to yourself with what you said right now but, I don't know what all that meant, a yes or no would work perfectly but, I think I should make my intentions known, I will pursue him, I want to do that and I hope you can deal with the situation."

She walked out leaving Efya thinking.

Koffi walked back down and Lucas was waiting for him. " I want to talk!" Lucas made known, " about what? So I can prepare myself this time!" Koffi replied and walked pass him to grab a drink.

" You know Mila is still obsessed with you right? I only prepared a platform for you to clear things up with her!" Lucas stated winning a stare from him.

" Really? Just that... Not because you have feelings for her?" Koffi inquired, " I used to but not anymore, I think staying for a while will create something interesting, my heart has seen something different!" He smiled after his statement when Koffi got a hint of it by adding one and two things.

Before he would utter a word, Mila came over, " you said we would talk about it, have you stomped on it or something?" She rushed with her words.

" Let me leave you guys to it, good luck handsome!" Lucas teased and walked away. Koffi released a heavy sigh and proceeded to offer her a can too, but she turned down his offer, " is it really necessary to discuss such a past, I mean? I had no intentions of hurting you or anybody I just..." Koffi let out that frustration.

" Well, you could have said something before it all started, from my side, I thought we had something genuine going, that you felt the same way I felt about you but now... I feel stupid, like, I couldn't even play it cool in front of everybody. That was embarrassing, Koffi!" Mila let it all out as she expressed her feelings.
