  This was the umpteenth time I'm begging Tiara to go shopping rather than me today, but she won't yield giving the excuse that she's always been the one going. The nonsense girl did not count the many times we went together oo.
 

    "You better quickly start going, I won't follow you oo", Tiara said and I knew there was no point begging her coconut head any longer.

  "Ehn, I will go , is it not to go shopping? I will go nah but just let me hear you complain about anything I purchase, you will see pepper ",I said and stormed off to the bedroom, took off my lingeries and hopped in the shower.

    The overhead sun was emitting so much heat today, so I decided to wear a sleeveless dress, it was one of the many sundresses my mum had gifted me but I haven't been wearing them .

  I walked to the mirror to adjust the supposed creases and I couldn't help but admire how good it looked on me. The dress hugged my body so well but well, exposed a little too much of my skin.

   I wasn't a person of too much clothing but this was not me either . I looked again to the mirror to admire it for the last time before taking it off then I saw Tee grinning like goat right behind me. I was scared as hell. When did the werey even enter.

    "Tiara! Are you okay? Do you want to kill me?",I asked adding ginger but she still didn't respond,she just stood there still smiling like an idiot.

    "The next time you sneak  up on me ,ehn,ko ni funny and again I wonder how struck you are by my beauty, you couldn't even hide it,girl,you were gawking",I said and turned back to the mirror.

   " I didn't sneak ,you were just too busy thinking about what Marcus might say when he sees you in this dress", Tee said and threw herself on the bed.

    "What do you mean! Oh my God, Tiara,why is he even coming up when I wasn't even thinking about that! I was contemplating whether to take off the dress or not",I said rolling my eyes at her.

   "Contem...kini? And what was your resolve oo?" She asked sitting up.

    "To take it off of course, it's too exposing,see my..."

   "Keep quiet joor,later you will say you don't have boyfriend,when did you become a Nun that I didn't know of it?" Tee accused.

   "Tiara!"

   "Kini? Leave me alone oo,if you don't wear that dress then don't wear anything at all".

   " Ehn,okay nah,I will kuku just sit at home and let the materials shop themselves",I said leaning on the dressing table.
 
    " You say wetin?" Tee asked cocking her ear.

    " I said I wasn't going to..."

     "Won bi e da,they did not born you well", she interrupted.

     " Ehn what nau,I said I can't wear cloth and you said I should wear it by force,what should I nau do",I said trying to zip down the dress but stopped when I heard a car honk outside. I looked at Tee and she looked away almost immediately,then I knew she'd done something.

   " Set you up with Marcus?"
 
   Oh no.

  "Tiara, who's that?" I demanded but she didn't answer.

    "Tiara!"

    "It's the Uber driver",she answered and I was relieved.

   "Or disappointed".

   "Did I send you?"

   "No,sha quickly go so that the man will not insult you and you know if he horns more, people around might rebuke him oo", Tee said pulling the duvet over her body.
