BECAUSE I LOVED HIM

A blessing

When I got home that day, I couldn't help thinking about Dele I kept smiling like an idiot, I slept off tiredly and dreamt about Dele.
    "Tayo,Tayo, wake up" I felt a gentle tap on my shoulder, I opened my eye slightly, it was my cousin Oreoluwa. "What" I said as I sat up on the bed yawning And stretching my hands "how was today? I mean the screening, hope it wasn't too stressful?" She asked me "not really, thank God" I answered sleepily as I narrated the whole of everything that happened to me including how I met Dele and how he directed me excluding the fact that I'd fallen for him so I won't hear sermon from ore, yes, sermon, ore is so good in giving sermons "well thank God you were not too late" she said "please don't tell me this is the reason why you woke me" I asked as my brain just boot she nodded her head "no,that's wicked of you, I was in dreamland" I said faking sad face "That's your punishment for not following me yesterday" she replied sticking her tongue out playfully "that's because you were going with Toluwani yesterday and you know I hate being in the company of that girl" I said irritatedly "ahn ahn Taaayooo,what did she do for you,you're always jealous, you know Toluwani is my best friend and you're my sister, do you now think I'll now neglect you because of Tolu, no nah"she said smiling and tinkled me "leave me alone leave me alone jorh"I said as ore continued to tickle me until I burst out laughing then ore told me all about her day and the different people she met yesterday. I live with Ore's parents since my father suddenly abandoned my mother and i,my mother died of hypertension two years later when I was just 10 years old, it was ore who helped me recover from my shock of losing my parent ever since then I got stuck on her she has been my one and only friend and sister so I get jealous when I see with another person, well I'm a very jealous girl and I get pretty annoyed when I see someone I love with someone else, its my greatest weakness. I tell ore all my mind never keeping any thing away from her and so does she. Her parents are good people, Ore's father is my mother's older brother and his wife took me in as her second daughter. Ore and I are the same age just that ore is four month older than me she has an older brother who is now a successful lawyer his name is Broda Tunji. I felt completely blessed being part of their family.
