Morning came with cool air and soft breeze. Derin opened her eyes to find herself laying her head on Nonso's thigh. They had both slept off in the living room while watching The Wedding Party. She opened her eyes, they landed on the figurine beside the decoder, she averted her gaze. It moved to the thigh she lay on. Sitting up, she moved her leg to the floor and stood up. Nonso had his head rested on the arm of the couch.

She tapped him.

"Nonso," he stirred immediately, opening his eyes.

"Yeah?" He murmured.

She smiled. "The room, let's go."

"What's the time?" He asked as he wore his soft pam made of furr. He glanced at her feet. "Where is your slipper."

She moved beside him and wore the slipper he'd bought her immediately.

"It's five."

"Wow. We must have been tired," he placed a kiss on her forehead and moved around her to walk into his room.

She bent down and started clearing the living room. She packed up the plate they'd put the chin-chin they'd shared in, alongside the juice pack and the glass tumblers. She headed to the kitchen with them. She trashed the juice pack and washed off the tumblers and plate. Taking the broom by the corner, she headed back to sweep the living room.

Nonso raises a brow as she walks in.

"I want to sweep this place out."

He shakes his head. "The cleaner comes by mid day, when I'm gone so she can clean up. Just leave it. Besides we have an event today."

"What event?"

"Eh... I was going to ask you," he offered a tight smile. "It's Michelle's birthday."

Derin drops the broom. "Michelle as in your ex?"

She'd known about it, but she didn't know Nonso planned to go.

"Seriously? Why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't think you'd want to come.."

Derin rolled her eyes. "Did you sleep with her?"

Nonso's eyes widened. "Eh.. Nope.. We never got near it."

Derin nodded.

It wouldn't be bad to grace Michelle's party. Besides after the stunt she'd pulled at something labeled, Derin felt the need to flaunt Nonso in her face. She made up her mind, she'd go with Nonso.

"It's cool. We'll go."

Nonso grinned.

Her phone vibrated on the center table just before Psquares bring it on blared from it. She rushed over and picked it up. The caller Id was unknown. She creased her brows and picked up the phone and kept quiet, waiting for the caller to speak up first.
