Abba is such a romantic and I think I'm beginning to catch feelings for him which is bad as in very very bad because my grades has never been the same, when mama says you should stay away from boys trust me she is not talking too much, I should've listened to her.... Seriously!

"See I told you Abba is the perfect guy" Linda said winking making me blush real hard, thanks to my skin colour it doesn't show "For once you are right" I said and she held her chest feigning hurt "Girl don't act like you don't know you're stupid" I said and she gasped "No you didn't just say that" she mouthed and I nodded smiling

"No problem o. No problem at all, I know how to get at you" she said adjusting her collar making me laugh
"Maryam seriously you have to be careful, you know all these Lagos boys" Sarah warned for the nth time "Haba anty let them be na! Don't try to talk her out of it abeg" Linda pleaded "Me I'm just saying my own" Sarah said slightly dragging her ear just the way an average Nigerian mother would do while warning her children not to steal meat from the pot

Who is this Abbah sef? All I hear is Abbah this, Abbah that" Amanda who was supposed to be reading her biology notes was listening to our conversations all along "Lemme show his picture " I said sliding through my gallery, stopping at his picture, I showed it to her

"Oh my God!! He is soo cute!!" They exclaimed and Linda gave them the 'I told you so kind of look'

🍧🍧
Linda literally dragged me into an ice-cream shop, claiming I had to treat her for choosing 'Mr Right' for me. Haaa...someone shoot me!!
I am very conscious about the prices, I don't mind all this porchness I am so setting off this big girl aside and would walk out if it is too expensive.

Checking the prices, it was fair and I placed an order while waiting on my shawarma. Only God knows how many times Linda took pictures of her ice-cream, all these Instagram models😣

"Here take a picture of me" Linda handed her phone over, flashlight and the shot was taken. My attention was drawn towards her pose in the picture
"Really Linda? Middle fingers??" I asked totally not surprised
"For them haters" she shrugged
"God!!!" Linda screamed causing attention from people "What is it?" I asked concerned "Tonight is the match"
"What match again?" I asked confused "The one super eagles are playing against Argentina na" she replied "So? Didn't we win the last match?" I asked as she facepalmed herself "It was against Iceland, this one is different, it is for...." she kept explaining as I pretended to pay attention "Hmm okay" I said "Let's go" she said dragging me along "Wait, what about my shawarma?" I asked "We're packing it"

⚽️⚽️

Well let me just say we weren't destined to win the world cup. All I hear are hisses, rain of curses, hatred for messi and rojo, how the referee did ojoro..... Dear Nigerians, can we please get over it? Please?? God!! Linda's roommate named Faith was even crying. My phone light went on and I got a message from... you know who😋

Abbmine💖: Hey babe! How was your day?
Me: It was fine until the match😣
Abbmine💖: *sighs* I told you watching football isn't healthy🙁
Me: Henceforth, I quit
Abbmine: Now that sounds like my baby. Are you free? Wanna talk😊
Me: Sure hun

Girls like you by Maroon 5 and Cardi B sounded through my phone's speaker indicating that I was having a call... sliding the green light, I picked


"Hello sweetie" I greeted and immediately attracted my roommates attention "Hmm sweetie" Sarah said "Let me also go and call my own sweetie o" Linda joked "Masu sweetie" "Please greet him for me o" Amanda said "Chai! She's even blushing" Sarah said which I didn't notice I was doing
"What is the noise about?" Abbah asked

"Uhm nothing" I said completely embarrassed as I hurriedly walked outside before they embarrass me even more and he chuckled "What?" I asked
"Extend my regards to them" he said and I smiled "Yeah okay" "I'm actually in front of your hostel" he said "Really? Why? You're seeing somebody else?" I asked feeling a bit jealous "Come on babe! You know I'd never do that to you. I escorted a friend who came to see his girl" he explained

"Ohh" I replied "Now don't you wanna see me?" He asked "Uhm....... nop" I replied "Come on babe, don't be like that" he whined "I'd think about it then" "There's nothing to think about" "Okay fine, I'm coming but I'm not promising to be on time" I admitted "Take all your time" he said and I hanged up

"Ughh!" I sighed making my way to the locker "Abbah! Abbah!" They teased and I ignored smiling to myself, I throwed my full lengthy hijab over my head and sprayed little perfume "Where are you going?" Linda asked "To see Abbah" I replied "Ahhh!" They all screamed "What?" I asked a bit shocked holding my chest "Dressed like this?" Sarah asked "God! You girls are about to give me a heart attack with all this screaming" I said honestly

"This is Lagos, better get used to it" Amanda interrupted "There's no way we are letting you go meet him dressed like this" Linda said "What's wrong with my dressing?" I asked checking myself out "Class girl, have some class" Khadija said "Ahn ahn, this one that you're just attacking me anyhow kolework o (it won't work)!" Beginning to lose my cool

"Don't mind them jare! Na jealousy dey worry them" Linda joked "Shey it is skirt and blouse you wore, just wear a kimono over it" Sarah advised "Thanks jare oremi (my friend)" I changed to my mustard coloured kimono, rolling a veil that matches it and I sprayed the designer perfume Linda offered "Why all the spray? Please o, some of us are asthmatic" Khadija blurted "Allah ya baki hakuri (May Allah give you patience)" I said walking away

A/N: Ehn I know some people have over vex, abeg forgive me, I am even hiding my face before you people would coman beat me 🕵️‍♀️🙇‍♀️ and stop vexing because vexing is not good for the body😂😂
