It's being Six months after my arrival in the UK I have being friends with Susan and Bibah,

Surprisingly the two got more closer to each other than they are to me, because i am still not that open to them,

They do come to my apartment sometimes and while they do their stuffs, i just watch them or sleep, and when they want to go out to some places, i do decline and prefer to read my slides and so on, there was this time they forced me to, they didn't enjoy it at all, so they learnt never to pull me by force.

During this six months, i wasn't distant at all compare to when i was in UK, we do talk on phone, chats with Nana and co, except Naseem who wouldn't dare call me.

Today after my lectures for the day which ended by 12, Bibah and Susan decided to wait behind to complete their assignment, i submitted mine that morning, so i decided to go home.

On reaching my car and was about to open it, someone spoke to me "you left without a goodbye and you don't even call",

I turned to see Habibi in a casual red and black outfit that made him look hot.... Leaning on the hood of a black Dodge challenger..

"You" i exclaimed,

"Yes me" he mimiced my voice,

"What are you doing here" i asked pushing back the door i have already opened, and i was smiling, its nice to see someone familiar when you are away from home,

"Had a game with Abbah, deal was if i win, he will take over for six months, while i rest, if he wins, he gets to choose me a wife i should marry, so i won, he took over and i said to myself why not spend your break here in Washington D. C", i watch as he narrates everything, and when he finished, i nodded and said "good, enjoy your stay" i turned to my car, entered and closed the door, i ignited and turned to him, he was watching me with mouth agape,

I chuckled, "you look so innocent when you are flabbergasted, get into your car and follow, me, lunch" i said to him, getting the joke i played on him, he chuckled and entered his car.

We reached an eatery, sat down and the waiter a female came up to us, "good day Miss" she said to me as i check the menu card, "and to you too charming" she said seductivly, "i giggled, as i saw him rolled his eyes,

"So, i want to have couscous with summer vegetable and prawns, with a cup of strawberry and mint smoothie" i said keeping the menu card, she wrote it down with her eyes still on Habibi, whose eyes were on the menu card,

"I will have, linguine pasta with clams and a cup of any soda drink" he said,

"Owkey charming" she said and cat walked away,

I chuckled as i saw how taken aback he was, "that is so uncomfortable" he said,

"And hilarious" i added, he shrugged,

"So how have you being" he asked,

"Studying" i said,

"That's nice, i missed have you around, when we go to see Nana, so i stopped following him" he said, i shrugged, and asked him "why D. C"

"Alot of reasons, like to have fun with you, since you are on break" he said, and he is right we went on break that very day,

"I won't ask how you know because you are a creep" i said, just when our orders were bought forth, "enjoy your meal charming" she said, winked and walked away swaying her hips,

"So here i have a list of what we will be doing for the whole two months of your break, since you won't be going home" he said bringing out a paper,

"First things first, we will have lunch together outside everyday, and we cook dinner everyday together,........

"Wait hold on a second......, " no let me finish, we will go cycling, we will do alot of sporting activities, starting with water, we have water skiing, canoeing and water diving, then we have sky diving, rock climbing, we will watch alot of movies and lots of other things"

I was halve way through my food when he finished, "any question" he asked with a grin, "no" i said,

"So you are ok with it all" he asked his grin widening

"No"

"What, why, am hurt" he said feigning hurt and clutching his heart,

I rolled my eyes, "are you even human to be thinking about all that, i prefer to sleep, that's what the break is all about" i said,

"Please, i promise, you will like it, infact you are going, it's a must, yes a must, so i will come pick you tomorrow morning"

"You know where i live" i asked taken aback, "yes, remember am a creep" he said, "i can sue you for being a stalker, invading my privacy, you know that" i said, of coz i wouldn't, but i have to show him am serious, and guess what he just stuck his tongue at me and focused on his meal,

"Am not going and you are not forcing me, nobody will" i said.

The next morning, i awoke from to things that were driving me mad, the door bell and series of deafening knocks on the door,

I couldn't take it anymore so i pulled a robe, made my hair into a bun, wash my face, checked the time and saw it was pass 12 in the afternoon and decided to see the intruder at the door, i peeped through the hole and i saw Habibi,

I mentally screamed and open the door, "are you nuts" i asked,

"What happened, i was beginning to dial 911" he said as he came in with a basket full of what i think was food,

"What are you doing here, you werent kidding when you told me you know where i leave" i asked, as i closed the door, and watched him locating the kitchen and disappeared in it,

"Nope" he said out loud popping the P,

"Good, so why, me why are you stalking, is it how you do to every other girl, if they are owkey with it am not, we are not kids anymore, am not a kid"

He came out of the kitchen with two wooden rectangle tray, each with a cup of milk, chips and shredded chicken with egg sauce, and he placed each tray on the rug,

"No, i don't show up at any girl's front door, in fact av never done that" he said,

"Then why me" i asked, walking towards him and the food without waiting for invitation,

"The choosen one" he said dramatically,

I rolled my eyes and decided to eat, without minding the fact that i didn't brush my teeth.

After my breakfast, i lazily yawned and stretched in his presence, "so, when you are done, kindly close the door after you, a little thanks for breakfast" i winked and headed straight to my bedroom to continue sleeping.
