"Wow!" I gasped.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing, yet I could see it. Duh! I wasn't blind.

I pressed the switch button of my phone off, turn it on again, did my password and re-read the message. It was the same.

I blinked my eyes just so I could see if my eyes were deceiving me. Still it was the same. Benjamin had sent just one hundred naira credit to me. So unbelievable! Was this some sort of joke to him or what? I already told him I didn't want hundred naira and yet, he did otherwise. I have to call him and give him a piece of my mind.

I stamped my legs loudly on the floor as I made my way into the house. I started mumbling as I got into the house, not observing my environment.

"What's doing this one?" I looked at the direction the voice came from. It was Rachel. She was in the living room with her boyfriend, Desmond. They were sitted in a somewhat non platonic position.

"Oh. Good afternoon." I smiled. "Hey Desmond." My voice came out slightly high than usual but pleasant to the hearing.

"Hello Ruby." He waved a little at me, showing off his complete white teeth at me. He honestly had a very nice smile. His smile alone could make both sex drool over him. Yeah, it was that nice. Who knew, maybe that was what captured Rachel to him.

"Why are you guys in such position?" I let out a wry smirk with a brow tilted upwards. "What if it was dad or mum that walked in and caught you guys in this position?" The way I said it made it sound like I was jealous but trust me, I wasn't a bit.

"First, we knew it was you that walked in. Besides, mum and dad can't come home by this time. Also, we are grown ups. We can do as we please." She answered confidently.

"Nice one." I clapped at her confidence. "Just to remind you in case you've forgotten, we are Nigerians and not Americans. So let that stick upstairs." I gestured with my hand, touching my head.

Desmond laughed heartily after my statement. "Tell her, Ruby." His voice was deep and velvety.

Rachel then turned to him and glared. Her actions made him seize laughing. "Sorry." He mouthed. After which, he smiled. So cute!

I chuckled at both of them. They were so compatible. It would even be better if they got married in the future. What ya thought? "I'd be in my room." I said before scurrying off.

Immediately I got to the room, I literally threw my bag pack on my bed and began to dial Benjamin's contact. How could he have sent such an amount to me? I would teach him a lesson.

It didn't even take up to five seconds before he picked up. Seemed like he was waiting for my call. "Hello babe." He teased in a sexy way.

I cleared my throat thinking of a pick up line. I didn't want to come across as ungrateful, so I rather said. "Thanks a lot for the credit." I feigned a smile just to get a proper tone of voice. I needed to sound genuine 'thanking him.'

"Credit? Lol, I haven't sent any credit yet." He sounded like he was smiling.

"But– the credit– wait, it wasn't you?" I was totally confused. But it was Benjamin's name that appeared as the sender. Or was I now seeing things? Not possible! I am sure it was Benjamin 'cause of the content of the message.
