(MTB) Meant To Be (A Nigerian Story)

16

Seun tried calling Ayo a few times after the whole thing but she didn't pick his calls. She blocked his number and deleted everything that was his on her phone. He gave up after two weeks of trying.

Ayo was making progress with her work. Her listeners were her fans. She handled the show given to her beautifully and soon, she was quite popular.

Four months after the whole break-up episode, Ayo was doing backstroke in the pool by the side of the house when her phone rang, she picked it up to see it was Wale. She met Wale in UNILAG. He was already a recognized OAP before they graduated and also from a rich family. They had clicked and she knew right from time that he liked her even though she was not so into him like that but she felt comfortable with him and they had kept in touch after graduation tending towards friendship.
She picked the call,

"Oga mi sir.*"

"You don start Abi?*"

"Wassup with you?"

"I just dey o. I say mey I call my aunty wey no like to dey call person."

"Your head no correct. Who be your query? I am a small girl."

"I hear you. How is that my small bobo?"

"He is fine, he went to school."

"And Oga nko?"

"How many times do you want me to tell you to stop calling him that?"

"How many times do you want me to tell you that he is in love with you just as you are?"

"And I told you, you don't have proof."

"Just listening to you say Kore did this, Kore that, Kore is this, Kore is that is enough proof."

"E don do."

"You see I struck a nerve."

"Aren't you supposed to be busy or something?"

"I just wanted to say hi my lovely friend. Give my love to Itunu. Will call you later to disturb you."

"I won't pick your call."

"You wouldn't dare." He said and hung up. She stepped out of the water, and was pressing her phone and walking towards her apartment when she almost slipped but Kore caught her.

She looked up at him, smiled and said,

"I didn't even know you were close-by. I..."

Kore kissed her. She went stiff in his arms with shock. His tongue ran through her lips and prodded her mouth open and she began to relax. She didn't even know how it was easy to do that because she was somewhat repulsed when guys touch her. Her senses were overcome with pleasure and she held on to him as if her life depended on it.

Kore finally released her so they could catch their breath. She stood there, surprised and confused while he looked at her with a gaze so intense and full of message and yet she could not decipher what he meant by the words he spoke through his eyes. The wind blew and she decided to go inside, taking the memory of how his lips collided with hers and the feeling that accompanied it with her.

Kore didn't move for a long time.

Hello Boos and Baes,

Short chapter, right? Sorry, this exam is really making me so sick and tired and crazy. I can't wait to be done. I miss writing about Ayo and Kore. I hope by now, you've got some ship names for them. Let me in on them through the comments and I will tell you what I think.

I will finish my exams on the 27th of March. I will try to update another chapter a day after. Please, just stay with me till then.

I also want to say a big thank you to you all. For adding to your list. For the comments. For the votes. Y'all are amazing and I love you so much. Your engagement with my stories make me happy.

Sorry. 🙈🙈🙊🙊
Too much talk.
