NAIJA TEENS

Chapter three (Friends)

  "Don't worry, they'll not do anything to you" James reassured me. We were standing in front of mummy Buchi's shop and the pack of guys hadn't seen me yet.
"Me I have Sha said my own. If they touch me I'll report you to Daddy" I said
" Don't worry they won't. Am here now. They know me".
"Okay na"
I followed him to the benches seven guys were sitting on. They were all talking about how Barcelona and Liverpool played the last match. I counted four of mummy Buchi's sons and three other guys I did not know.
"Lanre, how you dey na?" James asked.
The guy saw him and smiled  "Ahh, Diego egbon mi* how far na?"
They shook hands "Things dey jae" James replied. " How parol? Cash dey flow in na. You don forget us"
"Guy no be like that.." And the so called Lanre stirred my brother to the back of the shop leaving me alone with six guys.
I shuffled my feet in the ground as I tried to avoid the stares they  were giving me. I knew they were considering the fact that if they talked with me, James would be pissed.
" Are you Diego's sister?" One of them asked. This one was dark and handsome and his hair was dreaded and dyed brown.
"Do you smoke?" I asked.
He looked confused as his friends burst into laughter. "What do you mean?"
"Do you smoke?" Idiot.
He hesitated before answering me."Yes, why are you asking me?"
Henry,The third son of mummy Buchi answered for me "she doesn't like smokers"He winked at me and earned a glare from me.
"How are you Pretty girl" Henry's younger brother, Kizito asked.
"Am fine" I replied bluntly. How many hours will James use to talk to Lanre ehh. Mtcheeeew.
" I don't see you around our area, why?" Henry asked.
"What am I looking for in your area?" I asked
The smoker's face contorted in anger as he stared at me " wetin dey do this girl sef?"
I faced him and smiled devilishly " I was actually not talking to you"
"You think because your brother is here I'll not beat you? He fired." I don't give a fuck about him I'll beat you and Las las me and your brother will fight but the deed has been done".
Henry,Kizito,Joel and Collins stared at him as he ranted about his fame and whatever.
"So you said you'll beat me?" I asked."You'll not try it again,I swear. What did I do that makes you sound like a stupid Coward.  Anyways,you're not worth the time. My brother does not even have your time because you're useless" I said. My heart hammered against my chest as I spoke because I knew he could molest me or even beat me up. And I didn't want James fighting over me.
  The guys were waiting for the next action when all of a sudden the guy stood up and advanced towards me. I moved back a bit and studied his physique, aiming for his schmuck.
The other guys' eyes widened. I took another step and hit a strong,hard body. Thinking it was James,I ran and hid behind him.
  I blinked,this body did not belong to James. It was a few inches taller than James, His clothes wasn't James',and he didn't smell like lemons. He smelt like musk. I jerked away and returned to holding his navy blue polo shirt for protection.
"Guy clear road mey I beat this flop"  The guy shouted .
Eh?.
I peeked from the side still holding on to my protector's shirt.
"If am a flop what are you. Worthless and wretched smoker!" I retorted.
The guy I was holding turned in Surprise and shook his head at me.
"Aren't you scared. He'll beat you oo"
"When my brother is here?. They did not born him well, they no born am." I replied not failing to take note of his handsome face and smooth,creamy baritone.
"Hmm.. you are mad!."
"Guy leave am. Na girl you dey follow fight oo. Dey wise"
"Wooos oga I no get time for dah one oo." He barked,came behind and dragged me forcefully. I screamed and stepped on his leg. He didn't even feel it.
"Leave me alone you idiot!" I yelled.
He laughed in defeat and brought me close to him,his breath fanning my face. "I don catch you now. Wetin you won con do?"
I looked over to the new guy and pleaded with him to help me. Kizito and his brothers were watching him.
"Ola leave am oo,me I no want Diego wahala" Henry warned.
The tall guy stepped forward and gave him a glare. " Leave. Her. Alone"
  He didn't,he pulled my skirt up and in a flash a punch came crashing on his face.
I looked up at my savior. He was visibly angry. The guys had already dragged ola away from me. I was dazed. How did he...
"Wetin dey happen?!" James shouted as he came running towards us. His eyes narrowed when he saw me looking not me.
"Guy how far?" He greeted the guy Holding me. They shook hands and he faced me.
"What Happened?"
I opened my mouth to speak but sobs came out instead.
"Where did you go to!?" I fired " You left me here with you stupid friends and you're asking me what Happened!"
"Godfrey what Happened?" He asked the guy holding me.
"Na Ola oo... "
The James didn't wait for Godfrey to finish,he strode to Ola and grabbed his neck.
"All the girls wey you dey fuck no reach you?! Why you touch my sister?!" He gripped him tightly and gave him a hard blow on his face.
  Joel tried to separate James from Ola but it was useless. He had a single bone. Once he held you,no one else could realease you until he decides to.
"Godfrey looked down at me and said "You see what your bad mouth has caused?"
I bit my lip and stared back at him. "You're blaming me for it?"
"You should have kept quiet. Now  your brother will kill him because no one can release him"
I shook off his hand and walked to the guys. Ola was finding it hard to breathe as he tried to pry off James' hands. The other guys were pleading with James who wasn't listening to them. His eyes were wide and murderous.
"James please stop. It was my fault." I cried. Godfrey came to stand beside me as he whispered something into James ear.
" If you do am you don lose am oo"
I think that did the magic because James slowly released his hold on him. I sighed in relief and unconsciously held Godfrey's arm.
"If I see you near my sister, I swear,you go hate yourself. No follow me talk again oo. Just dey go your own"
Ola gave me one last look before leaving.
Now it was my turn to be scolded. I braced for impact.
" Chika, you think he's an ordinary guy? That guy is a fucking cultist. You have put your brother into trouble." Henry began. "Just be praying he doesn't come back at you"
My heart sank as I stared at James who sat on the chair,head in his hands.
"But he started it by lifting my skirt up" I said defending myself.
Godfrey stared at me in confusion "what are we going to do with this girl?" When James lifted his head in alarm, he quickly added "And You're still defending yourself"
I glared at him " it's none of you business." Well it is because you helped me. Thank you.
" Take her away." James mumbled.
"Eh.." I started.
But he cut me off.
"Fuck off!"
I flinched. My eyes watered. "Diego, sorry. I didn't mean to do it, he got on my nerves"
"There's nothing to be sorry about. I know you started it. You have a bad mouth. I don't have strength to deal with you. Godfrey abeg follow am. I no trust Ola. E fit do anything"
I refused to go. Lanre signalled me to go.
I let Godfrey lead me away . I knew it was my fault because I didn't mean it. James had gotten into trouble because of me. And I'd make sure I get him out of it.
Daddy. Daddy must not know about this or am dead. Mummy will cry and Chris would hate me. I shook my head.
" Hey, stop thinking," Godfrey said "James has friends who will Stand by him so don't fret"
I looked at him and smiled. Handsome creature and brilliant mind.
He was tall and a bit fair. Not as fair as James tho. A good body shape, toned muscle and long straight legs. I wonder how his abs would be. Washboard abs?. He had full kissable lips and a beautiful nose. Not too large. Normal and a bit pointed.
He noticed I was staring and chuckled "like what you see?"
I huffed "No"
"Then stop staring at me" he said amusingly.
I blushed in embarrassment and scooted away from him. I inserted my  earphones and increased the volume to the loudest as South of the border by Ed Sheeran, Camilla cabello and Cardi B played.
  He got the hmm brown eyes, good looking face,long legs,no flaws at all
I saw you walking beside me and now I really wanna know your name.
He got the hmm nice smile beautiful lips and now it's driving me crazy.
  My earphones were plugged out of my ear and I jumped in shock.
He smiled " you're walking with a human being and not a robot. Am bored. He stared hard at me and smirked. "I didn't know James had a beautiful sister like this. He has sure hidden you well. But now I've seen you."

Phew!! This chapter is very interesting. I've read it countless times.
What would Ola do in revenge? And how would it affect the two sibs.
I love the newest character. Godfrey.
