*EDITED*

How could he think about trying to kiss me? And how could I have let him? I should've at least done something to stop him.

Chioma thought as she hurriedly walked into her car and slammed the door shut.

"Seb, take me home, immediately" she ordered and Seb nodded his head in understanding.

"Yes, ma'am" he replied and started the car, the car purred to life and soon they were on their way home.

As much as she tried getting her mind off the events that took place while she was in the elevator with Femi, she couldn't. She didn't want to admit the fact that she was actually grateful for his help else she would have passed out —something that normally happens whenever she's stuck in a tiny room, such as an elevator.

After a long tiring drive - nearly hours, they arrived at their destination.

"Ma'am, we've arrived" Seb informed, snapping her out of her thoughts.

"Oh," was all she said before Seb got down to open the car door for her. She got down from the car, still lost in her thoughts, and then she walked into the mansion before her.

"Chioma, where were you?" Amara asked. She still had her uniform on and she was busy watching a movie. She tore her eyes away from the TV just to spare Chioma a glance.

"None of your business" Chioma answered and hurriedly walked up the stairs.

"I was just asking, no need to be rude" Amara said, returning her attention back to the movie.

Chioma stopped in her tracks and looked back at Amara. Then she realized that she wasn't dressed in her home clothes but rather in her school uniform.

"Aren't you supposed to take a shower and change your clothes, before watching TV?" Chioma asked - laying more emphasis on the word 'before' - and Amara shrugged, still watching the movie.

"I'll do that later. This movie is quite interesting" Amara answered, popping some popcorn into her mouth.

"Go up stairs now. Bath, change and then you can come back and watch TV" Chioma said.

"Ohhh!" Amara groaned. "You would have kuku just stayed back at wherever you are coming from. You're such a killjoy!" Amara grumbled.

"I know, right?" Chioma replied with sarcasm laced in her voice. "Get up, now" she ordered and Amara begrudgingly got up from the couch and turned off the TV.

"Fun killer" she muttered as she walked upstairs.

"I heard that!" Chioma hollered as she also proceeded to her room.

"You were meant to hear!" Amara hollered back.

"He did what?!" Amanda half-yelled. She had just arrived at Chioma's place just a few minutes ago and Chioma just finished telling her about what had happened in the elevator.

"He didn't actually do it. He almost did it" Chioma explained, stressing the 'almost'.

"Well, why would he even think of kissing you? I mean, you guys just met and you barely know each other. Is he sick or something?" Amanda asked, sitting beside Chioma on her king size bed.
