Chapter 15

Chioma's POV.

I turned around to see mom glaring at me. Well, I'd be lying if I'd say I was surprised. She was obviously eaves dropping on mine and Femi's conversation.

"Why on Earth would you refused him like that?!" She yelled and I rolled my eyes at her. This day was only making my headache worse.

"And how did you know that I did?" I decided to ask and mom rolled her eyes at me.

"I overheard you two talking" she lied and I groaned cause I knew she was.

"Whatever, mom. I have the right to go out with whomever I want. And besides, I had a bad breakup with Ebuka. Going out with Femi will not be the best option for me" I replied and she sighed.

" So you wish to remain single for the rest of your life? Why can't you forget that boy already and move on?" Mom said and I frowned.

" Mom, please. I don't want to discuss this. I'm tired and I need to rest" I said and she eyed me.

"Chioma, you are going out with him oh and that's final" she said and I froze.

"You can't make me do that. I'm an adult and you can't choose for me. I will not go out with him, mom. You can yell at me all you want but I won't do it" I said and mom glared at me.

Now I'm having an argument with my mom all because of that good-for-nothing doff.

"Chioma, you will go out with him. And I'll make sure you do, wait till your father hears this" mom said, walking towards the room she shared with my father.

"Fine! But you can't force me! I won't do it, okay?!" I yelled back but mom was long gone.

I was furious. I just didn't want to be here any longer. I decided to head over to Amanda's place where I can at least have some peace.

"Chioma!" I could hear my father call. I let out a frustrated sigh and turned around to meet his burning gaze. I knew mom must've added some more fuel to the fire just so that he'd get really pissed at me and then force me into going out with Femi. This was literally a dead end.

"Come here" he said and I grudgingly complied. "I heard what happened, is it true?" Dad asked.

"Well, it depends on what you heard. I simply refused to go out with him" I replied, nonchalantly.

"I was told that you were rude to him" dad said and I rolled my eyes for the umpteenth time today.

"I wasn't" I said and mom came out if the room, her glare still on her face.

"You were rude to him. You even told him to leave the house" she said and I knew dad will most definitely be upset about that.

Woman! Are you the one that was asked out?! Let me be!

"Is this true?" Dad asked and I looked anywhere but his face. "Answer me" his voice came out gently but still had authority.

"Well, yes" I said.

"You will have to apologise for that and you will be going out with him tonight, am I clear?" He said and I looked him in the eye to let him know that I hated this.
