Chapter 19

Femi's POV.

A smirk was glued to my face as I wrapped my arm around Chioma's neck. I knew she'd kill me after this but I didn't care at the moment, I'm enjoying every bit of this for reasons unknown to me.

"Hi, I'm Chioma" Chioma said to Jade, extending a hand for a shake. I stole a glance at her and I could see her trying to not push my hand away but failing miserably as she finally pushes my arm away and glares at me for a while. Jade shook hands with Chioma and I could've sworn that I saw her glance at me with a sad smile on her face and I immediately regretted dragging myself and Chioma to meet them.

What was I even thinking?

"Well, we'll be on our way now. It was nice meeting you two. I hope you guys work out" Ebuka said as he sent us a smile and held Jade's hands and exited the restaurant. The sight of him holding Jade's hand so possessively made me angry and I unknowingly clenched my fists.

I don't know why I can't forget that girl already.

"Huh!" Chioma huffed and headed for the exit, but not before giving me a death glare.

I sighed as I followed her outside the restaurant and I knew she'd yell at me and to be honest, I seriously don't have her time.

Surprisingly, she didn't say anything till we got into the car. She kept pouting and frowning and I knew she was just as upset as I was.

"I can't believe he chose that thing over me!" She huffed again and I gave her a look.

"Hey! that thing used to be my girlfriend, okay? So please mind the way you talk about her" I said as we drove out of the restaurant.

"Used to be" she murmured but I heard her loud and clear. "I'm not even surprised that you dated her. After all, you do have bad taste" she said whilst folding her arms and staring out the window as we drove by. I was awed at her comment but still, it's Chioma I'm dealing with here. Of course she wouldn't miss an opportunity to be rude.

"You always amaze me with the kinda stuff you say" I said and she scoffed.

"Who cares? I just want to make it clear that what happened in there should never repeat itself. I can never date you, I hope you know that" she said and I gave her a scoff of my own.

"Like I'd even be interested in dating someone like you"  I said, stressing the word 'you'

She shot me a glare and I smirked knowing that I'd gotten to her.

"Well, that's because you don't know beauty when you see it, even if it slapped you in the face, you still wouldn't know what it is. Idiotic dirt bag!" She said and I heaved an exasperated sigh.

"Chioma, life isn't all about beauty. Yes, I'll admit that you're pretty. But your arrogance and nasty behaviors overshadows your beauty, such that no one cares if your pretty or not because you keep  acting all stuck-up and rude all the time. The beauty will fade away but we all know that your rudeness won't" I said and I could see her grit her teeth at the corner of my eye.

"Femi, I wonder how you feel and act like you're so perfect when you are in fact awful. You call me stuck-up but you are also full of yourself and extremely proud. You feel you have no flaws and you're talented in pointing out other people's flaws. I may be rude, stuck-up, arrogant, and bratty but I know that I don't have to change all because of you. I don't have to change myself because you have a problem with my behavior. Fix your stupid arrogant pride and maybe I'll fix mine" she said. She was about getting down from the car _ cause we just arrived at her house _ when I decided to reply her.
