We Just Can't ✅ (NOT EDITED)

CHAPTER 18

This chapter is dedicated to Iyanuoluwa-Temi for the beautiful cover. I love it so much. Thank you!❤❤

I go back to where I was seated feeling happy and sad.

"This is your own five minutes sebi?" Alex asks me.

I just shrug and get out my phone. I put in my headphones and listen to Somebody to die for by Sam Smith.

I love his music and it puts me in a good mood whenever I listen to it.

Maybe I should just stay away from Aaron instead of giving myself unnecessary heartache every time I talk to him.

Maybe he's right, I should just stay in my lane and make this easier for us.

Whatever this is? I have no idea what he means by that.

"We're leaving" Alex says pulling me up.

I follow him without a word.

When we get to the car, I open the door and get into the front seat.

He joins me after saying goodbye to his friends. He starts the car and the engine roars to life then he speeds off.

***********************************

Aaron's P.O.V

I've been thinking about Naomi since last night and I can't seem to stop not even for a second.

I'm going through my phone when my door flies open to reveal my main man, Ayo.

"What's up?" he ask crashing on my bed.

 I put away my phone and turn to face him. "Nothing much"

"I'm leaving for Ibadan tomorrow" he says.

Lucky soul he's going to Ibadan to see his grandparents all through the midterm. The pampering he's going to receive.

"Buy something for me when you're coming back" I say.

"That's the only thing you know, you can't say have fun or safe journey" he says shaking his head at me.

"Oya sorry. Have fun oo, safe journey and buy something for me" I say with a chuckle.

"Better" He says picking up my phone.

This boy has a bad habit of going through my stuff, especially my phone always invading my privacy. Everything I own automatically becomes his own too and vice versa.

Not that I made that rule oo is him that made it but I don't mind. Ayo's like a blood brother to me I don't even know how my life would like without him.

"When was the last time, you talked to Naomi?" He asks dropping my phone beside him.

"It has been long" I say.

"Why? You guys were about to became a thing" he says.

"She has a boyfriend" I blurt out.

I watch shock register on his face.

"Did she tell you this?" he asks.

"Nope" I say.

"Then I don't believe it and plus you never even asked her if she had a boyfriend" he says.

"She could've mentioned it" I say.

"Yeah because that's so normal. She'll jus be like hey everyone, I have a boyfriend. Totally normal" he says with a voice full of sarcasm.

I match his tone to annoy him. "Totally normal" 

"Where did you even hear this crap?" Ayo asks.
