Chapter 31

Chioma's POV.

"

Agozie? Like, my cousin?" Amanda asked, disbelief clearly etched in every word.

"You heard me, didn't you?" I replied, suddenly avoiding her questioning gaze.

"But why Agozie? He just waltz into the perfect picture and now you're going for him? Look, girl, he might be my cousin but you're also my best friend. And that's why I'd advice you to quit the feelings for Agozie" she replied, a very serious look on her face.

"Why?" I asked, knitting my brows in confusion and annoyed that she didn't like the idea of me liking her cousin.

"Cause," she turned me around to look at them once more. Agozie was also laughing now and he looked extra handsome, his loud baritone filled the air and resounded in my ears in a very firm and deep melodious kind of way. "Agozie might not like you back. Plus, haven't you noticed the fact that he's a playboy? Isn't it obvious?" She asked, a look of concern glued to her face as her voice softened.

"Agozie is an idiot, and he's not the guy you're looking for. Forget his smile and his playful aura, he's a moron hidden behind that handsome looks. He's actually nice and all but nope! I strongly don't think  that's the guy you'd be into, so avert your eyes and take 'em right...here" he said, turning me towards Femi's direction as he feasted on his ice cream, a bit of vanilla flavored ice cream smeared on his lower lip.

How can a grown man like him eat his food like that?

"No, stop trying to choose for me. I do not like Femi and that will never happen!" I strongly refused and Amanda folded her arms in front of her chests and smiled.

"Honey, when that finally happens, I promise that I'll kill you. I swear" she smiled and sashayed away, wiggling her unfortunate butt in front of me.

"Idiot" I muttered but she somehow heard me and smiled.

"Just like you!" She hollered while I followed behind her.

I don't care what she says, I'm never going for Femi. I know she's just saying that cause he's her boss and all but whatever. I really like Agozie, something that I thought wouldn't happen in a long time.

"You guys wasted a lot of time oh. What exactly were you guys doing in there?" Agozie asked as Amanda sat next to him and I unfortunately had to sit next to Femi. Still no sign of Kunmi but who cares? I know I don't.

"That reminds me, where the hell is Kunmi?" Femi asked Damola and he shrugged in response.

"She told me she was going to the restroom. I offered to escort her there, just to be sure she doesn't get lost or something..." He smirked and I cringed. "But then she rejected my thoughtful offer and went alone. I'll go look for her" he added as he got up to leave while dusting off the crumbs of his meat pie off his lips and shirt.

"Yeah, thanks bro" Femi said and put a spoonful of ice cream into his mouth while Damola left in search of Kunmi.

Femi still had his shirt open and his shirt was also untucked and he wasn't even wearing his shoes anymore but rather a black Versace Pam slippers. His perfume swept through the air and invaded my nostrils causing me to slightly gag. Although he had a nice scent, his perfume was also way too harsh for my liking.

"You okay?" He asked, looking down at me with his eyes holding up concern.

"Um, yeah. I'm fine" I replied.

"Okay, so what would you like to order?" He asked and I shrugged.

"I'll just have ice cream, strawberry flavored ice cream" I replied and he nodded and got up to go get it.
