How Love Works

One Step Forward, Two Steps Back.

One Step Forward, Two Steps Back.

'Are you alright?' Angel asked Ehi as Iyoma walked out of the living room to go prepare for her date with Bisi.

Ehi nodded but her insides were screaming, shouting and coming up with creative curses for Bisi.

He'd promised.....

Bisi was one of the many reasons Ehi couldn't trust men, he'd promised and now he was going to tell Iyoma the truth.

Are you sure? Angel wanted to ask but it was obvious that she wouldn't want to talk about what had been bothering her since Iyoma announced Bisi's message.

'Since Iyoma is going out, how about we go out? It's not late, I can make reservations at.....' Angel was saying when Iyoma squealed cutting him short.

'I thought you two said you weren't having sex?' Iyoma asked as she walked back into the living room holding up the empty packet of the morning after pill.

Ehi stared at the packet in Iyoma's hand, clueless for a few seconds before it dawned on her that she had chucked that empty packet of the post pill into her bag instead of throwing it away.

'Why did you go to my room?' Ehi asked upset. At this point, she could only get defensive because anything other than that would arouse suspicion.

'Ohhhh, so that's the way it is huh? I tell you everything and you keep secrets. When did this happen?' Iyoma asked dangling the packet of the post pill in the air.

She was excited that her friend was finally getting some action but why was Ehi hiding it anyway?

Ehi could feel Angel's eyes on her as she stood up and snatched the empty packet from Iyoma's hand. 'Since when did you start going through my things?' Ehi asked a little irritated despite the fact that her heart was racing to the ceiling.

Iyoma frowned 'I only wanted to take something from your makeup purse. Why are you getting defensive?' she asked.

Ehi hissed and pushed past her, leaving just her and Angel in the living room.

'Did I do anything wrong or did you do something?' Iyoma asked Angel, she was equally upset.

Angel shrugged and picked up his book, it was time for him to leave.

'Why was she angry then, is it just because I found out you two have been bumping uglies?' Iyoma hissed loudly.

Angel sighed in response 'Have a lovely date' he said as walked towards the door.

'Nawa o, person no fit follow una play again sef. This kain couple sha'  Iyoma hissed again and went back to her room.

Iyoma wrapped up her make up and dress up in fifty minutes, she texted Bisi that she was on her way to the Kohinoor but there was no reply from him though her message was delivered. That didn't deter her, she was going to see Bisi and if he didn't show up at Kohinoor, she would go to his house.

She went over to Ehi's door and knocked since Ehi had locked the door but there was no response. She knocked thrice but Ehi still didn't respond. 'Torh Madam, me I don't know why you're angry oh. There's nothing wrong in having sex with someone you like. Anyway I'm leaving and I don't know when I'll be getting back. O dabọ' she said from the other side because the door wasn't soundproof and Ehi would get the message.

After Iyoma left the house, she headed to Angel's apartment. Luckily for her, he was by the door when she got to his apartment. 'What's up, are you going somewhere?' Iyoma asked with a small smile on her face.
