My Student And I ✓

🌹7🌹

The ride back to her apartment, Monica's might was busy beating erratically in her heart. She kept on thinking about what transpired between her and Daniel. She wondered if the call didn't came through what would have happened. She dreaded what she's going to tell Lola.

On entering the apartment,she didn't see Lola in the sitting room and went straight to her room to meet her munching on the biscuit she bought on her way to her place.

"Where have you been?"Lola asked giving her attention to Monica who shrugged sitting on the bed beside Lola

"I went out for fresh air"she lied. She gulped hoping it wasn't obvious to Lola she lied,she felt horrible for lying and Lola bought it. "This one you're smiling like this what's up?"Monica asked trying to change the topic. Lola giggled taking the bait

"You know the guy I told you I had as one night stand with?"Lola asked and Monica nodded yes "I saw him today. His name is Joel and he was so angry at me for the way I left,girl! When I woke up in the morning and saw myself wrapped up in the arms of a stranger my head went off immediately and I got to grab my stuff and leave"Lola said picking a broken biscuit

"Where did you see him?"Monica asked

"I saw him when I was coming out of the law firm"Lola replied

"So?"Monica asked

"I apologized for the way I left,I was surprised he still recognise me cause I don't recognize him anymore. He asked for my contact and asked me out on a date"Lola said squealing and Monica chuckled

"Seems like my cousin sister is in love"Monica said and Lola hit her playfully

"Seriously I can't believe it. Someone asking me out after what happened between me and Fred,I always have this feeling no one will like me again"Lola said and Monica rolled her eyes

"Don't ever said that again Lola. You're beautiful and only a wise man will be able to see it. I'm happy for you though,my bestie is going out on a date"Monica said and Lola giggles squealing while Monica chuckled

"Before I forget. Sarah called me"Lola said and Monica frowned immediately

"Why did you called you?"Monica asked. Sarah is her younger sister they never really got along

"Strike! She said her school is on strike and my place is the closest for her"Lola replied shrugging. Sarah is currently in four hundred level studying chemical engineering at Federal university of technology Minna

"Thank God she called you not me"Monica said and Lola rolled her eyes

"I think it's high time, you and Sarah start getting along,you're twenty six and not more a kid. You should keep whatever happened between the two of you behind and work towards yourselves"Lola said and Monica's frown got deeper

"Don't talk as if you don't know the kind of person she is. She's twenty one and not a kid,she should learn how to show respect to her elder ones"Monica said rubbing her eyes all over her face "you of all people know how Sarah is and everything she had done to me"

"I'm sorry Monica"Lola said raising her hand up "I just want you guys to be like Christian and Raphael. They rarely fight"Lola says. Raphael and Christian are Monica's siblings. Christian is eleven months older than Monica though the family members calls them twins. He works at the NMPC at port Harcourt while Raphael is twenty three years old,he is self employed. He owns a very big boutique shop at Anambra state where he lives.

"Raphael respects Christian. He never talk back at him"Monica said and Lola raise her hands up showing a sign of giving up.
