Chukwuka POV

I got home, smiling damn that outing was good since neither of us want to admit that it was a date. I got home meeting my dad sitting on the sofa "Hey dad" I greeted him wandering what he was doing at home he said he wanted to go to the mall to get some provisions for the house. "Oh, hey son, how was your outing?" Oh, that is new my dad taking an interest in something about my life, shaking the thought off "It was good, you are home early anything?" I asked curious "No no I just wanted us to spend the rest of the day together and I got the provisions early, so what do you say?" Okay, is my dad dying? Because this man never wants to spend time with me since moms death. "Yes sure I will go and change" I ran upstairs to change from the clothes I am wearing into shorts and a white top. I walked into the kitchen where dad is currently washing meat to put on fire. I walked to the cupboard and brought down the pot and the seasonings. After he washed the meat, he passed it to me and I seasoned it and put it on fire. I sat on the island cutting the hot leave because we are cooking okra my favourite. "So, tell me about this girl you are seeing?" dad asked and I smiled thinking about Zainab "Well her name is Zainab she is in my class and I am not seeing her, yet" dad chuckled "So any plans to woo her?" okay you guys are wondering why dad is not shouting at me because of the relationship issue, but my dad is really cool, and he makes me make my mistakes myself I love the man for that, my only problem is that he was never around. "Yeah, that is the outing and I am thankful that she has really chilled parents so one problem down". He smiled and nodded "So how is school?" He tried changing the subject "Oh school is great, just one question dad why are you suddenly staying at home? Are you dying?" He burst out in laughter "of course not I am not dying I just wanted to spend time with you, your aunt called to tell me that I am failing in being a dad department" I nodded, my aunt is my best friend well one of my best friends and she tries to protect me even on little things. After cooking we sat down in the parlour to eat our lunch/dinner, and had the best conversation in a long while, after that I excused myself to go to bed. When I got to my room, I decided to call Zainab, I picked my phone and called Zainab and we spoke for the better part of the night. I went to bed with a smile on my face.

Monday came with a flash and I am surprisingly in school by 7:30 am waiting for Zainab to come to school, her school bus come a little later than mine, so I am waiting for her to come so we can walk to class together okay I am being a pussy. Tunde and Dumebi came to meet me "guy why are you early? scrap that, why are you standing here? Oooooo we are waiting for Zainab?" of Tunde with his big mouth said I just smiled, Zainabs bus came into sight and I smiled she walked towards me with Amanda. "Hey" She said "Hey to you too" I answered back and we walked to class talking about random things like literally. The day went in a blur but I can conveniently say this is the most fun I have had in a while
