He had seen whenever Ella made frequent calls whenever a particular caller called whenever Ella was at his place. Suddenly she woke him up in the dead of the night and told him that she wanted to break off with him. He knew it at once. When the day came, in anger, he strode off to Johnson's house.
Fortunately for him, Johnson's parents weren't in and therefore the door was open for him to go in. Daisy was the first person he saw. She was in shorts and a orange camisole, drinking water from a tumbler.
She froze for a second, surprised at how someone had just bursted into the house, "who do you .....," Daisy stopped herself, turned around and raced up to her room.
Matthew hadn't recognized her that it had looked all silly and weird to him.
"Why did she run?" Matthew had asked Johnson when Johnson came into view.
"Who?" Johnson looked around.
"I don't know her. I think she was the maid and she kinda of know me," Matthew said.
"What are you here for? You came for something?" Johnson knew at once and changed the subject of discussion.
The next thing that blew up were the dirty lines of accusations and then insults, finally Matthew had to strode out of the house by the security men angrily.
Now, he knew her first and the first impression she had made on him had been sealed in his heart. He couldn't forget such a delicate, and pretty face.
"Let me go!" Lola pushed at his chest but he held on tighter that he could feel her soft moulds against his hard body.
"Don't you know me?" He asked her still.
"You are mistaken. Let me go!" She said again, swearing a curse word as his hand came slowly down on her buttocks.
"It is best to preserve our relationship, don't you think so?" he used her exact words back on her as his head ducked lower that he could smell her hair.
"What are you doing, Matthew?" Elizabeth was clearly appalled, she tried to push her brother off but he wasn't yielding.
Lola smelled like flowers and Lilly soap, she was so sweet and soft.... His lips came lower to seek hers as his hands went lower.
God! She hated this! She felt like a white, she clearly wasn't different from the girls that makeout on the party ground. In anger, she hit her head on his. When his hands came up to touch his head, she pushed him off to the ground and raced off.
Quickly she boarded a tricycle while Mathew was being yelled at by his sister. Admist Elizabeth's shouts, Matthew was smiling to himself, knowing fully well that he would see Lola again.
*******
Lola shut her eyes briefly as she heaved deeply, her nerves were beginning to settle. At least, that was helping her subside her anger. Yet, those sensations she had felt when Matthew had touched her were creating such an havoc in the depths of her mind. She just couldn't erase them.
Although, she knew intently that she had wanted it to continued, she also knew that she would have love to see the very end of it. But, it was simply wrong, stupid and out of place! She cursed herself again as she opened her eyes. If she made herself look way too cheap, then she would be cheap in his eyes. She wanted Matthew to beg her for her attention, and that was what she would do.
She laughed to herself as her mind continued to play the scene. Her body still shook at the remembrance of his touch. She shut her eyes for a split second, how would his kiss had felt on her lips? He was wickedly handsome that she couldn't get his face off her mind. She was darn sure that his mouth on hers would be heaven on earth.... She opened her eyes instantly.
What was wrong with her! One minute she wanted him, the next minute she detest it with the whole of her being.
If only he had been formal and nice to her, maybe there would have been a chance with them both. She alighted from the vehicle when it came to a sudden halt, gave the driver her fare and started walking towards the hostel.
That night while she was sleeping, she was unaware of how she had wished that he was there with her. His image plagued her memory that she awoke, sat up to read, washing his image away with books.

Elizabeth returned late the next morning, she rushed off to the bathroom, struggling to meet up with the next class. She was late for a lecture. But as soon as she was out of the bathroom, she told herself that she would only shut her eyes for a while, when she wakes up, she will rush off for the rest of her lecture. But as tired as she was, she sleep quite soundly and missed her lecture.
"You are back already?" Elizabeth yawned with outstretched hands over her head, pulling the bed sheets up her naked breasts.
Lola looked back at her, surprised to find her entangled in her bed sheets, "You missed the class."
"I overstayed at the party," Elizabeth replied her.
"But you know you had a class," Lola said, placing her stacked of books on her desk which was close to her bed.
"It was my party, Lola. I couldn't have left," Elizabeth said.
"Are you aware that your studies would surely be affected?" Lola turned back to her.
Elizabeth shrugged, eyeing her roommate, "Yeah, I'm aware but I can do something about it. I can get a mentor to tutor me."
"I'm going to give you a piece of advice. Don't party out that long, cause the next time it's not going to be a lecture that you will miss. You might miss a test. And there would be no going back," Lola warned.
