She abruptly sat up as she realised she had slept off and even wrapped her arms around Joel.

Shit Jumoke, What the hell?!

She asked herself as she reprimanded herself in her head. She wanted to jump off the couch, because if he saw her sitting this close to him, she would be so freaking embarrassed.

She pulled her arms away as she looked towards Joel's face if he wasn't gonna wake up due to her abrupt movements.

But he was fast asleep. And she was loving the freaking view.

And the sight of his plump lips, seemed to attract her eyes to them.

She couldn't help but imagine his lips on hers and the mere thought of that made her heart race.

She wondered what had gotten into her as she raised her hand to her chest, feeling her heart pound.

It was pounding hard and she couldn't control it.

She exhaled as she immediately stood up, moving away as she looked away from Joel and decided to tidy up a bit.

She found herself imagining him kissing her again as she shook the thought off her head.

"Shit, Jumoke. Get a hold of yourself" She muttered to herself as she cleaned up the table and walked into the kitchen to dispose all the takeaways and empty cans from yesterday.

But as she walked back towards the living room, the sound of the doorbell ring made her pause in her steps as she wondered who was here, this early in the morning.

She looked towards Joel and he hadn't woken up from the sound. She felt relieved as she hurriedly rushed to the door opening it up, before it rang again.

"Darn girllll!! Is this how much I mean to you?!" Demilade spoke loudly as she walked into the house, not even waiting for Jumoke to usher her in.

Jumoke wondered what her friend was doing here. She thought she had travelled to Abuja to attend her sister's daughter's naming ceremony.

Jumoke gently closed the door hurriedly and rushing back towards Demilade.

"Oh! My! Go..." Demilade yelled as Jumoke slapped her hands over her mouth pulling her into kitchen as shushing her up with each shuffling their feet made against the floor.

She let go of her friend as soon as they were out of the living room and Demilade immediately let out a squeal.

"Jummyyyyyyy!! What the hell?!"Demilade squealed as she clasped both her hands over her mouth, giggling like a little girl.

Jumoke rolled her eyes as she knew Demilade was going to be over dramatic about the whole situation.

And she knew her friend was probably assuming the something else.

"You never tell me anything, jeez."Demilade told her as she slapped Jumoke across the shoulder as Jumoke muttered an 'owwwwʼ, feigning an hurt expression.

"What the hell happened to 'I liked him, as in past tenseʼ" Demilade said again mimicking Jumoke's voice as Jumoke couldn't help but let out a laughter.

She knew she didn't talk like that but it sounded really funny.

"Ohhh, what's with this laugh?! Uhn?! Tell me what happened na, every freaking thing!!" Demilade ordered Jumoke as Jumoke shrugged in reply.

"He came to watch a movie. That is all" Jumoke told her plainly, resting her back against a wall.

"Are you sure?!" Demilade asked her as she did a playful wink while Jumoke rolled her eyes at her friend's action.
