Tales Of Maryam | Completed✔

Chapter 19

The ride in the car was silent except for the music playing soothing from the radio. I hate Linda for making me sit in the front seat, I stare at the beautiful environment around me.... truly ajebo pikins dey enjoy

Someone pinched my arm and I yelp
"Ouch!" I glared at Johnson as he furrowed his eyebrows "It wasn't me" he shrugged, I glared at Linda and she had a goofy smile "My house is over there" she pointed, I sighed knowing sooner or later I would plot a plan on how to murder an annoying friend

One glance at her house and all the plans escaped my memory "Your house is very beautiful" I stare at the very large house and imagine how many people would fit here.... hundred? Okay maybe I am exaggerating but it is a big house "Thank God you're my best friend " was all I could say as she laughed

'In My Feelings' by Drake came on play and Linda sang along... God! Someone please make her stop, I feel my ears bleeding 😖 "Can you please keep it down?" I hushed her as Johnson began to sing

"Maryam..do you love me? Are you riding? Say you'd never ever leave from beside me?...." he sang, this boy gotta be kidding me... I huffed and looked away
as he chuckled "Why are you so mean?" he asked "Are you been serious right now?" I asked and he nodded.... skipped to the part I am now breathing uncontrollably after telling him everything from the beginning to the end

"Okay I know I was a jerk earlier and I truly apologise" he said as I nodded "It's all your fault you know?" he stated and I looked at him confused "How?" I asked raising a brow "Well I had always talked to you but you never reply or pay attention" he replied, I facepalm myself and sighed "My earphones are always plugged in... I am sorry then" Not sure on how to reply to that

"Sooo, we cool now?" he smiled stretching his hands, only God knows how many times I keep telling people I don't shake boys... *shaking my head*
I just kept looking between him and his hand "Ohh!" He immediately withdrew his hand and smiled awkwardly as I returned the awkward smile..... this Lagos traffic is something else

🏫🏫

"Thank you very much for the ride" Linda said with a huge smile "You're welcome" he said in a rich voice... *Maryam snap out of it* as Linda rushed into the hostel without waiting for me, see why I want to kill her?
"Thank you for everything" I said "My pleasure" he said again with that voice of his.... God! What is wrong with me!

I nodded and turned to my heels "Umm excuse me?" he asked "Yes?" "I don't know but please can I have your number?" he asked in a very polite way "What for?" I asked acting confused, he tried giving excuses and I internally laughed at how he struggled "Just kidding" I admitted as we exchanged contacts "Thank you" he smiled as I smiled back and made way to the hostel

My roommates were already digging their plates and arguing as usual.. nothing new. I changed into a pyjamas, wiping off my make-up
"Maryam, so you're back?" they asked and I wanted to reply sarcastically but I let it slide this time
"How would you know when all you girls know is food? I just pray that food won't kill you one day" I replied

"Ehn let it kill me biko what is your business?" Sarah said "God forbid" I said laughing leaving for Linda's room "Where's that girl?" I entered her room as her roommates only looked at me and continued their business, I felt like slapping myself with six hands at the same time for my foolish behaviour in front of the girls that can form for Africa. Some girls would be doing like they don't use to shit... mtshwwww (hisses)

"Bestyna!" Linda squealed, I started teaching her Hausa but you know it's not free😈 "You couldn't even wait for me" I whined "I was pressed and I had to rush before soiling myself" she explained "I hear" I said "What about that hottie?" she wiggled her eyebrows "Wó Linda please leave me alone" I said smiling 
"So you like him?" she said laughing "I don't like this nonsense" I frowned

"Johnson Johnson!" she teased "Stop now" I smiled uncontrollably "Do you know who he is? I talked to my boyfriend earlier and he said he is the rightful heir to Dangote" she stated "Swear?" all her roommates chipped in "Was I talking to you?" she asked as we both hissed, she dragged me outside to complete her gist "But babe how sure are you?" I asked "Ask anybody, in fact ask Turai" she replied

"I'm not interested sef" I stared at the sky "You better claim him before someone else does" she advised "Let them do if they want to" I stated as she looked at me in dismay shaking her head vigorously "He is yours whether you like it or not" she said like a typical Nigerian mother "Yes ma" I bowed "Ehen" she replied raising her shoulders and walking like big women do "Linda I swear you don't have sense" I left laughing

'I really don't know if I should give him a try... The heir to Dangote companies? Why is he called Johnson then?' I only sighed at my thoughts as my phone lighten up with a vibration.... speak of the devil

Johnson💀🤡: Hiii there! Just checking up on you, hope you good and all? Have a lovely night rest😙😙🌟

'Awww how cute!' I thought. Should I reply or not?

Johnson💀🤡: Ohh sorry, didn't mean the kissing face emoji, was going to use this🤗🤗

I smiled at his text

Johnson💀🤡: No I didn't mean the hug either, ughh! Blames on autocorrect, I meant this 😊😊

I laughed hard at his text, he is such a mess. Pretty sure he is anxious for a reply, I'd probably just reply tomorrow hopefully he isn't dead by dusk... just kidding😄 The way to my heart is through a cute text... I just can't resist

TEXTING RIGHT AWAY!!

Me: Mmm.... why do I have a feeling that you're texting with shaky and sweaty fingers? 😈

Johnson💀🤡: You wish🙄. I just exited the bathroom

Me: Ewww! That is nasty, you know I didn't have to know that right? 😒

Johnson💀🤡: It's bathroom oh... not toilet, Bush girl😅

Me:😑 I don't have my glasses on so I am hoping it isn't what I am seeing or someone would be dead☠

Johnson💀🤡: Babe I'm just kidding.... chill😧

Me: Who is your babe?

Johnson💀🤡:  Uhmm...... Typo😵

Me: Yeah

Johnson💀🤡: Dozing off, Good night, Sleep tight, Dream of me(Just kidding😖)

This guy don't have work I swear... Johnson! Johnson! With that his stupid curly hair that is almost longer than mine, let's not forget his stupid pearly white teeth and his annoying attitude, his dimples and his eyes.... *sighs* I had better not fall for him, he seems like a typical Playboy. Beautiful boys like him are mostly heartbreaker, I mean this is Lagos right?

Staring at his text message, I hope I don't dream of him for real.....

A/N: Okay if I talk too much you guys would kill me

I sincerely apologise for the very late update

I got us now In Shaa Allah💓
