Finding Her Inner Self

Chapter Twenty✨

||Chapter Twenty||

Ire
I came out of the bathroom my head filled with thoughts about Mobola. After that night we spent together I've been waiting for the right moment to ask her to be my girlfriend.

I could see that she already had enough care for me in her eyes and that she liked me too, but I didn't want to scare her away by asking her out and I wasn't even sure myself if I was ready for another relationship. I didn't expect to see her sitting on my bed holding one of my favorite picture frames.

"Muffin?" I called surprised to see her in my room.

I noticed her mouth slightly went ajar as she checked me out before she immediately closed her eyes.

I smiled amusingly at her behavior.

She's just so cute.

"Uhm, I'm so sorry for butting in like this. I just wanted to let you know I had arrived" She said her eyes still closed.

I smiled teasingly as I took in her appearance. She looked so pretty wearing a lovely blue jean jumper, her brown hair packed in a high ponytail.

"Oh okay. Let me just get dressed" I said coming out of my thoughts.

She opened her eyes averting her face from mine before she hurriedly went out.

I couldn't help but chuckle a bit as I shook my head at her innocence. I decided to put on something comfortable, so I slipped on my grey joggers with a grey hoodie not forgetting to put on my Crocs.

I walked out of my room down the stairs towards the kitchen. I noticed Kolade sitting on one of the living room couches and a frown immediately settled on my face as I thought about what he did at the yoghurt shop.

I shouldn't have let him come.
He acts like muffin's his property.

Our eyes met and he gave me a small smile winking in the process. I glared at him walking into the kitchen not failing to hear his booming laughter.

Jerk!
Sometimes I just want to punch him in the face ,but muffin likes him too much and I don't want to ruin my chances with her.

I walked into the kitchen to see Eric laughing with her as they talked about some random shit. He seemed to be helping her out with the groceries.

"Hey bro" he greeted with a smile

"Hey, what's going on?" I asked feeling a bit confused as I took an apple out of the fridge taking a bite out of it.

"Mobola was just telling me a funny story about her ex boyfriend" Eric explained with a small laugh.

"Oh I see"

"Ire, I already picked out the dishes that I was going to teach you" Mobola said immediately changing the topic.

"I'll be in the living room if you need me" Eric said one last time giving me a wink before he finally left the kitchen.

"Your ex boyfriend uhn?" I teased with a smirk as I leaned on one of the kitchen shelves. I noticed her expression become uncomfortable and I decided not to talk more about the issue.
