CHAPTER FIVE 💗
She rushed out of the bathroom when she heard her phone ring for the eleventh time, "Hello daddy", after speaking at length with her father she dropped the phone. It seemed like she was going to add more effort to her studies.
Her father normally calls her just to remind her of her target. She wanted to become a well renowned medical doctor and no one was going to stop her from doing so not even devil himself. Ella got home famished. She just got her way to the bed while Nelly served her.
"So babe any gist" Nelly said.
Ella replied, "I was expecting your own gist oo because almost all the girls on campus were talking about you and Peterson"
"Excuse me, Who is that?" Nelly said "Peterson of course the famous guy in athletic field in school" Ella replied looking at her with assurance.
Nelly tried to remember but couldn't "Sorry Ella I don't know him".
"That's okay, you'll get to know him soonest"
"Ok oo" Nelly said.
Just then her phone rang she brought it up to check the caller, Ella an unknown number is calling me oo" Nelly said "just dropped the call" Ella replied the number kept calling until Nelly could not take it anymore, she picked the call.
"Hello its Ray" caller said "Ray?? Nelly queried "How did you get my number??" She asked again with a serious tone "Let's just say, I have my ways" He replied.
"You have your ways?" Nelly asked "Oh yes" she replied "Alright then am blocking your number, thanks for calling, Bye", She ended the call, as she turned to satisfy Ella's curious face. "Okay, he's Ray the guy that insulted me the other day, when we went out for a jog". "Omg Peterson!" Ella exclaimed, "not Peterson dummy, it's ray am talking about"
Nelly retorted, "his name is Ray Peterson dummy"
Ella fired back. "wow, so he's your darling Peterson, well I don't care, all I want now is to block his f*cking number".
"Nelly did you just use the *f* word" Ella inquired, "I'm sorry, it's just that the guy pisses me off, honestly, I don't know why he is still calling me", Nelly said out of frustration, "then pick up the call" Ella advised, "no, I won't, I can't, I mean why should I?" Nelly queried, Ella convinced her into hearing him out, which she gave in to; after speaking with him over the phone, and Ella looked at her with anticipation. "He wants me to meet him tomorrow at the school's basket ball court" Nelly finally said, "that's great news, then prepare for your outing tomorrow" Ella said, "it's not an outing, he said it's just a twenty minutes talk and besides I'm not going, I don't have any time to spare, I've got a lot of school works"
... Nelly said. "babe come on, you won't stay long, at least try and hear what he has to say" Ella said" which Nelly later agreed to. "That's great darling, come and sleep cos you got a long day tomorrow" Ella said as she pushed Nelly towards the bed, they ended up laughing as they both bounced on the bed.
