"Hey let's stop by your house." Blaire said suddenly , interrupting their earlier flow of conversation. She had wanted to go shopping and Obi had offered to accompany her and out of the blue she had suddenly popped the question.
"I don't really think that would be a good idea ..." Obi replied , as he raked a nervous hand through his hair.
"Why not?!" She retorted, shooting him an angry quizzical look.
"It's just that ...Maybe..I don't know...It isn't time for you to meet my mom...Yet. I'm just saying?" Obi stuttered waiting for her to explode as he knew she would.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?!"
There she was , He sighed referring to her erratical behaviour of blowing things out of proportion.
"We've been dating for Two months, One week , Six days , Forty two minutes and exactly five seconds and counting."
"Well, someone had been keeping count." Obi thought. He couldn't even remember where he left his phone most of the time.
"So I don't see the reason why I can't get to know my boyfriend's mom." Blaire said finally before giving him a piercing look. "Unless you're hiding something from me..." She raised an eyebrow. "Or someone?"
"Am I under investigation because I have the right to an attorney you know." He joked and she punched him slightly on the arm.
"I'm not kidding Tobi." Her voice was low and her eyes almost filling up with tears. "I just want to know , Maybe I'm not good enough or..."
"Hey , Hey Hey...." Obi grasped her hands when he noticed her ready voice and tilted her chin towards his face. "You don't ever have to worry about that Blaire. You'll always be more than good enough for me. I don't just want you to feel...well ...hurt , if my mom's a bit judgemental of you."
"Are you sure?" She snifled , her eyes brightening.
"Absolutely."

"Ada go and see who' s at the door! " Tasha shouted out from the kitchenette where she was washing some dishes. Ada grumbled as she had to pause the video games she was playing at intermittents and go answer the call at the front door.
"Welcome to my home." Obi told Blaire as they both walked in and he shut the door behind them.
"Aw, Who is this little cutie?"..." Blaire said affectionately as she spotted Ada by the door glaring at her with uncertainty. As she made to come close, Ada took a discreet step back , still staring with untrusting eyes.
"I'm Ada. Obi's sister. Nice to meet you."
Blaire cast careless glances around his house while she was led by Obi towards the Kitchenette to meet his mom. She was wearing a homely apron and had her hair packed in a bun with strands falling out."Let me introduce you to my mom. Mom, meet Blaire my...Friend .Blaire , meet my mom."
Blaire smiled sweetly at the older woman and extended her hand for a probable handshake. "Good day to you Mrs brown."
"Forget the formalities." Tasha said waving it aside. " Just call me Tasha." Obi's Mom looked at the girl in front of her with warmth in her eyes and hugged her.
"Obi has told us so much about you."
"Mom...Please don't embarrass me." He groaned.
"Well , I hope they're nice things." Blaire responded.
"Thank you mom for making things awkward ." Obi sighed taken Blaire's hand and half - dragged her in the direction of his room. "We'll be going now."
"Sorry for that." He confessed as they got to his room. "My mom can be a bit... sometimes."
"She is wonderful." She smiled.
His room was surprisingly neat for that of a teenage boy. His school books piled neatly in his shelves , posters where hung on the wall as achievers quotes were streamed around ; but in all neat.
He rested in a chair nearby while she sat on the bed and they began conversing about everything and nothing in particular.
But Obi wasn't concentrating on her lips as she spoke but his eyes were rather strongly focused in the outline of her bra which was remarkable visible underneath her chiffon gown.
Once she stopped , to tie up her undone shoelaces and the view he got was...
Let's just say Magnificent.
Just being this close to her join her for his heart racing like crazy and he was perspiring like it was puberty all over again.
He tried comport himself but all his strength was failing him and his emotions was about to betray him ; mostly physical. But he couldn't since it was too early in their relationship...
Or was it?
"You're the best boyfriend any girl could ask for." Blaire smiled as she placed her hand around him. Obi felt he was going to explode as her body pressed against him . Blood pumped violently through his veins as he tried to register what was happening.
Awkwardly placing her aside , he shot to his feet , all red and flustered. "Excuse me for a sex...I mean sec...I think I left your oven on...I mean my oven on... So I...just gotta go."
"I don't think you did." She said rising up to meet him , her chest bouncing along as he held his hand. "Are you okay?
"Yes... of course I am. But I really gotta go." He said hurriedly , his eyes still focused on where they shouldn't be before he jolted out of the room shutting the door behind him.
After some minutes alone , Blaire stood up from the bed and peeped out the door to see if anyone was coming. Seeing none, she returned to the bed and took out her phone. Reaching for Obi's which he had forgotten in the table top , she quickly typed in his password " TASHA " . She had seen him type it in a thousand times before and it wasn't really hard to guess since he was such a mama's boy.
Once the phone swooped open , Blaire quickly went to his Contact list. Scrolling through it , she finally came upon the particular name and number she was after.
She quickly began copying the info to her phone , while stealing glances at the slightly ajar door to see if Obi was approaching .
"What are you doing with my brother's Phone?" Ada questioned giving her a death stare.
She have a stern smile and dropped Obi's Phone back on the table top and slipped hers in her pocket. "I was just looking at a picture he took of us. Nothing a little cherub like you would understand." Blaire walked towards Ada and pinched her cheeks playfully. "Now run along like a good little girl."
Ada wanted to object but then Obi came into the room and asked her what she was doing there.
"She just came looking for you and she was about leaving." Blaire gave her a look. "Weren't you Ada?"
"Yeah." She smiled and closing the door behind her she left.
Ada wondered was Blaire was doing with Obi's phone without him been there. How was she able to unlocked the password? What did she want with it? Was Blaire's to be trusted? Should she tell Obi of her suspicions?
No, she decided. Nobody might believe her if she just started saying all these conspiracies. For now, Ada resolved...
She had to keep her sneaking suspicions to herself.
