CHAPTER FIFTY ONE: DANIEL LOVES ME?!
"Your brother drove? Is your brother eighteen? He has a car? What model?" he asked surprised at my response as he looked at me
I just love that he tinted his hair deep brown that rhymed with his skin color. He looks more handsome. I am sure he will get his black as soon as we get back to school
"Yeah, my dad taught him how to drive. I know it is illegal but, he isn't eighteen yet and hasn't actually gotten a car of his own since he is using my dad's old car. I don't actually know car models. I am not a freak in that" I said as I rested my back on the sofa and looked at the ceiling
"Wow! Your brother should be thanking his stars that no police was on your way here. What about Morayo and Victoria? Do they live around here?" Samuel asked as he looked at me with a smile
"No, I heard they both live in Alimosho local government" I answered
"It is far from here"
"I know right?"
"There isn't going to be a way that you will visit them"
"I can, if I can tell my driver to do take me to where they live but, I don't like spending time on the road" he said as he sighed and looked away
"What about your friends?"
"Them? They live in this area but, two of them had travelled while the rest is at home. I visited one of them by this time yesterday" he said as he looked at the ceiling
"Cool! You got a driver and a friend that lives around here" I said to him admiring the fact he has a chauffeur
"You have someone now" he said as he turned to look at me
"Nah, I can't come visiting you every time. I am not even sure of how to get here and whether I would be allowed to go that far" I said remembering how I am always been scolded if I go far
"You can follow your brother anytime he comes here since, he is dating my sister" he suggested as he turned to look at the laptop on his desk
"Okay, I guess that is another way for me to come here." I said with a smile as I turned to look at him and saw him took the laptop from his desk and placed it on his lap "are you coming on the first week of resumption?" I asked as I saw him power on his laptop
"Yes, what else am I doing at home?" he asked as he waited patiently for his laptop to boot "what about you?" he asked as he turned to face me
"I can't say yet" I shrugged as I look away and power on my phone
"By the way, can I get your number?" he asked as he took his phone from the desk and tapped on the phone icon and gave his phone to me so, I can tap in my number
"Okay" I said as I tapped in my digits in his phone before handling him back his phone
"Whatsapp number, right?" he asked as he collected the phone from me
"Yeah, it is both for calling and for Whatsapp" I answered with a gentle smile before looking at my phone
"Do you have any of your friends number?" he asked as he saved my number on his phone
"Yeah except, Victoria. Her phone spoilt recently and the phone she is using now is, button phone" I answered as I tapped on the contact icon for him to see both Victoria and Morayo's number
"Okay" he said as he copied the number and copied it in his phone and saved the numbers
"You done?" I asked as I looked at him saving the numbers
"Yes, thanks" he said as he went straight to the whatsapp icon and chatted some unread messages
"I heard about you and Daniel" he said as he still looked at his phone
"What about it?" I asked curiously as I looked away from my phone to look at him
"Childhood love and so on" he answered with a shrug before switching off his phone and then turned to look at me with an interested face
"Before I respond, who told you that?" I asked curiously as I switch off my phone and turned to look at me curiously
"Daniel, I am friend with him. Apparently, we met on the plane back to Nigeria and became friends there and just some time in school, he just suddenly said about you" he responded as he looked away and relaxed on the sofa
Daniel? Told him? Why? All of a sudden? About our past with someone I became close with?
"What else did he say?" that is all I could ask with all the questions in my head
"Just said he knows you after I mentioned your name because of the stuff we saw in the kitchen when we went to get something there, after saying he knows you, I became interested and asked him how he knows you and he just talked about your childhood experiences with him and you meeting with him in school" Samuel answered in a very much explainable way
He remembered me? He even remembers about our past and can't even clearly chat me up when he was in China?
Urgh! I am already starting to dislike him even more
"And he said, he likes you and he is glad you became more pretty as he imagined" Samuel blurted out almost immediately
Daniel said that? What the heck is wrong with him? He lives right next to my house, I can go… no that is so childish and is going to be like I like him also
"Are you sure Daniel said that?" I asked Samuel not wanting to believe that he said that
"Yeah, he was daydreaming while saying that. I was shocked and just asked what makes him like you and he answered saying, everything"
