Sophia woke up in the middle of the night abruptly. She felt a sharp pain in her chest. She held it for some minutes then laid back again. She couldn't sleep so she picked up her phone and went online. She dropped a message for joseph thinking he will reply since he liked staying up late.
Unfortunately, he didn't reply but she didn't think much about it. She stood up and went to her store room to check her clothes and spend time there to sort them out.

Joseph groaned deeply and held his head. His whole body was aching and it was so uncomfortable. He closed his eyes again to recall what happened to him and why he was feeling this way. But he felt something on the bed with him. He slowly turned his head and looked at the other side of the bed.
"What the fuck?" he cursed loudly jumping out from the bed.
Favour was awaken by his voice; she sat up on the bed and greeted him.
"Hey, good morning Joseph."
"What did you do?" joseph asked angrily after realizing that he was naked.
"No. The question should be what we did?" she corrected him and smiled.
"Well, we slept together." "That's what happened."
Joseph fell on the bed again. He held his head sitting pitifully.
"What have I done?" he sobbed. "How could you do this to your own best friend?" he asked shouting at her.
"Why won't I do it to her? Every time she gets the best things. She's dating a rich guy and I am single. She keeps showing off things you get for her while I have nothing. She can't be happy while I am unhappy", she responded with an angry tone.
Joseph looked at her surprisingly. What kind of a friend was this? Now he had slept with her. What was he supposed to do about this?
"Now listen to me Favour, you're not going to say a word about this. You will leave my house quietly and I'll pay you off. Do not say a word to Sophia or anyone."
Favour felt her blood boiling. "Did he really love Sophia this much?"
She picked up her phone and showed him something. Joseph stood with his mouth open. This friend was extremely wicked. It was a video of them on bed.
"Why would you video us?" he asked with a shaky voice.
"So there will be evidence. You're going to do whatever I ask of you or I will send this video to Sophia?"
Joseph felt his heart beating so fast. He immediately had so much hatred for her. "What do you want?"
"Let's be friends with benefits. I'll give you my body and you have to spoil me with gifts and money" she replied dropping her phone back on the table.
"Must you stoop this low, Favour?"
"You guess. Deal right?"
Joseph thought for a while and he agreed. He couldn't let Sophia find out about this.
"Deal."
*****
Sophia had classes so she went to school early. She met up with favour and talked with her.
"You are glowing, who's the man?"
"Man? Well, there is." Favour responded touching her hair.
"Who is he?" "Do I know him?" Sophia asked.
"Yes, and you will be shocked but for now it's a secret."
"Oh, I see."
They went to their different seats when the lectures started. It lasted for just an hour. When the class was finally over, Sophia picked up her bag and left the hall.
She went to the law department to look for joseph since she hadn't heard from him since yesterday. When she got there, she got inside the building and just walked slowly. She didn't know if he was even having lectures or not so she just hanged around.
While she was waiting around, she dropped a message for him that she was outside his department. She sighed and put her phone back in her bag.
"Sophie?"
Only one person knew that name apart from her so she turned to look quickly.
"Fred!!!" she exclaimed.
"What are you doing here?" Fred asked. Sophia smiled and said she was waiting for a friend.
"So that means I'm not your only law friend, I guess." He said sadly. Sophia found his reaction cute. She touched his shoulder and tapped him.
"It's my boyfriend I'm waiting for", she confessed with a shy smile.
"You have a man?" "Well, it's normal for a beautiful lady like you to be taken."
"Duhhhh" she rolled her eyes.
Fred kept her company till Joseph came. Joseph was shocked when he saw Sophia with a man. He didn't know her to have male friends. She didn't even have many friends.
"Hey babe," he hugged and kissed her on the cheek. Sophia did same. Fred was there watching the both of them. He saw how joseph held her waist tightly and gave him a deep look.
"Sophie, we'll talk later." He said and left.
Joseph gave her a suspicious look and asked who fred was.
"He's just my customer and also a law student." "Do you know him?" she asked him.
"Yes, he's my course mate but we don't really talk."
"Okay."
"You missed me right?" "Sorry, I was busy yesterday and slept off without checking my phone."
"It's fine." "Let's go."
