STUDENT'S PET

YOLANDA LEFT

Oziegbe's pov

It's 2:15pm when I finally wake up. My smile is the first thing I felt about me. I'm elated. Last night was heavenly, celestial, mindblowing. That Beach s*x plays vividly in my mind, I refuse to let it go.

Next thing I felt about me was absence. She slept by me. On my chest. Her leg wrapped around me, her tiny snore a dance to the melody of my heartbeat. All of that, are gone. She f*****g left.

I slip a shirt on, pick my phone.

"Put me through room Helion"

"Goo.."

"Leave your f*****g greetings"

"She left sir. Someone else is occupying it. Should I still p.."

"Find a way to call the occupants out now & leave it open. I need to check something"

I hang up on her & race to her room. I don't care if I look manic- I run about three floors with alacrity I never knew I had. Her room is perpendicular to my floor, below me. Almost like section two of the Beach house building but all flats are enjoined together

I reach her Room & my stomach takes a deep gulp. Her scent have been replaced. Nothing of hers here. The new occupants haven't relaxed in, so I check the toilet & changing room. I feel my eyes sting with tears as I hit the floor of her changing room

"f**k you Yolanda. Fu..." I don't have a heart. I only feel meshed potato being watered down deep in me. And something twisting my flesh.

My sight is clouded with tears until it catch on something. I crawl up to the closet, open it & I see it. A picture of her. Printed out in A4 paper. If I thought I couldn't breathe then now is worse. I stare at it hard till I see lines of penmanship at the back. I turn it around

-----"To the one that poured me all his love yet all I could do in repayment is to bleed on him, Forgive me not. For I bled on the soul that didn't s***h me.

I still have lots of healing to do... That's a lie, You healed me. All I can do is keep you alive, also in my heart.

One selfish request: Please, be a Good boy & take your time forgetting me.

Your little slut" I clutch it to my chest as I search through the closet for anything she might have left. Nothing. Empty remnant like my heart.

I don't know when I walked out but I'm in my room. The treasure she left in front of a mirror. I need to look at her face whilst reading the letter. Her image staring at me through the mirror while the letter bury in my sight. I have it imprinted in my head now but I read again & again.

I gained a new resolution to find Chen when I figured this will happen but he's nowhere to be found. I just need him out of the picture to keep Yolanda calm.

Maybe I don't. That word resonate out & jolt me up with vigor. I can keep her by my side,even marry her up... It should deter Chen. At least, the woman he wants is now legally someone's wife. She will be bound to be protected by me.

I give the one with all of her info a call.

"I'm getting married,I need her address Wales"

"I don't talk to rudelums... And psychos"

"I can marry her legally & have it deter Chen. Bound to me, she'll allow me deal with him"

"You're 20 years old. In High school. If your family" He takes a breather then hiss out

"Am I okay sef? IF YOUR MOM hears of this, All of us are dead"

"We can elope"

"You sound like.... Yeah, Chen" I hate that comparison but it's the one thing that grounds me still. My bones drive themselves into a huge grinder & cause the thread holding my voice to break

"I can't let her go. I know I should. I know I agreed, but my bones are breaking, I can't" My ass finds the floor as the truth leaves my lips

"It'll get easier. We'll brainstorm something. Drag out Chen even if it's by Trap"

Oxygen is Wind. Now I know, as I feel it entering my nostrils, bones, heart, brain.

"We can trap him out?" I know I sound like Ingot awarded a new jelly

"Yes lover boy. I'll think of something to rile him up, make him show up then we send him to authorities or Lego security. They're tougher"

"I love you. I can't believe you'll do that for me"

"Yuck" He makes a gagging sound but I'm on the wings of happiness.

"But you had s*x by the beach! On the sand! What aphrodisiac did she give you?"

"I'm counting on that trap".

My phone pings. Group chat. He f*****g texted them! I won't hear the end of this

---Wale: She Left him. Stay away from this beast. He wants to visit her house.

---Twin sis: How bad were you? That not even overnight pounding could keep her?

---Big sis: Let her go. She have her reason. Already had an obsessive dude, still in fear of him. She doesn't need you in that category.

"You're signing our friendship annulment" I tell Wale that's still on call but that b***h hangs up on me

I understand better why she sees Chen in me. She's just clouded by love for me. Maybe I should let her go

Me: I'll let ger go. She mentioned seeing the obsessive Chen in me

Twin sis: GBAM!! YOU'VE DONE IT

Wale: OGA FOR THE POSSESSED

Their sarcasm only send my eyes back

Big sis: I wish to tell you to hold on to her. But she has PTSD from such act

Twin Sis: Yolanda what did You put in your stew?

Big sis: That makes these men crazy for your juice?

(It's a song reference for "People are obsessed with you")

Wale: Naaaa, it's YOLZ.

Big sis: YOLZ Baby. Come & Pick your puppy

Wale: YOLZ!!!

ME: Stop f*****g calling her Yolz! She's Yolanda to you all! Yolanda! Yolz is mine"

I can't believe I'm this mad at them calling her Yolz. I know they're teasing me but I don't like seeing them type out my nickname for her. I love how it rolls out of me. They're contaminating it

Twin Sis: Abort abort! It's- KNIGHT KNIGHT, where art thou?

Wale: You went all in bro. Boat sail, Yacht dinner. Volleyball. We should call this... MOTION DATE

Twin sis: You forgot the dresses, Hair clip.

Big sis: Swimsuit That was personally stiched & hand swen by Aliyah Adejumo of LIYA'S STITCHES.

Wale: Which he ended up not giving her

Big sis: Your audacity lil bro. I already placed the order for Taste of Diamonds Champagne,on Your bills

Wale: I did the same. If you can order it during dinner then later send Five more to her hotel room. You can buy two for me

Twin sis: FIVE MORE OF GOUT DE DIAMANTS CHAMPAGNE?! Bro, you have well of money somewhere? My allowance and salary for Ten years can't cover that!

Me: When did I become your bro?

Remaining in this chat will only aggravate me more so I ignore them & bring Out my system to find what I can on Chen.

Wale sent me an email yesterday

Three hours later & my jaw is on the floor.

He's exactly as she said, no exaggeration.

I return back to the chats.

Twin sis: Remember me thine womb mate. We came out same time. Scratch that, you're the ancient one with oh so full wisdom. You came before me. ELDER BRO!

Wale: I wish you both can be together Oz.

I ignore the remaining messages & go straight to point.

"What is the angle on Chen? I Need him settled & out" This family holds little to no secrets, I don't know if we're nosy or it's because we've easy access to informations

They're still online but Boma replies first

Twin sis: True, Let's deal with Chen. Not that you're good for her. That obsession can't work out, don't kpai(kill) someone's daughter

Big sis: Even if you can't be with her, you deserve to know she is alive & safe

Wale: And she deserves a little treat for putting up with you. Imagine the death sentence on seeing your smug face daily

Me: I'm wailing. Thank you for nothing.

They ignore my sarcasm as usual, so I ask the most important question.

What do we have about Chen? He has been radio silence.

If not for you all, I wouldn't relate the SHE'S MINE letter, the man by window & glass break together. Why have he been radio silence since?
