"Damilola!" June tapped her, and Damilola opened her eyes to the bright colourful room. Beside her, June stood with a toothbrush in her hand.
"What?" She growled, rolling over to the other side of the bed.
"Did you forget! Today we are attending the Love home!" June raised her brows at her, and Dami blinked over, confused. She hadn't recalled anything like that, and wait a minute!
She looked at June's hand, she held in her hand a toothbrush, meaning she stayed in her apartment that night, and she could barely remember much from the night.
"Why do you have that?" Dami asked, her voice echoing throughout the room, and she struggled to get up while scanning the room.
"You don't remember?" June chuckled, "You weren't even drunk, don't give me that s**t" she added.
"Remember what?" She asked, still rubbing her swollen eyes.
"You called me over!" She said and looked at her while she walked into the bathroom. "I was surprised you seemed like you went out, 'cause you had that purple tight gown on" She turned over to her. Damilola shook her head, hoping the memories from last night would flood in. From what she recalled yesterday, she had drinks with Jason and she paused.
"You mean I called you over?" Damilola asked, "I mean why would I call you over?" She said with a small laugh.
"Yes! You did, and oh Mrs Valentine said she would be needing 200 cupcakes for that event... Don't worry! I have it organized" June said feeling proud. But Damilola tried her best to remember the whole conversation from yesterday. "But-" June got interrupted by Damilola's squeal. "Gosh, what is it?" June turned over to her.
Damilola breathed and her plum lips captured his. Jason's breath increased, and he pulled her closer, trapping her in his arms. His mouth opened and welcomed her warm tongue. His lips, his hands in her air, his chest, his taste, his arms over her. She remembered it but why did she forget?
Suddenly, she remembered she had two bottles of red wine after Jason had dropped her at home. Maybe that's why she called June.
"What is it?" June yelled yet again.
Damilola got up, she looked around and she was in her apartment, someone was missing she glanced around and the room was bright, June had left the curtains open and the city view was beautiful with the golden sunrise shining in. The flowers by the window danced to the rhythm of the wind.
Bark!
"Peach!!!" She screamed, pushing June out of her way, as she struggled to get her up from the floor. "Oh, my goodness, I missed you!" She picked her up to her body and kissed her while peach barked.
June watched with annoyance.
"I'm guessing something happened, Dami you've been avoiding my eyes, Oya comes here" June ran forward and sat at the edge of the bed.
Dami looked at her and rolled her eyes and continued kissing peach.
"Jason?" June said, Dami paused and she smiled. "Last night called you" June got up and side-glanced at her, she found her spying around the room for her phone.
"Yesterday, I am guessing you had a nice time?" June smiled sheepishly, turning to her and folding her hands across her chest.
"I have no idea what you're talking about," she said, and pushed the white duvet, holding tightly to peach.
"It happened right?" June teased, Dami swallowed and looked at her.
"Ain't you been too nosy? Yeah, I went out with him yesterday, I followed your advice!" She said, June smiled, and followed her to the sitting room.
"And?" She inquired.
"Well, nothing happened, we just-"
"Did you kiss?" June asked before she could continue.
She wasn't going to answer that, Dami let go of peach and watched as she rushed to the other side of the living room, while June sat with her toothbrush in her hand. She sighed.
"He invited me, I mean like gave me an actual invitation," she said and walked to the fridge.
"What invitation?" June asked, Dami sighed.
"I don't know, he said with was his sister or brother I couldn't get the details, well I agreed to go, and I don't even have what to wear to the party, I don't even know what kind of party it is, I haven't opened the invitation yet" She sighed. "He invited me to the birthday party," she completed.
"We have that under control, we could just you know, visit the mall, I mean that's why we have the mall right?" She asked with a smile.
"But I was hoping he would say, he would pick me up and you know but he's different, and..." She thought, "So different like I can't even-" Dami breathed.
"Hey! We have the whole day to think about that, why don't you take the water you have, I think you're just pressured, it's nice that you feel this way" June praised.
Dami looked at her and rolled her eyes, while she took the glass of water, gulping it down.
"But when is the party?" She asked, Dami looked at her.
"5th," June's jaw dropped, and "Yes, I mean this fifth," she said with a giggle.
"That's on Saturday, isn't today Wednesday?" June asked, Dami raised her shoulders, dropped the glass into the sink and continued to the living room.
"It is, anyway you said today's the day we visit the orphanage Wow, I totally forgot about that?" Damilola paused, staring at her, June smiled and got from the stool on which she sat.
Yeah, and I think Mrs Valentine would be at the orphanage though..." June said walking away, Dami finally found her bag she had used to go out by the side of the couch and luckily for her, her cell phone was also inside.
"We have to be early! Don't say I didn't wake up now, I did so let's be early today!" June encouraged.
"Wow, you're funny," Dami said, staring at her phone, Jason didn't leave a call.
