Esse - Episode 17

I was laughing boisterously, when Ethan walked into my room. “See why I didn't want to introduce you to that series, you've being on it all day,” he complained.

I looked at him with a straight face, trying to look serious. But no, a funny part of the series decided to pop-up in my mind, making me laugh out loud again. 

He sighed. “You see what I'm saying right? And also don't watch too much of that movie, 'twill reduce your IQ.”

I huffed. “Abeg. IQ ko, IQ no.” I laughed again. 

He sighed again. “I'm not introducing you to another one, just forget it. And also your picking Eric oh. Dad took a driver to pick his parents, while mom took a driver to the hospital and as for me, I'm going out with the guys.” He stuck his tongue out at me. 

Seriously? So he's this immature. I sighed. “I would oh, but you owe me one.”

He started laughing at me. “I owe you nothing. You need to get out of this room more. I did it intentionally, so I owe you totally nothing.”

“No…I need more girl and self time duh.”

“Nah lie.” He turned to leave, but stopped and turned back to say, “And Rukky won't stop asking of you, he keeps saying ‘what about Erica’,” he mocked his 300 level friend in a tiny voice, making me laugh. “I've sha given him your number oh.” With that he walked out of my room.

I played my series, and continued watching. 

After watching my 'Jenifer series' marathon, I quickly lifted my head to check the time

. It was time for me to go and pick Eric. 

I grabbed my phone lazily from my study table, and made my way out of that house. Ethan had left since. The estate was dry, most of the people who made it lively had gone to school. I walked to Eric school. 

When I got to his school, they hadn't closed, so I waited in the reception. 

I switched on my data connection, and waited for all my messages drop. I had ten messages from Joesph. Ethan friend, Rukky had messaged too. I replied to all the messages, but when I got to the SS3 group chat, they were ranking and my name popped up.

“Hey,” someone greeted me, making me lift my head from my phone screen. And to my greatest surprise I was faced with Joseph.

“Joseph?” I asked in shock. “What are you doing here?” I questioned him before he could greet me, or ask questions. 

He smiled. “This is my mom school,” he informed me. 

Ohhhhh, I see. 

“What are you doing here?” he asked me. 

“I'm here to pick my younger brother.”

“Oh.. What's his name.”

“Esse!” Eric came running to me, before I could mention his name. 

I smiled warmly at Eric, hugging him back as he hugged me. “Hope you learnt alot today?” He nodded happily. I turned to Joseph and said,  “I'd talk to you later then, bye.” And with that I left with Eric. 

“That's my Propiertor’s son,” Eric tried to inform me. 

I smiled at him, and placed my hands on his shoulder. “I know.”

I blushed.
