CHAPTER 13

“What was that?” Josephine asked immediately Laurent left.
She’s sure she said no such thing or discussed anything like that with Pascal. She was aware he was up to something and she wanted to know it that is why she refused to follow Laurent again.
She didn’t have a poor memory so it’s hard for her to forget things easily.
“Where are the names?” Josephine asked again and Pascal swallowed hard.
“I don’t have it” He replied, scratching his head.
He got trapped in the lie!!
“That was a stunt right? Why did you do it?” She asked.
“I don’t want you to go with him” He replied and she raised her brows.
“Why?” She asked, leaning her backside on the table edge.
“I just don’t like him around you” He replied sincerely.
“You should go into acting” She smiled.
“Are you mad?” He asked.
“Why are you here by the way?” She asked, ignoring the question.
“You said we will see in school” He replied and she started laughing.
“You are really something else Pascal, ok now that you stylishly chased Laurent away sort me out cos I’m hungry” She said.
“I will get lunch for you or better still let’s eat out together” He said.
“Eat out with my student? I don’t want people to get the wrong idea”
“What’s the big deal? You can’t date your student?” He asked and she looked at him sharply.
“Are you seriously asking me that? Hell no, I can’t date my student” She replied and he swallowed hard.
He walked closer to her and stopped before her, she looked up at him.
His hands went behind her back and he started arranging her hair.
His fingers touched her neck and she felt tensed up immediately.
He stepped back and looked at her.
“I will take responsibility and get you your lunch, just a minute” He smiled and walked out.
The banging of the door brought Josephine back and she blinked. She touched her neck and sighed.
Why does she always find it hard to push him away when he’s so close to her?
“I thought you were not going to come again, what were you doing?” Nathan asked when Pascal settled down beside him.
“Where are the girls?” Pascal asked and Nathan glared.
“What!! You are always flirting with them so what is bad about me hooking you up with them? You should be praising me” Pascal mocked.
“My payback is coming” Nathan said and started eating again.
“Where is Jerry?” Pascal asked.
“Sir Ethan called him”
“Were you in Miss Josephine’s office?” Nathan asked.
“How did you know?”
“So I’m right, what were you doing there? Oh, my bad, she is your flatmate”
“Are you indirectly mocking me bastard?” Pascal said.
“Don’t crush on that lady cos she looks like someone who won’t date her student beside she is older, it’s an advice bro”
“I’m not crushing, okay? Nathan Bassesy” Pascal groaned.
“I’m a singer so I will accept the name” Nathan smiled.
“Ain’t you going to order your food?” Nathan asked.
“What is bad about sharing?”
“We are in the school, not at home” Nathan replied.
“I don’t care” Pascal replied and snatched the spoon from Nathan and started eating from Nathan’s plate.
“What!! Pascal!!!”
*****
“What!!! You are at my house?” Josephine’s eyes widened.
“Yes, try and come back quick” Mindy said.
“What if I’m still doing something in school?” Josephine asked.
“You already told me when you are closing so cut it off and get here now” Mindy said and Josephine groaned.
“I wish you were still in the place you were before, you are a big headache”
“But you love me like that, get here now” Mindy said and hung up.
Josephine pocketed her phone and walked out of her office.
She walked to the car parking lot and saw Pascal leaning on her car, pressing his phone.
“Kiddo” She called and he looked up.
“Finally” He breathed.
“You were waiting for me? What changed today?” She asked.
“Just wanna ride home with you, I’m tired of us pretending not to know each other, it’s sickening” He muttered and she chuckled.
“Let’s go” She said and walked to the door but Laurent got there and called out to her.
“Miss Josephine”
“Oh! Laurent” Josephine turned and flashed a smile at Laurent.
Pascal scoffed and glared quickly.
“Going home already? Can we have lunch tomorrow?” Laurent asked.
“Sure” She replied and Laurent smiled, he entered his car and drove away.
Pascal stood there staring at his car.
“Are you not coming in again?” Josephine asked and Pascal turned to her.
He entered the car and she started the car. She drove out of the school and silence took over in the car.
“Why do you even agree to eat lunch with him tomorrow?”
“Why? Should I refuse?” She asked and he sighed.
“I was planning to do that with you tomorrow” He replied and she cackled.
“I’m your teacher..
“Not again miss Josephine, I know that but can you stop rubbing it on my face?” He groaned lowly and she said nothing again.
They got home and met another car in the compound.
The moment Josephine’s car halted the door of the other car opened and Mindy came out.
Josephine and Pascal stepped out too.
Mindy hugged Josephine immediately.
“Hey stop acting like you are seeing me for the first time” Josephine laughed.
“I missed you so much” Mindy pouted.
“So you were serious?”
“I’m always on track when I say something, let’s go in, I want to see how your new house is” Mindy said and started pulling Josephine in but her eyes landed on Pascal and she stopped with a gasp.
“Who is this cutie?” Mindy asked and Josephine turned.
“My roommate” She replied.
“He’s so handsome” Mindy gushed and hugged Pascal immediately.
“Mindy” Josephine scolded.
“You are so handsome, I’m Mindy, what is your name handsome?” Mindy asked, breaking the hug.
Pascal smiled.
“Pascal” He said.
“You didn’t tell me you have this handsome guy as a roommate” Mindy said and took Pascal’s hand.
She started walking with him to the door and Josephine shook her head in frustration.
When would she stop this crazy attitude??
Nathan entered the eatery and met Manon walking to the kitchen with dirty plates on a kitchen tray.
“Miss Manon” He called and she looked back.
“Nathan” She said cheerfully and he went to her.
“You are here?” She asked.
“Yes, where is Camila?” He asked.
“She stepped out to get something, come with me” She said and Nathan went in with her.
“Nathan” They heard Camila’s voice and they turned.
She rushed to where they were and smiled delightfully at Nathan.
Manon smiled and left.
“What did you step out to get?” He asked.
“Girls stuff” She replied.
“Tell me, are they pads?” He asked and she gasped.
“Nathan” She said and hit him.
“So tell me I’m right?” He asked teasingly and Camila palmed her face.
“You are embarrassing me Nat” She said.
“You didn’t tell me you were coming” She said, changing the topic.
“Do I really need to do that?” He smiled.
“Do you eat beef?” She asked.
“Yes, I’m an African, it’s a special meat in my country” He replied.
“I reserved some for you though I was contemplating whether you will come”
“Why didn’t you call me?” He questioned.
“I’m the only one doing the calling, I don’t want to look desperate, let’s go” She replied quickly and took his hand.
“I will help you in serving” He said and she smiled.
****
“So how old are you?” Mindy asked Pascal.
“20” He replied.
“I’m 23” She said.
“Same with Miss Josephine” He said.
“We shared the same day and month too” She said and he smiled.
“You guys have a lot in common”
“Do you have a girlfriend?” She asked.
“No” He replied.
“What!! Are you kidding me? Don’t tell you are not interested in girls, are you gay?” She asked and Pascal gasped.
“What!!! I’m straight”
“You mean with this handsome face no girl is there to appreciate it, you are 20” She said and fell on the couch.
“You are so outspoken” He said.
“That’s Mindy for you, I am like that with people I like, I like you too” She winked and Pascal laughed.
“I like you too” He said.
“You can’t h@ťě me unless you are not normal, a normal person can’t h@ťě Mindy” She said.
“Try and get a girlfriend or I will date you myself” She said.
“Can you stop disturbing the poor guy?” Josephine came out of the kitchen with a plate of plantain chips.
Mindy rolled eyes but when the smell hit her nose she spranged up.
“That’s plantain right? My favorite” Mindy grinned.
“You are not eating from this plate, I asked you to join me but you refused, eat your discussion with Pascal” Josephine said and rushed back into the kitchen.
“Ahhhhhh!!!” Mindy screamed loudly running after her, her hair flying.
Pascal shook his head and started laughing. “She’s crazy!” He laughed again…
