CHAPTER 18


    We deemed the light and made it seem like we were in a cinema as we both sat on the big sofa. We


    had a bowl of popcorn in front of us even though we had just eaten. We had drinks too and Ridwan had


    asked if I wanted pizza or anyother thing.


    I rested my head on Ridwan''s shoulder as he pulled my closer to himself while I scrolled through


    movies to see which one to watch. I clicked on one I felt we might both enjoy. It was a thriller.


    When the movie was about to start I decided to tell Ridwan about Hawa''s birthday dinner tomorrow and


    even though I wasn''t sure how he was going to react to it and I really didn''t want to spoil the happy


    mood we were in but I still had to ask anyways.


    "So, You know Hawa right" I asked


    "Yeah, your very close friend in uni, how is she by the way"


    "She is okay, I told you she also moved to Abuja about the same time I got her too" I said


    "Yeah, I remember you telling me that" he said as he focused on the screen as the movie was just


    starting.


    "So, her birthday is tomorrow and she is organizing a small evening dinner at a restaurant for her close


    friends. You could evene if you want to, she asked me to invite you" I said and Ridwan was silent.


    I didn''t know what he was going to say and I I really wanted to go too.


    "Okay, you can go but make sure you are back early and I know when you get there and leave too"


    Ridwan said and i was actually really surprised he agreed. I had really been hoping that he would


    actually.


    "Thank you, Thank you so much. I promise I will let you know how everything goes" I said as I kissed


    him on the cheek.


    "Hope it''s not an all night thing though" Ridwan asked again probably still having some reservations.


    "It isn''t and it''s private too. Just a few friends over" I exined.


    "Okay" Ridwan said


    I focused back on the screen to concentrate on my movie back. I was actually really excited for Hawa''s


    birthday and if not too excited. I had not really gone our in a while, I missed lunch dates, the cinemas


    and visiting every new hangout spot even if it was just to take a picture. I did that a lot in Lagos while I


    was in uni with my friends especially Hawa and I always looked forward to it but now so many things


    had changed about me or probably because I just had to conform to everything because I probably


    didn''t have a choice.


    I didn''t even know when the movie ended because I had slept off on Ridwan''s legs while watching it. I

    really never watch a whole movie in one sitting but then Ridwan would have to exin to me what had


    happened after I slept. I knew Ridwan had carried me up into the room because I had woken up there.


    it was really nice having someone look out for you, I loved Ridwan and my Love for him grew even


    more with each passing day.
