Ambrose POV
.
I didn't stop there, after i become a bit relieved, I ate more. I wasn't going to read Hanna's facial expression, I miss know she's upset with me but I can't just help it, I miss home made delicacies.
"What were you thinking? You applied behind my back? Hanna attacked, Chief Ima had left the dinning room long ago. It's just I, the twins, their mom and Bobby.
"Dont start please" Haira raised her left palm at Hanna.
"You make me look like a trouble maker, Haira you arrived just two weeks ago and you are causing troubles already" Hanna shouted spitting venom.
"Dad insisted, I was avoiding you" Haira defended.
"Are you interested in becoming the CEO?"
"That's enough, Ambrose when are you marrying her?" Mrs Ima asked pushing aside her plates.
Here we go again, this woman keeps asking when I would marry Hanna.
"Soon ma" I responded washing my hands in the bowl in front of me, I guess I have had enough.
"I am tired of soon, when?" She fired showing impatience.
This woman never likes me, I don't know why she hate me this much, whenever I come to the house, she either ask when I would marry Hanna or accuse me of being a player.
"We haven't decided" I forced a smile.
"We? Or you?" Hanna frowned, she sat on the opposite side of the table, I frowned.
"We are yet to decide, we, I and you" I whisper eyeing her. She would make it look like its me delaying our marriage.
"I dont think it's really right asking him when he's coming for her, let him decide" Haira came to my rescue. I breathed, sometimes I feel like Mrs Ima want to tie her daughter to my neck.
"With the way your witchcraft is going, you would spend a larger part of your life in this house" Hanna attacked her sisters again, I am fed up and I think I need to leave.
I coughed slightly getting the attention of all of them, I quickly excuse myself, I am tired of all this talks.
"I will like to leave now ma" I stood on my feet, I turn to shake Haira for a lunch well cooked.
Without another word, I found my way out of the building and pick a cab to Jerry's house. I am in for troubles this afternoon.
Jerry's house
"Why are you here?" Jerry attacked immediately she flung the door open.
"Can I come in?" I asked grinning widely.
"No"
"You or Hanna, who's worse?" I asked standing hands akimbo.
"What?" She stood in the space holding both sides of her waist.
"I understand birds of the same feathers flock together now" I mocked hoping that she doesn't hit me with a rod.
"If you would insult me because I haven't granted you access to my sitting room, leave!" She fired, more like a order. I frowned trying to hold back my laughter, I just annoyed her.
"Jeremi! I think you should check yourself, your character I mean it's rotten and stinks" I sincerely advice.
"Do you know who you are talking to?" She yelled, I could obviously see fire in her eyes.
"My girl's bestie, so what?"
"Ambrose or what's that your name? She's the one dying for you not me, Whatever it's between you both sort it and let me breath"
She slam the door at my face, I shrugged, I was expecting worst things though.
"Stay away from my girl, virus" I yelled behind the door.
I walked back into the street, actually I am on a two days leave and a night before, Hanna and I had gone clubbing before she finally put up at my place. So, I have nothing doing for the next twenty four hours, I just wanted trouble, Hanna's friends were the targets.
Sonia's house
"You are better" I admitted.
"As in?" Sonia asked frowning, she must be confused.
"Jerry didn't even allow me in"
"You went to see her too?" She inquired.
"Yes"
"So why are you here?"
"To see if I can help with some bleach" I said as I gulp down the chilled wine she offered.
"Bleach?" She leaned forward in the chair she sat crossing her legs.
"You girls have dirty minds and bad attitudes, I would gladly donate bleach" I chuckled on my wine.
She murmured few words, I am sure she's cursing me underneath.
"Are you okay?" She sprang up of her chair.
"Can you cook?" I asked wiping my mouth with a handkerchief.
"Is this one alright at all? Because I allowed you in abi?"
"Bake me some cakes" I demanded, I know she can't cook, Hanna and her friends can't cook and would never learn.
"I dont have flour"
"Or you dont know how to bake?" I rubbed the back of my neck.
"Out!" She pushed me out of the room.
"2/3" I counted, one more friend to visit and provoke.
I picked up an empty water can and kicked it towards an aluminum gate.
"Na who be that?" I heard a strong voice echoed from inside the compound.
Mosa's house
"Did you cook this?" I searched through the bowl of noodles with an iron folk.
"Of course" She seems excited, feeling on top of the world.
Can somebody tell her that this noodles is swimming in a pool of water?
"You cooked water and sprinkled indomie inside?" I asked jestingly.
"Whatever!" She responded eyeing me.
"Why do you have to cut eggs over it?" I had another thing to complain of.
"It's called garnishing"
"Carry it, amadioha isn't hungry"
"How's she even coping with you?" She hissed pulling the plate of noodles towards herself.
"How is she expected to? you have influenced her negatively"
"I don't understand"
"What do you do for a living?" That's exactly what I have been trying to bring out.
"Modelling and marketing"
"Or prostitution?" I chuckled when I said this, prostitution is exactly what she does but she hate it when it's been rubbed on her face.
"Are you mad? You think you can talk anyhow because you are Hanna's girlfriend?" She finally lost her patience.
"Hey, take it easy huh" I tried calling her.
"Out!" She fired walking up to the entrance door. She held the door and waited for me to push myself out.
Not again, I am back on the street now, I wish i could do this every other day. The type of friends Hanna keep makes me feel uncomfortable. They are just too wayward and I am bent on separating them before I marry her.

Hanna POV
Mosa had called barely 5minutes ago to report Ambrose. Now, it is Jerry calling.
"Look, warn him! If he comes close to our den ehn" Jerry roared, I can feel the fire in her voice.
"Easy baby, I will talk to him, ugh am sorry" I pleaded on his behalf. This Ambrose of a guy, he think he can talk jagoons to my friends always.
"Do you really love him?" She asked in the lowest tone ever.
"I think I do?" I rolled my eyes, isn't it love when you feel uncomfortable not talking to someone everyday? If it's love, then I am in love with Ambrose.
"What about we? Us?" She asked reminding me of my dirty secret, a secret I wouldn't want my boyfriend to know of.
"I am done with that life, be happy for me please" I pleaded hoping that she would let me go.
"Han, it been me and you all through" She said in a bitter tone. I have no choice though, I am done with lesbianism.
"You opted out too" I reminded. Sometimes ago, we stopped practicing lesbianism because we both decided to settle down with our boyfriends.
"For who? George? He's as good as nothing, Stupid fellow" She hissed.
I cough not help it, I laughed hysterically, ladies aren't so lucky with men, I am just blessed to have Ambrose.
"Jerry, give men a try, I am happy with Ambrose seriously" I said holding my chest, I am sincerely happy in my relationship.
"I will think about it, Abel was here with those stuffs, come for yours" She said.
I exhaled, hard drugs? Not again, I promise myself to stop whuffling drugs.
"Ohhh babe, I am out of that life. No drugs, no lesbianism or prostitution. I just want the ring
"You are now a changed person" She commented from the obvious.
"Haira is back, I need to sit up for now, you know dad likes her a lot, I don't want to lose the CEO to her" I poured out my heart, Haira is way intelligent, I have to do double of everything and anything she does so that I can get myself the CEO post.
"Oh my God, now I understand. How are you dealing with competition?" She asked knowing the enemity between I and my sister.
"Dont know yet, dad wants her to be CEO" I hissed at the thought of me managing smaller position while she stays at the top giving orders.
"After all you did for the company?" She asked surprised.
"Can you imagine? I actually wanted a crazy life but hey, Dad pushed me into business and now he think she's better"
"Fight for it, I trust you" She encouraged and I nodded.
"Yes, I will" I assured her.
Call ended.
I have to fight for it seriously, CEO is my right and I am not giving it out to some cheap British girl.
