?HE IS MINE ?
Episode 25.
? Andrew?
Sophie sighed angrily.
It’s 8 o’clock and the rain has refused to stop.
” Sophie are you not going to sit down? I asked.
She frowned looking at me.
I smiled.
She has been standing ever since the rain started.
There is no doubt she will be spending the night here.
I feel happy though.
” Sophie c’mon” I said.
” Shut up Andrew, just shut up” she said.
I looked at her.
” It’s all because of you, this rain is falling because of you” she yelled.
I looked at her and burst out laughing.
” How?
She kept quietly staring at me.
“It’s not my fault soph”
” Then who’s fault? She asked.
” I don’t know” I shrugged.
She hissed.
” Even God wants you to spend the night here” I said.
She arched her brow.
” Well let’s me go prepare the bed for you because I don’t think the rain will stop any time soon” I said.
” Don’t you dare stand up from there” she said sternly.
” Why?
She hissed.
I looked at her funny face.
She is really cute when she frown.
She sat down beside me with her arms folded on her chest.
I looked at her.
” Quit staring Andrew” she said.
” Let’s me get you something to change into” I said standing up.
She looked at me.
I smiled.
She hissed and looked away.
I laughed climbing the stairs.
I got into my room searching for what she can change into.
She can’t put on her uniform to bed.
What will see change into now?
I thought.
I checked my closet and brought out my shirt. It is gonna be short for her, I dropped it.
I brought out one of my new night wear.
I don’t have any lady’s clothes here.
I walked down and met her sleeping on the couch.
I smiled and stare at her.
She suddenly opened her eyes and caught me staring at her.
She looked at me sternly.
I cleared my throat.
” You can change into this” I said handling the new night wear.
” This? She arched her brow.
I looked at her.
” You mean, am gonna wear this? She asked pointing at the clothes.
” Yeah” I said.
” Am sorry but I can’t”
” Why?
” I can’t put that on”
” Then what do intend to wear, your uniform or what? I said trying not to yell.
She looked at me then sighed.
” Okay, I will put it on” she said.
I gave it to her.
She stared at it for a while then stood up.
” Come with me” I said.
I took her to my room.
She walked in and paused looking around.
” Your room? She asked.
” Yeah” I said.
She looked at me then the clothes.
” That’s is the bathroom” I said pointing at the door.
” Okay” she said walking away.
Few minutes later.
She walked out of the bathroom slowly.
I looked at her.
The clothes is so big on her making her look funny.
I tried not to laugh.
She looked at the clothes and hissed loudly.
I burst out laughing..

? Sophie ?
Immediately Andrew saw me walked out of the bathroom.
He started laughing.
The night wear is just so big and I don’t like but I don’t have a choice.
It’s all because of Andrew.
He stopped laughing and looked at me face as I stared at him.
He burst out laughing so hard.
I looked at him confused.
” What’s wrong with him?
” What’s funny?
” Andrew” I yelled.
He stopped laughing and looked at me.
” Don’t you dare laugh at me again” I said sternly.
” You..you..
” Andrew” I yelled.
” Okay, sorry” he said.
” So where am I sleeping? I asked.
” Here” he said pointing at his bed.
I gulped.
” Are we sleeping together on this bed? I asked
” Yeah, is something wrong? He asked.
.
” On his bed?
” Are we sleeping together but but..
He snapped his finger at my face j.erking me out of my thoughts.
” Stop thinking dirty” he said.
I sighed.
” Okay you know what?
” What? I asked.
” Sleep on the bed, I will sleep on the couch” he said.
” Are you okay now with that? He asked.
I looked at him.
” Go to bed now” he said walking away to his closet.
He brought out his night wear and walked into the bathroom.
I sighed and climbed on the bed.
I covered myself properly with the duvet.
The rain has stopped.
I sighed closing my eyes.
.

? Andrew ?
I know Sophie thinks bad about me.
And that is because am one of the JAHD boys.
It is obvious she doesn’t like the idea of staying over.
I just feel like having her around me.
I walked out the bathroom and walked to the bed, she is sleeping.
I stare at her.
She is beautiful.
The rain already stopped but it started again with a thunderstorms.
She opened her eyes suddenly
She looks scared.
She was shivering.
” Are you okay? I asked sitting on the bed.
She stare at me blankly.
” Sophie , are you okay? I asked.
“Can.. can.. can…” She stuttered.
I held her shoulder.
“Is she scared of thunderstorm?
” Can you sleep on the bed with me? She asked lowly.
I looked at her.
” Please Andrew, I don’t think I can sleep alone” she said tearily.
” It’s okay Sophie” I said.
She nodded her head.
” Please”
” Are you sure you want me to sleep her? I asked pointing at the bed.
She nodded her head.
” Okay, let’s sleep” I said.
I lay on the bed beside her.
She faced the ceiling.
” Sleep Sophie” I said.
” Okay” she said shutting her eyes.
The rain became heavier with another thunderstorm.
Sophie opened her eyes and held me tightly.
” She is scared of thunderstorm”
She is frightened.
” Sophie” I called.
” Andrew..I..I..
” It’s okay Sophie, am here” I said.
” But I..
I held her cheeks.
” Am here with you Sophie, okay?
She nodded her head.
I smiled.
” Let’s sleep” I said and lay her head on my chest.
She held me tightly.
I smiled.
I love the way she held me tightly.
I smiled and kssed her hair.

the_next_morning.
? Sophie ?
I felt my head on something different from bed.
I opened my eyes slowly.
My head is on Andrew’s chest.
I gasped and removed my head.
I looked at him.
He is sleeping.
But how did my head got to his chest?
I remembered asking him to sleep on the bed with me.
I was scared of the thunderstorm.
I sighed.
I looked at him but his lips curved into smile.
Is he really sleeping?
He is cute tho.
But why is he smiling?
Is he having a sweet dream?
I tried getting down from the bed.
He held my hand.
I looked at her and he opened his eyes.
“Where are you going?
I looked at him.
” I need to go home” I said.
” Ohhh.. good morning” he said.
” Good morning so please come I drop me off, I need to prepare for school” I said getting off the bed.
” Nerd” he said.
I smiled.
I picked up my bag and walked out of his room.
I walked out of the house waiting outside.
” Let’s go” he said.
He is fully dressed in his uniform.
We got into the car and he drove off.
He stopped at my gate.
” Thanks Andrew” I said.
He nodded his head.
” I will be waiting for you” he said.
” No come in,” I said.
” You want me to come in with you? He asked.
” Yeah” i nodded her head.
We got out of the car walking in.
We got to the sitting room.
” Be right back” I said climbing the stairs.
I got into my room and took my bath.
I wore my uniform dropping the other one in the laundry basket.
I got dressed for school
I brushed my hair and walked out of the room.
I walked to pass Andrew going into the kitchen.
I prepared tea and bread.
I put in on a tray taking it to the sitting room.
” Please have this” I said.
He looked at me and smiled.
” You are so sweet” he said.
I smiled.
We sat down and ate it.
I returned the tray to the kitchen.
We got into his car and he drove off to the school.
.
We got into the school.
He came out and I did.
He held my hand and we walked into the school together.
Students glared at me but ignored it.
We bumped into Anna who was running out of the class.
She looked at us surprised.
She looked at our hands.
” Hi Anna” I said.
She ignored me and stare at Andrew.
He lets go off my hand.
” See you later soph” he said.
I smiled.
He pinched my check a little and winked at me.
I laughed.
He walked away without sparing Anna a glance.
I looked at Anna.
She held my hand dragging me out of the class.
She lets go of my hand when we got to an empty class.
” Stay away from Andrew” she said sternly.
I looked at her.
” Am warning you stay away from Andrew” she yelled.
I looked at her confused.
” Why? I arched my brow.
She kept quiet.
” Am tired of your nonsense Anna, first you ignore me and refused to talk to me and now you want me to stay away from Andrew” I yelled.
” Yes, I don’t want you near him, stay away from him” she yelled back.
I scoffed.
” And why?
” I like him” she said
” Ohhhh… you like him?
” Yeah” she half yelled.
I laughed.
” So it’s because of Andrew you have been behaving this way towards me? You want me to stay away from Andrew right? I asked.
” Yes..if you still want us to be friends you will have to stay away from Andrew” she said sternly.
I looked at her.
” Is this really Anna.
” Now listen to me, I don’t want our friendship anymore, I don’t care about us being friends and am not gonna stay away from Andrew” I said sternly.
She looked at me blankly.
I folded my arm on my chest.
” And do you know why? I asked.
” Why? She asked.
” Because he is mine.. Andrew is mine ONLY” I yelled.
” Do you get that now? I asked pointing a finger at her.
” Get rid off that feeling you have for Andrew” I yelled.
” HE IS MINE” I said sternly and walked out of the class.
Smile creeped on my face.
So she has been behaving like that because of Andrew.
Too bad I won’t be staying away from Andrew.
