“These feelings are true.”

“Yeah, they are true,” I said sarcastically.

All of a sudden, he pulled closer and smacked his lips against mine. I wouldn’t lie; those lips tasted like strawberries. But what the heck was I doing now?

I tried to push him away, but his grip was tight. I stepped on his shoe and his foot, and he quickly let go of me.

“Ouhh, what the hell was that for?”

“I should be the one asking you that,” I retorted. “Were you trying to rape me?”

“Why would I do that?”

“Because you’re a psychopath. Bitter and a psycho.”

Luke shook his head. “I see what you’re trying to do here.”

“Oh, please, shut it.”

“Daddy. Aren’t we going to buy some food anymore? I’m starving.”

“Okay, little one. Let’s get you some food. There’s an eatery nearby. Right, Ariel?”

“You ask me, na, who do I go ask?” I shrugged.

Luke gave me a confused face. “Say what now?”

“It’s a song. Like, that’s the lyrics of the song,” I tried explaining to him, but he was still giving me that face. “It’s a Nigerian song.”

“Oh, right, it all makes sense. But that sounds so wired in your mouth.”

“Because it’s not my language.”

I’m being real.”
