Mine

Olivia's POV

The next morning, I met aunt at the dinning table .she noticed me and asked me to join her.

“Good morning, aunt “. I greeted.

She smiled at me and took a sip of her drink. I swallowed nervously because I knew what she wanted to say .and I was hoping she would change her decision, but then it's my aunt and I knew she won't.

“You are not going back to Nigeria”.she spoke slowly and softly.

I stared at her, thinking maybe what I heard was wrong, or my ears were playing pranks on me.

“I don't know if I heard you correctly”. I spoke confused.

She hissed and stared at me before speaking up 

“I'm not happy saying this or doing this, but Derick promised he would look after you and I have no need to worry about your safety and believe me I'm not happy with my decision, but I have to trust Derick this time “.she spoke softly and took a sip of her drink.

“Really”. I asked in joy while hugging her from behind.

“Don't make me change my mind “.she hissed softly and left the dinning table.

I couldn't suppress the anger, this means I would have to stay back in this country. I felt relieved and at peace .at least I won't be going home.

I went back to my room and changed my cloths. I eat my breakfast and left the apartment. I got out of the apartment and met Derick at the door.

“Good morning, baby “. He pulled me closely to him and softly kissed my lips. I moan and melt in his touch, not minding we were in front of my apartment. He released me from his grip and stared at me with a smile on his face.

“Seems you are getting more confident by the day “. He spoke with a big grin on his face. I roll my eyes at him and shyly look away.

I left him in front of the apartment and walk towards his car .he rushed to me and opened the door for me. I stared at him with an angry gaze before getting inside the car.

He sat on the driver's and started the car.

“How was your night”.he asked with his gaze focused on the road.

“My night was fine”. I lied .how could I tell him I wasn't able to sleep all night because I was worried about Rona.

“Olivia”. Derrick's voice brought me back from my thought.

“Are you okay, you seem lost “. He spoke with so much care in his voice.

I chuckled softly before speaking up.

“What did you say to my aunt to make her change her mind so easily”? I asked, 

“Don't you trust me”. He spoke with a big grin on his face. I roll my eyes at him before I chuckled softly.

“I did not say much “.he spoke proudly.

I roll my eyes at him before looking away .he chuckled and gently Stoke my hair. I smiled at him before looking away.

We got to campus, and he parked in the school parking lot.

We got out of the car and walked to class together. I felt so many eyes on us, but I felt less concerned, I was used to it by now.

We got to class, and we sat at the middle row.

Few minutes to lecture, Liz walked in and sat beside me .she flashed me a smile while staring at Derick with a curious look.

Throughout the class, I noticed Derick gazes on me .each time I met eyes with him, I will always roll my eyes and shyly look away.

After class, Derick excused himself from us.

“So”. Lizzy asked with a big grin on her face.

“So what “. I asked while rolling my eyes.

She scoffed and pick up her books.

“Did you tell him how you feel about him “. She asked while staring at me with a curious look.

“No”. I murmured

“Why “. She asked while we walk out of class.

“Because he was scared of hearing what I might say “,

“And what would you have said “.she asked, 

“I don't know “. I spoke truthfully. really, I did not have any idea of what I would have said if Derick insisted on getting answers from me.

“Girlfriend, you have to know your feelings for him, don't let him get his hope up “. She spoke with all seriousness.

I nod my head and walked along.

On our way to the library, I met Rita in the hallway .she stares at me with hatred before walking towards us.

“I smell trouble”. Lizzy spoke up when she notices Rita walking our way. Rita was a piece of cake for me to handle.

“Bitch”. She shouted in anger, 

I roll my eyes and tried to move away, but she held me back, 

“I'm not done with you “. She shouted in anger. I released her grip from me and stared at her with anger.

“What the hell is your problem”. I spoke in irritation.

She chuckled softly and clap her both hands in anger.

“You think you've grown wings because you are now my brother's whore huh”?. I felt anger run through my blood and all I wanted to do was to kill her there at the very moment .but Liz stood in front of me and held me.

“Rita, can you please stop this “. Liz spoke angrily.

“And who the hell are you to tell me what to do, “. Rita spoke with anger.

“Olivia is my friend, and you can't talk to my friends that way “. I stared at Liz and saw no atom of fear in her .this was the first time I was seeing standing up to Rita without fear in her, and all this was because of me.

“I'm not here for you, move away “. Rita spoke angrily.

“Make me “. Rita stood up her ground. Rita hissed in anger and stared at me with an angry look.

“You think you can hide under the wings of Rona and Derrick, huh”. She spoke in anger, 

“I'm not hiding under anybody's wing” I replied in anger.

She chuckled softly and claps her hands loudly, bringing the attention of few people to us.

“Listen everyone”.she shouted angrily, bringing the attention of people around us.

“Stop this “. Lizzy spoke angrily.

“Oh, I see, you want to cover up your friend's secret”. She shouts angrily.

She pushed Lizzy away and stood before me.

“I want Everyone to know how much of a whore that you are”. She shouted in anger. I stare around the hall and met eyes with students staring at me .some while whispering and murmuring, while others were staring at me with an angry look.

“This girl here is a whore to my brother and a whore to Derick”. She shouted in anger.

I felt my blood boiling, but I held myself, I did not want to cause a scene here.

I move away and decided to walk away, but she held me back.

“Where do you think you are going, you daughter of a whore “

 The moment I heard those words from her, I did not know when I pushed her to the wall and grip her neck with so much anger that she was having difficulties breathing.

“What did I hear you say “? I spoke in anger.

“Let go of me “. She spoke up while trying to catch her breath.

“How dare you “. I shouted in anger while tighting my grip on her. I saw tears falling down her cheek and I knew she was trying to catch her breath, but I did not care.

“Please, oli, let go of her “. Lizzy stood before us and held my hand. I stared at Lizzy's pleading face and released my grip on her.

“You don't deserve to die in my hands “. I spoke angrily and move away.

“How dare you “.she raise her hands and slap me so hard on the face. and before I could react to her, I heard murmuring and whispering around the hall. I turn around and met eyes with a furious Derick. He ignored me and walked angrily to Rita. Within a blink of an eye, he slap Rita so hard on the cheek that the sound could be heard all over the hall.

“How dare you “. He spoke so angrily that his voice could be heard all over the hall.

“How dare you raise your dirty hands on her”. He moved close to her, but I move quickly and stood before him.

“Let it be”. I pleaded.

He stared at me for a while before he hissed softly and took hold of my hand.

“Let's go “. He led me out of the hall with so many curious eyes on us.

We walked outside the hall and went to the parking lot.

He stopped walking and turn around to face me with anger in his face.

“You should know you are now my girlfriend and no one dares to treat you that way “. He spoke with so much anger in his voice.

“You are mine and no one dares to touch what is me “.he spoke with so much anger that I felt my body shiver in his voice
