6 Chapter 5

The morning air greeted Liam nostrils,he cursed putting on his helmet ignoring the winks and stares from female gender...God! women are so dramatic.

Starting his bike he zoomed off.

Liam asked so many times why he was angry.

One hot blooded girl wouldn't do to ruin his mood but this particular one had gotten under his skin,though he admitted she was beautiful but what's the use,she lacks manners and have a loosed tongue,no woman had ever humiliated him like that,they all pretends around him,but this one was just so different...so different

Iris went back to collect the breakfast bill but was disappointed to find the other seat empty with the meal hardly touched

Why did he order the food in the first place when he has no plans of eating it.

"Rich spoilt brat" she mumbled to her self

"Should I add that to the list of insults" Philip asked grinning at her with a profound interest

"Am sorry you got caught up in the middle of that...

" No don't be -actually I enjoyed myself"he said with an impish grin

"Why would he waste food like this with how expensive it cost -well i guess spoilt brat like him have no economy management in the world"

"Please pity the poor guy already his pride have already been crushed ,he is not just a Radom guy in this school pray he doesn't get you expelled"

"Why will he do that" she asked unfettered by Philip words

"He is not used to been crushed down especially by a woman"

Philip explained feeling a bit sorry for Liam

"Well I guess it serves him right" Iris added not in the list bit affected

"He offered money for any damage he might have caused"

Iris frowned "arrogant coward! If in his own world money solves everything then tell him he can shove his damn money down his throat"

Taking out only the bill for the food she stomped out with a slight limp irritated

Philip savoured the breath of fresh air as he walked down the road hoping to hitch a ride back to the campus since Liam had left earlier.

Deeply in thought Philip admitted he had never met a personality like that of Iris which have a complete change in disposition from been pleasant and ingenious to been testy and provocative

Seems like Liam have finally found his perfect match .

Whistling loudly he turned his back to see if he would get any lift from anyone of the students he was familiar with or get a shuttle to stop at least.

Philip felt different today since he was clad in one of Liam favourite blue Armani jean with a designer Versace polo shirt and matching boots he wondered where the Liam does his own shopping

The guy never seems to run out of quality accompanied with expensive designer wears his family must be that rich to have designers trooping in on a monthly basis.

The pieces did fit though apart from Liam aura of supreme confidence,intelligent looks included his natural born grace of Authority ,the silent respect he gets from the school administration, Philip has no doubt he is the son of the owner of the university ,there was no mistaken to the surname Obazee...

Oba Osenwengie Obazee

Philip found himself reciting the names though he had never met the Oba physically but curiosity had made him google it out and from TV stations there was no picture of Liam but there was that striking resemblance .

It had baffled him why his friend would hide his Royal blood,it was a thing to be proud of,it still didn't stop the attention he got also the truth that most people were envious of him.

Philip felt privileged to have him as a friend knowing beneath that rugged gruff exterior Liam was warm hearted he had showed him many times without knowing it himself that he possessed such a feeling.

Philip thought about how he had lost his parent to a misterious death and had lost everything he was on the brink of been withdrawn from school but Liam had helped him and his sister and had treated them like a family since then to him it was a way of making up for the family he had lost.

Philip hastenly gave up any hope of hitching a free ride since he remembered he had a test to catch

"What was it with lecturers and their damned tests"

*********************

Liam lay on his bed he had just finished working some maths problem for Esther a second year student,frankly Philip younger sister she had actually pestered him to help her work out the difficulties and explain it to her tomorrow.

Now the young prince admitted that solving a few maths questions was enough to lift his mood since he had been rather acting out of character since morning over some irrelevant personality that should not have in the list bit mattered.

"Hold my hand" by Akon emanated from the stereo player at the other side of the living room,

he was the only one lodging the apartment situated inside the school hotel his father had insisted for security reasons after Liam had adamantly turned down his offer about staying in the school hotel built for the Oba and inspecting visitors.

His room was opulently furnished to suite his taste and comfort he raised his head from his laptop when he heard a soft knock,he lazily stood up with a soft groan,praying it wasn't one of those demented girls he had warned the securities not to let any one close to his doorsteps without his permission.

"Who is it"

He opened the door ajar to see his friend Philip standing with a broad smile displayed on his face

"Hey man can I come in"

Philip asked already welcoming himself as he pushed past Liam

"Emm!sure be my guess " Liam replied literally Philip lives there too and acts Like he owned the place

"I hope you have beer or vodka in that fancy fridge of yours " Philip asked helping himself to the fridge as he groaned in grim satisfaction at the sight of beer.

Excited he brought out two cans of Gulder for himself turning to Liam "care for something"

"Vodka" Liam shouted out settling down at the two settee coffee couch he tapped the remote to switch the TV on surfing through several channels and styled for a sport channel.

"So what happened this time guy" Liam asked as Philip tossed him his requested bottle of Vodka and settled at the creamed Italian rug gulping down almost half of the beer content

Philip shrugged "I know am a pain in the neck just needed a place where I can get free beer and a pal to chat with"

"I don't mind been used" Liam chuckled Philip had been his buddy since his early days in the university ,apart from him having the knack of getting into trouble,he was a man's man that is if you separated him from Alcohol though Liam admitted Philip getting drunk was an entertaining sight it still bothered Liam that he was still grieving the loss of his parents who died mysteriously and suddenly left with nothing but the clothes they had on there back .

"Since you left the canteen I have not seen you"

"Been busy" Liam replied curtly as the incidents of today came rushing in

"Like stewing alone" Philip asked as he erupted in gales of laughter "I have never seen you so pissed no girl in this school not even miss high and mighty could get under your skin like pretty"

He tried not to laugh at the nick name Philip had given to Erin

"That girl at the canteen lacked manners for sure" he gulped down the rest of his vodka carefully tossing the bottle on the floor

"Tell me something Liam " Philip spoke"have a girl ever stirred any heart warming feeling like love inside you" carefully he scrutinized Liam's reaction

"Aren't those stuff melodramatic, those emotions are pathetic and popular lines I hear from people only after me for money"

Liam Was somewhat disgusted at the question

Philip gave his friend a sarcastic look pacified at Liam's blatant view of love,Philip was not a hopeless romantic but he believed love existed.

"My dear friend when you find your Juliet it will shape your view of things"

"For the love of God stop blabbering nonsense,have never been a fan of Romeo and Juliet though I was forced to sit through literature in high school but thier story was melancholic and too disastrous to be called love" Liam stood up and walked to the adjoining room totally forgetting the match he was waiting to watch

"You are welcome to spend the night and not drain my fridge by emptying all the drinks in your stomach...Christ all this gibberish talk of love just make me want to sleep"

Philip laughed as he found his way to the bathroom to tend to his business .

Liam admitted something was missing in his life as he dropped flat on his bed but he was still a vibrant young man with dreams he wants to achieve.

He closed his eyes as he drifted off to sleep dreaming of eyes that looks like two droplet of coffee in cream milk.

In his self consciousness he rolled his eyes at his lame attempt on poet.

When we get to a certain chapter of our

Lives we are amazed of what we have been

Ignorant of.
