Ibukun turned over in her bed as she replied Lashe’s text. That had been her routine for the past one week. She rushed home and chatted with Lashe all night long. The first time they chatted into the night was the day they met. She had thanked him for the pictures and ended up talking more.

None of them realized that it was already past one am until Lashe claimed that he wanted to check the 10’0 clock news and was flabbergasted to see that it was already past one am.

Both of them had forced each other to sleep that day and that was how it started. The long calls, hours texting and video calling.

Ibukun burst into laughter seeing the emoji Lashe sent in reply to her message. She had discovered that Lashe could talk as much as he wanted as long as he found the right partner and he was comfortable with them.

Ibukun’s door opened and Tosinmile strode in to catch a silly smile on Ibukun’s face. She chuckled before kicking Ibukun who was about to make a voice note.
