Things moved on. I became a highly placed guest at Ada's home but that in no way affected my hatred for the aunt's husband. Ada always liked to have me around the house, first, for my company and secondly, in case her uncle decided to do something funny. Our waec exams were getting closer and everyone was busy with studies. I started attending extra lessons. Ada managed to convince her aunt and she too joined me. We would go by 2pm and come close by 6pm, by the time we were through playing love and everything, we would be getting home around 7:30.
Everyone at the lesson center knew us as a couple. Most of our various school mates attended the lessons with us and that included Janet. She had stopped talking to me and i supposed she had moved on.
Surprisingly, Ada was smarter than she looked. She loved answering questions there and soon became popular, all the guys wanted to know her, she was cute and sexy and so it was a normal thing. I loved showing her off to everyone and my classmates thought she was cute. I was the mr handsome and every girl around wanted to fling. I did flirt around but i tried to keep it moderate. Ada didn't mind much, she seemed glad that a lot of girls wanted what she had. She knew she had me and in the end, it was us alone in our world.

I seemed to notice that Janet stared at me once in a while. She would take her eyes away anytime i caught her. I decided it wasn't cool for me to observe her from afar, after all we were once together.

"Janet" i called her as i walked up to her after lesson one day. She looked at me and looked away.
"Are you now going to start ignoring me" i asked her
"What do you want from me" she asked facing me.
"Nothing, just thought i should know how you are doing for old times sake"
"I'm doing fine as you can see" She was trying her best to sound harsh but I saw through her camouflage and i saw the softness in her. I know Janet like i know the palms of my hand, she wouldn't even be standing there with me if she didn't care.
"I see, nice to know" i said.
"So that's the village girl you are sleeping with now eh? " she asked with so much  bitterness in her voice. I looked at Ada's direction and saw her smiling at me. A guy was telling her something but her attention was on me. I loved being cocky atimes, so i decided to give Janet a cocky answer.
" Yes, she's the one"
"So she gives it easily to you or what, is that why?"
"Hmm, maybe, i don't have to fight for it". The reply got to her, she stood speechless, we stared at each other for a while before Ada came and took me away.

I was in my room that night when my phone rang, i looked and it was Janet. Curiously i picked her call.

"Hello?" i said
"Quincy. Its Janet"
"Oh, whats up? " i asked
" nothing, will you be free tomorrow? "
" It depends on why you are asking"
" I want to see you " she said with a little stammer.
" Why, what for? " i asked
" I need your help with my maths, i'm serious now"
"Fine, lets wait for tomorrow "
" Goodnight"
" Yea, Goodnight "
I was really apprehensive about Janet's motive, she could get anybody she wanted to teach her mathematics. She had chosen me definitely for a reason and i was afraid i may not be able to resist her.
