"you are the mr Timi of the other day , isn't it?"
Benita's mom was surprised to see me again.
It was the next day after Aisha came to pull me out of the office.
"yes, I happen to be the same mr Timi " I answered with a soft smile to lighten the mood.
" how is it possible you became a friend of my daughter? " she asked with a serious face.
" mumcy chill.... They are just friends, simple friends " dread guy whose name I found out to be Daniel answered.
" well, it seems, you know odd " Mrs Modupe stated.
" well believe me madam, I wouldn't do anything to hurt your daughter, she's a great friend and that's basically all " hell, that's not all.
Did I mention I love her accent?
" Okay, well your presence seems to have done a lot to help her get herself,I appreciate that " she smiled at me before
"Hold it this way...""Okay, done "" not just about it being done, I need you to get a good grip "This is just ridiculous, Debra asked Daniel to teach her how to use a gun." can you give me one? " she asked him." no, it's too dangerous " he frowned." but you have two na " she argued." yes and that's because I am responsible " he shrugged.Responsible?" if with time I get to see how mature you are, I'll give you one for your birthday " he added as he pointed his gun at the door.Just then, the worst happened.Mr Modupe walked in, hand in hand with his wife." Jesus! " Debra cried" Daniel! " the tall man in a tailored suit barked." what is going on here? " he asked in con
"Aisha, this is totally ridiculous " I say to her as I used a pen to remove the gum on my laptop." I thought you just agreed to do this with me " she threw her hands in the air in frustration." well because...."take off your suit, we are going shopping " she reminded ." it doesn't even make sense " I laughed." Okay fine, before I take off my suit just to shop' can I at least go and see her before taking a step "She frowned" I'm doing this for you just know that "I nodded in agreement." fine " she nods back.I handed everything to Ella before leaving with Aisha.I drove to the house, Aisha informed me Benita's dad was back and she told me something about a 'gun incident'.I still tried to convince her that one doesn't need to prove one's love with material thi
Mom had been crying since Ben woke up, it was more like tears of joy but Daniel said it was just unnecessary.I was so happy that Ben had finally opened his eyes. He could only smile weakly at us and said just few words.Daniel said if he had the chance he would have taught the doctor a lesson for telling us there was an high chance of memory loss.Williams informed us that he'd have to go back to Abuja since Ben was recovering and Daniel told me he was glad because Williams seemed to be 'bossing' around."but he's the eldest na " I frowned at him but he only pushed me away.I had strangely totally recovered from my strange illness or whatever it was. My mom told me it was because Ben had recovered.She felt sad that all of us would soon go back leaving only she and andrew behind.Three days after Ben's recovery.We were se
"you wouldn't believe it, his birthday is actually tomorrow and he didn't even tell me about it. I called him this morning and yet he didn't say a word about it" It was really annoying.I was trying to let Aisha and Josh know what was going on but they were just being stupid.Aisha was driving to a friend's of Josh and she had asked me to accompany her."Sorry babe, what was it you said again? " she asked." I've said this like a hundred times " I yelled." your friend is really moody " Josh pointed." yeah, she's like this sometimes, she'll be fine .... Josh baby, is it me or your eyes look so dreamy? " she asked." my eyes would get dreamy for you darl', I guess my eyes know I am so much in love with you " Josh quietly answered. Aisha squealed." you people are making love disgusting , I swear " I hit my head.&
Nkechi wasn't over me yet, the last time she and Cora came to my place to beg, I didn't tell Cora but she came again, after that... on her own.She came in a revealing dress this time, of course with her over make up filled face.She came begging me to take her back giving me a hundred reasons why she is better than Cora.I am just a proud motherfucker who can make married women crawl to him!!!I tried my best not to hurt her feelings in anyway because Cora told me I was just so rude to her that day and I remembered I promised I would change, so yeah, I tried my best not to be rude to her.But this girl went too extra, she tried to lure me to bed but she ended up embarrassed because I simply laughed at her fruitless effort.She honestly looked silly acting like a cat making gestures at me to jump in bed with her.She had tak
" that's kind of you, thanks Ifeoma "She started babbling about how great my 'party' would be." Look, I appreciate the fact you're trying to help me but you should know me by now na, I don't hype birthdays, it's just another day of my life, glory be to God " I was really frowning.She still wouldn't let it go and she ended up winning.After the call, I decided to sleep some more.It felt like a second later when my door was pushed opened and Emeka came in with a cake.I checked the time, it was 8am.... So quick?"Happy birthday man! " Emeka smirked as he sat on the bed still holding the cake." ohh God, are you gay or something, why did you buy me a cake na? " it was somehow.Emeka laughed as he carefully removed the cake from its carton, he handed me a card.To my one and only
Just as I was about talking, Emeka showed up."guy, we should be on our way now... Hey Nancy, wassup "Nancy smiled at him." take care Nans " I quickly say, standing up.Emeka reduced the volume of the music and announced " alright, everybody gather together, we have a better place we are heading to.... We're going to a club and believe me, we are gonna rock that club mehn, so I want y'all with cars to pick some people up and drive to 24/7, we are going to celebrate our big man here, Timi "The people cheered on and began getting their things to move.I was just feeling moody, it was probably because I haven't spoken to Benita and... All thanks to my pride which wouldn't let me call her.
Cora'S POV"Happy birthday!" we all screamed.To be very honest, I was actually still feeling angry at Timi but Aisha asked me not to be since she clearly thinks it would be a nightmare, just like her losing Josh would be a nightmare.The look on his face showed anger and confusion.Wait, is he angry because we did this whole birthday thing for him? Who on Earth doesn't like surprise birthday parties?Well, if he chooses to get angry, Aisha should be blamed and not me, it was all her idea of a 'perfect party'."what's going on here? " he asked turning to Emeka." surprise!! " Emeka grinned.
Anu and Rona had long done their convocation.Timi and I were no longer together, he cheated on me.It seemed his play boy nature came crawling back.I thought I could manage, I mean, some years ago, I always told myself that if my boyfriend cheats on me, I wouldn't break up with him but please, it's easier said than done.I focused on school's work, this was my final year, I wouldn't let a man make me mess up in school.I continued my going to club, hanging out with different guys.....dating different guys actually.It was like my old self had come back.Though it wasn't entirely as before when I was always being mean to people, I just resumed being my old social self.Life was better without Timi.-Convocation without Timi.He's just
"Olivia, Jennifer" I called out.We walked into the room, nobody was there, Aisha entered the bathroom."oh my......" She screamed.Debra and I rushed into the bathroom"Jesus""oh my God" .Timi came towards us"what happened?"We didn't need to answer because he could see Olivia on the floor, blood all over."this is what I was talking about. This was what I meant by a dangerous game....... Is she dead?"Aisha cried.Debra bent to feel her pulse and all" I don't know... I c-can't tell" it looked like she was terribly scared.Her expression seemed blank and the last time Debra had a face like this, she awfully cried her eyes out that day , that was like years ago, the last time I saw her cry: the first time her mom disowned her.But I doubted if she would actually
"I didn't expect you'd come" I tell Timi."I'll assume Cora told her boyfriend about today and you people na decided to come and why on Earth would you guys wear an agbada to an orphanage"Aisha sighed.Yeah, they were both on this blue 'agbadas' looking as fresh as ever.Timi explained"no we didn't wear it to go with you guys, we are actually going to a colleague's wedding, we just came to drop some few things""you both look silly" Aisha rolled her eyes. It seems she had her monthly visitor because she was always with the attitude whenever she's on it."what things?" Debra asked Timi. Before he could answer, she walked over to their car, looked in it."A fine big bag, a carton of indomie, some other fine bags and ohh, a bag of rice" She called out.We turned to the guys to give an explanati
"Yeah" I buried myself in his arms."Hey Rona" She smiled at me."Guy, I hope you both had fun?" Timi asked as he placed his hand on Jude's shoulder. His Eternite
"If anything happens, blame it on yourself and besides you said you'd go drop me off?" I asked."yeah, we'll go back to our place now, get dressed and I'll take you to whatever cinema and when you’re done, I'll come with Rona to pick you off and then take you back to hostel" he smiled."you are creepy" I say to him.He and Emeka gave themselves slapping handshakes laughing.We got back to Emeka's place, I went to wear something simple, no need to stress it, I had no intention of impressing Jude.Coming out, Emeka nodded at me in admiration but Timi frowned and asked me to go change the dress."the clothe is okay na, it's a fine dress" Emeka said."yeah, that's the problem, it's too fine and she's a fine girl... You suppose understand guy.... Sweetie, please wear something longer or anything"Chapter 152
" Dude, have you forgotten? I d-don't smoke " Timi instantly say to him."Ohh, true... yeah yeah, I forgot, my bad " his friend quickly answered.I had seen Timi smoke some couple of times.Well, many of my friends did smoke.The girls and I have all tried it several times, my elder brother Daniel once caught us and was really mad at us. He made us wash all the cars in our compound.We decided it wasn't good for us and we vowed never to do it again.I remember the time I saw Timi smoking and I gave him serious warning to stop it.Rona came into the living room, beret on her head."You all are still up? I just came here to get water from the fridge "She got her water and came to sit with us.We all become awkwardly quiet."Wow Timi, you can really make hair " sh
" because shouting is all you need to get sense into that head of yours " she fired." you're sick Deb, you need to see a doctor or something! "" no, you are the mentally deranged person here " she pushed her plate away making it break into pieces." What if Olivia has been right all these while, life isn't all about insults and aggression, can't you just take a chill pill and grow up ..... Besides, I don't even know what I did here "" she took Jude, she took Derrick and she's probably aiming at Timi and when she gets him, if you come crying to me, your own don done " she barked." and don't you ever in your life tell me to grow up because you are the one person that really needs to grow up "" whatever " I waved her off. I didn't like fighting with her but she's being stupid." whatever fire you there! " she gave me her five fingers 'waka'
" it's fine Olivia, I have forgiven you " I tell her.I could see Rona's face lit up at the word 'forgiven'." honestly Olivia, I've also missed you and the way things used to be "" me too and that's the reason I came here, I came to put things in order... You've always had a nice heart right from time and I know it wouldn't be hard for you to welcome me back but you see Aisha... Not even Aisha, Deborah in particular ehn " she laughed" calling her Deborah is even a crime " I joined her laughing." I know right " even Anu and Rona giggled.We were quiet for a while." remember that time your mom gave you custard to school? " she smirked.She didn't even need to say much, I almost fell down laughing." what happened to your custard? " Rona asked unamused.<
" oga chill, don't transfer aggression on me, we all know you are pained because Benita dumped you for Timi.... You sef, it's because you are not trying hard for her " she munched." please and please, it would be nice if you'll shut up"no honestly, it's obvious you still love her and as you're seeing me, I'm badly in love with Timi " she smirked" what exactly is your problem, look at you pregnant but still talking about loving another guy... Are you like psycho or something? " I yelled" so falling in love makes one psycho? Check again! " she still smirkedI stood up to leave "I'll leave you to your issues, I just came to check on you, bye."Wait " she called outFrowning I turned to look back, she was on her feet alread" I can help you " she said softly" why would I need your help?" I can help you get C
