Me: (smiling) yes, I hope you are doing great?
Motunrayo: (smiling) yes, now that I know that we are seeing tomorrow. I wouldn’t have been much better.
Me: (feigning happiness) me too. I can’t wait to see you tomorrow. I love you Motunrayo.
Motunrayo: (giggles) It’s been long you told me that. I love you too.
Me: (smiling) I’m sorry about that. I would try to say it more often if you want.
Motunrayo: that’s not what I meant but I wouldn’t mind if you say it more often.
She ended the call still insisting on coming tomorrow. I wished her to come over tomorrow but this issue of a party with kikelomo and Chidinma has now had my mind divided. I went to my room and laid my head on the bed. If I don’t allow Motunrayo to come tomorrow; she would be very angry with me. I don’t know what to do. I was still thinking what to do when Sarah called me. I picked.
Me: good evening Sarah
Sarah: (happy voice) it’s really a good evening. I have just collected a cheque of millions of naira to supply furniture to some government schools in Kano and Kaduna state. I’m very happy (screamed)
Me: (shouted) that’s the best news I have heard all day. I’m very happy for you. What about Adedoyin?
Sarah: (happy voice) she’s here with me. She wants to talk with you.
Me: please give her the phone.
Adedoyin: (smiling and shouting) we nailed the contract Femi, we are still hoping to nail some other ones too. Hopefully this week, we will roundup with all the proposal. Just keep praying for us.
Me: I will not stop praying my dear. I’m happy for you guys. May God let your friendship be forever.
Adedoyin: Amen oooo. We are going to celebrate it now. It’s just a pity that you are not here with us right now.
Me: me too. I really miss you guys.
I ended the call really missing them but there’s nothing I can do. I’m now back to reality and not fantasy. I have to make do with what I have. It’s either I go with Chidinma to Kikelomo’s party or wait behind for Motunrayo. I was seriously thinking of what I’m going to do, when Kikelomo’s call rang on my phone. I picked.
Me: (smiling) hello Kikelomo, I hope you are doing fine?
Kikelomo: yes Femi but not the way I ought to be and you know why
Me: is it because of the party invite?
Kikelomo: yes, you ought to have turned down the offer politely. Chidinma felt really bad about the whole issue. I just spoke with her on the phone and she’s not happy at all.
Me: it’s not that I don’t want to come with her to the party but I have an appointment tomorrow. If it’s another day, I would have come along and you know that.
Kikelomo: what appointment do you have tomorrow? Is it not your lesson time that she’s asking for? The party starts 11am.
Me: (confused state) I don’t know what to do now? Let me call Chidinma and explain to her. I hope she will understand.
Kikelomo: what do you want to explain to her that you can’t explain to me? Just come to the party.
I ended the call promising to feed her back. I dialled Chidinma’s number and She picked.
Chidinma: hello Femi.
Me: (low voice) it seems that you are not happy with me?
Chidinma: I don’t pretend that all is well when it’s not; but I will be fine.
Me: I’m sorry if I made you sad but there are some things that you can’t do anything about it.
Chidinma: okay ooo. So where are you going tomorrow?
Me: (stammers) to… to…. don’t worry about where I am going. I just want to tell you that I’m sorry.
Chidinma: (sad voice) okay. I thought I knew a lot about you; but I can now see that I was wrong. It’s your choice not mine. It just that I don’t know how to hide my feelings about somethings. I’m not really happy about the whole issue. You make me look cheap by begging you to come along for a party.
Me: (low voice) you don’t have to feel that way, I’m so sorry. I wished to come along but (cuts me off)
118
Chidinma: (sober mood) don’t make it bad than it already has. I have to go.
She ended the call before I could say anything. I knew that she’s almost in tears; so I decided not to call her back. My elated spirit dropped as I thought how she would be feeling right now. I laid my head on the bed; lost in thought. I have tried all my best to make her see reasons but to no avail. I’m hating myself for making her feel bad. I picked my phone and I dialled Motunrayo’s number and she picked.
Motunrayo: (happy voice) hello my love. I was about to call you when your call entered.
Me: (sounding low) really, that means our mind has now synchronised together. How lovely.
Motunrayo: what’s it Femi? You don’t sound happy and I know what is bothering you.
Me: (laughing hysterically) I’m fine and what do you think that’s bothering me?
Motunrayo: it’s good to know that you are fine. I know that anytime you are on the phone with this moody tone; I know what it means; you are terminating our appointment.
Me: (smiling) that’s what I like about you; you are very observant. To be frank with you, I really want to see you, but I have important errands to run for my parents after my lessons tomorrow.
Motunrayo: (sad mood) I had to cancel all my appointment to be with you tomorrow but I (cuts her off)
Me: I know but I just have to go tomorrow. My lessons ends 3pm and I can’t really meet up with the appointment. I’m sorry.
She ended the call feeling unhappy about everything. I felt bad for her but a little bit relieved because of kikelomo and Chidinma. I dialled Chidinma’s number and She picked almost immediately.
Chidinma: hello Femi
Me: hi Chichi, I have postponed my appointment till Thursday and I’m going to the party with you tomorrow but only on one condition.
Chidinma: (happy voice) what condition Femi?
Me: that there will be no lesson on Thursday.
Chidinma: (smiling) you are talking as if I don’t allow you to do as you want
Me: (smiling) okay ooo… I’m trying to make it official now
She accepted my condition and seems very happy about the turnaround. She ended the call telling me how happy she was about me coming with her to the party.
I yawned and I checked the time. It’s almost 9pm. I’m not feeling hungry. I connected a call to Adedoyin and then Sarah, congratulating them about the contract. They were very happy to talk with me. I ended my calls with all my love ones with heavy eyes, I slept off.
I woke up around 8am on Tuesday morning. I rushed to the bathroom; singing aloud as I brushed my teeth and took my bath. I went straight to my room and started thinking of what I’m going to put on to the party. I scanned through my wardrobe and I saw the shirt Bidemi bought for me some weeks back. I puts it on but later removed it when I remembered what Bidemi might do when she gets to know that I used the clothe she bought for me to attend a friends party without informing her.
I hissed as I removed the clothe from the neck. I put on another shirt and a jean. I stood in front of the glass and I smiled (perfect). I was busy admiring myself when my phone rang. It’s from Chidinma. It’s almost 10am already. I didn’t pick but rushed down to Badoo’s room to apply the perfume: he said he bought for 10k. I’m now set and I walked to the living room to meet my date in the parlour.
I entered the living room, and as expected I saw Chidinma seated on one of the sofa. She wore a beautiful pink gown that got my face to make a smiley (happy) face. I knew her skirt would be above her knee because of the exposed part of her laps: which made me to instantly have an erectionn. I managed to cover up and compliments her beauty.
To Be Continued…
How did today go?
