It was the shock of the moment, as Chuks never looked the part. Tade did not know about it until a fair-skinned babe came asking after him.

“Please is this Chukwuma Onye’s room?” She asked with a precise, faked British accent. Probably she was trying to learn how to speak with such accent. Tade sized her up, wondering what lady will come to a guy’s room and no greet before asking questions. She even had the audacity to raise her nose at him before asking that question.

“Will you answer me!” The lady said aggressively. Tade obviously pissed off, slammed the door at her, leaving the poor girl sobbing and calling Chuks.

“Na wa o! Korede, Tade’s current roommate said. So na so your friend go come get girlfriend before you. You sabi say him score na 2-1 wey you still dey play 2-0.” Korede was a tall, fair skinned dude, who despite his humble background was tastefully polished in school, courtesy of his girlfriend who is a wealthy half-caste running a beauty spa in Victoria Gardens in Lagos.

Wetin concern you? Tade answered, obviously unimpressed with the angle that he was bringing to the convo. Made had just ‘acquired’ a girlfriend too, and that one had no discretion in his behavior about it.

The two guys continued arguing about the issue until Chuks suddenly showed up, carrying some papers with him.

As soon as Korede saw Chuks, he looked up and shouted.

“Omo Aye! Omo agba! The coded one!” Korede said, jumping up and waving his hands in the air, shocking both Tade and Chukwuma. Tade looked at his roommate, stupefied at the incredible change of mood and ‘agberoism’ that Korede showed at the moment. Chuks was confused at the sudden ‘hailing’ by Korede.

“No come form for me, your babe don come check you. If you see as the babe dey cry as she no se you ehn, you go sabi say na true love.” Korede continued. Tade just managed to suppress a laugh.

“Can you tell me what is happening?” Chuks said, looking at both lads with a blank face.

“Some girl came asking after you. Tade started, seeing that Korede had quietened up. She was rude so I just slammed the door to her face, then she started crying……..”

“Saying how she can’t do without you, how your ‘thing’ sweet die, how you used to rub her……”

“Korede!!!” Chuks and Tade said together. “Stop lying for Africa abeg. Tade added. She just cried abeg.”

“How does she look like?”
“She was a bit tall and fair with…….”
“Medium sized bo!obs and a good fleshy a-s. Korede jumped in again. You know I saw her.” He told a shocked Tade.

“Wetin concern you?” Tade asked him.
“How fair was she? Was she fair like albino or white or just fair?”

“She was very fair, in fact she was white. white as the sun…..”

“The sun is yellow not white, Korede. Even I know that.”

“Tade don’t interrupt me abeg. She was fair like the day……” Tade shook his head at the strange similes coming from his roomie’s mouth

“and terrible as the dawn.” Chuks interrupted, stunning both of them.
“She is not to be touched or followed. And she is not my girlfriend!”

“Iffahear!”
“She came to submit an assignment and if you have not been so rude Tade, she would have…….”

“Submit her assignment in your room!” Both Tade and Korede echoed. You be class rep? “How she sabi here sef?”

“None of your concern and yes, am a class representative!” Chuks said. “Now if you don’t mind, I need some time to think. These assignments have waited for too long here. Toke must have been worried.”

“So if she is not your girlfriend, I fit scope am be that?” Korede asked.

]”She has a boyfriend.” Chuks said, causing a free face fall for Korede.

“But I can try my……”
“Guy, she get boyfriend, you get girlfriend, why you wan dey chase am? Tade asked him. Toyin never do you?”

“Please, Tade let me be! This one wey you bring Toyin matter come here, I dey wonder if she dey pay you make you dey form ‘monitoring spirit’ on top of my matter.”

“Its not even possible sef for you to date Toke. Chuks cut in. She is dating Nightcrawler.”

At the mention of the name, Tade’s skin tingled. Korede was defiant.

“That one no concern me, if she likes make she dey date Daybreaker, I no send…”
“Better send! Tade interfered. I don hear of am for department. He is the current capone of the Ravens, and he is second to the overlord of the Ravens.”

“So make I dey fear abi? Abeg I go see as I go handle am, my own be say I go chop my own comot from am.”

“Korede!!” Tade and Chuks shouted. “When will you control your d*ck? That thing will kill you one day!” Tade added.
“E she! Let it kill me, but the ladies love it, especially Toyin.”

“Hmn, Toke is different from your regular babe. She is very saucy and vengeful. I have seen what she does to guys that use her.” Chuks said. “Then Nightcrawler is a very jealous guy and he has spies everywhere watching what happens to her, who talks to her, e.t.c . Its suicidal to date such a girl, especially for a person like you that has no cover.”

“See, all that one no concern me, what concerns me is to enter the place. I just imagine how fresh her toto go look. Like make I …..”

“Korede!!!”
“What?! Na babe she be, she no be beast, abi she be mammy-water?”
“Korede, your thirst for women is unsatisable! I don remove my hand for your matter!” Tade said.
