Epi 13

He should atleast be happy I didn’t come
home with C, D, E or F9.

“Kate! Stop this!” Mom said
“Mommy.. You.. Don’t.. Know.. How.. Bad I
feel.. Right now” I stuttered
She hugged me
“I.. Tried.. My best” I said shakily
I knew his attitude was related to what
happened at my previous school.
Would he ever find it in his heart to forgive
me?

I just wish he could forget it and we can
get back to our father and daughter drama.
“I’ll talk to him” Mom said as she drew
away from me.
“Go and change.. I’ll tell Pat to prepare
dinner” she said

I nodded and walked to my room.
I pray dad gives mom the chance to explain
the truth to him.

Jeffrey’s POV
I hang my jacket back in it place before
moving to the counter to attend to the
customer waiting there. I saw Aunty Joke
helping an Old lady pick out her items. I
calculated the goods and gave out change
to the girl at the counter. I noticed she kept
staring at me. I didn’t like the fact that she
was staring. And i wasn’t on a good mood
to flirt with a girl.
“Your change Miss” I repeated
“You’re handsome” she said as she bit the
tip of her finger.

“Thanks” I packed her goods into a nylon.
She flicked back her hair that was long, it
covered her cleavages but now it was
revealing. She was wearing an off
shouldered top. I looked away and smiled.
She was a flirt!
The hair was a wig, I could tell by the
closure on the hair. And I don’t like girls
making the first move on guys.
She leaned on the counter.
“I’m Cynthia” she said
I didn’t respond
I focused on packing her items so she could
leave.

“So do you workhere?”
“Yes” I said
It’s polite to respond to a customer.
“I haven’t seen you..”
“I don’t move around” I said
“You haven’t told me your name?” She said
“Solomon” I lied
I dropped the last item into the nylon.
“Can I have your contact?”
“Sorry I don’t have a cellphone”
Gbam! Another lie!
Cynthia raised her eyebrow.

“Or you don’t want me to have it?”
“All of the above” I dropped my keys into
the drawer.
“Well, if you don’t mind can we hang out
one of these days? I’ll be around for a
while” she said seductively.
“I have a girlfriend” I said boldly
That was another lie! I don’t have a
girlfriend!

Cynthia seemed shocked by my response!
She straightened up!
“Oh! You have a girlfriend.. I should have
expected it” sue said picking her nylon.
“Yes I do have a girlfriend. A beautiful one
and she’s the prettiest at our school”
What?!

Why did I say that?!
Kate was the prettiest at EHS but she
wasn’t my girlfriend.
Get that into your brain!

“Okay..” Cynthia walked away
Aunty Joke came with the old lady.
“Ehn where did you go?” She asked
“Ah.. Ah.. Actually I left..” I paused
My book at school? Hell no!
“Did you go after Kate?” She asked
I didn’t respond.

I can’t lie to Aunty Joke. She was the close
friend I have after mom’s death.
“Why did you follow her? And where? To
her house?”

“Aunty is not what you are thinking”
“Tell me what am not thinking”
I couldn’t say anything. I didn’t know how
to explain things to her. This strange
feelings i get each time I see Kate.. And the
feeling whenever I see her with other guys
at school.
“Is Kate a stammerer?” She asked
“No but she’s very shy”
“Are you sure? I noticed she started
stammering the moment you joined our
conversation”
“She was shocked to see me”
“That reminds me.. She said you don’t talk
to anyone at school”

“Yes”
“Why?”
“Nothing”
“Okay.. Tell me why you followed Kate”
“Can I ask you for something?”
“Sure”
“And you’ll do it for me”
“If it’s within my power”
“I’ve heard everything you and big mummy
said, so I’ve decided to change”
But not completely.

I will behave like a good boy because I
need her help.

“I will apologize to my parents but I still
need your help”
“What do you want?”she asked
“I will sleep at home tonight but can I stay
at your home till monday morning . I really
moss Deji and Semilore”
They are Aunty Joke’s children.
“I promised to visit them this break”
“Ah! That’s true! Semilore asked me to
remind you”

“So will you let me?” I said with a half
smile

“I’ll talk to your dad about it”
“Okay.. But you’ll also let me rest from
store work for a few days”
“Ah! So only me will come to shop?”she
asked

“No! I won’t allow it. I thought coming to
my place will make things easier for us. So
you and I can come to shop together”
I can’t disgaree or else she won’t let Me
stay at her place.

“Okay.. I’ll follow you”
An excellent plan popped up in my head. I
just need a Yes!

“When you get home pack your bag. I’ll call
your dad and ask for his permission”
She paused
And continued
“There is no need to come with your bike if
he agrees. I’m even coming to your house,
my sister said I should go and apologize to
Lola on your behalf”
Sounds Good!

Plans going to work!
Longer Episode for you all!
