Jezebel - Season 1 - Episode 8

She look pitiable with her remorseful look and that hit my soft spot.

” okay ” I said after some seconds, pretending to be thinking about it.
She boarded the bike before I did and I had to sit behind her.

The ordeal I went through was enough to get my mood down so I had no hard time sitting behind her like yesterday with Precious.
” I’m getting down here ” I said to the bike man when we got to the last intersection into my street.

There was a mobile engineer there and I wanted to give my phone to him so that he will help me repair it.
” is this your place ” she asked when I got down from the bike, looking surprised as there was no house there except shops.
” no, I want to repair my phone ” I replied her showing her what she had made to happen to my phone.

I went in to meet the engineer to give him my phone.

I looked outside and saw her still waiting beside the bike man.
” oga, I wan repair my phone screen and calibration ” I said to the engineer who was sitting behind a desk with different kind of phone scrabs and a HP laptop with tools on the desk.

” where e dey ” he asked me.
” here it is ” I said handling him the phone.
He pressed the switch key to light it up.
” omo, shey na trailer jam you and the phone ” he asked humorously staring at me.
” no ooo, na train jam us ” I replied him and he smiled.

” pele oo, but your money na seven k ” he replied shutting the screen off.
” okay ” I said dipping my hand into my back pocket to get my wallet.
” here ” I said giving him the last three thousand naira inside my wallet.
I only have four hundred and fifty naira remaining inside the wallet.
” I’ll bring the remaining four k when I want to come and collect it ” I said to him as I gave him the money.
” come with the balance in the evening and your phone would have been ready ” he said with a grin.

” here ” I heard behind me .
I turned to look at who it was and found out that it was the girl.

” here’s the remaining four thousand naira ” she said as she gave the engineer some cash.

” when did you get here ” I asked staring at her with a surprised countenance.
” you’re welcome ” she said exiting the shop.

” omo, na mami water you dey date oo, see as the girl set die, I fit sell my shop to sample her ” the engineer said humorously as he stared the girl.

” I’ll be back for it in the evening, make sure you’ve gotten it working fine ” I said to him before exiting his shop.
” what’s your name ” he screamed after me.

” Ben ” I replied without turning around.

The girl and the bike man were still waiting outside.
” thank you ” I said grudgingly when I got to where she was standing.
” if you’re appreciative, then let go to your house, I want to make sure you get in safely ” she said staring with a kinda eye that melt my heart .
” why are you doing this ” I asked moving closer to her.
” do I look pitiable to you or because I followed you thought I’m a fool ” I added before she could answer the first one.
I felt like a fool, regretting what I did but the deed is been locked, all regret means nothing.
” just wanna make it up to you, tho you’re kinda at fault but my act could have led to you losing your life ” she said remorsefully.
Without saying anything, I hop the bike and she sat behind me.

” it’s okay like this ” I said when we got to the front of my building.

The bike stopped and we both alight. She dipped her hand into her back pocket but find no money inside it.

She took her bag and searched through it, brought out three thousand naira and gave it to the bike man who turned his bike happily and rode out of sight.

I opened the gate and entered and she followed me.

I’m not the type to allow a girl with me inside when my friends aren’t around. Precious especially, I don’t want to be a victim of temptation and I knew if anything was to happen, she would give in easily because of the feelings she has for me, but allowing this strange girl to follow me inside when I was sure my friends won’t be around was something I couldn’t fathom at that moment.

After few minutes, we’re inside my room.
I felt like killing all my friends when we got inside, everywhere was untidy , cans of soft drink lay carelessly on the rug, their clothes marked outta the attendance on the chairs.
” this goats ” I clamor as I got inside.
” is this your place ” she asked as she got inside.
” yeah, this is where I stay with my friends, and all this are their handwork ” I said as I tried to tidy the place up.

” nice place you got, I thought you’re a student, look like I was wrong ” she said as she joined me in tidying everywhere.
” you didn’t get it wrong, I’m also a student of Unilag, just lucky to have parents who could afford this place ” I replied her.
I borrowed her phone to call Lekan and informed him that I won’t be able to attend the next lecture because something came up.

I knew he will be worried if I’m absent because such has never happened before.

After we’re through with tidying, she took the broom and swept the sitting room.

I couldn’t help but steal glances at her as she did this.

She look extravagant to be doing such. And judging from how she’s been spending, she ain’t from the low class family.

She looked like a princess of a big kingdom. And to crown it all, she looked extra ordinarily beautiful, maybe that’s why I got attached to her in the first place.

Without deceiving myself, I knew I was fallen or had fallen for her.
” do you have first aid kit ” she asked me after she’s through with tidying up the room.
” first aid kit ” I exclaimed stupidly.
” yeah, you’ve to clean your wounds so that it won’t get infected ” she said clearing my foolish curiosity.
” ohh, got one ” I said as I head to the store to get the first aid kit.

It was like she’s been through such experience or had better knowledge about the first aid as she treated me with the contents of the first aid kit.

The first aid kit was gotten for me by mom and she made sure to fill it to brim.

After she’s through with the administration of the drugs, I suddenly felt sleepy.
” what is happening ” I asked her as I felt like I was been sedated.
” you’re gonna have a good rest ” she said laughing wickedly.

I was weak to do anything and I saw as she brought out a syringe from Inside the first aid kit, took a small bottle from her bag, dipped the syringe into it and extracted the content inside the bottle.

My Mind was motioning to me to run away but my body wasn’t heeding to the order as I felt helplessly weak.
” what’s your name ” I asked her as my eye fought to shut itself.
” Jezebel ” she replied with an hysterical laughter before I finally black out.
