I gasped as I opened my eye, all I could see was white background until I moved my head and find out I had been staring at the roof.
Surprisingly, I was still inside the sitting room.
I was on the three sitter and was covered with Samuel’s blanket.

I sat up from the chair and find the girl on one of the chairs opposite to me.

She was also sleeping, with her back rested on the chair.

The memories of what happened before I blacked out suddenly started returning to me.
I swiftly stretched my hands forward and started tracing through my veins to see if I was injected. And it was positive, on my left hand, I saw the injection bruise on it.
My heart started beating fast as I felt like I was in some sort of danger with whatever it was she injected into my body system.
My gaze suddenly went to the table that was creating a boundary between the two of us and on it was the bottle I had seen her insert the syringe into and draw its content. Beside it was the needle and syringe she had used in injecting me.

The small bottle was like the normal injection bottles but I wasn’t ready to believe anything I was seeing.

I took the bottle and read the name of the injection. It was fentanyl.

I stood up and got my laptop and hotspot.
I switched my laptop on and connected it to the hotspot as I made a swift visit to Google site.

I inserted the word ” Fentanyl ” and clicked on search.

Google reported that it was a pain reliever, one of the highest ranked pain relievers in US and bla bla bla.
” you’re awake ” I suddenly heard someone said. My heart skipped a beat as I swiftly brought down the monitor of the laptop.
” yeah ” I replied placing my hand on my cheek. That was when I felt the plaster she had placed on the bruise I procured on my cheek.

” how are you feeling ” she asked me getting up, coming over to my side.
” I think I’m okay ” I replied not feeling comfortable.

” did you sedate me before ” I asked as she sat beside me.
” yeah, so that you can get some rest and so that I could administer the pain reliever I had with me to you, it’s more effective than all the pain relievers inside your first aid kit ” she replied me as she took the Fentanyl bottle from the table and put it inside her bag.
” alright, but something was wierd earlier before I slept off ” I said with a curiosity reeked tone.
” that’s the effect of Slitacon, I wouldn’t have given it to you but it’s the only sedative inside the kit ” she replied me.
” it causes hallucinations before it finally kick its user into deep sleep ” she added like someone who’s had a lot of experience on drugs.

” I see ” I said realizing why I was seeing wierd things before I slept off. I heaved a sigh of relief after knowing I was safe.
” but how did you know a lot abouabout drugs ” I asked her staring at her.
” I’m studying pharmacy in Unilag, third year and momma is a matron in Luth , so it’s only normal for me to know more about drugs ” she replied smiling.
” yeah, you’re right but how long was I gone ” I asked her so that I could deduce the time my friends are going to be back. I didn’t want them to meet her with me especially if Precious was gonna be with them.
” like one hour and half ” she replied.
” I wasn’t gone for long ” I murmured loudly.

” but what’s your name, seems I heard it wrong earlier ” I said to her remembering what she had called herself before I blackout.
” I’m Jezebel ” she replied shocking me again .

” Jezebel ” I repeated after her with a surprised countenance.
” you looked surprised ” she said smiling.
” you’re not the first so I’ve gotten use to that surprised stare ” she added still smiling.

” it’s a strange name, you’re the first person I’ve met bearing such name ” I replied her not hiding how I really felt about the name.
” which kind of parents will even name their kid such name ” it’s already gotten out of my mouth before I deduced the weight of the words.
” no offense meant ” I swiftly added.
” a white man who claimed to love the character in bible ” she answered, not showing that she’s furious with what I said.
” white man? ” I asked looking surprised.
” yeah, I’m of bi-citizenship, dad’s a citizen of America while mom is a Nigerian ” she replied me.

” wow, that explained where the beauty came from ” I said smiling
” thank you ” she replied also smiling.
” you’re welcome ” I replied still smiling like a fool.

” but don’t you think you need to change the name ” I said to her after I’ve gotten hold of myself.
” it’s kinda weird you know, or your dad had already ordered you not to change it ” I asked her.

” no he didn’t but I like the name, i love that wierd look people give me whenever I tell them my name and my mom ain’t complaining about it because she’s a Muslim ” she explicated not losing the smile that hung tightly to her face which made her look more gorgeous.

” I’m short of words now ” I said giving up on making her see the reason why she needed to change the name.

” but it’s funny that you’re here studying in Nigeria you know ” I said staring at her with a kinda smile I didn’t know I had.
