Jezebel - Season 1 - Episode 11

Epi 5

Just then, the three fools exited the room and returned to the sitting room.
” how’re you doing dearie ” Samuel asked with diction tone. A tone he always use whenever he’s about flirting with a girl.
” I’m doing fine handsome ” she replied and I kinda felt down on hearing it.
” was she also flirting back ” I asked myself giving Samuel a deadly look and secretly showed him five fingers
The three of them bursted into laughter on seeing me while Jezebel looked confused to what could have caused the laughter
” do you guys care for some porridge ” she asked them when she couldn’t seem to phantom why they’re laughing.
” did he cooked it ” Usman asked pointing at me.
” if he did, we’re not eating ” Lekan chipped in.

” last time he did, we almost defecated our intestines ” the last fool said and Jezebel bursted into laughter.

” it was over feeding that caused the diarrhea not the porridge ” I said in my defense.
” you guys are funny ” Jezebel said still laughing.

” well, I cooked it but I think it should be better because I followed the preparation instructions and tutorial keenly ” she added getting up and head to the kitchen.
” but will it be enough for all of us, I thought you said you fixed it for me only ” I asked Jezebel.

” I slightly cooked much, so it should be enough ” she replied before she exited the sitting room.
” the food should be very delicious just as the girl ” Samuel said sticking his tongue out.
” who heard it when she said she followed instructions to cook it ” Usman said and we all bursted into laughter.
” she followed instructions so as to make it more delicious ” Lekan said smiling.
” you bad oo, I no know say you be bad boy like this, na big fish you they kill ooo” Samuel said with an irritating laughter.
” see as the girl set die ” Samuel added not losing the irritating laughter.
” and later he will be doing holy holy, it’s alright sha ” Usman added with a hiss.
” food is coming ” we heard from the direction of the kitchen.

She had served it all and placed them on tray.

The porridge looked really nice and its aroma was something to write home about.

As she placed it on the table, the three idiots struggled to take the most plenty out of it.
I had to keep my cool and decided not to join in the battle because of Jezebel as I waited for them to satisfy their long throat.

I took the last one inside the dish and left the smallest one inside a soup bowl.

I knew she had taken that for herself..

On taking the first spoon into my mouth, I paused at once as I fought the urge not to cry.

I glance around to see if I was the only one in such dilemma. I wasn’t the only one as the three idiots had also stopped on their first bite.

We all exchanged glance as we paused on chewing the porridge.

It was the most pepperish food I’ve ever eaten.
” how is it ” she asked on noticing our reactions.

” it’s delicious, I love it ” I replied using more strength to push back the tears that has clustered to my iris and let out a fake smile as I continued eating it.

” this is great ” Samuel said almost with a teary voice as they all continued eating.
I could feel my tongue burning at each drop of the porridge on it, my eye was was watery as I had lost the battle in pushing the tears back.
The food was getting more plenty in my plate the more I took from it. It got to a stage I couldn’t feel my tongue again.

I peeped at the three idiots and saw tears streaming down Lekan’s already red eyeball as they continued eating it.
” are you crying ” Jezebel suddenly asked noticing Lekan’s face.
” it’s the tears of joy dear , I’ve never tasted something as wonderful as this ever in my life before ” Lekan answered as more tears strolled down his face.

Usman stood up after he’s finished eating and hurriedly head to the fridge to get water. I knew we had only two bottled water inside it.
I had plan to buy a pack after lecture that day when returning home but what happened disrupted my plan.

I saw Lekan rushed the remnant in his plate as he joined Usman who had already finished a bottle and was about opening the second one in the fridge .

Samuel didn’t bother to finish his meal as he dash to meet Lekan so that they could share the one he had collected from Usman .
I stared at them with a pitiable eye as I plead with them with my eye not to finish the water.
I was sweating profusely as I forced myself to continue eating the food.

” how’s my cooking ” she asked me dropping the small plate of porridge she had took for herself.

She almost didn’t touch it.
” it’s very good ” I answered with a fake smile.

” you really need to eat more, the drug’s effect is gonna make you famished ” she said as she empty the porridge inside her plate into mine.

The three idiots suddenly bursted into laughter but kept it short as Jezebel looked at their side.

” I think I’m okay ” I said dropping the food.
” he’s not okay oo ”
” he’s shy because of you”
” he eat alot, maybe you should feed him ” the three idiots all took turns to add their salt to my injury before they all went outside.
” are you really shy because of me ” she asked me staring into my eye.
” no, I’m not, I’m a light eater, don’t mind those idiots ” I replied her.
” thank you for today, for the care, cash and all ” I said changing the conversation.
” you’re welcome and I’m also sorry ” she replied.

” haba, you don’t need to be and you’ve even bought redemption with all you did today ” I said to her.

” I should get going now but do you know that you didn’t tell me your name ” she said getting up.
” it’s Benjamin but you can call me Ben ” I replied her also getting up.
” give me your digit ” she said giving me her phone.

I collected it from her and inserted my number into it.

” I’ll give you a call later, maybe in the night wgwj you’ve collected your phone ” she said after she saved the number.
” let me change so that I can see you off ” I said to her as I head into my room and changed the jean trouser I was wearing and wore a T-shirt.

We met the three idiots sitting on a bench outside with their tops in their hands as they used it in fanning themselves.
” are you already going ” Samuel asked as we got to where they’re sitting down.
” yeah ” she replied waving at him.
” so soon ” Lekan asked
” thought you’re spending the evening here and prepare dinner for us” he added smiling and I felt like strangling him to death.
” ugh , maybe the next time I come here again ” Jezebel replied.

” I won’t even be around that next ” Samuel said humorously.
” and thanks guys for enjoying the meal, it was my first cooking that kinda strenuous meal ” she said and the three idiots all exchanged glance with each other before they let out a wierd smile without a reply.
” bye ” Jezebel bid them bye before I escorted her outside where she took a bike.
On getting back inside, the three idiots were not outside again, I knew they’ve returned into our apartment.

My tongue was still on fire and I knew I won’t be able to get water in the neighborhood.

I went to one of my neighbor’s flat and requested water from them and I got it.
On returning to my room, I met Usman holding my laptop and in Samuel’s hand was my flash drive.

In Lekan’s hand was my food which I didn’t finish. And Samuel’s own has been added to it.

” it’s either you walk down here gently and allow Lekan to feed you or we destroy your laptop and hard drive alongside the informations you have on it ” Usman threatened as he raised my laptop up.

” just kill me rather than ask me to continue eating that food ” I said to them as I took my seat on the three sitter.

” and die you shall die ” they all said in unison as they dropped what was in their hands on the table and pounced on me.
