Jezebel - Season 1 - Episode 19

We didn’t wait long before we saw a bike without passenger.

I waved him down and negotiated with him on the price to church inside the campus .
I allowed Precious to sit before me because I wanted to make a quick stop at the engineer’s place.
On getting to the engineer’s place, I met him outside discussing with a guy.
” I’m coming ” I said to Precious as I alighted the bike.
” chairmo, oga agbalagba ” the engineer suddenly started to hail me as soon as he saw me getting off the bike.

I turned to look at my back to check if anyone was behind me but there was no one which meant he was referring to me .
” maybe he hasn’t done my phone ” I thought to myself as I moved closer to him.
” Smallie ” he called when I got to where he was standing.
” Sir!!! ” Smallie answered from inside the shop.

” bami mu hot 6 yen wa ” he ordered Smallie to bring my phone in Yoruba language.
” okay Sir ” Smallie replied.
” chairmo ” he said moving closer to me.
” yan me na, how you dey take do am ” he whispered to me in pidgin language.
” do what ” I asked him looking perplexed.
” all this fine girls wey you dey carry na ” he whispered to me stealing a glance at Precious.
” you no dey do ugly or fine small girl at all , yesterday, na mami water you bring, today again, you don carry another mami water, show me the way na, I don tire for Kafayat and Sikirat wey I dey carry upandan ” he whispered to me still stealing a glance at Precious.

” oga na the phone be this ” Smallie said handing the phone to the engineer.
I collected it from him, inserted my sims and memory card into it and powered it.
It looked new and displayed more brighter than the latter.
I tested the calibration and it was working perfectly.
” it’s working perfectly, thank you ” I appreciated him after I’ve fully tested the phone’s function.
” forget thank you, just show me the way, me self wan dey carry high class babe ” he said looking like he meant it.
” you’re funny ” I said smiling.
” she’s not ” I wanted to tell him that Precious wasn’t my girlfriend but suddenly find no need to to tell it.

” try to be cool like me and high class babe will follow you ” I said changing what I was going to say.
” and stop using all the money you make to play bet9ja ” I added smiling as I joined Precious on the bike.
I knew the engineer has changed the topic he was discussing with the guy I met him with to mine with the way the guy was staring at me as the bike man continued with our journey.
” what was that guy telling you about me ” Precious asked me as the bike left the engineer’s place .

” why do you think he’s talking about you ” I asked her.
” I’m a pretty lady, and we pretty ladies have supernatural power to know if guys are talking about us wherever we find ourselves, even without looking ” she replied smiling.
” be deceiving yourself ” I said laughing.
” I knew he was talking about me, hundred percent sure ” she replied smiling.
” if you say so ” I said laughing.
We’re late to get to church as the service had already started.
Precious sat beside me on one of the vacant chairs at the back.

Brother Collins was the one conducting the bible study.

Precious suddenly cover her mouth in order to suppress the laughter that was about to erupt out of it.
” what’s it ” I asked her and she pointed towards a direction, I traced the direction she pointed at with my eye and find Samuel sitting gently beside sister Chioma.
I couldn’t help it but laugh also.
I’ve tried many times to get the fool to start attending my church but he made sure all my effort at doing so was futile that I had already given up on it.

But the fool is attending two services in a roll all because of a girl.
