Val's Diary Series (Life As An Adult) - Season 1 - Episode 3

☆☆☆

Two hours later, Frank and I took a little walk down the street, finally settling down in a small open bar where we discussed more freely.

“so what’s your plan?. Do you plan settling here in Enugu with your family and everything?” he asked seriously. I gave him a long look before smiling.

“actually i don’t know bro. Staying at home will definitely cage me a lot. I think i will settle down in another city, probably Owerri or Abuja, hopefully get a good government job and get married to Adaora” i answered quietly.

“so what if you don’t get a government job, what then??. I thought your dad left you a lot of things?” he asked.
“yea sure he left me some properties but he never left me a business that needed running everyday. I need to be doing something productive with my life. I can’t be idle” i answered while he scoffed.
“so you need a job just to keep yourself busy while i need a job to survive. Hmmm” he breathed. I slowly shrugged in defence.
“c’mon i need the money as well . A dollar can change anybody’s life including mine. Don’t you know without a job and a bad lifestyle i could end up squandering the money you feel i have within a year. One cent is precious to me including one naira” i said humorously. He busted into laughter.
“madam Tessy told me she will be coming to Owerri before the end of next week. She equally promised to fix me up with something when she shows up. According to her exacts words, i will help you like a friend, just stick around until i get to Owerri, but you also got to help me with Val. I shoudn’t be telling you this but that your friend is a nut-case” he said to me, mimicking her tone. I laughed out loud.

“this isn’t a laughing matter. I think she’s actually going to do a lot more for me this time around. But I just don’t understand the kind of feelings she has for you that makes her notice nobody else but you. It’s not as if you are more handsome than me” he said seriously, sipping his drink.

“really i do feel scared whenever i think about my relationship with her. She acts as if there is more into it than just love. I’m not superstitious but sometimes i have no choice than to think that she needs me for some spiritual stuff. A woman doesn’t love the way she does” i expressed seriously.
“yea you are right but you still got to figure out a way to make her Love me or do whatever she wants so she can help me. You know she can do a lot more for me if only you play your cards well. You got to help me unless you are willing to feed and accommodate me till the time i finally get another job” frank said with a serious smile.
“anyway i have something to confess. The main issue that made me travel all the way from home to visit you is that your Tessy equally promised me a hundred thousand Naira if i could get you to reconsider your decision and feelings. I don’t know what you did to her that made her have so much interest in you. And I can’t just keep this information from you but my guy i need the hundred thousand Naira” he concluded with his eyes on me.

Knowing Frank very well, i knew he really had thought over the words he just confessed a hundred times over. Of course there wasn’t anyway else he could get me close to Tessy other than by confessing the real deal behind his interest…..

“c’mon say something” he urged me….
