Memories Of Cupid - Season 1 - Episode 5

“Cassandra, nawa for you o. you no even fit
borrow me that your jerry curl boyfriend for
a day” Tara said, shifting her gaze from the
TV before them Cassandra shot her a dangerous stare

“look, he is for me and me alone, even his
sister cant share him with me not to talk of
you, far from it girlfriend” Cassandra shot
back at her.

Tara smiled even though the beams didn’t
touch her eyes. She punched her BB Q10
and replied a mail that came in. she knew it
was high time she left already. She didn’t
want to overstay her welcome though it
was already seeming like she had already.

Cassy walked her to the junction where she
could easily get a bike to the other side of
the campus where tara stayed.

She freshened up and made for Austin’s
hostel, the duo had agreed on meeting that
weekend at his side.

She flagged down a cab when she got to
the junction and hopped in after having a
brief conversation with the cabdriver.

With her face held up high, she walked
majestically to austin’s quarters. She
barged into his room. Her countenance
changed instantly, her finely shaped
eyebrows creased into a deep frown, hands
akimbo.

Sitted on the medium sized unifoam bed
was Austin and a strange lady chatting
away with Austin. They stared at her with a
questionable look, those pairs of eyes were
probably demanding for answers, why would
she barge in on them. It seemed young
ladies were beginning to lose courtesy and
etiquette was far away from their reaches .
had she lost her sense of decorum, had she
even got them before. Thousands of
questions dived in and out of Austin’s mind.

Austin cleared his throat and was about
breaking the long uncomfortable silence
when cassy barked at the strange girl siting
on the bed “who the hell are you?”

“eem, i…” before the young lady could voice
out her next word, two hot slaps landed on
her left cheek. She was dumbfounded. Twin
tears rolled down her cheeks, her legs were
struggling to find balance. Her left palm
stuck on her face. She still couldn’t register
what had happened in her cerebrum. Austin
himself looked astonished.

“what do you think you are doing
Cassandra?, she is my sister’s..’’

‘’your sister’s what? Austin, do you think I
don’t know about the stupid October rush
final year guys engage in, dating all sorts of
girls on campus and having s-x with them.

If you don’t know how to control your third
leg, I’ll teach you, trust me” she ranted

“now, you get your stupid self out of this
room, cheap brat but just know you’ll hear
from me soon, husband snatcher”

Austin was embarrassed, anger was nothing
comaored to what he felt towards his so
called girlfriend, his eyes were red, he was
obviously boiling with anger.

The younglady picked her sea green chloe
Givenchy faux fur designer bag and was
about turning the knob of the door when
Austin held back her hand

“Return her slaps now” he said with all
seriousness written on his face. One could
see venom in his Dark eyes. Tension
developed instantaneously in the room.

“Vera, who was that man that dropped you
off yesterday?” Mrs Williams questioned,
peeling the orange in her hand.

Vera’s eyes buldged out, her mother was
turning into a stalker already. Vera shook
her leg gently, she thought of sauntering
into her room with immediate effect but her
mother would increase her grip on her if
she did that, Who said mothers don’t have
wahalas?. she didn’t know if it was the right
time to tell Ivie she was already seeing a
man.

Her phone rang, Her lips twisted into a
warm smile as “Nella” displayed as the
caller ID. she winked at her mother and
strolled into the room,laughing heartily on
the phone.

“Vera is in love” her mother smiled softly as
she sq££zed the orange juice into her
mouth.
