Memories Of Cupid - Season 1 - Episode 7

Dina sat on the pavilion opposite the faculty of biological science. she gulped down her chilled sobo drink, she pinged her roommate on BBM notifying the latter she was already waiting for her around her faculty. Beckley showed up ten minutes later clad in a baby pink flay chiffon blousesd and a deep blue jean trousers.

Dina would agree anywhere at any time that Beckley had a great dress sense. Beckley wiggled her left hand and the numerous
colourful bangles on her wrist jiggled thereby attracting the attention of other students sitted at the pavilion. Beckley bec koned on a young girl selling soft drinks under an old oak tree which gave shade from the heat of the day. The young lady came around and sold out fanta drink to her. Beckley opened her monte blanc wallet and handed some naira notes to her.
She stepped down with the fairly cold fanta and took a deep breathe after her first gulp. It was really obvious she was stressed up.

“Dina, are you done for the day? Lets go to the hostel na” Beckley said gazing intently at Dina’s sullen face. Even though everyone knew Dina was an introvert but then it was obvious from her gloomy face she wasn’t in a good state of mind. Dina smiled faintly. She stood up and started walking to the buspark, Beckley followed suit.

They got to their hall of residence few minutes past five in the evening. Dina had a warm bathe and returned back to the room to see Beckley already going down with noodles and egg, the latter asked her if she cared for. Dina rinsed a fork and joined her roommate in devouring the food.

“ Dina, wetin na? why you dey like this”
Beckley asked, Changing the station to spice TV.

“Beckley, am worried over my brother. I don’t like his girlfriend at all, she’s saucy, rude, over jealous, possessive, obnoxious and arrogant. She doesn’t have manners at all.
Can you believe she slapped Susan when she went to return the textbook she borrowed”

“Which Susan?’’

“The same Susan in his department”

“Though the girl said she was forced to slap
her back by my brother “Dina added, stifling a laughter

Beckley burst into laughter; she almost choked on her food.

’’you mean Austin forced Susan to slap his girlfriend, what’s that her name again”

“Cassandra” Dina chipped in.

“ But wetin do the girl sef, her blood too dey hot. First it was you she slapped, now its Susan.
She get craze for head? See, you have to accept her like that, shes your wife “Beckley said sarcastically.

“iffa hear! Am sure you are joking. Whose wife? Who will allow him marry her? Over my dead body, even my late parents won’t allow him do that, that’s the more reason why I don’t want him to make the greatest mistake of his life cause am sure if she doesn’t kill herself, she will kill Austin and he’s the only one I’ve got”

“eheh, this one pass me o”

“Beckley, please help me, what can I do”
Dina asked, with all seriousness etched on her face.

“hmmm, Dina. I think I have a plan, come closer, even the doors have ears in this hostel”

********************
Nella opened the door of the car and she hopped in. she looked into his dark broody eyes and then there were those damn s*xy** pink lips of his, set into an angular jaw line. He was perfectly groomed and sure looked so good in his black suit. He was tall with a dark lean body. In short, he was hot enough.

He’d had some strange desires for her presence, he had fixed his gaze in those beautiful eyes of hers and her carefully made up face. He’d not even been able to hold himself back from studying her retreating silhouette. Vera had been dressed quite simply in a three quarter sleeved cream buttoned down shirt tucked into a grey high waist knee length skirt that hugged her curvy derriere. She was probably five feet seven or perhaps eight if one took out the six inches heels that had almost brought her up to his six feet three.

“you look beautiful my queen” he said still staring at her wonderingly, still amazed at her looks. she knew the effect her looks would have on him, she was an exotic beauty and she had the same effect on every red blooded male. She had noticed the way she was scrutinized from the crown of her head to the sole of her feet, she was sure his brain was mesmerized by her beauty and must had sent him into limbo.

Nella was the first and only son of multibillionaire businessman, Chief Lawson, Now retired and really enjoying his retirement.
The mandate had fallen upon nella two years back when he’d hit twenty eight years and his father had been forced to retire due to work stress affecting his health. Nella had then taken over the entire corporation and it was doing extremely well, they were recording large profits in six figures.

Nella had been well trained, right from his elementary education, he’d attended the best schools in the world and luckily had been blessed with an intelligent brain. he was always looking forward for the next big thing coming, he’d taken after his father, he’d taken his father’s thriving construction business into a mega construction company, delving into other sectors like manufacturing, telecoms and now Nella was moving the company into the oil and gas sector.

Ever since she and Nella had been going out, she could say her life had changed, the deep empty vacuum in her had now been replaced with love. She could boldly say she was glowing due to the love Nella showered vastly on her.
She blessed the day Nella walked into her bank and the day they got to know eachoher at sourthern restaurant. She had prayed for a responsible good looking young man with a good heart but Nella exceeded her dream man. He was charming and so sweet. There couldn’t have been another man more perfect. She smiled softly as she fixed her gaze on Nella’s handsome face. His eyes shone brightly, Nella engulfed her in a hug and whispered sweet nothings into her ears. She smiled and said “shall we?”

Nella then reached for a package at the backseat of the car and brought out a set of four diamond tennis bracelets, diamond earrings and a diamond encrusted wristwatch.
They looked fit for a queen. He presented them to the love of his life as he often called her.
Vera was transfixed with surprise. she screeched in bewilderment. She was flustered with surprise to say the least. Nothing could have been more beautiful, they were so pleasant and fascinating! She hugged him and thanked him for getting her what she had always dreamed of having.

Nella zoomed off after he had stolen a kiss from her, even though she didn’t see it coming, she loved every bit of it. They arrived at Ember creek located in ikoyi city mall, it had an amazing vibe and ambiance, it was located on the coastal shores, it had a wonderful panoramic view of waterfront terrace .

They sat at the finely dim romantic cacophony bars. Music blasted softly from the speakers erected somewhere up the bulb fixings. They were served with chicken and chips accompanied by an exquisite wine. They ate, drank and danced away into the early hours of Sunday. They kissed passionately many times and cuddled. They fondled with each other and played naughty. They had extreme fun at the poolside and the icecream bar till it was high time they left. Nella dropped her off so as to enable her prepare for church.

“You’ve made my day, you’ve made my life complete. I’ll continue to love you for the rest of my life. “he declared and kissed her with pent up relief.

“Hi, I need your honest response, how did you know about Piri?, I guess you had my digits through Anita but Piri?,from Elyme”

Jimi smiled as he read the message for the umpteenth time. He was happy Elyme could finally reply him after all the messages he had sent to her, sometimes undelivered, sometimes seen but not read and sometimes read. He knew they would definitely have a lengthy conversation at school the next day since he had her answers with him. He was called by his father’s PA to come say goodbye to his father, Dr Laolu Kuti since the latter was leaving for the states in a jiffy and he wouldn’t be due back till the following week. He had some meetings to attend with other ministers.

Jimi scampered from his wing and wished his father a safe trip. The minister said his goodbye to his children and left afterwards, leaving them with adequate security and enough money of course. Jimi wished his mom was there with them, they would have made the perfect family he had always wished for. Even though his father tried to conceal the voidness her absence left in his heart, his children still knew he missed her. It was quite easy to decipher the duo had had a fantastic Romeo and Juliet love life together.

Jimi went golfing with his siblings- Viovenna Kuti and Sewedo Kuti to unwind his nervousity, butterflies were beginning to form in his belly. He was oblivious of what the next day held.
Sewedo picked some golf balls from the golfcart and passed to his elder brother, Jimi.
