Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 2

“which part of DON’T DISTURB ME you don’t understand?” The lady asked sternly after my friend have caught up with her for the second time. Jide was still finding an answer to her question when she raised her voice again. “Will you just for once in your miserable life, just do as you are told and Back off!?.” She said, amid anger and with the rate at which she was fumming now, am not sure she can take another minute of my friends stubbornness.

“I just want.. Want…want to knw….” Jide was stammering before she cut in.

“you don’t want to know any d--n thing about me…foöl!…all you are interested in is how you are going to satisfy your stewpid sexual urge…” She retorted but no, Jide is not ready to give up either. The arguement was starting to get very tensed and am afraid the ending might not be a pleasant one atall.
“is a sex doll that hard for you to get?” She asked in annoyance.

“will you give me eight hundred kay to get one?” Jide asked her.
“its obvious you’re a fool.” she hissed and turned around and began walking away.

So in order to counteract the situation as Jide was already getting ready to follow her, I quickly marched to him and tried speaking some sense into him.

“hey”. I said tapping him by the shoulder as he continue watching while the lady was walking very fast down the untarred road “the, lady said to back off. Just give up already, its getting up to 3hrs now. no be every lady can be as gullible and cheap as Blessing na… But unless you want to suffer another round of embarrasment, then you can go after her.” I said and waited for his next action.

“what are you saying? That I should just let her go?”

“no…am saying you should avoid embarrasment at all cost.”

“not now that am very close to getting her…can’t you see the way she was licking her lips when she was talking to me? Guy…am soo close…” He replied with a determined demeanour.

“ogbeni, u are not close to anything… The only thing you are close to here, is getting slapped…and believe me, you won’t like it…”

“she can’t do that, and for your info, am not backing off, not until i atleast get her number and residence…” He replied walking away.

“why not also get her Birth certificate and H.I.V report? U this glorified idiot.” i fired back at him cos i was already getting angry at his stubbornness.

“na u sabi. Call me whatever you like. I will make sure I get her at all cost.” With that determination, he switched to Usain Bolt mode and ran as fast as his legs could carry him.

I released an exasperated sigh and quickly followed suit.

fortunately for us, we were able to catch up with her as she was about to enter a Hairdressing salon. I was so tired after the whole 200meters run, and so was my friend.

We were both sweating hard. I stopped a few distance behind the salon as I keenly view from there, hoping Jide doesn’t get himself into trouble.

Two minutes later, the anticipated happened. I watched as the lady gave my friend a resounding slap across his cheeks. I hastily rushed down there to confirm what really provoked the slap.

“did you just slapped me?”. Jide cried out holding his cheeks and looking scornfully at the lady.

That looks like a very dumb question to the lady as she just let out a scoff before talking.

“not atall. I didn’t. I only used my right hand to straighten that insultive cheek of yours, and worst will still happen if you don’t back off now.” She replied him angrily and entered the salon.

“Jide, take heart o, infact, na Gawd go judge am.” I said, trying to comfort him for the humiliation he suffered back there.

“ontop wetin…na?” He asked amid sobs. “ah, emi (me) Darous.” He was beating his chest rapidly. “emi almighty Jendor? She go pay o. I swear on my fathers grave…she go pay…if she no pay, make thunder strike Mtn and their voicemail.” He cursed angrily.
“she go pay?” I asked teasingly.
“yes, I promise you that…you know me o…ah no dey fork nonsense.”

“did you gave her your bank account details?” I asked amusingly.

“Darous, no whyne me o, i dey vex…no make ah vex for you o.” He threatened.

“who u dey vex give? Na me slap u ni, abi u be born idiot, when that b*tch dey dash u slap, why u no vex? U wan dey vex for me, na thunder go fire u and your stupid vex.”

“No vex abeg, u suppose understand now.” He said softly.
“the only thing I understand is that, her slap sent your memory back to factory settings. So I’m grateful to her for that.”

“ok, I know say i fork up, but its also wrong of her to raise up her hands against a guy like me. So she will pay for that.”

Throughout our journey home, Jide could’nt stop rubbing his cheeks. He was busy lamenting how he will make the lady pay for what she did.

I just hissed and went to my room. I laid on the bed and started thinking of how am going to tidy my girlfriend’s sister the next day.
