Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 52
The next morning we woke up, peacefully, she
made some hot water and pressed my wound
again, this time it was not so painful and the
mirror confirmed am not far from getting
better.
We dressed for work and drove straight to
Park n’ shop at wuse zone II so I can pick a
shirt I will wear to work, of course she
sponsored the expenses,do I have money?
Work went smoothly that day, one thing I like
about her is she doesn’t allow her emotions to
rule her at work place. I resumed normally and
few people around told me how I looked better
than the previous day.
At the end of the day my madam dropped me
off at Bwari junction and drove off. It was past
four when I got a text message which read ”
can you meet me at drumstix?”
The message was from Miss Lisa and I
wondered why she sent a text message instead
of calling. I called her to confirm if the
message was really for me and she confirmed
asking me to try and met her by six.
I promised to meet her and dropped the phone
but made up my mind to be on guard. As I
got home I met Jessica sitting outside the
compound with her friend again. The same
friend she was with the last time they were
reading together.
“Good afternoon” she greeted me
“Heey babe! Howdy naw” I responded with a
bright smile.
“Fine”
“Good afternoon” her friend greeted too
“Hello how are you?”
“Fine”
“You look great!” jessica commented regarding
me with a look only me understands. If her
friend did understand I don’t know.
“Thanks, I went home so what do you expect” I
lied before she asks me where I was yesterday.
“Ah and you didn’t even tell me” she said.
“Impromtu visit sha” I lied again peering into
her friend’s book.
“Heey is this not economic?” I asked the friend
as I saw the demand curve.
“Yes” she said raising her head to look me
slightly. She seemed a quiet girl and shy with
me so I used that as an opportunity to get
closer so she will get freer with me.
“This used to be one of my best subjectsl I
informed her.
“Ah all subject is your best! Brain box!”
Jessica exclaimed excitedly and her friend
flashed a smile that exposed her fine
dentition.
“No, I don’t like maths and government” I told
them and they seem amused.
“But government is my best” her friend spoke
for the first time without being questioned and
I knew I was making a head way.
“Are you for real? You must have a retentive
memory then because as for me?..” I pointed
myself. “I am so dull with dates” I concluded
and both girls reeled with laughter.
“Okies read well, if you have any difficulties
just holla as long as it’s not mathematics or
government” I told them as I head to my room
and winked slightly to her friend Joy. Yeah I
never told you. That’s her name as I later
learnt.
I was not hungry so I just pulled my shirt and
stretched on my bed looking at the ceiling
while I thought about Miss Lisa and why she
wants to see me. I tried to figure out
something but nothing seem forthcoming.
I later shifted my thinking to my madam and I
tried to relate with her story and I kept
wondering why her husband she talked about
see to have a similar story to that of my
uncle.
I have an uncle which my mum complains
about. Though I have only seen his pictures
but never in person. My mum always complain
about how his wife left him because he have
another wife somewhere. My mum never said
where anyway. I wondered why I was making a
comparison and soon shifted that from my
head as I thought of what to wear.
Checking the time it was few minutes
Past the hour of 5pm. I heard my landlord’s
voice outside as he replies to the girls
greeting and I decided to go out to greet him
too.
“Good evening sir”
“Heey Nneji, how are you?”
“Fine sir” I replied with a wide smile.
“You look better today, I didn’t see you
yesterday” he said
“Eh, sir I went to kaduna from work that
yesterday, it was not planned that’s why I had
to come back early today” I lied smoothly.
“Eyah, so how are your parents?”
“They are fine”
“Welcome”
“Thank you sir” I replied as I went back into
the room.
I stripped to my boxers as I flipped through
my clothes. A whole lot of my clothes are dirty
so I searched for neat ones I can go out with.
As I was searching I heard a knock on my
door neat.
“Yes who is there?” I asked not raising up my
head.
“It’s me” the voice of Joy came up.
“Come in” I said still searching.
I raised my head up as I heard the door’s
movement. I faced her fully, semi Unclad. I
noticed her eyes settle momentarily on my
hairy chest.
“Heey girl” I said looking at the book in her
hand.
“Yes please I need your help with this” I
peered into the book and saw it was the
demand topic that was talking about the shift
in the demand curve. I took some time to
explain to her while she nods.
“Just go and try what I told you am going out
now we will continue next time hun?” I told her
touching her cheek and she thanked me as she
turns to leave.
“Come, you haven’t told me your name you
know” I said looking deep into her eyes.
“Am joy” she said.
“Uhmmm joy! No wonder I feel joyful when I
see you”.
She smiled coyly thank me and left. I rushed a
white polo and pulled it over my body while I
hit the road.
On my way I saw T.J’s babe ( The big mama)
coming towards my direction and like a flash I
turned and followed the other direction before
she spots me.
I entered a cab to wuse, before then Miss Lisa
have called to tell me she was still expecting
me and I confirmed to her that I was coming.
On my way I kept thinking why she wants to
see me.
