I typed my number and hit ‘Send’. He gave me his number.

Thank you. Have a beautiful night Tinuke.

Goodnight Ranti.

I returned to his Instagram page and was disappointed to find only three pictures. He didn’t wear a ring in any of the pictures. Maybe this was a good sign. It was time to move on and find myself a real man. I smiled and looked at the pictures again, staring into those eyes that held my gaze.

Ranti was all I thought about as I slept that night.

As I checked my Instagram page the next morning, I noticed Tola wasn’t looking happy. Without the usual ‘good morning’ hug, she went straight to the wardrobe and pulled out two pairs of suits which she placed on the bed. I’d never seen her that way and I was worried.

‘Tola, are you okay?’

I can’t believe you lied to me.’

I dropped my phone. ‘What are you talking about?’

She was fuming. ‘You are really asking me that? You told me you needed my shoes and my bag because you had a meeting with some customers. Obviously, Funmi and her rich brat friends were the customers.’

I didn’t know what to say. How did she know? Was she following me on Instagram?

‘I’m sorry Tola. I just didn’t know how to tell you.’

‘Where is the 10k you borrowed from me.’

‘I promise I’ll pay you once I receive my salary.’

She shook her head. ‘Why are you famzing with girls like that? Why can’t you just be satisfied with what you have and grow from there. These girls have their lives already laid out for them. You know your background and where you are coming from.’

I stood up, angry, ‘I don’t need a lecture from you on how to run my life. If you want me out of your house, just say so. I may come from a poor background but I do not intend staying there.’

‘All I’m saying is, be content with what you have for goodness sake.’

‘Tola please stop. Okay? Whatever I do with my life is none of your business. I’ll be out of your house as soon as I can get a place.’

‘I’m not asking you to leave. You can stay here as long you want but I don’t see any sense competing with people who can get whatever they want on a silver platter. Besides, they don’t even care about you. Anyway, like you said, it’s none of my business.’ She folded some clothes into a small box. ‘I have a meeting in Port Harcourt on Monday but I need to go sort out somethings before the meeting starts. I’ll be back by Thursday.’

‘Okay.’ My response was a little above a whisper.
