Episode 5
Today was hectic; it took me close to six hours to drive home after I left Demola and the other guys at Troy bar. I was so tired; I just hoped the girls were still up because I couldnāt wait to hear what they had to say after I sent each of them their weekend dates picture; especially Bimpe and Koyin. I also canāt wait to tell them how the day went.
I got out of my car taking my jacket and bag with me; I locked the car and strolled in lazily.
I entered our apartment and everyone looked up as I dropped into the nearest chair to me. āWelcome dear, I donāt need to ask how your day was, your face says it allā Koyin said. āI was just about to send out a search party out to look for youā, said Amanda. āThank you ma, Iām home now you can call back your search partyā. I told Amanda, āWhere is Bimpe?ā I asked. āSheās in the kitchen as usualā, and Bimpe was on cue as she came out of the kitchen carrying our serving bowl with her, sweet aroma filled the air. āSup girl, when did you get back?ā she asked me, āJust nowā, I replied. āYou look tired, pele dear, food is ready. Weāre having yam porridgeā, she announced as she went back into the kitchen. āYou guys go ahead, let me just have a quick shower, Ama can you come with me pleaseā, I said standing up and going into my room, Amanda was right behind me.
āSo whatās up with Bimpe? Have you talked some sense into her?ā, I asked as I went into the bathroom. āYes I tried my best, but I think what finally convinced her was the picture you sent. She hasnāt been able to stop talking about how handsome he is, so I think weāre good with herā, she reported as I came out of the bathroom. āGood, weāll talk about the guys over dinner, Iāll join you soonā, I said while I toweled myself dry. āBe fast, I canāt wait!ā, she said and walked out of my room. I put on a short gown and packed my hair in a hair net and went into the living room. Everyone was sitting at the table; I sat down as Bimpe served my food. I watched my friendsā faces and I am sure I had them where I wanted them, āeager to talkā.
Koyin said a short prayer and we all began to eat, two minutes later, Amanda saidā āOk, enough with the suspense, canāt wait anymore, please tell me about my guyā. I smiled broadly and looked at Koyin and Bimpe to be sure they were interested; yes they were excited; they had stopped eating and were all staring at me. I smiled broadly to myself, I like having my way, always!
āWho do I start with?ā, I asked. āMeā, they all echoed. āOk Iāll start with Koyin. Your guyās name is Ope, heās single, heās a lawyer, heās a good guy. Heās in the same emotional state as you are. He just lost his girlfriend and I met him today. I guarantee you, heās cool and safe and he really likes you tooā, I told her. āNow the question is, do you like him?ā, I asked, āYes I do! Arh, the guy handsome die oo, make I no lie, I think this weekend will be fun after allā, she said beaming. āThatās my girlā, I high āfivedā her and she took it. āBimpe, what do you think about the guyās picture I sent you?ā, I asked holding my breath, āWell, heās fine, I like his smile. Who is he?ā, She asked. āHis name is Tony, heās a Naval officer, cool guy, very charming, you wonāt believe he greeted me with a kiss at the back of my hand! Heās a bit busy but not at present and heās single tooā. I told Bimpe and she said, āYou sure know how to find them donāt you?ā, āIf that is a complement, I take it, thank youā. āAma, the only thing you need to know about your guy is that heās richā, I said and everyone burst into laughter. āCommon Sandra itās not all about money oo, abeg download his profile for meā, Amanda said. āOk ooo, his name is Lekan, heās a banker, rich, a selfless spender. Heās always busy but he knows how to show a girl a good time. Met him today, heās cool. Heās single and he likes you tooā, I told her. āI like him too; so far he can spend his money. So who is your own booboo?ā, she asked.
āWell, his name is Habibā, I said passing my blackberry to Koyin who sat to my right so she can see his picture; she passed the phone to Amanda who passed it to Bimpe. āI trust you to save the best for yourselfā, Amanda said pouting at me, āIāll gladly exchange with you, the only problem is that heās not a cheerful spenderā, I lied.
She said eyeing me āNo, thank you, Iām ok with my Lekan, you can have Habib to yourselfā. oh how I know my friends. āSo, any question for me?ā, I asked, āYesā, Bimpe said, āDo you know if any of these guys is in a relationship?ā, I didnāt want to lie to my friends neither do I want to raise their hopes so I said the truth, āI really donāt know dear but letās look at it this way; if they are truly in love with their girlfriends will they be having a weekend out? I mean, if you girls were still in a relationship would I be able to convince you to this plan?ā, I asked, āNoā, they all echoed. āHow do we meet them and where are they taking usā, Amanda asked. āIāve given them your bb pins and Iām sure they will add you up tonight, so you guys can get to know each other. They will pick us up here on Friday, 8pm but I donāt know where they are taking us, itās a surpriseā,
I answered. āAny other question?ā
I asked, āWell, I will like to know where, when and how you got these guys in 24 hours?ā, Koyin asked, why are they asking me questions I donāt want to answer, if I tell them I met them through Demola, they might want to pull out or get shy around him, so I lied by omission, āThatās my secret, you donāt expect me to tell you my secret so you can become the queen naughty lady?ā, I said while clearing the table, Koyin swatted my butt0ckz as I passed by her to the kitchen, āOuchā, I m0aned.
