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 couldnā€™t wait to hear what they had to say after I sent each of them their weekend dates picture; especially Bimpe and Koyin. I also canā€™t 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. ā€˜Welcome dear, I donā€™t need to ask how your day was, your face says it allā€™ Koyin said. ā€˜I was just about to send out a search party out to look for youā€™, said Amanda. ā€˜Thank you ma, Iā€™m home now you can call back your search partyā€™. I told Amanda, ā€˜Where is Bimpe?ā€™ I asked. ā€˜Sheā€™s 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. ā€˜Sup girl, when did you get back?ā€™ she asked me, ā€˜Just nowā€™, I replied. ā€˜You look tired, pele dear, food is ready. Weā€™re having yam porridgeā€™, she announced as she went back into the kitchen. ā€˜You 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.

ā€˜So whatā€™s up with Bimpe? Have you talked some sense into her?ā€™, I asked as I went into the bathroom. ā€˜Yes I tried my best, but I think what finally convinced her was the picture you sent. She hasnā€™t been able to stop talking about how handsome he is, so I think weā€™re good with herā€™, she reported as I came out of the bathroom. ā€˜Good, weā€™ll talk about the guys over dinner, Iā€™ll join you soonā€™, I said while I toweled myself dry. ā€˜Be fast, I canā€™t 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, ā€œeager to talkā€.
Koyin said a short prayer and we all began to eat, two minutes later, Amanda saidā€™ ā€˜Ok, enough with the suspense, canā€™t 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!
ā€˜Who do I start with?ā€™, I asked. ā€˜Meā€™, they all echoed. ā€˜Ok Iā€™ll start with Koyin. Your guyā€™s name is Ope, heā€™s single, heā€™s a lawyer, heā€™s a good guy. Heā€™s in the same emotional state as you are. He just lost his girlfriend and I met him today. I guarantee you, heā€™s cool and safe and he really likes you tooā€™, I told her. ā€˜Now the question is, do you like him?ā€™, I asked, ā€˜Yes I do! Arh, the guy handsome die oo, make I no lie, I think this weekend will be fun after allā€™, she said beaming. ā€˜Thatā€™s my girlā€™, I high ā€œfivedā€ her and she took it. ā€˜Bimpe, what do you think about the guyā€™s picture I sent you?ā€™, I asked holding my breath, ā€˜Well, heā€™s fine, I like his smile. Who is he?ā€™, She asked. ā€˜His name is Tony, heā€™s a Naval officer, cool guy, very charming, you wonā€™t believe he greeted me with a kiss at the back of my hand! Heā€™s a bit busy but not at present and heā€™s single tooā€™. I told Bimpe and she said, ā€˜You sure know how to find them donā€™t you?ā€™, ā€˜If that is a complement, I take it, thank youā€™. ā€˜Ama, the only thing you need to know about your guy is that heā€™s richā€™, I said and everyone burst into laughter. ā€˜Common Sandra itā€™s not all about money oo, abeg download his profile for meā€™, Amanda said. ā€˜Ok ooo, his name is Lekan, heā€™s a banker, rich, a selfless spender. Heā€™s always busy but he knows how to show a girl a good time. Met him today, heā€™s cool. Heā€™s single and he likes you tooā€™, I told her. ā€˜I like him too; so far he can spend his money. So who is your own booboo?ā€™, she asked.

ā€˜Well, 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. ā€˜I trust you to save the best for yourselfā€™, Amanda said pouting at me, ā€˜Iā€™ll gladly exchange with you, the only problem is that heā€™s not a cheerful spenderā€™, I lied.

She said eyeing me ā€˜No, thank you, Iā€™m ok with my Lekan, you can have Habib to yourselfā€™. oh how I know my friends. ā€˜So, any question for me?ā€™, I asked, ā€˜Yesā€™, Bimpe said, ā€˜Do you know if any of these guys is in a relationship?ā€™, I didnā€™t want to lie to my friends neither do I want to raise their hopes so I said the truth, ā€˜I really donā€™t know dear but letā€™s 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, ā€˜Noā€™, they all echoed. ā€˜How do we meet them and where are they taking usā€™, Amanda asked. ā€˜Iā€™ve given them your bb pins and Iā€™m 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 donā€™t know where they are taking us, itā€™s a surpriseā€™,
I answered. ā€˜Any other question?ā€™
I asked, ā€˜Well, 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 donā€™t 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, ā€˜Thatā€™s my secret, you donā€™t 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, ā€˜Ouchā€™, I m0aned.
