Episode 9
It was Monday morning but it felt like a Saturday because we left home on Friday.
I woke up aching sweetly in the right places, I felt worn out yet refreshed. I turned on my back, facing up, I stretched and yawned then I felt around my bed looking for my BB. I found it under my pillow, put it on, and said a quick prayer and started checking my Messages, I had plenty but I was just interested in one at present; Habibâs. If his messages werenât waiting for me on my phone this morning I would have felt bad, disappointed in fact.
I read his pings and my heart swelled! It went thus: âMorning sunshineâ, âIt felt strange and lonely waking up aloneâ. âI miss youâ, âPing me when you wake upâ, âKiss kissâ. I quickly typed my reply, âGood morning sweetheartâ, âI slept well and Iâm still aching pleasantly all the places you touched, I miss you tooâ.
I dropped my phone on my bed and stood up, I went into the bathroom, I brushed my teeth and took a quick shower, naturally I would have done some exercises but the SÂŁx I had over the weekend had cover it! I put on a tank top and a short skirt and went into the sitting room taking along my BB. Everyone was there except Koyin.
âGood morning ladies, how was ya nights?â I greeted. âRefreshingâ Bimpe said, âFineâ Amanda said. âWhereâs Koyin?â I enquired, âI never see am this morning but he be like say movement they her room, make I check am?â Amanda asked already heading towards her room. âNo donât botherâ, I said trying to digest what Iâve just heard, I remembered I left Koyin and Opeyemi in the sitting room, and now Amanda is hearing movement coming from her room, could it be that Ope slept over?
Hmmm, today should be interesting; I thought and went into the kitchen. There were some fried eggs in the pan, I put some on my plate, took six sliced breads and made a cup of green tea to take with it, I put all in a tray and went to sit at the dining. Bimpe was reading a novel, Amanda was watching TV and I was on my fourth bread when Koyin came out of her room, Ope was closely behind her, I swear, if Koyin was white, she would have turned red at that moment! âMo morning girlsâ, she whispered. âMorningâ, we all chorused trying very hard and succeeding to hide our smiles.
Ope sensed her distress and moved closer to her, he draped his left hand over her shoulder and said to us, âMorning angels, am I safe?â This time we all giggled and he continued, âMy headlights developed some faults as we were coming yesterday, and she wouldnât allow me to drive home alone with bad lights, isnât she caring? He asked. Bimpe and I nodded in agreement and Amanda said, [B]âVery caring, not that you owe us any explanations thoughâ. I eyed Amanda, she didnât have to say that, it only embarrassed both of them more, why they were both embarrassed was beyond me though. âOk then Iâll be on my way, yâall have a good week aheadâ he said walking out still holding Koyin. âWe will, thank you, byeâ, Bimpe said.
I quickly finished my food, took my plate to the kitchen, washed and dried them and hurried back to the sitting room. A minute after I sat down, Koyin came in raising her two hands up like she was being arrested. âOk girls, before you people pounce on me, yes he slept here, no we didnât Be Intimate and no itâs not what you are thinking! Any other questions?â she asked. âYesâ, we all answered at once. She rolled her eyes at us, dropped her hand from the arrest position and slumped on the sofa,âWhat is it? I thought I answered your questions already!â she said. âWhy..â âHow..â âWhen..â we all started to speak at the same time, she raised up her hand and said, âOne by one ooâ, but I said, âGirls keep calm, since we promised to tell each other how our weekend went, I think she should start from the beginning, start from when we all said goodbye to each other and you entered his car! Then each of us will relate our experience too. No one should interrupt anyone while narrating unless it is absolutely necessary, deal?â Amanda and Bimpe nodded but Koyin asked pouting, âWhy do we have to start with me?â âBecause Ope slept in your room last night and you got caught this morningâ, I answered. âAnd remember donât leave anything out no matter how small or irrelevant!â I added. âOk ma, but can I get my food first sa?â âHurryâ! Amanda said. She came back to sit with us after eating then she started telling us about her weekendâŠ
âHope you are good?â Ope asked me as I buckled my seatbelt, I looked at him smiling, âYes Iâm fine, thank youâ, and I looked away. He started the engine and drove off into the night. âWhere would you like to go before we go to my crib?â he asked me. âAnywhereâ I answered. âAnywhere is nowhere Koyin, do you have any place in mind?â he pestered me. âOk ok, I like high life music, my father is a fan, I grew up on it. If you know a place where we can chill and listen to one, I donât mindâ, I told him. âNow you are talking, I know a place in Yaba, very close to the E-center that plays good high life musicâ, he told me as he drove towards the express. The rest of the journey was spent in silence and I would have paid a lot of money to know what he was thinking about. âHere we are madamâ, he said bringing me to the present. âOhâ, I said unbuckling my seatbelt and getting out of the car. He walked around to my side of the car and took my right hand in his left hand; we walked side by side into the bar.
