I Love My Life

Episode 19

By the time I got up, it was past 4. An hour late for the party. I didn’t notice Tricia, Jegede, Kosi, Williams and Tricia’s friend outside. I rushed to the bathroom, brushed my teeth, my bath and then rushed out. When I checked my phone, I had like 39 missed calls from an unknown number but I didn’t care to dial back. I rushed over my dressed, putting on a blue tux and white trouser with a matching bow tie and shoe. I knew and looking good overall and assessment on myself was 100% and I couldn’t stop looking at myself on the mirror.

I left the room, locked the door behind me and made sure I didn’t forget anything.

Was surprised when I saw Williams and Jegede. The three of us were dressed on the same style. We had sew it when we wanted to travel to Benin for a function but didn’t travel again and it was the first time we were wearing it together. My phone rang again and I answered.

Caller: Are we gonna wait for you all day?
Me: Pardon?
Caller: The celebrant is waiting for you to cut the cake.
Me: Oh! Am so sorry
Caller: Sorry for yourself… Get your a-s to this place now
Me: Hey, whosoever you might be, I have dignity and self respect. Don’t get me infuriated
Caller: Excuse me?
Me: Am shutting you down. I don’t take s–t from anyone. The party can go to hell
Caller: Till you get yourself here
Me: Get lost!!
I cut the call and joined the rest. We took a lot of pictures with our phones till we felt satisfied. That it was okay and time to go. Williams came with his car, so he was to take Jegede and Tricia along while I carried Kosi and Matilda, Tricia’s friend. While I was
asleep, Williams and the rest fixed a plate number on the car and tore off all the nylons sealed on it. I took the lead while Williams drove behind.
Me: Matilda you look sexy on your gown Matilda: You too. You are looking great
Me: Yours is seductive… I can’t control my urge again
Matilda: I don’t understand
Me: I feel like stripping you off and banging you hard.
Kosi gave me a hateful glare but I pretended like I didn’t notice. She was sat on the front seat.
Matilda: You don’t mean it
Me: You want to feel it?
Matilda: We just met today
Me: What other formal introduction do you want? I have got condoms in my back pocket.
Matilda: Ain’t we making someone jealous?
Me: Freedom of speech dey
I looked at Kosi and knew it was obvious that she was fed up and would burst up any sooner
Matilda: Then we are gonna hit it hard then Me: Sure.
Matilda: Gimme your number
Me: Later
Kosi interrupted.
Kosi: I think its high time you stepped down from this car
Matilda: Am sorry… You took it so personal
Me: Don’t mind her jare…
We didn’t say any other thing and drove on in silence until we got to the place. I was missing my other crew in the other car and was imagining the kind of gist that will be going on.
We pulled up at the venue and we took the ladies one by one. I got hold of Matilda while Tricia and Williams entangled. Jegede was pleased to have Kosi because she was the prettiest. Someone was there to direct us to where the party was taking place.
We got there and got all attentions to ourselves. We were like the “Boys Before Flower” guys and those present were like like… Who are this people?
Someone quickly came and ushered us to the VVIP seat, which was decorated with lots of drinks and wine.

Fifteen minutes after we were seated with all the girls behind lurking for our attentions, the light went off and a background music came up…

USHER: Behold her majesty…. The Queen…. The princess and the Malificient one.

She walked up to the stage gracefully, like the princess she was regarded as. She was looking perfectly beautiful. Infact, she was perfection itself and for the first time… I fell in LOVE
USHER: May we now invite the Celebrant boyfriend to come and sit beside her on stage…

Everywhere went lukewarm and silent as we waited and looked around for the boyfriend to join her on stage
