Midnight Saga

Episode 19

She sat on the bed and smiled,
“I know” was her reply.

“I just like you!” she added.

“And what makes you think I don’t have a
boyfriend?”
I asked with a Grin.
“I know you don’t, you look too innocent” she
said and Laughed.
we talked about a lot, I got to know her, and
she was a nice person.
An hour later, I got up to leave.
“So soon?” she asked.
“Yes dear”
She stood up, came to where I was, placed her
two palms on my cheek, and stared at me for
about 30 seconds.
Then Kissed me, and hugged me afterwards.
She’s tangled in the fact that she loves me, personally I knew it wasn’t love, just Obsession fueled by Admiration. Before the competition she wouldn’t have noticed someone like me
we walked down the stairs, I met her Mum in
the sitting room, I told her I’ll be leaving.
Then I left. I had barely gotten out of the
Building, when my phone beeped, I checked it,
it was a message, a bank Alert actually, 100k
had been deposited in my Account.

I called Capon, to inform him i had gotten my
own share.
I arrive home about 6pm, I checked on Ibro, I
met him and Jennifer, all intertwined like two
love birds.
I greeted them, and walked to my room, I
prepared something to eat, ate and was
reading my books, exams was just 2 weeks
ahead.
My phone beeped, it was Amarachi!.
“Jeff, Jeff, Jeff!” she said.
“How many times did I call you”
“Thrice” i replied.
“So you mean you went the whole
weekend,without hearing from me or seeing
me.”
“I apologised”
“She had travelled home to Abia state, she
neither informed me nor called me, she just
expected me to care enough to find out” and I
didn’t.
I was still reading in my room, when I heard
people talking on top of their Voices.
It was coming from Ibro’s room,
“Give me your phone!” Ibro said to Jennifer.
“No I won’t! Don’t you trust me?” Jennifer
replied
“Yes I don’t!” he replied
She broke in tears, took her bag and left.
I was just standing there by the door, I walked
in and asked Ibro what the problem was.

“we were both lying on the bed, One of her
Lovers called her, I was very close to her, she
thought I didn’t hear what they were saying,
the guy on the other end, was saying ” I love
you”
and she responded with “Thank you”, the guy
later said ‘won’t you say you love me too’,
then she ended the call. I picked up the phone
immediately and checked her last received
call, I saw ‘My desire’. She instantly Snatched
the phone from my hand”.

He broke down in tears after sharing the
incidence
I consoled him, and told him everything will be
Alright.

i was thinking whether to tell him how she
made an Approach towards me. But I decided
to keep it to myself.

I took his Phone, Copied her number! to my
phone and left his room.

I couldn’t continue reading, I just slept off.

Sandra was Discharged on the Friday of that
week, I was informed a forehand.
So I skipped class that day, her parents drove
us to her hostel and dropped her there.
” Can I speak with you in private?” Sandra’s
Dad said, to me
“Yes” I replied.
We walked out, as we strolled, he began, with
his hands hooked around his back.
“Son, before this moment, I never liked seeing
any boy around my daughter” he said and
paused.
“But you changed that, you showed me there
are still few responsible youths out there, and
I will forever appreciate what you did for my
daughter”
I didn’t reply, and I guess he didn’t expect me
to say anything too.

“Please take care of Sandra”
“I will sir” I replied
We both walked back to the hostel, Sandra’s
Parents left. I stayed with Sandra, almost all
through the day, i prepared lunch for her, I
made her laugh too.
I left, she didn’t want to let me go actually.
But I eventually left.
After 3 days of Silence I decided to call Grace,
“You almost failed your test” she said
“What test?” I asked, puzzled.
“well I intentionally didn’t call you, I was
expecting you to call”
I laughed, because, we haven’t even had
anything going on yet and I was already
getting tests.

“Come over to my house, I have a Surprise for
you” She said.
