Shadow Of Love

Episode 33

Two weeks after resumption and we five were together in the garage of my apartment. The power had gone off while we were eating so we quickly rounded up and went downstairs to get fresh air (Cynthia’s choice actually).

A push at the gate and two cute guys walked in. I’ve not seen them before and I wondered who they were looking for. Secondly, since I packed in, I only minded my room, I didn’t even know who my neighbours were. I was about going to meet them when they started walking towards our direction.

Vanessa: See fine boys o.

It was a whisper but we heard right so we all laughed to her open admiration.

The guys walked up to us and we had to struggle to put ourselves together.

It was one of the boys who spoke up. He was tall, dark, broad chest laced with muscled arms, his very flat stomach was obvious and he was putting on a white short and body hugged black top.

William: Hi girls.

Wow! His smile was perfect. He even has a gap teeth and a dimple on his right cheek.

While we took turns to return his greetings, I decided to check out the other guy and yes, I caught him staring at me. He smiled and looked away. He was not different from his friend, except that he was putting on a suit and his complexion was a little bit lighter than that of his friend.

William: I’m William and this is my friend, Leonard.

We all shook hands and we told them our names.

Leonard: Pamela, its really nice to see you outside today. You’ve not done that since you packed in.

Me: Oh! Oh my God! You both are the copers that live here?

And did I mention that Leonard has a very deep baritone voice? I think I just did. But I didn’t drool on that because I had an answer to give.

Leonard: Yes we are.

Me: Wow. Its nice meeting you.

We shook hands again and i introduced them to Claire, emphasizing that she’s my roommate.

We chatted for a while before they left for their apartment.

Vanessa: Mehn! Some guys are just so cute for my liking.

Lois: Can’t you see how speechless I am? You won’t even be able to pick the best among the two. They fine joor.

Claire: And did you notice their good command of English? This guys are over hot.

Me: I’m already planning on a house barbeque so we can get to stare at them longer than this one.

Vanessa: You and Claire no suppose to dey follow us talk o because una two don get bobo already.

We laughed again, throwing our heads back as the laughter flowed.

Cynthia: I just dey look all of you. How many una dey sef?

She counted us and added the two guys.

Cynthia: Ehe. This one no go be threesome again. It’ll be sixsome.

My stomach almost blew open with laughter. As I didn’t die that day, I no fit die any other day.

We spent the rest of the evening outside. Truth be told, it was Tobe’s call that took us upstairs. He’ll be back in a fortnight(travelled to Canada to see his sister that gave birth). He took time to speak with the girls before we bade each other good night.

The girls left and Claire started cooking noodles which we’ll have for dinner.
