Episode 22

I never mentioned I had a boyfriend.
I guess it skipped my mind cos I was more interested in narrating my runs-girl experiences.
I was coming from class one day after a very long lecture when I heard someone calling my name.
“Linda, Linda,” the voice called doubling up behind me.
I turned and saw one very handsome guy following closely behind me.
“Who told you my name?” I asked facing him.
“Have you forgotten me so soon?” the guy asked drawing close to me. “Dennis, the final year law student.”
“I can’t remember you o,” I insisted drawing back a couple of steps. “Your name doesn’t sound familiar.”
“Hmm, you’ve forgotten the guy that came to your rescue the other day cult boys wanted to collect your phone?” He asked peering into my face.
The scenario of the event of that day quickly flashed across my mind.
I had gone to urinate behind agric faculty department and was heading back to my faculty when three guys stopped me and started demanding for my phone.
My heart jumped into my chest and my limbs trembled with fear.
“Please I don’t have any other phone apart from this one,” I begged looking terrified.
“If I whoz u slap eh,” one of the guys threatened. “Ur eye go turn black. Komon gimmie that phone.”
I was about handing the phone to them when a masculine voice shouted: “No even try am!” from behind.
I turned and saw this handsome looking guy draw closer from behind.
“Na my girl una wan arrange so?” The guy asked standing between me and the three guys.
“We no know say na ur girl nah,” the other guys replied. “Abeg no vex.”
The three guys left immediately making me wonder what was so special about the intruding guy that made them leave me just like that.
The guy had told me his name and department that day but since we didn’t see each other again, I gradually forgot.
“Wow was that you?” I asked with raised eye brows.
“Yes, I didn’t see you again after that day,” he replied dipping his hands into his pocket and retrieved his phone. “Please can I have your number?”
“0803975****,” I called out to him. He dialled my number and I saved his own too.
That exchange of number marked the beginning of my relationship with Dennis.
Our first date was in a restaurant close to our campus and I enjoyed it.
Dennis didn’t know I was a runs girl and our relationship had continued peacefully.
“I want to go and meet my friend at the auditorium,” I told him.
“Should I escort you?” He asked looking at me suspiciously.
“No don’t worry. I will call you when I’m through,” I replied not minding what he was thinking.
“Ok o,” he replied turning to go. “See you.”
“Alright, bye,” I replied and walked on.
My friend was very angry when I finally showed up.
“How come you kept me waiting for hours?” She asked frowning.
“I’m sorry dear, our lecture lasted longer than I anticipated,” I replied.
My friend hissed with anger before blurting out: “Ok o no problem. Here’s the senator’s number. Call him this evening and if he asks you how you got his number, tell him that Digoxy gave you.”
“Ok no p,” I replied.
Senator Clifford Obi was one senator who liked women a lot. My friend had slept with him severally and confirmed that he paid well.
Digoxy was his errand boy who arranged and organized chics for him.
I was yet to meet Digoxy but mentioning his name nonetheless was enough to grant me a straight ticket to the senator’s hotel room.
A life time opportunity to make big money; I wasn’t going to mess with it…
