MISSED PART 10, READ HERE
I blocked my slightly opened door with my
body, which prevented him from walking
into my room, just like he did the previous
day. However he never showed any surprise,
but instead continued to smile sweetly…….
“How was your night, i came as soon as i
woke up, because i want your face to be the
first thing i will see this morning” he said,
while i smiled,
“Thanks i’m very fine, but you also woke me
from sleep” i complained as i rubbed my
eyes…….
“I’m so sorry dear, will you be going out
today?” he asked,
“Yea i will and why do you ask?” i replied,
“I just want to spend some time with you”
he explained, while i shruggled, “well that
will be another day” i answered………
Instead of leaving, he still stood and
watched me, while i returned his gaze
without knowing what else to say to him,
“You are really so beautiful dear, and i will
do anything just to win your heart” he said
sweetly and fluently, while i smiled,
“Thanks sha, but you need not bother
because you won’t succeed, moreover i
already have a guy” i replied calmly, which
made him to smile,
“You mean him?” he asked, as he pointed
towards Samuel’s room……..
“Please i’m yet to brush nor clean up, lets
talk later” i heard myself say to him, but
just that moment Mariam appeared from
nowhere and stood beside him, with a
smile,
“Baby good morning, i’m so sorry i was
unable to show up yesterday, abeg shift
make i enter nah” she said playfully, while
my legs shook, as my heart leaped, because
Samuel was in my room, probably still in
my bed, a situation i really didn’t want her
to witness, because i really haven’t told her
much about Samuel, and she might
misinterpret the whole thing…….
“Baby give way nah, make i enter” she said
again, while i hesitantly opened my door a
little wider, in order for her to enter,
“David thanks for checking up on me, we
will continue our discussion some other
time” I said to David with a sweet smile, as
i closed my door………
With a fast beating heart, i turned and
faced my room, but surprisingly i saw
Samuel seated at the edge of my bed, well
composed and engrossed in his mobile
phone which he was playing with. I
breathed deeply (What a sharp guy)…….
Yet Mariam still smiled and eyed me
suspiciously, as she turned to face me
again……
“We will chat later since your friend is
already here” i heard Sam say nervously, as
he stood up and left, while i smiled as i
locked my door before facing
Mariam again, who still continued to look
at me suspiciously…….
“I just noticed many things” she said to me
with a smile,
“Things like what?” i asked, but she just
shrugged……
“Dear friend, hope you are not planning to
keep this away from me?” she asked with a
little laugh,
“Hope you are not planning to deny that
you just slept with Samuel?” she seriously
asked me, while i gasped…….
“No, i didn’t ooo” i seriously replied as i fell
on my bed, and clutched my teddy bear
with a smile,
“sharrap you liar” i heard Mariama say with
a smile,
“Didn’t Samuel sleep here last night?” she
asked seriously, as if she already was aware
he did, while i wondered whether she really
knew, or was just trying to play with my
intelligence……
I breathed deeply and stared at her,
“Yes he did, but nothing ensued between
us” i replied, while her face lit up
momentarily with bright eyes, which soon
died away as she stared at me again in
surprise,
“Huh what did you just say?? Do you mean
you two didn’t??” she asked, while i
seriously nodded to her,
“Yea we didn’t do anything, he is a
complete gentleman” i said with a smile……
“Abeg go jare, you wan tell mesay two of
una sleep on top the same bed and nothing
happened?” she asked in a surprise look an
a naughty smile,
“Comot there, you chukuchuku girl, you too
like bad thing, do you thing everybody
behaves like you, thank God you no be man
tufiakwa! things for happen well for your
head” i said to her, while she laughed out
loud……
“I was on my way coming, when i saw you
both sneaking into your room last night so i
just turned and returned to my room, but i
came here this early, in order to confirm
whether he actually slept here” she
explained,
“Infact you are jobless” i said to her with a
smile…….
“So what’s up with you and David?” she
enquired, while i shruggled,
“I don’t know what is wrong with that boy,
he just started showing interest in me” i
replied with a yawn,
“Please be careful with that wolf ooo, don’t
mind his innocent face, he is very
dangerous” she advised me……
______________________________________
We chatted all through that morning
happily, and we really had a great time,
because Mariam never lacks topics and so
we ate together, gisted and joked till noon,
when she left for her room……..
I immediately freshened up as soon as she
left, before calling Samuel on phone, in
order to know where he was,
“I went to see my uncle, i will be back
shortly” he replied,
“Abeg buy something when returning,
including Christian love movies oo” i
begged,
“Ok madam i will” he replied, while i
smiled……
I had barely ended the phone call when i
heard someone knock on my door, i
immediately knew it was David which really
made my body temperature rise a bit. I
breathed deeply and reached for my door,
which i quietly opened, while he stood at
the doorway with his usual decieving
smile………
“May i come in?” he politely asked, while i
nodded, opened my door wider and made
way for him to enter my room, which he did
with a confident smile on his face.
David calmly entered my room with a
confident smile on his face. I left my door
opened, and drew down my curtain, which
then stood in its place, because i really
didn’t want to lock myself inside my room
with him.
“You are looking very lovely” he said with a
smile as he sat on my bed. I sat on a
plastic chair and forced out a smile,
“Thanks ooo my God is alive” i replied…….
“So what plans do you have for the rest of
the day?” he asked,
“I don’t understand your question” i replied
as i gave him a curious look,
“How do you plan to spend the rest of the
day?” he asked,
“Oops now i understand, anyway i have no
plans other than to read my books, sleep
and eat” i replied a bit coldly,
“Hmmm it’s okay sha” he muttered……..
We stayed in silence for a while, which
really was one of my boring moments that
particular day. I sat uneasily on my chair
and browsed with my phone, as i equally
prayed for Mariam to show up and rescue
me……
“Globacom is hosting a show this evening
in school, will you like to attend?” he later
asked. I looked up in surprise and shook my
head,
“Really!, how come i didn’t hear about it” i
muttered to myself loudly…..
“So will you like to attend?, i heard Tuface,
Wizkid and other musicians will be
coming?” he asked anxiously, but i just bit
my lips and looked away,
“No i don’t think i will go” i replied, even
though i secretly was dying to attend such
a show, but then i really couldn’t accept to
go out with such a boy, whom i knew was
all out to impress me, till he gets whatever
he had in mind, moreover attending such a
show with him, might end up into another
thing which i equally was very scared to
think of…..
“What are you thinking” he asked, stood up
and drew close to me, while i immediately
composed myself and smiled,
“Nothing i’m fine” i replied, but he squatted
by my side and held my hands,
“i know you don’t trust me, i can see it in
your eyes, but no matter the opinion you
may have about me, just know that i’m also
human, who deserves to be shown love and
respect which you are not even showing to
me” he said as he stared into my eyes……
“what do you mean?” i heard myself ask,
but he laughed,
“i can read your eyes, you despise me
because you know i belong to a secret cult,
but dear if you should hear my story, you
won’t really blame me at all” he said
calmly.
“I’m already in love with you which i can’t
help, please just take me as a friend. It
hurts me very much whenever you treat me
like dirt, just like you did this morning,
please don’t look at my outside nature, but
look inside me, and decide for yourself,
whether i’m that bad” he added, while his
face changed as if he wanted to cry……..
I really was touched, but all i could do was
just to look away and stand up,
“I have heard you, but it won’t change
anything, we will continue to be friends and
nothing more, just as you asked for” i
replied………
“It’s okay by me, a journey of a thousand
miles begins with a step” i heard him say
as he stood up,
“What do you mean” i asked in surprise, but
he just laughed,
“Don’t mind me dear, it’s really nothing” he
replied,
“But i have one more request” he added,
while i turned and faced him,
“What is it?” i asked.
“Please i need just a friendly hug from you,
to mark our friendship, then i will leave” he
begged, while i bit my lips and looked away,
“Common what’s so hard in it?, a friendly
hug won’t do you anything” he begged…..
I shruggled as i breathed deeply, hesitantly
drew close and hugged him, while he tightly
held me a bit longer than i had in
mind……….
Unluckily Samuel banged in that very
moment…………..
