I entered the supermarket...a
stuffs, i went to the female attendant and asked
her about Desmond.... As they say, curiosity killed
the cat...... She told me that Desmond is a
graduate but became a driver for a very rich
family as there are no job opportunities coming
forth yet...
Hian! Ok..... I thanked her for the info and left.
When I got to the lodge, Vera was already back....
Still on her shoes.......
She lay down and was crying.
'haaaa, you are back already?I dropped my stuffs
and went straight to Veras bed..... How did it go?
What happened na? Why are you in this mood?
I asked....
Vera sat up, meeting my gaze, she have a deep
sigh and wiped her tears....
'when we got to the hotel, Collins and I kissed so
passionately for almost twenty minutes, then he
proceeded in making love to me.... Which I
declined....
'ok, so...........? I asked.
' I regret why I declined.... Collins Is a very nice
guy....
He Is hurt at my actions.... But I'm just scared!
Scared of STDs, scared of pregnancy..... Etc....
I then suggested we go for test first, before we do
anything.... Vera said.....
'Why is he hurt na? Abegi, you did the right thing
jare....
Na wa o for guys..... I said patting her at her
shoulder....
'I'm surprised Collins left without talking to me....
Vera said.
'early this morning, he just started putting his
things in order and dropped some money for
me,.....
I refused collecting the money... I'm not a
prostitute, and after all he didn't do anything to
me..... Vera continued...
'as in you left the money there for him? I asked in
amazement.
'Yea, and he collected it..... She said.....
'then he told me he is leaving, that when I
freshen up, I can leave too.... That was all he
said to me.... Vera cried..
'hmmmm, calm down baby girl.... That guy ain't
real! He is a fuck boy! Very stupid boy I raged!
'calm down you hear.....
But right in my mind, I was so happy..... At least
make i rest from all these Collins noise here and
there.... Haba.... I giggled.
'ehe , by the way, guess who I saw at the
supermarket today...... I turned to Vera smiling
sheepishly...
'Who? Vera asked quietly.
'Desmond.. I chuckled....
'oh really? That's nice... How's he doing na?
Can't remember when last I picked his call sef...
.. Vera said.... I forgot to tell you sef, he asked
me out and gave me time to think about it.... But
i told him I have a boyfriend yet he won't give
up.
'really, don't agree ooo.... I replied Vera.
'Why? She asked in curiosity.
'Because he is a driver! Desmond is a driver to a
rich family..... Though he is a graduate but Nne,
he doesn't have money na.....
We need to be upgrading and not denoting
ourselves......
I gisted Vera everything, and immediately she
deleted Desmond's number from her phone.....
Vera said Collins hasn't called her to at least tell
her he arrived safely and he isn't picking her calls
either...
It broke her down. She wasn't that lively again...
Is he just wanted to hear Collins voice.
Then her phone rang...... She rushed to pick
without looking at the number......she
was Collins maybe he used someone else's line
as the number wasn't saved..
It was Desmond....
Desmond thanked God that she picked his call
today as he has been calling her since morning
and she didn't pick..
Probably that was when she was still in the
hotel....
My friend broke down. She kept dialing Collins
number, yet he had refused to pick....
After some days, I was tempted to steal Collins
number from her phone and try my luck.
I succeeded and at first I lied to him about being
an old friend of his..
I immediately changed my whatsapp profile pix so
he won't know I'm the one..
That was how my story with Collins began..
To be continued......
