Loved By Teju

Chapter One

Seye, Seye , Seye

We are going to be late oo

Kaisha kept on screaming my name, I knew if I took one more minute she would bite my head off,

Here I am ooo, stop screaming my name, it's not like I am in the next building na. Where are the others?

Who?,  you mean those late comers, they said they were going to be here 20minites ago and we are still waiting for them,

I looked at her face and even though I knew she was upset, I couldn't help but admire her dress, it looked so pretty on her.

What are you looking at, Kaisha asked?
You are admiring the dress you made abi,
Yes, I looked at her face and smiled, You look gorgeous.

Thank you, I hope to snatch a man for myself today oo.

I laughed, all my friends always wanted to snatch one man or the other and those men always ended up paying their bills till my girls gets tired of them and dump them.

I heard a knock at the door and I knew, Roslyn and Temi had arrived because Queen never knocked and she was coming with Shalewa.

Come in....I screamed, so they would hear me beyond the door,
Welcome guys, how are you,

They both engulf me in a tight hug until i tapped their back
Coughing and clearing my throat, I threw both of them a glance,
Kilode, Do you want to kill me ni.
Laughing they moved along and did the same for Kaisha.

Wow, I said, you guys look so beautiful, who dressed you?

Damije of course, Temi replied, qwho else would design the daughter of Bamiloye Thomas, no offence Seye.

Oh it's all right, One day I am also going to be greater by God's grace.

Guys we are getting late....where is Queen and Shalewa.
Why don't we wait for them outside I suggested, the light was soon to go off and I really did not want my friends here when it did so there would be no catastrophe, like someone's dress getting torn, especially on this night.

Okay, let's go outside, We all went outside my flat and saw Queen about to park her car, We waved and waited for her to park her newest Ford
We all greeted each other and moved on to our transport vehicles.

When we got to the VIP party, we all handed in our Invitation cards and looked for a table where we could all sit together.
The garden was so beautiful, the decorators surely must have put in a lot of work..If only the had given me the money they used for this party, my business would grow, I pinched myself, this was not a night for self pity
I noticed a lot of celebrities were here, I felt so glad to be here, I really wanted time with the girls and to connect with other people. Besides, i was already documenting all the unique styles I saw and thinking about my next design,So I kept on looking around,

Until I noticed a guy looking at me, I noticed His table was quite far from ours so I couldn't see his face properly His table was surrounded by Bodyguards, I guess he must be a celebrity, I had special feelings for few of them, because most of them lived fake lives.

I was sitting and chatting with Queen tilled she softly screamed, I was so scared ,I asked

What's wrong Queen?. She wasn't talking, just looking with her eyes bulging out, Queen, are you okay?, Is something wrong?

That's him, pointing to someone at the VIP table, He just looked at me, Oh my , He just looked at me.

I switched to pidgin instantly
Wetin do you, why you dey scream, Who look you?

She looked at me and gave me a look to shush me, Shalewa and the others also looked at the table Queen pointed to and also screamed

What's happening, I was totally lost, So I asked them, What exactly is wrong with you guys

That's Teju Joseph, Temi exclaimed! Who is Teju Joseph I asked, they all turned to look at me, giving me weird looks, seriously, I took my drink, Who is He?

Wait' Kaisha Said,  Dont you know the Joseph Family?

Ioseph Family, who dem be, I asked

Seriously Seye, stop speaking pidgin, we are at a VIP Party please.

Ohh sorry Kaisha, so who is this Teju Joseph, I sipped my drink and looked at them fully to hear their tale.
And at the same time they all said

He is a billionaire...one said
He is the most Handsome Guy in Joseph Family...another said
He is the one I am crushing on...another said
He is the highest prize now
He is Tomide Joseph's Cousin..the last one said

Wait, I snickered ..Of course He is a billionaire, don't you guys have enough mooney, Your Fathers are CEOs Managers, Politicians Money Shinanigan

It's not about the Money, Shalewa said
He's Hot Roslyn said
He's Sexy Temi said
He's the best prize, Kaisa Said.

Okay, but there are lots of guys who are also Handsome, hot and so on, why is this one so popular?
Wait, Shalewa said, Let me break it down, she looked at me and asked, Have you ever heard of the Joseph's Family

Of course, the billionaire group, I know of Tomide Joseph and her best friend Tomiwa Badmus
Good at least she knows something, Temi said looking at me with a disapproving eye.

Please keep quiet joor, I told Temi, Continue Shaly baby

Stop calling me that name Seye, if no man comes to me tonight after my La Belle dress ,you will marry me
Anyways, you know all of the Joseph's Family members are married

Oh really, I don't follow celebrities like that you know me

Seyee, first of all Tomide Joseph is not just a celebrity  She is a big billionaire, she owns half of the companies in Africa and Europe, She's a Big woman you need to know all these things incase you have a great opportunity.

Okay, I will become more socially aware but are you telling me about Tomide Joseph or Teju Joseph

Impatient girl, Teju is her cousin, the Last bachelor in the Joseph Family, that's why he is such a prize and the guy never acknowledges any woman, Figure 8 or not... why do you think Kaisha requested for that dress, she pointed to Kaisha, She came to steal the man ni, she said laughing

Please no one is stealing my man, Queen said.
I laughed, so you guys are laying your claim to a bachelor, do you know if he has a secret fiancee somewhere?

No, he does not, Queen said
I would know.

Wow, you guys are really serious oo
Anyways we have to enjoy this night, it's been so long all six of us went out to have fun, so for now forget about Me Hot, Sexy Billionaire and let's focus on us.
Okay, it's actually true Temi agreed

As we began discussing what was happening in our lives, I looked back to the VIP table and saw the same guy from earlier still staring

I didn't know the night had just started.
