Old Maid

Chapter 8

Nothing beats sleeping in on a weekend; absolutely nothing. just me in my one-sided beneficial relationship with my plushy bed.....or maybe there is in fact something better arising to the sweet smell of coffee.....wait what, smell of coffee???

Did mum come to my house unannounced again? no...no she would have woken me up for sure.

 Oh...my...God! there is an intruder in my house!! i rose up with a start.

" E be like say I don dey see  double oo" abi did I sit up too quick

Silk sheets, Velvet curtains, a Work Desk and a White Door. Its either I am not in my house or the intruder did some redesigning while I was out cold.

Hahahaha...... where the hell am I and whose clothes are these?

Damn!! This is why I don't drink.

May be Tunrayo took me home...........That's not right..... Tunrayo is neither an Architect nor Engineer; she wouldn't have a work table in her bedroom.

Where on Earth am I? I raised my hands to my head and gave out a big sigh.

My phone....yeah! Where is it?? I finally found it at on the side table and called Tobi.

"Where are you guys? I called into the phone.

Is that a trick question? Abeg I am  nursing a bad headache and I will appreciate it if you did not talk so loudly.

Seriously Tobi where are you?

At the Hotel of course, we'll checkout after breakfast.

Annnd...where am I?

Egbami!! She exclaimed,

Gbemi are you still drunk on yesterday? How in God's name am I supposed to know where you are?......

At that moment there was a creak at the door.

"Did you not say you would call a cab and go home yourself when the rest of us left to continue our party elsewhere yesterday?"

I did?  I said facing the door to see the cause of the creak standing at 6'2 inches of gorgeous. I literally had to blink twice and actively put down my phone, all memories of calls forgotten.

I suppose I am in your bed... I said to him more like an assertion rather than a question; to which, he nodded anyways.

An.......d you changed my clothes?? This time it was definitely a question.

Well I wasn't going to let you sleep on my silks in your sweats and drinks covered party dress now was I? was his smart reply.

ow....was all I could muster as my words betrayed me.

breakfast is served if you will like some.

I still don't know your name. I stated as I got up the bed to go get me some of that breakfast.

Getting out of the room I observed the house a nice little bachelor pad but for the life of me, I couldn't understand the bubble gum aroma that lingered in the air but I couldn't be bothered either; mama's gotta get herself some coffee!!

I followed him to the direction of what I suppose is the dinning area. It was no sooner than I was on the table that I grabbed the jar filled with coffee and plated myself a few slices of bread and eggs.  i was about to scoop my third spoon of sugar when a throat  scratching stopped me. I looked up and standing in front of me was a woman who I would soon know as Sumbo.

My immediate thoughts were so she's the source of the bubble gum aroma. Then it escalated to if he had a woman at home why did he let me sleep in his room? And more importantly why did she let him?? The wheels in my head kept turning.

Umm.....that's Sumbo she changed you when we returned earlier. The voice belonging to a man whose name I still didn't know called called from beside me.

"These people are weird sha" I thought in my mind "iru kini mo ko ara mii sii bayii".

I guess I had a look on my face because he spoke again this time as if he was trying to deny some accusations "oh God no! he looked down and raised his head again and said; "no Sumbo is my sister. She is visiting for a few days".

Guy do you know me? Why are you being so familiar? like I said earlier, I still don't know your name!!!!!!!!

Ouch! brother she dissed you bad.

Anyways I am Sumbo and I can tell we are going to be good friends and that dickhead, is my twin brother Shile. I know we don't look it cos we are fraternal. Sumbo said giggling.

She then turned to me and whispered; he doesn't like to tell people he is a twin. he has some kind of older brother syndrome.

I am soo heartbroken Shile said; dramatically holding on to his chest like it was going to drop at any moment. You Sumbo I don't even blame you because you don't have sense, but you my dear, I thought we had fun yesterday; I even gave up my bed for you.

Hahahahahaha........I couldn't hold back my laughter. That was just so hilarious I could have sworn he actually had fake despair in his eyes. Sumbo soon joined in and then Shile too.

 it was such a fun unintentional  sleepover and i don't mind them at all.
