"What took you so long?" Bimbo frowned as she opened the car door and got into the passenger seat.
"And Bankole couldn't take you home because?" Halima replied sternly. She was not having any of her bickering, at least not tonight.
"Okay... Why so grumpy?" Bimbo asked. "And whose car is this?"
"Just shut up and mind your business abeg!... You should be happy I even came to pick you up"... She started to drive as soon as bimbo closed the door.
"Please don't tell me you've gone back to one of them sugar daddies Halima"
"Who are you to judge me?" Halima retorted... "I'm not the one entertaining two love interests at the same time"
"Now when you say it like that, it looks bad. And you know that is not what it is"
"I don't know why you're being so defensive about this stuff... I mean the man is obviously in love with you. And from the looks of it, you seem to have caught some feelings yourself"
"Come on! That's ridiculous!__" Bimbo tried to protest...
"You know I'm right" Halima interrupted before she could continue... "And its not like its a bad thing"... "For someone who hasn't had much luck with men, you are in quite an enviable place right now. Two very eligible and responsible bachelors are courting you. If that is not grace, then I don't know what is"
"You know its funny when I think about it, which makes me wonder if his intentions are pure."
"What is there to wonder?" Halima asked.... "Uncle flew you halfway across the country just to spend time with you for crying out loud!"
"Well for starters, this guy was a complete asshole when we first met and then all of a sudden he's playing lover boy. And besides what makes you think he doesn't fly other women across the country? Or even across the continent sef. You needed to see the way ladies were throwing themselves at him today"
"Is that jealousy I smell?" Halima teased...
"Not even in your wildest dreams!" Bimbo hissed.
"Okay I see your point... But all I'm saying is... Don't put all your eggs in one basket"
"And talking about eggs..." Bimbo seized her opportunity to change the topic... "You look so bright nowadays. You're having sex again aren't you?"
Halima couldn't help her laughter...
"You know for someone so secretive about her love life, you don't ever mind your business"
"You're still not going to tell me whose car this is abi?"
"What if it was mine?"
"Then who gifted it to you because I know you cannot afford this car right now"....... " Halima! You have started hiding things from me and it's not fair!"
"See who's talking" Halima was grinning from ear to ear. But she knew she wasn't ready for bimbo to find out about her new man... "Well.... There is someone__"
"Sugar daddy?" Bimbo interjected..
"No na... I'm done with that life. But we just started to get to know each other and I want to be sure about him first before introducing him to my friends"
"Hmm... Okay oooo" Bimbo conceded.
"But whoever this mystery man is, he seems to be doing a good job"
"Na you sabi... Does Emeka know you're coming to his place?"
"Yeah, called him earlier" Bimbo caught herself smiling. She had missed him and for no particular reason but she just felt the need to be around him.
"So you would end up spending today with two men...look at you living the dream."
"Yeah whatever.." Bimbo retorted.. "Like you haven't done worse"
