THERE'S A WAR COMING

There's a war , i feel it coming, there's fire and no one is running, this is what I've seen...

"...should i start to speak or keep it low key till everyone is in the scene?"

Breathe, puff, relief...

The evening was chilly, I decide to take a walk, so i head down to the bakery then to the grocery, but first, I stopped by 42 to play pool.

You know people play , people lose, i could win too.

GB: Oga! 90 90

OGA: 19 90..

GB: Oga! 90 90 . I will  be back for my money.

OGA : that is if you are lucky.

I stretched a hundred naira note towards him and headed straight to FLOUR TOWER

The cashier was quite friendly, the cakes were fluffy , and look who's there, it's TEA.

Seems she had already seen me and was waiting, so together we walked down the road.

"you wanna chill? I have Movies... Southpaw, straight out of compton... you choose"

Outside work, TEA doesn't talk much. I could see sophistication ... Oh! Bless everything she touch, her accent is 'frosh', we could be partners even outside work.

TEA: straight outta Compton, tomorrow is green day, won't you celebrate?

GB:  I would be home,, kushsing on my cushion, my guys could code in with loud music, OBT and shawties, that's celebration for me.

TEA:  you lonely fellow, don't you have a girl that make you mellow, the one making your red light turn yellow.

GB: trust me, if there was, i would be going home alone.

To be honest, i like Tea, her blue eyes under those lens, flawless her white has no dirt. She is slI'mand tall, my choice of cigarette, her smile 'no be here', it's like she was sent by a Mami-water goddesss.

We watched straight outta Compton first, south paw next, at this point, i had began to thirst for the juice in her lip. I should kiss those lips before independence.

She too seems to like me, to make it easier, she lean closer, resting her head on my shoulder, then came a kiss scene in the movie.  Like an entrepreneur i had my opportunity, i looked her straight in the face, removed her lens and kissed her lips. She didn't  resist, she's Tea.

Tea held me in the neck, kissing me passionately, she ends it with a peck.

TEA :  I  am your spec.

My head spark.

At the time, it was 10:01,afterdark.

TEA: lets go to town tomorrow, the stay-light are celebrating, this  time we would not have to be alone. You will come with me and i'll follow.
