Its been an hour since we got here and i have not been able to find anything that i like. We have been going in and out of shops like people without direction for the past hour and we haven't found anything that i like. I'm even surprised because i really don't have a peculiar taste when it comes with clothes. As long as it fit and i like it then I'm good to go. That is why i am shocked that i haven't found anything yet.
"what if we try another place entirely" he asks me and i sigh. I just want a dress so i can go home and rest, i think to myself. i am surprised i can even think seeing as they have Kulosa by Oxlade on full blast
"one more shop, if nothing then we can leave" i suggest and he nods in agreement. I continued my walk towards the lift so i can move to the next floor but before i could even reach it, Ogochukwu held my hand and began dragging me
"what?" i ask
"i think i found the perfect dress for you" he says as he keeps dragging me. we stop in front of a shop with the name 'Events'. Why the hell will someone name a dress shop Events? anyways, i raise my brow at him and he just responds with a full on grin and drags me inside.
he turns to the worker who greets us and points at a dress and is that green?
"yes it is" he answers and i turn to him
"did i think aloud?" i ask and he nods, i smile sheepishly
The shop attendant brought the dress and while it looks good but I'm not a fan of the colour, so i look at him like 'no'
"just try it on" he says shoving the dress in my hand. i take it but made sure i eyed him like my life depends on it before disappearing into the dressing room
the dressing room isn't much, it's like a toilet with two mirrors on the wall and a cloth hanger with a bench instead of a WC.
i try on the dress and i am wowed by how good it looks on me. the colour complements my ski8n tone in the most beautiful way and it has 'shine-shine'(shimmers) on it and i am loving how it's tube like. not to forget that i think i have the perfect clutch bag that will go well with it at home. That sly man really has a good eye, and speaking of the devil, i hear him calling
"come out lets see the dress na, even if you don't like it, come out first" he calls and i just roll my eyes at his impatience and annoyance
i walk out and the shop attendant just starts smiling making me raise my brow. i turn to look at Ogochukwu and the grin he has on his face, i have never seen on him " why all the teeth?" i ask him
"it seems this dress was tailored just for you" ha answers and i look at him like 'what are you even saying' but he ignores my stares and just continues "shebi i told you i found the perfect cloth for you, you thought i was joking. i have eyes for these things" he boasts and i just scoff hiding my smile
"it really fits you" the shop attendant says with a bright smile and i smile back at her because it actually is true, the dress does fit me.
we told the lady to package it for us. as we were moving to the counter i remembered something
"aren't you getting something for yourself?"
"No, i already have something picked out" he says and i nod
at the counter, it was a battle of who will pay. when we got there i stretched my card to pay for my dress but this man snatched it from my hand and gave the lady his instead. it was not funny
'Ogochukwu give me back my card" i told him then turned to the lady "please don't use his card, I'm paying with mine" she smile and nodded
"no, use mine please, i saw the dress so i should pay for it" was his oh so smart argument
"that doesn't even make sense, give her my card. you know what - i stop stretching my hand to drag my card out of his grasp and turn to the lady - can i scan my payment to you or do you accept transfer?"
just then something so - should i say cliche just happened and i swear i didn't know how to feel.
Ogo placed his hand on my mouth and spun me so i could hug him while he held me in place with his embrace and i backed the cashier
"please use my card, thank you" he says to the lady and before i could struggle out of his hold he had already paid
We thanked the lady and left the place, well i left angry and he was grinning which annoyed me the more. Don't get me wrong, i love that he offered to pay, it's quite nice of him but i don't want him to waste money on a dress that i will not wear more than once
"Ala, ala... young lady are you mad at me?" he asks so sweetly but i ignore him. he stops me in my track and holds my hand which resulted in people staring, which also resulted in me looking round with my eyes like a mad person and then finally i dragged my hands from his after i moved my eyes to our hands and realised it was the reason why people kept staring. i think he may have noticed because he let go and came to give me a side hug
"Ala.. Ala, Tamuno-ala" he kept calling till i snapped out of it
"mmm" was my quick reply
"you zoned out and it seems it was my fault, your anxiety kicked in" he says "i am sorry, but wanted to get that dress for you the minute i saw how amazing it looked on you. It has nothing to do with alpha male or stuff like that. I just want to get a nice dress for you so please don't be mad at me" he added
"it's okay, i just didn't want you to waste money on me unnecessarily"
"necessary or unnecessary, that is for me to judge and waste and i am sorry for kick starting your anxiety here "he apologises and i nod as show of acceptance
"okay - he claps his hand - let us go and eat 'i dey hungry'"

We are almost at the end of the book and i am so excited. The next last chapters might be short, please bear with me.
As for the pidgin English;
shebi means right? i think so, so (depending on the context you're using it. plus it has a wide spectrum of meanings, again, depending on context)
i dey hungry means i am hungry
goodnight as it is currently 12:31 am here
don't forget, I love you, Jesus loves you, stay healthy and God bless you
