Charm- rema. A short story.

Chapter 3: The Big challenge

At the end of the day, the goal was achieved. Even though I've to treat a bunch of people for free lunch, at least they helped me drag Cynthia down along with them. The money wasn't a problem though, they ordered for whatever they wanted and I paid for em all, I even paid for some of the girls we met at the canteen, I ended up spending about 150k which is a normal thing for me.

While I was in the cycle of Cynthia and her troopes, I didn't talk about my interest towards her instead I brought up diverse topics: especially the latest event now which is about our dearest president Tinubu Aka Bala Blue, ascending his throne and trust me before I knew it the whole table was filled with laughter.

Everyone just have something funny to say about that old man and for the first time I got to see Cynthia laughs; not like she haven't laughed before but this time—she was laughing at my jokes. I finally made her laugh and what's more? She was now chatting casually with me like the rest of her friends; not like the yahoo boy she despise. The boy that doesn't fit her in her cycle. Mission number one accomplished!

After that day, things improved. Cynthia began warming up to me as a friend, she was seeing that there was more to me that wanting to sleep with her-at least I made her believe that- I sha stopped attending the fellowships but we met on different basis.

We even chats casually on phone, seeing her smile everything was bustling my bololo that it becomes so difficult to hold myself but not wanting to spoil show, I never hinted on sex or anything close to it. I'd to make sure she'd completely fall for my charms—in a sexual way. Even though it'd take time, the plan is to make her off clothes las las.

Since she wasn't someone who isn't really charmed with money, I put my charisma into use.

I always cracks jokes around her which always earn me that beautiful smile of hers and I also makes sure she gets a good measure of my smiles during our video calls and my eyes which is capable of hypnotizing and yes we upgraded to video.

When I know I was getting a green card is when I flatters her with her sexual features, especially her big nyash (Ass) and bwess she just laughs instead of throwing tantrums like before.

And bro just when I was contemplating on finally shooting my shot by inviting her to my house, I heard that she's has started dating.

I first heard it from Davemanni (the news breaker in our midst) on one morning like that. We all together in big Palour, focused on our laptops as we were in our hustle mode but David decides to be doing something different; browsing Facebook.

"Afar guy, No be your babe be this?" At first I didn't know he was talking to me so I kept doing what I'm doing. And I don't officially even have a babe.

"Donald! I dey talk to you na." He nudged me with his hands and when I turn to him I wanted to explode on his face but pause when I saw what he was showing me. A picture of Cynthia and some guy.

They were doing lovey Dovey stuffs and some love captions like that but I didn't want to believe that it was what I was thinking until I went to confirm from her roomies which were her two friends and they told me, she'd been dating that guy for quite some time now and wo, I para.

I didn't bother to even confront Cynthia instead I made sure I find the guy around campus and it wasn't that hard. His name was Noah Kolawole, a 400 level student and a gentle-man who obviously fit into Cynthia spec of guys. But I don't care. It's not like I want a serious relationship with her but this guy Noah  would be a hindrance so I find him and warned him to stay away from Cynthia.

The fact that everyone in campus already believes that me and Cynthia are dating was easier to make him comprehend, I even gave him N5,000,000 on top of it but the ozuwo (idiot) didn't want to comply. He rejected my money and He also had his reasons for insisting that he can't break up with Cynthia— reasons I didn't care about.

I warned him again, again, and I kept warning him to break up with Cynthia wherever I sees him but the Audacity of the guy to keep flaunting Cynthia everywhere he goes. It was like he was daring me to do my worst. Like -what would a hundred level student do to a final year student- kind of thing. Cynthia wasn't even giving me face anymore as before.

Well, as a lover of Vawulence I decided to act. I love challenges and I don't back down. The first thing I did was quite silly though: I burnt down his kekebush car. I actually paid some boys in my department a whooping sum of money and they'd the job done. He suspected me, confronted me and I didn't bother to deny it.

The way he dragged the issue like he lost his entire life asset, only made him an object for gossips and mockery  for everyone in campus like the guy was ready to die for his car. I expected him to take revenge by burning my car too but he didn't. How many would he even burn? And well, guess he knows even if he burns down everyone of them today, they'd be replaced ASAP.

However, I still felt defeated because  the whole thing  didn't affect his relationship with Cynthia even though she've to trek round the world with him, instead it earned me hatred from Cynthia. But as a guy who never gives up, I shoot again.

This time I gathered boys-not just any boys but cultists. No I'm not a part of them but with money: everything is at your disposal. Besides some of the boys in the HK are friends with some of theVikings; mike even introduced me to their 01 sometime ago.
All of them holding different weapons, I broke in with them into Noah's  lodge. They were about 6 of them and they were on their berets.

As soon as Noah  saw them, he couldn't hide his fear. Who wouldn't cower at the mere sight of the Vikings how much more them being in your house with machetes and all of that.

I didn't have to explain anything before he knows what's about to go down, the only thing I said was "I didn't plan to come this far but you pushed me to my limits."

"So you think this is the best approach on a girl huh?!" And the guy was still forming idan but it didn't take long before that pride was broken by the time the boys descended on him.

I sat on the couch like a king, leg crossed watching them do their thing. First, they rounded him casting some incantations and before you know it, things got bloody.

Together, They group beat the guy to stupor, blowing him, kicking him. Matching him down. Hitting him with the back of the cutlass. It could hear his ribs breaking, there were blood all over him and he was soon crying for them to let him go. Begging me with tears to tell them to stop. As he kept crying in pain he finally said what I wanted to hear, he promise to stay clear from Cynthia henceforth. I smirked. I think say the guy wan act oyibo film for me o  (And I thought he wanted to Act a foreign movie) where the man of the day is ready to die for love. Tsk!

Before the boys could end up killing him, I had to stopped them and we left him battered on the ground. Before I left, I warned him that if I see him again with Cynthia then he'll have to face the Vikings. I paid the boys A sum of N2m which is double of what I'd promised them and deal closed. I'm not quite friends with them anyways.
