Episode 14

Days later, I got a call from him.
“You know I’m travelling next weekend and I really wish we could meet
one more time before I leave” he said
“Is that really necessary, we can talk on phone” I said
“Daniella, I really had a nice time the other day can you please oblige
me?”
“I told you I’m always busy during the week, there’s no way I can meet
up with you”
“Are you saying I won’t get to see you before leaving?”
“When exactly are you leaving?”
“On Saturday”
“Ok, let’s do it this way, we could meet on Saturday at the Airport and
keep you company until your flight is ready to take off”
“That idea is not bad, I’m happy you’ll be the last person I’ll see before I
leave but I would have loved it if we meet before then” he said.
“Sorry about that”
“Promise me you’ll find time to chat with me everyday online before
saturday”
“Promise”
“Good, thanks”
“We’ll see on Saturday”
“Saturday it is then, good night and sleep tight”
“Good night” I said and the line went off.

Seriously, I don’t trust all this America based Nigerian guys, some just
come down to Nigeria and trick girls, some will even claim single when
they are happily married with kids over there. But there’s something
about Daniel that seems different. He sounds honest, sincere and I think
he’s transparent. You can read him like a book. I feel safe with him as a
friend.
During the week, we chatted online, I don’t know why but I feel free with
him, we talked about so many things via chat. He also made it a point
of duty to call everyday during the week.
On Saturday, I left my house for Muritala Mohammed Airport. I called
him when I got there and he told me where to meet him.
He was so happy when he saw me, Mr Paul was with him too. He
hugged me, I greeted Mr Paul when he released me.
“Looking beautiful as ever”
“Thanks, you are not looking bad yourself” I said shyly
We sat at the departure, Mr Paul got us some light refreshments.
“I’m coming back next month by God’s grace” he said
“Are you coming back finally” I asked
“Yes, my IT company is kicking off next month, we’ve succeeded in
putting everything in place, thanks to God and off course Mr Paul has
been of great help”
“That’s nice, I’m happy for you. Thank you Mr Paul” I said facing him.
“Thank God, I’m glad everything turned out well too”
I got to know that Mr Paul owns one of the most prominent IT firm in
Lagos
“Daniella! I already told Mr Paul to get me an accommodation before I
come back so I won’t have to stay in the hotel when I return” Daniel
explained.
“That’s good, you already have everything planned out” I said.
We all continue chatting, Mr Paul asked for my number and we both
exchanged numbers. He also gave me his complimentary card.
By 7pm, the public address system announced his flight.
“I guess it’s goodbye” I said
“Yes, and I’m going to miss you and Mr Paul. You guys really made my
stay in Nigeria worthwhile”
“I think you’ll miss Mr Paul more, since you are always together since
you came to Nigeria. This is my second time of setting my eyes on you “
I said
“You think so, I don’t feel like we just met, I felt like I’ve known you
since forever” Daniel countered
“Really! If that’s the case don’t miss me too much then” I said playfully.
“I’ll try not to, he said holding my cheek gently with his hands”
“It’s time to go” Mr Paul announced
“Mr Paul can you please help me take her home” Daniel requested.
“Sure I will” Mr Paul replied him.
Daniel hugged me and whispered slowly into my ears “I will be back”
“I’ll be expecting you” I whispered into his ears too.
