Wallclock's P.O.V

Sheila returned home screaming.. "Elorm oh Elorm!!!!! You won't believe I had about 3,000 likes on Instagram today! You see, my dear! I am a celebrity now. You should treat me with respect! Who is the princess of Indian series?"

"Just 3,000, and you call yourself a celebrity? My dear, have you seen the number of likes Harry Styles gets within a second for posting an ordinary picture of his sneakers?"

"Well, I can't compare myself to Harry, that's why I am not even bragging in front of him. He's a huge superstar, who doesn't know of my existence. We are not on the same scale at all.... But you! You my colleague, tell me how many likes you got for your lastest post on Instagram? After wearing that expensive suit and overdressing, plus numerous hash tags, how many likes were you able to acquire for yourself? Remind me? 160?...."

"Madam celeb, unlike you, I don't eat "likes" for breakfast. I eat Hausa porridge and burf loaf....., he said unbuttoning his shirt and taking of his trousers. His boxer shorts were brand new and blue.

"Its funny but you know you actually eat "likes" for breakfast. You host a TV show called Insta-glam, all the fabulous interviews you have with the celebs... you guys discuss what's trending on Instagram and Twitter...and 160?...that's all the likes you can acquire for us? Wait till your sponsors realize your show is not yielding much public attention....you will starve to death!"

"I won't starve to death please! I'm actually not happy with that stupid girlish show in the first place. What's worse is I don't even like Instagram. If Cruella doesn't understand, she should come and host the show herself!!"

"Elorm, don't even start dragging gender into this? Where is it written that only females should host celebrity entertainment shows!"

"Mauvie the motivator hosts fresh juice, Berla Mundi hosts glitteratzzi....need I say more! You girls virtually sleep on Instagram, and you are the ones who love gossip! I'm okay working with the productions team of Know the Law...that's fine..."

"Then you should leave the show and let someone passionate about celebrity gossip on social media do it!"

"I have said that in English, French, Twi, Swahili, Ga, Fante, Ewe, Pidgin, Sign language and 100 other languages but Cruella still cannot understand!!! She wants me to do that show because she says I'm good looking... But its not my fault I'm freaking hot!!!"

"What!! What? Hot is what you are not!!" Sheila scoffed.

This guy was standing half naked in front of Sheila, but she didn't seem to notice. For a guy she met less than two weeks ago, I felt she was being overly comfortable around him.

Sheila pulled out a small pink shirt from her wardrobe and a blue skirt from her bed. Elorm excused her for a moment, and when she was fully dressed, he returned into the room with pizza and ice cream. 

"Sit, let's eat. My girlfriend ordered pizza and ice cream for us. She's so grateful you have given me a place to lay my heavy head", Elorm said, spreading out the meal on the plastic table.

"Yaay! That's kind of her. Isn't she jealous you are living with another woman?" Sheila asked with raised eyebrows.

"Not at all, she knows how extremely faithful I can be....plus I told her you are ugly so..."

"You are crazy!!!" Sheila laughed.

They ate silently for about two minutes. At least these young people had some table etiquettes left in their sleazy brains. But Elorm broke the silence immediately, munching on the last slice of pizza.

"She will be coming over this weekend, to say hello to you and see for herself how ugly you look in person. Lamley watches Jodha Akbar like its some kind of blood tonic her life depended on. She never misses a dose and she absolutely loves Jodha chat room. She will be extremely happy to see you."

"I want to go to DNA! Like now?! Please....", Sheila announced.

"Sheila Anang were you even listening to me? I can't believe this!!" Elorm said with uttermost shock.

"Let's go!" She said trashing the leftovers and clearing the table. "I want to go there to clear my brain. Let me change my top".

"whooa.....wait Sheila don't tell me this is about Danny boy. You are not going to get anywhere with this!"

"E.L! Are you taking me to DNA or not!?"

"Who born dog?! DNA is my life on Friday nights, I just thought you wouldn't want to go there today that's why I settled for indoors, besides I didn't want to be a pain in the ass to madam landlord," Elorm explained.

"Landlady, you mean...."

They both laughed loudly. Elorm went into the parlour to dress up I guess humming one of Sarkodie's profane songs.

Sheila wore a very inappropriate top. It was like a fishing net. The net holes were huge, exposing her purple bra and chocolate cream skin. Not even a fisherman's wife would wear that kind of net...she also spent several hours applying make up on her face and straightening her hair.

"Sheila! Its just DNA we are going to! Why are you taking it so personally. Or you think we are attending some kind of festival celebrated by these Elmina people?"

"Say as you please, but the good news is...I am ready! Let me grab my purse!!"

"Let's go already! I'm sure by the time we get there, Dan would have left already and you will return home in shame!"

"I'm sorry, my cologne.... Oh..let's go now..I'm all set", she said as she run out of the room and locked the door. They headed down the street. It was a cold and lonely night for me. But I didn't know what awaited Sheila at that night club of iniquity. Sheila was metamorphosing into something scary...a club girl?

All because of this Elorm guy. Our ancestors were right when they said bad company corrupted good behavior.

...and that Daniel guy sure seemed like trouble. I hope he visits Sheila one of these days. I need to see him myself...yeah, let me be the judge.
