Episode: 4
It was a cool Tuesday morning, I woke up to be the sound of the alarm snoring from my phone. I got up and snoozed the alarm, I looked at the bed and saw my roommate still sleeping like palm oil. I woke him up. "So it's 6:00am already" he asked amidst his yawn "time really flies, especially at nights" he added. I walked up to my mini bookshelf and took my Bible, I read my devotional book and prayed silently: I put my ways before the lord for the week. I went to the bathroom, brushed my teeth and then took my bath. I had to go to school early, my lectures would start by 8:00am and I don't like sitting at the back. I dressed up and gathered my books and files that I would need. I picked my ATM card too. I passed the public primary school compound near my hostel. I got to the bus stop where I'll get a cab to convey me to the schooling. I had seen few of my friends, they haven't prepared for school. I shook my head to pity when I saw them. I looked at the time, it was fifteen minutes past seven. "I'm late, mehn. Damn!" I said to myself as I entered a shuttle. I sat at the front seat, a lady soon joined me. We exchanged greetings and the car zoomed off. In no time, I found myself scanning her from head to toe. Her boobs were of moderate sizes, the type you could easily pack. I couldn't access her ass because she was sitting down but I promised to do so when we drop at the park. Poor me, I thought, instead of me memorizing the first thirty elements, I'm here admiring boobs. Shame on me.
I highlighted at the school park and headed for the lecture theatre straight. I didn't remember to complete my scan on the girl because I was running out of time. I wasn't prepared to wait or walk with anyone so I walked as fast as I could with my earpiece fixed firmly in my ears. I was out of this world. As I was walking, I felt a hand on my shoulder pulling me backwards, I looked back and found out it was favour. She was panting, breathing heavily as if a dog chased her. "Favour, what's up?" I said smiling at her. "I'm not fine" she replied smartly. "I've been calling you since you highlighted from the shuttle, you didn't answer me" she said sounding like a baby "I'm sorry" I replied "I didn't hear you and I was walking very fast so that I can get a seat at the front of the class" "see" I said removing my earpiece from my ears to prove that it wasn't intentional. "It's okay" she replied and we headed for the class together.
I haven't seen favour since the last incidence ensured. We exchanged contacts that same moment. We got to class and the lecturer came, did his thing, performed his magic and uttered some spells which sounded like an explanation to him bla bla bla and he left the class. After the class, I left for the eatery, (the one at motion ground) to get myself something to eat, I ordered for a meat pie and a coca cola drink. As I was devouring my refreshments, I sighted the three jolly friends outside. They were coming towards the eatery too. I waved and called their names repeatedly. They came in, Eniola saw me and they came to where I was sitting. God so good, there were just three seats available around me. No vacancy for any external force. They sat down and we exchanged greetings. "Ayodeji" Eniola said (I loved the way she called my name, It is only my mom that calls me by my full name. Others shorten my name to either Ayo or Deji). "Today is February thirteenth and tomorrow is February fourteenth" she paused for a while. "Is tomorrow your birthday?" I asked anxiously. "Noooo, tomorrow is Valentine, love's day and I'm your val. So you're taking me out tomorrow" she said authoritatively. I opened my bag and bring my diary out to check the appointments for February fourteenth, I read it aloud and clear and I made it point blank. "I'll finish lecture by 6:00pm in the evening and I'll be exhausted by the time when I get back to my hostel "I'll be quite tired". She wasn't interested in any of my excuses. We agreed to go to item7 to celebrate the love day.
We finished our refreshments, I went out settle the bill of four. "Eniola, are you going home now?" I asked. "Yes, I am, what about you?" She asked too. "I'm going too". I said nodding my head in affirmation like a lizard.
We walked together towards the park with our hands clasped in each other. We spoke and laugh at intervals; we had totally forgotten that Doyin and Funmi were behind us. "Bros, now you're taking our friend away from us" Doyin said from a distance behind us". I didn't bother to give her a reply, I just ignored and moved on with my friend. "Don't mind her dear" Eniola gently whispered.
