I spent the rest of my work hours in the office
I even missed lunch time I was determined to clear up the closest and make my very own office outta it.
"Kin Gama" Haidar stood by the door
"Yeah just one more minute..." I reached for a box at the top shelf. my fingertips are right on the box all I have to do is stretch a little more
"Short stuff" Haidar came behind me and dragged the box off the shelf
How cliche!
"Oh whatever..." I rolled my eyes
I opened the box while he stood next to me
I filled it up with some papers and sealed it.
"Na gama..." I said wiping sweat off my face
"Muje Koh?" He said
Hmm I guess Aunty ummie left me with Haidar.
"Yeah..." I grabbed my hand bag and followed right after him.
"I need a ride guys" Asmee stopped on our track to the parking lot
"Shiga muje(enter let's go)..."Haidar said Very dryly
I guess the beef is still there.
Now the sitting arrangement if it had been only Haidar and I
Then I'd seat in front with him
But now that Asmee his best friend is here should I sit at the back
Or??
But nah the girl answered my questions
She quickly went in for the front seat while Haidar went round the car to driving seat. Asmee got in and Made her self comfy on my spot
"Hey Laila... you driving" Haidar tossed the car keys to me
It was unexpected I didn't even catch it
It fell in the floor. I picked up and before I could argue or deny his request Whether it was command
He got in the back seat .
I guess I'm driving.
Asmee was hell surprised
"Laila you drive?" She asked
"Yeah... " I awkwardly said turning the ignition.
"I'll just drop by the next corner..." Asmee said
"Olright..." I drove out of the building
No nobody is talking
Haidar is keeping quite while Asmee is stealing quick glances at him time to time.
Hmmm I can feel the tension
"This place would do..." She informed me
I made a turn and parked while she got out
"Bye Asmee..." I tried with a smile
"Haidar, Laila
Byeee" she shot the door and walked away.
Haidar didn't even look her way.
"Seriously!" I gave him the eye
"What?" He asked pretending not to know the situation
"Never mind" I don't want him to lick my hand again
Imma mind my business
"Now where too?" I'm still not conversant with the Abuja road yet.
"Just drive straight ahead
And speed up a little your driving is boring.." he teased
I like driving but not being a driver
Mah niggah sat behind while I was driving
is he paying me for this!?
As usual I heard left, left, right, right directions from behind me
Very annoyingly but I just kept quite.
"Inna ne nan(where's here)..." I asked as I parked it car .
"My place mana ...kin manta(have you forgotten)?"
His place
Not again
Not again
Whyyy...
"Eh?" I was dumbstruck
"Aunty said I should babysit you again... "
babysit!
"We can use this time to start planning the wedding ko?" I said following him right up the stairs
I've been here before
But it was dark and raining
Today it's bright and I have to say the building is lovely.
