I immediately spotted Abbah's car while approaching the car park, tucking my phone back to my pocket which I wanted using to call him for direction. I knocked at the car window and he came out
"Hey!" I greeted with a smile "Hello!" He greeted back chuckling looking everywhere but me "When would you stop been shy of me? It's been two years" I stated noticing how time flies
"I am not shy" "Says the guy who cannot look me in the eye" "I do you just don't notice" "Okay! Okay!!" I said not wanting to extend the conversation
"You look beautiful" he complimented "Ohh thank you! You too" I replied "I am not a girl" he pouted a bit and I laughed "It isn't a compliment for girls only" "I don't know, it sounds gayish" he said squinting his face "Okay, you look handsome babyna" I complimented "Much better". A guy approached us and I'm guessing it is Abbah's friend since he tagged a girl along with all smiling faces... the type couples do... how cute
"Hey! You're back" Abbah commented "Yes we are. Meet the love of my life Turai" his friend said wrapping his hands around her as she giggles.... usually I'd be like 'Aren't they supposed to be Muslims?' But I've seen a whole lot of things these past years... sooo yeahh... imma do the usual by minding my business
"And baby, meet my friend Abbah" he formally introduced "Nice meeting you" she said sticking her hand out, I glared at him, burning holes at the side of his face waiting for his reaction
"Nice meeting you too, sorry I don't do handshakes" he politely declined "Hugs then?" She offered spreading her hands "He's not with the hugs too" I finally interrupted
"And you're supposed to be?" She asked rudely "His woman" I replied with an attitude raising one of my eyebrow "Sorry I haven't introduced you guys yet" Abbah pleaded "Bashir meet my princess, Maryam. Maryam, Bashir and his girlfriend Turai" Abbah introduced us "Nice meeting you" Bashir said sticking his hand out too.... come on people.. What is wrong with y'all!
"I don't do handshakes too, nice meeting you two" I smiled
"There's a place not far from here, we could hang out" Bashir suggested "Yeah sure" Abbah agreed as I mouthed "I am not going" "Please just this once" Abbah whispered "I have a lot of stuff to do" I said "But tomorrow is Saturday" "Doesn't matter" I said as Bashir honked at us
"We don't wanna be late now,do we?" Bashir yelled "Please!" Abbah begged with his eyes "Okay, fine!" I said through gritted teeth " Yes!!!" He exclaimed and I rolled my eyes "Nigga what are you doing?" Abbah asked "Uhm...driving??" Bashir replied "Boy if you don't leave the wheel, I swear..." Abbah said "Guy relax abeg! Because of ordinary car" Bashir said moving to the back seat alongside with Turai
"Go buy your own na" Abbah responded as Bashir hissed

I'd forever regret my decisions of coming here. The boys got in an argument of what state is better, Kaduna or Kano? Stating what state has better capitals or roads or places of hanging out and even babes..... Boys!!
I don't know with the boys but I know I want to go back to the hostel and go and sleep jejely. Yawns has been escaping my mouth and I'm tired of covering my mouth.
As for Turai she got involved in their argument and got slammed simply because she said Abuja was better, she seemed pissed off ever since and was going through her phone.. I don't mean to be petty but serves her right, she has been giving me the hate look ever since we met. I mean Abbah is my man, I don't see anything wrong with claiming him
When they were fully satisfied with their argument, they remembered that they had girlfriends to attend to
"Hey darling" Abbah greeted "Hii bae" I smiled back at him "Baby?" Bashir called out for Turai but only got ignored
"Baby! I know you're mad, I'm sorry" Bashir tried sweet talking her "I thought you were ignoring me" she said not looking away from her phone "Haa! Me? Ignore you? Am I mad?? Baby you know I wouldn't do that deliberately"he said "Are you sure?" She asked smiling "Trust!" He said winking
"Come here" she said kissing him as I looked away... if only people had shame, but what can I do? Shaking my head "You guys are acting too malo-ish for my liking" she said "We're only doing what Allah said we should do" I responded "At this age of the world, it is the twenty fourth century, wake up people" she snapped her fingers "Exactly, makes judgement day seem even closer" I replied "Ughh! I can't with you guys" she rolled her eyes "So now you guys want to claim saint now abi! Are you both trying to say that you've never kissed before?" Bashir asked "No" Abbah replied "This shouldn't even be a question" I said disgusted as he laughed
"Abbah I don't like where this conversation is heading, I gotta go" I said walking away "Let me drive you back at least" Abbah spoke louder than normal and rushed to meet up "What are you guys doing?" Abbah asked "We have no intention to walk back to school " Bashir said with his arms wrapped around Turai
Our ride to school was short and comfortably silent
"Thanks for your time babe" Abbah smiled "Now come on hun, if I don't spend time with you, who would I spend it with?" I asked rhetorically smiling "Here" he handled boxes of chocolate to me "Again? It's too much" I said "It is not just for you, for your roommates too" "Awww how thoughtful of you" "Goodnight you too" I bade Bashir and Turai as I left for the hostel
My roommates kept praying for Abbah as they unwrap every chocolate box. Amanda saying how she wants a potential boo and Khadija begged I should breakup with him, so she could have him and Linda cussed 'Your fada' as we all laughed
"Maryam please come and escort me to buy airtime" Linda pleaded "Babe you're a joker o, how many times would I go out today beside it is late" "Use mobile banking na" Sarah suggested "It isn't connecting" "Leave it till tomorrow now.. just look at the time, it is not good for ladies to be out by this time" Khadija advised "It is just past eleven" Linda said "And so?" I asked "I'd buy you airtime too" she replied "How much?" Amanda asked "Maryam just stay so I could escort her" Sarah said "Abeg Linda let's go" I said dragging her as she laughed, Khadija followed us also
"Oga I wan buy recharge card" Linda finally summoned courage to wake the sleeping man after we waited for fifteen minutes "TANI YÈ? (WHO IS THAT?)" The man asked aggressively "We wan buy recharge card" Linda responded "Na im you dey wake person anyhow? Una no get home training abi?" He asked "Home training ke? Sir please don't bring my parents into this, we've been waiting for the p...." Linda was explaining "Oga no vex" I simply said knowing that no matter how Linda explain he wouldn't listen and would only end up insulting our generation
The matter was resolved, only God knows how much recharge cards Linda is purchasing, we are supposed to be done by now. I spotted a car that looked like Abbah's car and shrugged knowing that the car was not made for him alone but then I saw Bashir and his girl
'They haven't left yet' I thought
"Isn't that Abbah's car?" Linda asked "Yes it is" I replied "Let me go and say hello" she said with happy feet, knowing that most hellos ends with an extra cash in her purse "Finally I get to meet my baby" Khadija said excitedly "Ehn ehn o! Don't even think of it" I said "I was just kidding na" she elbowed me playfully
"Baby I thought you left al..." I was saying and stopped midway when I saw him wrapped around the arms of another lady, he pushed her away immediately he sighted me "Shame on you Abbah" Linda spitted
I don't really know how to feel or react, I just walked away as Khadija and Linda caught up with me
A/N: Babiesss!🤗 How are y'all doing? Have a nice day💗
