I was having a full-blown conversation with my subconscious which made me realise, I really need to get rid of that voice before I go crazy. I don't know how but I know there is a way? Does anyone else have voices in their head? No? Just me? Okay.
"Yeah good luck with that"
I roll my eyes.
Feeling like a dare devil, i texted Hammad. In almost an instant, my phone pinged. My heart did a little jump.
Founder's favorite 🍨: hello
Ooh fast reply! Husband material I tell you. I laughed at my self. I'm so dumb sometimes.
Sameerah : its the girl from cold stone. Founder's favorite?
This is so stupid. I sound pathetic. The girl from cold stone? Really Sameerah? Really?
Founder's favorite : oh the pretty one
Say whaaaaaat?
Sameerah : you're mistaking. The one whose mum embarrassed, something about eating three pizzas?
Founder's Favorite : Yeah I remember. Like I said, the pretty one.
I rolled my eyes. He's totally messing with me, working his play boy charm. I saw that he was typing so I quickly exited the chat and started replying my other messages. Don't want to seem desperate.
Ff: I'm calling you
Who exactly does this guy think he is? Informing instead of asking? Hes learning fast! My phone began to buzz. Oh he was serious? Oya now. I let it buzz until it stopped. I don't think I'm ready to talk to a strange male. Stranger danger right? Like we just started talking! This guy is getting way too comfortable and its making me uncomfortable.
Ff: pick up your phone beautiful.
I read the message from my notification bar. I smiled at the nickname but rolled my eyes none the less. I can't be caught smiling at a text. I still had to behave like I don't like the name even though I am alone in the room. I don't know who I was forming for. Like I said, I have serious problems.
My phone began to buzz again. I smiled watching the phone ring. He was persistent and I was stubborn. Perfect match right?
Ff: I won't stop calling until you pick up and I know you are watching the phone ring. I'll probably call till your battery dies
I raised my eyebrows instinctively. I like this guy already.
I picked up on the fifteenth ring. Fifteen!
S- I don't know you know you but you are already annoying me.
He just chuckled. Why is he laughing? How can he be cute and annoying at the same time?
S- its not funny
Ff- I know
Agghh!! Then why is he still laughing?He was enjoying riling me up so I just kept quiet.
Ff- hellohellohellohellohello...
God!He's so annoying!
Ff- I know you can hear me. Please talk to me
*silence*
Ff- okay i'm Sorry
After a moment, i ask him.
S- why did you call me? I'm not supposed to talk to a stranger.
Ff- wallahi even i don't know why I called you
*awkward silence*awkward silence*
Ff- where do you live?
S- why so you can come and kidnap me? For rituals maybe? No thanks
Ff- even though that is very tempting, no. I just want to know i guess, come say hi sometime
So you can pop up unannounced abi? This one doesn't know that my dad is an assassin at heart. He will kill me, him, cold stone and domino's managers and I'm not even bluffing.
S- I'll text it to you.
This call had to end. My mum can just barge in here and if she finds me anywhere near my phone at forty something minutes after ten pm there will be wahala. She'll seize the phone. And that will be the end of my barely existent love life.
Ff- why are you tired of my voice?
S- yes kind of
I could hear the mirth in his voice. He knew I was teasing. He knew his voice was to die for. His voice was soothing, like he had a cold. I wonder what he'll sound like when he's angry. When a guy is angry, he tends to be extra attractive. But only when the anger is not directed at me ooo. They can be scary.
Ff- is it not sexy enough for you beautiful?
Something fluttered in my chest and stomach at the nickname. If he keeps up, I'll actually believe him. Come on! We just met today how are you making me feel all gooey and shit?
"Because he gave 2.5 % of his playboy time". Ahh I was beginning to wonder where she went. I was kind of hoping she won't return. But I kind of like her. You feel me? We understand each other.
S- Good night Hammad
Ff- Good night beautiful.
Okay that just happened. Am i hallucinating? Did he dope my ice cream? Maybe he's an alien from the sun who morphed into a handsome male earthling and is drawing me to my gruesome demise. Ahhhhh
"Easy on the drama there"
I burst out laughing, at my sheer absurdity.
"How will you get a boyfriend when you are clearly nuts?"
"Shut up" I muttered.
*message from founder's favorite*
this guy is too much. He doesn't stop does he?
They messages from him were piling up.
Ff- beautiful
Ff- I know you are not sleeping, I can see the blue ticks.
S- hi
****
So we talked. And talked. Okay we talked a lot. I found out he is twenty one with five siblings. Five!
He's studying aviation science at some university in Turkey. All those rich, spoilt fine boys. They were everywhere you go in Abuja, like mtn. Just oppressing us the mediocre? middle men? Idk the word please.
He was... I don't even know. Throwing compliments in after every three messages. Lord what have I gotten my self into?
Guess the best part.
He plays polo!!! PO freaking LO!
That is such a huge turn on. I swear guys who play polo ehn, you won't understand.
*you are being dumb*
For the first time in a long while, i was talking to someone that was not a voice in my head. It was nice for a change.
It kept getting better and better. He knew exactly what to say. The only thing i didn't like about this is the fact that i liked it. A lot! Our conversation ate deep into my sleeping time and i don't regret it one bit.
