The Phone Thief

14. Going Home

They went back into the hall. As they entered, Adam realized that the girls were not even looking at them. They found an empty seat and sat.

"Now you should scan for any girl that will do for you" Abubakar said.

"The way I see it, all of this girls have boyfriends" Adam retorted.

"And how does it matter"

"I mean who starts learning anything by competing with experts? I should find a girl without any experience so we can evolve together. What do you think?

They were conversing with their heads close otherwise they might have to raise their voices because of the music.

"You're right" Abubakar agreed. "The difference is, if you start with a girl who is a player, you'll learn the hard way and you wouldn't experience the full love prospects. You'll have have mixed feelings everyday. You'll always be confused and at the end of the day over some extended period, you may learn to be a player also.
If you meet a clean girl, that's when you will realize that two persons in love belong to a totally different planet. But if anything bad happens to this love, you may live with the pain forever and it may have an impact on your subsequent relationships."

"I agree with you Abubakar. So....I don't want to talk to any of these girls. I met one at shoprite on my way to this place. Even though I may not know what a clean girl looks like, she seems clean. I will tell you about how I spoke to her later. Let's enjoy the show for now....pass me that cup."

Abubakar and Adam enjoyed the show, talking, laughing, taking pictures and eating, while Umar and Adam's step mum were being troubled by Adam's disposition.

After the dinner and it's time to go home, Adam, Abubakar and Umar met outside.

"So...what now?" Umar asked.

"What now? We go home" Abubakar answered.

"Thought you guys owe me an explanation" Umar pointed out.

"That you you do." Abubakar agreed. "What do you say to that Adam?"

"Well, thought you guys live in the same neighborhood. You should give it to him on your way home or tomorrow. It's late already, we should all go home."

"Okay fine. Umar, let's get a keke" says Abubakar.

"Oh, none of you came with a ride?" Adam asked.

"Yes"

"Well then let me drop you guys off."

"You came with a car?" Umar asked.

Adam brought out a remote control out of his pocket. He pressed a button and a white Benz close by answered. Abubakar has seen the car when he went to Adam's house so he looked at Umar to see how surprised he would be. As expected. His lower jaw has dropped, eyes widened. He was only breathing to keep his confused brain working.

"come on let's go"

They entered the car. Adam was about to match on the accelerator pedal when someone knocked on the door. Adam wind down the glass. It was one of the police officers that manned the gate.

"Sir, I'm afraid there's been a problem so I was asked to take you in for confirmation sir"

"what kind of a problem is that?"

"There was fake currency and there were suspicions."

"Fake currency?" Adam opened the door. "So I'm one of the suspects right? But I thought I gave you guys money, were they fake currencies?"

"No sir. We can't mention that anyone gave us money. I was given an order."

"Well then, maybe I have to tell them myself."

"That wouldn't be necessary. All you need to..."

Adam cut the police officer. "Hang on." He brought out plenty of one thousand naira notes from his pocket, took two and gave the officer. "I believe that should be an answer, unless if Nigeria is now printing fake currencies." Adam went back into the car."

"Wish you all the best sir, sorry for troubling you" the officer apologized.

They drove away.

"Good, let me tell you guys about the girl."

Adam told them what happened at shoprite as he drove. He told them that he only gave her a paper with his phone number, requesting her to call him.

"She will not call" Umar managed to say.

"What makes you think so?" Abubakar asked.

"Because she's not cheap. I mean doesn't it make her cheap if she calls?"

"No it doesn't. The only thing that makes a lady cheap is if she is cheap. It's not something you can know at a particular time because she did something. She may call, or not. It all depends on many things. But wait, Adam, when you gave her the paper, did she laugh or smile?"

"No. Her expression was in between surprise and confusion. She didn't smile"

"Then I think she'll call. Not sure but its a one over two probability."

"I wish I asked her to call this night, because I'm not sure if I can sleep tonight" Adam lamented.

Abubakar said "Either way, you may not sleep well. Because when she calls you, she will either agree to your request or decline. If she says yes, the thrill will make you restless and your mind will not want to fantasize. If she says no, you'll have nightmares because the man in you has been defeated and it is challenged. No sleep. So I think you made the right decision by asking her to call in the morning."

"Well, I hope she calls." Adam prayed.

There was a little silence, then Adam asked "wait, if she calls, what should I tell her?"

"Who are you asking, Umar or me?"

"Anyone of you should tell me"

"You are the one who saw her, and fell for her. So same brain and mind that told you she's the perfect one for you should tell you all that you should tell her. It's not something that you should fake or try to be smart about. So think about it through the night."

"I'll try."

They spoke about girls until Adam dropped them.
