BEING SKINNY IN NIGERIA

I'm willing to light up his world:Chapter 15

Well we had so much explanation to give to Eno, not like she actually listened she kept yelling I knew it, I knew it, as usual Mr smiley kept smiling and I was dying with embarrasment, I mean my best friend walked in on me kissing a boy, what else is more embarrassing than that.

I walked up to my bedroom as I laid on the bed day dreaming all that happened in drake's house, his mum calls him bami, which means my father in yoruba, so yes, I still do not know his actual name.

His mum had to offer us lunch this time, well cause the last time I came I politely declined and said next time, so this time we had no choice but eat lunch in his house, in order not to come off as disrespectful

So when I got back home from school instead of doing the occasional thing I do, I just came up stairs and here I am, thinking about the one person I never thought I would ever think about again.

I went downstairs to eat but I told mum I wanted my food in a very small portion, drake mum literally filled up my whole stomach up until it got to my throat

I picked up a piece of plantain as I chew on to it, quite longer than expected of me, I eat really fast. Mum kept staring at me like she was suspecting something, but I'm really good at ignoring weird behaviors, so I did that successfully.

I pick up my phone, log on to IG, checked my dm's, still no message from the grim reaper, immediately a notification came in, it's from whatsapp

Drake: hey princess

Me:hey stalker, what's up?

Drake: I'm good just chilling, I was thinking of strolling

Me: by this time?

Drake: it's just 7:25, that's not too late, I'm sure you've not had dinner

Me: nah, you?

Drake: we're having tuwo, I don't like that stuff, and semovita just finished at home which is what I eat, so I'm just going to get suya while strolling

Me: okay Mr stroller

Drake: do you mind if I stop by? will they let you come out?

Me: I guess, I'll just make up something for mum, she likes me having friends so I'll tell her I want to see a friend

Drake: lol,will you tell her this friend of yours is a boy, I'm sure she'll be glad

Me: lol, you really do not know my mum then, have you left the house?

Drake: yeah just now, give me 10 minutes

Me: okay I'll come out when you get here.

Immediately I fling my phone on my bed, running to my bathroom, oh my God I look hedious, what am I wearing for goodness sake? I quickly go through my wardrobe pulling out a pair of jegging and my fanciest hoodie, I love hoodies, they make me look bigger.

I walked downstairs making my way to the entrance of the house

"And madam where are you heading to" my mum said relaxing on the couch with a magazine with her

"Em, a friend of mine is here, I want to see him" I say to my mum hoping she won't make a big fuss about it

"He?" She says looking at me and adjusting her reading glasses. Oh my God I'm not ready for this

"Yes mum and he's still out there waiting" I say putting more stress on the word waiting

"He was the one that made you moody that day, am I right?" She says now smiling

" ugh mum!, I'm not ready for this, my guest is waiting" I say to her walking out the door, as I hear her say something like we'll talk about it later, hell no, we are not talking about anything.
