"Bruh,do you think we should turn now orr?", Juice asks,
"Nahh,let's keep going, we might find another place", I tell him, it's Friday evening and we went for a drive to check out the places I would be taking Tinuke to,
"Aiit,yunno,we've seen like three really cool places already", he says,
"Yeah,it's just that,what if I take her to one of those places and she doesn't like it?",
"Ohh,I get you,options abi?",
"Yup,I don't want to screw this up bro",
"Guy chill,you'll win her over with your exaggerated awesomeness",Juice says,
"Ok,you're just happy because Amber finally agreed to be your girlfriend yesterday", I tell him,
"Dude,happy is an understatement, just be quick with Tinuke so that we can finally be two geeks with girlfriends and automobiles", he says,
"That totally sounded like a rap album name", I say,
"Because that's how I wanted it to sound like", he says and taps his skull with his index finger,
"And my mom hasn't even given me full control over the car", I say,
"Guy,we both know she will,are you sure you haven't seen any other place?", he asks,
"Nahh,just this ice cream place at the back,but that'll just be a stop", I answer him,
"Yeah,I forgot, you'll be driving your way to Kiss Land, mooch mooch", Juice says and starts pouting his lips,I punch him in the ribs,
"Guy,you want to kill both of us abi,just before your big date fa", he puts emphasis on 'big date',the car stops and I look at him,
"Why did you stop the car?", I ask,he doesn't say anything but points up ahead,I look forward and see what he's looking at,my eyes widen,
"Yes?", he asks,
"Yes".
********
I wake to the sound of a very loud police siren,well,more like Juice's alarm clock,I borrowed it the night before so that I wouldn't over sleep and forget myself
It's 6 am and I'm as elated as it gets for the day ahead.
I pray and brush my teeth before going downstairs to prepare some pancakes for my mom and sister before they wake up,it's Saturday so normally, everybody sleeps till around 8 am,but today is different, there is so much energy running through my body.
I text Juice.
We made it.
He replies.
Glad to see the cops woke you already, now lemme sleep.
After I fry the pancakes,I sweep the house while listening to my morning playlist.
By the time I'm done,my mom is already awake,
"Good morning ma", I greet her,
"Damola,how are you?", she asks,
"I'm fine ma", I answer,
"How was your night?", she asks,
"Was good,how are you?", I ask,
"I'm fine my love,you woke up early today", she says,
"Yes,I just felt like making breakfast", I tell her,
