PHEBE

Chapter nineteen.

       PATRICK'S POV.
I got to know what happened to Phebe through Kenny who was blabbing about how wicked Blessy and her fat friend were.
I felt bad but decided to put a facade.

"Who cares what happens to her anyways?" I said with a bored expression on my face.

"Man, I know you just pretending but just admit, that girl got a hold on you cause I see the way you two all rant around, all that
is just the beginning the beginning of something special." he said in a sing song voice.

I glared at him. He raised his hands up in mock surrender and this earned him a smack on his shoulder.

"Ouch, that hurt." he said.

We were now in our usual spot waiting for Jerry to arrive so we could proceed to class. He arrived after a short while, we did our bro shake and made for the class.

"Ma guys, lemme meet Grace catch up with you later." Kenny said.

"Love nwantiti, its fine, see how he's asking for permission like we're his parents." Jerry said whilst winking at him.

" l know right, send my greetings to our wife." I said with a small smile tugging on my lips.

"Which is our wife, abeg she's mine not our ours." he said with a look of seriousness on his face.

"Aah, aah, can't someone joke with you?, besides you know I don't do girls." I replied.

Kenny had made it a point to us that his really interested in Grace and us being us, always made teased him about it.
Well, I  had never seen him act all loving and caring to any girl except Grace who I guess is lucky though they haven't made it official but I have a feelings its about to be.

"I don't do girls, look at him with your huge head, you think we haven't noticed that you have something for Phebe huh." Jerry said while mimicking my words.

"Thank God you also noticed and I was telling him earlier that all their ranting and stuff will lead to something special but he beat me to it." Kenny yapped.

"Guys see, nothing is gonna happen between me and her, she is just not my type of girl and I can't go into an affair atleast not now with all tha I am facing." I spoke with a slight frown on my face.

"We know bro, but just give it time, everything will be fine." Jerry said whilst gently rubbing my shoulders.

"But still I have a feeling you guys will have something to do with each other." Kenny chipped.

"Kenny, its nothing and just discard that thought from your mind." I replied with a serious look.

"Don't say we didn't tell you." Jerry also supported.

"I bet, she's not my type of girl and nothing will happen between the two of us." I said and I saw the glint of happiness in their eyes.

"So whose your type of girl if not her?" Kenny asked looking fully at me.

"Elsie, Suzie, Bethanie, Blessy." Jerry listed and I scuffed due to the last name he mentioned.

"Ooh keep that trash, Jerry, of all the girls, I can't just stoope so low and date or have anything to do with Blessy, I know our parents are next of kins and I have been nice to her but I can't atleast not her, see if I said I couldn't have anything with Phebe then with Blessy, I rather be a bachelor for life." I spat.

Is Blessy this bad?

"Sorry I mentioned her, its okay, we understand but your statement made me realize that atleast Phebe can have a chance with you." Jerry said.
