The Dirty Saint

19

I thought people were suppose to appreciate it when someone tells them the truth about the people around them, people that they trust

Onome's reaction to what I told her made me even feel worse than I did when I kept it away from her

She left me in the cafe just like that and she hasn't been picking my calls ever since. I know she's hurt but she shouldn't be angry at me

If I was in her shoes I know where I would channel all my anger to. I was so mad at myself for trying to do a noble deed that backfired on me

I went to her house but she wasn't there
I called my elder brother later that day because i really needed to speak to someone, we have spoken in ages

"Didun.... God knows I was just thinking of you "

''You are thinking of me but you have never called not even once. Have you suddenly forgotten that you have a baby sister somewhere "

"How would I ever forget you. I am sorry I have not been able to reach you since you left for college. Am sorry I've been really busy it's the time of the year where we are working endlessly to beat the cut down list for those coming home for the holiday "

"Are You coming home "

"By God's grace and am coming home with someone "

"Who"

"it meant to be a surprise "

"Well I guess I beat you to it since i called you"

"Oh shoot, do you want me to call you back "

"No that would take ages. Just send back my airtime in cash"

"Sure thing. So tell me how is school "

Have completely forgotten why I called him to complain. He is too far away across the continent on sea to be bothered about my petty life dramas

"School is fine, You still haven't told me who You Are coming home with "

"You are being nosy. Don't ruin the surprise "

"You don't have a choice "

"Okay okay fine but you cant tell anyone. Am bringing my girlfriend home and am going to propose to her"

"Oh wow. Congratulations. Who is she, how does she look like, is she pretty coz I want really cute nieces and nephews "

"Okay.. Madam, slow down... Why the rush. We are not even married yet and you already want nieces and nephews "

"Am very happy for you bro. You finally have a girlfriend "

His first girlfriend am sure. I don't know if he hook up with anyone during his time at the navy school but there use to be a girl in his secondary school days that use to follow him around like a puppy but he never really liked her

"Don't be such a tease. Have actually had many girlfriends "

"That I know nothing about. I know you are quite the catch but you weren't ever into dating"

"Well that's because you girls are such drama queens one is hard enough to handle besides you and Soma are my girlfriends "

"Not that kind you know what am talking about. But anywhere  what is so special about this one that you finally decide to spend the rest of your life with "

"You will know when you see her"

"Ahh no na you need to give me something, or send her picture to me "

"She's white. Does that help"

"Oh my God. You are getting married to a white lady that's so cool... Now I know you are the bomb, never underestimate a guy who takes his time. Either way she's lucky to have you " he laughs hard
