I was still in thoughts when my phone rang, bringing me back to reality,it was Temi.
“hi, Becky,i just wanted to let you know that kaycee has been discharged, the doctor just did some stitching since his injured head wasn’t so serious” temi spoke calmly as soon as i picked.
” okay, that’s good to know, but wait o,you mean you’re still there with him?” i asked.
” yea, i couldn’t just leave him here nah, there’s no one to attend to him,since you decided to leave”. Temi said making me feel guilty.
” look, temi,am really sorry i left you guys, i guess i wasn’t in the right state of mind then, thank for staying up for him,i promise to make it up to you. I murmured pleadingly. ”
alright,whatever!” temi replied as she cut the call.
I was really tired and exhausted, a good night sleep would surely do the trick. I had an obligation to perform,which was apologizing and thanking kaycee for what he did for me, but in a diplomatic way. I didn’t want to fill his mind with any nonsense thoughts about me to have fallen for him. Tomorrow, was surely qonna be hectic. I closed my eyes,as nature took me down the wonderful aisle of sleep.

I woke up the next day, took my shower and got ready for lectures, so did Anita my roommate. Anita was just the kind of roommate i would have wished for,she acted like my mother and counsellor, but most at times to my dislike she was a bit older than me. She was also really beautiful, and had many boyfriends. She wasn’t the type of girl who was faithful to just one boy, although, she wasn’t a runs girl.
We both left our off campus apartment, which was situated not too far from our university. One thing i disliked about off campus accommodation was the transportation fare that i spent every day. It was really draining down our finances. We had already locked up and was about calling for the popular ” okada men” when a car clutched in front of our apartment. I tried lookinq throuqh the tinted glass, and discovered that it was none other person than Kaycee. My mind flew!. I surely wasn’t expecting him that mornining. Kaycee came down from his car and headed towards us. I was really surprised to see him so early, he wore a head warmer, probably to cover the part of his head that was stitched. Anita too couldn’t hide her amazement on seeing him so early, was that how jobless he was? Kaycee and Anita both exchanged qreetings and pleasantries while i stood there like a statue.
“hi there”, kaycee greeted me, breaking the silence between us. Anita quickly turned and faced me, qiving me the ” you better start apologizing” look.
” kaycee, from the bottom of my heart,i want to sincerely thank you for defending my honour yesterday, and i really want to apologize for leaving you at the hospital,i quess i wasn’t in the right state of mind” i pleaded.
“it’s alright, anyone would have fought for someone as beautiful as you are, even if it’s to die for you dear,am ready, it only hurts me that you’re not trying to notice me, i hope you got my flowers yesterday?” he asked with a calm smile, while i blushed.
“like i said before,am really sorry,and promise to make it up to you” 00oops,what the hell did i just say?, i have giving him the opportunity he had been waiting for, and sincerely what any boy would have asked for next was either a date or an outing. But i and Anita were really surprised when he said,
” alright then, i hope you wouldn’t mind if i gave you guys a ride to school?” he asked with a pleading face.
I was about replying him with a NO, when Anita quickly gave me a stern look and replied him in the affirmative.*better to use TP for gala and lacasera*
I was reluctant at first, but Anita had already jumped into his car.
” nice car you’ve got” Anita flattered the joyous kaycee, who couldn’t believe he had gotten us into his car. His face was just full of smiles as he nodded his head, started the engine and off we zoomed. We didn’t really talk much on the way.
We finally arrived at our department,and kaycee tried acting like gentleman, he quickly came down from his car and rushed to open the car door for us as we came out, with smiles still on his face.
” thanx a lot for accepting to enter my car, that meant a lot, pls can i have ur number,and please don’t say no!” kaycee begged.
I was about replying him when a female voice called from behind.
“kaycee!!?;what are you doing here”, the voice said rushing closer to us.
I immediately noticed a sudden change of mood in kaycee, surely,he wasn’t happy to see her.
“hey Ada, watsup” kaycee replied her.
” what are you doing here and who are they??!!” the girl arrogantly asked ignoring his greeting.
“they are my friends,pls meet….”
kaycee didn’t even complete what he was saying when she shut him up. He just stood there, like a baby. The girl immediately turned to us with one hand on her waist,like someone ready for a fight. Something was about to happen, and it wasn’t good at all.
An African proverb says, ” when elephants fight, na the ground dey suffer.
To be continued…..
I wonder what will happen
