Chapter 11. Look before you lip.

Some fun are not actually fun but

frustration. If Phillip had seen what awaits

him after meeting Jennifer he wouldn't have

gone down with her.

If only he had known Jennifer's

desperation over settling down with a wealthy

man he wouldn't have accepted his friend's

idea of meeting with her.

Its always good to know who you mingle

with else they stand to ruin your happiness

just at the peak of your victory.

Jennifer visits her friend Shola to

congratulate her for her wedding though she

wasn't able to attend because of her

condition.

Jennifer knocked at the door and Shola

opened, welcomed her in with a smiley hug.

Shola....... Welcome babe.

Jennifer...The newest bride in town.

You are really glowing babe.

Shola........My dear is Godooooooo and

secondly, money is good.

God gave me what I asked for, she

blushed.

Jennifer...Mmmmmmm, you are really lucky

babe but mine is not really

working the way I planned it.

Shola.......What do you mean?

And please pardon my manners,

what do I offer you?

Jennifer...Just water babe.

Shola...... You that I know too well?

Just water? Kilode? ( what's up?)

Jennifer.....Ummmm, the truth is I can't do

alcohol now babe, I'm heavy.

Shola....... Are you kidding me?

Jennifer...I'm dead serious babe, that's why

I couldn't make it to your wedding.

You know they said.... pregnancy

is not your mate!!

Shola.......Oh I'm beginning to understand

you now.

But who's the father of your

unborn child?

Jennifer.....Is Phillip babe.

Shola ......How sure are you because you

weren't banging only him. There

was Emeka, Daniel, Cola and

Matthew in your life at same time?

Jennifer... I'm certain it's Phillip because

he's the only man I have sex with

then without protection hoping to

get pregnant for him and hook

him down with that but the

pregnancy signs didn't pop-up

while I was still there, it was after

(7)days when he kicked me out

of his house that I noticed, went

for a test after missing my period

and the doctor confirmed it.

Shola......This is serious.

So what's your plan babe?

Have you told him?

Jennifer.....Babe that's also why I came here.

I went to that idiots office only

to be told he left for lunch, I went

to where he normally do lunch

only to find him so entangled with

another babe. Though I told him

regardless.

But could you believe that this

idiot hasn't called me till now?

Shola........Hmmmmmm this is serious oooo.

But as it is now, what do you

intend to do?

Jennifer...I will give it to him hot, since I

want to take it lite with him and

it's not working, I will tell him that

we Yoruba ladies don't take shit.

He must marry me by fire or by

force.

Shola........Hmmmm, babe that guy is

wealthy ooooo, remember they

said "you can't beat the rich".

Jennifer...Babe, they also said "wisdom is

profitable to direct".

I have heard some conversation

with him and his mum on phone

about not marrying from another

tribe, and hey babe I'm same tribe

with him .

Shola.......What are you driving at?

Jennifer.....All I need to do is check the tribe

of his new babe and then know my

next move.

Shola.......Do you know her or where she

stays?

Jennifer.....I know her house. I have once

followed her unnoticed. I can ask

her neighbors.

Shola......But even if she's not Yoruba do you

think Phillip's mum will accept you

with the stunt you pulled up the

last time?

Jennifer.....Babe she has no option oooooo,

I'm already carrying her grandchild.

Shola......Babe I have always warned you

about your temperament, we both

are birds of same feathers but just

that I don't have same

temperament with you.

You would have gotten your dream

man if only you behaved well then.

Well since he hasn't called you I

suggest you call him and know the

next step to take.

Jennifer....That idiot blocked my line from

reaching him.

Shola.....It's okk just call him with my line.

Jennifer dialed Phillip's number the first try

he didn't pick but picked the 2nd time.

Phillip......Hello

Jennifer...Hello

Phillip it's me Jennifer, don't even

try to cut this call for your own

good.

Phillip.....Why are you calling?

And what do you want?

Jennifer.....Good question, I want you to come

to my place and pay my bride price

as the mother of your unborn child.

Failure to do this I will give you war.

Phillip.... Why do you derive joy in making

out war from nothing?

How I'm I sure you are truly

pregnant?

How sure I'm I that it's my seed

that's growing inside of you?

How do you expect me to come

and marry a woman as rude as

you?

Jennifer.....When you were having your way

into me like your last supper you

didn't realize my rudeness abi?

Phillip if you don't want thunder to

fire you and your entire generation

quickly come and marry me.

Phillip......Truth is I don't love you and I can't

marry you. As for the pregnancy, I

will give you a call about that. Don't

call me again.

Jennifer..... Hello, hello,hello.

This idiot cut the call on me.

Shola.......What did he say?

Jennifer.....That good for nothing said he

doesn't love me and can't marry

me.

Hey I will give Phillip war.

Shola......Babe I think you should take things

easy. Remember your condition.

Give him some time maybe he will

have a rethink.

Jennifer.... Which useless rethink? by the time

I show Phillip the other side of me

he will know who I really am.
