Investigation II

Sky felt eyes on her and smiled. She picked her food and looked around the restaurant for a place to sit, sighing, she walked straight to where Femi was sitting and smiled brightly. Please excuse me, is this seat taken? She asked politely.

Femi observed the girl in front of him, she was bold, he gives her that. Getting a closer look of her, he discovered she was domineering and at the same time cute. He grunted at her question and she still sat down. There was something about the way she sat down, she was very careful and her legs were open. She wasn't fat just chubby except for her stomach and yet she was acting like a fat lady. As she sat down, he looked at her face cap, he blew smoke into her face. Only after he blew the smoke, did he see the bandage on her head, just under the cap, he felt bad.

Sky coughed for a minute because of the smoke, she held her chest and opened her bottle water and took a sip. You shouldn't do that she said, removing her cap. They are alot of reasons you shouldn't do that, not just to me but to other people too. Sky said as she tasted the food. Some people are asthmatic, and some have other reasons why they can't inhale that much smoke. Sky said as she rubbed her tummy. She could see Bones in the room, noticing the anger on his face, she raised her hand a bit to stop him. Her phone rang and she read the message

"Are you feeling allright boss? Just say the word and I'll be there to deal with that nitwit and get the answer out of his mouth, my way."

Sky smiled at the text and replied, I'm fine, if he misbehaves I'll give you the signal.

Femi noticed the way the lady talked, very calm and matured, he put his cigerrete away and said sorry in a low voice.

I didn't know you were sick, but you should have sat somewhere else, you saw me smoking before you sat here. Stop lecturing me on what to do, you are not my mother.

Sky smiled to his last sentence. I love the window sit that's all, all the others are taken. I'll feel all choked up if I don't sit at the window sit, I don't like the smell of what they are cooking now. Sky felt her baby move really fast and she rubbed the spot, wow she said out loud, you are feisty today sweetpea.

What? Femi asked the strange girl in front of him. He noticed the way she rubbed her tummy then he took a closer look and his mouth dropped.

I have a pregnant sister, and I know a baby bump when I see one, don't tell me you are pregnant, he said pointing her stomach.

Reduce your voice, yes I'm pregnant. Luckily the school doesn't discriminate and also allow married women take regular courses, and also pregnant women. It's a good school, Sky said as she pushed the food away, she didn't like it.

Wow, Femi said as he looked at her, he was a man of few words but he seems to be talking alot cause of this lady. It's a stupid school,a shitty school. All those good deed they do, it's an act. A facade just to lure people in.

Then why are you here? Sky asked him. feeling nauseous she said out loud. Oh no, I think I'm gonna throw up, please get me anything, juice or coke but preferably juice, my baby doesn't like this food.

Femi looked at the lady face turn pale and panicked...then why did you come here to eat and place that order? He asked angrily.

I liked it when i saw it in the menu, now please hurry, Sky replied him.

Femi stood up and went to the counter to get her something.

Bones noticed Sky discomfort and sent a student to give her a bag of snacks and drinks. Sky sent him a text " Thanks Bones. You are a life saver"

Femi ran back to their table, there's no juice lady just coke. He looked at the bag in front of her and froze, did you have this all this time, and made me run to get you drink?

No, a friend brought this for me, thank you Femi I will take the coke later.

I didn't tell you my name, how did you know my name?

I overheard someone call you just now, when you went to the counter, and you totally ignored him.

He grunted. I'm not a student here, I'm only here cause this was my girlfriend's favourite spot.

I'm sorry about your loss, Sky said looking down.

Wait how do you know Rose, do you know me, who are you?

Calm down, I'm a year three student. I use to see you and your girlfriend together, the way you look at her and her you, I took notice of you two cause I liked your relationship. I wish I have someone who look at me like that. I'm sorry you had to loose her that way.

Shutup you don't know anything about Rose, and our relationship.

I know how it feels to lose a loved one. Sky said.

Wait, you are not married? you don't know your child's father? Femi asked her...changing the topic, he didn't want to talk about Rose.

Sky smiled. I have a fiance but I forced him into the relationship, Sky said pointing her tummy, that's why I was envious of you two. And that is why the whole thing feels strange. I knew you loved eachother. Why would she go out with the so called lecturer and with what i've heard, she was very intelligent. She passed the scholarship exam well.

Femi mouth dropped as he looked at the pregnant lady in front of him.

Calm down lover boy, it's all in the news, I only paid attention to it cause I knew her and liked her.

Hmmmmmm so why are you interested? here to get information so you can gossip?

I'm a scholarship student and I know some students, it's just strange for something like this to happen, I spoke to the person in charge of scholarship in this school and your girlfriend was a scholarship student, I don't understand why she had to be with Mr Afam for admission.

Standing up, Femi looked at the young lady. I know your type, I don't have time for this rubbish.

As he walked past her, Sky said...I guess you like what happened to Rose, I thought you will be interested in getting justice.

Shut up, Femi said as he looked down at lady. If you have anything to say to me, follow me.

I will follow you if you mind the tone you use for me and talk to me with respect.

Fine, just come out. Maybe the man on suit sent her here, Femi thought to himself. He's going to find out just who she is.

As they walked out of the restaurant, Femi led her to his bike. He noticed she wasn't following him and he turned back to look at her, hey fatty aren't you coming.

I'm not getting on that, she said pointing at the bike.

Are u scared? Femi asked as he looked at the lady. I knew it, I know you.
