Episode 2
traffic has been kinda bad we have been stuck in traffic,
And there was an awkward silence between us he kept stealing glances at me, I was doing a perfect job at pretending I didn't notice..then he started saying something and stopped then he started with his day at work, blabbing about other things I wasn't getting, I smiled at him..he then chucked and shake his head, am bad at making conversation he said and we both laughed...
I looked at him and started talking about my school, moving from one topic to another. If anyone would have seen us they would have thought we knew ourselves for long.. Never knew he could be this lively... Finally am home I sigh
His driver parked outside my apartment thanked him for the ride and got down... Without saying much he told him to drive
****** Resting on my bed lost in thoughts not knowing when simbi arrived... My phone rang with an unknown caller just to answer it and found out it was my boss, what does he want again...
Me:elo
Shola: elo. I was just checking on you
Me: am okay sir. Thank you for the ride, sir.
Shola: Oh it's nothing, was wondering after the bonding this evening, I was thinking if you could have dinner with your boss... tomorrow? I alone here and a friend would be nice, you know just to pass away time...
Me :(surprised) that would have been nice sir but I have other plans, sir...
Shola: okay then.
He didn't allow me to say anymore before ending the call... Staring at my phone in disbelief, when I saw those thick fingers of simbi... Wiggling it at my face...
OMG, I exclaimed as we both screamed and jump trying to believe what I was seeing... All I keep saying was when? How? Admiring the ring on her finger... She was smiling so much that her cheeks were so shiny, this evening she said, iyawo wa (our wife)I said... Ayo I nearly fainted I couldn't believe it... Awwww I touched her cheek and stare at the ring, have u told oke ? she knows already, am so happy for you dear as I hugged her... Disengaging from the hug...
They go take I said adjusting my top, it is me that would do chief bridesmaid, they would know you have able friends (we both laugh at my display) I guess oke is not coming home, yes she is not... Na u sabi (her choice)I said... So tell me how was your first day at work, it was fine... Umm fine? Yes now fine (making a funny face) okay oh me am going to sleep and tired from all the excitement... Alright then Good night and dream about me I said... She just turn back and look at me why would I dream about you, is it you that want to marry meet ni
, rubbish girl(laughing and ahead towards her room)...
*******************
It is almost three months now at work, and Simbi's wedding is fast approaching... Oke decided to stay on campus so has to monitor all she was assigned to do... I can't keep sustaining the three bedrooms flat we acquired since simbi would leave soon now am left with the option of getting myself a new place.....
My boss has been cool and work has been hectic attending to this and attending to that planning his schedule making sure he meets up... My friendship with him grew but not beyond that...
It is another beautiful bright morning at work settled down for some minutes, and picks up my book and pen to brief him on his schedule. Within me, I don't want to go alone... I don't understand myself, my boldness fails me these days... I walked toward his office (knock and enter that was the drill) I open the door ,knocking down my boss with it ,as his nose bleeds ,
OMG I thought can this day be worse,....
