My Leprechaun

Most options are either yes/no, A/B or better still, right/wrong. That doesn't seem to be my case; for me, things are a lot more complicated. Here I am on a rainy day with two options and I can't seem to pick any. I wouldn't mind if I could sneek in a mayb into my options. Maybe there is an alternate option no one seems to mention. I can feel the rain washing away my make up and mascara but for the first time, I don't even care. It just feels like a cold shower with my clothes on. Funny enough I think I needed it cos am burning inside from the rage forming up which is based on the fact that am the one left with this choice. Which leads me to how this whole sad tale began.

Fumi invited me to a birthday party which I originally didn't want to go to. I can't stop blaming myself for going even though I kinda thanked her for taking me. The problem wasn't that night, it was what that night caused and inevitably led to. I was peacefully watching my movie. I was watching GOT for the second time, was at the part where Cersie told little finger "power is power". Wasn't aware I was about to be powerless over my own movement. Fumi waltzed in already dressed; " why are you still not dressed? You are busy watching film" I remember laughing and saying "it's not a film it's a tvserie, and it's not just any but G.O.T".

I think the problem was that I laughed, because she must have assumed I was joking when she said "and so?" I was dump founded. Didn't she hear Game of Thrones? "Haven't you watched it already?" And in the most assuring voice I've ever heard her use, she said "Babe, just follow me, aswear today own go burst your head". I know Fumi alot, and I know she uses pidgin phrases when she's hyped about something or when she's angry. I finally gave in after she closed my laptop lid. I dressed as quickly as I could and followed her.

She wasn't lying when she said "e go burst your head". I was genuinely impressed by the setup: it wasn't too fancy but wasn't at all shaby. It was an indoor party in some rich kid's house; a 3 bedroom bungalow with a pool by the side. Later found out it belonged to the second son of a Nigerian senator (apparently, his dad bought him the house on his 21st birthday). I thought there was no better sight than the compound decor till I stepped inside. The compound was well adorned with different types of flowers that demacated the carpet grass and the pool section including a badminton court I hadn't noticed till now. It had a parking area meant for 6-8 cars (although there appeared to be only 4 parked at the moment. Imagine me saying only to four cars belonging to my peer.

The entrance to the sitting room was lit with dim lights hidden in the pop ceiling. The sitting room was bigger than I expected with two separate sofa sets that although we're different in colour, yet they seemed to match. I can't even tell for sure their colours cos of the dim blue lighting in the sitting room that made everything look either black or white. He had a smart TV playing a TVseries on Netflix I've always wanted to watch. No one even seemed to notice the show and I don't blame them. Burna boy's African gaint album was playin on the home theatre while the movie was on mute.

Strangely, there was this cute guy who was watching the show like he could lip read the whole thing. The music didn't even seem to faze him but he was nodding at the beat anyway. He was interesting to watch until he caught my eyes with this narrow look like he could see through me or he could see my soul. I felt naked in his stare, ashamed, I tried looking away but each time I peeped back, I caught his stare again like he was fixated on where I was like the TV moved or something.

I walked casually like nothing was wrong towards the table where the snacks were kept then after picking one meatpie that looked so socculent I wanted ten more. Its not like I wanted to form but I didn't want to be greedy so I picked two. I started eating one immediately while holding the other one on a small plate in my left hand. I was sure the guy should have got tired and stopped looking so I turned to check while I was eating.

This was too much in fact, I want to know what's going on! He wasn't just staring anymore; it was like he evolved. He was pointing at me while wispering to someone. I started feeling illegal, like I was smuggled into the party. Is it because I picked two? It's just meatpie! I can literally buy it back except if, hmmm the meatpie is dope though it might have been imported...

Back to the main problem, where is Fumi? This was all on her, she brought me here. She should have discussed with customs or something. She should have my legal documents.

I felt betrayed when I saw the person he was wispering to turned around and it was Fumi. Maybe she was negotiating my residency, if so, I had better finish up the meatpie before it goes south. If I should be sent out, at least I should have had a good feel of the pie.
