Going out with Jide was exactly my getaway. I needed the cool aura, the solemn oldies and the delicious sauced fried snails of the restaurant. . . Jide is indeed a man of class and I enjoyed every meal from the dessert to the main course and to every music played that I couldnβt but store the name of the restaurant in my petite medulla oblongata. . . Canβt even remember the last time I went on a date or treated myself purposelessly to a great meal but it definitely would be two weeks today that I had my last βsexcapadeβ. . . well, they are both nourishing to the body, it depends on which is prioritized. In short, I had an obvious fun that has shifted my attention more to the food aspect.
Finally, Jide pulled a stop in front of my humble No. 5 home. We were both silent throughout the ride except for the part where he made a stop at KFC. A part of me was really tired that all I wanted to do was run a hot bath and sleep but the other part was willing to excitedly respond to Amakaβs impending βgist meβ long-throat and the βwhat did you do when he did this?β βwhatβs the unexpected that happened?β βDid you guys kiss?β and Iβd so vomit in her face, God help me.
βIβm so glad you could squeeze out a time. I had a great time.β He said, finally breaking the silence.
βWell, I had a nice time too. Thanks for the dinner and the ride.β Β
βAnytime dear. . . And I must say you looked so delectable tonight.β
I thought he never noticed and would never compliment me! God help am, I thought to myself but seriously I be fool o! lol.
βThanks. You look great too.β
Then he got down, came over to my side and opened the door, βhow gentlemanlyβ and Amakaβs voice was screaming in my head βDonβt be deceivedβ lol. . . the girl no dey ever trust guys like I was even better but sheβs definitely the worst except if she really likes the guy but she hardly does.
βThanks.β I said finally stepping down from the cool breeze of the AC.
βMy pleasure.β
βLet me walk you to the door and use that opportunity to say hi to Amaka thatβs if sheβs around.β
βShe should be.β
βAnd this is for Amaka.β
He handed me a takeaway pack and I could smell it without opening it and it was humming KFC.
βOk. Thanks.β
I wanted to say he shouldnβt really have bothered but I have learnt overtime not to tell a guy βhe shouldnβt haveβ after he already did. The truth is Iβm glad he did but in the bid to be courteous and all, we end up saying βyou really shouldnβt have botheredβ when the bother dey sweet my belle as hell. A simple and sincere thank you says it all.
He slipped his palms into mine; I made a light and silent chuckle. It kinda felt good; mine was cold, his was warm.
βUna weldone o! You go out? Welcomeβ
Hehehehehehehehehehehe; this woman will not kill me. Jide sef couldnβt hide his amusement. . . Mama Seun and her uncensored gbeboruns. . . I donβt even know what she was doing there. Most times, I tend to find her annoying and another time, hilarious . . . plus all the neighbours join together but guess thatβs what you get when you live in a house with a funny plan as No. 5 and your friend refuses to answer the door bell. . . Abi Amaka don get company?
Before I could even look sideways to reply Mama Seun, she don vamoose and Amaka had finally opened the door. I gave her a sharp look that speaks βwa a fe ku lale yiβ in Reminisceβs voice making sure she got the look.
βHey!β
βHelloβ Jide said, replying Amaka.
βYou werenβt around when I came to pick her. . .β
βYeah right. I took a walk. . . Six months and itβs already been like a year. . . Good to see you again! You guys should come in na!β
βHmmmm. I am definitely about to say the same. Itβs highly great seeing you again too Amaka. . . Hope she hasnβt been much of a trouble?β
βNot too much trouble beyond my grasp. . .β
βYou are not well. . .β I fired back at Amaka.
βI would like to take my leave from here. . .β Jide said.
βAlright then. . . Thanks for stopping by and thanks for the KFC too!β Amaka replied.
βAnd who told you it was yours?β I snapped.
βAnd whose would it be if not mine. Wetin I sha know be say, no be you buy am come house for me.β
βAnd who says I would buy something and bring home for you?β I said rolling my eyes with Jide enjoying our mini soap opera.
βExactly my point! You canβt and you didnβt!β
βWhatever! Take, chop am and add am to your nicki ass!β I hit her with it on the chest.
βNo hard feelings bae, would gladly.β
βYou girls are hilarious. . .
βGirls? Hello o! We grown ass women! We are ladies.β Amaka cuts in.
βPardon my slip of tongue. . . would love to be on my way now ladies.β
βWell-said! Thanks for coming by. Goodnight.β Amaka said, dashing off into the room, jamming the door loudly.
The girl is a fool, I donβt know what game sheβs trying to play leaving us two outside. I stood by the door balancing on the ground with my 3 inch Alexander McQueen heels that makes me a 6 ft 5β, a crop top and a jean. I love my body; thereβs no other way I love to admire myself than when standing.
βTake care. Would call you tomorrow. . . Good night.β
βGood night Jide!β
I watched him enter his car, reverse and drive off till I couldnβt see his car again and I guess that meant something; something thatβs not healthy for me!

It rang 6.00a.m. sharp. . . Nothingβs constant like the precision of my alarm clock waking me up when it needed to. Rising from the bed isnβt one of my favourite to do list events but staying too long on the bed could make me sick. . . Right! But staying on the bed all day long is Amakaβs most hideous hobby. She calls it βbeauty restβ! lmao! How I wish that was really true; lazy Igbo girl!
The whole compound was silent except for the glorious sounds coming from Mama Seun and her husbandβs quarters and that could only be one thing. Well, I am impressed Mama Seun could make him sound that way but I guess I make him yell!
βReally, early morning sexual fantasies?β
It was as if I was Riggan and there was a birdman voice but the difference is I wasnβt tormented but bullied by a voice not an inch closer to Birdmanβs but very much similar to Amakaβs.
βWhat?β I said facing her.
βWater. . . You make him yell!β she said spoiling her whole face.
βNever knew I said that out!β
βWell you did!β
βAnd I thought you were sleeping. . .β
βAnd I was until you started becoming weird. . .β she fired back with her big eyeballs rolling.
Is Jide just dragging his feet or he’s trying to be a gentleman with her?
