Tales By Chi

We were at the hospital. Only my father knew how I managed to get Naza there. I mean my father in heaven not my daddy.

I had managed to throw a singlet over my body and wore a short that shape had forced me too. I had lifted Naza and was insisting on taking her to the hospital wearing only my boxers.

We kept pacing the hospital hallway, I and Shape. We had been over 1 hour at it before Willie and Chinelo joined us. The tensile atmosphere didn't stop Shape from rolling her eyes at him and letting out a loud hiss. She then walked far away from where he was.

"What happened?" he asked me, ignoring Shape's drama. Chinelo was already tugging at my hands. I was tempted to give him the full gist, I was really fucked and in a frantic mode but then, I couldn't explain that Chinaza fainted when she saw me and Shape on each other, not when Chinelo was there.

"She came into my room and fainted. I don't know how or why but she just slumped to the floor," I explained.
"Chim o," Chinelo gasped and threw her hands on her head. "Where is she now?"
"Inside, the doctor is with her, they said we should stay out."
"And is she awake yet?" Willie asked me.
"I don't know, that what they are trying to do I think."
It was a hell of a situation. Naza had slumped at my former lodge. I had no business being there and she too had no business being there. She had caught me and Shape in a position we had no business being in. The situation was indeed one hell of a situation.

Chinelo called her Mom in an instant and then the pacing continued with me doing the longest milage. Chinelo kept her eyes on Willie and ensured he maintained a certain distance from shape. Not like Shape cared. She wasn't even going to look at him.

Over 30 minutes later, my folks came. Daddy and mummy and along with Naza's folks too.

We walked into her ward and she was just there, seated on her bed and was biting the hell out of her lips, her hands on her waist. I was live on Nollywood.
"Maybe she broke her hips on the floor," I thought to myself. I hadn't even considered the baby in her belly. How naive of me that was. I wasn't inconsiderate or insensitive. I was just too small to know any ish about a pregnant woman, forget that I wasn't too small to put it in there in the first place. Then there was a rumor about an impending labor and then Naza pissed herself. It was so obvious, the water tickling down the bedspread and Naza's restlessness increasing by the minute. I walked up to her, I was guessing she was in so much pain to bear a malice with me. I held her hand but I was wrong. She brushed my hands off and stood on the floor weakly.

"I'm fucked," I muttered under my breath and moved back to stare from afar.
It wasn't a pretty sight and I just stared from a distance with Willie and the two father's with us. Shape was no where to be found. Naza would scream her head off if she dared come closer.

"She fainted in your room?" My father asked me in a pitiful tone. I nodded.
"Your room?" he repeated and I got the gist too late.
"We were as in. I went to collect some things and she and we.. " I stammered incoherently and he kept giving me that dehumanizing stare.
"Was the party at your lodge or William's lodge?" he asked me.
A lot of explanations followed. We didn't get to conclude before preliminaries were done and Naza was bundled into the labor room. Things dragged on for a long while, a very long space of time in which I said my first prayer for months. I prayed she make it out of that freaking room alive. I wasn't scared of what her folks would say or do, I was just scared for myself. What I would do should anything happen to her. I was going to jump off the second floor of that hospital building. Yes, that was what I intended doing.

Everyone was on their nerves end. Somehow, a lot of delay had to take place, a lot of technical jargons was involved, jargons which I only understood the part that said my Naza was still alive. Then the doctor and his team disappeared.

Nobody slept into the night. My father and her father had left. Willie was there, Nelo too. I had asked Shape to go home. Her presence there was freaking every one out and would also freak Naza out if she woke up and see her there.

5 am, I was seated at the hospital's lounge and nodding away. Willie was already sleeping away with Nelo's head on his laps. He thought the whole place was boring. So many beautiful Chica nurses to look at but no access to them because his other half was there with a leash on him.
6:35 am and we were all brought in to her ward. My mom and her mom taking the lead. My feet dragged from guilt and tiredness as we all flocked into her room. She was lying there on the bed, looking exhausted and the hospital cradle was by her side, the baby cries filling the whole of it. I saw the smile break out on my mother's face as Naza mom put her hands to her chest in a deep show of emotion. I think she actually cried or was close to. I kept staring at the cradle from a afar like it was my semester result. I couldn't get closer because my heart was pounding and I didn't know why.

"Hei, come and see Chinecherem junior o!" Nelo yelled, digging her hands into the cradle. Her mother hushed her.
"Do you want to infect him?" She said and I frowned. A him? Apparently, Naza had won. Willie rushed at the baby and smiled. He turned to me and nodded.
"No dispute bro. This one is yours. Carbon copy."

I turned to Naza with a pitiful look in my face. I felt like I needed her permission to see the baby. I had hurt her deeply and something was telling me that she would shush me away from the kid. She threw her face to the wall, away from my eyes. Soon, everyone was all over her, congratulating and asking how she was doing. Only Nelo threw a congratulation at me. I took the chance and sneaked up to the cradle.

It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. Clean as crystal and handsome like his father, his mother's skin. He was a neat ball of human flesh, the most beautiful boy I had ever seen. Maybe it was because he was mine. I didn't care. He was the most beautiful by his father's standard, by my own very standard. Yes! I was the father. I fell in love immediately and was nearly moved to tears. I was the lawful owner of a living thing. I am the father to a handsome baby boy. I was the daddy to my sweetheart's son. I loved the feeling. The thrill was extraordinary.
"I love you," I murmured.
"Please stay away from him," Naza said at me. Everyone went quiet for a split second. Then Chinelo asked "Why?"
My heart thumbed.
"Nothing, just stay away from my baby," she repeated.

My father came in at that instance and her father too. They had been called up the moment we were ushered into the room. You could easily see the happiness in both their faces. The baby was beautiful and I thought giving Naza the unwanted pregnancy was worth it after all. I just thought it, I didn't say it out.

And then the doctor walked in with the matron, a baby wrapped in a fluffy white towel in her arms and a broad smile on her face. I watched with confusion all over me. So did everyone else except Naza.
"The second one. A beautiful baby girl," the woman said and my jaw dropped.
"Wait, from where? Did you store them in a warehouse?" My father asked. Everyone laughed and then fell on the baby girl as she was laid near her brother. They were twins. It was like Christmas. Naza and I both got the present we wished for. The girl was an improved version of her brother. I was guessing she would be more beautiful than Naza. Naza was smiling this time around and she didn't stop even when stole a glance from her.
"Who came first?" I asked, lost in Joy.
"The boy," the woman said. I smiled.
"Naza I hope your breast is ready?" Nelo asked and ran to her on the bed. The laughter was in her eyes but not her face.
"Congratulations," the doctor said, holding his hand out to my father. My father picked it up in a firm handshake. "It wasn't easy, your wife is really a strong one and your twins are beautiful," he said. My father snatched his hadn't away and I tool the doctor's hand without being offered, a broad smile on my face.
"Thank you," I sang out and everyone laughed.

"Why are you all just looking? Carry them, they don't have teeth yet and won't bite," the doctor said and everyone scampered for the little doves. My mother got the boy and Naza's mother got the girl. Nelo and Willie were all over the them with camera flashes.

Everyone was happy, fully happy except I and Naza. We were happy but not as much as we ought to be. I messed up and the babies were welcomed between two feuding parents. Nevertheless, they were very beautiful and everyone loved them. And then my father drew closer to me. Somehow, I just knew he was going to misyarn.

"So the work is split in two. I buy one pampers and you buy the other one," he whispered. Everyone heard and everyone laughed. I and Naza inclusive.
"Hmmm hmmm," Naza's father cleared his throat and turned to Nelo and Willie. "When are you two having yours?"
"If you try that rubbish eh!" My mom yelled. 

"Jesus" she shouted as the footwear landed a little above her chest which i noticed made her breast jingle a bit.
I stood rooted to a point with my hands over my open mouth. I was oblivious of my posture. For some seconds i stood there not knowing what to do next. At this point Ada was observing her white t-shirt and the dirty mark the sneaker had left on it. I managed to walk a little bit closer to her and noticed Lucy was with her. Lucy lived in our lodge and we were all very close. I was a little glad on seeing Lucy there, at least someone to speak on my behalf.
"Am really sorry, i never meant to throw that at you" i started to say in a shaky voice while i fidgeted my fingers which i had managed to slide into my pockets. She looked up at me with an expression that was hard to decipher. Not smiling and not much frown there. She said nothing while trying to brush off the dirt on her shirt. Lucy cast a glance at me and gave me one of her naughty smiles. She pulled a hanky from her pocket and used it in blushing the spot off. I was tempted to go over and lend a hand but i just checked myself to avoid stories that touched.
"Hmm, no problem, i guess i'll just go in and take this shirt off, lucky my Lodge's over there" Ada finally said in a voice that made me want to ask her for a kiss.
"OK, i will see you later" lucy replied her while i stood there almost invisible to them but i was glad it seemed i would be left off the hook. Ada walked past me without even looking at me. I heaved a sigh of relief as i turned and my gaze followed her for some distance. Honestly i was observing her perky ass which Lucy seemed to notice. She dragged me into our Lodge holding me by my hand.
"it's like you want to throw the remaining shoe at her butt too" she said pulling me by my ear. I grimaced and pulled myself away. I saw kossi peeping out from his door with a wicked grin on his face. I pulled the remaining sneaker and threw it at him, this time making sure it landed him squarely on his head before he ran inside.
Emeka rushed out from the room, observed me and broke out into a laughter.
"see them, busy body" i said and picked the sneaker that i threw mistakenly at Ada. Kossi threw the other back at me and i caught it mid air.
"But seriously guy, Ada likes you o" Lucy said. I looked at her.
"Really?"
"yes nah, you needed to hear what she told emeka for stepping on her slippers that she kept outside and this one, you threw ur dirty shoe at her and she just let you go like that, maybe she dy trip for you" Lucy said smiling and winking at me. I looked at the three of them hissed and went inside with my sneakers clutched under my armpit. 

We got to an eatery besides a classroom block that belonged to the department of mass communication. I sat down, kossi pulled up a seat and sat besides me. I ordered for meat pie and soya milk for the both of us. Kossi looked at me with a wide grin on his face.
"i swear you be correct guy" he said as he opened the cover of the soy drink. I frowned as i
Picked my meat pie removing it from its package.
"Guy u go vomit all these snacks if i no see this girl" i said biting into the pie and sipping the drink with a straw.
"Bro chillax, you go soon confirm" he said
"okay o" i said looking around the environment and admiring the girls around. We soon got through with our snacks and sat there eagerly looking around. Kossi was busy greeting his course mates who came around, girls mostly.
I looked at my watch and the time was 4:36 pm. I had forgotten totally about the lecture i was supposed to be attending. I looked impatiently at kossi who was busy fondling with his phone.
"Guy, what's up nah? Make e no be say i miss my lecture and come miss this girl too o" i said.
"Chill nah guy. She go soon show up" he said still focused on his phone. I grabbed the phone from him, he looked up to protest but rather broke into a big smile looking in the direction of the classroom block. I followed the direction of his eyes and there stood my dream queen. She was gorgeous as ever, she was on a red fitted gown and black sneakers, her hair was braided. She was on sunshades. My heart was on the verge of running out of my chest. I was sweating or maybe i thought i was. For what seemed to me like a lifetime, i sat there staring at her as she stood near the classroom. I was jolted back to reality when kossi snatched back his phone. I stood up and was about to rush at her but was pulled back by kossi.
"Guy chillax" he said motioning me to sit down.
"For what nah? " I asked spreading my hands.
"cool down and watch" he said. I sat down reluctantly still staring at him with a deep frown.
He looked at me with a grin.
"Just watch" he said looking back in her direction.
I looked back to her position. A black Toyota camry pulled up a little distance from where she stood. She walked to the car and got in and the car drove away.
"See, you for go disgrace your self now" kossi said as he picked his books and stood up. I was really disappointed as many thoughts flew through my mind. Kossi pulled me up and we left the canteen. I was really downcast as we walked back to our lodge. Kossi wasn't helping matters as he was busy suggesting how i could get a car better than the camry to impress her.
"But kossi come" i said as we got to the junction that led to our logde.
"so you made me miss my lecture, made me buy you free lunch just so you can show Me my crush's boyfriend and his car?" i asked as i bent down and removed my right  sneaker. Kossi laughed and broke into a run. I threw the sneaker after him as he ran into our lodge, it landed on Ada who was just coming out of the gate. 

"How long have you been Standing there?" I asked stella
"I just came in to see a big smile on your face while you slept, tell me, did you win a lottery in your dream?" She asked as she sat on the bed close to me adjusting her hair. She looked quite attractive that afternoon. I sighed and scratched my head "Bae it's nothing, just had an enticing dream"
"Tell me about it" she said caressing my bare back.
"Well i dreamt i was banging you really hard" I said jumping up from the bed laughing as she threw a pillow at me. She hissed and laid back on the bed, i went over to her and lay beside her, brought her closer and planted my lips on hers. She was calm as we smooched for as long as 40 seconds and she pulled away. I fell flat on my back and stared at the ceiling. Stella was beside me but Eva was on my mind.
"Tochi look at the time" she said after a few seconds of silence. I looked at the wall clock and it was 2:23pm, i remembered our 3pm lecture and jolted up from the bed.
"Its like your dream made you forget you had a class" she said looking at me as i grabbed my towel.
"Babe once its about you, i tend to forget every other thing" I said tying the towel round my waist. She kept mute and just stared at me like she needed to learn what i was doing.
"Look away jare lemme change" i said rolling my eyes at her.
"Nothing new joor, I have seen bigger" she said waving her hand and looking the other way.
"Mumu girl" I said and threw my boxers at her and ran into the bathroom.

The time was 2:40pm. I held Stella's hand as we both strolled leisurely to our department for the proposed lecture. I heard someone call my name from afar. I turned and saw kossi walking up to where we were. Stella disengaged her hand and moved a little distance from me as kossi got closer. He waved at her and faced me.
"Guy hafar nah?" He asked as we shook hands.
"Bro i dey o. I wan tidy one 3pm lecture like that" i said looking at my watch.
"Ok ok, i get gist for you shaa" he said with a smack on his face while rubbing his palms together.
"Guy you too like gist, no waste my time with any irrelevant story abeg as you see say my sweetheart dy wait for me" i said and looked towards stella who smiled and looked away.
"Mumu na about that fair girl wey you carry her pen that day for medicals" he said licking his lips. I stared at him for a while and asked him how he knew i took pen from anyone at all.
"Guy i was there that day nah, just that your romance with her no gree you see me" he said nodding towards stella.
"Guy forget am shaa, abeg gist me about the girl, how i go take contact her"
"Guy na small matter, the babe na my department she dy" he said
"You mean mass comm" i asked folding my hands
"Yes nah, na im i been wan tell you but its like you dey busy and i no wan waste your time" he said slowly turning around to walk away. I held his cloth and pulled him back.
"Guy no vex abeg, waste my time biko, yarn me the gist" i said
"Oya nah, make we shift small" he said walking away. I turned to stella and winked at her.
"Bae just go ahead without me, i will be there soon"
She said ok and left while i ran after kossi.

She was dressed on a dark blue skinny jeans trouser with a white singlet on top. Over the singlet she wore a grey hooded long sleeve shirt. Her hairs were partly covered by the hood as some of it ran down a part of her face covering a bit of her eyes. Her face shone like the mid morning sun only out shined by the glitter of her lovely eyes. In summary, she was to die for.
A thousand thoughts ran through my mind as i let her in. I just stared at her as she stood there. Michael Jacksons speechless kept ringing in my head. Only then i came to realize what he meant in that song.
"Hi" she said waving like i wasn't seeing her.
"Sorry, forgive my manners, please sit down" i said pointing towards the only settee in the room.
She walked to the bed and sat on it disregarding the chair. I sat on the bed too keeping a little distance between us. I stared at her and she stared back. She appeared calm which is more than I can say about myself. We stared on for like 20 seconds but to me it seemed like a lifetime. Then she looked away staring around at the room
"Nice room" she said jostling me back to reality.
"Thank you" i said trying to calm my nerves. "How were u able to locate where i lived?" I asked her.
"Hmmm, i asked around and it turned out a lot of people knew you" she said
"And what did you ask about?" I asked really glad we were making a conversation
"Hmmm, actually i asked about a certain tall fair guy that barbs galaxy which he usually forgets to comb with a little hair on his chin " she said touching her head and chin in a funny way. We both laughed.
" But its true naa" she said in between laughter.
" But some people think the hair is cute" i replied looking into her eyes
" well i never said it wasn't cute, i was only trying to say i could borrow you my hair comb if yours is not ok too" she said smiling.
"Oh, its true, your pen" i said getting up and walked to our reading table and picked up the pen. I tried giving it to her,
"No, you can keep it, i just wanted to know where you lived and don't get flattered by that please" she smiled at me
I said thanks and smiled back.
"I'm going" she said and got up.
"Thanks for coming" i said touching her hand. As she headed for the door i called her eva, she stopped and looked back. I walked up to her, looking in her eyes i asked "can we be friends?" I asked nervously.
"I don't pay my enemies visits" she said half smiling
I held her hands and pulled her closer gently... "I meant this..." I said and put my lips against hers. She didn't resist. We kissed as long as 5 seconds and she withdrew her lips and headed towards the door as i watched with the greatest joy i had ever known in my heart.
"I'm going, and don't bother walking me out, you look like something straight out of a ghost dream " she said as she walked out of the door.
I crashed on the bed and shut my eyes, my lips broke into a big smile.
I thought i heard someone walk into the room, i tried opening my eyes but everywhere was blurred. I closed my eyes again, rubbed my hands against them and opened them again, i saw stella.
"Why are you smiling in your sleep" she said looking down at me on the bed
"Fuck!!" I said and jumped up. Jesus!, another Eva dream, i thought angrily and looked up at stella.

Two days gone and i haven't seen my dream Eva neither has she seen her pen. The thoughts going through my mind all those while was that i could have taken her number. Damn! I don't even know her real name. I hardly smiled much. It was funny how much of an effect this Eva girl had on me. Someone i dont even knw her name. I had strolled the lengths and breath of the schools medical hoping she would come back there. I missed her even though i had only seen her twice, thrice actually if i were to count in my dream. I began planning on making a poster with my name and number on it asking Eva to call for her pen.
"Guy unto say wetin happen? Dont come here and be disgracing your family because of a girl" Martin had said to me as i told him my plans about the poster thing.
"She doesn't even know my name" i said absent minded looking into space
"Tochi its like you no hear wetin i talk?" Martin asked. I looked at him with a frown on my face "so how do i locate her?" I asked
"Use Google map" he said getting up from the bed we were sitting on and picking his bag.
"Guy i get lectures now, give me that girl's pen make i use am jott since you no wan keep am" he said looking down at me. I looked up with half a smile on my face and said " Give you pussy, na your joystick you go use write today" he gave me a slight jab on my chin and walked out of the room laughing.
"Mumu, I know say you don kiss the pen to stupor because na girl get am" he said amidst laughter as he left. I smiled and fell back on the bed. I picked my phone and checked the time. It was 10:05 am, i decided to catch some sleep as i had one lecture by 3pm.
I lay across the bed and not long after i drifted off to sleep.
Someone knocked on the door, i tilted and looked in the direction of the door, the knock came again, i said come in and waited for about 5 seconds. The person knocked again. I grudgingly got up and walked to the already open door, pulled the curtains aside and across the little corridor locked by a burglary proof, Eva stood staring back at me.

As usual, there was a long queue at the medicals. Year one students lined up to get their blood examined. We approached and joined the queue with stella right in front of me. We started talking about taking the needle in the process of getting our blood.
"I'm scared, I heard its a bit painful" stella said
"Yea, I heard they will stab you like three, four times with the needle to get enough blood " I said loudly with a mischievous grin on my face while demonstrating the stabbing with my hands, people laughed, the ladies smiled uneasily. Stella turned at me with a look of disbelief in her eyes and said "Baby could you just comfort me?"
I circled my arms around her moderately shaped waist and half whispered into her ear "Baby don't worry, they won't use a knife, it's just a sharp big needle" she pinched me hard, I laughed and withdrew my hands and someone said from the front "they should jejely crucify us naa" Everyone laughed but i noticed only one even though she didn't laugh, she only smiled but to me, it was louder than every other sound there. I looked at her as she stood there. The Eve girl from my dream, the one that made me run into stella. My heart pounded as i grew cold all of a sudden. All i just wanted was to go there and lift her in my hands.
I don't know what my expression looked like but stella looked up at me and asked
"Tochi why is your face like this?"
"Nothing" I replied absentmindedly
She nudged me on my stomach and I squeezed my face and looked at her
"Please stop caressing my six packs " I said in a low sassy tone and smiled. She smiled back and in my mind I thought " why must she always intrude anytime i set my eyes on this "fine china" ".
"I'm coming" I whispered to stella as i left the queue and started walking up to where she was. I got closer to her and reached to touch her, my heart pounded so hard I thought everyone noticed the noise it made. I quickly brought down my hands and put them in my pocket. I looked around and nobody seemed to notice my little drama. I relaxed a little.
"Eve please can I borrow your pen?" I said in a not so audible voice . She didn't even make a move or look at me. Maybe she didn't hear me i thought. I coughed and touched her, she turned to me with this charming but low self esteem inducing frown on her face.
"I was asking for your pen" i managed to reiterate with the highest level of seriousness i could muster. Her face lightened and my heart skipped as the beauty of her ovally shaped face came much more to the fore. I felt hot all over.
"Well, first my name is not eve or whatever and secondly, isn't that a pen am seeing on you" she said nodding towards my breast pocket.
" Like seriously your name isn't eve? But that was what you told me" i said as i bent my head with a little frown on my face
"Told you where? " she asked with a slight puzzled look on her face. I was going to answer in my dreams but checked myself as I said never mind.
"Besides I wouldn't be asking for your pen if mine was ok" i said
She observed me from head to toe as i was some good she wanted to buy and brought out her biro, handing it over to me she said
"Please return it immediately you are done"
I smiled and walked back to my position in the queue with a pen I wasn't going to use. At least i needed a reason to meet up with her again.
Stella was giving me this naughty look as i walked back to her.
"I thought you went up there to create space for us" she asked as i settled behind her.
"Yes bae but those people up there were getting ready to eat me so i ran back."
"Hmmm, so what are you doing with her pen"
"Well i borrowed it just in case i needed it" i said
"So all this sweating just because you wanted to borrow pen" she said almost laughing
"leave me joor. Didn't you see as i ran up there now, thats why i'm sweating "
Which kind wahala be this, i thought as she started laughing. 

Fridays at school was always considered not different from Saturdays. Lectures hardly hold so we just gist our time away. I was with my guys discussing about everything and nothing, most of us were sitting on the desk, i was at the extreme. The time was just 9 am. I took a glance around the hall and noticed stella looking at me, we had gotten a bit closer since i ran into her or she ran into me. She was with her girls, the types that when they look at you they see books. I waved at her, she waved back and started coming towards me. She got to where we were sitting, my guys were still talking but an observant me knew they were eagerly waiting to eavesdrop on whatever it was stella was about to say to me.
"Hi" she said
"Hello, stella how far? I asked
"I'm fine and you"
"I just dy, wetin you bring for me?" I asked giving her the mr charming smile
"My humble self" she smiled, a cute smile i observed.
"Well i can manage, lets start with a kiss" I said with a naughty grin as i noticed the tempo in my friends conversations drop, those bad guys..
"Well you can't manage me joor, am enough for you" she said with a fake frown
I smiled and rubbed her hands while pouting my lips "well babe, give me everything"
She laughed and punched me lightly on the chest.
"I wanted to know if you have gone for your medical tests and stuffs" she finally asked
"Nop, i just got my form last week so i just have the x-ray and blood test left to do" i explained scratching my head.
"Well i want to go do mine today, why don't we go together" she said with a little plea in her eyes
I looked up and frowned like i was in deep thought
"Hmmmm, well yea but you have to beg for my company" i said and smiled at her
She bowed and said please
"Bribe me" i winked
She came closer and pecked me, i was shocked but i didn't let it show. At this point my guys almost stopped their fake conversation.
She laughed and i looked at her
"Ok, i accept. Lets go"
she ran back to where her friends were seated and picked her handbag. We both started leaving, steve, one of the guys shouted
"Tochi so you wan carry her go abort the belle for medicals abi?" Everyone laughed
I turned and shouted "your father" at him, put my hands accross stella's shoulders, she slid hers around my waist as we left the hall. I didn't see them but i felt everyones eyes on us.

I got up to a warm meal of indomie prepared by my brother. We both sat on the bed while our two lodge mates kossi and Emeka sat on the rug, we surrounded the steaming food dished out in a large saucer. I was really moody as i did more staring at the food than i ate it. All of a sudden, my brother laughed and turned to me "Guy which level nah. How you go dy sleep, dy call baby and dy smile like mumu at the same time, nawa you o."..
I looked at him and hissed. Emeka and kossi were visibly trying to suppress their laughter. I was weak and fuming inside at the same time. I thought to myself "so all these perfect romance was just one stupid afternoon dream".
I put my fork into the food, rolled up some noodles and put it in my mouth, i swallowed hard. Staring across the room and softly asked
"But Martins why naa"
From the corner of my eyes i could see him raise his head up with a frown on his face aimed in my direction
"why what? He asked
"Why must you wake me up at that instant, you just disrupted my kiss with this chic and i no go forget am"
For some seconds he looked at me with a puzzled look on his face like he was trying to understand what i meant and then they all burst out laughing.
Kossi looked at me and said
"Oga no vex, go back to sleep and collect that kiss make we see if this indomie go do us" they laughed
"But seriously that girl must be nicki minaj, guy imagine how you were smiling and screaming my baby, imagine wetin for happen if you completed that kiss, maybe you would have scattered my pillow with your teeth"  Martin said amidst laughter.
I got up, stretched myself to breaking point, hissed and walked outside, i could hear them eating and laughing as I left.
I walked outside the gate. The sun was still high up, i noticed a familiar figure walking past, i stared sheepishly at her as she walked down a bit and catwalked into a logde adjacent to mine.
Two guys passing by stared hard at me, one of them with a wicked grin on his face shouted in my direction. "Guy easy nah, no be only you see her"
I gave them this killer frown and noticed other passers-by stared at me like i was doing the Michael Jackson moonwalk. I stared back at myself and noticed how my reproductive organ was raised in an awkward angle
" yaaay, this Ada no go kill me for this world" i half screamed and ran inside.

The dark sky was lit by sparkly stars surrounding a half crescent moon, it was a bit chilly but wasn't so much noticed by us. Maybe because she lay on my arms, we kept each oda warm enough. My heart told me this was probably the best night of my life only second to when i had my first sex. There she was looking up at me from my arms. I could hold her like that forever, the girl of my dream. I could hardly believe she was mine. I bent low n planted a light kiss on her forehead, she looked into my eyes and giggled, oh that smile, it was like the sun just lit in the middle of the night. She looked up at the sky and called me
" Tochi"
"Eve" I called her back
"look up in the sky and tell me how many stars you can count"
I looked up and said "a million thousands of them"
She smiled again and stroke me on the cheek with her tender fingers, my hormones rushed, she looked into my eyes and said "thats how long i'm going to love you"
Tears welled up in my eyes.. I bent to kiss her, she said wait and raised her hands. She said mosquitoe and slapped my cheek. It was a little hard and her once tender palms was a little rough. My face froze for a split second as i called her baby, another slap followed.
I opened my a eyes a bit.. They were blurred.. I could hear a hoarse voice that was not hers say
"Na who you dy call baby, this guy sef. Common get up there!
I rubbed my hands on my eyes and opened them again. This time i didn't see my beautiful eve but my brother laughing sheepishly at me with two of our logde mates on the floor laughing like people on an epileptic seizure.

Ada was a girl you would love from like 10 miles away except of course you are gay. But don't count on that, she was wow enough to make a gay niggar straight. A glance at her face will make you hunger for a ripe paw paw and a look at a ripe paw paw will throw you into a desperate need to see her face once more.
Description of people had always been a tough job for me talk more of a perfect angel that's more likely to make her creator jealous of his work. She was the perfect height. Not too tall and not short. The type you can kiss comfortably without breaking your neck.
She was fair and spotless. Her shape was the hour glass thing. Boobs like an over inflated balloon and bums like a royal throne, i swear you could sit on them and cross your legs comfortably. Summary of Ada was that she was too good that she had a player like me scared of even approaching her. I just stroked my emotions from afar each time I saw this angel walking among humans wondering whether her feet touched the ground.


I was in my 100 level in the University, electrical engineering my course. I had always love messing around with electronics and always thought it would be like that studying electrical engineering as a course. I soon came to realize that i will solve everything only on paper, how to start a car, u solve for x and y, so i would just have to solve my way out.
My department was an uninteresting one that year.
We were like 58 altogether, new names always popped up once in a while.
We were all boys except for a few that looked like Girls or rather they were girls but their demeanor, countenance and stuffs, men you could just count them in among the guys. I can't say am a whizkid but i sure do know how to pass my exams excellently.

It was on a Wednesday, it just stopped raining and the weather was just too cool. Cold breeze flew by once in a while. I was headed for my department from the library for a 3 o'clock lecture. The time was 2:48 pm. I was walking leisurely to the tune of music coming out from my high bassed monster beats by dre headphones, the fake one though. All of a sudden something caught my sight. It was coming from the opposite direction. For a while everything seemed to stand still. It was like the sun came out of the cloudy sky. My headphones went dumb, maybe it was looking at the object that caught my attention too. This girl, this out of the ordinary creature, the cause of my confusion, was on white jean trouser resting on a pair of black plain sneakers with white sole, over ha well shaped upper part rested a white shirt with unbottened fly over a black singlet.
For a While i was busy taking in all these details, i forgot if i was walking or I stood still, all i knew was that i ran into something or something ran into me. We collided. Our books fell, i shifted my gaze to this intruder, it was my course mate Stella and by the look on her face, i decided maybe i was the one that ran into her but we all know about girls and their blame games. I murmured my apologies. Helped her pick her books and picked mine too. She asked if i was going for the 3 o'clock lectures, i nodded like a zombie still stupefied by what i saw earlier on. She then said she was going too so we both walked towards our department. I looked back and didn't see her again. I thought to myself, Maybe my guardian angel showed herself to me because she was too beautiful to be an earthly being. But if so, why was she displaying her boobs?
That days lecture was not for me. I was hoping to see my guardian angel again because as far as i was concerned, my class started and ended the moment i set my eyes on her.

I spent the first 1 hour plus of the party inside the toilet, offloading the tons of alcohol in my system into the WC through my mouth. The party kicked off around 6pm in the evening but for us, the close associates of the celebrant. The party started the moment we got to Willie's lodge. The booze was killing and for those that loved the herb, there was more than enough. Never knew Willie was a skunk. He was simply too clean to be suspected.

The room was like some party house in Jamaica. Every tiny hole was filled with smokes from the weed. I just sat on the bed, clutching my green bottle and getting high on the weed being smoked by others.

The God of signs and wonders had done it for us. Shape suddenly decided she wasn't coming for the party, of her own accord and James was more than happy that my hook up attempt had failed. He was enjoying the weed with the rest of the guys and getting high and mighty. That was how I got drunk and landed myself in the hotel's banquet hall's toilet.

Back to the party. There was enough exposure of flesh and a whole lot of people present didn't even know what the party was all about. They just came to have fun. As for Willie, I think he had smoked and drunk himself into a state where I was actually guessing he had forgotten that he was hosting the party with 5 other guys of his who were also graduating. James was busy, jumping from one behind to the other and trying to get every chic within his class for himself. Me, Chinecherem, I was just on the floor of the toilet, my face in the bowl of the WC, throwing the alcoholic content into the toilet.

It didn't last tho. I had dragged myself off the floor and into the party hall. I didn't want to miss the action. I staggered to and fro and soon found myself behind one incredible booty, clutching and twisting to my taste. The drinks, the weed and the girls were free.

The party was getting to its fun climax when Chinelo bumped in with another set of her cute friends and the word, Fun was redefined. The dj cranked it up higher and the hall throbbed. Chinelo secured her asset which was Willie and I searched around to see if I could find a Chinaza replica. I couldn't but girls with good body like shape were around. I picked another green bottle to replenish the one I had lost and attached myself to a free girl. She wasn't with any guy and was busy rocking another chic, a fellow girl. It pained me deep to my heart to watch a pretty, curvy thang like her wasting all those natural resources on a fellow girl that wouldn't appreciate them more than I would. I walked for her. Excuse me dance was trending all over the hall so I just said that and she obliged me. The she threw herself at me and we threw all cautions to the wind. The chica got real grind and she rocked the sweet bejesus out of me. I dropped my bottle to the floor, gently and held her tight with both hands. She was as soft as cotton and my bulge just scratched her meaty behind. She didn't mind and instead came for my dick with her booty, twisting it with each twist of her waist. I wound my arms around her the closure became tighter. My body on hers and hers on mine.

She turned after some minutes of backing me and a change of rhythm. She faced me and our face came closer. I could smell the weed right of her breath. She was pretty, sexy and stoned. That was the baddest combination you can ever get in a girl. Only a rich or lucky guy can have that kind of girl for the night and I count myself as lucky. I wasn't going to let that one off my grasp in a long while.

Our face came together and without a hint, she plucked my lips right there on the dance floor. Hers tasted sweet so I encouraged the soft romance until she let go herself. She had started it so I wasn't pissed that she ended it. She walked out of the floor to the nearby bar and reached for my bottle on the floor. I picked it off the ground and it was empty already. How manage, I didn't know.
I walked after her and met her mixing her glass of Hennessy with a bit of codeine and wiping the sweat off her brow.

"What are you doing?" I asked as the proper novice that I was.
"Boiling water," she said and drowned the glass in a gulp. I kept looking at her with my mouth ajar. She did another mixing and pushed the glass to me. I wanted to appear the correct bad guy so I did my own gulping, nearly coughing my eyes out from the acrid taste of the cognac in my throat. She let out a little smile out the corner of her mouth and turned to walk away.
"Where are you going?" I asked.
"The toilet," she said and I nodded.
"Go, I will wait here," I said and she kept standing where she was, looking at me in a way I couldn't understand.
"What?" I asked after some seconds of staring match between us.
"I said am going to the toilet," she said. I spread my hands.
"So what?"
"Come with me," she said, giving me a look that hardened my dick at the prospect of what was lurking begin her mind. I jumped at her and she dragged me off to the ladies.

We walked through with all eyes on me like a celebrity. I wasn't a celebrity, I was just at the wrong place with the right girl.
"What are you doing here?" one of the girls there asked.
"I am the plumber, I came to fix the pipe," I replied as the girl dragged me into one of the toilets and locked the door. There was no time for dallying. Her pants went down and her skirt went up. Then she placed her left foot on the closed WC and pulled me closer as my trouser dropped to the floor.

It was all rocking again as the party seemed like it would never end. People were disappearing in a pair of male and female and reappearing back more closer and exasperated. Willie had done his own disappearing and reappearing with Nelo after she had nearly raped him on the dance floor, courtesy of her indulging in too much drank and a little weed, I counted up to 3 times that they had disappeared and reappeared. James was simply no where to be found as I and my new girl snuggled to each other, all wet with sweat and the sperm that had missed the entry point.

At the corner, a guy sat on the floor crying his eyes out to an audience.
"Nna what is it naa?" A guy had asked him and he let out a high pitch sob before replying.
"I was coming here with my Range Rover, my only Range Rover. My 2019 Model Range Rover," he paused and put his hand against his chest and cried again.
"Oga what happened to the car?" Someone asked again. Somehow a huge part of his audience was finding the whole thing funny, some laughing away at the drama.
"The jeep fell into the river and disappeared. My Range Rover disappeared," the guy wailed. "And my mother was in that car."
"Make we comot here. Na highness dy worry this one, he don high." one of the guys said. Everyone turned with laughter and started walking away. The wailing guy changed his tone.

"Nna, the things wey dy happen for this country dy pain me," he cried as I walked into the dance floor with my stoned chic. 

My exams wasn't going to stop me from partying away Willie's 5 years at school celebration. First, it was my only brother's birthday and second, I loved parties. Who knows, I may land myself a confirm chica at that one party. It was a lot of stress going from my house to my former lodge, as it is now, to convince Shape to allow James take take her out on that given Sunday.

"Why should I let James take me out?" she had asked me, almost shooting me out of my chair with her eyes.
"Because you need it. See how you are losing weight because of Willie while Willie is adding flesh. You need to go out and flex and be happy," I explained, searching for a better reason to make her stay out of that party.
"And you can't take me out yourself?" she asked.
"Me? Noo. I have a condolence visit to attend with my father in the village that sunday," I said, scratching my head. Fortunately for me, only Naza knows that I always scratch my head whenever I tell a very bloody lie.

"Let James do it baby, you will have fun," I emphasized.
"Did he send you to come and tell me?" she asked. I shook my head. I hadn't even told James about the plan. He was planning on how he was going to take over all the ladies at Willie's party, now I am there, making an arrangement that will tie him up with Shape throughout that Sunday. Not that he won't enjoy it though. Only a gay won't love a hookup with a Shape like Shape. Even a gay will be thrilled a bit.

"I am not going anywhere abeg, If you or Willie won't take me out, then forget it," she declared and I fell back on my seat, eyeing her and extracting a smile on her pretty face with the looks in mine.
"Why are you even so bothered with having me hang out?" she asked and I pulled closer to her.
"Because I care about you sweetheart. I want when Willie comes back. I want him to see how happy you are and even how more beautiful you are and how more shapy you are. Then he won't ever dump you again," I sang out. She smiled and frowned again.
"Chinecherem shebi I told you to stop calling me shape?"
"Me? Stop calling you shape? The day I stop calling you that is the day I stop loving you. Do you want me to stop loving you?" I asked and she shook her head.

"So you see. Try and be happy, flex your life and you will see how that stupid Willie will come running back to you. Yours curves are even more dangerous than a sharp bending corner even better than that Chinelo own," I said and she went into a laughing fit. Now she was relaxed and I made my demands again.

"Please let someone take you out. I love you, Willie loves you and James loves you. Chinaza over loves you sef and we need you to be happy, very happy. Just let James flex you on Sunday," I said, rubbing her laps and trying not to sleep with her at that point in time.
"No, you will take me," she said
"Shebi I told you that I am going for burial on sunday?"
"No problem, you will take me out next 2 weeks Sunday," she said and relaxed on the bed. "Willie's graduation party is this Sunday by the way so I am busy as it is."
I froze. That was the subject I had been trying so hard to erase off her mind. The exact reason I am trying to book her up with someone else to keep her busy. Now she just remembered. The more reason she will refuse to even go out on Sunday even if I wanted to take her out myself. Either ways, I was too tired to pursue it any further. I just sat back on my innoson rubber chair.

"That's true," I whistled, guaging up Shapes protruding chest.
"So you won't go?" she asked me, snapping me out of my evil thoughts.
"Why not. I am going for sure. Who will now rock the party if I don't go?"
She eyed me for some seconds and then I realized she may find out the real reason I wanted James to take her out but then, that was none of my business and I was guessing she wasn't bright enough to figure that out.

"I thought you said you will be going for a condolence visit with your father?" she asked me.
"Not any more, the Person didn't die again," I said and started a whistle. She fell on the bed and started her boob shaking laughter. I just watched in amazement how a 19 year old girl like her could amass such massive juggs and they still stood firm and round.

I checked my wrist watch and the time was 4pm. I had to start going home before my father would ask me if we wrote our exams with candle. I stood up and shape followed suit. She was sexy enough but I was in a repentance mode. I have cautioned myself from banging anyhow girls. It wouldn't kill me.
"See you soon," I said, falling into her overly loaded hug. One that pinned me against her boobs and had me massaging her every tiny bit of her backside.
"So you and I will go to that party together," she said and I nodded. I kissed her goodbye and ran out of the room for my house. 

There
are three tiers of Government, the executive, the legislative and the Judiciary. The three functions separately and as we know. The Legislative makes the law, the Executive enforces it and the Judiciary interprets it. I am not here to lecture you on Administrative Law, I am just trying to tell you that those powers are separated but in my house, it's works like the trinity, Three persons in one God.

My father alone controls these three powers in our family. He makes the law, interprets it and enforces it all by himself and you can't seek redress in a court, that's because he will be the judge and will rule against you and enforce the judgement on you. That was it. All my mother does is to complain, successfully some times and unsuccessful most of the time with legal backing from us his children. All of a sudden, he decided I wasn't going back to my lodge. I got a girl pregnant and got robbed and beaten to stupor there. The place was a bad omen according to him and the next bad news might be that I raped a girl.

"Are you sure he will be able to concentrate in this house?" my mother had asked and my father continued in his interpretation of his own law.
"All I am saying is, since he has no property at school now, he should write his exams from this house. After all when I was the University, I didn't live in a lodge."
"That was because you lived in the school hostel," my mom said.
"What's the difference? Home and hostel?"
"There is a big difference, it's you that will start disturbing him with watching of cars and other chores."

Lovebirds, that's how they show their own love, argue and argue. One can easily tell an argument that my father would win right before it has even started. I was going to write my exams from the house and next semester, I was moving into a new lodge, that was the verdict as passed by my father and soon to be enforced.

So I left for my room, Amara was waiting there for me already. She had received the news of my temporal homecoming with unrivaled joy. Her baby boy was going to spend some time with her. She was growing and glowing too. She would have been my proper side chic if she wasn't a relation.

"Won't you go to your room," I asked without joy in my voice. I was a bit angry at my father's decision. If for nothing, I was going to miss shape's steady presence.
"Are you chasing me away," she asked, standing up from the bed. I sized her up and decided to cheer up a bit. She was my only refuge in that trying time.
"No, come here," I said and made her sit on my lap while I frisked her amazing body in her sleek black gown. Only the scent of her body will make a virgin guy cum.

"So you will start going to school from the house?" she asked me, I nodded and added
"For a short while shaa."
"It doesn't matter. At least you will be here for long."
I nodded and focused on my karma sultra with her. My lips on her neck, up to her ear and finally her lips. She was all jittery and pulled her lips away to continue the gist.

"Do you know that Chidimma is pregnant?" sh asked me.
"So what?" I asked and picked up her lips again. She pulled them away again and stared at me. Then I remembered Chidimma her friend. I stopped the romance.
"Pregnant?" I asked her. She nodded and my heart thumbed.
"Sit on the bed," said to her and she obeyed. Just then, my door banged open and Willie bumped in.

"Amara go and wash plates, I want to have a senior men discussion," he said to her, Amara frowned.
"There is no plate to wash. All of them have been washed."
"Go down and see if someone is calling you," he said and pulled her up, gently pushing her out. He turned to me on the bed.
"I need help from you," he said.
"I don't have money,"I said with a frown. The gist Amara gave me was dealing with me internally.

"It's not money," he said and sat beside me.
"What?"
"It's shape."
I turned to look at him, getting interested in what he was going to ask for all of a sudden.
"Ehe?"
"I need you to keep her busy next week Sunday."
"Why?" I asked
"My party is on that day and I had invited her earlier on. Now This girl, Chinelo is around and I don't need a version 2 of what happened at my lodge to happen in my party, its going to be a deadly party crasher, so I don't need her to attend the party at all," he explained and I nodded.
"That's very easy, keeping her busy is easy, we are already relating on another level. So we will just spend the time together that day," I said and he shot me a terrible look.
"What do you mean spend time together?" he asked.
"You know naa, how else can I keep her busy?" I asked.
"No, I need you at my party. You can't stay with her, just figure out a way to do it. You can find a guy to take her out or lock her up in that your lodge," he said and stood up with a stretch and a yawn.
"We will find a way," I said and he nodded, then turned in a fast twist at me.

"I just heard what you said now," he said. I stared at him all confused.
"What was that?" I asked.
"You said you are relating on another level?"
I nodded slowly.
"You are exploring her Savannah?" he asked me. No reaction from me. The look on his face made it impossible for me to react.
"Are you aware that shape has this problem with reasoning about things?" he asked me, pointing his hand to his head.
"How?"
"Don't you know that she is going to tell Chinaza?" he said and sat down on the bed again. "Listen, I didn't say she may or might tell Chinaza, I said she will tell her about it. Abi you don't know that she is accusing Naza of pushing Nelo back to me?"
"So?" I asked.
"She will tell her that she is fucking you just to get back at her and Naza will poison you, Shape and your baby in her womb. Shebi I told you to stop being an amateur."

I looked up and down. I was getting rusty with this player thing. I think I just like sex a lot and not fine girls. I wasn't much bothered with shape leaking our romantic secret to my bae at that point in time. All that stood before me was Chidimma being pregnant. I should stop touching all these amateur girls. Not that I was scared that the pregnancy will be mine, after all, I can't be the only one fucking a girl like her. It just can't be mine, someone cannot score an own goal twice, that would be madness and I am not mad, my sperm is not mad.

"So what will I do?" I asked him.
"Nothing. Just wait for the poison but before then, make sure you keep her busy on Sunday and attend my party. You need serious tutorial on dating more than two girls, I wonder what you think I meant when I said she was going to revenge it all on you."

That was it, he stood up and left the room, pushing Amara back inside. She came and sat beside me.
"So as I was saying, you know Chidi that leaves down the road?" she asked.
"That toad head? The one his legs looks like plier?" I asked and she nodded with a laugh.
"Yes, what about him?" I asked.
"Chidimma is saying that he is responsible."
I heaved a heavy sigh and my heart rate slacked by a 100 beats.
"But I am not sure she is right. I think the baby should be yours. I don't want her to give your baby to someone else."

I nearly flogged her out of my room. 

"In the name of Jesus, any hand that is involved in robbing my son will know no peace for the rest of his life!"
A loud echo of amen swept through the whole room.
"For stealing his properties, may they have all there individual destinies stolen!"
My amen was the loudest. My laptop and my phone had meant a great deal to me.
"Abba father! You promised me that no evil man shall lay a hand on these innocent, precious children you gave to me and therefore for laying a hand on my son, descend on the enemy's camp with your mighty hand and beat the devil out of their various lives in Jesus name!"
My amen was low and I turned to Willie who was kneeling beside me and throwing out Amens like punches.

"Did you tell them that I was beaten?" I asked him in whispers. He turned to me, eyed me and continued the Amen chants. My mom kept up with the curses until she had made a mess of the robbers lives with her prayers then we sang praises and made the final sign of the cross.

"Dad, Mom, as in they cleared everything," Willie continued and I kept nodding as back up. My mom crossed her hand over her chest and kept repeating her chants of "ewoo!".
"The television, the laptop, his phone even his clothes," Willie said again and my father coughed, dropping his paper on the side stool. He removed his spectacles and stared at me.
"You have a television?" he asked after a staring match between us. Amara scoffed, my mother turned to him with disbelief all over her face. I turned to Willie with that "Shey you have seen what you have caused?" look on my face. Then my mother came to my rescue.

"Is that all you can hear from what they have been saying here since? Criminals attacked your son, beat him like a school drum and left with all his property and all you heard is that he has a television?" she asked.
"He is not dead naa, is he?" my father asked.
"And so? Can't you see how the have beaten my son and changed his color to black?"
Everyone laughed, even my father.
"Was he white before?" he asked.
"I don't know but I don't think I have enough Children already, talk less of the one armed robbers will come and kill for me," she said, adjusting and readjusting her head tie.
"Come and have more naa," my father said, picking up his paper from the stool again.
"Yes, we need another fresh chic in this house," Willie said.
"Yes, a cute baby girl," I seconded.
"No, we need another boy, the two I have are gradually turning into a heap of wastes," my father said and kept peeking at the paper over the rims of his spectacle.
"My children are not wastes biko, my baby boys are responsible," my mother defended.
"Yes, we need a girl, when aunty Uju and Prisca gets married now, I will be the only girl left the in house," Amara said. My father turned to her.
"Go and born a girl naa, are you not old enough?" he said. Another argument was going to break out and replace my trending topic of the robbery. That was one thing I and Willie wasn't going to allow.

"Dad, our exams are starting next week," I said and he turned to me.
"Good, go and read," he said.
"My books are back at school and I need go back."
"I thought they stole everything?" he asked.
"Armed robbers don't steal books," Willie chipped in.
"Are you one?" my father asked him.
"No, please don't call my son a thief,I won't take that, no way," my mother protested.
"I didn't call him a thief, I was only asking if he was."
"Are you a thief?" my mother asked him.
"God forbid," he said and circled his hand over his head, snapping his fingers.
"Then why ask him if he is one. He can only be a thief if one of his parents are and I am not a thief," my mother said, eyeing him. My father turned to her with a frown.
"I am not a thief, stop looking at me like that," he said. Everyone laughed. Then I pressed further my charges. I told him my bed was also stolen and my room was bare, only my locker and books were spared.

"You have to change lodge then. You can't be staying in a criminal infested area. How can someone come into another person's room and pack everything like he is relocating?" my father asked. We kept quiet. I hated that idea of relocating, he might end up suggesting the school hostel for me, that was my fear.

"You going over to temp site, I heard rents are cheaper there too," he finally said and I heaved a sigh.
"That would be next semester,"I said and he nodded.
"But I need to get back to school and I need to buy somethings like phone, mattress, pillows and I even need a laptop for my online reading," I sang out as the smile disappeared from his face and broke out on Willie's. The mattress theft was his idea. He was organizing a graduation party and he had blown the tuxedo money on booze and girls and had nothing for the party. We were in agreement to share the loot.

"You will take your mother's phone and laptop, I don't think she is using them," he said and shifted further from her, avoiding an impending blow.

We came to a conclusion, he would provide the money for the items after he might have done a market survey for them. He thought I was a crook and might inflate the prices. I had no problem with that, let him bring the money first.

He came back the next day with a brand new laptop and an android phone, a very good phone I must confess. But then, Willie was moved to tears, not tears of joy, mind you. It was tears of pain, all his plans on doing an apriko on those items had been dashed against the wall and what was more, my father had already ordered for a new mattress to be delivered to the house the next day, he was going to drop me off at school with them.

Apparently, no money for Willie's party and new tuxedo.
