DIARY OF AN ADDICT - Episode 10
.
Wednesday for me is a work-free PUBLIC and PRIVATE holiday… with Grace alone!
.
Fast forward. Wednesday morning, 10 am

.
I did the normal chores that day: cleaning and washing. I checked the fuel tank of my generator and noticed it was getting low. Quickly, I rushed to the filling station and bought for myself enough fuel that will serve me for 8hrs. There must be no power interruption. In fact, that day, I’m going on generator all through. If Nepa like make them bring light, e no concern me
.
Before 12noon, I had finished all my chores. So, I called Grace just for a reminder. Guess what guys, her phone was off. MMM (Mogbe Moku Modaran). I tried again and again,nd again and again; same result.
.
I became so restless…and disturbed. I realised I haven’t eaten anything since I woke up,I settled for 2 wraps of Gala and a chilled Maltina. Hey guys, not that I was expecting anything romantic but, you know, who in the world will pass up the chance of having a beautiful girl like Grace under his roof?
.
I mean,i just can’t imagine it. After comsuming the Gala, I tried her number again, same result. I checked the clock, it’s 1:42pm. At this stage, I resigned to defeat. Apparently, Grace only pulled a stunt on me; proving to me that she’s a bit smarter than my smartness, a revenge I guess
.
Suddenly, a sense of guilt engulfed my heart. I had betrayed my good friends just because of Grace,I was abt calling them when my phone rang
.
Not Grace. It was a number I don’t have as contact. I answered the call and this was what ensued:
.
Caller: Hello Femi
.
Me: Hello. Who are my speaking with
.
Caller: It’s me Grace. This is my friend’s number. Sorry my phone ran out of power and our generator is faulty. I’m so sorry
.
Me: No problem,I understand
.
Grace: I’m still coming o. Let me charge my phone a little and I’ll be on my way
.
Me: Why not come right away? I’ve got enough fuel to charge a thousand phone,if you don’t mind
.
Grace: (Laughs) Femi ooo. Ok. I guess I’ll start coming then. Send me your address please
.
Me: Ok. I’ll do that once u drop the call,Wat will you like to eat?
.
Grace: Femi, prepare whatever you think befits Grace
