DIARY OF AN ADDICT - Episode 17

Also, I was a student of The Polytechnic, Ibadan, Lagos Annex, studying Accounting. My Mondays to Fridays are virtually free for me, except I’m in shop…or church. Funny. Church huh? Yes, church

One Sunday evening, Godwin called me into his apartment and said, “Femi, my younger sister will be visiting from school tomorrow. She had decided to spend her holiday here with me. So, please take care of her on my behalf. Make her feel at home and comfortable.” “Alright sir! You can count on me for that. I won’t disappoint you”, I replied. He laughed and said, “I trust you now. Femo my man.”

I need to say here that Godwin had no knowledge of my runs with girls. How would he have known? A guy that hardly sleeps at home? I doubt it. I felt a little bit uneasy when he entrusted her little sister into my hands
.
He created a conflict in my heart. Who should I obey: my good friend Godwin or my ever-attentive 3rd leg? Hope you guys feel my dilemma?
I was seriously on the edge, especially when he showed me her picture on his phone. I was like, ‘dang!’ this girl is sweet (coughs in presence.) i left his house that evening a disturbed man

A part of me was yearning for maturity and to act responsible, atleast, for once; the other was like, “yeah, another cream on my ice. Jackpot!” Come what may, I resolve, I’m gonna give it my best shot: right or wrong. Like one of the lines in Tyler Perry’s stage drama ‘Why Did I Get Married?’, “if you’re doing good or bad, make sure you feel good while doing it”, I was bent on one thing, give it my best shot

5am in the morning, Godwin was off to work. He knocked on my door to inform me and also gave me a sum of 10k for her sister when she arrives. “Ok bro. She’ll be fine.” I assured him. “Ok Femi. I’ll call you guys in the evening.”

He said and left. I lost appetite for sleep immediately he left. Had Godwin knew that his sister would be staying with a connasuir* (Don’t mind the spelling. The word means a man who loves women), probably he would have changed his mind, I thought. I resolved that morning to be on my best behavior, be brotherly, nice, cool and friendly,No more, no less
