Different thoughts flooded my mind until she tapped the table nd said,
.
Anita: I’m feeling sleepy,can I sleep here atleast for another 2hrs before going inside?
.
Me: (Speaking like a China Doll) Yes sure,u’re free
.
I excused her while she lay comfortably on the chair. Then,I turned off the TV and played some collections of R&B Songs,a lullaby to make her sleep,She thanked me for it while I make my way to my room. I felt so ashamed of myself that night. I couldn’t sleep,I was just imagining what would be going on in her mind
.
Suddenly she knocked on the door of my room,
.
Anita: It’s 12midnight Femi,I’m going inside. See you tomorrow. Don’t forget to switch off the generator. Goodnight.
.
Me: Goodnight Anita
.
What a day! What a day!
.
Sometimes if I don’t sleep unclad, I sleep with my jalamia*, with nothing under. I managed to sleep that night witha sad and heavy heart. To me, I just destroyed my good manners less than 24hrs?

It was a serious burden on my heart. Anita and I had exchanged numbers the previous night before the whole sh*t happened. At a point, I felt like sending her an apology for what happened,I thought of what to say but no words came to my head,Soon,I lost courage to text her, so I slept off – witha heavy heart!
.
7am in the morning my phone woke me up. Anita was calling. I became scared that she would abuse me or that she might have reported me to her brother,Godwin. I didn’t answer the call the first time. Then, she called again. This time, I felt like, well, the worst has happened; do whatever you want! I answered the call and she said,
.
Anita: Na wah for you oo. Na so you dey sleep ni? I’m inside the bathroom. Please come help me fix this shower. I don’t know why it’s malfunctioning today
.
Me: Ok.
.
For my mind I was like, na because of ordinary shower this one come wake me up? Mtcheeww. Lest I delayed, I hurried off my bed and headed for Godwin’s apartment with jalamia only. Suddenly, it dawn on me that she was inside the bathroom when she called. Jezz! I dey go meet a girl inside bathroom alone? Well, if it’s only to fix her shower, that should be no problem, I said to myself
