Diary of an addict Episode 31

Samson my friend loved pounded yam so much. So, I took another route to his shop that will make it impossible for Kemi to see me, though she may hear my voice which will be easier to explain than if it is other way round. I walked into Samson’s shop, handed him 1k and dared him to spend everything on pounded yam. He jumped at the challenge and was ready to leave
.

We agreed he’s going to go eat it in the restaurant with one witness following him. He agreed to the terms and one person volunteered to follow him. So, that was how I was able to make Samson leave his shop so that I can go see Kemi for the time being
.
I calculated the amount of minutes that will take him to get to the restaurant, order for food, eat, relax a little and come back to him shop. I figured it will take him 25-30mins or thereabout. Good enough for me I concluded. Samson left his shop and I went to see Kemi
.
I quickly told her that I have few minutes with her cause someone is waiting for me at the shop. She said no problem. She claimed she just felt like talking to me face-to-face alone
.
I summoned courage to ask if she could come to my house if she felt like talking, that we will have all the time in the world to talk about anything. She agreed speedily, stating that she had been eager to know my place since I have decided not to come to her shop all those periods of my unavailability. I checked my wristwatch, Samson had spent 23mins out of the allotted 25-30mins
.
I took my phone and dialed Samson’s number to inform him of my leaving for my own shop. He replied by saying that he is yet to even order for food. Chai! Na im I kon dey rush? A part of me wished to stay on with Kemi but what if Samson angrily decided to start coming back? I stood up and bid Kemi goodbye. I also asked when she would like to come and what she would like to eat
.
Kemi: Friday, 3pm. Just anything will do for me
.
Me: Call me when you’re coming ok?
.
Kemi: Ok I will
.
I waved her goodbye and pretended to be on my way to shop. Once I am out of sight, I took a bike via another route home. That was how I navigated through that difficult dilemma
