I was so in love with Grace too but, without an iota of doubt, I loved Ini more deeply than I do Grace. All the fear I ever had about Cynthia knowing about my affair with Ini evaporated. I don’t give a f**k if she finds out. The best she can do is scream, shout and cry. What I wanna do, I will do; no one is gonna stop my resolve
.
As I anticipated Deola’s visit, I thought about giving her a befitting hospitality. To make peace with Garfar, I sent him to Spar, a shopping mall close by, to buy me food (rice in particular and a boneless chicken). I collected the food from him, gave him #500 as tip which he was thankful for. We don settle abi?
.
I checked the bedspreads I hanged and one of them was ready for use. I spread it on my bed and rearranged the room again after that short intimacy between Ini and I. Everything was ready for Deola’s visit… I hope she is worth all these fuss sef
.
Around 5pm, Deola called me
.
Deola: Hello Mr. How has been your day?
.
Me: Very ok. Yours?
.
Deola: Twas fun, serious fun. I enjoyed myself at the party. I am on my home already. Sorry to your place. I hope you’re at home?
.
Me: Where will a sick guy go except to be resting on his bed?
.
Deola: That’s good. It shows you are really taking care of yourself. By the way, I got you some drugs to hasten your recovery. I’ll be there soon enough
.
Me: Ok. I will be here, waiting. I also got you something. I hope you will like it
.
Deola: What is that?
.
Me: I am not telling you. You will see it when you come
.
Deola: Hmmmm! Mr., remember when we had that conversation that there will be no holds barred between us? That we will tell ourselves everything? I think you’re breaching the agreement already
.
Me: Are you driving?
.
Deola: Of course I am. Why did you ask? You thought I am drunk and still driving?
.
Me: Not at all. I just pity you if you are caught calling while driving. Why not just get here first, ok?
.
Deola: 1:0. I have heard you. I will be there soon
.
Me: Better. I’ll be waiting for you at the bus stop so we can come together
.
Deola: Why not just tell me address instead? Why wait for me at the bus stop?
