“Anthony hi” I said blushing as they all watched my expression. Suddenly there was a drop in my smile, the mood dropped from that of happiness to panicking.
“What?!” I screamed rising to my feet.
“Health centre?...okay, I am on my way, will tell her..okay.” I said as I dropped my phone. Everyone was eager to know what has gone wrong. But I could not tell them because I instantly lost control of myself. Like a mad dog I ran to the health centre to see the Femi that is said to have been injured in a brutal accident that just occurred at road one.
The first person I saw at the emergency section was Anthony like a baby seeing his father in a long while, I screamed his name, I ran to him and he asked me to calm down.
“Hey, chill, he is fine, it was a roommate that saw him that called me as well, so I thought of calling you immediately. He is being attended to already.” I was trying to calm down when a nurse rushed out of the small room and requested for the friends of Femi. Anthony wanted to talk but I found myself taking the lead.
“I am his girlfriend, please talk to me.” I said with a shaky tone.
“You will have to calm down, he is being referred to teaching hospital so we need some friends to follow the ambulance alongside…”
“Yes ma, oya ma, where is he?” I cut her short and in no time, Femi was already being rushed out of the small room in the company of two officials of the hospital. Anthony and I found ourselves in the ambulance with him as he laid unconscious. Finally, I get to see the creature messing with my emotions. His handsomeness was unique, compared to those that I have ever come across, I kept staring at him despite the turbulence the ambulance speed was making us all go through, but I guess the nurses were already used to it as they remained firmed.
We were not allowed into the emergency section of teaching hospital, so I and Anthony had no other option but to stay outside pending the time we will be called in.
“Since when have you guys been dating” Anthony finally broke the silence. The question got me unaware and I was speechless for a while. Finally I found the strength to talk.
“Why did you ask” I asked in return.
“It is just baffling how Femi could have a pretty girlfriend like you and be claiming single all the while” He said. Within me, I felt like laughing but I tried to hold my peace because the truth was that we were not dating. We were not even close enough to be girlfriends and boyfriends. But to play along I just had to say something.
“Well, I was the one that told him I did not want to be recognized with him yet.”
“Why?”
“Reasons best known to me”
“Hmmmm, so it was because of you he borrowed the suit to go to date with. How was the date” date? Was he on a date that night? The discussion was becoming more tensed and I had to find a way of cutting it short before I get into more trouble.
“Can we talk about this later please” I said and just then, we were called that he was already conscious and hungry as he was yet to eat that day. We ran inside to see him and like bright morning sun, his beauty radiated. I could not hide my smile and happiness. Anthony thinking we have known each other for so long, decided to excuse us for a while. I was glued and speechless, just when I wanted to say something to break the silence, the nurse came and demanded we get him something to eat on time as he was to take some dose of his medications immediately.
“Okay ma” I obeyed her and left to meet Anthony who agreed to escort me to phase two to get him something to eat. Anthony lamented of being cashless and I told him not to worry, lucky for me I was with my ATM and the one Daddy gave me in time of emergency in case I could not reach him if I was broke. I have never withdrawn with the card though but felt it was time for it to be used so that daddy will not complain this month that I am not spending enough.
