JULIET
I never thought Segun will be that fast to respond, but he did and I was happy, I gave him the direction to the location where we were and in no time his car appeared from afar with the headlight shinning like the glory of the lord in the latter day I guessed he must have cleaned the car all over before coming just to impress me the more, if only he was aware of the task he was about to do.
“Hey go-o-d e-v-e…” I guess it must have been a shock for him meeting two guys in my company.
“Good evening Segun, thank you for coming” I quickly responded ignoring his dramatic look. He an Anthony exchanged warm pleasantries but the one with Femi was kind of cold but I pretended as if I did not notice it, because that must have been because of the way I was standing so close to Femi, but I was sincerely not expecting him to be jealous.
“Can we go now?” I said to lift up the heavy silence that has suddenly descended upon us all. I knew I was in the midst of my enemies but I gave no damn since my ultimate goal was to see Femi back to his hostel safely.
Anthony decided to seat at the front while I clung to Femi at the back seat. It was dark in the car just like the other time at the basement, just that this time it was not as cold. Segun started jamming music in his neat car which I was very sure must have been that clean because he was expecting ladies in the car. Anthony was looking back at interval, an action I had no idea of why. We were on motion and lucky for I and my horny self Segun and Anthony got talking and got distracted from looking back at interval. Don’t blame me please, the connection I felt with Femi was just too mysterious I had no idea of most things I was doing. I dragged myself closer to him and whisper my desire to his ears, his instant response got me scared, perhaps he had no idea of how much effect his presence was having on me. Ignoring him and his surprise, I locked lips with him not minding the reaction of Anthony and Segun, after all they were even lost in the deep forest of football argument, a topic I have never had interest in. Femi wanted to resist but I pressed further and he eventually gave in. The response was just as the first time which made me to wish the car could come to a halt and I will have enough time to devour him the more.
In no time, we were in front of Fajuyi hall, all thanks to Femi. I was initially reluctant at leaving him at the mercy of Anthony, because Anthony has just displayed his selfishness and unfaithfulness as a friend, so I was afraid he might hurt him, but with one mind I let go of him pleading with him to take his medications. In my mind, I already completed my strategy of how I was going to get him an apartment off campus in one of daddy’s properties at Aserifa, but first mission was to get him a new phone, a task I slated for the next day. I had a lot of things coming to my mind but I wanted to take it real slow.
Once again I was left alone in the company of Segun in his car as he offered to drop me off at the Moremi basement before he will proceed to his place at the staff quarters. I was careful with my choice of words and I tried as much as possible to avoid entering any long lasting discussion with him, just wanted to be dropped off and go straight to my hostel. But my wish was not granted by nature.
“Since tomorrow is Sunday, what are your plans” He asked as we waited for the traffic light to turn green.
“I don’t know yet, but I am definitely not going out with you so don’t ask” It was that statement that reminded me of my agreement with Tobi to follow her to her church on Sunday, what that simply meant was that I had to start thinking of what to wear.
“But I thought I was forgiven already” He asked as the traffic light eventually allowed us to go.
“You are forgiven does not mean…”
“Does not mean what? Juliet don’t do this to me nah” He cut me short and kept on pleading while my focus was just on getting to the Moremi basement and zooming off to my room as quickly as my legs could take me.
“Can we not just have this conversation?” I said out of annoyance as he refused to drive fast, rather moving at the speed of a snail.
“Okay, even if just for an hour, perhaps after your church service, I will pick you up and we will both go out after which I will bring you back to your hostel, what about that?” He ended his speech with a question I had no answer to.
“Okay, you know what? I will be thinking about it.” In my mind I was just laughing. I already planned how my day will go the following day. I already planned that after church service, I was going to get a phone for Femi to at least bring him back online and further solidify our bridge of communication.
“Okay then, I will be expecting your call.” He said as he finally parked to allow me highlight from his car which is not as fine as mine but at least manageable. The car which I have refused to bring to school to avoid people seeing me in different light.
“Alright, thank you so much for today, do enjoy your night rest.” I said warmly.
“Are you going like that? Not even a peck?” Where the tone of the hiss came from I had no idea, but I found myself hissed at him real loud before banging the door of his car.
To be continued...
