THE COLD OF THE BASEMENT - CHAPTER TWELVE
FEMI
By: ABSOL
I never expected Tobi will be friends with Juliet, but I took it off my mind. Thinking they will not discuss to that length. I was just praying in my mind all the evils Anthony and the likes have made me do will not come back to hunt me. I asked Tobi out, though she rejected my heart but she gladly welcomed my manhood at the first attempt, when the deed was done, she regretted and left but I was glad I was her first. I just pray she doesn’t inform Juliet of our dealings.
Juliet refused to tell me of our destination but we dropped at Lagere. It was when we were about entering one of the phone outlets at Lagere that it came to my mind that she might want to get me a new phone. I was damn happy but refused to show my excitement. On the other, I felt unworthy of all the display of love Juliet was doing.
“So pick any phone of your interest and let us get back to school so you can prepare for your test as well as rest.” Did she just say any phone of my choice? I was tempted but I did not allow the moment to get me carried me away. I settled for Infinix hot six and without negotiation and hesitation, she paid for it and we were given receipt instantly. I was still lost on what to say when she requested we get something to eat. Speechlessness came all over me as we enter Mr. Biggs, I could not even open my mouth to request or order anything again, she did all the ordering and as we ate, where the tears came from, I had no idea of what came over me but I just kept on looking at her as she innocently consumed that which she ordered and tears rolled down my cheeks. I felt so unworthy and had no idea of how to control the moment.
We were done and just opposite Mr. Biggs we got two SIM cards. According to her, one would be for browsing and the other for calling. I did my registration with all my attention on her, she did not seem to notice because she was carried away assessing my new phone. When we were done, I was thinking we would just go back to campus straight from there until she persuaded me to cross the road to Mr. Biggs again and lo and behold, she ordered our dinner already which they were packing while we were registering the SIM cards.
“I guess you should be tired by now, do we start going back to campus?” Like I have any objection to whatever she suggested. I agreed and we boarded the next bus that came to us. She clung onto me and fell asleep at a point, I wrapped my arms around her, guessing she must be really tired.
Wait patiently for it....
