THE WARM OF THE BASEMENT - CHAPTER THREE


Femi

The news of the missing student (Juliet) went viral on campus and everyone started searching for her in their possible ways, not that it was not as painful to me as well but I was of the belief that the deed was done and the probability of getting her back was just as slim as my next victim, after all I never loved her, she was the one that got carried away due to the cold of the basement and now that it is looking warm, I guess she will be kept cool wherever she was.

I didn’t flinch at every words being uttered, some even alleged me of knowing her where about which I denied because I truly have no idea of where she would have possibly been. I got tired of Tobi and decided to give her break but on a condition that she would link me up with any of her friends to fill her space while she will be on break.

“But Femi, is this how this girl will just disappear and we will all just keep quiet?” Anthony said after two weeks of the declaration.

“What will happen has happened, but I am pretty sure she was not kidnapped because we had a misunderstanding on the day before my test” I said not looking at him and his girlfriend.
“And so?” He asked

“And so what?” I responded trying not to sound pathetic. We have always been friends but he never knew anything about my adventures even though I gave him an idea of plans to use and dump Juliet which he promised to keep a secret, I was only known to be staying with him and we sharing everything together due to my own humble background, though he was aware I had many female folks around me.
“Really, Femi, you are just going to sit back and watch everyone make attempt on how to secure her back, even though no one knows her where about yet” He said as his girlfriend was set to leave.
“And what if she has been at her new boyfriend’s place!” I screamed at him.
“Oh really? This lady in question did not sound like she is in love with another person but you” He said as the tension continues to grow.

“Oh that was what she made you belief, well trust me, she was never in love with me, and I was never in love with her, we met only by accident, it was the cold of the basement that brought us together and since then she has been attaching herself to me, simple!” I screamed again at him, there was no one in the room, so no one could decipher what was going on, except for his girlfriend who dared not say anything or I will destroy their relationship right there. Feranmi was my bedmate long before she even met Anthony. Very sure not even Tobi was aware her roommate was my ex bedmate, we ended it all a long time ago and when she met Anthony, we decided to keep it secret but on a condition that she would satisfy me at any given opportunity. She has on three different occasions fulfilled her part of the contract but I am an insatiable beast and she has not stopped hating me for that.
Anthony was shocked at the revelation and he could not help but just kept mute and walked her girlfriend out. Few minutes after their departure I received a call telling me to come to SUB bus stop for a package that was sent to me through Juliet. Initially I felt reluctant, because that was supposed to be an impossibility. She was kidnapped already according to the reports, but not to be a doubting Thomas, I decided to play along.

Behold! I now have my own personal apartment fully paid for by Juliet. That girl must really be in love but I care less, in as much as I am getting everything I needed. I packed in to my apartment not informing Anthony to avoid any further arguments, I only told him I was tired of him and just suddenly packed my things and left. He tried to beg but I was not ready to stay, not when I have already seen my beautiful single room apartment at Aserifa, a perfect place for further adventures.
