Chapter Five


Uche




The house had been unusually quiet since Chidubem ran off, the twins kept to themselves and Mama chanelled her energy into her food stuffs business. There was little else for me to do other than to sleep and surf the net being an unemployed graduate. I felt lucky to have a loving and caring girlfriend. She was the only bright spot in my life and sometimes i found myself awake at night, staring into the darkness, wondering when someone would scream ' Cut!' and i would realize it was all an illusion. I wish i could lay the world at her feet because a woman who is not demanding but is supportive deserves the world. She was too good and almost too perfect to be true. She made me feel emotions i thought only happens in foreign movies. She makes me to want to go all the yard, marriage, baby and all and lord knows a fat ring would have already been on her finger if it wasn't for my financial status.



'' Baby, the food is ready" She walked out of the kitchen, She looked so delectable in a black,short gown with a low neck line. " Are you ready to eat?"


" There's something in your hair" i said, " Move closer so i can remove it for you. " She moved closer and i pulled her onto my laps.


She laughed and gave me a playful jab on my shoulder." I knew you had something naughty up your sleeves".


My phone beeped and i slipped it out of my pocket. Dupe stood up and went back into the kitchen. My heart pounded heavily as i saw the email notification from Dominique Petroleum International. l clicked on the message and the phone slipped out of my hand as Dupe walked in with a plate of rice.


" Are you trying to break the phone or what?" She said, placing the plate of food on the dining table.


I picked up the phone and read the email again to be certain it was truly addressed to me. " Dupe, come and take a look at this"


She collected the phone, read the email and jumped into my arms happily. " Oh my God! which Dominique Petroleum? the one and only? "


" Yes" i replied breathlessly. " Let's not get our hopes up tho, they only want to have an assessment chat with me."


" It's tomorrow!" She squealed,reading the message again." You have to look your best, it's a good thing the assessment is at their Lagos branch in Victoria Island. Do you have a good suit?"


I exhaled sharply, i didn't want to get my hopes up but she was making it too damn hard for me not to. I don't want her to be disappointed in me if it turns out as another disappointment. She had a big smile on her face and she was clutching the phone like it was a prized gift.


" I don't even own a suit"


" Stand up," she said


" Why?"


" Stand up, please"


I stood up and she assessed me from my head down to my toe." Your highness, may i take my sit now?"


" How tall are you?" she asked


" 5.9"


" Hmmn," she said, " I will be right back, "


Before i could stop her she was already out of the room. I picked up the food and started eating when she didn't return after fifteen minutes. I was tidying up the kitchen when i heard her voice.

" Uche!"


" Dupe, where did you....?" I paused when i saw what she held up." Where did you get that from?" I pointed at the suit she held, it was on a cloth hanger and covered with a white nylon.


She laughed." Let's just say i borrowed it. Try it on"


" No take it back. Who did you even borrow it from?"


" Come on, try it on" She insisted.


I collected it from her and walked into my room to wear it. The waist of the trouser was a bit big and it came short to my ankle. The shirt and suit jacket was a perfect size. I walked back into the living room feeling a little ridiculous. She burst into laughter when she saw me.


" It could be worse" She said, laughing." You look like a Micheal Jackson wannabe only without the jerry curls"


I couldn't help laughing too." Where did you get it?"


" My dad is officiating a wedding this Saturday. He wouldn't miss it until then "


We both laughed." Seriously you are a crazy girl, please take it back "


" Let me be the first to congratulate you on your new job, Dominique Petroleum has just gotten a genius "


" Dupe, " I cautioned." Let's not get our..."


" Congratulations my love" She said.

Nah, he'll most likely get the job. Let's hope he doesn't kick Dupe to the curb once he starts enjoying oyel money.

I wil definitely brk Uche's head if he brk Dupe's hrt

Uche is up to something. ....
I can feel it. ...
How long into the 6 months probation are we? What he promised his Mum..

Eniqurl:

My own wish is that uche doest break lola's heart,but if he does,lola should find better offer,kip it cuming

Am so disappointed in dupe

Y would she give her pride to uche just lyk dat

She will never be respected by uche mother

Now he is about to get a job at an oil firm


Am already crying for dupe

Lets just hope bibijay123 doesnt hard pregnancy to the matter
