Chapter 6 Andrew had his eyes on the pastor, following his every movement on the altar, but his mind was someplace else. Two things were bothering him. Once he managed to get rid of one, the other thought would occupy his mind. It would have made sense to entertain the positive out of the two, but it was so foreign to him that it scared him. He had even turned down a Sunday afternoon visit from Veronica, one of his favorite lays. It would have been a great distraction right now, but he was trying to face his fears head-on. Everyone in the congregation got up in response to something the pastor had said, and he saw himself rising with them. He closed his eyes and started praying. ……………….. Anita had had to change churches a lot in the last couple of years and she was getting tired of the act. It usually happened when people started asking too many questions about her private life and trying to reconcile her with her ex-husband. She always wondered why most of them didn’t understand the difference between separation and divorce. So far at her new church, things had been going okay, till a particular couple found out they lived close to her. They started trying to make her attend home fellowship services which were held every Wednesday at their house, and they also always wanted to follow her home after church. Today, she was hoping to get out of church as quickly as possible without having to greet anyone, so before ending ‘the grace,’ she was already on her feet heading out. Standing at the church entrance, along with the other people waiting for the second service was the friendly couple. Anita sighed and contemplated headed back into the church. She quickly replaced the frown on her face with a smile when she noticed they had seen her. They were about the same height and looked like teenage siblings in the matching Ankara outfit they had on. Anita exchanged greetings with them and was relieved when they said they had to rush in to get seats. As she walked to the main road, she thought of calling up her Uber guy and heading to the mall. She had been longing to see the new Beauty and the Beast movie, and she felt like right now would be the perfect time to do so. A bus pulled up right in front of her when she got to the bus stop, and she instinctively walked up to get in but stopped when she saw there was just one vacant seat and an old lady had been waiting at the bus stop before she got there. The lady said some prayers to her in Yoruba before getting on the bus, and Anita just smiled and nodded her head. A few people joined her at bus stop, and minutes went by with no bus in sight. She removed her hat and fanned herself, hoping not to stain the collar of the white shirt she had on with sweat. A fancy looking car drove by and she instinctively thought of Andrew. A smile appeared on her face thinking of their time together yesterday. Working in a bank, and dealing with strangers all day and having to be formal with most of her human interaction had made her too rigid, and she had enjoyed being carefree with Andrew the last couple of days. But she felt it would be awkward calling him up to hangout when they spent the most part of yesterday together. And he would probably be with one of his girlfriends anyway, she thought to herself. She pulled out her phone from her handbag, and scrolled through the recently called numbers. She was about to dial his number, but changed her mind and put the phone back in her handbag. Something cast a shadow in front of her, and when she looked up, the exotic looking car she had seen a few seconds ago was parked a few inches from where she stood. That’s strange, she thought to herself. She put her hat back on her head and took a few steps back. The car engine went off and the driver got out and leaned on the roof of the car. She looked at him and smiled. |

Chapter 5 It was about 3pm and the bar was scanty. They got a seat at a table next to where the band stand was. Four metal chairs with cushions were placed at each side of the metal table. They took seats opposite each other. The place was a relief from the hot weather outside and she complimented him for bringing her there. Andrew had forgotten his second phone in the car and excused himself to get it after placing his order. The waiter was just dropping their drinks when he walked back into the bar. He sat back, poured himself a glass of Guinness Stout, took two quick gulps and sighed. He took a look at her drink before saying, “Orange juice?” “Yep!” She said and took a sip from her glass. “I was thinking you would have wine or at least Smirnoff Ice.” She put down her phone and looked up at him. “The last time I tasted alcohol was with you and Tunde, and I can never forget what happened to me.” “What? When was that?” “That stupid concoction you guys used to take back in Jaja Hall.” “What?” He said, looking confused, and then like he realized what she was talking about, he said, “Oh! You’re talking about our special cocktail?” He said with a smile on his face. “Please don’t try and make it sound funky. It was some cheap rum and milk.” She said, and he laughed. “Oh my God! I can’t even believe you remembered that.” He said between laughs. “It was Dark Sailor and milk.” “Yea, I remember. I don’t know what made me drink it that day.” She bowed her head and laughed a little before adding. “Please don’t bring up what I did that day.” “You…” He was saying and stopped to chuckle. “Don’t.” She said, with a frown on her face. Just then, his phone started vibrating on the table, and his countenance changed immediately before picking up the call. He spoke for a few seconds and said ‘one hundred dollars’ a few times before ending the call. He dropped his cell phone back on the table and then looked up at her with a smile on his face. “What are you selling for one hundred dollars?” She enquired. “What? Oh, yea.” He said and paused to take a sip from his cup. “I told you about the other thing I do.” “Yea, I almost forgot about that.” She said and smiled at him. “So what is that other thing you do?” “I rent out classic cars.” “Hmm! You mind explaining further?” “The car we came in is a 1983 Mercedes Benz SEL. It is popularly called Shagari Benz.” He said and stopped to crack his knuckles before adding, “It was used in the movie, Coming to America by Hakeem’s parents.” “Oh! I think I can remember that movie.” “Yea, I am sure you can. Anyway, people would pay good money to rent cars like that for a music video, or a wedding, or just for a night out.” “Okay.” “So, I buy up some of rarest vintage cars, and rent them out to people that value them.” “That’s lovely.” “The one I got a call for is the latest in my collection; a 1982 Porsche 911.” He said before gulping down the drink in his cup. She studied him for a while and then said, “You know I can actually get you a really low interest loan from my bank if you ever need money to expand.” “Hmm! I think I might need that soon. I am trying to get that James Bond Aston Martin…” He was saying when his phone started ringing again. He picked up, spoke for a while, and then hung up. “So, as we were saying… I think I would need a loan soon, maybe like…” He was saying and stopped to pour himself a drink. “Anita, I think we should stop the formal talk and just reminisce.” She smiled for a while before yelling out in a low tone, “Anita! Anita!” Andrew looked at her with an inquisitive look on his face. “You don’t remember?” “No. What…” “The shocking fridge at your house.” “What?” “The party you had at your house in our first year at the University.” “Oh!” “Yea, I didn’t know about the shocking fridge, and I went to get drinks for guests.” “Yea, I remember now.” Andrew said as he sat up in his seat. “And you guys came running, shouting my name, trying to save me from getting electrocuted.” “God! Your memory is something else.” “I had the best times with you guys.” “I am still wondering how you didn’t get shocked by that fridge.” “You guys said it was because I was dark skinned and you guys were light skinned.” He laughed a little before saying, ‘How old were we?” “18. Well, we were 18, but Tunde was 19.” She said and then there was silence. They both stared at each other, but their minds were miles away. And then Andrew signaled to the bar man to bring him another bottle. |
Pretty Yoruba girl. Congrats to her. |
BBBlaze:LMAO! |
izzou:HAHAHA! I swear. I can't even imagine. |
solasoulmusic:lol! Abi. |
solasoulmusic:lol! Crazy ish. |
solasoulmusic:Some cartoon moves. lol! I hope u at least enjoyed the ride before u hit your head |
solasoulmusic:lol! |
solasoulmusic:lol! Sorry to hear that. By the way, your reply kinda helped me understand why my friend emanuella didnt get shocked that day. |
solasoulmusic:Interesting. This just reminded me of something. Me and my friend threw a party when we were young teens and there was a fridge in my house that shocks, so it was just us two that got drinks for people. But we had gone out to buy something and when we came back we couldnt find our friend, Emanuella. We asked my younger brother and he said she had gone to get drinks from that fridge. Ahh! We started running to the place to save her. When we got into the room, she had actually gotten the drinks and was closing the fridge. We didnt understand how it didnt shock her. Maybe she was a baby witch we thought. lol! |
Missmossy:Thank you. I will post more chapters later today. |
lazeal:I give up. Believe what you want to believe...but time will expose the truth. |
adorablepepple:Oya. Me I want to fight you. Only one round. |
oshe11:LMAO! |
Marchborn123:Thank you. |
loomer:What everyone should be asking is...where did she get the picture of Apostle Suleman from to start with? Even if you want to photoshop something, or someone, you need an original picture. Religion and the fear of men of God have blinded many people and affected their logical reasoning. |
lazeal:Nope. There is a huge difference. This is the actual phone which she used for the facetime, which she then took screen pics of. She also showed the pictures and the dates they were taken, which is back in 2016, when there was scandal out in the open like now. Phone dates can't be manipulated like that. If you go to the pictures on your phone, and check the details of the pictures, you will see the exact date and time they were taken, which is evidence they were taken with that device. But I know people will still doubt all these evidence. Religion and tribalism blind us a lot in this part of the world. No wonder we ain't progressing but regressing. |
redx:She said she did that after the guy gave her something to drink and she started bleeding. She became suspicious of the man afterwards. |
loomer:I am sure wife knows the husband sleeps around but is left with no choice than to cover up for him. |
donofdons:You summed it up perfectly. |
