Lol...for your mind o

E nor go pass Dayo, Nenye or those her friends

Contd

I stood up to get the door barely thinking straight. It was like my brain got foggy and I was watching myself walk to get the door.

"Who's it?", I asked a bit irritated. Can't blame me, after all it's of this person I didn't get to kiss Mia.

"Its me, Richard. Your new neighbour?", Richard answered and I sighed. I took a deep breathe and plastered a fake smile on my face before opening the door.

"Hey..um...good evening Sir", I greeted and he frowned.

"I've told you, you can just call me Richard. Well, I've got something here", he said as he got out a Ciroç vodka from the small takeaway bag he was holding.

"Thought we could get to know each other more over drinks", he said as he walked into my apartment, not even waiting for my permission.

"Um...uh....I don't know about that. I'm kinda in the middle of something now", I said after him.

"Oh, too bad. Lovely place you've got here", he said as he looked around.

"Thanks."

At that moment, Mia came out of the kitchen with a nylon bag which I guess contained her remaining ice cream.

"Oh, you've got company. I'm sorry didn't mean to interrupt", Richard said when he saw Mia. He looked at me with a knowing smile. "I'll take my leave now."

"Oh, don't bother. I was just leaving", said Mia as she picked her handbag.

"You're leaving?", I asked surprised and not in a good way.

"Yeah. I'll see you later", she replied, avoiding my eyes.

"Okay, well call me?", I said to which she just gave a nod and made for the door.

Richard whistled as I crashed on one of the couches. I know I shouldn't blame him but I couldn't just help but be mad at his very wrong timing. Like who told him I even wanted a friend in this building.

"Trouble in paradise I presume?", he more like stated than asked as he took a seat.

'Of course make yourself comfortable', I thought sarcastically.

"So woman troubles eh?", he asked and smiled when I didn't say anything. Can't he take a hint? I'm in no mood for any talks now.

"You know I'm quite sure the beauty that left here now wasn't the one I saw yesterday.

"Um..Sir...I mean Richard, I don't want to sound rude but I feel like being alone now. Got a lot going on now", I said in the most polite way I could.

"Exactly why you need someone to talk to and lucky for you, I'm here. Now go get some cups boy, let's drink and trash this problem", he replied unfazed at all by what I said.
I looked at him a bit surprised and then decided to just go for it. Who knows, this might just be exactly what I need.

"Okay", I shrugged and stood up to go get the cups.

"Here you go." I handed him a cup and sat down on the floor, waiting for him to fill my cup.

"So...", he drawled as he gave more attention to pouring the vodka in my cup. "What's the problem? You've got two beautiful ladies around you, something most guys your age would be very much happy about so why are you like this?"

"Its complicated. Like literally complicated", I replied.

"Okay, good thing we've got Ciroç then. Uncomplicate it for me", he smiled and took a sip. I bet he was enjoying himself.

"Okay", I gave in. "How do I explain this in the easiest way possible? Uhmm...the girl you saw yesterday was Nonye, my first love...or crush, I don't know. I'm a bit confused now on how things are with us. I don't know if I still love her like that or in that same manner anymore".

"Oh so you want to break up with her because you're not sure anymore, now the beauty queen I saw today is involved?", Mr. Richard asked, curiosity clearly spelt on his face.

"Yes....I mean no..No!" I stuttered and took a sip to calm myself. "No I don't want to break up cause technically, we never dated", I said and Mr Richard's brow's shut up in confusion.

"Okay see, I never told her about my feelings because she didn't see me that way, infact she actually asked my best friend out."

"Damn bro, that's some unrequited sh*t right there. Sorry man", he sympathised.

"Yeah", I smiled.

"Wait, did this best friend know you had feelings for Nonye?", he asked and I nodded in affirmation. "And he still agreed...what kind of friend is that?"

"Its not really his fault though. I guess I thought never stood a chance at all."

"Thought?..what do you mean?"

"Well, you see last night when you saw Nonye, she was crying, Dayo had just broken up with her and she might have kissed me later in the night", I said, feeling a bit nervous.

"I knew it"! Mr Richard stood and punched the air like someone who had just scored last minute equaliser. "I knew something was going to do down."

"Yeah, well it was just a kiss and nothing else", I said, pouring myself another drink.

"Mmhmm", he sat down again. "Go on".

"That's that about Nonye. Now the one you saw today is Mia. Met her or more like we got talking a few weeks ago and I think I like her. Like really really like her but I don't know if she feels the same way. Can't deal with another case of unrequited love man."

"Yeah, I get you son but let me tell you something. You already lost your chance with Nonye when you never let her know how you feel about her. An undefined relationship is always doomed to fail. Yes, you're still friends with her because that aspect of your relationship was defined and you might be making the same mistake with Mia.  A girl as pretty as that? Boy better make your feelings known to her now before the other one million guys waiting around would do it for you. Who knows, now that 'best friend' of yours isn't with Nonye again, he might just be interested in her too", he finished off and I turned him sharply baffled at how spot-on that assumption was. He looked at me too and I quickly averted my gaze before he figured it out.

"Wait", he said, dropping his drink. "He's already interested isn't he?"

"Yeah", I admitted and then went on to explain everything surrounding my relationship with Mia, including Dayo's interest, subtle ultimatum and Nonye's age long enmity with Mia.

"Hmmmm", Mr Richard sighed. "That's too much for one person son and you ain't even an actor."

"I know right". I took a sip and then another one.

"This Dayo kid, that's the boy that comes to see you right?"

"Yeah", I answered.

"Dayo Michaels? His dad is a politician, a senator I think and his mum's name is Kiki right?"

"Yes..uhmm now you're weirding me out. How did you know all that?" I asked alarmed that he knew that much about Dayo and his family.

"Oh it's nothing. I used to know his mum back in our school days that's all. He kind of resembles her", he smiled and I nodded slowly. Bullsh*t, everyone who's seen Dayo and his dad can tell the resemblance is uncanny.

"Wow...would you look at that", Mr Richard gave a short laugh as he pointed to the bottle. "A whole bottle of vodka down already. How time flies when you're having fun. Let's call it a night ,okay?" He said as he stood up and swayed a little but still maintained his balance.

"Yeah. Goodnight Mr Richard", I said as I walked him to the door. That was weird....TBC

Okay guys, so no suspense this time around. Happy weekend y'all.

Thats what have been thinking though

Grateful for this small piece....

Good maybe Mr Richard will help with some elderly advise.
Weldon @Moura7,keep it flowing

Or is it possible Dayo sent Richard?

Oga Moura, come here o

I have a strong feeling Mr. Richard is an undercover agent trying to get information on Dayo and his family....he's older and seemed to know much about Dayo's family.
Good one Moura����

Nice inputs guys, thanks alot.

Great story you've got going on here Moura7

I think thid Richard might be his long lost father or someone from his past that wants to protect him.


This is getting dicey for KK now... �

Boss abeg sorry for us drop update make we take chill this period

Moura7:
Merry Christmas guys

Same to you bro

Is it that Mr Richard is a reporter or someone affiliated with kk or one who has Dayo's family at heart(maybe due to a perceived wrong ).
For someone to know intricate details about a family shows an obsession. And here Moura sat saying there was no suspense. This Mr Richard timing poor Sha. When Kk would have felt the chemistry btw Mia and himself, the doorbell spoils a perfect moment. Thanks Moura7 and Merry Christmas to you and your family.
