Dinner was ready before 6:30. Kenneth had stepped out of the house to only God knows where. Kamsi and I dressed up with a little make up and sat down in the sitting room,chatting away with our phones. A honk outside got us rushing out of the house as an ash coloured highlander drove into the compound. Ever seen these Nollywood movies where the servants would be standing in a queue,waiting for the prince or princess to arrive or get down from the car? Lol. That was the scene being played now. Only difference was that we weren't servants and we looked too good to be one.

We watched as Rose got down from the car and we gushed shamelessly at her beauty. She was dressed in a short pink floral gown,wearing a gold plated heel which was about five inches. Her handbag marched her heels and she looked like a celebrity going for a photoshoot.

Rose and Kenneth had met on badoo the year Rose had written waec. Ken was in law school then. So many calls,chats,video and audio calls kept them going for a while but just like many other online dating,distance didn't help them grow so they broke up in a couple of months. Now,they were back together and I prayed silently that they work out now.

We took turns to hug Rose and she was all smiles.

Kamsi: Welcome to our house girlfriend.

Rose: Thank you. Your house is so beautiful.

Kamsi and I thanked her before we moved into the house.

We three sat down and started discussing about school and matters that concerns girls before mum came downstairs.
Perfect wife material.....She stood up immediately and waited for mum to get to her.

Rose: Good evening mum.

OMG! Mum already?

Mrs k: Good evening my dear. Sit down

Rose sat down and mum took a seat beside her. They began to talk,with mother trying to know everything about Roses' background in one night. We excused ourselves and went to make the table,silently gossiping about mum's likeness for good girls.

Rose was from a family of four;her mother,her father,her elder brother and herself. They lived in old GRA. Her father is a retired soldier while her mum is a lecturer at IMT(institute of management and technology, Enugu). Her elder brother owns a construction company in portharcourt and he's still single.

Just before we came to call them to the table,Kenneth and Gospel came in. We all went to the dinning and Kamsi served us with the favourite meal of the house;breadfruit which was well garnished with smoked fishes and meats. We ate quietly(who dares to talk in the dinning while mum was around?). Gospel kept on stealing glances at me and I also fought with myself not to pour my food on him. While everyone had dessert, I excused myself and went to the sitting room with my own plate.

I know he is surprised that I'm over what he had said to me. I'm also surprised myself. But those words he spoke,everyone of them is locked somewhere deep down my heart. Like mummy had said,I had sealed the part of my mind where he existed. I would focus more on my education and once I get to the level I want to be,I'll open up myself and unleash the same quantity of sorrow to him.

30 minutes later,we were all sitting together in the sitting room,chartering amongst ourselves.

Mrs k: Rose darling

Rose: Yes mum

Mrs k: I beg to take my leave now. I'll be having a hectic day tomorrow.

Rose: No problem mum. It was nice meeting you and dinner was awesome.

They exchanged hugs and we watched mum go upstairs.

Ken: So,I also beg to leave with my girlfriend now.

I giggled audibly but Kamsi won't take any of it.

Kamsi: See this man. As if she's not our friend,we'll just take her from you now now.

Rose: Of course. Ken,these girls have more rights to me you know?

Me: Exactly. So do the right thing Ken.

He shrugged his shoulders and opened his palm like he doesn't have a choice.

Ken: Okay. Please girls,can I have some time with my girlfriend?

Kamsi: That's more like it.

Ken helped Rose up and they walked upstairs. I got busy with my phone and didn't notice when Kamsi left and which direction she went but I looked up to show her a picture but I only met Gospel,sitting just where he had being.
I stood up and made for the stairs;

Gospel: Can we talk for some minutes please?

I turned around and he was standing up.

Me: Did you talk to me now?
Surprisingly,my voice was calm

He came close to me and held my hands. It reminded me of the days we spent,visiting all the malls in Enugu,all the eateries,showing off our love to the world. I shook those thoughts out of my mind as tears were already forming at the back of my throat.

Gospel: Baby you know I love you and I'll always love you. Its just that circumstances beyond my control seems to be against us. I....

Me: Uhm.... Its alright. Just forget it.

Gospel: Not until you forgive me. I know I chose the wrong words. I didn't just know how to explain things to you so you'll understand me.

Me: Understand that you have needs as a man and you refused to share with me? You said you love me,what happened? Aren't you the right person to help me get out of whatever fear it is I dwell in? Did you ever try to? No you did not. Instead,you started avoiding me and bringing in girls who I'm way better than.... Gospel its not fair.

Gospel: Baby you know I'm not good with words. You know I.....

Me: I know that. And I also know your likes of ladies,your best sex positions. I also know you screw girls without protection. Gospel I hate you. Get this thing clear,for every tear I shed for you,you'll get back in tenfold.

He held me close this time,tears falling from his eyes and I looked away,fighting with my own tears. I am strong,of course I am.

Gospel: Baby please I'm sorry. Forgive me.

Me: Let me go now. Just let me go.

Gospel: You know I can't let you go. You know that. I love you so much and will do anything to make you happy.

Me: Fine. Make me happy by leaving me alone. Leave my life alone. Just let me be.

His hands left me immediately and I turned back and ran up the stairs counting the third person I loved so much who had left me all alone......Daddy,Emeka and Gospel....

They were all gone....gone for good.

Re: Alone.. by PamelB(f): 10:24am On Aug 09, 2016
I walked into the lecture hall with my peplon gown,clutching my handbag and wondering what the lecturer would say to me. I had come to school with Kamsi that day,we got a seat and sat down but my period pain wasn't helping me so I had gone to a chemist to get some drugs. The midwife I met there helped me with warm water instead and asked me to relax a bit. Now,the menstrual pain has stopped but I'm 20 minutes late to class.

Mr Ofor was a no nonsense man. He took the smallest of things serious. I was very good at his course but I just don't want to get into his bad books.

Me: Good morning sir.

I greeted with the most tender voice I could give. All eyes were now on me and I wished I had just stayed back at the clinic.

He looked at his wristwatch and gave me a scornful look

Mr Ofor: Lady,you're 22 minutes late for this class.

Me: I'm sorry sir. I was at the clinic. I'm sick.

Mr Ofor: Sick? Which clinic are you coming from?

Me: Toks pharmacy.

Mr Ofor: Because I'll go and confirm. Give me your ID card right away.

There was a loud murmuring from the class. I looked at them and some were shaking their heads,asking me not to give it to him.

Me: I'm sorry sir,I don't have it here. But if you wish to confirm,I will go with you.

He frowned his face immediately. That was what lecturers were known for. They found any reason to take your ID card,then they'll ask you to come and take it later. Once you're in there office,they'll give you conditions;either to bleep them,get your ID card and pass their course or you take your ID card and keep on carrying over their course.

Mr Ofor: Alright. Go and sit down.

I silently said "thank you Jesus" and walked over to where Kamsi was seated.


After lectures,Rose,Kamsi and I decided to pick a cab to thrillers and have lunch. It had being two months since after Roses' visit to the house and since then,Gospel and I haven't set eyes on each other and I loved it that way.

We got to thrillers and ordered same meal;fried rice and chicken with yoghurts. We ate amidst taking pictures and laughing at our smiley faces.

Kamsi: So I think its time I say this.

We asked her what it was about and she said we should guess.

Me: Ted has proposed?

Kamsi: Nope.

Me: You're pregnant?

Rose: Wtf! Say no please.

We all laughed.

Kamsi: I'm not pregnant

Rose: Then what?

Me: What is it?

She cleared her throat and looked at our curious faces

Kamsi; Someone has being on my neck for a while now.

Me: Better tell him that Ted is in the picture o.

Kamsi: Shuu! Wait let me finish first.

Rose: You don't know your sister fa?

Kamsi: He's being disturbing me for you,Amanda and in fact,I just texted him our location and he'll be here soon.

I frowned immediately. Rose and Kamsi stared at me as they didn't understand my countenance.

Me: Why nau? You would have told me first.

Kamsi: Amy I know you very well. You would've gone home straight if I've told you.

Me: And you think I can't go home now?

Rose: I'll just bundle you back to this place and get you tied to a spot.

Me: Its not funny Rose.

Rose: I'm sorry.

Kamsi: Come on Amanda,you're beautiful and people have the right to admire you.

Rose: I don't know why you're acting so reserved. Open up and socialise girl. Let them admire you,let them approach you.

Me: Hey! Now I smell a conspiracy. You both are in this right?

Rose raised her hands.

Rose: I'm not. But I want you to socialise that's all.

Kamsi: Exactly.

Me: Okay. I've heard you two. Who's he?

Kamsi giggled and we looked at her expectantly.

Rose: Talk nau.

Kamsi: Most handsome guy,our chapter.

Rose: Wow! Hillary?

I sat down there,looking at the entrance. He chose to enter the very minute his name was mentioned. I've seen his pictures everywhere in school,he's even my friend on Facebook but I've never had a chat with him. Seeing him facially now,I couldn't help but wonder why he took pictures because he looked more handsome than in the pictures.

If I had said breathtakingly handsome for Ken,Hillary is then the beauty god. I fell for his colour immediately which were a bit darker than my chocolate complexion. I watched him approach our table with a smile and I looked away,silently wishing that I can disappear because he looks too handsome to be seen with him.


Ever heard of beauty being intimidated by handsome?

Thank you.....thank you,for your encouragements and comments.




His steps were gracious,very gracious. He walked to our table with a permanent smile. His tooth were gaped and he knew how to flaunt them with his smiles.

Hillary: Hi ladies.

We took turns to say our greetings and I wondered where my shyness had gone to.
He took a seat beside me and I could feel his eyes all over me.

Hillary: So,hope you girls are enjoying your meal,yes?

I giggled as usual.Who ends statements with rhetorical questions?
Kamsi and Rose replied in the affirmative so he turned to me.

Me: Of course. Though,you're a little late.

Hillary: Had lunch in school.

Me: Okay.

Hillary: So I'm Hillary Thompson,final year student of microbiology.

Me: Wow! Rose,radiography,100 level.

Hillary: Nice. Very nice.

Me: Thanks.

Hillary: Very much welcomed. Can I ask for a favour?

Me: Of course.

Hillary: Would really love to know more about you,yourself and yours.

I chuckled,finding his words sexy and funny at same time

Hillary: Is that a yes?

Me: To what?

Hillary: Dinner tomorrow. To tell me more about yourself.

I gave Kamsi a glance and she was smiling and nodding. Rose was doing the same thing.

Me: Okay then.

He passed me his phone and I put in my number. He called me immediately and I saved it.

Hillary: You'll text me your house address and I'll come and pick you then.yes?

Me: Its okay

Hillary: 6:30 yes?

I laughed,throwing my head backwards..

Me: Yes please.

He smiled before turning to Kamsi and Rose.

Hillary: I beg to be excused now girls. Thanks for giving me a "me" time with your friend. I appreciate.

Kamsi: Its okay Mr handsome.

Rose: No. No. What if I don't agree with that?

We all turned to her to know what's wrong with her.

Rose: So you came here,not even an introduction or something, you just went straight to business and forgot there are other girls these side of the table. Not fair if you ask me. Besides,its not because you're familiar with Kammy means its same with me.

By the time she was done,we were all smiling;

Hillary: Sorry damsel. I was taken away by the thoughts of this girl that I forgot she was with her friends. Forgive my manners please.

Rose: You're making it up to me.

Hillary: Fine. How?

Rose: A selfie.

We all laughed. We all tool selfies with him before he left,not before registering a peck on my forehead.

Kamsi: Aha. I can see you like him already. Look how you're smiling

Me: He's a nice guy.yes?

We all laughed as I mimicked his misuse of the word "yes" in his own sexy way.

Rose: And he's too cute to be real. Amy,you've got to play your cards well.

Me: Of course. The way you're playing your cards well with Ken and Kammy is playing hers with Ted.

They rolled their eyes at me and I smiled.
We finished our lunch and went home,with each of them trying her best to give me a thousand and one reasons why I should be with Mr handsome(as if he's even asked me out)




_______________________________________

The ride to Golden Royale hotel was a silent one. We just kept on stealing glances at each other as he drove into bisara road.

Kamsi was quick to tell mum about Hillary. She had called me to her room and asked me so many questions like if I was ready to move on,if I had gotten over Gospel,if the new guy was good for me. I did tell her that I liked him but he was yet to ask me out. She had showed her concern,saying she didn't want any of her children to get hurt again,me especially. We had hugged each passionately and I had slept in her room that night. I woke up the next morning to her voice,asking Kamsi to come wake me up and help me pick out an outfit for my dinner. That was how I ended up wearing a black handless gown which showed off lots of my cleavages. I had worn a blue wedge which had made me stand tall and clutched a blue purse. You should have seen my face. It went from Chimamanda Okoye to Celebrity Rihanna. I looked absolutely cute and I was afraid Hillary won't be able to recognise me anymore.
When Hillary had driven into the house,I thought it was to cancel the dinner but was I wrong? He came in to greet mummy and Kamsi before we stepped out hand in hand after mum had had a little chat with him and asking him to take care of me and bring me back in one piece.

The universe always favours the just because as soon as we stepped out of the house,the first person we ran into was Gospel. He didn't respond to our greetings because he was staring at the way Hillary had held my hand in his.

Now, we were sitting in a honeymoon suite at Golden Royale. I don't know why I felt comfortable enough to follow him to a room. The room was well decorated. A table was set already and I quickly did a calculation that he had booked a reservation. Two waiters and a waitress were also in the room which made me more relaxed. They used our phones to take pictures after which they shifted from earshot.

Hillary: I guess you're used to these luxuries already?

I scoffed, trying to make it sound sexy though.

Me: Are you kidding me? Why would you say that?

Hillary: I was at your house few minutes ago remember?

Me: Oh yes. Still doesn't beat a student who rides a venza.

He tilted his head to a side and smiled.

Hillary: You've won.

Me: I always win. Just tell me what I want to know already.

Hillary: And what is that? Can't it wait till we're done eating?

Me: Okay. I'll serve.

There were varieties of meals on the table that I didn't know where to start from. I looked at Hillary in confusion and he smiled before calling on the waiters. He had called the girl by her name and I was surprised. I didn't say anything till they had served us and poured our wine.

Me: Thank you.

The girl nodded with a smile and they left. We began to eat,with me,looking for the very moment to pop in my observation. And of course I got it. The very moment he picked up a serviette to wipe the sides of his lips.

Me: Guess you're already a regular guy here that you already know their names. Wonder how many girls you've given same treatment.

He paused his lip before bringing in a smile;

Hillary: Sorry to disappoint you,none.

Me: I....

Hillary; I'll tell you. There's a club house here. My dad and his friends are registered members here so this is just one of our rights. Its wrong for you to think so lowly of me.

Guilt and shame washed over me. He dropped his fork and stood up,leaving the dinning area and going deeper into the room. I stood up and followed him.
He got to a point and stopped.

Me: I'm sorry. I'm not used to having dinner in this flamboyant way. I'm also surprised that you called her by her name so I just had to ask. I'm sorry.

He turned to me with a smile.

Hillary: Its okay. Let's go back and finish our meal then I'll clear all your doubts.

Me: You ain't angry anymore?

Hillary: I'm not.

He led me back to the dinning area and we resumed our eating,stealing glances at each other and thinking the other doesn't know.





My thumbs o..Lots of office work and typing so its aching aready. Good night lovers of PamelB.
