Angelsss:
"Lemme see that," Nadina grabbed the card from her friend.
"Girls, your seat belts," Duncan ignited the engine, wandering
why his wife to be was so interested in the stranger. "Darling
don't you think it’s wrong to take that from Udy?" Well, by all
means it was wrong, thought Udy. Her friend was really
getting on her nerves like, what was it really? Back in school
Nadina had always gotten hit by the sexiest guys, she felt
jealous yea but it wasn't this obvious, "Ok, love, have it
back." Nadina was a little bit thrilled by what she saw on the
card, the stranger was obviously rich, I mean who would keep
an office in such an expensive part of town? Well, Udy was
quite lucky.
The drive back home was quiet, it was a long day and the
girls had only achieved one thing; buying the wedding gown
and other accessories. Duncan was a bit too quiet; he
noticed how Udy stared at the stranger's complimentary
card. He was a bit bothered, maybe jealous. Well she always
gave him full attention even as friends, but today she barely
noticed him, "So are you gonna call him?" He asked, she
didn't reply. She kept on staring at the card. "Hello Udy?" He
brought the car to a sudden stop and she screamed, they all
burst out laughing, "What was that for?" Udy looked surprised,
she had been so much engrossed in her thoughts, also
imagining when she was gonna get married. It’s been long
she even dated any man, and now this man came from
nowhere and he looked like he was the one. "Well, definitely
amma call him. He's hot." She laughed, Okay, now what? She
saw the worried look on his face, and added "I will be
careful," at least he cared for her which was her only
consolation with Duncan, he cared not loved, his heart
belonged to Nadina, and it still hurt her but that was life
anyway.
She stepped down from the car and waved goodbye to the
lovebirds, phew she sighed, it was gonna be a hell of a night
for her. First of all she would take a cold shower, eat some
fruits and sleep.
So his name was Bode Thomas, Yoruba guy, she mused. Well,
they were usually hot, this one too. That name rang a bell.
There was only one popular Nigerian with that name. Oh my
god! Could it be him? The famous photographer with
numerous awards for his works? Well she would find out
later. But tonight, "I’m gonna love you, tonight." she sang as
she undressed.
Her phone began to vibrate loudly, "choi this kind china
phone, disgrace o." She saw the caller. She was in no mood
to argue so she ignored the caller—her mother, a pain in her
ass literally. The woman never ceased to amaze her, always
comparing her with Nadina, now she was getting married it
got worse, how could her own mother be like that? "You are
no good, why can't you be like Nadie," her mother would
always tell her. How could her daughter not be smart, have a
rich guy, get married? Well she was done with that for now.
The shower was one of the places she enjoyed most; trickles
of water poured on her already damp skin while she stood
there silently, allowing the water to wash away her
heartache. Tonight she was gonna let everything go,
everything! Maybe she was not good enough. From time
being, people always preferred Nadina to her; she was an
angel! So pretty and intelligent, she was the opposite. She let
the water take it away; thank god she was getting married at
least that would sever their friendship. She heard her phone
ring again. Damn! She swore, who calls at midnight? She
quickly dried herself and checked her doors and windows,
they were all locked. Back to the phone then, she saw the
text, "Naughty girl, remember we are going to the
photographer tomorrow. Bye!"
She shook her head slowly, crazy world, goodnight!
"Wake up darling, rise and shine!" Nadina screamed at the
sleeping Udeme. "You forgot I have the spare key," Nadina
said looking at her startled face. "I’m not going out today, I
don't feel too well," she tried to tap out. "Yes you are and
we are leaving. Hurry!" She knew all of her friend's tricks.
She left for the kitchen to help herself with some fruits,
damn! The fridge was well stocked, uhmm! "Apples, or
carrots?" Apples it is, she picked red apples. She heard her
friend sing in the shower, a love song indeed. That reminded
her about the stranger, she was curious since she had laid
eyes on that man, she was never the same. That was a bad
thing! Her wedding was in a months time. Well, a little flirting
wouldn't hurt, but what if her friend found out? Well, she saw
how important this man was to Udy, but who cared? He may
have gotten close to Udy just to get closer to her. Yea, she
knew guys, many guys if not all got closer to her through
Udy. Poor girl, she was no match for her. Nadie beauty
queen, she praised. No man had ever resisted her and she
was sure this Bode guy wouldn't either. So she had to find
that card get the number and call the dude!
"Uhmm what’re you looking for?" Udy asked puzzled. "I kept
my ATM card somewhere near this drawer, can't find it." Her
friend said while searching. She wasn't surprised, Nadie was
a very careless person. "Search well o, madam cash, Give me
twenty minutes to dress up, and twenty for makeup." "What
the hell?" Nadie screamed as she threw a pillow at Udy. Now
she was gone, she had to find that card. "Where are you,
cardie cardie," she remembered the bag! Yea, she searched it
over but it wasn't there. She looked around carefully and saw
something placed over a novel, "hello baby!" She held out her
phone and copied the number, why would she keep this card
again? She didn't want Udy to see this guy and probably get
to be in a relationship with him, well "Bode is mine for now,"
she said as she tore the card into pieces.
