Hi!
Its been a long long long time coming. I havent posted in a while, I apologize for that. I recently wrote a story and shared it on my Facebook page. Feedback was impressive and I decided to share it on my blog. Here is the first episode. I won't promise an episode per day but I can promise that I won't let it linger.
Episode 1
Segun became my BBM contact after we met at Frieda's birthday party, about a month ago. We started off well and he seemed really cool to me. Well, he's tall and handsome (Trey Songz kinda handsome). Plus, he worked with an insurance company. Who no like better thing biko? After about two weeks of chatting almost every night, he asked for us to see again. I had admired this guy from the first time I saw him at Frieda's party. He was just too cute not to take to Mama.
Rewind....Pause!
6:08pm
I was at my house on this particular Friday night. I had just got back from work, traffic was mad and I was tired like hell. I had initially planned on eating something and taking a short nap before heading to the Island for Frieda's birthday. Just as I opened my car door, my phone rang. It was Fola. I just looked at the phone, hissed and threw it on the passenger's seat. I was angry and tired. I just locked the car and headed to my two bedroom apartment. Quick shower and I was fast asleep in a flash.
I woke up to a rather disturbing noise. Someone was banging my door. I yawned and rolled over. I was that tired. My eyes caught my alarm clock.
8:52pm
My eyes widened and I ran downstairs almost knocking over the flower vase in my room. It was Tinu. She had been knocking on my door for quite a long time.
'Why you dey sleep like dead person?' she finally said. She was furious. It was obvious.
'No vex abeg. I was tired'. I was still groggy like I was hungover. God! What was wrong with me?!
'You never dress? Wetin dey do you sef?' Tinu's eyes spoke a million other sentences.
'Let me just shower biko. I'll be down in a minute' I finally said not wanting to annoy her any further.
'You dey craze. Bomb dey your head.' Saying this, she shoved me out of the way and headed straight to my room. Before I could say Jack, she threw my clothes and shoes at me.
'E be like say them dey play world cup for your head abi? Party wey don start since 7!' She ranted again.
'I'm sorry' I muttered amidst my dressing up.
'Get your sorry ass outside in five minutes' Tinu replied in the most polished accent you would ever hear from her. That was Tinu for you, one minute she's razz, the next minute she's your Miss America with her impeccable American accent.
Tinu had to drive while I fixed my makeup. I checked my phone and saw 37 missed calls, a dozen BBM messages and even more SMSs. I had left my phone in the car. We got to the party around 9:30pm and to our suprise, the party started officially around 8:30pm. So we were still on time. Tinu and I settled in, helping Frieda out with food and drinks for guests. On my last drink trip, that was when I saw Segun. He wore a navy blue polo top tucked in blue jeans. His smile 'wowed' me. The guy fine no be small. I served him alongside his friends or so I guess and went about my business.
Sitting alone with a drink and my phone in my hand, Segun came over and asked me to dance with him. I was shy at first but I soon overcame it as it was a club and I saw my friends grooving and partying hard. I soon got tired and asked to sit. That was how we started talking...
Fast forward...stop!
Present day...
After posting this dude for about two weeks, I agreed to a date. He insisted I pick the location since he chose the previous ones which I cancelled out on him. I finally settled for a restaurant in Surulere. He fixed the time, 7pm. I got dressed and was ready by 6:30pm. The restaurant was not far from my house so it was easy to locate. I just parked outside and waited till 7pm.
6:59pm. My phone rang. Segun!
'Are you still coming?' came the voice, as cool as the evening breeze.
'I'm outside'
I stepped out of the car after adding final touches to my makeup. I wore court shoes and they were beginning to make click-y sounds on the road. I just straightened up and walked into the restaurant. Before I could locate him, I felt a gentle tap on my shoulder, right behind me.
'Hi Toun'. He held out his hand and gave a big smile. I shrugged and went for a hug. He was quite suprised. I could smell his cologne and trust me, it was perfect. The hug seemed to last forever when he decided to let go of me, if I wouldn't.
'Hi Segun' I finally said. He gestured towards a table marked 'Reserved'. In my head I was like, 'Oh-my-damn!', feeling like the Queen of England that I was not. He pulled out my seat. I muttered a 'Thank you'. I was shaking. It was beginning to look more like a business meeting. His tuxedo was crisp and so on point.
'Did you come from the office?' I asked.
'Yes, I came from the office. And you?'
'Same here. Traffic was hectic.' I just lied. I didn't want to look too serious about the date in my mustard yellow peplum dress and court heels.
'Sorry about that. What would you like to eat?'
I smiled like an idiot, again, and the next few minutes seemed like I was in wonderland.
