Episode 21
On my way home, I branch to an eatery, to get some pizza and soft drink. I need to eat to and drink to my Victory, it’s not easy.
On my way out of the eatery, I met precious, walking in.
Savvy, she screamed, running towards me. She jumped on me and I had no choice than to hold her before she falls.
Hey, precious, how are you, I said, while still being envelopes in the hug.
I’m fine, where have you been, she asked.
Have been around, I said, then dropped her down.
I heard what happened, she said, immediately I dropping her down.
You heard, how, who told you, I asked.
Esther, your landlord’s daughter, she said. I dropped by to say hello, when she recognized me and called me. she explained everything to me, precious added.
Hmmmmm it’s okay, I said. So what brings you here, I asked.
Well, I just felt I should take myself out, since I have no body to take me out, she said. What about you, she asked.
Well as you can see, I came to get what I’ll eat and drink to my victory, I said.
Please gist me, she said, making a baby’s face.
Alright,alright, I said.
We located a spot, and sat down. I told her to order what she needed and she did. I began gisting her everything from when it’s started. She listened keenly to every word I said.
Woah that’s a thrilling story, she said. Your so smart and intelligent, she added.
I was about saying something else, when two guys with three girls, walked close to where we were sitting.
Savvy I supposed, said one of the guys, stretching his hand, for an handshake.
I don’t believe we’ve met, I said, receiving the hand shake.
Can we all sit with you please, he said and I nodded in agreement and they all sat down.
I’m damilola, he’s Michael ama, she over there, is rose, that’s utomi, and sitting close to me here is To Mi.
Wow, I almost screamed. they’re are my favorite readers, especially To Mi, I nicknamed her Marine because she’s always interested in Marine movies and stories.
You guys don’t know how happy I am to see you all here, it feels like I’m dreaming, I said, and precious immediately pinched me, and they all laughed.
If you feel pains, then your not dreaming, she said and another round of laughter followed.
She’s precious, I said to them.
The precious who commented in one of your episodes that you’ll not die, because she hasn’t tasted your Indaboski yet, To Mi asked and everyone laughed.
Yes oh, I’m the one, precious replied, laughing.
I told them to order what ever they’ll love to take and they did.
We all gist, while eating. I must say, they’re all fun to be with. It reminds me of my family.
We finished eating and all decided to take our leave. I told them I’ll meet them outside, after I finish making payment. I was done and came out to meet them taking pictures. I brought out my phone and we took pictures as if we were competing in a photo shoot.
After all the snapping they all thanked me for everything, and I told them from now on we’ll be doing this once in a while.
They left, except To Mi, who said she’ll like to have a word with me in private.
I’m going, my mum just called, said precious.
Alright precious, I’ll see you later, I said and she left.
Is she your girlfriend, To Mi asked.
Nope, she’s my very good friend, I Said. So what did you want to discuss, I said.
Where’s my story, she asked.
She has caught me. She told me to wirte a story for her about Marines, that she’ll pay me. Well she actually sent half of the payment which I had used immediately I saw the alert.
It’s almost ready, I lied. You’ll get it in three days time, i added.
It’s okay, she said. I’ll be sticking around here for a while, so hope to see you again, she added, walking away.
Yeah, sure, I said.
And oh, she said, making me raise an eyebrow. thanks for today, you really made my day, she added and left.
I booked an online ride and within minutes they driver landed. He took me directly to my house. I payed him and got down from the vehicle. I ignored my neighbors who were already asking me questions, unlocked my door, got in and went straight to my bed and I laid down and slept.
To be continued.
