āI seriously do love you. I donāt know what else to say in order to convince youā i said softly, searching Jeniferās eyes.
āYou donāt understand. All iām saying is that what you are doing isnāt right. Moreover your friend Tony is very much in love with me and i love him too. Thereās no vacancy in my heart right now. Please just do the right thing, go and forget about meā she pleaded solemnly.
āno i canātā i answered strongly, frowning my face.
āvery well then, Tony will get to hear of your disturbance. I canāt hide it from him anymoreā she threatened and stood up. I equally stood up and faced her.
āyea do the right thing and tell him. It makes no difference to meā i breathed, kissed her left cheek and hurriedly left the apartment.
It wasnāt as if i was escaping or something. I only left in order to give her the breathing space she needed in thinking over my advances.
I knew she wasnāt going to tell Tony anything.
As i headed to my car which i intelligently parked some distance away from the compound, my phone rang again. It was still Tony calling me. I breathed deeply and answered.
āoga Tonyā i hailed,
āwhere are you?. You havenāt been answering your callsā he asked.
āoh sorry. I left the phone in my car, so where are youā i answered,
āiām just leaving your house, thought you were thereā he said.
āfine letās meet at Prestige hotel. Letās chill out there for a whileā i suggested.
āno i rather go home and sleep. My day was stressful and hard. Jenifer also isnāt helping at all, sheās been acting so strange lately. I wanted to discuss many things with you but we can leave it for tomorrowā he said and hung up. I shrugged, switched on my car engine and drove home.
.
Tony wasnāt a graduate like me. He equally was about two years older. However he made good money when he left the country in his early twenties. He came back few years later to establish in Benin city. He had a good number of buses plus properties scattered around town. We both came from the same village which helped in making our friendship very strong.
As i drove home, I thought about him, his girlfriend and my plans. I sure wanted the girl which truly was the highest act of betrayal any man can do to his friend. But i cared not, hissing as i noticed that my joystick was half erect.
I tried making it go down but it refused. The little love play i earlier had with Jenifer truly was something else. I was so close in getting the treasure.
I hissed again, grabbed my phone and called Selena. A call-girl{pr0stitute} i befriended during my final days in the university. We constantly did favours for each other and that helped in sealing our friendship.
āEminem how far?ā she greeted as she answered my call.
āare you free??ā i asked,
āyes ooā she answered,
ājust come over with a friend. Please she should be as beautiful as you areā i said playfully.
āwe will be there by 9pmā she answered, laughed and hung up. I smiled to myself with satisfaction.
There is nothing like spending the night with two experienced bit.chesā¦.
