Chapter 5 (Doyin’s perspective)
You
know the feeling you get when you get what you’ve wanted for a long time and
now that you have it you get so excited you have no idea what to do with it.
That was the way I felt about my relationship with Jade, I couldn’t sleep and
when I did I couldn’t wait to wake up to talk to her, to see her again but most
importantly I was secretly hoping she wouldn’t change her mind, I mean she was
it, the dream, I finally got the girl, but there was one problem, Kofo…
I
needed to get rid of her, in the subtlest of ways, I mean I did lead her on, asking
for her number, but thank god I wasn’t given an answer. but she kept calling me non-stop, while I was trying
to ignore her, she didn’t get the hint, sending me treats that she would stop
talking to me, if I didn’t respond, I know I’m coming across as a dick but I
was head over heels for Jade that nothing and no one else mattered.
I
was beginning to get irritated by her, I know I know it wasn’t fair and
sometime I do regret that, but I really didn’t do anything to her I was trying
to stop her from getting played, I could make her my side chick and they both
wouldn’t have known about it, but I
loved Jade too much to do that to either of them, I know it was too early to
come to the conclusion of love but I did, there was something about her that
just captured me.
“what
did you do to kofo? Why are you not picking her call” Daniel texted me
Daniel
was that friend that never minded his own business, friend is even a strong
word to use for him, we never talked about anything important only sex and
girls and it just felt funny that Kofo went to report me.
“nothing”
I replied
“guy
you better have sense, she is vexing gon, she said she is going to delete your
number and never call you again”
“I
seriously don’t know what is going on with her”
“she said you’re not picking her call”
“she said you’re not picking her call”
“why
are you not picking her call?”
“guy
abeg dead the case”
“guy is like you are mad”
“guy is like you are mad”
“what’s
your own?”
“guy
I will change it for you oo”
I
decided to stop replying because the conversation was getting meaningless, I
get that I might have hurt her but what was the alternative? Leave her alone? Well that was what I was
doing, I asked her out and she acted like she didn’t want to be with me, I
don’t get why she was acting like this, maybe she was trying to play hard to
get but why play hard to get when you want to be gotten?
I
decided to give Jade a call, listen to her voice, she was my drug and I
couldn’t get enough of, this was dangerous and I knew it but I did not care
“girlfriend”
“awwn
he called me his girlfriend\”
“are
you not ni?”
“you
don’t know how much I like hearing you say that”
“so
how are you today”
“not
really good I have cramps”
“what
kind of cramps”
“I
shake my head for you, I am on my period jare don’t you have a sister ni”
“no

“how
many brothers do you have?”
“none”
“you’re
an only child?”
“yes”
“okay,
your parents must be spoiling you”
“naso,

“yes
I have a brother and a sister”
“that’s
cool, yunno my cousin goes to your school”
“really

“creative
art, year two”
“okay
so how is it like to be an only child”
“it
gets really lonely some of the times, no one to fight, no one to talk to, it’s
just you”
“well
you’ve got me now, you’re not alone anymore”
“yeah,
when are you going to school”
“tomorrow”
“okay

“we
are going to make this distance thing work right?”
“yes”
“okay”
“so
what you going to do about the cramps?”
“I’m
just going to just drink warm water”
“pele,
it’s because of the progress of nature”
“I
don’t get”
“it’s
biology your menstrual pain is basically for the next generation, that egg
could have just been a child”
“that
doesn’t make any sense”
“it
does joor”
“wo
let it go”
So
when next am I going to see you?”
“I
don’t know I will come back to Lagos in two weeks”
“why?
What is happening in two weeks?”
“nothing
I just want to come back or don’t you want me to come?”
“no
na”
“okay
then”
“so
where are you going to be staying when you get to school?”
“I
want to get my own apartment but I going to my aunt’s house first, I am trying
to force my dad to get me my own apartment because I know him now he can say I
should be staying in my aunt”
“why
don’t you want to stay with your aunt?”
“I

spirit”
“okay
