[STORY TIME] THE DEPTH OF ADDICTION - S2 E6

The Depth Of Addiction

I went to my room. I Kept the envelope inside my wardrobe and I laid on my bed. Kikelomo and Bidemi entered and started begging me.

Bidemi: Femi... it's not fair what you are doing to us ooo.. Kikelomo has been crying since you left.

Femi: why would she cry? She has a lion heart. Anyway, Kikelomo I'm sorry about today. I guess I really over reacted. Please forgive me. (It's getting late I just want them to leave).

Kikelomo: (crying) I'm sorry... I said those things to....

Me: (cuts her off) I understand... to protect your sister. okay.. I'm very much fine now.

Bidemi: (sniffs) why do you like drinking after each argument?

Me: I don't know. .. let me see you guys off... (I pecked Kikelomo) we will be fine.... I'm also sorry.

It's late. I just put on my singlet with my bathroom slippers. I saw them off to the junction of my street and I waved them good nite.

As I was coming home; I saw Ruka coming out of her house. (shayo na bastard). I called her "mama mi".

Ruka: Femi.... (rushed down) long time... how are you doing?

Me: I'm fine... I still remember your audition ooo. I will definitely come.

Ruka: I was about reminding you. Thank you very much.

Me: I just hope the girls at next week audition would be more or as beautiful as the last one

Ruka: sure... most of those girls are coming.

Me: really; I have a crush on a particular girl that day. I hopes she comes ooo.

Ruka: (surprised) what is her name?

Me: I dint get to talk with her that day but she's very beautiful as you.

Ruka: (Smiling) stop teasing me.

Me: Okay oooo... if you can help me get that girl (pointing to the sky), I swear I will be doing your environmental for you.

Ruka: (laughing) you are very funny.... Iike seriously how does she looks like?.

Me: (Smiling)... all of you are like chinko people, you look alike.... lepa with height. Does that helps you?

Ruka: (laughing) I don't know that you are funny like this ooo. Okay let me show you the picture of some f the girls on my phone; hopefully she might be there.

She started showing the pictures of the girls on her phone. Most of the pictures were grouped ones. I just kept telling her. ... no... not this one.

But when the picture got to Ruka's personal picture.

Me: this is the girl I'm talking about.

Ruka: (shocked)... I'm the one there ooo.

Me: I know... I have been thinking of a way to tell you that I like you. but the fear of being rejected always stops me from telling you. As you can't lose what you don't have; I have already made up my mind to tell you.....'I like you Ruka 'and I will want you to be my girlfriend.

Ruka: Femi... that's not possible. I can't go out with you, besides I have a boyfriend.

Me: I dint expect a girl as beautiful as you not to have a boyfriend... I'm not only asking you to be my girlfriend... I want you to be my best friend. Someone I can share my dreams with.... someone I can grow up with.... someone I can..... (cuts me off)

Ruka: I'm sorry Femi.... I can't date you..

Me: why can't you date me? Is it because I'm putting on bathroom slippers and a singlet? Please give me 5mins; so that I can put on something more casual. Maybe you will change your mind then (turns to leave)

Ruka: you are very funny and stubborn. What has your dressing got to with this? Hmnnnnnn.....okay, I will think about it..

Me: hush... thank you... thank you.... should I call you this night to know my result?

Ruka: not that soon oooo.... okay I will tell you after the audition on Tuesday.

Me: Okay... but I hope I won't die of hypertension before then...

Ruka: lailai.... God forbid.

We continued chatting and my rang. It was Bidemi. I told her that it was my mum.

Me: maybe she needs something.... got to go

Ruka: Okay... good night...

Me: good night.... try to dream of me

Ruka: (Smiling) and you too.. bye.

I rushed into the house and I picked when she calls the second time.

I was very happy... I picked Bidemi's call.

Me: hello dear... you guys ought to be home by now.

Bidemi: we ved gotten home jare.. we just have to warm the soup for the family.

Me: Okay...is Kikelomo there?

Bidemi: no... should I get her for you?

Me: don't worry... I will call her later

Bidemi: Okay... no worries then.

Me: Bidemi..... I'm sorry about today... the fight and what I said to Kikelomo. I will still call her to apologise.

Bidemi: it's me that supposed to apologise.... I caused the fight and the fight caused the quarrel between both of you.

Me: thanks... I got to rest now... but that's after I call your sister.

Bidemi: Okay dear.... before I go to bed... can I ask you a question?

Me: sure.

Bidemi: are we dating back now?

Me: (breathes heavily) no.... Only if your sister approves it.

Bidemi: (excited) yes she did... that's what we came to tell you. but you gave us a cold welcome.

Me: I'm sorry.... we will talk tomorrow na

Bidemi: love you

Me: (pretends not to hear) good night

Bidemi: love you

Me: okay...love you too

Bidemi: odaro Oko mi

I ended the call and I dialled Kikelomo's number.

Kikelomo: hello

Me: hello... I hope you are fine now?

Kikelomo: yes... thank you

Me: I'm sorry about what happened today... I hope you have forgiven me?

Kikelomo: I'm the one that supposed to be asking the question... I'm sorry for everything today...
Me: it's alright. At least we are friends again

Kikelomo: (giggles) thank you for that.

Me: it's nothing jare... henhen... Bidemi said that you guys wanted to tell me something today.

Kikelomo: didn't she tell you?

Me: she did

Kikelomo: what is your opinion about it?

Me: I love her but I'm afraid to go deep with her because of some of her behaviour.

Kikelomo: so what did you intend doing now?

Me: I will tell her the truth that I can't cope with her attitude.

Kikelomo: no ooo... she will think I aided you with your decision. I don't want any wahala with you Bidemi till I return back to school.

Me: what would now happen to us?

Kikelomo: there is no us... Bidemi is your us now. I don't want any wahala.

Me: Okay ooo... thanks for your humility. I appreciate. I want to sleep now. I'm very tired.

Kikelomo: Okay... good night.

We ended the call.

I think I like Bidemi but I'm not the same person that they know now. May God help me with this my decision oooo.

I dialled David's number (Motunrayo) and we talked for 7mins. Then I kissed her goodnight.

It's now 10:42pm. I wanted to call Sarah but I know that she is not too happy with me. And it's not my fault jare... I can't be using performance enhancer drug everytime because I want to mate her. No... hell no... I just have to find a way out. I mean a way out..... Badoo.

I always look up to him in everything.. he will surely helps me. I rushed to his room. Ouch., he's sleeping. Why won't he? He uses to leave early and come back 7pm.

I turned to leave when he called out.
Femi.!!!
