[STORY TIME] THE DEPTH OF ADDICTION - S3 E7

THE DEPTH OF ADDICTION

I think she likes me (Adedoyin) and I can't wait to see her. I'm very happy that things is going on as I would have loved it to be. 

My problem on Tuesday is not only affected by who to go out with but also with my freedom now. I'm supposed to start my lesson with Chidinma tomorrow and If I can't find a lesson teacher before today runs out. Then I think I'm stuck with her. Where would I find a chemistry teacher before tomorrow.? 

I know that's unrealistic now. I just have to get along with her. She won't have a problem with me unless she restricted my movement.

I will start with Tuesday as my day off. Hope we understands ourselves.

I was still thinking how Tuesday would be when my phone rang. It was one of the calls I was expecting... Sarah's.

Me: hello love

Sarah: hi sweety... Adedoyin just told me about your conversation with her. She can't wait to see you

Me: really. ...

Sarah: yes... I think she likes you. she just kept saying that she can't wait for tuesday to come.

Me: same here.... she sounds like a teenager.... I like her too

Sarah: hmnnnnn... just take it easy ooo... I'm still on the other side of phone.

Me: I'm sorry..

Sarah: it's okay... just make it more professional. ... business like...

Me: that's what I'm doing...

Sarah: with what she told me; it seems that you were flirting with her.

Me: (confused) how.? .. I don't understand you

Sarah: stop complementing her... she seems carried away by your talk.

I understand what she meant...(jealous).. so I just kept quiet like what she said was right. We chatted for awhile and she ends the call.

It's now late.... I dialled Motunrayo's number and she picked. she still plans on coming on Tuesday and I said no problem about that.

My eyes is now very heavy but I just have to check on the Adeboye's. I dialled Kikelomo's number. She dint pick. After about 5mins; she called back and I picked.

Me: hello kike

Bidemi: it's not kike.... it's me.

Me: Bidemi... what are you doing with her phone? 

Bidemi: I already made up my mind to beg her but she was sleeping when I entered her room. I was about leaving her room when your call entered. I waited for five minutes hoping that you would call me too but (cuts her off)

Me: call you ke... you have not done what I asked you to do.... until then; good night.

Bidemi: (sobbing) okay...good night.

I ended the call and slept off.

I just have to prepare well for Tuesday. Tomorrow is the only day I have to put all in order. I have to lie tomorrow to cover my acts on Tuesday.

Who I will lie to.... tomorrow would decide... it might be.......
Chidinma
Motunrayo
Ruka
Adedoyin

May god help me!

*******************************

I woke up around 8am. I knew Chidinma would come around in an hour time. I dashed to the bathroom for my early morning drills.

I connected a call to Sarah. She picked. She reminded me of tomorrow. She pleaded that I should keep to my promise. I ended the call when I heard the bell sound; I guessed it has to be Chidinma.

I rushed to the gate and I guessed right. It was Chidinma quite alright but just dressed more formal that makes her more mature. I opened the gate and we chitchat while walking into the house. 

Chidinma: Good Morning Femi

Me: Good Morning.... welcome. 

Chidinma: so have you made up your mind about me taking you.

Me: (confused) What do you mean? 

Chidinma: your mum explained everything to me... she told me why you dint want me to take you.

Me: (mummy sef) hmnnnnn... so what was your reaction after she told you?

Chidinma: does it really matters? Your decision is final.

I already know that I'm stuck with her but with our conversation now; she doesn't know that. I just have to swing the situation to my favour.

Me: Okay... I'm sorry. I have talked to one of my friends home tutor and he has already accepted to start tomorrow. 

Chidinma: (looks sad) okay then... I think I should get going. your mum told me to expect something like that from you.

Me: it's okay then

She stood up to leave. Then she suddenly let me into her innermost secrets.

Chidinma: (voice low) I'm sorry to be bothering you but I just have to plead with you on this job.

Me: what do you have me do now? I had already told my new tutor to resume tomorrow.

Chidinma: (voice still low) you can still tell him about me. He has other students. I just need this job. We are on break now. I just have to raise some money before going back. (paused then continues) my parents only managed to pay my school fees. I can't tell them that I still have some departmental levy that's not included in the school fees. I still need to... (now tears rolling down her eyes) .

She kept talking with the tears still rolling down. I felt for her that I just had to stop the play acting.

Me: it's okay... You can have the Job.

Chidinma: thank you... thank you...

Me: but only on one condition....

Chidinma: anything...

Me: I won't be available for all the lesson days and you will not dare tell my mum.

Chidinma: (surprised) why won't you be available?

Me: not always... maybe once in a week, at most twice. 

Chidinma: it's okay then... thank you for the job.

We dint even talk about anything about Chemistry. Maybe she's afraid that it might upset me.

Wetin concern me? I don't want the tutorial sef... Na my mummy wan just her waste money.
