[STORY TIME] THE DEPTH OF ADDICTION - S3 E8

THE DEPTH OF ADDICTION

We continued talking and laughing at the same time. My phone rang and I hissed when I saw the caller to be Bidemi. She saw my odd reaction.

Chidinma: who was that?
 

Me: it's nobody....

Chidinma: I know she would be nobody to you now but when you were busy chasing her all over; she was everybody then. Guys; Una too wicked.
 

Me: (laughing) no ooooo.. I'm not like that oooo. She's my best friend and she got into a misunderstanding with her elder sister. I demanded she apologise but she refused. Told her not to call me till she has. 

Chidinma: (not convinced)Okay oooo.... how would you know if she had apologised when you dint pick her call?
 

Me: (Smiling) leave that girl jare... if she had... her elder sister would have called me.

It's now 11am and I'm now hungry. I asked her if she had eaten and her reply was yes. I still insisted we go to a cafeteria around to eat.

We walked very close to each other as we walked to the cafeteria. We talked and laughed loudly when I heard my name. It was Emeka. He was on the other side of the road. He crossed over to meet us.

Emeka: (shakes hand with me) Good morning sister

Chidinma: Good Morning 

Emeka: (now faces me) so because you are with your beautiful girlfriend now... you no wan greet your bros
 

Me: (Smiling while staring into Chidinma's eyes) no vex, bros Emeka... "Kedu sir"

They both laughed because of the tone I used to pronounce "Kedu sir".

Chidinma: don't spoil our language Mr Femi...

Emeka: don't mind him.
 

Me: I have heard you... Emeka meet Chidinma... Chidinma:Emeka

I introduced Chidinma to Emeka as my friend. He complimented her beauty and he says goodbye and zooms off to the place only god knows.
 

We got to the cafeteria. I ordered for a plate of rice with extra fish. I made her order when she insisted on not eating.
 

We kept quiet as we eats our food. Then she broke the silence.

Chidinma: thanks for the food. The food is deliciously perfect.
 

Me: Yes... it's one of the best cafeteria that we have around here. 

Chidinma: it's good... I wish we had something like this in our area.
 

Me: it's okay...

We both finished eating at the same time. We were heading back home when she asked me a funny question.

Chidinma: why dint you introduce me as your home teacher to Emeka?
 

Me: (Smiling) I don't want to embarrass you. Emeka is unpredictable. He would definitely insinuate it.

Chidinma: Okay.... maybe that's why you don't want me to teach you. I'm too small to be introduced as one.
 

Me: I'm sorry if it makes you feel bad.

Chidinma: I was only joking ooo.. you can introduce me as anyone that makes you feel comfortable and me not embarrassed. I hate embarrassment. We both laughed.

We continued chatting and laughing when I saw Kikelomo&Bidemi standing in front of our gate. I took a deep breath as we approach them.

I just hope that Bidemi would let me do the introduction before she do the expected this time around.

I walked over to the Adeboye's with a forced smile. I could see that Bidemi was looking away from us. I guessed she never expected to see a girl with me so soon. We exchanged greetings.

Me: hi girls

Kikelomo: hello Femi.... we dint know that you would be having a visitor today.
 

Me: Yes... I dint know either. this is the young girl I told you about. 

Kikelomo: (confused) What girl are you talking about?
 

Me: she's my home teacher.... it was because of her I left your house earlier that day.

Kikelomo: Okay.... (facing her) my name is Kikelomo and this is my kid sister Bidemi. it's nice to meet you.

Chidinma: I'm Chidinma; it's nice meeting you guys too.

We all entered the house and we started chatting. It never took long before Kikelomo and Chidinma develop a strong bond between them. Maybe it's because of the university exposure that they both have. They kept talking until I drag Bidemi away with me to have a private discussion. We are now alone from Kikelomo and Bidemi.

Me: how are you doing now?

Bidemi: I'm fine... I thought you don't want to have anything to do with me again.
 

Me: I wish I could but I just can't..

Bidemi: why can't you?
 

Me: (changing the topic) my mum employed Chidinma as my home teacher. I can't imagine to be tutored by a girl.

Bidemi: (Smiling) there's nothing strange about it.
 

Me: I just hope it won't affect my reputation among my friends.

Bidemi: it's nothing really... so where were you guys coming from when we saw you?
 

Me: we went to eat.

Bidemi: Okay.... I'm sorry about what happened the other day; I hope you have forgiven me?
 

Me: sure... why won't I? you are my sweetheart... I can't but live with your mistakes 

Bidemi: thank you (leans over for a kiss)

She kissed me and we continued chatting. Kikelomo and Chidinma joined us.

It's now 3pm. Chidinma wants to take her leave. I excused the Adeboye's to see her off. I told her to please come around 8:30am tomorrow. She assured me of coming early. I collected her number and she leaves.

It's now me and the Adeboye's. We talked about the event of the other day and Bidemi apologise to me and Kikelomo. I was very happy that the two sisters were back together. We were chatting and laughing when my phone rang. It was Adedoyin. I excused myself to pick the call. I picked it while walking away.

Me: hello Adedoyin

Adedoyin: hi Femi... I'm just bored... I just want to hear your voice.
 

Me: really.... I'm feeling the same way too but I just don't want to disturb you because we already concluded to see tomorrow. 

Adedoyin: no oooo.... you are free to call anytime you want to.... at least it would make both of us happy.

We continued chatting with my heart in my mouth knowing fully well that the Adeboye's would be waiting for me. I looked for a way to discharge her.

Me: I have to go now. I have to go pick my kid sister. I will call you as soon as I get back 

Adedoyin: Okay dear... I will be expecting your call
 

Me: Okay... bye.

I terminated the call only to see the Adeboye's staring at me.
