He thought of calling but remembered he hasn't collected her number. As he was jogging, he intentionally jogged pass front of their compound, and was lucky to see her exercising outside. Hello Angel, come here! He said approaching her, wanting a hug. Don't come near me! She warned. You disgust me!
Ofego came. How? He asked.
Don't you know the stunt you played out last saturday. You told me to come and wait for you at First Date Restaurant, 3pm, you said, I came, waited, and was even caught by my uncle, If not that I lied my way out I would have been a working corpse by now and you want me to just hug you as if nothing happened? I tried calling, to apologise. Ofego said. What did you tried calling, when you don't even have my number? She asked. I realised that, and stopped calling. Actually, something came up, I had to go watch a football match, It was a London derby, Chelsea versus Arsenal, a cracker. Ofego explained. So, a football match is more important than our first date, I see! It's not that it is more important than our first date, it's just that I had to watch it. Ofego explained. Okay, is that how you live your life? She asked. Live my life as how? Ofego asked. Watching football on weekends! She said. No o. Ofego said. I do jogging too. Give me a kiss! She said tapping her left hand at her left cheek. In this open area? Ofego asked. Yes. She said. That's the only way I can forgive you. Okay. Ofego said. He looked around, there was no one in sight, only the old woman practicing kung fu in front of her compound. Ofego closed his eyes and gave her a kiss. The woman laughed and screamed, My son you are too much, come and give me my own too.
Don't mind her! Lovingtime said. I'm not minding her. Ofego assured. Why did you close your eyes? She asked. So that I can feel my first kiss. Is this actually your first kiss? She asked wanting to feel on top of the world if it is. No, it is my first kiss to you. Ofego said. So, you've kissed countless of women before? She asked feeling jealous. No, you are the second, the first was a little baby, my kid brother when he was born. Ofego said.
Wow! She exclaimed. So can you take me out today, since you disappointed me last saturday. Where do you want to go? Ofego asked. A fast food joint. She said. Possibly, Mr Biggs or Tanterlizers. No, I'll take you to a Mama Put Joint, possibly Mama Nkechi or Mama Iyabo. Fast food joints are too cost and don't fill tummy but Mama Put joints are cheap, and fills tummy. Ofego said.
But they are dirty, unkept, and smelling. She said. Eh? Don't say that again o. Ofego said. That's where I take my lunch, dinner and breakfast. So you don't cook? She asked. No, I don't. He said. I don't know how to. I am hoping if I get married to you, you will be of help. Who is talking about marriage now, you are taking me to a fast food joint today whether you like it or not.
Is it by force? Ofego asked. If you want me to continue loving you, it is by force. She said.
You are one hell of a controlling partner. Ofego said. Okay, I'll take you, but not Mr Biggs or Tanterlizers but a new fast food joint in town.
Wow! She kissed him and ran inside to break the news to her sister Maryjane, and came back. So when are we going, it must be today, what time? She asked. Uhm, 1pm, cause there is a match by 4. Let me have your number so that I'll call you on where to meet me and pick you up. Ofego said. Where to meet me? Meet me here, pick me here, take me from here. Haven't you already made here, your regular joint to meet me. So, meet me here. Okay, I'll meet you here, and we'll go from here. Ofego said.
You are not even ashamed, you don't even have your supposed lover's phone number, give me your phone jor. She said and snatched the phone from Ofego and typed her phone number and saved it. I already have yours! She informed. How? And you've not been calling? Ofego asked.
Girls don't call, it's guys that call. She said. This girl is something else. Ofego thought. And who told you that? He asked. My elder sister, Maryjane. The one that I saw that day? He asked. Yes! She said. Hmm! He quipped. Let me run along.
Okay! She said, and he left. Watch out for Episode 5
