Being Wicked On Weekends Episode 5

Who was that you were talking to? Maryjane asked when Lovingtime got back inside. You were spying on us? Lovingtime asked. No, I was watching over you and that's what big sisters are expected to do. Maryjane said. Eh-hen, anyway, it was my boyfriend. Your boyfriend? When did you start having boyfriends? Lovingtime corrected, Boyfriend! Not boyfriends. So what's his name? Lovingtime replied, Ofego na, the guy you met with me outside the other day, the one I told you I had been crushing on. So you finally gave yourself cheaply to him, he won't value you. Maryjane assured. Leave that burden for me to carry big sister, don't spoil my happy mood for me with your spoilers, wow, I'm so happy he finally collected my number, and we are going out on a date today, this afternoon. What happened to the date you had with him last saturday. Maryjane asked. I told you na, it didn't work out. Lovingtime said. And what is the assurance that this one will work out today. Maryjane asked. Lovingtime replied, It will, he's picking me up here and we will go together, I can't believe I first my big sister to have a boyfriend and the excitement of all is, my first boyfriend is my crush, what a dream come true. Maryjane warned, It's not by having him and celebrating Lovingtime, is by keeping him and making him stay, you don't know men. Talk to me Preacher. Lovingtime said. And moreover, Maryjane added, I guess he didn't ask you out before you started addressing him as your boyfriend, kid sister be wise. That should be my problem and not yours. Lovingtime pointed. Okay, anyway, can I come with you? Maryjane asked. To where? Lovingtime asked. To the date, to help you study him. No big sister, I'll study him myself, thanks for your concern. Lovingtime said going towards her room. This girl is becoming something else! Maryjane quipped. Because she first me have a boyfriend now, she can brag about it. Anyway, I don't blame her. She said and continued cleaning the chairs.

Later in the afternoon around 1 Lovingtime stood in front of their gate waiting for Ofego while Maryjane hid behind a curtain upstairs in her room watching. Where are you? She called. Are you no longer coming? I am! I'm in traffic. Ofego said. Are you driving? She asked. No, I'm on foot! He said.

Funny you, hurry up, the sun is killing me here and I don't want my parents to come back now from the wedding ceremony to meet me here, they'll just kill me. They won't! Ofego said. I'm already here! There you are, I can see you. They both ended the call. And Ofego got to her and hugged her. You are sweating. She said. I jogged. Ofego replied. Even in the afternoon? She asked. Yeah, let's go! He said. Aren't we taking a cab, I have the red cab phone numbers, I can call and order for one now, to come pick us up here. She said. No! Ofego replied. Why? She asked. Cabs are too cost, even if I have the money, I can't spend it on them when I know there's an alternative. Ofego said. And what's that alternative? Lovingtime asked. A tricycle, Ofego replied, we are taking a tricycle. I can't ride on that shit with you. Lovingtime said. You have to o! Ofego said. They are cheap and the money I'm supposed to use on a cab will be saved and maybe used in buying ice cream for you. Ice cream! She exclaimed. I love Ice creams! Okay, I'll take the tricycle (keke napep) with you since you will be buying me Ice Creams. Ice cream! Ofego corrected. Not Ice creams. Uhm, anyway, they are all the same, aren't they? She asked. Let's go, when we get there we shall know! Ofego replied, and they both walked on.

Still spying, Maryjane said to herself, He's cute! But ugly in the face. What was I even staring at? Mtteeeeeew! She hissed and freed the curtain.

As they stood on the bus stop waiting for a tricycle (keke napep) Lovingtime asked, Ofego, hope you've not forgotten where you are taking me to o? No, I've not, Isn't it the new fast food joint I told you about this morning. Yes, it is. She replied. Where is it located? It's not too far from here. Ofego said. Where exactly is it? She asked. It's in Ajah! Oh Ajah, okay.

A tricycle (keke napep) came and they took it.

As they got down at Ajah an Ice cream man was passing by with his bicycle and Ofego called, Ice cream, come! Give me 5 Naira own. I don't sell 5 Naira own. He said. Which one do you sell? Ofego asked. 20 Naira own, 30, 50, 80, 150. Give me 20 Naira own. Ofego said. Oga take! He said. Cut it! Ofego said. Oga, this is it. He handed it to him. Ofego collected it and handed it over to Lovingtime. What is this? She asked, shocked. Collect it first na! Ofego said. She collected it and he paid the Ice cream man off. Ofego, I ask again, what is this? She asked again. Taste it first na! Ofego said. She tasted it. What does it taste as? He asked. Ice cream! She replied. The one I told you I may buy for you. Ofego said. Watch out for Episode 6
