Mrs. Williams didn’t save my number!As I thought about this I snapped myfinger like ‘yeah! That’s right!’ If she saved my number that trick wouldn’t work, it broke my heart but on the other hand it saved me, so it’s cool.I had my earpiece on, I put the world on silent and my song in the highest volume.
With my clouded mind and my loud song I was going to my hostel. I was jamming to ‘Wicked Games’ by The Weeknd (you know the song yeah?), as I was listening to this song I was thinking about everything.
I thought about Mrs. Williams, I thought about Vanessa, I thought about the new almighty Lola I just had new experience with. I thought about my Life, I thought about what I really want. Am I confused? Am I searching for Love or for Lust? I thought about the possible future Mrs. Williams and I could have together, I thought about the possibility of Mrs. Williams’s son being someone I know, since we stayin the same hostel. I thought about the circle I just entered, the Lola and Vanessa’s circle, I know it is all fun for now, but the latter might be horrible, when real jealousy sets in, (we all know babes can be really dramatic when jealous).
The song you listen to has a lot of influence on your thoughts unno? I was probably thinking about that because of the song I was listening to. I was so deep in my thoughts I wasn’t even really listening to the song again, I was dead to my environment, and I was completely lost in my thought.I was about entering my hostel when one of my friends, PrinceEasy, tapped me from behind; I didn’t even see him before. I was quite frightened when he tapped me, the tap brought me back to life, he was saying some things I couldn’t hear, like he was talking to a deaf man, my earpiece was plugged to my ears na, so I didn’t hear what he was saying. He looked super excited, he was greatly agitated.‘PrinceEasy, wassup? Wetin dey happen?’ I asked him to know the reason behind his fly mood. PrinceEasy has been my nigga from day one in school, he was like the first friend I made in school, he tells me almost everything happening to him, I’m a bit reserved, I don’t usually tell people what’s happening to me till I know I can no longer hide it.He looked at me like what’s wrong with this one that he is talking like someone that wants to faint, he musthave noticed I was not in the right mood, but at that moment he didn’t care. All he wanted was to tell me what he had done in the night. With the way he was doing, I knew he must have done something really crazy or something he has been wishing to do but I was just looking at him like ‘if only you know what I’ve done tonight, you will know you didn’t do sh*t’“Baba, I’ve done many things tonight o” I looked at him like ‘and so? After that nko?’ but still he did not care, he was just excited, he was acting like I’d jump up after telling me what he did. My mood was too fucked up to be curious, I was thinking about me.I shouldn’t be having mood swing; I should be in a very fly mood. I mean the mood I pictured myself after doing all I had done in that night was a fly guy mood, I pictured myself walking back to my hostel like I own the world, with Kanye West kind of swag. But it was the direct opposite; Iwas just walking back to my hostel like they stole my plantain. I didn’t know why I was feeling like that but I couldn’t help it.I just managed to ask him what was happening, that was how he scattered the gist for me; it was about him and Sandra. We actually met Sandra in a club; she was a crazy girl when we met her, party animal and fun loving. PrinceEasy and I met her at the same time, I actually wanted to set her p that night but my Nigga, PrinceEasy outwitted me. I didn’t bother, it’s one of those things Niggas do to Niggas.Because PrinceEasy wanted to gain admission into Sandra’s Institution of Honey, he became a fool for her, he spent a lot, and he did a lot. Sandra is one of those kinds of babes that any Nigga would want to hit, you know there are some babes you just want to hit, and you know you’d die of heartache if you make them your girlfriend. Nobody needs to tell you, you know falling in love with them is falling in your own grave.Sandra was one of those babes that when you meet her, she seems like an easy catch but it wasn’t like that for my Nigga. She really stressed andextorted him; it was all fine with him since he was pursuing something, but something very dramatic happened.Sandra gave her life to Jesus Christ!!!My Goodness! She was the fire in every party; an Impotent Nigga wouldgain his potency if she grinds him. No jokes, she all of a suddenly turneda new leaf, we thought she had started one of her“I want to be like Genevieve” moves, we thought she was acting. But, she wasn’t forming it, we actually confirmed ourselves. Bad Girl Gone Good, She became Rihanna’s opposite. She used to be all about club, banging, and smoking shit up! Now she’s all about Church; she used to be all about things of theworld now she is all about celestial (heavenly) things.The day I knew she has really turned to something else was when my friends (PrinceEasy inclusive) and I were coming from somewhere in the school when we noticed a group of sisters singing behind us, Sandra was among, infact na she dey front! She was singing out loud, she was singing like heavens were going to fall, as she was singing, she spoke intongues too. “Who are these Choir Mistresses again?” one of us said, I just stylishly looked back to see the girls singing, Lo and behold it was Sandra and her other sisters in the Lord, as I saw her I called Easy too.The look on PrinceEasy’s face was priceless, when we saw the way he looked at her we laughed out loud. She stopped singing when she saw us laughing. She increased her pace and caught up with us.
She walked up to us and this babe started preaching to all of us, we were like 5, that day I was amazed, I was just looking at her mouth while she was talking like ‘wow, after all you’ve donewith this mouth, word of God can stillcome out of it’?.Since then PrinceEasy’s dream of banging her and running away died. They became just friends later (you know sometimes you’d have spent too much on a babe and you won’t just want to watch her go, just like that.), she used to take him to fellowship a lot, and she was having positive influence on him, take him tolibrary and all that. Though they later started dating, the No Kiss, No Sex kind of relationship and they were enjoying the relationship, according to him.What PrinceEasy told me he did that night was he kissed Sandra, it shouldn’t be a big deal but it was to him, even to me, because Sandra wasn’t really into all those things anymore...... ...... . It took me time before I could get outof bed but I did, eventually. I went for my classes and all that. After my class, I told my friends to follow me to Vanessa’s place that I forgot my wallet in her place, on our way I also told them about last night.When we got to Vanessa’s place, I called her to come outside, she thought I was alone initially she wanted me to come inside, I told her Iwas with friends that she has to come downstairs, with my wallet.While we were waiting for her, Lola was just coming from school, she looked really stressed, like she had tofight devil during the day and all her make-up had worn out. She wasn’t allthat beautiful when I saw her, like herbeauty faded, all I saw was her ass. Seeing her ass again made me think of hitting her again, I thought about doggie, doggie with that kind of ass would be a lifetime experience.As she saw me outside, I think Vanessa had told her I forgot my wallet with her, she asked if that was what I came to get, she also told me she denied me entering her room after we left Vanessa’s room. “I need to rush upstairs and shower, I’m really tired” she looked really tired too; she left and went to her room. She must have met Vanessa on her way, because few seconds after she left Vanessa came.She knows most of my friends, after greeting them and giving them side hugs, she greeted me like I own her, she hugged me like she wanted to glue her breasts to my chest, I loved the feel of her airbags on me, I hugged her tighter, like I’ve missed her too.“Big Head, the rubbish you were doing last night made you forget your wallet” I looked at her like I was totally confused, like I didn’t get whatshe was saying. I collected my walletfrom her; I knew she couldn’t take from my money so I didn’t bother to check.We talked about some things; we talked about when we would see again, I told her I’d be busy for the rest of the week, like I told Lola. She wanted to start talking about last night, I reminded her my friends werewith me, and I wouldn’t like to keep them waiting, ‘Baby let’s talk about this later, I’ll call you’ I said to her andkissed her on her cheek, that was mesaying goodbye, as I turned my back,she said she knows I won’t call her. I knew I wouldn’t call her, I just said that to excuse myself.Getting back to school, my friends went to their hostel, only PrinceEasy and I stay in the same hostel, but notthe same room though. I went to my room and looked for what to eat…All through that day Mrs. Williams didn’t call me, and every time my phone rang I wished she was the onecalling. The first day went like that, the second day again she didn’t call, no call, no text, nothing from her at all.I wished I could call her, but I just couldn’t. The third day, I waited for her call, or her text, still I received nothing. When the fourth day was almost ending I wished I knew her Son, I would have gone to ask him ‘How’s your Mum? She has not calledme in 4 days, hope all is well?’That was me thinking, the fifth day was going…. By then I couldn’t take it anymore, I knew I had to call her, but not any time after 8p.m tho, I didn’t want Mr. I-Can-Pick-My-Wife’s Call, Mr. Williams to pick up again.When it was exactly 4’O clock in the evening, I called her. Guess who picked the call again?Mr. Williams???!!! No jhur, it was not Mr. Williams…. As I called the numberthis is what I heard“The MTN Number you’re trying to Call is currently switched off, please try again later”As the call ended, my heartache started, like a spear was thrown to my heart, at that moment if I saw a naked hottie, my Abraham staff wouldn’t perform any magic. I could feel my heart bleeding. What’s going to happen?Just let me go and shower, and think through in the bathroom. I took longer than I should in the bathroom,I was just thinking, what if her number never goes through again, how will I see her again? As I was thinking about this I remembered thecard she gave me has her Office Number on it. Let me just call her office.Quickly, I showered and rushed to myroom, searched my locker, searched everywhere, I couldn’t find the card she gave me again. I asked my roommates if they saw any card lyingin the room. Nobody did, Card was gone, and her number wasn’t going through.Later that day I tried to call her again, she was still switched off, the next day I tried to call her again; her number was still switched off. The next day I tried to call her again, same thing, she was still switched off.What’s going to happen? Is that how I won’t see Mrs. Williams again? Is that how Mrs. Williams’s path and mine will never cross again?
He was about gisting me how he the kiss happened when my phone rang. Who’s the caller? (Don’t worry I’m not ending this episode here, we are still rolling… LOL)I wished it was Mrs. Williams that called back but it was Vanessa that called. I picked up “Vanessa, wassup?” She sounded normal; I thought she wanted to para about what happened between Lola and me.“Have you checked your pocket? Don’t you know you’re forgetting something?” as she said this, I quickly checked my pocket, what am I forgetting?? Oh!! Fuck me!!! I forgot my wallet in her room; it must have dropped from my trousers, at that moment I really wanted to die.I couldn’t go back to her place again; I was too weak to do that. “Baby please can you help me bring it to myhostel, please”. I knew she wouldn’t bring it, she would want me to come take it myself, and maybe we’d finish what her boyfriend interrupted earlier.“You don’t know bringers; you better come and take your wallet if you need it” what am I going to do now? I was still thinking of what to do when my friend asked me if I was just coming from Vanessa’s place.
I just answered yes and didn’t say anything after.“So Vanessa’s place is where you’re coming from? Is that why you’re looking like someone that wants to die? She has drained all your energies again, na this babe go kill you last last” I ignored whatever he said and told him to continue with the gist of how he got his Spiritually Tight Girlfriend to kiss him when Lolacalled me.
He heard how the conversation went,he noticed something, I’m sure he was confused because I just told himI went to see Vanessa, why did Lola call me? Why were we planning another meeting? Because when she called me I told her I’d busy for the rest of the week.“My Nigga! how far? Who called you again?” at this point, I had to spill everything I did that night. So I picked up the gist and threw it at him,but I didn’t tell him about Mrs. Williams.He started whining me “ahh! You be chairman o, so only you! You dey with 2 babes for one bed!” he continued whining, “Ba Ba Ba baddest”. After all the whining he said, “Now I know why you’re this dull! Vanessa only is death to you, adding a friend is your end, just go upstairs, shower and make sure you drink milk before you sleep, and don’tforget the assignment we are to submit by 8a.m o, have you done it?”I begged him to help me with the assignment, I pretended I was really down, he agreed to help me with the assignment. He wanted to follow me to my room but his girlfriend, Sandra, called him to come and collect food, so he left.Immediately I got to my room, I went to shower and brush my teeth. I wentto the bathroom with my toothpaste, because I knew I would want to washmy teeth more than once, I knew I had to scrub my tongue very well.

Episode 8
Days went by; still I heard nothing from Mrs. Williams. Weeks rolled by; Mrs. Williams still didn’t call. It was getting close to a month when I decided to give up, I decided to let go, and then I blamed it on fate. “Maybe nothing is meant to happen between us.”Forgetting her was not easy for me, I just kept remembering the night I saw her, and how she swept me off my feet and made me crack a little fatin my trousers. Forgetting her was hard men, believe me it was hard.
How did I misplace the card she gaveme? I stopped blaming fate and started blaming myself; maybe I was a little bit oblivious about it. My heart was sinking; that I might not see her again gave me heartache, just like when my first love broke my heart I couldn’t eat well (I used to eat like 5 6times a day but it dropped to 3). I couldn’t sleep well too, I usually don’tdream but somehow Mrs. Williams has crept into my dream some few nights.It was very early in the morning, I wasstill sleeping sef when my phone rang and my ringtone penetrated my soul thereby forcing me to jump out of bed.
You remember my ringtone yeah? I don’t know why or how, I just felt there was something different about the way my phone rang that morning probably because I dreamt about her all night, maybe it was Mrs.Williams that was calling, that was how I felt.
With my sleepy eyes I quickly rushed to my phone, as I saw who was calling, I hissed. I already knew what she wanted, I picked up my phone grudgingly “Hello Sister Sandra, GoodMorning” It was PrinceEasy’s girlfriend that called me, I knew she wanted to invite me to a fellowship ni, I just knew it because anytime shecalls me it’s to ask me to come for fellowship or when she can’t reach her boyfriend.
.She greeted me like she would greet her Father-in-law, usually if she wants to ask me to come for her fellowship she goes straight to the point, but that morning she was just beating around the bush, she asked how was my night like 3 times. She even asked if I have eaten and it was around 6:30 in the morning, it was then I knew something was going on “Sandra what’s happening? Hope everything is going on well with you, you want to tell me something?” I asked her straight up to know why she called.It was when she told me what she wanted I understood why she was acting up. She said “Can I come with my Boyfriend to your place over the weekend?” For 2 weeks now me and My Guys has been going to my place over the weekend, to chill and all that. I was the only one around for that period, my Parents were out of the State for some weeks; they went to our Village to settle some family matters and my other sibling is in school, boarding school.The 2nd weekend with my guys at myhouse was actually the maddest, oneof my friends named Solomon but wecall him King Solomon was around during that weekend. King Solomon is a straight up bad guy, Grade-A Playboy, if this Nigga was actually the real Solomon, He’d have 7000 concubines and 3000 wives.
He’s bad like that.King Solomon is the guy that chauffeurs us round the school; he’s the only one with car in my clique. Sothat weekend, as the chauffeur he took us home… we were drinking and stuff when he suggested us to bring our babes in. I knew I was not going to call Lola or Vanessa, I have been avoiding them for reasons I can’t even explain and they were the only “Sure Babes” I had.I told them to go and get their ladies that I’d be home putting things together, PrinceEasy also knew his babe wouldn’t be a part of somethinglike that so he didn’t even try to reachher or call her to ask, he decided to just stay home with me too and wait for them to go get their Shawties.While King Solomon and my other friends went to get their girls, we were just checking things, if we still had enough Liquor and Stuff. PrinceEasy wasn’t looking all that happy, I knew he’d have loved to just chill with his babe over the weekend too.I tried talking to him, thought him some moves he could make to talk her into following her the coming week, at least he already got her to kiss him. It’s a gradual process; it all starts with a kiss yeah? He said he’d try and talk to her. He talked to me about Vanessa and Lola too, he asked me who I was seeing now, I told him none of them that I don’t want to go too deep in their circle, and a Nigga might be fucked up in due course.It took my guys almost forever to get back and on getting back the numberof girls I saw with them shocked PrinceEasy and I. Apparently the girlsthey called their friends and probablytheir friends called their friends too.
You know girls pull that stunt a lot“My Boyfriend is coming to pick me, we are going to his friends place for the weekend” that’s probably what one of them told her roommates and her yeye roommates too will be like “and we’re not doing anything over the weekend o, can we come with you, hope your boyfriend friends are handsome and rich, will there be food & fun there?” That was how I pictured the whole thing went down.Thank God they were wise enough to get more liquor and stuff, I didn’t like that the house was filled with friends,booties and liquor at first, because if my Mum should come and see what we were doing in her house ehn I’m dead and my Dad would made sure they bury me right on the spot.
We really had fun that night; I met some new babes too. It was just fun. So we already made plans for the coming weekend. When Sandra asked if she could come with her Boyfriend over the weekend I knew he has worked on what we talked about, he might have just added littlelies because I didn’t understand why Sandra would call to ask for permission to come over the weekend, she probably didn’t know we’d be throwing a mini party but what’s my business?I told her No P, that I’d be expecting the two lovebirds in my place. Immediately we ended the conversation I called PrinceEasy to know why he told his girl to call me.
I knew he must have lied for the Girl, he didn’t tell her other guys and babes would be coming to my place, he said he’d pretend he didn’t know.Later that day, my friends and I discussed how the weekend was going to be, it was on Thursday. We were to go to my house the next day, Friday and turn the fuck up, TGIF something. We made our plans; we dropped our contributions and all that. Everything was set, we were ready to have a Wild Weekend.Here comes Friday; The D-Day, we waited all week for it, it was Solomon’s call that woke me from bed, he had the highest ginger for theweekend, he even dropped the highest money sef. We are usually free on Fridays, no lectures… Normally all we do on Friday is NOTHING just Play Around and have King Solomon chauffeur us round the school goofing around.That day there was no time to goof around, he came to my hostel in the morning to pick PrinceEasy and me, we went to get the other guys too and then head to my place. We had to do arrangement and settings for better parole; you know what I’m talking about na.After everything was set and done, we went to the mall, to get some drinks, ice cream, chocolate and all those things that spice parties up, and of course we got condoms too… or rather they bought condoms, I didn’t because I knew I wouldn’t be getting any action.After getting all we wanted and we were about leaving, someone called me with an excitement, like she was really happy to see me, could it be Mrs. Williams? Could it really be Mrs. Williams? The woman I’ve been dyingto see for some weeks now, the woman I’ve been trying to call and has been not reachable for some weeks now, could she really be the one that just called me? But I knew that voice; it doesn’t belong to Mrs. Williams, who called me?Her sweet voice caught the attention of everybody; the way she called my name sensually vibrated some strings in my brain.
Turning back I saw that it was Lola and she was not alone (hehe) she was with Vanessa, not just with Vanessa o, Elliot was there too. Apparently he took his girlfriend and his cousin out.To Elliot, I am Lola’s boyfriend and I barely know Vanessa, Lola came towards me and hugged me tight andshe whispered to my ear “where haveyou been all these while?” (Where have I been? I’ve been up and down na, looking for Mrs. Williams? Haven’tI?) I just looked at her and smiled likeI just got out of yabaleft, we both moved towards Vanessa and her boyfriend and I greeted them, formally.My friends had already gone to wait for me in the car by this time and I didn’t drop the bag I was carrying with me, I was the one carrying the liquor. “What’s happening tonight? Where’s the party at, cause I’m sure you’re not drinking all these alone” Lola asked me.What’s happening tonight? For few seconds I thought of what to say, so I said “You know King Solomon yeah?” I knew she doesn’t know King Solomon, she doesn’t even know anyof my friends but she acted along, she said “yes now”. So I continued talking, I told her it was King Solomon’s birthday and we are having a small party at my place laterin the night, “will you guys love to come?” I threw the question in the air.It was after inviting them I just realised what I just did, did I just invite my Ex and her Boyfriend, and her friend to my place for a birthday party that will not be holding? As I threw this question in the air I saw life in the eyes of Vanessa, I knew she’d want to come to my place, alsoLola too I could tell she wanted to scream yes right away, but Elliot was just indifferent.He said “if your girlfriend would be going I could come with my Love too” As he said this, Vanessa gave him one of a kind look, like please don’t come with us o, we don’t want you. Lola said she’d definitely come, so they are all going to come.Facing Lola I said “Ok baby, make sure you come with them tonight, I’d be expecting you. I really have to go now, my friends must have been waiting for me, we have a lot of preparations to do” I hugged Lola and waved at Vanessa and her Boo then I left.When I was going to meet my friendsin the car, I was just thinking “Nigga you’ve fucked up” Did I fuck up? But you know sometimes you just flow with whatever and you just find yourself saying what you shouldn’t say. I already said it, so I better start making plans on how I wouldn’t be fucked up later in the day.Before I entered the car I remembered I didn’t buy condom because I thought I wouldn’t be getting any action later in the night, but now that Almighty Lola is comingI might be getting more than action, should I go get condom? No jhur I’ll collect from someone.When I entered the car I told my friends what I had said, I told them I invited Vanessa, Her Boyfriend and Lola to come for a birthday party at my place, my Niggas are the surest, there and then they said we should kuku turn it to a birthday party and we should arrange for weed cake on our way back to my place.
King Solomon said “God knows I needed to do my birthday again because didn’t have enough fun on my birthday, exam spoilt it” His last birthday came during exams so we couldn’t turn up very well.We got all we needed, we set the house, for that night I turned my house to a club even Quilox wouldn’t compete, my Dad would be so proud of me if he sees the wonders I did with his sitting room.
My parents didn’t say when they will be back but I felt they would call me before they come and if they suddenly show up, RIP to me.When it was around 6’O Clock in the evening, PrinceEasy went back to school to get his girlfriend, my other guys too left to prepare and bring in their babes, since we turned the gathering to a birthday party, I called my DJ friend to come help us with music, we invited many other guys and babes too.Around 8p.m my house was already filled, Vanessa and friends were not around yet, but Prince and Sandra was there (since the gathering was tagged Solomon’s birthday, Sandra was cool with everything happening, she wasn’t just drinking, but She will still eat the cake, LOL), Solomon too (the sudden birthday boy) was with his guys and babes, my other guys too, were kicking things.
We were all having fun, disturbing theneighbourhood; I knew they would report to my parents when they cameback, all those streets gossipers, isn’t that what they do best. They would be like while you were away, your Son turned the whole street upside down, he was playing sound so loud the heavens could hear, you know how those street gossipers do na. All those big aunties in the neighbourhood that won’t face their own life.Vanessa has been to my place countless times, but Lola hasn’t, howshe passed the description to Lola I don’t know, I just know I saw Lola, Elliot and Vanessa. Before they cameI was not really in the party mood, I was just dulling but somehow immediately I saw them, my mood was lifted.They were still looking around, trying to find me or someone they know, I moved towards them, “Hey Guys, glad you made it!” immediately Lola saw me she, she hugged me tight and made me feel her airbags “Hey Baby, I see you’re having fun” because of party spirit, I hugged Vanessa too and gave Elliot the Niggas hug too. (You know sometimes when you see some people you don’t usually talk to in some places you just got to flow like you’ve been talking for years).
The party was on, Niggas were balling, babes were bubbling, and theAlleged Birthday Boy cut the cake, girls love cake yeah? They love to eatplenty of it, we let them eat it, we let them enjoy. We know minutes later they would all be fucked up.Vanessa knew the kind of guys I roll with, she knew there would be something in the cake but she ate it regardless. Like 30 minutes later, the atmosphere changed, the party was lit, and my house was filled with wasted youths.I was just sitting in the kitchen with Lola; we were talking and all that, getting along.
Elliot came and told ushe wants to start going, he asked if I’d be able to drop his babes (girlfriend and cousin) back to their place. “Vanessa said she still wants to hang around for a while, make sure you look after her” he said that facing Lola.I walked Elliot to the gate, when I sawthe car he brought I was oppressed, he must be OBO. “you stay in Biobaku yeah?” he asked me, “I think I’ve seen you in the hostel once or twice”. Wait, he stays in Biobaku too?“Yeah I stay in Biobaku, what about you?” He said yes. I asked for his room number and told him I’d come check him when I get back to school.“Alright Bro, later” he entered his car and zoomed off.I went back inside, Vanessa was withLola already, as I was moving towards them King Solomon came tomeet me and said he’d love to talk to Lola, I told him no problem but I knewLola wanted to spend time with me, Solomon was already tipsy, and the drunker he gets the funkier he becomes. We went to meet the babes, I introduced him, Vanessa knows him already, they greeted and all that. He was talking to Lola when Vanessa whispered to my ear, “I’m going to your room, come and meet me there”She left; Lola didn’t notice that, King Solomon was all over her already. As I was going to my room to meet Vanessa, I saw Sandra and PrinceEasy in one corner dancing, Sandra has eaten the cake, she was probably fucked up at that moment, I saw red cup with her too… she must have been drinking! Is our Dear SisterSandra backsliding? Because the way she was twerking on him made me remember our dear old Sandra, the party animal, her dance moves would freeze any dance floor. Is she picking up old attitudes? But wait sef,what’s my business? Who am I to judge?“How far Nigga, I need gloves” I said to one of my niggas, he gave me and said “Bad Guy” I said oshey and I left.As I entered the room, Vanessa was sitting on my chair, she was seated like “see ehn, we are not doing anything today, we are just talking” I didn’t mind. I asked her wassup, “Why have you been avoiding me for weeks now? You hardly pick my calls and when you pick you’d be forming busy”I’m sorry babe, I’ve been busy lookingfor my Cougar, that was what I thought, I was about to say something when my phone rang, I told her to excuse me then I checked who was calling, it was an unknown number, I thought it was probably one of those guys trying to get locatemy place, you know we Lagos boys don’t want to hear turn up is happening somewhere (Lagos Boys love for turn up is probably the truestlove you can see in this generation).“Hello” I said with a very thick voice, the voice I heard on the other line was definitely Mrs. Williams voice “Hello” as I heard that my heart began to race rapidly, I was a little bittipsy before but my eyes cleared immediately, forgetting Vanessa was in front of me I said “Hello, is that Mrs. Williams?”“Yes, It is. How are you?” Wow! Finally!!! Mrs. Williams called me, I knew we had to talk, so I excused Vanessa and left the room, went to a quiet place, on my way to the place I saw some people doing stuff, I’d need to sanctify the whole house after everything.“I am fine Ma, How are you too? I’ve been trying to reach you for weeks now, your number has been switchedoff, I even called back that day we were supposed to see” I had more to say but I had to let her talk too so I stopped there, she said “I knew you called and I knew my husband picked, that call actually caused me alot and it got me in trouble” My call got her in trouble? But I pretended to be hausa and she didn’t save my number, how did it spoil things?“I don’t really understand what you’retalking about, how did I get you in trouble?” She said she couldn’t start talking on the phone, she asked for where I was and she also asked if I was in school, I told her I was at home. “After today, I might not be able to call you again for a long time, and you won’t be able to reach me because this number won’t be reachable” she said. Hearing that made my legs weak, what’s going on with Mrs. Williams? Why is she talking like someone in bondage? With the way she was talking I could sense everything was not going smooth with her.“I hope everything is fine? I hope you’re alright?” I was really bothered at that point, and that she said I might not be able to talk to her after that call was too much for me to dealwith. She told me we need to see andtalk, that she has a lot of things she needed to tell and that she was going through a lot.“Where are you?” I didn’t know when that question dropped or why I asked, I just knew that was what dropped from my mouth. She told meshe was at work and she’d be going home soon, she also added that she thought she’d see me when coming back from work, as I heard that I just said “we can still see actually because I want to see you too”I was not lying; with the way she was talking I really wanted to see her rightaway. We talked and planned on how to see that night.
During discussion we found out she could drive throughmy street to her house, so the plan was for her to call me when she gets to my street.I was ready to leave Vanessa, Lola, the booze, the fun happening in my house and go to meet Mrs. Williams whenever she calls me, I just felt I had to see her that night and since she said she has things to tell me, I couldn’t wait a minute more to see her.After the call, I went back to my roomand the door was locked, did Vanessa lock me outside? I knocked the door, no one answered. I knockedagain, then Solomon answered like he was in the middle of something, he might be in the middle of someone’s thigh because in less than 1seconds he said “Na Solomon, na Solomon dey inside, I dey with person” he hasn’t talked that fast before.The last girl I saw with Solomon was Lola; could he be in the room with Lola? I was just thinking, well he might be, who knows? Lola might be the type of babe that rides on any cute guy’s bike. I was going to the sitting room when I saw Vanessa, when I saw her I took a deep breath because she was with Lola, the two of them were not really grooving… they were just busy curving niggas that approach them.When I was going to meet them I noticed that PrinceEasy and his girlfriend was not where I saw them when I was going into my room, havethey disappeared? Or gone to find a room too? PrinceEasy will gist us in the next morning.I went to meet my babes, Vanessa and Lola, they were not catching fun. I knew they both came for me but I was too unstable to be with them.
“Who is Mrs. Williams?” Vanessa asked me, “oh Mrs. Williams? She’s my neighbour jare, she said I am disturbing and she’d report me to my Parent when they come back, I’d have to go and see her soon sef”I faced Lola, “Baby, hope you’re having fun?” she smiled briskly, “No Dear, I just want to dance right now, and I’ve not seen anyone worth dancing with” with all these guys dancing around the house? No one to dance with, I just said “oya let’s come and dance, come and show mewhat you got” she looked at me and said “I’ll just finish you here” I laughed out loud and I grabbed her hand and took her to where everybody’s focus was.
We started dancing, for the first few minutes, we were still doing “shy shy” but then the DJ changed the song **eyin omo wobe** you know you cannot hear “eyin omo wobe” and still keep cool, she was backing me before, she was putting her heavybehind on me before but as she heard “eyin omo wobe” she gave me my space, she moved forward and she faced me, with the way she killedthe Shakiti Bobo dance you can tell Lola is truly Daughter of Wobe.She killed the shakiti bobo dance andacted like she passed the current to me, she paused with one of her legs hanging in the air (you know the way you hang your leg when dancing shakiti bobo na, just like that, with her shoulder positioning in the bobo manner and her hands too) and I started dancing it too, well my shakitibobo is not that bad, I tried too.By this time everybody stopped dancing, they were watching Lola and I murder the floor, we kept dancing and dancing, I was getting the tired when the DJ decided to drop ‘Ukwu’ by Timaya, Lola’s ass must have inspired him to drop that song, as Lola heard this song she changed it for me, damn, she really knows how to throw her ass around, with the way she was handling her ukwu I’m sure every other guys there would wish they were the one dancing with her.
We were still murdering the dance floor and got everybody watching when I noticed my phone was vibrating in my pocket, Mrs. Williams must be calling, but I couldn’t just stop dancing, that was what I thought, but the phone kept ringing then I remembered she said I might not be able to reach her again and I remembered how she was talking, I had to stop dancing and rush outside.Before getting outside the phone hadstopped ringing, I called back, stupid network the call didn’t go through again. Few seconds my phone rang, Idid not even chill small, I picked it immediately. I was really sweating profusely, I was panting too.
That Lola girl wanted to kill me.Mrs. Williams said she was around my street, I started walking down my street and I told her to drive down. I was walking down the street when some of my street guys saw me and asked what was happening in my place, I told them my friend was celebrating his celebrating his birthday, one of them asked me “are there unilag babes there too?” I told them yes but since I was going somewhere I didn’t just want to stand there and be talking to them, so I just told them they could go and catch fun too and I left them.I kept walking, almost at the junction and I’ve not seen Mrs. Williams’s car?I called her again asked where she was, we were still talking on phone when I saw her car, blithely and unknowingly I shouted “I’ve seen you!” seeing her car was like me seeing a real treasure, you should have seen the smile on my face when I saw her car, it was unparalleled. Really it was. So finally, I’m seeing Mrs. Williams again, my heart just started beating fast for reasons I couldn’t explain.You know I’ve waited so long for that moment, so much anticipation, so much expectation, I became nervous,maybe it was a little bit but I was. But I had to keep cool and calm. The closer her car moved towards me thehigher my heart beat increased.Finally, she parked beside me, I remembered that night I first saw her,that was how she parked beside me too.
I opened the door and hopped in. The A/C inside her car calmed my nerves, her beautiful face relaxed my brain, that I was around her again made me feel whole“Good Evening Mrs. Williams” the look on her was not as bright as I thought it would be, she was dull, thefirst time I saw her she was radiant, but now she was looking like she hasbeen crying all day. With the way she talking over the phone and the way she was looking I knew something was wrong with her, but with everything she was still beautiful, she didn’t even wear make-up.
“Mrs. Williams hope all is well?” She didn’t answer that, instead she greeted me, asked how I have been, ifschool has really been going well, I answered all she asked me instantly, so I could ask all the questions I want to ask her too, all the questions I had prepare for her.While we were talking, I perceived alcohol smelling in her car, even fromher mouth, her eyes were not totally opened like she was tipsy or drunk. Has Mrs. Williams been drinking? Or Iwas the one with bad nostril? (She has been drinking actually and you’ll get to know why at the end of this episode.)After I answered all she wanted to know about me, I asked how she was, and why her number has not been going through. She said “since the day you called me things has not really been going well in my house, my husband thinks I’m cheating on him with a Young Man and he’s very insecure when it comes to me”Why will he think she’s cheating on him with a young man? I didn’t even say anything when I called her; I acted like it was a wrong number I called. “I actually called but I pretended like I called a wrong number” trying to be funny I added “I even acted like an aboki guy that called a wrong number”.
The joke didn’t work as she said “that was where you made a mistake, your name was showing on my phone, so when you acted like you called the wrong number when you called me made him suspicious” she added “I saved your number as ‘Young Man’ ”I actually thought forming I called a wrong number was the smartest thing to do, I didn’t think it through, I didn’t think about the possibilities of she saving my number, and it was that her husband that confused me, when he picked up the phone he asked who was on the line, so I assumed my number was not saved on the phone, he must have thought “who is this young man calling my wife”. His wife is pretty hot though, I don’t blame him if he’s too possessive, or insecure.Knowing that I caused her trouble made me feel terrible, I didn’t even know what to say next, will I say “sorry I called you” or “sorry I acted like I called the wrong number” or “sorry I put you in trouble”. I was just looking like a child caught while trying to steal meat.I wanted to know how everything went down that night, so I said “wow so he thought you were cheating on him because you had my number and I acted like I called a wrong number, hope you were able to explain to him it was not what he thought”She looked at me, her eyes were moist and red… she must have been going through a lot.
With her voice breaking like she’d soon cry she said “The kind of man I’m living with doesn’t listen, he just acts irrationally, I was trying to explain to him when he slapped me” as I heard “slap” I shouted Jesus! (Ladies, if youwere Mrs. Williams how would you explain what happened to your husband? Guys, if you were Mr. Williams how would you handle the situation?)How on earth can a man slap a woman that beautiful? I didn’t want to believe Mrs. Williams is married to a man that beats her; to me she was too much of an Angel to be experiencing domestic violence. A woman like that deserves everything in her matrimony, I don’t really know much about her but from the little I could deduce, she’s what every Man prays for.
How will you have such a jewel and not cherish it?She continued talking, with the way she was talking I knew she needed someone to talk to, because she just kept on telling me stories, she told me her husband beats her a lot and he also cheats on her, she also told me that is why she wanted to divorcehim, according to her, her relatives don’t interfere in her matrimony anymore because they’ve asked her to leave the man since but she was putting up with whatever he was taking her through because she loves him. “He’s the only man I’ve been with all my life that’s why he treats me as he likes, I can only stay out this late tonight because he travelled, if he was around and I’m not at home by 7p.m he will nearly killme” She told me she never for once cheated on him, she has never been with any other man except him, because he met her while she was a teenager, so he has been her first and only. (a Woman like that should be given the world)It was after she told me all she was going through I understood why she said she might be getting divorced soon in Episode 1. If I was to advise her, I’d tell her to divorce immediately, she deserves way more than that. She deserves happiness and love, that she was not happy broke me to pieces.I was too sad to say soothing words, I just gave her the “you know sometimes bad things happen to good people” speech and I commiserated with her. I was lookingat her with so much sympathy, she looked at me and smile, she said “there’s something about the way you look at me”As she said this, she opened her dashboard and brought out the alcohol she was drinking, it was Hennessy and she gulped it, I knew she was drinking because of her domestic problem not for fun because she didn’t even offer me. She continued talking, “I Love the way you look at me, I love the way it makes me feel, it makes me feel beautiful”WOW! Just looking at her makes her feel beautiful, normally I’m shy but when she said that I became shyer, but still I couldn’t keep my eyes of her. What she was going through haseaten her up emotionally, how can you feel beautiful just by the way someone looks at you.She doesn’t realize the Queen she is inside, she doesn’t realize how much of a treasure she is, her marital life has ruined all her inner beauty, and she now feels empty. I looked at her and tried to tell her how beautiful shewas, I tried to make her know how much of a Jewel she was, trying to tell a woman older than you she’s hotand not sounding rude was hard though, I had to carefully pick my words.Later that night Mrs. Williams started behaving somehow, she started talking like she was drunk too.
The Hennessy had starting working in herbloodstream, and it was getting late already, I should be going back to myplace, she didn’t seem like she wanted to leave anytime soon, as she was just blabbing and I was trying to flow along. (She was really messed up, she was sad and heartbroken, she was dying for anything to soothe her, she has beenwounded by love, and she needed to be healed very badly. She was thirsty and hungry, only affections could fill her.) The Question is can I soothe her? Can I make her feel better? The word’s I say… can they help?A party is going on at my place, I should be going back now, and I’ll still take Vanessa and Lola back to their hostel that night. When I told her I needed to be on my way, she said some funny things that made me confirm she was really drunk, I loved what she said but I wished she said it in her right mind.She offered to drive me to my house then she’d go from there. As she wasdriving down my street I knew allowing her to drive home alone is very dangerous, she might just end up crashing. As she was driving me home something happened, something very very bad! I wish I could tell you now but you will know in the next episode! Later Guys!
