Konigba at this hour? This dude was back with his awkward thinking and all. I need small shayo abi the woman don pack comot?“ “ Wo you go gist me plenty, abeg make we go konigba. Chei,I know say na Baba Landlord go use him hand kill himself, hope say he still dey alive sha?“ Na Aso rock we dey call the place sef”.īlakky bursted out laughing…I let a grin show.
“ Yes o, na them full those rooms wey dey near the well. “ Wait o, you mean say Oloshos don get permanent stay for this house?“, he asked in shock. She and Mimi fight, na only Mimi dey here now but she don get her own squad“ “ Ohh, Francisca don pack comot for here since. Same old blakky, if not for his height.he was 6ft plus,he’d be looking like some samba football. He hadn’t changed much except for his stomach which had started off as another planet of its own. “ How Mimi and that her friend o? Dem still carry head enter the Olosho business?“, He asked as he was dropping his backpack in a corner and taking off his socks. “ Guy, I no even know me sef just d e y enter house, be like say everybody comot sha“ “ Haaa yes Boka, see as compound empty na at just ten o clock“ “ Boka“, I reminded him, Blakky always took his time in taunting Boka about anything and everything. “ Omo, where everybody? Bello and Benji nko and wetin be that short igbo boy name sef? Wey him name sound like gun?“ He was one of the first tenants of the house, actually he and I had moved in at about the same time and since I considered myself as one of the first.he also was. “ Chei I don miss all of una oo”!!, he continued.Īt this I smiled, truth is I have missed the idiot pretty much. “ Haaa, you sef don dey sabi talk oo“, he bursted out laughing. “ I think say that Ibadan wey you go, sense go abide with you ni but it seems I’m wrong“. “ Shey you see ghost ni? Abi you no sabi greet“…Fool wasn’t even around for five minutes and his mouth was doing its usual job once more.
Wetin carry Blakky come back lagos…wasn’t he already comfortable and all in Ibadan? I sat up properly and continued to stay at him unsure of how to react. I shook my head and headed to the bathroom. I stood up and look towards the bed to see Yemisi sleeping naked I guess considering her upper body was naked and a blanket was covering her lower half. I don’t know how long it was that I closed my eyes for or when the light left my face but when I opened them, the room was all dark and quiet. I gladly closed my eyes considering that judgment day wouldn’t pay me considering all that had happened last night. “ Just take her phone, make we dey go“, then to me, “ Oya close your eyes, if you open am before we comot I go slap your soul teleport to judgment day“ “ No bother!“, His reply sounded pretty angry and right now I couldn’t tell if it was me he was mad at or his partner having confirmed now that they were just two in the room. “ Make we search her, she fit carry pass am“.the voice with my jean again. I knew if I didn’t get to a bathroom soon, I was going to pass out. I wasn’t concerned with the criticism at the moment, I was more interested in the blood I could feel trickling down my nostrils.
“ So na only two fifty you get for hand na im you carry olosho come hotel“ “ You serious?!” And without waiting for confirmation, another slap hit me and I went to ground. “ I don see the phone, na two fifty the idiot get for wallet sha“., came the voice that had gone for my jean. Where was she? Was she ok? I couldn’t turn my face to look up at the bed for the fear of been hit with another slap. There must be three guys in the room, I couldn’t tell…my brain was in a maze but then I remembered Yemisi. The light stayed on my face and all I could hear was movement around the room. Something kept ticking in my head like some sort of time bomb about to go off. My phone? Yes my phone, where the hell had I dropped it? Oo it was in my jean pocket…but what did they want with my phone? I don’t know and I don’t think I care.I just pointed to where my jean lay on the floor. “ Please don’t“, I don’t know where I found the strength to speak up.Īpparently my plea was answered because I didn’t feel a thing. “ Slap am again“, a different voice this time.
