Chapter 12
"Romoke come, who is your boyfriend?" My brother, Jibade asked me as we ate in Salado, one of the restaurants in school. I looked at him. He was more handsome now, although darker in complexion. He looked like one of those abokis. "I don’t have a boyfriend. Do you have one for me?" I asked him. "Are you kidding? You're single? I don’t believe that. Look at you now, you've changed a whole lot. You've even upgraded to an iPhone7. you look happy. Its only a man that can be behind all this, so stop lying." he said cheerfully and I laughed. "Abeg make I hear word, guy. I'm single I don’t have a boyfriend. My female friend got me the iPhone for my birthday 2weeks ago, so I don’t know what you're talking about." I said. "Haba! Female friend? For real? Tell me more. Is she Buhari's daughter? Wey she dey dash person iPhone7 for birthday. She go fit buy car for her boyfriend be that. Come, link me up with this your friend now." He begged. "Ode. Yeah she's boxed up sha. She's a rich kid, and no I'm not linking you up with her. Let's talk about something else. Come you don fine o, make I no lie. You're just darker sha but you fine. All those girls for Kastina go wan die" I teased. "You can say that again. You think its easy? I be rich aboki for there o. See come now Romoke do well. Give me your friend's contact now I'll treat her right. Make I even see her picture I know say she go fine well well. Make we relate." "Its like this one is not okay. All those girls you have in the north nkor? They never do you? Pick one of them and get serious with her. I cant give you my friend." I said in disgust. "Calm down Romoke, all those girls are just for fun. No serious stuff. But just show me your friend's picture I just might fall in love with her, you never can tell." He pleaded seriously. "My friend, leave me alone. Please eat fast I need to go back to the hostel to rest abeg" I said. "Its not fair o, no wahala sha its cool. That reminds me, have you met that Sewa's boyfriend wey dey post am up and down for social media?" He asked me. "Cole? Yes I met him a couple of times. What's the problem?" "Nothing o I the guy looks impressive sha. They seem good for each other, if the guy is not a player. Sewa was gisting me about him and the guy get money well well" He replied. "Yeah he's a rich kid too and he's working class so she's covered. He loves her apparently and he dey give her money too." "Okay that's cool. I'm happy for her. You too do fast and get a boyfriend mehn you're not getting any younger." "Its like you're mad abi what kind of talk is that? You're not okay. I'm done here, I'm leaving." I said as I got up. "Wait now, are you angry ni? Mabinu I was just pulling your legs. I'm sorry my sister." He said, smiling sheepishly. I looked at him and I didn’t know what to say. This boy na fool.

"Hi darling, I'm in front of your hostel" Vanessa said as I picked up her call. "Oh okay I'd be downstairs in 5minutes." I jumped down from my bed as I put on some clothes and headed downstairs. "Hey, you didn’t tell me you were coming." I said as I got into her car. "Yeah I wanted to surprise you babe. How are you?" She asked me. "I'm fine, how are you too?" "Well I'm fine now that I've seen you. I was missing you bad so I decided to come." "Awwww I missed you too baby." I said and she smiled. "Okay so I spoke with my photographer and he says he'd like to work with you. When are you gonna be free so you can do the shoot?" She asked me. "Err maybe Friday. I have to get all the things I'd need so Friday is cool." "Okay no wahala. I'll give you some money to get the stuffs you need. How about a nude shoot? I wanna replace Melissa's picture on the wall with yours. She's probably with someone else over there. I'm with you now, not her. So your picture should be on that wall, not hers." I stared at her. "Really? Nude? Do I have to be nude? Cant you put up a normal picture of me? I don’t think I want to do a nude shoot, I'm not sure about that." I said. "Okay whatever. I'd come pick you up on Friday morning. That reminds me, who was that guy you posted on snap a few hours ago?" "What guy? Oh! That's Jibade. My brother. He came to see me and we bought me lunch." I replied. "Hmmm your brother? But you guys don’t look alike." She said. "Do we have to look alike? He's my brother for real. I don’t know why you're doubting me." "Its not like I'm doubting you baby, I just need to be sure I don’t want you messing around with any guy. They're mostly fuckboys and they have absolutely nothing to offer." She said seriously. "Yes I know. I'm not doing anything like that. Its just you and me babe. You should know that." I said as I caressed her face. "Hmmm I hope you're being truthful because if I find out you're fucking some guy, I'd be real mad." "You don’t have to worry okay? I'm not doing any guy. Trust me. What more do I want? You give me everything I need so why do I need a guy?" I said to her. "okay baby I love you very much I hope you know that. I cant bear seeing you with any guy." She said in a small voice. "Awwww I love you too, okay? I'm here. Not going anywhere." I assured her and she smiled. "okay babe I have to run now. I'm meeting some clients in an hour. I'd see you maybe tomorrow, okay?" "Okay boo. Take care of you." I said as we hugged. "I'll transfer money to you so you can get what you need for the shoot, okay? Be good." I got out of the car and she reversed and drove off. So Vanessa doesn't want me to do guys? This is serious. Its not like I want a guy's touch sef but then am I not going to get married? I'm not getting any younger like Jibade said. Sooner or later my parents would start asking me to bring a man home. Is it Vanessa I'll take home? Does she not want to get married? My younger sister has a serious boyfriend while I have a serious girlfriend. How epic. Na better wahala I dey like this. I kept thinking to myself as I went back to my room.
