I fell back on my bed with a deep sigh of relieve that my friend is working things out for me. Few minutes later, I got a call from my manager
ME: hello sir
MANAGER: how are you?
ME: I’m fine sir
MANAGER: ehn ehn onihaxy!!
ME: sir,

ME: hope there is no problem sir?
MANAGER: not really, just that I wanted to obtain a form somewhere on monday, and its outside ekiti state
ME: ok sir
MANAGER: so please, take charge of the activities of the company
ME: ok sir
MANAGER: and make sure you are vigilant about those boys in the packaging section, they always steal bags of water to sell.
ME: ok sir.
MANAGER: I hope the spare key of my office is still with you?
ME: yes sir.
MANAGER: ok, take good care of the factory, I have informed the chairman that I won’t be around.
ME: ok sir. I wish you safe journey sir.
MANAGER: alright bye
It was saturday morning. I have sent my detailed address to lolade in the morning and she replied me that she would be coming by 11am. In the speed of light, I removed all the cobwebs in the room, I changed my bedspread, I placed a pack of condom under my mattress incase of incasity. I removed the chairs in my room and kept it in my neighbour’s room so that she would be able to sit on the bed when she arrives. I shuffled my photo album and removed the pictures containing me and ladies in a romantic posture, I went outside to buy 3 bottles of malt, 2 digestive biscuit, 50naira oranges, 3 apples and filled them in my fridge. I sprayed the room with air – freshener and I went to the filling station to purchase a 3 litres of petrol and filled my “I better pass my neighbour” small generator. I removed the dusts on my electronics and everywhere was neat and looking nice.
On a good day, I used to clean up my room once in a month and yet, it won’t be sparkling as the way it is now. When I was through, I went out to make printouts of her new CV because I made only one copy the previous day.
At 11am, lolade called to inform me that she was on her way. On hearing this, I switched on my generator and also my DVD player and slot in a romantic nollywood movie.
Few minutes later, I got a missed call from lolade, I called her back and she informed me that she was standing infront of my house. I wore my 3 quarters and a white round neck top and I went out to see her.
On getting to the front of my house, I saw lolade standing at the opposite side of the road. She was putting on a popular short gown with white and black stripe. That type of gown that is usually fitted to the body and brings out the real shape of the a$$.
Her hair was loosed and packed with rubber band. She smiled at me as I waved at her. Lolade crossed over from the opposite side and came to where I was. She knelt down a little and said “good morning sir”. “How are you” I replied her and she said “fine sir”. We entered into my room together.
ME: have your seat dear
LOLADE: **sat on the edge of the bed*** thank you sir
ME: you are looking more gorgeous and prettier than the last time I saw you
LOLADE: ***blushing** thank you sir
ME: what can I offer you?
LOLADE: anything sir
ME: hmm. Anything?, then let me give you weed then
LOLADE: **laughs** so you smoke weed?
ME: just kidding, don’t you know that I’m a bishop?
LOLADE: loool. Bishop of which diocese?
Lolade and I continued to crack jokes as I opened my mini fridge and offered her maltonic and apples which I purchased before her arrival. We were flowing along as if we have met each other long time ago.
LOLADE: thanks so much sir for your help concerning the job. I needed the job badly
ME: really?, why badly?
LOLADE: you won’t understand sir
ME: then make me understand. I actually assisted you because I’m interest in knowing you, so I’m listening.
LOLADE: hmmmmmm, its a long story sir
ME: summarise it for me
LOLADE: ok, actually, I finished my secondary school 2 years ago
ME: **cuts in** yeah, I saw that on the form you submitted
LOLADE: so immediately after that, I lost my dad
ME: eyah, I’m so sorry about that.
LOLADE: thank you sir. And my mum cannot finance my academic to tertiary institution because she is a petty trader.
ME: eyah. What about your elder brothers and sisters?
LOLADE: I’m the first born. But I have 2 younger brothers.
ME: eyah.
LOLADE: thanks sir. So that’s why I wanted a job which I can save little money out of it to obtain jamb and finance my studies to some extent. And also sustain myself with the rest so as to ease the burden on my mum.
ME: that’s a nice idea. But do you know how much you will be earning before talking about savings?
LOLADE: honestly, I don’t know, but I just know that I will be getting paid.
ME: well, its a small money.
LOLADE: how much sir?
ME: just 10k
LOLADE: 10k?, its ok sir. I so much appreciate it. I’m grateful sir.
Me: you are welcome, what about your boyfriend?, is he not capable of financing your education?
LOLADE: boyfriend kee?. Mtchew, which guy is ready to be committed this days?, all they want to do is to have sex and go.
ME: so you are telling me now that you don’t have a boyfriend?
LOLADE: what do I want to do with it?. I want to focus on my life for now.
ME: “oluwaseun oooo”. Thank God.
LOLADE: why saying so sir?.
ME: because I won’t be having competitor and rivals
LOLADE: I don’t understand sir
ME: **moved closer***. Lolade, I know this is too early, but its a burden on my heart. I like you right from the first day I set my eyes on you, I got home and I dreamt of you all night. Infact, I have never stopped thinking about you since then,. To be sincere, I went through stress to convince my manager to hire you out of the all the applicants. I did all this because I love you…………………. “Format continues”
LOLADE: but you are just knowing me, how can you claim to love me sir? And don’t you think I’m young enough to be your younger sister?
ME: ***held her hand**** lolade, don’t say so please. You are hurting me and my heart is bleeding because of what you just said. I seriously love you, I mean it.
LOLADE: so what about the person you are dating presently?
ME: I swear to God. I don’t have a girlfriend.
LOLADE: and why?
ME: because my heart was waiting to meet you for the past 2 years since I broke up with my ex. My spirit chose you on first sight.
LOLADE: so is it because of the job, is that why you want to use the opportunity to use me?.
ME: lolade, I swear to God, my love for you is real and genuine. If only you can dissect and open my heart, only then will you know how much I love you.
LOLADE: I’m so sorry sir, I’m not interested, if its about your job, you can keep it sir.
ME: lolade, why are you talking like this now?
LOLADE: I mean it. ***stands up and about to walk out****
ME: ok, have the copy of your CV, you don’t have to reject the job. I knew how far I went to secure it for you.
***i turned to the opposite side and stared at the space with my eyeballs wide opened, few seconds later, my eyeballs were soaked and fake tears was dropping.
LOLADE: thank you, let me get going
ME: **faint voice** ok, let me see you off
LOLADE: ***noticed my voice and looked at my eyes***. Don’t tell me you are crying. Has it gotten to this stage?
ME: lolade, you won’t understand
LOLADE: then make me understand sir
ME: **still in faint voice*** its been over two years that I stayed out of love since I broke up with my ex. Now that I’m drown in your love, I’m been denied and rejected.
LOLADE: **smiled and wiped my tears**. Ok, what do you want from me?
ME: I want your love. I love you, I want you to love me.
LOLADE: well, the truth is that I like you too. You appeared to be kind and loving. But don’t you think I’m too young?, I’m a school cert holder?, and I need to forge ahead to tertiary institution before thinking of love?
ME: I knew all these before asking you out. I love you and that’s all. Love over sees all things.
LOLADE: are you sure of what you are saying?
ME: yes, I’m so sure
LOLADE: ok, I heard you. Give me time, let me think about it. Is that ok by you?.
ME: ****smiled****,
LOLADE: that’s better, you look good in that smile
Me: thanks dear. When will you get back to me?
LOLADE: sebi we would see on monday?
ME: you mean you will give me a feedback on monday?
LOLADE: don’t know yet. When I think it through, I will let you know,
ME: ok dear. Thanks my love.
LOLADE: **smiled** I need to start going now. I have some house chores to do at home.
Me: should I follow you home?.
LOLADE: to do what?
ME: to meet my inlaws off cos
LOLADE: ***laughs*** honestly, you are so funny and fun to be with. I so much enjoyed your company.
ME: thanks dear
LOLADE: by the way, what’s your name?
ME: onihaxy
LOLADE: so let me call you uncle onihaxy.
ME: no, call me by my name.
LOLADE: no, I can’t, how do you want people at work to see it?. That’s bad.
ME: na you sabi
LOLADE: come and see me off abeg.
I walked along with her till we reach the door, she was about to open the door when I pulled her back, I held her hand with one hand and held her waist wit the other, I stared straight into her eyes and she did the same, our heads began to get close until my lips located hers. My eyes was closed immediately as we began to kiss. I was expecting a resistance but none came. Instead, I felt a hand on my neck as she held my head and sucked my lips as she gave me the kiss of life.
She removed her mouth from mine and said “stop it”, its ok, let me be going.
ME: ok dear, I’m sorry
LOLADE: ***opened the door **its okay, no problem, you sha succeeded in kissing me. Its somehow strange sha.
ME: **smiled as I closed the door from outside*** strange as how?
LOLADE: ***chuckle** I have never hugged any guy on a first date, let alone kissing. How did you really do it?
ME: ***stopped at the main entrance of our compound and held her two hands****, its simply the power of love.
LOLADE: I don’t understand
ME: its just the chemistry of the heart you know. When your heart meets someone it chose to love. The chemistry just react naturally without laws.
LOLADE: **laughs*** you are so funny, what course did you studied at school?
ME: chemistry. Why did you ask?
LOLADE: I thought as much,
ME: how?
LOLADE: with the way you were talking about chemistry and reactions.
ME: ****laughed*******
LOLADE: ****laughed too****
ME: ****** stared into her eyes once more***** my lolybabe.
LOLADE: what is that?
ME: please, give me a yes answer so that my mind would be at rest.
LOLADE: ***placed her hand on my chest*****, Mr loverboy, calm down and give me time to think over it
ME: **smiled***. Ok.
I waved at bike passing by and it stopped. I slipped 1k into lolade’s hands and she smiled and said “thank you”.
I returned inside and the bottom side of my tummy began to pain me seriously.
“Is like this girl is a virgin oooo, chaiiii
