In the middle of their ecstasy Nonso stopped Chioma,

 

“What’s wrong?” She asked.

 

“I can’t do this, I’m sorry,” he said going down from the bed.

 

“What! What’s wrong with you!” She shouted.

 

“Nothing is wrong with me, I just said I can’t do this,” Nonso said putting on his clothes while Chioma sat looking at him with her mouth open.

 

“You’re leaving?” She asked.

 

“I have to, I’ll see you tomorrow, Nonso said and left.

 

“sh*t!” Chioma shouted throwing the pillows in anger.

“Hey, what’s that face for?” Frank asked when he met with them.

 

“Seriously I don’t know what’s happening to me, I feel like……. Oh no I can’t explain,” Nonso replied.

 

“Is it about Chioma again?” Frank asked.

 

“No, someone else. Few minutes ago I was about making love with Chioma, but then she came into my head and I felt like I was about cheating on her,” Nonso said.

 

“Who?” The guys asked at once.

 

‘Fummi, the girl Chioma acted rudely there at the eatery, remember?” Nonso asked and the guys looked at themselves.

 

“You must be joking right? That’s a lowly and a poor Yoruba girl you are talking about here,” Frank said.

 

“So what? She’s the one I love and I can’t help it,” Nonso said.

 

“You are a prince Nonso and it is not expected you…”

 

“I don’t need this prince title! Can someone just rip it off from me? Do you know how I feel now? First time in my life I’ve get to meet someone I feel so relaxed and happy with. She doesn’t nag and we can talk for hours without getting tired. There’s this bond between us that I feel we have met somewhere before, she’s the one I want and I don’t bloody care the tribe she hails from,” Nonso said.

 

“What about Chioma? You told me she broke up with you but then you spent the night texting and calling her. You almost made love to her today and now you’re talking about another girl? Are you okay?” Festus asked.

 

“We are not married dude are we? Chioma is who our family wants but Fummi is who Nonso needs, and I am tired of pleasing my family!” Nonso shouted.

 

“Then let her go, set her free!” Festus shouted and stormed out of the place.

 

“What’s wrong with him?” Nonso asked.

 

“He’s just angry while I am just surprised at you. Seriously guy is this you? You gat 2 ladies already and that makes you a cheat dude,” Frank said while Nonso was just speechless looking at him.

 

Festus arrived at the Hotel where Chioma lodged and met her sitting on the floor drinking, ‘didnt I tell you to stay clear from me? Chioma asked getting up when he entered.

 

“Please stop I can help you out of this, Festus said coming near.

 

“Stop there and get out of here! What happened between us that night was a total and big mistake. i was drunk but then you came around and I thought it was Nonso, how dare you do that to me! Chioma shouted.

 

“You needed it, Nonso doesn’t care about you,” Festus said.

 

“Get out from here, you feel my heart with guilt now knowing that I’ve cheated on my Nonso!” Chioma shouted.

 

“Your Nonso? Is that why you wanted leaving the next morning? Well here is what you want to hear, Your Nonso couldn’t make love to you just because there’s a another girl in his heart. He loves her so much and he feels sleeping with his engaged babe will be cheating to the girl he loves dearly,” Festus dropped and Chioma scoffed.

 

“Wow, what a perfect framed lie to get into my legs again, you really think I will believe this crap!” Chioma shouted.

 

“You think this is a lie? Get over it girl that guy doesn’t love you. You were only a friend to him and he didn’t want anything more than that, this is just a family arrangement right? How did i get to know about this?” Festus asked and tears already gathered in Chioma eyes.

 

“Its a lie, a very big lie,” Chioma said and Festus held her.

 

“You need me Chioma, that guy doesn’t deserve you,” Festus said and kissed her immediately….

“Is that how to welcome a customer? What do you have here?” Fummi asked sitting down.

 

“If I launch you slap eh, Jumoke said and they burst out laughing.

 

“How is work jare? Any annoying customer?” Fummi asked.

 

“Annoying kwa? I will just annoy back too o I don’t have such time,” Jumoke replied.

 

“Madam abeg help me with cold sprite,” Fummi said.

“Bring 2 big plastic,” Fummi added.

 

“Okay na your money,” Jumoke said.

 

“Bring it first na haba I dey run? Where’s your oga sef let me report you, Fummi said looking around.

 

“You’re mad,” Jumoke said and left to bring the drink.

 

“Oya sit down let’s drink,” Fummi said giving her one of it when Jumoke brought it.

 

“Thats my baby! Work wait first jare,” Jumoke said sitting down smiling.

 

“Hey i know that smile, just say what you want to say else I’ll collect my drink from you,” Fummi said.

 

“How is he? Come on gist me nau, Jumoke said and Fummi smiled.

 

“You are a very nonsense girl,” Fummi replied.

 

“Yes I know, so how are you both coping?” Jumoke asked.

 

“Cool, we get to talk about so many things and its fun to be with him,” Fummi said.

 

“Tell me something baby!” Jumoke shouted.

 

“Ah keep your voice low na, Fummi pleaded.

 

“Leave me abeg, so what do you think of him? Jumoke asked and winked.

 

“I know where you are going to madam so stop it. In fact i came to say hello, bye bye,” Fummi said getting up.

 

“For your mind you don escape o, we will continue at home, Jumoke said.

 

“I will travel,” Fummi said.
