Chapter 46

Alma.

“Excuse me?” I asked Clifford.

“I can’t watch my dancer sleep on the chair overnight, if you develop a wrong stature as a result of sleeping incovinently, folks would think it was my fault.” He said.

“What if I stretched my body again?” I asked.

“You won’t, come and sleep.”He said and I stood.

I stood at the far edge of the bed and backed him. ” Good night.”

He did not respond until I slept off, I would the following morning and he was the first I saw, he was on the couch pressing his phone.

I sat upright on the bed, I went to the bathroom to clean up and before I came back, I saw coffee and noodles on the bed.

“How…who brought this here?” I asked, with my face directed at Clifford but his face was only directed to his phone. As if I wasn’t speaking.

I walked to the food and sat, it was very early in the morning and… I wasn’t found of eating so early.

“What if it is poisoned.” I said intentionally so Clifdord could react.

“Huh! Very ungrateful of you. You saying I poision the food? ” He asked.

“Not really, I’m saying whoever prepared this must have poisoned it.” I said.

“My cooks are not evil.” He said.

“Wow! you really trust your cook that much. I’m not eating the food, though.” I said.

“Why?” He asked as if he cared.

“How about you, won’t you eat?” I asked.

“Who are you to ask me if I’ve eaten, only my girlfriend can ask such. Don’t ever in your entire life ask me such question, don’t care about me, don’t think I’m close to you in your head. I hate you, get that into your head and heart.” He said.

“Okay, sir but why haven’t you eaten? ” I asked and he placed the phone he was operating on the table, he folded his arms in surprise. “Talking of girlfriend, why did you not have one? Oh! I get… you are imposent.”

He stood, took a pillow and threw it at me angrily.

“Aww….so sweet.” I caught the pillow and threw it back at him, he didn’t try to get the pillow, the pillow hit his Tommy and fell to the floor.

“You are so silly, I don’t have a girlfriend cause I chose not to. I’m focused on my academics and my career.” He said.

“If you decide to have a girlfriend, I’m here, though.” I said and looked away with a smirk on my lips.

He watched me in terror, “This one has finally gone out of her mind.”

I laughed, “I won’t eat unless you come to taste it to prove that it is not a poison.”

He stood at once and came to the food before he took the cutlery in an attempt to taste it, I withdrew the food away from him.

“Not that way, I’ll feed you.” I said and watched him.
