knicker Chidimma wore wasn't the one
she bought for me and worse still that
the one she gave me was back at school
and so I can't bring it out as proof.
Shaa she believed me not because she
wanted to believe me but because my
explanations were interrupting her
movie. Amara iced the cake when she
came home and asked if I helped her
wash those uniforms, Chidimma had
obviously tipped her off. Chinaza had
no choice than to believe me.
Well the missed call was from my baby
bear, Chinecherem. I called her back
later in the night, after Naza was gone.
I lashed her for almost ruining my day.
She informed me that she was at my
school.
"Which my school? Do I own a
school?" I asked, totally confused.
"Baby, I'm at Unizik. I came to see
you," she said and giggled.
"Hian, so where are you now that I am
not around?" I asked assuming she was
kidding.
"At a friend's house, will you come and
see me?" she asked.
"Wait, who did you tell your people
that you came to see?"
"Chinaza naa, are you coming?"
I evaluated my pocket and found out it
could accommodate one more reckless
spending, if only my mother would pay
for the transportation. So we fixed a
date for the next day. It was a Sunday
and flexing was allowed and
Chinecherem was just the perfect girl.
"Mummy see, I need to pick that thing
up urgently and I don't think daddy
will agree to give me transport money
for me to go and come back," I
explained to my mother after service
the next day.
"And it's me that will give you my car
to go and come back naa?"
"Mummy naa, shebi I will be coming
back today," I said with a frown.
"What happened to the other small
car?" she asked.
"Mum which car, the beetle?" I asked
and she nodded. That was the old
modeled beetle, the one we call ike
mbe. Nobody has moved that car for
close to 2 years since I used it for
learning how to drive.
"Ah ah, mummy. That car? Road safety
will just tow me and the car away if
they jam me."
"You and your brother just want to
finish that car for me. Today it's
Willie, tomorrow it's you," she
complained.
"Mummy this is my first time of
touching that car, Willie has been the
only one enjoying it naa."
"Okay, I will give you money for
transport," she offered.
"No, I need car."
"Must it be car? I thought you said the
reason you needed the car was because
your father will not give you money
for transport?" she asked.
"No, I just remembered the bag I am
picking up. I can't carry it."
I won the argument. She let me have
the car and I hugged her. I imagined
myself speeding off all by myself with
Chinecherem beside me, romancing my
hands. Heck, I might even have a go at
her in the car.
"Ermm, mummy money for fuel," I said
slowly.
"Oya Chinecherem get out of here!" she
chased me up. "Bia nwuru ara, come
and suck breast naa!"
I laughed my way out of her presence. I
knew her tank was never empty expect
Willie had tampered with it but he was
back at school. I just needed small
money just in case. She later rogered
me shaa without my asking for it. My
mom was made like that.
Chinecherem was busy hotline blinging
me while I was gearing up for that
day's affair. I answered her once and
ignored the rest. She said she was
already waiting for me at one popular
junction like that, so her incessant calls
were understandable even though she
can be a pest when she wants to. I got
set by 1pm and after much prayers
from my mum that I don't crash the
car and myself and that daughters of
Jezebel may not see me. I drove off by
1:30 pm, looking all nice and smart.
So driving through the streets and busy
road of Awka wasn't that easy for me. I
had become a little rusty. One was that
I could count the number of times I had
been in mom's car as the driver and
the other was because that was about a
year ago. So I was busy behind the
wheels either getting cussed by my
fellow drivers or I was cussing them. A
lot of cussing did happen.
Sighting Chinecherem wasn't so hard.
She was waiting at Unizik junction,
opposite Crunches eatery. She was her
usual curvy self and looking like one
slay queen. A denim trouser torn on
the knee, just fitting perfectly to her a
little bowed leg and revealing her
camel too in an appetizing way. Then
her denim jacket, covering her white
singlet with her cleavage grabbing some
fresh air from the top. A sunshade and
her shining weave was just on fleek.
She was very beautiful and I was glad I
didn't miss.
I pulled up beside her, almost knocking
her into the gutter. I bet she was about
to cuss the daylight out of me before
my window went down and I stripped
her Unclad with my eyes, covered by
Willie's Versace sunshade. She smiled
and became her jittery self.
"Baby," she squealed and came for my
door. She kissed me through the open
window. Her lipsticks were gone in that
instant but she still looked good
without them.
"How are you?" I bassed out at her.
That was my big boy tone. She nodded
a fine thank you and ran to the other
side of the car. She got in and I made a
turn for the eatery. We needed to start
somewhere.
I made our orders over the counter. I
didn't let her breathe a word ther cos
if she did, she would just order the
whole place and I don't think I have
any reasonable explanation to give my
mom for abandoning her car at an
eatery because I couldn't fix the bills of
a daughter of Jezebel.
We took our fried rice and chicken to
the table. I had a one chivita on the
saucer too. We sat down and faced each
other.
"Try not to finish that food before me, I
am not buying another one, " I warned
her. She giggled. My phone beeped. I
checked and it was a whatsapp message
from Naza.
"Baby, what is your mother doing at
Crunches?" she asked. My countenance
changed. It's either my mom was at
Crunches too and Chinaza passing by
saw her or the both of them were there
at Crunches. Either way, I was fvcked.
"How did you know," I typed with the
speed of light. She gave a space of 35
seconds before she replied.
"Her car is parked here."
"And what are you doing here?" I
asked.
"I am here with Chinaza," she replied
and then started typing immediately. I
waited and her second message came
in.
"What do you mean here? Chinecherem
are you at Crunches?" she asked. I
turned to Chinecherem and asked.
"Did you know that Naza and Shape
were here?". She nodded.
"I came here with Shape and Naza
joined us." she said and drank her cup
of the juice, stuffing her mouth with a
sizable size of the chicken. My palms
itched from wanting to give her a
resounding slap. Baby bear or not, that
girl needed a good ass whooping and I
mean the type you do with a leather
belt and not the dick.
"And you didn't tell me?" I asked.
"I wanted to be with you first before
that your girl will snatch you away,"
she replied casually. My phone beeped
again.
"Chinecherem answer me now or I will
find you myself."
That was Naza's message.
"You are silly, where are they?" I asked
her without the tiniest bit of smile on
my face. She pointed behind me and I
turned. Chinaza had her red face on
her phone while shape winked at me.
She obviously knew I was there, a thing
Chinaza was much oblivious of.
"I stood up and Chinecherem ran beside
me being her restless self. We walked
up to them and just before Chinaza
raised her head, Shape yelled.
"Suprise!!!"
I smiled and she winked at me. She got
me covered and here I was thinking she
didn't love me. I bent low and pecked
Naza.
"What is this? What are you doing
here?" she asked, shooting looks
between I and Neche.
"Wanted to Suprise you, shape invited
me on whatsapp," I said and Shape
nodded. Chinaza gave me a doubting
look.
"You don't believe me?" I asked.
"Yes, you are lying. Shape's whatsapp
expired yesterday," she said, crossing
her hands over her chest.
"She Used Neche's phone," I said.
"Well, I don't trust you but I trust her,"
she said and pulled me down for a
second peck. More seats and I sat down.
"Slay queen or not, I am not wasting
those foods," Chinecherem said and ran
back to our former table. I watched her
upturn my plate into hers and grabbed
the juice and headed for our new table.
None of those things did she share with
me.
Shape took charge of the orders,
ordering fresh sets of food and juice.
Even Chinecherem received a new
plate. I had to protest.
"Is Willie here?" I asked and they shook
their head.
"Did you guys come with any other
guy?" I asked and heads shook again.
"Why do you ask?" Shape asked me.
"Who will pay for all these ones you
are ordering or are they free?" I asked.
"Did you come with a cooler of food?"
Naza asked me, I shook my head.
"Then what are we going to eat if we
don't order or did you come for sight
seeing?" She asked me. I heaved a sigh
and relaxed to my fate. Thank God
mom gave me that extra money.
I stood up from the table and started to
walk away.
"Where to?" Naza asked.
"I want to buy beer, I need a bit of
alcohol in my system."
"I will walk with you," she said and
stood up. I sized her up and she was
dazzling in her huge red gown. She
looked just lovely so I let her follow
me.
We walked to the car first and I
emptied my mom's pigeon hole of all
the money there. Then hand in hand we
walked to the counter.
"Give me Heineken," I started to say
and Chinaza interrupted me.
"Give him malt," she said. I gave her
the opolo eye.
"For what kwanu?" I asked. She rubbed
my back romantically and pecked me.
"If you get drunk now, who will drive
us home?" she asked. I accepted the
malt grudgingly and we walked back to
our table to meet a packet of juice
sitting beside each plate. Four packets
of juice in total. I don't know between
Shape and Chinecherem who made the
order but whoever it was, I am going to
find out and she will pay either today,
tomorrow or in the future.
