chapter 23
You are going to be late Maggie, I called from the living room where I am taking her school bag and lunch box to the car. She has resumed school last week and so far she loves it.
I am coming mommy, she called from the dinning room where she's eating
Where is she? James asked when I got out.
She's still eating, I said as I stopped myself from drooling all over him. I know you guys are wondering what's happening but trust me if I say this two weeks we've spent with him as been more adventurous than half of my lifetime. I got to find out how hot he is and then I started to have a crush on him. And right now with him looking smoking hot in his suit, I don't know if I could control myself any longer. But for you guys information, I don't think he feels the same way about me.
What are you thinking about? James asked as he snapped his finger in front of my eyes. I guess I zoned out.
Ohhh nothing, I would just go get Maggie, I said as I rushed in before further embarrassing myself
Maggie and James had left already and I had the house all to myself. I wonder what to do to keep me company. Oh yes!!!! I know just what. I would call Antra.
It is today you remember me after all this years, she said into the receiver as soon as she picked the call
Is that your Hi ehn Antra?? Besides didn't we talk on Sunday, you should quit being dramatic and give me gist jorrr
Well I wanted to call you today masef, Ben and I are going to get married in a month tiiiiime, she yelled the last part excitedly
Wait a minute, dis you just say you guys are getting married??? I asked smiling widely, I am Soo happy for her
Ofcourse that's what I said, and it is in a months time, I am Soo happy right now, I have been waiting for this all this while and it seems this baby came to answer my prayers, she said with laughter in her voice
Congratulations girlfriend but did you just say a baby???? I asked to be sure
Ofcourse I said a baby, I am a month gone that's why Ben wants to hurry the wedding up Soo I wouldn't show before the wedding, he says he doesn't want to born his child out of wedlock and he also doesn't want people to know about the baby being conceived out of wedlock. Whatever that means I don't care all I know is I am getting married to the love of my life, she said rambling on
So what material type is your asoebi and what colour is it, I asked happily
Are you going to ask me over the phone or you are going to come over?? She asked
Well I would like to come because I have gist for you too but it would be tomorrow because I have to inform James first, I explained
What gist do you have for me?? And why do you have to ask for his permission,Is he now your husband or what, don't tell me that idiot is locking your up in his house, she confronted her voice starting to rise up
He is not locking me up or anything of that sort, I am the only one at home and I don't want to leave the house empty, besides I don't appreciate you calling him an idiot, I ended
Ahh so the idiot wey I call am dey vex you??? See me see trouble oooo don't tell me you've started catching feelings for that guy?? She said unbelievably
I will talk to you tomorrow, I said quickly and ended the call. I would have to brace myself for tomorrow because Antra would talk my ear off regarding of all the men I choose to fall for it has to be James.

Ohh my God!!! What is that sound I grumbled waking up from my nap. After the call from Maggie, I watched a couple of movie before coming to nap so by the time I wake up I would just prepare lunch... And talking about lunch, what's the time?? I thought as I checked the bedside clock
Holy shit!!!!!! I exclaimed as I shot up from the bed. I only have thirty minutes till Maggie is back.. why do I have to oversleep.
I started thinking of what to cook as soon as I entered the kitchen. I would have opted for indomie but I can't serve that to James,he's been working since morning and he's not a fan of noodles.
I decided to prepare semovita since we had soup in the fridge, it shouldn't take too long.
Honk!!!!! Honk!!!!!! I heard a car horn at the gate. I guess they are back and I am almost through, I just have to heat up the soup and dish the food into a warmer.
Mommy, I heard Maggie yell from the living room. It has become a habit of hers to yell my name anytime she comes home from school until she finds and then she would give me a tight hug before telling me all about her school and new friends. I know others might find this disturbing but I find it heartwarming and adorable.
Hey baby, I said as she ran into the kitchen to give me a hug which I returned
Good afternoon mommy, she greeted
How was school today??? I asked her as I turned back to my food, knowing I am going to get a full gist
I made a new friend today, her name is sa'adat. Mommy she can read two letter words very well and I also..........
I want to talk to you about something James, I said stopping him in the corridor as he wants to go in for the night. He only stays up till Maggie retires for the night then he does the same but I know he doesn't sleep till 11 o'clock
What is it Fariya?? He asked
Ohh my God I am going to hyperventilate, the way he pronounces my name is just unique. He focusses his stress on the ri so my name sounds like fareeya.
He snapped his fingers to bring me out of my riverie,I noticed you zone out a lot this days, are you okay??
Uhmm yes I am okay, I just want to ask you if I can go to Maggie's house tomorrow, I really need to see her, I asked hoping he would agree
You don't have to ask me if you want to go out Fariya?? You just have to inform me Soo we wouldn't get worried of your whereabouts, he said with a kind smile. Holy fuck, is that smile directed to me?? Ohh I am lucky to get one of his smiles directed to me, it is always Maggie that makes him smile, that little girl is Soo lucky
Alright if you say so, good night, I said returning his smile before turning around to leave.
