Gossip Queen

K sat with one hand supporting his jaw while the other scrolling through his phone. He was busy reading the rumours about Lanre. It was everywhere on social media. There were too many people hating on her already. He could not come to understand how someone would just be out for another person’s downfall.

“Is she okay? Will she cry or she will be forming superwoman? I can’t even go see her because of this stupid thing I signed with Ify”. K muttered.

“K have you seen the latest news that’s trending on social media? You should be thankful to me for saving you from the stigma of staying with a prostitute. I never knew there were people who knew what she does as well”. Ify said walking into K’s bedroom. She was going to make him lose interest in Lanre.

“You are right Ify! And damn I must commend you for saving me early enough from getting to make a decision I would regret. It would have been boring if I didn’t get to spread the STD she gave me while we had sex. I mean, now I know where I got my STD from. Ify I think we should have sex today”. K said taking off his shirt. Ify asked him what he thinks he was doing.

“I think I’m beginning to love you, and there is much love in sharing. Let’s share the disease together”. K said to her. He took of his trousers remaining his boxers. Ify immediately ran out of the room.

“He has gone mad! Geez!” She said with her hand resting on her chest. She never expected him to believe it so soon and even act that way. She was expecting herself to do some convincing and then watch him regret, but he sounded happy about it. He was even claiming he has STD. She does not believe him, but she was certainly not going to sleep with him. Not until his heart finally belongs to her.

Meanwhile K remained in his room. He already locked the door to ensure Ify doesn’t come back in. He called a female friend of his.

“Mimi, what’s up?” He asked.

“I’m good! This one that you called me today, I don de enter your eye?” Mimi said to K over the phone asking him if he had called her because he was getting attracted to her.

“I need your help. You know you are the most followed up gossip queen in Naija. Please I need you to do me a favour”. K said to Mimi. Mimi asked what she would need to do. K told her that he has a friend who a false rumour has been spread about her. He wants her to help him by letting people know the rumour is false.

“Hehehe! K, who is this friend of yours? You don’t help people for nothing, is she your babe?” Mimi asked. K told her it’s just a friend he cares about and that he would pay her whatever she demands for.
