Stay?

Lanre assured Christian she was fine. She told him what was happening to her was something personal and she would not like to tell. He lets her be and did not talk about it anymore. They just talked about random things for a while before Christian suddenly asked Lanre how her stay at Kehinde’s place went.

“Stay? I did not stay….. Wait, how did you know I was at Kehinde’s place?” Lanre asked. Christian asked her if she was the only one that has not seen the video that has gone viral. She told him she was yet to see it, but she did not care about it. She told him she was invited by a friend and had no clue it was Kehinde’s place. Christian nods his head.

“Besides, Kehinde was quite mean to me. He sent me out of his house at night. Such an inconsiderate bastard”. Lanre said with a frown on her face.

“You know what, I told him I will make sure beyond Ify, he never gets to have a relationship”. She said yet again. Christian balled his fist. He asked her if she has eaten and what she ate. Lanre kept mute. It occurred to her she was yet to eat anything that day. She shook her head.

“You don’t know how to take of yourself Lanre. You have not eaten anything since morning, and you expect yourself not to end up sick? What do you want to eat?” Christian asked. Then he told her to just go change her clothes he would take her to a restaurant so she could place an order of whatever she wants.

She stood up but immediately fell back on the couch clutching her stomach. Christian rushed to her side. He placed his hand on the hand she was holding her stomach with.

“My stomach hurts so bad!” Lanre said to Christian. He carried her in his arms rushing towards the door.

“What are you doing?” Lanre asked Christian. He told her he was taking her to the hospital. She told him not to and that what was wrong with her was a common thing among most ladies. He was adamant though to take her to the hospital, but she explained to him that it would not help even if she goes. She told him she would not even want to take drugs.

“Do you suffer this often?” Christian asked. She told him this was the first time she was having cramps. Christian puts her down on the couch. He asked her what she needed him to do. Lanre told him to get some cold water or preferably boil water and soak a towel in it. Christian felt placing the hot towel on her stomach would be better. He boiled water, poured it into a bowl and then dipped a towel in it. He placed the hot towel on her lower abdomen. He then asked her if he should order in or cook something for her to eat. She shook her head telling him she was not hungry.
