You Can Have Two

K arrived Lanre’s place with the things he bought while coming. He called her on the phone to come open the gate for him before stepping out of his car. He was not sure how he would be able to open it when he steps out with his hands full with four bags of goodies.

Lanre did come to open the gate for him. She asked him to drive into the compound rather than parking his car outside. So he had to go back into his car so he could drive in. He parked his car properly and got out. Without helping him to hold any of the bags, Lanre led him into her apartment. The only thing she did was help him open the door and shut it after he entered.

“Oh my God! Are those for me or they are for everyone. I could make do with two of those bags uncle K”. Eno said. She had just come out of her room as well. The sound of someone opening the gate had woke her up from sleep.

“You can’t have two”. K said to Eno. Eno frowned.

“That’s right! You did not even greet him before requesting to take two of the bags”. Lanre said. Eno twisted her lips. She looked down. A grin appeared on her face. She suddenly looked up at K and ran towards him.

“Uncle K welcome. Happy Sunday! How have you been?” She asked all out once. She did not wait for K to say a word before she went on and on about how Lanre missed him and how she holds him in high esteem as she led him to sit down on the couch. She took two bags from him and told him to make himself comfortable.

“I won’t disturb you guys. I swear!” She said raising up her left hand while holding the two bags with her right hand. K laughed.

“She asked me to buy them for you. So you can actually have all four bags. If you can’t finish what’s inside, you can do away with the rest. You will be getting more”. K said. Eno shook her head. She told K it was not right to waste food.

“Right! You only bought something for Eno!” Lanre said clapping her hands on her thighs. She sat down on the couch.

“Eno, please take everything he bought. Enjoy, okay!? I don’t exist”. Lanre said, obviously sounding jealous. K cleared his throat. He walked to Eno’s side.

“Isn’t she the cutest being on earth?” He whispered into Eno’s ears. Lanre raised her eyebrows in reflex. She wanted to pull K away from Eno. She realised it would be weird if she does that. She decided to look away from them.

“You can have two. The baby will have the remaining two”. K said to Eno. This time his voice was audible enough for Lanre to hear him. Eno thanked K and went inside her room. K smiled when he saw the look on Lanre’s face. She looked puzzled.
