Her Fantasies

“

You did not keep your promise to attend the birthday celebration for my roommate, did you? After a long day at the girls' secondary school, I was headed back to my room when I heard something coming from behind me on the staircase.

When I turned around, the chocolate beauty who was standing on the opposite side of the staircase was staring at me in a peculiar way. I must have neglected to remember the birthday of her somewhat diminutive roommate, which she had invited me to celebrate.

I was reminded that it was supposed to happen the previous weekend, which was the same weekend that I administered the exam to my poly students.

"I am so sorry, I completely failed to remember that." I stated this in all candor. I had no intention of skipping out on the birthday party.

I was able to recall her informing me that it was going to be a private gathering held indoors, with only a select group of guests invited. That previous weekend, I had administered a test to my students, and then, without realizing it, I went downstairs to Mike's room. "it wasn't fair because I had already told her that you were going to come, and we had you on the list of invited guests," She said.

"I truly apologize." I said. "well, for you to start apologizing, you can make your way over to the room and apologize to her; if you bring her a birthday present, she may be willing to forgive you." She remarked with a cheery expression on her face.

We both climbed the stairs at the same time. When I asked how the party went, she refused to tell me until I apologized to her friend. "Aren't you coming over again?" she asked when I came to a halt outside my room door. She had to have expected me to accompany her into the room as promised. "Is she at home?" I inquired, and she nodded.

"Give me a minute to freshen up, and I'll join you guys." I said this as I entered my room. I entered my room, ate something, showered, and lay down on my bed. I fell asleep and awoke to the sound of footsteps walking across my corridor. I looked at the time and realized it was already evening.

I dressed and entered my next-door neighbor's room. When I knocked on the door, a voice invited me in. I walked into the room after opening the door. The smallish girl was sitting on the only chair in the room, and she moved to the bed to join her friends, allowing me to take her place.

When I walked in, there were three girls in the room, and the chocolate beauty was sitting on the bed with another girl. "I'm sorry for missing your birthday; it completely slipped my mind." As I took my seat on the chair, I addressed the smallish girl. I noticed she and the other girl were both staring at my groin.

I wondered if they were measuring my dkk size. It wouldn't be impossible, given that they've been bugged by loud moaning sounds for days on end. "It's fine, I told Monica you weren't coming when she told me she invited you." She gestured towards the chocolate beauty.

It was obvious that she was the Monica. "To be honest, I wanted to come. It had slipped my mind." In the midst of eager staring eyes, I said it again, sounding stupid.

The intensity of their stares made me feel awkward among them, so I tried to relax by asking their names. "Her name is Monica." the smallish one added. "And that's her friend Hilary,"  She stated. "How about you?" I inquired of the smallish girl. “kehinde.” She responded. "Does that mean you're a twin?" I inquired.

I learned at camp that yoruba twins have the names kehinde and taiwo, so if she was kehinde, she might be a twin. "Yea," she said, with a sad expression on her face.

The look meant there was something sad about the topic I was trying to venture into, so I changed it by introducing myself. Within the next few minutes, I spent time answering questions from the trio, questions like “where are you from: what did you study at school: what was camp like. . .” 

“where is the birthday gift you promised her?” asked Monica, the chocolate beauty. “Let me make it up to her by taking all of you out this evening.” 

Yeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!! They all screamed and rushed to get their make-up kit and dress for the evening. I took all three of them out that evening. It was fun as they quizzed me about my personal life and after some glasses of drinks, they were bold enough to ask why is it I had many girlfriends. 

I argued that I didn’t even have a girlfriend as I wasn’t doing an exclusive dating at the moment. I had three girls I was fvcking at the moment; my angel, Nina and mabel. 

They insisted I was triple-dating, and that it was a similar phenomenon among guys. “None of them is ever faithful!” exclaimed Hilary and they all giggled. 

“well, except my ken!” said Monica, “do you know that ever since. . .” “. . .here we go again!”  kehinde and Hilary echoed simultaneously and all busted out laughing. I learnt from them that Monica the chocolate beauty was dating Ken and she was all head-over-heals for the guy. 

She always insist that the guy was perfect and could never hurt a fly, talk more of her. “there is no single minute that passes without her boring us with ken stories.” Hilary said and they all laughed. “its so nice to be in love.” Monica cut in, holding her heart and staring up in empty space. 

“everything just makes sense when you find that perfect person.” It was obvious she was really in love, and I suspected she was trying to hook me up with her roommate. 

Inviting me for the birthday, insisting I come to the room and apologize, insisting I get a gift for her and apparently, with the little conversation I've heard with them, it was obvious they discuss about me a lot. “I’m happy for you.” I said to her. 

“c’mon, don’t tell me you don’t love any of the girls that scream and disturb us with moans all day.” She teased. “I fell in love once, and it didn’t work out. I think relationships are more simple without love. Love complicates it all.” 

I told her and watched as they all stared at me like I was making some sense which they had failed to realize all these while. My phone rang and it was Sandra, the deputy sanitary prefect. It just occurred to me that she might be in my hostel, calling my number. 

I had given her my number after she promised to come to the knights. “hello, I want to start coming now.” She said as I picked the call. I told her I was not around, and may not be around and for the night.  She sounded disappointed and hung up. Well, you can’t have them all:- said the little whisper of a voice.  

I stayed back with the trio as we talked and laughed with open minds. It was a wonderful night, staying among the ladies and listening to what they think about guys. Monica was really in love as she always had a reason to mention ‘ken’ in her statement. 

I also learnt that kehinde, the smallish one had a crush on me. According to her rommie who was talking under the influence of alcohol, kehinde always blushed whenever they talk about me. 

“What exactly do you guys gossip about when you talk about me?” I asked. “the moaning!” they almost said at the same time and I smiled.  

I learnt that Hilary was having a hard time with relationships. She had just broken up with the fifth guy she had dated just within 6 months of gaining admission into the school. “What?” I exclaimed. 

"Are you attempting to shatter some kind of record, or what?" After Monica had also informed me of that, I questioned her about it. She cried out in frustration, "It's so hard to keep up with guys' needs!" I then made an announcement to them, saying, "I told you guys." "Relationships are a lot less difficult to maintain when feelings of love and commitment are not involved." I stated that we would use Hilary's life as an example for the case study.

Both of the girls appeared to agree with me, but Monica was absolutely determined to get a romantic relationship. Shortly after that, her phone rang, and she turned a bright shade of pink when she saw who had called. It wasn't hard to figure out that her Ken was the one who had called.

After the call, she gave an explanation for her absence, stating that she was going to spend the night at Ken's place. Kehinde was dissatisfied with the fact that she got to spend every night with her boyfriend instead of her. She gave her a friendly smile before urging her to go out and find a boyfriend.

"You are free to begin from here." Kehinde became red in the face and came dangerously close to hiding her face under the table as Monica teased her while pointing in my direction before leaving the room. That first voice in my head said, "Well, if she has this huge crush on you, you can start by making her dreams come true!" I heard that voice in my head.
