brain of mine

The banku and okro stew was very delicious, everyone enjoyed the meal except for Stephanie who didn't join us for dinner.

    I noticed how Uncle Simon  felt indignant ,when Miss Araba announced that Stephanie refused to join us for dinner, in spite of his anger , he kept his cool though.

    After the meal , I said my goodbyes  and went straight to my room.

Been the class prefect  just for one day was very exhausting, so I went to bed early while the family watched TV.

   At midnight I knew cries, I immediately woke up and looked through my window to check who those cries came from.

It was Stephanie who was in the garden , sitting on the grass sobbing.

  I was 'sitting on the fence' whether I should check on her or just stay in bed and mind my business.

Of course, I saw how she ventured her anger on Miss Araba earlier today, but eventually I decided to check on her, after all I promised to help keep the family unity strong in anyway I can.

  I wore a sport short over my boxers , took 2 packets of chocolate and   plantain chips I bought earlier today on our way home in the traffic and stepped out of my room.

   I made sure not to make any noise , I slowly and carefully tip toed towards her , when I was a meter away from her,I asked

" Stephanie,Are you alright?".

She turned and quickly stood up immediately, now facing me she asked

"What are you doing here, you were supposed to be in bed by now; are you stalking me?" .

"No, am not following you around,but your crying was so annoying that you disturbed my sleep" I answered.

She stood there looking at me .

I guess she didn't expect me to say that .

I observed how she was inspecting what I held in my hands, so I continued to say   "I thought you were hungry, so I brought you these snacks since you didn't join us for dinner tonight"

Her eyes lite up when I showed her what I was holding, but she looked away , putting her arms on her chest and said  "Go Away, am not hungry"

But before I could say anything, I heard her stomach gurgle.

"Well, I guess  your stomach doesn't agree with what you just said, just take it and you will be fine" I said

"Chocolate is my cheat snack, I eat them only on Saturdays "Stephanie said still in her stubborn pose.

"Okay, then take the chips" I said pointing the chocolate and chips towards her.

She hesitately took both the chocolate and chips and whispered " Don't think of telling anyone you gave me chocolates.....,.. I will pay you back, how many did it cost?"

"I will advice you not to stay outside here for long because there's a lot of mosquitoes out here; look there's one on your left thigh" I said ...looking and wondering,what made her thigh shine even at night , they looked like the surface of water when the moon light shines on them.

She quickly started slapping her thighs and asked  " where, where?"

Oh , it flew away" I said.

I felt my sport shorts become tighter as I looked at her thighs, I turned around quickly to avoid her from seeing what was happening down there.

I immediately walked into my room .

I felt embarrassed, I blame my embarrassment on the dirty thoughts that invaded my normal clean mind of mine.

  After I closed the door , I looked down on my shorts ; I was still jacked to the brim.

   I was normally good at controlling myself but this time I was caught slacking .

  I laid down on my bed trying to ignore the silly and naughty thoughts that my ill brain was suggesting.
