Episode Ten
“You weren’t just a girl to me Precious. I valued our
friendship, I treasured it. It’s just that ……….” I didn’t
want to voice out something that will make her feel
worse than she was already so I withdrew my
words before it came out but she picked it up from
there.

there.
“Just that what? You couldn’t see yourself dating
me? I mean why would you date me? What is there
to gain again? You have seen and had everything on
a platter of gold so what more?”
“Precious stop” I said out loud. Her words were
piercing through my heart. I know she would never
stop saying those things till I tell her something
that will give her a guilty conscience too.
“Why are you saying all these to me?” I continued.

“Why are you saying all these to me?” I continued.
“Do you know how I loved you in first year? Do you
know what your rejection did to me? Do you know
what damage it did to my esteem? Do you think all
I wanted from you is just S£x and money? I wanted
you, someone to call my own after Oge, but what
did you want? You wanted me for just S£x. You saw
in me that guy you could just spend on and use to
satisfy your urges. All these while I have loved you
but I had told myself that hiding it is the best I
could do. When you came out with your feelings, I
was afraid. How sure am I that it wasn’t still a plan
to keep me around for your satisfaction and when
you are done you will get me discarded? I was so
drawn to you that I feared what will happen after
graduation. I was afraid of being lonely when Oge’s
issue came, I decided to end things for good with
the both of you and move on.”

She was stunned after I dropped my last word. I
could see that finally I had hit a nerve. After a
deafening silence between us, she cleared her throat
and said the least thing I expected to hear.

“Purity I’m sorry I never understood your feelings
then. Then I was playing by my parent’s wishes and
didn’t want to drag you into it. If I could turn back
the hands of time, I’ll make things better.”
“It’s ok, it’s in the past now. We have to move on
ok?” I said looking her in the eyes.
“Ok but can I ask you something? I know it might
sound a little weird kinda.”
“Sure, go on.”
“Do you still have feelings for me?” she asked with
a sly smile.
“Yea, I still do, but you know I have a girlfriend
now, so it doesn’t matter anymore.”
“So do you think we can still get down?” she asked
again still with the smile.
“I have a girlfriend, sorry” I replied laughing.
“That is not a yes or a no?” she retorted.
“I refuse to answer that question, but I will do well
to avoid you as much as I can because I HAVE A
GIRLFRIEND”

“Before the girlfriend came around, mum was there
so I don’t need your answer anymore. I already
have the answer I want, thank you” she said
laughing.

We decided to go and chill out a bit in Mami
market while I collect one of my phone from the
phone charging spot. As we walked down, she
slipped her fingers into mine and locked them
together. When we got the phone charging section, I
paid and collected my phone and we left to a café.
We placed our orders and waited to be served. I
was focused on my phone when Precious tapped
me.
“Is that not your girlfriend?” she asked nodding to a
girl sitting with a guy in another café opposite ours.

Following her direction I saw Shania sitting with a
guy. The guy was talking while Shania was typing
away on her phone. She will occasionally look up
and smile to the guy before going back to her
phone. I smiled knowing how she can be.
“Yea that’s her, why?”
“That guy is my platoon leader.”
“Which platoon you dey self?” I asked.
“Platoon 9.” She replied still staring at Shania and
the dude.
“Abeg leave them make them enjoy, camp na only
three weeks.”

She turned and looked at me. She was surprised I
said that. I smiled back at her removing my phone
for the waiter to drop the snacks we ordered.
“Do you really trust her that much that seeing her
with another guy doesn’t make you feel somehow?”
“I trust her. I have seen things that made me to
really trust her.”

We were still talking when my phone beeped
showing a What Sapp message. Opening it, I read
the content. I laughed and turned the screen of the
phone to Precious, she read it and pushed my hand
away from her face. It was from Shania and it read

“baby please where are you, there is someone
talking trash into my ears please come and save
me” she added many crying smiley to the message
which made it more funny.

‘Look at the shop opposite and you will see your
knight in shining armor’ I typed and sent back to
her. She turned, looked towards our direction and
smiled. She stood up and pointed towards us while
the guy looked in our direction before she left him.

When Shania got to where I was with Precious her
countenance changed. As she settled beside me,
she pulled out her phone and kept herself busy with
it. After a while, Precious stood up and left giving
me a flimsy excuse of going to meet her platoon
commandant. As she left, Shania remained quite not
uttering a word to me till when we left.
