JIDE: EPISODE 33

JIDE: EPISODE 33

Later another lady came outside, with Nolly… One could tell she was in her late 20s. She approached me and introduced herself as Nolly’s elder sister…Rose.. I introduced myself as Jide… South Africans do not really fancy Nigerians, no matter how much or how handsome you are… but they had to play along because of Nolly…
We all sat down concentrating one the TV. Nolly came with rice, a large bowl of chicken with drinks [soft]… All these for me? I asked her… She didn’t reply, she just placed the large tray on my lap… To avoid embarrassment, I carried the food to the dining table, Nolly came to join me…. As much as I would have loved to devour the entire chicken, I had to park well. She sat in my front and stared at my face… This girl was still wearing the top that bears my name…. She was crazy in love, everybody could tell.
I didn’t waste time at all… Five minutes, I was done… I didn’t finish the thing as I would have loved too… but I still had a good catch.. She stood up, carried the plate back to the kitchen… she came back hurriedly..
Nolly: Baby, my dad is coming… you’re going to be meeting him soon….
Me: *I was so nervous at that statement.. and I could only wonder what kind of trouble I have gotten myself into* Okay..
Nolly: What’s wrong with you, why are you shaky?
Me: Why won’t I be, did you tell me about this before?
Nolly: Anyway just be yourself okay..
Me: What do you want me to do?
Nolly: Just calm down… don’t be too anxious Jide…*She laughs*
Me: Okay, I’ll be okay… I’ll be very okay in fact.
