CAMPUS DILEMMA 2
CAMPUS DILEMMA 2
The banging at my door woke me from my sleep. I realized the mess I have made on my bed. Jeez!!, so it was all a dream with Cindy tormenting me this bad. I rolled of the bed spread , got into my boxer and went to answer the door .
7 . 00 am , summary , I slept after talking with Precious and had a dream with Cindy . No wonder they said most of our dreams are made up by our day actions and thoughts . That Sunday just like other Sundays , I didn ’ t feel like going to church . I can ’ t remember the last time I went to church . I think the last time was in the first semester of my first year . Truth is that I am a staunch catholic . In fact, it flows in my blood . My parents are knights in the Catholic Church . I started serving at the alter when I was 10years old. I lost the appetite for church activities after my first year and since then I have been worshipping God in my own way .
I did my morning drills of 150 pushups ( 30 ×5 ) and 150 sit ups ( 50 ×3 ) , had my bath and breakfast of noodles . After I devoured the noodles , I switched on my television and sound system. Thank God for PHCN , movie watching mode was highly activated . I resumed with the ’ 24hours ’ season seven that I was seeing before .
Half way into the movie , I remembered the note containing the number. I picked it from my reading table and dialled the number. After two consecutive rings without being answered , I dropped the phone and resumed with the movie .
About 20minutes into the movie again , the number started calling back . I ignored it twice before picking on the third ring .
“Hello ?” came a sweet calm feminine voice. Immediately I heard the voice, my head ran a voice recognition search . Match was not found.
“Hello , good morning ” I greeted .
“Good morning , sorry I missed your call” she apologized .
“No problem, so who am I on with?” I asked .
“Sorry, but don ’ t you think I should be asking you that that ” she said sounding calm and respectful .
“Nah , I don ’ t think so. Someone gave me a piece of paper containing this number yesterday” I said with a matter of fact.
“Oh ! My bad. Thought you would never call” she said.
“Yea I didn ’ t want to , but I guess my curiosity got the best of me ”
“Well, thank God you called ”
“So who am I speaking with?” I asked again .
“I ’ m Shania ” she answered and was about to say something before I cut her off with another question .
“So Shania have we met or is something wrong ?”
“About meeting , directly no , indirectly yes . But nothing is wrong ” she answered .
“I don ’ t understand ”
“Indirectly we met at Chitis on Saturday . Maybe you didn ’ t see me , but I saw you and you left an impression with me ” she explained.
“Ok Shania , don ’ t know what to say , but I believe you saw me with someone yesterday and that someone is my girlfriend ” I said.
I said that not because I wouldn’ t want to meet with someone with such a beautiful voice. Who wouldn’ t want to meet a girl that dropped her contact with you? In this part of the world such acts are rare . But in as much as I would want to meet her , a part of my mind was telling me that it might be a set up by Cindy .
“Hmmmm !” She heaved a sigh before she continued . “I will pretend I didn ’ t hear the girlfriend part . So if you don ’ t mind can we meet ? She asked .
“When ?” I asked back.
“Today or maybe anytime of your choosing ” she replied .
“Ok let ’ s make it today but the venue will be my choice ” I said.
“Ok , your way then . Let know whatever you decide” she said laughing.
“Sure ” I replied before the call ended .
I was not into any sort of frat or organization in school . Even my town people meeting I no dey go . I hardly stay for any class gathering . But despite that , am always security conscious .
‘Let ’ s meet at 11 : 45 by 4 pm ’ , I typed and sent to her . 11 : 45 is a popular café in school
After that , I called Cindy but got no response after two rings. She must be in church . I sent her a Sunday message and resumed with my movie .
I got so engrossed in the movie because the next time I checked , it was 2 pm already . Whoever directed that 24 should be given an award together with Jack . I prepared to meet Shania . If voices determines beauty , then I think am going to meet an Angel .
I checked myself out on my mirror and nodded in satisfaction . I don ’t dress heavily but looking simple and classic is one of my principles . I sprayed my ‘ Royal Blue ’ cologne and left .
Time check 3 : 40 , I was already on a suya joint opposite 11 : 45 chatting with the mallam that owns the joint who is my friend . I switched my phone to silent mode and waited.
Some 20minutes later , a girl alighted from a cab in front of 11 : 45. “Wooow!” I exclaimed , this girl is an over definition of beauty . Even the mallam stopped talking for a while and stared at the girl. Cindy is very beautiful and endowed but this girl is more beautiful and more endowed .
She pulled out her phone and dialled a number. Immediately my phone started vibrating . I ignored the phone for the first ring . She dialled back again and I busied the call. She turned around and started looking at different directions . Just as I was about to go and meet her, one tall , huge dude alighted from his parked Toyota Avensus and approached the girl. My heart skipped that minute . Some guys no dey carry eyes see fine girls whether na person wife or not . I relaxed back to watch what was going to happen .
For like three minutes, the guy was talking but the girl just behaved like he wasn’ t even there, like he doesn’ t exist . “This babe wicked gan” I said to myself and decided to throw the girl a life line and walked up to them.
“Hi guys ” I greeted as I got to them. Shania turned and heaved that kind of thank God sigh also hugging me at the same time. The dude just stood there looking at us. I was surprised at her action with the whole hugging thing . I hailed the dude again stretching out my hand for a hand shake which he reciprocated .
“Sorry bro , I guess she is your babe ” he said. Before I could say any response , Shania took over and started with intro 101 .
“Stranger meet my boyfriend and sweetheart meet mr stranger ’ she said flashing a set of white teeth with a beautiful smile to the dude .
“Guy you must be a very lucky……… . ” The dude started to say before Shania cut him off .
“Yea, he knows he is lucky and if you don ’ t mind we will like to go now” she said pulling my hand as she walked away. I looked at the dude and saw embarrassment written all over him. I drew Shania back gently for a proper introduction .
“My guy am Purity and she is Shania . Don ’ t mind her, she is my friend and not the other way round” I said to the dude .
“I ’ m Dave ”, he said stretching out his hands once again . ” and nice to meet you two ” he continued . Shania smiled and apologized for her rude behavior.
“Am actually going to have some drink inside , hope you guys don ’ t mind if we share a table” he said looking at us.
“It would have been a pleasure , but we ain ’ t going in ( Shania looked at me ) . But if you don ’ t mind , let ’ s do this another day . I said to the guy .
“No probs , next time then ” he said handing out a complimentary card to me . He took my contact before we parted . I hailed a cab with Shania looking at me . I told the cab man to drop us at Chitis .
We got to Chitis and coincidentally the table I occupied with Cindy on Saturday was empty . I led Shania to the table . We settled at the table and placed our orders when the waiter arrived .
“So why did you change the venue all of a sudden ?” she asked .
