Betty sipped some water and swirled it in her mouth before swallowing it., that was her fifth glass, she was lying down on the soft rug watching ASBU pen works story on t V with Jay-Jay who was sipping some wine.

Her eyes drifted to the wall clock. She suddenly became time conscious. “Jeez!…” she quickly got up “did anything bite you?” Jay-jay asked sipping more wine “yes…no..time” she pointed at the clock “what’s with time?” he didn’t look up. “Its past 8pm already, and the gate to the hostel closes by 7:30.” she said pitying herself “you can pass the night here if you wish..”he started she stared at him- in her wildest dreams. “If you think you can spend the night in the harem of cultists, then you are welcomed.” He addedsmiling. “No”. She said almost in a whisper “uhm?” “I’m leaving now” she said picking her purse. “okay.” he picking up something that looked like a reciever”bring over the camry” he said into it. “Lemme drop you off.” he told her. “I’m going to Emeka’s place- I..i’ll spend the night there” her voice was low. “I’ll drop you there,”he chuckled.

He didn’t seem to care. He led the way out, they got into the car and drove off. The journey to Emeka’s place took 30 minutes. “here we are.” Jay-Jay whispered, stoping the car right in front of Emeka’s flat. “Thank you” she smiled “I’l call you tomorrow morning” he was smiling too. She knocked gently on Emeka’s door, she is really gonna suprise him. “Hi..” she said as Emeka opened the door. “wow..” was all Emeka could say before pulling her into a warm hug.

“Sit down, let me get you something to eat” he sounded excited. She sat down; the thought of food made her happy. “To what do I owe this visit?” he asked placing a plate of jollof rice before her. Visit! “I was at Jay-Jay’s place, I wasn’t time conscious, it got late, so I decided to come and..you know..spend the night here” she explained slowly. “Because Jay-Jay couldn’t accomodate you for the night or what?” Emeka asked with a low laugh.

Betty felt in sulted, she stood up gently, picking her purse and phone “I’m sorry for the trouble” she said moving towards the door. “Hey, c’mon baby, that was not what I meant…” he said apologetically. She wasn’t listening, she left, he followed her, he looked left and right but no trace of her. He sighed heavily, he was in deep poo! He should’nt have said those words…He felt the world crashing at his feet.

Betty was standing by the road side,
she was breathing heavily,
she was trying her best not to cry.

Damn it! She cursed under her breathe, who does he think he was anyway! She felt her forehead, her head was aching badly. Damn the headache! damn Emeka! Damn the hunger she felt! Hungry Damn it! She cursed under her breathe, who does he think he was anyway! She felt her forehead, her head was aching badly. Damn the headache! damn Emeka! Damn the hunger she felt! Damn… A car pulled up beside her, Jay-Jay got down, “Let’s go home little sis” he whispered taking her hands gently, opened the door and she got in without a word.

He looked at her briefly before driving off. He
helped her out of the car, sat her down on a
cushion in the living room “Stop crying” He
said
gently, she had been crying all the way. He
opened a
foil paper that contained suya “Eat” he
whispered but she shook her head “please
Nnem” he was pleading with her. She has
never heard that softness in his voice before,
she
never knew he had the word ‘please’ in his
dictionary. She took a piece, it tasted foul, she
made an attempt
to throw up, but he held her down. “steady
there! Its not the suya, but your heart- its full
of pains” he said gently, pouring some creamy
substance into a mug. “here, drink up, it’s
milk” she drank it all,and drank another
serving halfway
before keeping the mug down. He pulled her
up and
moved her towards his bedroom. “you need to
sleep” He whispered tucking her in bed.

He put off the lights leaving only the bedside lamp. “If you need anything, press the bell” he told her showing her a button by the bedside. “goodnight, I’ll share the spare room with Tiger” he explained before leaving the room. Her eyelids were heavy, she closed them gently, this is where she belongs-home. She was awakened by the sound of a gun shot. She sat up abruptly pushing the bed covers away, she looked around; Yikes! It was morning. She pressed the bell button on impulse. The door squeaked and opened with Tiger’s head poking in.
“You need anything?” he asked he doesn’t have the courtesy to greet! Mtchew. “Where’s Jay-Jay?” she ignored his question. “him don comot, e say make I tell you say him dey come now now” tiger replied alittle bit politely. “the gunshot?” her voice was low, “Rox was loading his gun” he explained with an amused look who ever Rox was! Mtchew! “Thanks”she watched him shut the door. What the heck was Jay-Z thinking leaving her here? What if Tiger beheaded her? She shuddered. Getting up gently, she moved towards the bathroom.
