After I was done with what I was doing, I decided to open
the message that I received earlier. I took my phone and
cuddled up in bed before finally opening the message. I
hissed when I saw this because it was just one of those
mtn messages. I didn’t know why I reacted that way
because I wasn’t even expecting a message. I was about
to open the snake game on my phone when another
message came in. I opened the message and behold it
wasn’t from mtn again, it was from a number that I
hadn’t seen before so I decided to read it first. It was my
senior, I mean my new school father who was just asking
how about my well being. He did seem like a pretty nice
senior. I smiled and replied his message before saving
his number as senior daniel. I decided to take a nap
before reading so that I could feel refreshed. My day was
a really long one.
I decided to take a nap before reading…..
A few hours later, I woke up a few minutes before eight
o’clock. I still felt like sleeping, but I knew I had to read
because tomorrow was my first paper in secondary
school. My sister was already done with her exams. She
was just in primary four so they always finished exams
and school early. Older cousins already told me about
secondary school and how I needed to read very well for
my exams because it was not the same as primary
school even though I used to come out as top of my
class. I read until it was twelve o’clock and went to bed
because I had to wake up early for school.
A week later, I was done with my exams, I was so happy
that finally I could watch my favourite shows that I
couldn’t watch during exams. When I got home, I went to
take a shower, change into comfortable clothes and went
into the sitting room immediately before Frank called me
to come take my food. I carried my food and went to sit
down on the couch closest to the television. Thank
goodness my sister wasn’t there, we would have had to
wrestle for the remote control and couch. While eating
and watching my show, my phone rang. When I saw the
caller id, I was happy because it was from uncle
cheatmaster so I picked it up without hesitation. My
princess, how are you?” he said. I told him I was fine and
that I just concluded my exams. He did sound happy for
me or maybe for himself. He told he hadn’t called me
since because he didn’t want to disturb me and my
exams. I smiled and sighed because I just saw him as a
nice man. Even though I had a father who cared about
me, I felt more comfortable and happier around uncle
cheatmaster. Not just because, he bought us gifts and all
but because he was always there for us. I could see the
love he had for us but I still couldn’t understand why he
wasn’t ready to settle down. Before he ended the call, he
told me, he was coming to pick me up tomorrow for our
outing and so I should get ready before it was 12:00pm. I
told him I needed to ask my parents for permission, but
he said he already asked them for me and they were fine
with it and so I agreed. “Goodnight, I love you”, he said. I
replied with “Goodnight,” but he called my name with a
little anger in his tone. “Yes?” I answered with confusion.
“You don’t like saying you love me too when I say I love
you or don’t you love me?” When he said this, I laughed
because I never expected him to say something like that
and so I apologized and innocently told him I loved him
too before he ended the call with a sigh.
The next day, when I woke up, I did my little house
chores before going to take a shower. After that, I went to
look for a nice cloth to wear. I brought out a purple
blouse that uncle Sam had gotten for me and one of my
black jeans. After dressing up, I combed my relaxed hair
and decided to leave it down. When I was done, I went to
the sitting room to wait for him. My sister was already
feeling so sad that I was being taken out without her so I
tried to console her and told her that it would be her turn
next time since uncle Sam said so. I gave her my phone
to play games to make her feel a little better but not long
after, it rang and so I collected it from her and picked the
call. It was uncle cheatmaster, he said he would be at the
house in five minutes and exactly five minutes later, he
was at the door. My sister quickly ran to hug him when
she heard his voice. She started acting really sad around
him and uncle cheatmaster immediately guessed what
was wrong so he promised her that it wouldbe her turn
next time and he would take just her out, he even
promised to buy her something when we go out. Her lips
began to curve into a smile and soon enough we all
departed in happiness. Uncle cheatmaster was just a
natural. He was good at everything, I just couldn’t believe
he could be so perfect in everything. We got into the car
and drove off.
On our way, he asked where I wanted to go first and I told
him anywhere he was willing to take me as I did not have
anywhere in mind yet so he said we would go have lunch
first and maybe I’ll be alive by then. I laughed when he
said so because I was actually hungry. I didn’t have
breakfast in the morning because I knew uncle
cheatmaster would spoil me with food and snacks when
we go out. After about one hour of driving and sleeping in
traffic, we finally got to sweet sensation, one of my
favourite restaurants. He parked and we both hopped out
of the car. When we got into the restaurant, we went
straight to order food at the counter. I ordered my usual
rice and roasted chicken with plantain and he ordered
grilled fish with rice and moi-moi. A meal he enjoyed
whenever we ordered food there. We took our tray of food
and went to look for a seat. We found one at the far end
of the restaurant, just in a corner and so went to sit there.
He smiled when we sat and I smiled back at him in
confusion. “I’m glad I’m here alone with you,” he finally
said. I just smiled at him, feeling so shy. He even
complimented me and called me his beautiful angel. My
shyness at that moment knew no bounds, but I felt happy
and different about the compliment. The way he
complimented me left me feeling like a woman, like I was
loved and I was at peace. We were having our lunch and
talking when my phone that was just right beside my tray
rang. I looked at the caller id and realized it was senior
Daniel. Looking back up, I noticed uncle cheatmaster
squeezing his face but I wanted to pick the call.
