Nice one . Not really a fan of romance ,especially those sacrificed on the altar of a good storyline but this your story is beautiful (small small with the hyperbole o). I cringed when the lead character professed his hatred for Biafra( because of woman) almost made me dislike the book ,but that depicts a good book
; one that can make me forget, for a second, that it's all fiction. More ink to your printer, and to my fellow readers; more thickness to your lenses; and to the pervs; more grease to your Vaseline

"No, Chike! I want to visit you" Dami said from the other side of the phone. She was obviously angry that for close to the seven months we had been dating, she hadn't been to my lodge. I understood her anger.

"Okay" I mumbled, succumbing to her.

I heard a relieved sigh from her side."When?" she asked.

Immediately looking around the room, and going through my schedule, it wasn't possible that we meet that day. The room was untidy, Obinna's boxers were littered around the room, it smelt terribly, the rug was sticky and somewhat wet. In conclusion, the state of the room was unhealthy and I knew it wasn't fit to entertain Damilola. She would surely scold me for being so dirty.

"Tomorrow" I managed to say "I'll come to your place and i'll bring you over" I reiterated.

I could sense the dissapointment but there was little I could do "Tomorrow?" she asked once more

"Promise" I said

Goodbyes were the next thing and she said hers with a "muah"--like a kiss. I was on top of the world and I didn't want to come down. I kissed my phone too, the second Obinna burst into the room, looking at me with his ridiculous eyes.

"You dun craze oo, why you dey kiss your phone?" he asked in his thick, funny Igbo-accented voice.

I shrugged, sinking into the bed "leave me oo" I replied childishly, covering my ears with my headset and clicked 'play' on my 'Boogey playlist'

Fikfaknuel, ur stories are really dope I must confess. Buh try not to leave ur characters for a long period of time, they might stop speaking to you and u may end up not completing ur story and also....not posting updates might make ur readers weary of the story itself and you wouldn't want any of that to happen. Please, do something about it bro. More grease to ur elbow.

Thanks bro. Work has been really tight coupled with the fact that I am working on like three novels (no joke).

But, because of you, I promise i'll finish this 'short' story before the demise of tomorrow.

The next day came as quickly as an onrushing tornado and I attested to the quip that suggests that no machine cleans faster than a man expecting his woman.

Funny but true. I was clad in sweat as I heaved like an exhausted elephant, looking around the room in achievement, and I looked as if I was waiting for an object in it to say "you did a good job."

I called Damilola and we met in her lodge. She had prepared a sumptous meal for me and I ate with so much gusto knowing that if I married her, the project plans of my stomach infrastructure was in good hands. She quickly took her bath and we set off.

It was a smooth ride on one of UNN's shuttle buses. The driver was an Igbo man whose smile was as charming as his words, embellished in proverbs, with which he spoke about, yet again; Biafra.

He said he was a kid when the war broke out and his father was a cocoa seller in Ibadan. The extremists in the area took up knives and guns and fearing for his live, and that of his only kid, his father, quite a rich man, left behind his wealth and ran back to Biafra. In the middle of his tale, the driver recounted an ugly tale about how a Nigerian soldier shot a pregnant woman point blank in the belly. She fell and her blood quickly mixed with the sand, like toothpaste. When he said this, a thick tear dropped from the side of his eye and no one could doubt the veracity of his story.

Damilola who'd been quietly listening all the while began crying softly. She raised her head and spoke in a loud voice, even though it strained, due to the emotions embedded in them. Any human would feel.

"The bloodshed was unnecessary and stupid. It makes me cry. Baba, sorry for the pain you had to watch. One love will eventually see us through. We are all Nigerians" she said.

The students inside the bus received her first words mildly but the last seemed to rouse their collective anger. In a conspiration of growling voices, they echoed their displeasure.

"I am not Nigerian--Abum Biafran"

"just, negodu rubbish this girl is saying"

"Nigeria is a failure"

I felt pity for myself and Damilola. Subject to public ridicule, it hurts I couldn't pacify her. Inside, I was indifferent to such matters concerning secession. I just seeked to love. It was a damp afternoon but the venomous noise in the bus made me sweat a little on the chest. With my hand placed firmly on her shoulder, and hers reaching over to my hip, we walked towards my room, and my lodge mates registered their surprise with ridiculous looks. I paid them no mind but inside, I was like a peacock, proudly showing off his feathers. She was mine.

We staggered into the room sharing a laugh after I sought to calm her nerves. It seemed to work. Once she settled on the bed, she took in the scent of the room in an inhale. She smiled and I was unreservedly proud that she repaid my efforts with her beautiful smile. I quickly opened the fridge and due to the absence of light, it stank a little, but I wiped a bottle clean with my hands, and turned to offer her the malt drink.

However, her face had a nolstagic look on it. Even my prowess with words still, I couldn't place the look on her face. Just the word, 'nolstagic' came to mind.

"who lives here?" she asked me

It was a dumb question, really.

"Me, of course" I replied, fighting hard to ensure that the irritation I felt didn't manifest in my vocals.

"I'm really sorry" she apologized profusely "just that here smells--familiar."

Now, this was getting weirder than I envisaged.
