Waiting For Her by Aaspot: 11:01am On May 17, 2018 |
Prologue Both students and workers could be seen moving in and out the popular main gate of the university of Benin, the sellers selling, the buyers, buying and the beggers, begging. Groups of small pillars could be seen arranged in a single file outside the main gate, each pillar separated from the other by a strong, long iron rod. The small pillars are meant for students to relax outside the main gate, lovers to catch up or girls to gossip. On one of this pillar sat a young man who seem to be observing the whole scenario, he seem to pay attention more on a particular begger, an old man who stops students to bore them with stories of how he is a pensioner and needs money to feed, some good and kind students gave him what they had while others, those who knew him well passed him by. From the way the young man stared at the begged, it was obvious the begger had once approached him maybe sometime in the past. The guy was putting on a short knicker and a T-shirt, his phone could be visibly seen on his left hand. The begged suddenly turned and seem to be coming towards the young man, on seeing this, the guy got up from the pillar and went away towards the opposite direction before the begger could get to him, " I am not waiting for you, I am waiting for her" He said to himself as he made to cross the road to the other side. source: www.a2spot.com/forums/topic/waiting-for-her/ 1 Like |

WAITING FOR HER EPISODE 1 Phone: 08188317495 ••••••√•••••••••√••••••••••√ Some months ago, I finished my pre-degree in the popular university of Benin, it has been approximately 3 months now. About a month ago, my Muslim girlfriend broke up with me, it has been exactly a month and five days. About three days ago, the online girlfriend which I thought I could use to ease away the pain of my ex girlfriend broke up with me also because she thought I didn't have interest in her, we only dated for five days, exactly five days 10 hours now. Everything about me wasn't fine, everything was shattering and worst still UNIBEN has bluntly refused to release our admission list, we direct entry students. I held up my phone hoping to write an episode of one of my numerous stories I do post online " Act of Faith" but no, the inspiration wasn't coming. " Gab!!" My dad shouted my name from the sitting room, I stood up sluggishly from the bed and headed towards the sitting room, I knew what he would be calling me for, it's either about my admission status or why I have refused to wash his car which he asked me to wash since morning, it was either of those two, nothing more. " Sir " I answered as I got to the sitting room where he was lying on a couch and shaking his leg like a woman waiting for her son who she had plans of beating. " Eh ehen, Gab, what are they saying about you people admission stuff?" He asked , " Nothing daddy, they haven't said anything yet about it" I told him,I was tired of his everyday question about my admission status, it was annoying. " Are you sure you are following the website?" He asked , only if he knew it was called " Kofa page". " Yes dad, I am following their website " I said trying hard not to laugh, " Hmm, okay go, I just pray you get this admission " He said and continued with the football match he was viewing. " God, please, help me, let UNIBEN consider me for admission this year, I promise to serve you for ever " I prayed as I entered into my room, " God , I want to leave home" I hit my bed stand with anger , I felt the pain on my leg but my anger surpassed it. I was tired of staying at home, I was tired of going to the football pitch everyday and seeing my ex girlfriend play love with her new boyfriend, I don't know what it meant but they are always present any time my team has a match with another team, she was always there with the new guy, yes he looks more handsome than I am, he the perfect description of a big boy, the kind of guy she wanted me to be, but I am not that kind of guy, I happen to be just a simple guy that just like to keep it simple, but the last time I checked, that is not the kind of guy a girl wish for. I didn't know when I slept off but when i opened my eyes again, it was 9:30pm. I stretched my hand for my phone which always sleep with me, I stared at it for any missed call, but who would call me? I logged in to my kofa page again, I knew I was still going to see the same status, submitted, but I had to still check. I put In my login details and it soon started to load, the page came on and I was surprised at what I saw, the status had changed, it was no more submitted, it now read clearly, Admitted. I quickly scrolled down the page to see the course I was given, I closed my eyes as I swipe the phone up to the bottom of the page, " Biochemistry " it read, " Yes!" I shouted to myself, I have been admitted, I am now to pursue a degree, ( BSCBCH) , my happiness new no bound as I sprang up from the bed, at last, I was now at the verge of becoming a two hundred level biochemistry student. " Daddy" I shouted as I ran into his room, he didn't answer to my shout rather he stared at me expecting what I was to say, " I have been admitted o" I shouted laughing, " Really, which course?" He asked me happily, " Biochemistry daddy, industrial biochemistry " I shouted happily, " Hmmm" his countenance changed, " But you said you got 12 points out of 15?" He asked me, " Yes I got twelve point" I concurred, " 12 point is enough to get you Medical lab science or course like Pharmacy " he told me, " Daddy, Uniben gave me this, I am okay with it " I told him, " Are you sure you want the Biochemistry or should I call prof to change it for you?" He asked me, " Change what? I want the Biochemistry " I told him, " Okay then, it's your choice" He told me and faced the other side of his big bed, I walked away from his room although a little bit angry but not too angry to cover up my happiness. My phone vibrated on my hand, " Ah, who is calling me today? " I asked myself as I picked the call from the unknown number, " Who is this?" I asked in a little bit of a calm voice, " Gabriel, it's me o, Victedo, this is my dad's number" Came the voice of one of my friends back then during our pre degree program. " Victor, you remember me today?" I asked him, " Gabriel, I did not forget you, things are not just good. Have you seen your admission status? " he asked me, " Yes o, I just see am now" I laughed, " What were you given?" he asked , " BCH " I answered. " Wow, biochemistry, that's nice o" He told me, " What about you?" I asked ," Guy Uniben finish me o" His voice was sorrowful, " Wethin dey knack you?" I asked , " Na AEB , they give me o" he said, " Wooow, AEB, that sounds like a big course, congratulations bro" I told him, sincerely, I was happy for him. " Guy, calm down, do you know what AEB mean?" He asked me, " No oo, but I do hear it very well, it is a very famous course" I answered, " Guy, na Animal and Environmental Biology oooo" he lamented on phone, I tried to hold myself from laughing, I noticed I could not hold it and quickly put an end to the call as I bursted into laughter, myself and Victor are the same set of people that do sit in front of the class then during the course of our pre degree program, we would gladly boast to anyone that cares to listen of how ambitious we are to get Medicine, but today, what is the case, BCH And AEB. . . .

Waiting For Her Episode: Episode 2 •••••••√••••••••••√•••••••••√• That was how it got started, about eight days after seeing my admission later, I made to start my journey of life, I made to go to school. I sat on my bed the night before I was to go to school thinking about how simple I was going to live when I get to school, " I swear, I won't follow any girl again in my life" I said to myself, not after what the first one did to me. I looked at my phone which was as usual lying beside me, It was about go to off as the battery percent was just 5. " Let me call her and tell her I will be going away" I thought to myself as I picked up my phone and dialed the number of my ex girlfriend, she picked on the second trial. " Hello who is this?" She asked, so she has even deleted my number from her phone? " It's me, Gabriel " I said swallowing my spit, " Ah, ah, Gabi, hope no problem, this one you are calling me this night?" She asked, " No, there is no problem, I just want to tell you that I have gotten admission " I told her trying hard not to stammer, " okay o, at last, you won't finally grow old at home" She laughed, I took it as an insult but also laughed with her. " Anyways, good luck o and please try to be mature when you get to school" Came another insult, I was speechless on what to say and then my phone helped me put an end to the call by switching off by itself, the battery has gone flat. " It's not your fault now, I was the one that called you" I thought as I went towards our backyard to put on the generator. ° ° ° " Gabriel, take my words seriously, I have passed through this phase of life so you should know that anything I tell you now is from experience" My dad started, of was around 11:00pm and we were the only one awake, " Okay dad" I answered him, " All things associated with being bad happens at night, Gabriel , try to avoid walking out at night, don't night walk" He said cleaning his face with his Handkerchief, " It's by walking at night that they initiate people into cult, it's as easy as that" He said, I nodded. " Don't follow any friend to anywhere you don't know, any friend that tells you come make I go show you something for somewhere, Gabriel don't follow" He continued, " Okay" I answered, he talked more for about thirty minutes, giving me advises he had given me before. " Gabriel, forget the pride, live for what you have come for, live like you came for your degree. Gabriel, from all I have said to you this night, I haven't mentioned anything about girls, I won't ask you not to have a girlfriend, as a matter of fact, I am not there to watch you, you are a teenager , you are free to even keep girlfriends, but from all you do, get wisdom" that was the only important thing I got that night " In all your doings, get wisdom" . °°° That was about some months ago, am now a student of the school, University Of Benin, living life gently and Simple, I have tried to keep on with my father's words. I live outside campus with two of my friends, Matt and Victedo. I knew Matt during my junior secondary school while Victedo, we met during the days of my pre degree. I also got a lot of good and smart friends at school, I got Roman, Praise, the most troublesome but best girl I have ever met , Preshy, there are actually two preshies ( permit the word). I also got mercy and lastly, I got Veronica, the one who changed my life. I first met Veronica one morning, I had come to school early that day to submit a particular physics assignment, the lecturer had threatened to use it as our test, though I knew he will not but according to one of the advises my dad gave me " Summit any thing the lecturer wants". I sat on the pavement in front of the physics lab, Roman was with me and we were busy comparing our assignments. " Gabriel, seriously, I never thought of this your idea " he said staring at my own, " Na me be the man now" I laughed, " You dey solve o" he praised, " I tell you say I go do am" I laughed again. " Please, let me have a look , I couldn't solve it" A light feminine voice said beside us, she had been sitting beside us but none of us paid attention to her initially. I turned to face her so also did Roman, " Give her the paper now" I told Roman, " Because na woman now, you wan collect your paper from me bah?" Roman asked and the lady smiled revealing her well spaced teeth, I smiled back. " Please, I will like to copy from it, I won't lie to you, am not good at physics" She begged, " Okay now, copy, you are free" I said to her smiling sheepishly. " Thank you" She said as she brought her Biro and started to copy, " What is your name?" I summoned up courage , " Veronica" She said looking up at me, " Hope you don't want to toast me because am copying your assignment?" She asked, " No, no, no, I just feel like asking?" I lied, the truth of the matter was that I had fallen, it was what they term love at first sight, she wasn't too beautiful, she just happen to be an average girl but whatsoever it was that pushed me to her or attracted me to her, I don't know. The feelings grew immediately, I didn't know how it happened I don't know. That was how I met her veronica, I started to love her from that day, but that's isn't who I am waiting for, it was through her that I met who I am waiting for till date. . . .

Waiting For Her Episode: Episode 3 ••••••••••√•••••••√••••••••√ Veronica is a well endowed medium height girl, when I mean well endowed, I mean she has all a guy will want in a woman. When I first met Veronica, I had only one room mate then, that was Matt, Victedo came about some weeks after I met her. On getting home that same day, the same day I gave her my physics assignment to copy, I narrated everything to Matt. ” Guy, you won’t believe it o, i met a girl today” I told Matt who was lying on the bed , he was staring at a physics textbook which to him he was reading. One thing about Matt, he hates girls. After his first girlfriend broke up with him, he developed a big hatred for all girls, he believes girls are all the same. ” You met a girl, is that why you are smiling like that?” He asked dropping the book, ” Guy, you need to see this girl, she is glorious” I told him, ” Gabi, are you the one telling me this?” He asked me, ” The last time I checked, you promised not to have anything to do with girls after your now ex broke your heart” He reminded me, ” I know, those were just mouth making now” I said, ” Hmmm, what is her name? Is she beautiful or ugly, how is she like to have captured you just in one day?” He asked , ” For her name, she is Veronica, she is of medium height and how she captured me in one day, I can’t explain” I told him, ” You haven’t still answered one of the questions, is she beautiful?” He asked again, ” What am I to do with her beauty? ” I asked him, ” Because I believe ugly girls have ugly hearts just like their faces” He said, ” Any proof for that?” I asked him, ” Of course, I don’t say things am not sure of, remember your ex has an ugly face, and from the way she dumped you, I can boldly come to a conclusion that she has an ugly heart also” He laughed, I laughed also. ” Guy, remember your ex happens to be very beautiful, but remember, she dated you alongside three other guys, am sure that not a typical of a beautiful heart ” I told him and his laughing subsided. ” Okay, let stop insult, is veronica beautiful? ” he asked again, ” Yeah, she is beautiful” I told him, ” So you already love her just in one day?” He asked me, ” Does it take two days to love? ” I asked him back, ” Hmm, your own love, I never see o” He said opening his physics textbook again. I and Veronica became tight friends as time went by, I also got to know that she also did the same pre degree program like I did but we never met ourselves during those days. For the first few times I stayed with her, I thought she was a girl with absolutely good characters, though there was nothing between us but deep down in my mind, I had already signed her my girlfriend, I am the only one who knows she is my girlfriend, she herself doesn’t even know, funny isn’t it? As time went by , I later got to discover that she was about a month older than I am, but as they say, age is just a number, I still wanted her. Then on this particular day, about three weeks after we met, one of our lecturers decided to conduct a test, an impromptu test. That day, Veronica as usual was sitting just by me. Only few students were prepared for the test, I was among the lucky few. I literally taught Veronica everything, I allowed her copy my script. ” Gabriel, please, when you are going home, please call my phone, I want to go and eat” She told me after the test, ” No problem” I told her, I was happy I was privileged to teach her. We still had two more lectures for that day, the lectures were not important but I decided to stay behind for it, it takes nothing to wait behind. After the lectures, Veronica had not still come back, at this point, I was now wondering if to eat takes this long. ” I don’t even have card” I thought to myself as I made to call her, ” This is how I will just waste this hundred naira now ” I hissed as I walked towards basement complex where things were sold, it was a stone throw from our department but you still have to walk a bit. In basement complex, there are shops where food are being sold, there are shops where snacks are sold and we also have the cyber cafes. I stood in front of one of the numerous shops buying card, the woman selling the card was taking long and it was getting me impatient, I started to move my body in a way to show her that I was in a hurry, it was in course of doing this that my eyes caught Veronica in one of the cyber cafes, she was laughing and gisting happily with a guy, their sitting position alone was enough evidence that he was her boyfriend. ” Take your card” The woman told me, ” Thank you ma” I said as I took the card and sneaked out of the place, ” Hello veronica” I called her standing where I could see her clearly without her seeing me, ” Yeah Gabi, are you guys done with lectures?” She asked me , ” Yes oo, where are you now ?” I asked her, ” Dear, I decided to go read in the library , I can’t just waste my time on those useless courses” She said laughing, I also laughed. ” Okay now, am still at the department, come meet me there” I said, ” Okay dear” She answered and I put an end to the call. I saw her hug and pecked the guy before leaving the shop, ” Wow, this is wonderful” I laughed as I increased my pace towards our department where she came there to meet me, I pretended like nothing happened. • • ” Gabriel my man, that girl just want to use you to get what she wants” Vuctedo told me as I narrated all that happened to him and Matt that day, ” What does she want?” I asked him, ” She doesn’t want a carry over ” Matt said opening his physics textbook.. . . .

Waiting For Her Episode: Episode 4 ••••••••√••••••••••••••√•••••••••√ ” What do you mean?” I asked Matt, ” Just look at this, ever since you met this girl, you have been the one helping her with her assignments and her practical works, from the recent one, you now even help her in tests. If it continues this way, you will still be the same person to help her In exams” Matt told me, ” The only reason she is coming to you for help is because you are among the league of bright students in your department, you are the only one thinking she loves you, as a matter of fact, you are the only one loving here” Matt said, Victedo agreed with a nod. ” You know. You can’t be sure, we might just be judging her wrongly” I said, ” Then how can you explain what happened today? ” Matt asked, ” I don’t blame you anyways, you are in love” Matt said. ” Gabriel, in as much as I can’t justify what Veronica has done, I must advise you to be patient, because as they say, love is patient” Victedo said sitting on a reading chair. ” Gabi, as you love, use your head ” Matt added, ” I won’t want you to jump into this girl, watch her first” he concluded. ” I think I know what to do” I said as I got up from my bed, ” What?” They asked in union, ” Just don’t worry, watch me” I said to them and they nodded, truth be told, I knew not what to do. I couldn’t read that evening, on a norm, I do read three hours every passing day. This evening was different just because of a girl. Lot of thoughts crossed my head as I laid facing the ceiling that day, to me this was another heartbreak, thank God the relationship wasn’t deep, I meant the relationship only I knew about. ” But God wait o, why must I be different? Why can’t I just be like any other guy? Why can’t I just have a trust worthy and loving girlfriend like other guys?” I asked myself not knowing I had spoken it out loud, ” You know why?” Victedo who was on his book asked, ” Why?” I asked back, ” Because you are too simple. Look at you, you got all you want, the money, the height and to some extent, the face” he said laughing, I smiled. ” But girls don’t like guys who are too simple, girls want that big boy, that guy that can dress up to impress the ladies, you should understand what am talking about mehnnn” Victedo said laughing, thank God Matt wasn’t around that evening, he would have detailed victedo’s points. ” See guy, any girl that will like me must like me like this o, I don’t like to be a big boy and I believe very soon, I will have a girl” I said, ” Keep hoping bro, God will provide” He said and returned to his book, just then my phone rang, talk more of the devil, Veronica. ” Hey Gabi” She greeted, ” Hi Vero” I greeted smiling, ” How are you doing now?” She asked, ” Am fine o, and you? ” I asked back, ” Am fine my dear” She said. ” Have you done that physics 212 assignment?” She asked, ” Yes, I have solved them” I answered, Victedo turned to me and smiled. ” Okay, please don’t forget to come early tomorrow dear, I haven’t done mine” She said, ” Hmm, okay o, have heard you” I told her and with that, she ended the call. ” Guy, don’t tell me you are going tomorrow” Victedo said immediately I dropped the call, ” Am I mad? Go where? Am not going o, I just gave her hope” I laughed, ” That’s my man ” Victedo also laughed. ” I was thinking you will be a fool to go” Victedo continued, ” You should trust me now, I no fit do that kind thing” I told him. ” What’s time now?” He changed the topic, ” 5:35pm” I answered checking my phone, ” Oboy, let’s stroll out now” he said standing up from his reading chair, ” Stroll to where?” I asked him, ” To sport complex or any other place where we can feel the cool breeze of the night” he told me. ” Okay now, let’s go ” I got up and put on my jacket, ” You can’t tell if we can even catch some girls” he added laughing, I simply hissed. We strolled to sport complex, luckily for us, we met some group of boys playing football, we gladly watched them play till about 6:30 when we decided to go home. ” Those boys can’t even play self” Victedo said as we entered our street, ” You can’t play either” I told him, ” As if you can play” He countered, ” I never said they didn’t play well” I told him . ” Victedo, can you see that girl? The one putting on a brown gown?” I asked him looking in the direction of a young girl who was walking towards us, “Yes , what about her?” He asked, ” That girl was in the same class with us during our pre-degree program” I told him, ” I never saw her o” He said looking directly at the girl who was looking at the ground as she walked, ” You don’t look at people like that” I told him, ” But she is beautiful o” He smiled, ” What’s her name?” He asked me, ” I only know her facially, we never spoke to each other before, I don’t know her name” I told him, ” she is beautiful” he said again as the girl passed us, ” Which department was she thrown to?” He asked , ” Guy, I said I don’t even know her name, how should I know her department?” I asked him back, ” Oh, sorry, I forgot you don’t know anything” He laughed and we walked back home in peace. • • • I was already in the bathroom early the next morning, the time was still about 6:00am. I rushed my bathing and dressed up for school . ” Gabi, don’t tell me you are going to school to give your assignment to Veronica after all you said yesterday?” Victedo asked getting up from his bed, ” Fool, the lecturer asked us to summit as early as 7:00 this morning, see the time is already 6:30″ I told him, ” Abeg rush o, before you won’t summit now and you will say am the one pursuing you from your village” He laughed, as I carried my school bag and hit the road. I got to school before 7:00 and headed towards basement not to summit the assignment but because that was where Veronica will always wait for me to bring my assignment to her, as a matter of fact, we are not to summit the assignment till 2:00pm that day. I met veronica sitting at our usual spot, ” Good morning Veronica ” I greeted her as I brought out my assignment and handed it to her, truly, love is something you can’t fight.. . . .

Waiting For Her Episode: Episode 5 ••••••√••••••√•••••√•• That was how I continued, I continued to love veronica though I knew she had someone else. I didn’t also stop giving her my assignments, I thought that would make her love me but my thinking were just like that of an immature guy. Victedo and Matt continued to advise me on what to do and what not to do but I never listened to them. ” Gabriel, have you ever thought of what would happen if you refuse to give Veronica your assignment just for a day?” Matt asked me one fateful evening, ” I don’t want it to happen” I told him. ” sometimes, you make me want to believe this girl is controlling you from her village” Victedo said from the kitchen, ” Why?” I asked, ” You just want to do everything to please her, you fear what she might do if you offend her” he said, he was right. ” To me, I think her reaction towards you when she is angry will tell if she loves you or not” Victedo continued. ” Just try this, the next time she asks you for your assignment, try tell her you are not giving her and let’s see what happens” Matt said, ” Don’t tell her you haven’t done it o, just tell her you can’t give her” Victedo added. ” Guys, I know this girl doesn’t love me, I only want to make the love grow In her, love as they say is patient” I told them, ” There is a way a girl who wish to love you in future will behave compared to the girl who has no atom of love for you at all” Matt said, ” Just try tell her no for the first time, and let’s be there when you do that” Matt concluded while I nodded. Their advise was good and worth doing but I got a problem, I was scared of loosing her before having her. The next time we were given another tough assignment was about two days later, I have thought about what Matt and Victedo told me and I have decided to do as they instructed. I have also been thinking about many other things, why will she only call me whenever she needs to do her assignment? She never calls to greet or gist, just to ask for assignment. About 6:00pm of that particular day, she called. Matt and Victedo were with me in the room and thought they didn’t say a thing, I knew they were paying attention to what I will tell Veronica. ” Hello Vero” I greeted, ” Gabi dear, how far?” She asked, ” Am fine thank God” I answered. ” Have you done the assignment? ” she asked me, ” Yeah, I have done it” I said , I was now sweating. ” I trust you now, please let’s meet at our normal spot tomorrow” She said and made to put an end to the call, ” I can’t come” I quickly put in before she ended the call, ” What did you say?” She asked, she probably didn’t hear me well. ” I said I can’t come to basement tomorrow ” I told her, this time I was bold. I could see Victedo giving me a thumb up, Matt had his physics textbook to his face. ” Why can’t you come, any problem?” She asked, ” No, there is nothing wrong, I don’t just feel like giving you my assignments again, I think you should learn to do things yourself” I said, ” See this Mumu o” was what she said next, I was taken a bit aback by shock. ” Just because I am helping you by copying your assignment,you now think you can insult me bah? ” She asked , I was quiet not knowing what to say. ” I don’t blame you” She fired on, ” Aunty do and get off the phone jare” Matt shouted from where he was sitting, thank God I got someone to talk for me. ” Who is that?” Veronica asked, ” Wholala, the brother of tatala” Victedo answered, I could not help but laugh. ” Abeg get off the phone jare, at your age you are still copying assignment from your mate, and your parent will be at home thinking their daughter is struggling to become somebody in life, nonsense ” Matt added, ” Let her be there deceiving herself ” Victedo added, ” Is it me they are talking to like that? ” Veronica stammered, ” No ooo. It’s that aunty beside you” I said laughing, ” I regret ever knowing you” She said, ” Get out my friend” Matt shouted and I put an end to the call. ” Thank you guys” I said as I dropped the call, ” Don’t mention, don’t mention” Victedo said, ” That’s what you should have done to her all this while” Matt said, ” The girl just want to use you and get first class o” Victedo said, ” Don’t mind her” I said and kept quiet, I was thinking about Veronica, we were to harsh on the poor girl. Veronica didn’t talk to me again for weeks, as a matter of fact, she now has another guy she sticks with . I was jealous at first but as time went on, I began to forget everything and moved on with my normal and simple life hoping that God will give me a good girl at the right time . The love I got for Veronica soon faded off and I started to consider her as a non living been, I wasn’t bothered about her again and we never spoke again until one day. On this particular day, I had come early to school so as to summit my chemistry practical assignment. I saw Veronica some blocks from where I was, she was with her workbook looking for who to copy from as usual, unluckily for her, the new fool she copies from was not around. I removed my gaze from her and opened my manual to go through it in case of any mistake. ” Gabriel” I heard someone call from behind after about ten minutes, I didn’t need to turn to know it was Veronica, ” Yes what is it?” I asked as I turned slowly to face her, shockingly, she wasn’t alone this time, she was with another girl, a very beautiful average height girl, I recognized her immediately as the girl I had showed Victedo, the one that lives in my street. ” What is it?” I asked veronica again ignoring the girl, Veronica couldn’t say anything, she was obviously ashamed of herself. ” Please, we want you to help us with our assignment ” The girl said taking my workbook.

Waiting For Her
Episode: Episode 6
••••√•••••√•••••√•√√√•
The girl I later discovered is Mitchell, she is
beautiful and so? I didn't try take the workbook
back from her, I let have it, you know, as first
impression. She alongside Veronica copied the
assignment together, Veronica on her own side
couldn't say a thing as she copied. About 30
minutes later, Veronica was done copying and she
left without even a thank you, I wasn't expecting it
anyways. I was now left with Mitchell who was still
engrossed with what she was writing. " Hey, you
didn't finish it, you left some place blank " she
looked up to me and caught me staring at her, "
Yes, I forgot to do that one, anyways, I have it in
my jotter" I told her as I handed my jotter to her, "
Thank you" She said as she copied it into her
manual, surprisingly, she also copied it into my
manual for me. " Wow, thank you for helping me
copy it" I appreciated, " Thank you for allowing me
to copy" She smiled, " We will be seeing " She
added and walked away, my gaze followed her until
she was out of sight. And that was how it all
started, that was how I met Mitchell. She also
happen to be in the same department as me but we
were never close then. She doesn't know me but I
always knew her right from our days in the pre
degree program, I have seen her a lot of times . We
got more close to each other more than just the
normal assignment friends stuff. She was also very
much in love with church, she would always tell me
that the reason why she isn't serious with her
studies is because of church activities. Truly, she
wasn't doing well with her studies but she was
willing to learn, she always wanted me to put her
through . We continued as normal class friends until
one day , she told me she would come and spend
the night at my place so that I can teach her till day
break. I was shocked at first, I never believe such
high classed girl would lay down such a proposal. "
Are you serious?" I asked her as I sat by her side in
class, she was reading her bible. " Of course I am,
or you don't want me to come? " she asked looking
up at me, " Why won't I, you are free to come" I told
her smiling happily. " But I am not coming alone o,
I am coming with Veronica" She announced , "
Why?" I asked not knowing when the words had
spilled off my mouth, "I feel more secured if she is
there and you can as well teach her" Mitchell said, I
nodded with a fake smile, I was happy she was
coming to see me, but the fact that Veronica is also
coming doesn't go well with me.
I ran off class the moment we were done with
lectures for that day, I first went to the ATM and
withdrew some money with which I bought
detergents which should be used to wash my toilet
and kitchen, I also bought some other things I can't
remember. I didn't bother to drop my bag as I got
home before setting to work, I arranged the room
and wash all that needed to be washed, I didn't
forget to clean my gas cylinder that was looking
like it hadn't been taken care of for about a decade.
" Gabriel, what is it, why are you arranging the
house today? " Matt and Victedo would ask me at
interval, " You know that girl I told you about,
Mitchell?" I started, " The one you say is very
beautiful?" Matt asked me, " Yes, that one " I agreed
with him, " She is coming to sleep over today" I
announced. " is that why you now want to kill
yourself? You should have told us and we will gladly
help you" Matt said getting hold of our small
broom. " let me go and mob the ceiling " Victedo
put in and we all bursted into laughter, " If after all
this arrangement, the girl now turns out to be ugly
as your ex girlfriend ehen, I won't forgive you" Matt
said as he swept the floor, " Was his ex that ugly?"
Victedo asked, " My brother, she was that ugly"
Matt stretched, " But she wasn't ugly to me o" I
said, " She was beautiful" I added. " With the way
you are talking now, an having this funny feeling
that this Mitchell girl will be ugly" Matt said, " Just
watch and see" I told him and continued with what I
was doing.
" Guys, come let's talk" I told them after we had
finished arranging the house, " Talk, we are listening
" Victedo said, " See, if you want to go to the toilet,
better go now, especially you Matt, its not when the
girl come that you will now destroy the whole place
with smell" I faced Matt, " Guy, the girl herself no
matter how beautiful she is do go to toilet and I
assure you, I am a learner in her side" Matt said
and we all laughed, " Abeg, you guys should try and
comport yourself when she comes, you guys should
not fight o, I know the two of you, please behave" I
begged them, " Okay sir" Victedo said lying on the
bed, " As for me, I won't put up any other behaviour
o, I will be myself" Matt said, " We will all be
ourselves but let's just behave" I said, " Okay " he
answered and also laid on the bed. I looked around
the room to see where need to be touched, but to
me , all was perfect. The time was just to seven so
I picked up my phone to do business, sorry I didn't
tell you guys, I sell books online , not books
exactly, buy my stories which I sell in PDF form just
to have something doing. At around 7:30pm, the
cloud changed, the cool breeze of the evening filled
my room, it wanted to rain. Not up to ten minutes
later, the rain began to pour, it started heavily and
didn't look like it was going to stop. My phone
came on, Mitchell was calling. " Hello Gabi, if this
rain doesn't stop, am sorry I can't come o" she said,
" okay Ma" I simply answered and she ended the
call. I stared at the phone as the screen went off, "
Rain, I beg you in the name of God, please stop" I
prayed with all my heart as I knelt down facing the
ceiling. 1 Like |

Waiting For Her Episode: Episode 7 •••••••√••••••√••••••√ The rain continued to pour till about 9:00pm when it suddenly reduced. I hissed , " She can't come by this time" I said to myself as I placed my head on the table , I was angry. " She will come next time bro" Matt laughed, Victedo was now sleeping. " This rain ehen" I thought to myself as I hissed again. Suddenly I felt my phone vibrate and i looked up, it was ringing and the caller was Mitchell, I picked it up immediately. " Please can you still come?" I asked her , " Hmmm, only if you will come out to pick me o, am scared of the night" She said, " That's is not a problem now" I laughed happily, " Where should I pick you?" I asked her, " That hotel before your house" She said and I nodded, " Just call me when you are coming" I told her, " Am already coming oga" She shouted, " Okay, on my way" I shouted as I took my favourite red jacket and put it on, the night was cold. I walked alone in my lonely street like a brave guy, but deep down inside me, I was praying that I shouldn't encounter any danger. I got to the hotel and it was as noisy as it always was. I stood beside a pole waiting for her, I waited for about ten minutes later before I saw her coming with another guy, I walked towards them. " Good Evening " I shook hands with the guy and also with her. " He is my house mate, I begged him to escort me here" She said, " Ah, thank you Bros " I shook hands with him again, " Thank you so much" I said collecting her bag from her. " Okay, Mitchell, I will be leaving now" The guy said and shook hands with me again, " Okay, bye tony" She said to him and we began to walk towards my house. " Is Veronica already in your place?" She asked me, " No, she is not there" I said happily, " Why? Let's go to her house and pick her o" She said pulling me back, " No, let's leave her, she will come another day" I said hoping to convince her but mission impossible. " No, we planned to come together, what will she say of Me if she finds out I came to your place alone ?" She asked , " Please let's go pick her, her house is not far" She pulled me harder. " Okay" I obliged as I changed direction and together we went to Veronica's house. Mitchell went in and called her out, " Evening Veronica" I greeted coldly, " Evening Gabriel" She answered as we all went to my house. We didn't say much on the way , it would have been better if it was just Mitchell with me. Matt was still awake when we got home, " Good evening o" he greeted as he paid attention to the movie he was watching, he was probably surprised why there were two girls. None of the girls answered him and for a guy like Matt, he didn't care. Victedo was still on the bed sleeping, he never jokes with his sleep. " Why is your bag this heavy?" I asked her, " I bought bread, milo and milk forget the three of us to take tea" She said bringing out a roll of Milo, " I don't eat bread" I lied, " And you shouldn't have bothered about buying the Milo and Milk, I got provisions" I pointed to my kitchen, there was a tin of Milo and Milk there ( If I don't eat bread, what was I doing with a tin of milk and Milo, cheap lie ) " Who doesn't eat bread?" She asked, " Me doesn't " I answered smiling. " Its a lie, the first time we met, I offered him biscuit and he lied that he doesn't eat biscuit so that he won't take it from me" Veronica put in smiling. Yeah, I forgot to tell you guys, she had come to my house about thrice before we quarreled, it was on one of those occasions that she gave me a kind of biscuit, I lied that I don't eat biscuit. The truth is that I hate taking things from girls, I felt I should be the one giving them. " Why are you lying? " Mitchell asked me, " Okay, I eat bread but not this type of bread" I explained. She only nodded and made tea, Veronica refused to make tea, she only ate bread. That night I taught them to the best of my ability and escorted them home the next morning. That was how it began, Mitchell came to my house two more times with Veronica and then she started coming alone, we became close and the love for her started to grow in me. She also got close to Matt and Victedo. Myself with her always went to school together, she felt free sleeping over at my place and all was going well. I also used to opportunity to teach her to the best of my ability, and i also tried to put her back on track since our exam was approaching, she would often call me the angel that God sent to help her, " That's why my name is Gabriel, angel Gabriel" I would always tell her and she would always laugh it out, I like it when she laughs ( like a witch).. I don't know how it was but at times I do feel she was trying to pass a message that I should date her, but you know man can't be too sure and I never wanted to break our friendship. Matt and Victedo would always urge me to go ask her out before someone else does so but I would simply smile and answer " if she is for me, even if someone else takes her, I will wait for her" . We got very close to each other and my friend Roman started to ask me funny questions, " How is your girlfriend?" He would ask me anytime he sees me, " She isn't my girlfriend " I would defend, Roman has a big mouth, if tell him she is my girlfriend, the rumour will spread around and that's is obviously a false rumour. One fateful day during our exams, she told me she was coming to my house as usual, she promised to come and I believed she would. I waited patiently for her call of me to come and pick her but it never came, the time was after nine and I was getting worried. I called her but she wasn't picking. " Matt, am coming, I need to go look for this girl" I told Matt , " wait, I will go with you" He said, " What about me?" Victedo asked, " Stay at home and watch over the food" I told him as I stormed out of the room in anger . I and Matt walked in the darkness of the night looking for a girl we don't know her whereabout, we walked to her house and stopped at her gate, it Was locked. "Let's go back" I told Matt, " how are you sure this girl is fine?" matt asked, " By God grace, she is fine" I said as my phone vibrated, it was Veronica calling, she has been calling all day to ask questions about the next day's paper, " Vero, am busy now, will call you later" I told her in a rush, she only hissed and put an end to the call. I went back home With Matt feeling uneasy, I could now be seen shaking. I jumped on the bed immediately I entered the room, " We didn't see her" I told Victedo, the time was now about 10:,00pm. Matt walked into the kitchen to dish himself some food when he suddenly ran back to the room, " I heard a strange sound from the window" He shouted as he held tight to the door, " Which strange Sound?" I asked looking towards the window, I saw nothing Suddenly, there was a loud, strange laugh. . . . . To read more Like and Follow our facebook page A2spot or visit our site www.a2spot.com |

Waiting For Her Episode: Episode 8 •••••••√•••••••√•••••√ I sprang up immediately and adjusted myself to the other side of the bed not facing the window, ” Come and open the main door for me jare” Mitchell shouted from the window, I breathed in relief as I took the key to the main compound door and went out to open it. She came in smiling to me but I didn’t smile back, ” Good evening Gabi” she greeted me, ” Good evening” I simply answered and went into the room. ” Matt, so you can fear like this?” She laughed as she came into the room, ” My sister, man must be careful o” Matt answered, ” Mitchell welcome ” Victedo greeted, ” Victor, how far?” She asked him, but no reply came back, just a nod. I took to one of the reading tables in our room, she sat on the second one opposite me, a table was separating us. ” This one you are squeezing your face like this, hope no problem?” She asked, ” No problem” I replied coldly as Matt and Victedo went to take their food from the kitchen. ” Where is Gabi’s food? ” she asked them, ” Its in the kitchen” Matt answered, ” Go and eat now” she told me, ” Not hungry yet” I replied her and opened my textbook. ” Let’s start” I told her, on a normal day, I won’t teach her until we have talked and play for a long time, ” Ah, With this your face like this, I can’t learn o” she told me and I closed the book, ” What’s wrong with you now? ” she shouted this time, ” You started this first o, once I start my own, dont just think of getting upset” She said and opened her book, I didn’t still answer her. ” Is it because I came late, see, it’s because I have to cook at home and arrange the house, am sorry” She begged but yet, I didn’t still answer. By now, Victedo who was behind us was ready signalling to me to forgive her and talk to her, Matt was only smiling, he was the only one who understood what was happening to me. I and Matt had been together since secondary school, he is my best friend and he know a lot about me. He knows it is a safety measure when I keep shut whenever I am angry, I happen to be a stammer and when I force myself to talk when I am angry, I find it hard to bring the words out and I might end up slapping whosoever got me angry, if its happens to be a boy, it might result into a fight and if its a girl, she might end up crying which I won’t like. So you see, its a safety measure to keep shut when Mitchell was busy interrogating me, that was the reason why Matt was smiling anger giving me thumbs up. ” Gabriel so you don’t want to talk to me bah, am going to my house, please what’s the time?” She asked Matt, I didn’t say anything, Matt interceded for me. ” Please don’t go, he is only angry because you came late, he was scared so I think he is trying to recover” Matt told her, ” Is this how he does whenever he is angry?” She asked him staring from me to him and from him to me. ” Don’t mind him jare” Matt said with a wave of hand, she turned to face me. ” Stop this now” She said. Now, Matt was no longer giving me thumbs up, he was now frowning , I only smiled, there was nothing I could do about my temper. ” Just know that you started this, when u start mine, don’t just think of getting angry” She shouted again flinging her book open, ” Let’s start” She said and I nodded as I opened my textbook. ” Where did we stop last?” I asked calmly, ” Wow, so you can even talk?” She asked rhetorically, I kept mute. ” I don’t like this o” She said , and then let out a long hiss. ” Where did we stop last?” I asked again, ” Dont teach me again, if you want to use this type of voice, just ask me questions” She said and I nodded. I asked her about ten questions and she got only two, ” And you are even smiling, out of ten, you got just two” I said , I was now angry again. ” I haven’t read them all, I am trying ” She laughed, ” Keep shut jare, you are not encouraging ” I shouted in anger and hissed, ” I am trying” She said in a cracked voice and that was it, she was crying. . . .

Waiting For Her Episode: Episode 9 •••••√••••••√•••••••√ ” Jesus” I said as I saw tears falling down her cheeks, I couldn’t believe it, for Christ sake she was crying. I was confused and I didn’t know what to do but on the long run, I drew her head to my chest ” Am sorry ” I said in my best voice, I actually have a cracked voice. ” Am trying my best, you know how busy I am in the church, you know how tight my schedule is and all you could say is that am not encouraging” She shouted as she freed herself from me, ” Ah, am sorry now, it was anger” I explained now regretting why I got angry in the first place. ” Anger my feet, how can you be angry for two straight hours?” She asked still crying, ” Okay, am sorry, please forgive me” I begged but she gave no reply, Matt and Victedo weren’t awake by this time, they had gone to bed. ” Am begging o, am really sorry, please forgive me” I begged again, this time wiping the tears off her cheeks. ” Have heard you” She frowned, ” You have not heard me, am sorry” I begged again, ” Have heard you” She said still frowning, ” If you have heard me, you shouldn’t be frowning ” I told her, ” Please laugh for me” I begged. ” Okay, watch this” She said and suddenly busted into laughter like someone who was never crying, ” I caught you there, anytime you are angry, I will just cry for you and that’s it” She laughed , I smiled. ” So you made this up?” I asked her, ” But you can vex o” She laughed, ” Please don’t come late again ” I told her with a frowned face, ” I will cry for you again now when I come late” She said laughing, I smiled. ” okay, let’s continue with our reading ” I said, ” Continue what? Am tired jare, let’s play” She said, ” Play, which play?” I asked , ” Let just be talking, or don’t worry, give me your pen” she requested and I willingly gave it to her. ” Let me draw something on your hand” She said as she took my hand and started to draw on my arm, ” Don’t look o” she said and I nodded, at the end of the diagram, it was a M inscribed in a G, ” It means Mitchell and Gabriel” she laughed, I smiled. ••••••• The love I have for her continued to grow, I loved her to a fault, but one thing, I don’t want to ask her out. I wanted to see if she has someone else, I always followed my instinct, I thought she had someone and I was not ready to break her up from her lover, but I continued to love her. ” Gabi, you are dull, please ask this girl out” Victedo would always say, ” There is no harm in waiting” I told him, ” Someone else will take this girl o” he advised, ” She is already taken” I would say to myself, I don’t know why I always thought so, but I was sure of it. ” Hmm, Gabi my man, don’t dull yourself ” Victedo would always say. At a time, I got tired of the advises and decided to ask her out. . I planned asking her out like about twice but anytime I see her, I would lose the will to do so, not because I wasn’t bold , the atmosphere was not just right. ” Let me just face my studies and my story writing” I would say to myself anytime I failed to ask her out. I still always loved her, even if I had the feelings she got a guy, I didn’t care, I am the one loving here so am harming no one. I had the feeling she had someone else but got no prove till one day. On this particular day, she was sick and I decided to go see her in her house that morning, she had personally asked me to come to her hostel to come teach her there, my happiness knew no bound. I got there and I met her lying on the bed, ” Ah, you came early o” She said, ” You asked me to come by this time ” I told her, ” Hmm, thought you would take a little longer” She said. ” I see you want to sleep” I said , ” She nodded. ” Please do, I will wait till you wake up” I smiled, ” Thank you” She told me. Now, Mitchell lives with her cousins, about 4 of them, they occupied two rooms in their hostel, one upstairs and one downstairs. On that particular day I had gone to see her, she was downstairs with her male cousin, at that point we were talking, her male Cousin, Mic was lying asleep beside her. She slept off and I sat waiting for her to wake up, just then her male cousin woke up. ” Ah , Gabriel, you are here?” He asked, ” Good day” I greeted him, he only nodded and laid down again. I occupied myself with writing of my stories with my phone , there was nothing else to do. About ten minutes later, he female cousin came in, she saw me and we greeted, we are not that cool, I don’t know why. ” Ah, is Mitchell sleeping?” She asked Mic, ” Yes o, she is” Mic replied, ” And he his waiting for her here, can’t he go to his house and rest? ” she asked Mic, she said it freely like nothing, but the words went deep into me, I could not write again but I pretended to be busy with my phone, I even had to plug my earpiece to make it look as if I wasn’t listening. ” Mitchell self” Her female cousin said and went into the kitchen. At the long run, Mitchell woke up but I didn’t teach her, I was busy with Mic, we were playing game with his PS 3. I was still occupying myself with the game when a guy visited, he took Mitchell away, he took her out. I was surprised but not much, I always knew there was someone. I wasn’t jealous either because I have come to realize that true love is never Jealous. It was around 3pm when the guy came and took her out, I played the game a little longer with Mic and waited patiently for her to come back, but all to no avail, I waited till after six for her to come back but she didn’t, I then stood up to take my leave. “Mic, tell Mitchell I got tired waiting” I smiled as I shook hands with him and left, I wasn’t angry. That was the first prove I got that she had a guy, the second time was also in her house, this time I was teaching her when she went downstairs to take something leaving her phone with me, suddenly a call came in. It was an unknown number, I simply left the call to end before picking up the phone, the call had attracted me towards the phone. I unlocked the phone, the phone had no password, just press * to unlock. I unlocked it and went through her call logs ,I saw my number stored with my name, she had called me recently that day, so no surprise my number was the second I saw after the number that had called her recently. I scrolled down and saw another number, it was stored with ” My love” I laughed for I though it was her mom’s number, but scrolling down again, I saw a number stored with mummy and another, ” My world”. •••• ” Gabriel, after all this you have said, I have come to a conclusion that this girl also wants to use you to get what she want” Matt told me after I narrated everything to him, ” i suspect she is a player” Victedo added, ” I know ” I smiled, ” But I still love her ” I added still smiling, love is patient and genuine. . . . .

Waiting For Her
Final Episode.
••••♪••••••√•••••••√
You know in every higher institution, there is always
this period when you have a long gap between the
first exam and the next one, yeah, that period. We
had a long gap before our next paper about a week
gap. I expected Mitchell to keep in touch with me
but she didn’t , she never bothered to even call to
say hi, thus confirmed what Matt said, she was
using me to get what she want. I would purposely
stroll to the main gate every evening with the hope
that I would mistakenly meet her on the road , no
wonder they say ” The one that loves you is not the
one you see everyday, but the one who comes out
everyday looking for you” . Going to the main gate
every evening became my hobby, I would always
stroll to the main gate with my earpiece in my ear
and filling myself with all sort of music except love
music, I hate such, I rather prefer downloading
wrestlers theme and listen to them, they are
inspiring. ” Gabriel, where are you always going to
every evening?” Matt once asked me, ” To cool my
spirit, a little walk with music enlighten your soul” I
would lie, which soul does wrestlers theme
enlighten? I never saw her, even once, I decided to
go to her house but courage was not on my side
then at last I decided to let her be, I am at least
happy I love her, maybe one day she will know
about it.
I told Matt and Victedo what I have decided, they
both laughed about it. ” Gabriel, let’s not lie to
ourselves, you are letting her be because you don’t
have the courage to ask her out” Victedo said and
they busted into laughter, I also laughed but it was
not true. I would have asked her out if not for what I
saw on her phone, I never prayed to destroy her
relationship. ” Yes oo, na fear they catch me” I
concurred , they laughed the more. ” Look at all the
muscle, look at the chest, look at the height, with
all that, Gabriel you can’t ask a girl out, ordinary
girl” Matt laughed, ” Matt, how many girls have you
asked out in your life? ” I started, ” None, but I can”
he tried defending himself, ” Will you keep quiet,
you that left your crush because you saw her
hugging another boy” I said, ” Don’t tell me” Victor
laughed, “let’s forget about that girl jare” Matt said
opening his physics textbook, ” Gabriel, get that
girl” Victedo said and laid on the bed.
Mitchell came to my house again on the day of the
paper, she wanted me to quickly put her through, it
was our last paper. ” Ah, Gabi, I missed your face
o” She told me touching my cheeks, Victedo and
Matt started coughing stupidly. I smiled and
opened my book to start the teaching process, as I
taught her, we would pause at interval to talk. She
would most time throw topics about relationship
and in between, she would try to make me know
that she doesn’t have any guy, Matt and Victedo
would nod on hearing such things, signifying to me
that she is mine. ” You didn’t even bother to call ” I
told her, ” Gabriel I was busy and remember I use
my cousin’s phone to call since I don’t have a
phone again” She said, I nodded and packed my
books into my bag, ” Its time, let’s go” I told her,
“when are you going back home after today’s
exam?” She asked, ” Sunday” I told her, ” Whoa ,
that’s a lot of time, we will see before then” She
said and I nodded hoping so.
We wrote the exams and that was it, the end of the
long talked about exam, I thank God I wrote well
but after the exam I didn’t see or hear from Mitchell
again. ” Matt, let’s go on Friday, let’s not wait till
Sunday again ” I told him, ” I was thinking so too
bro” He said, ” What about Mitchell?” He asked, ”
She is fine ” I told him, ” Won’t you ask her out
before you go?” he asked, ” I can’t see her again” I
said , ” Ohh, what a pity ” He laughed, ” Wait!!” I
suddenly sprang up to my reading table, there it
was, her nylon file which she kept with me , ” I can
write a note and keep it here for her, I will go to her
hostel and give it to her sister to give her” I told
Matt, by now, Victedo had gone home. ” Why can’t
you give her herself?” He asked me, ” She isn’t
staying in her hostel now, she told she was
spending sometimes with her friend” I said. ” Hmm
okay ” he laughed as I picked up my pen and
constructed a well punctuated love letter, my first
ever. I expressed my feelings to her and all that I
had to say. I then packaged it into an envelope and
place it in her nylon file. ” But I think this is
childish ” Matt said, ” Yeah I know, but to me , this
is the best way” I smiled. ” I will deliver it
tomorrow” I told him lying on the bed, ” I think she
doesn’t deserve you” Matt suddenly blurted out, but
the kind of stare I gave him made him understand
that he had to keep quiet, ” Did my first ugly
girlfriend deserve me?” I asked myself as I hissed
out.
Myself and Matt strolled to main gate the next day
to charge our phones, we would be going back the
following day and we can’t afford to go with
switched off phones. Around 3pm I was set to go
back to the hostel but Matt wasn’t ready, he needed
to withdraw money from the ATM. I decided to wait
for him outside the main gate, I had my bag on and
in my bag was Mitchell’s file. I went out the main
gate and sat on one of the numerous pillars staring
at the pensioner who derives pleasure begging from
student, I see him every evening when I come for
my strolling. I sat staring at him , ” This man no go
go work bah?” I asked no one as I turned my neck
away from him, I immediately sighted Mitchell
coming from the main gate, she was looking
extraordinarily beautiful, she was about to pass by
the pillar where I sat when I called her, she turned
to me slowly and smiled. ” Gabi, what are you
doing here?” She asked, ” Waiting for Matt”I told
her, ” Oh ,I see” She said, ” Am going tomorrow ” I
told her, ” Eyah, okay now , till next semester, hope
you are with my file?” She asked, ” Yes, its with me,
I planned returning it today, its even in my bag self”
I said and handed over the file to her, ” Thanks”
She made to walk away, ” wait, I kept an envelope
in between your documents ” I told her, she nodded
and went off .
I was happy she would finally know how I felt for
her, I went back home in joy the next day expecting
her call. My brethren, this is the second week since
I got home and I haven’t even seen her missed call.
The issue is not from her not having a phone, she
must have gotten a phone now because I do see
her active on Whatsapp every now and then. I can’t
just wait to go back to school, I need to kill Matt
and Victedo for putting pressure on me. Okay that
was how I disgraced myself in school o, but guys
guess what? You won’t believe it, I STILL LOVE HER
AND AM STILL WAITING FOR HER. A short story by Gabriel .U. Akilozi. <b> If you enjoyed this story and you don't want to miss our next story, why not like our page A2spot and visit our site http://a2spot.com regularly |
