It was lunch time and I didn’t want to do the
regular we did at the office. We were always having eatery food every
Wednesday. It’s just one of the perks of working in the office where I work. We
literarily had fun every day and we were well taken care of and we had a good
pay at the end of the month. I wasn’t feeling like eating an ‘undone’ chicken
of any sort as sometimes, it just comes that way or maybe, I’m just
unfortunate, or maybe, my taste buds are just different. I called Kemi, our
cleaner where she buys her swallow from. She gave me a description not far from
the office and then, I decided to stretch my legs. Off I went.
I had been contemplating on getting either a new
iphone7 or a used iphone8. I was still comparing prices online when I got to
the place Kemi described for me. They called it “Feel at Home” and oh yes, I
felt at home. The steam from the various swallows filled the air and the soups,
heavenly. I could feel my stomach walls churn as the aroma aroused every sense
in my body. I had been craving hot amala
since Sunday evening but just too lazy to get into the kitchen to make myself a
plate full. It finally got to my turn and I ‘modestly’ ordered 5 wraps of amala and my ewedu with gbegiri and obe-ata was assaulted with orisirisis coursing through my soup
bowl.
I got myself a nice place to sit and started my
meal. My good God, every morsel that passed through my mouth was like a slice
of paradise and everything nice. I got a bottle of cold Amstel Malta for proper
guidance through my intestines. I was still going through my phone as I was yet
to make a decision on the upgrade I wanted to make when a very calm and cute
voice said, “excuse me, can I join you?”. I didn’t even bother to look up at
the person. I just said sure you can and the person sat down. I finally made up
my mind to get myself a brand new iphone7. It’s better than having someone
trail me over stolen phone I know nothing about.
I had finished eating and was about to get up when I
finally decided to catch a glimpse of the person sitting before me. Gosh, I had
missed it. I’ve seen fine girls’ o but no, this one was so damn fine. I
immediately started regretting why I didn’t look up from the very instant she
joined me. Now I had no reason to talk to her after not paying any attention
for close to 10 minutes we shared a table. I was still lost in thought when I
caught her drop a smile. My heart skipped a beat fam. I guess she was on instagram
or snapchat but I wasn’t interested. Right there and then, I became very
delusional and imagined her as my wife and me cracking jokes. Her smile was
all.
I said hi and the look she gave me was like “you are
just seeing me now abi, proud somebody”. She responded in a very nonchalant
manner. I got the message but irrespective, I went ahead and introduced myself.
“I’m Dami”. She looked at me with a sheepish smile and responded, “HI, I’m Dami
too”. Chai she decided to really mess with me. I kept hating myself for those
10minutes I didn’t look up to say hi. I chuckled and asked if she ate there
often. She said yes. At that point she was getting up to leave too. I got back
to the office and the thought of her couldn’t seem to leave my head. Even when
I got home, her smile kept haunting me.
Thursday before 1 o’clock, I was at feel at home but
I didn’t feel at home. I waited all lunch but my muse never came for lunch. I
was very disturbed. The same thing happened on Friday and that was how I knew
my weekend was going to be messed up cos her picture just kept roaming my head.
Lol
I have tire o
