The sun sipping through the curtains brought me back to life, I searched the bedside table for my phones or wristwatch, which ever I saw first, I stumbled on my wristwatch first and it was 11am. I wanted to jump up but I couldn’t, I felt like I slept for days. Walter was facing me.
“Good morning, sunshine!” Walter said in an awesome baritone voice, with cocaine particles on the tip of his nose
“I hope I didn’t act in a way that doesn’t glorify the will of God in my life?” I asked sheepishly
“I think you were glorifying the will of someone quite alright, I doubt if its God sha.” Walter said laughing, he looked at me deep in the eyes, he dragged my head towards him and kissed me, rubbing his cocaine dirty nose on my face.
“You did fine” Walter continued, trying not to delve into the crazy night
“ I think I should just head home now that my pride is still intact before you’ll say something that will shatter everything, which I have a feeling is soon ” I said as I left the bed naked, as I tried to pick up my stuff on the ground scattered away.
“Well, I still think we should have that dinner very soon. I just want to take you out, we’d talk and I’ll drop you at your doorstep. Nothing more. Besides you still owe me that gist.” Walter said as he ogled at my naked body.
“Lol! I kind of prefer you as my bed buddy.” I teased
24 Hours earlier
As I left the supermarket, I went home but I couldn’t get myself to cook, and I couldn’t bring myself to call Danielle up to talk about Chike. My run in with Bianca earlier at the club, had left me feeling bitter and to top it up, I literally felt my heart tearing into little shreds.
I decided to call Walter up for our date. After all, he seemed to be the most neutral person in my life at the moment. He wasn’t demanding to know my story or anything, he just wanted to be my friend, or so I hoped.
“Hey Walter, Good afternoon”. I said.
“Hi Shon. Good afternoon. How’s your day going?” He replied.
“Well, I’ve had worse days…. “ I replied sound tired.
“So I’m calling as regards our date….” Walter replied.
“OMG! Now you want to break my heart by cancelling it abi?” He said in a very cute way
“To imagine that I’ve been looking forward to Friday.” he feigned sniffling.
“You’re just a big clown. I was calling to know what you’d be doing this evening. If you’re free, we could hang out.”
“Well, you said it yourself before na, I’m freelance and I have no boss.. so I’m very free.” Walter replied gladly
“You see? I am never wrong! I giggled
“Anyway, pick me up at 7pm. I’ll send you my address when I hang up.”
“Alright ma’am, let me go get my gentleman swag on. Be prepared to be wowed!” He said and I hung up.
Well, it was just 2pm, I had 5hrs to do whatever I wanted with myself…. I thought to myself as I got lost in Being Mary Jane Season 2.
6:45pm
I was ready to hit town. I was dressed in black ripped boyfriend jeans, a red cropped tee, a pair of sneakers, minimal accessories and pepper red lips, thanks to Ruby Woo.
My phone rang, it was Walter. He probably got lost trying to find my apartment, I thought to myself.
“Hey Lost Walter”, I said as I picked the call.
“Huh? Which one is Lost Walter again?” He asked.
“Well, I’m assuming you’ve lost your way trying to locate my apartment, hence the title.”
“Duh! Sorry to disappoint you and your type that underestimate the efficiency of Google Maps. Anyway, instead of turning on your TV to check if they’ll show me on the news as lost, why not come outside. I’m waiting in front of the house I assume is yours except of course, you gave me the wrong address.“ Walter said proudly
“Oh really? I’d be out in a jiffy!” I hung up and picked my Hermes bag, I made up my mind that I wouldn’t let anything get my mood off, I will enjoy my evening.
I got in the car and leaned in for a hug but he stretched his hand instead.
“Are you high? Who are you trying to shake? Please come here let me hug you joor.” I said with all smiles
“I didn’t want to be too forward na, before you’ll say I have plans to rape you.” He replied as he hugged me tight.
He was dressed in blue jeans, a black tee and a black blazer. He looked yum as always and his grey eyes more intense.
“Where are we headed?” I asked
“Well, I thought we could have dinner at some quiet place, probably see a movie. Or do you have anything else in mind?” Walter reeled out his plan for the evening.
“So, that’s the wow effect you planned? I was expecting a limo ride to where your private jet is hidden, then a flight from there to Miami for the weekend o.” I said with sarcasm
“Young lady! you can like to wake up now? Abeg talk well jare. Miami ko, Magodo ni. Do you have any place in mind?” Walter said
“Abeg, I’m not in the mood for dinner, especially the type you have in mind. Let’s just hit the movies and we can decide from there, then we can grab something to eat along the line.” I narrated my minimalistic agenda for the night.
“Okay! If that’s what you want, no problem. But why do I have this strong feeling that you’re friend-zoning me already?” Walter revolted.
“Friend-zone? Young man, there’s no zone for you sef. I’ve not finished forgiving you o and you’re looking for zone to fix yourself up and down. Oversabi.” I said laughing hysterically.
“Really Shon? You’ll eat your words very soon and I’ll gladly feed them to you’ll be begging me to be your baby daddy.” Walter joked.
I burst into a fit of laughter.
“Walter! biko don’t kill me with laughter. Baby daddy ko, Mama Bomboy ni.”
“Okay o. Let’s leave that matter for now. Abeg gist me how your day went, give me inside scoop to celebrity gists na”
We gisted non-stop till we got to The Palms. We went to the cinema arena and decided to see The Judge by 9:05pm.
As we were heading to the food court to have some pizza, I saw Chike.
OMG!
I ducked hoping he hadn’t see me, call me immature, I don’t care, it isn’t in any rule book that been immature is against the law. Luckily for me, he was backing me. So I turned to Walter, Can we leave this place now? I asked and started walking away as fast as I could.
“Shon! what is it? What happened? You look like you just saw a ghost.”
“I would have been happier if it was a ghost. Biko stop asking plenty questions let’s move. He wasn’t budging so I continued, Oya we’re not leaving. We’ll just sit in the car till its almost time for the movie. Please now!!!” I pleaded with Walter
“You’re a total nut case, shey you know?” Walter said, as we were about to leave
Just as he moved to meet up with me, we heard, “Shon!! Please wait!”
It was Chike’s voice. I doubled my steps and Walter was fast behind me.
“I think the person you’re trying to avoid already caught you. Who’s he?” Walter quizzed as I almost ran out of the mall.
“I’ll gist you later, let’s just concentrate on losing him.” I said like an undercover agent.
Chike was still screaming behind us. I wonder why the dude loved drama, now everyone would be staring at me.
We got to the exit and for some bloodclat reason, there was human traffic.
“Wow! Shon, I’ve been screaming your name since na” Chike said as he finally caught up with us.
“As I refused to answer, won’t you rest? I barked at him
“Bros I hail o!” He turned to Walter, and they shook like they were friends.
“Shons, why have you been avoiding me? You’ve blocked on every platform I could have reached you. Even your number is always unreachable.”
“Chike, the last time I checked, it’s my phone, I can therefore block whoever I want.” I said without losing breathe
“Shon, you didn’t even give me a chance to explain. It’s not what you thought. All those things you’ve been hearing are all lies, and I’m surprised you haven’t tried to confirm from me. I thought we meant more to each other. I mean, you’re my world so I thought I meant more to you, more than what mere rumours could break.” Chike acting all cute and apologetic but he wasn’t going to get to me atleast not tonight.
I tried to keep a straight face but I could feel bile rising up my throat. I wanted to spit it all out in his face, and let the hurt of the past 5months out.
Walter must have noticed I was getting tensed and needed a way out. He wrapped his arms around my shoulder and I leaned in and smiled.
“Chike, meet my fiancée, Walter. I moved on long ago and I think you should too.”
I saw his face change and I pulled Walter’s head down for a kiss.
“Shons! Your fiancée? You must be fucking kidding me right now? It’s either you’re a bloody liar or you cheated on me. You cheated on me with this…. this…. he stuttered as he took the whole length of Walter’s 6″3 frame and mentally compared his 5″8 frame with it.
“Hi honey! Zaki said I’d find you here… what’s going on? he said you took off after some chic.”
It was Bianca again! Could this day get more dramatic? I thought to myself.
I saw the look on her face when she realised it was me, as she turned to Chike, “Honey, I thought you promised this was over?
“Babe I’m not in the mood for this talk right now.” He said and pushed her off.
I signalled to Walter so we could move away. We could hear them screaming obscenities at each other as we walked to the car.
Young lady, you seem to have a very dramatic life. I’m not envious though, but just know you owe me an exclusive gist to what just happened in there. No pressure but it’s kinda past our movie time sef, and if I know you well enough, I know you want to get the hell outta here. So get in the car and tell me where you want us to go.” Walter tried to pacify me about the close to disaster confrontation with Chike and Bianca.
“Awwww Walter!! Ain’t you the sweetest friend-zoned friend ever?” I teased
“Shattap there. That kiss back there didn’t taste friend-zoned tho.” Walter replied
“Oh please! That was an act, stop feeling cool with yourself. I could have dragged anybody in for that.” I said, ending it with sticking my tongue out
“Well, you didn’t, so that changes nothing. Anyway, where are we headed? Walter said
“Anywhere I can drown myself in booze is fine by me.”
“Okay! MVP it is then!!They just opened, should be nice to hang out there.” He said as he started the car.
MVP was filled to the brim with celebrities, Our first 10-20 minutes was filled with me greeting celebs here and there, kissing and hugging the ones we’re on good terms while ignoring those we had beef. I made up with some celebs because in entertainment just as in politics like they say, no permanent friends, no permanent enemies.
It was exhausting for me, been a popular PR person often gets you good things at these kind of places, our table was spot on, we were sharing with the crème de la crème of entertainment, artistes were giving me their new numbers to update my address book. No longer than 10 minutes as we got in, we were served champagne, I could feel Walter not feeling so well with all the greetings I was doing. He was right, how can we not have a private moment after 20 minutes of getting to a party.
I could read frustration and pleasure in his eyes. Frustration that the time we were supposed to share is getting frustrated by this celebs and the pleasure from hobnobbing with celebrities, he was been hugged by Omawunmi, Waje, Eva, gisting away with Tu-face, appearing in selfies with Ice Prince, P-Square, Naeto C and others.
We had a couple of glasses of champagne, realising that the social interactions will never stop, I whispered to Walter that we should head elsewhere, he agreed with me.
As we were about to leave, a waiter came through and gave him a bottle of Patron courtesy of the house, the manager saw me from far, I blew him a kiss to thank him for the gift.
Back at the car, Walter couldn’t say anything apart from WoW as we drove out, I broke the silence.
“If we head to another club, I bet you, its either its will be worse or slightly better than this” I said
“How do you cope with the attention” Walter asked with amusement
I laughed. “Jesus!” Walter exclaimed
“Its part of my job, I’m used to it ” I replied
“I have an idea, how about we head home and play the game of shots” I said
“I wouldn’t mind naked shots” Walter added “Depends on my mind, lets go to your house” I replied.
A couple of hours later, there were empty bottles of vodka and patron, cocaine lined up on a make-shift table, we were both naked, we ended up playing snots and fucks. After a sniff, I would ride him for a timed 1 minute, then he would go doggy behind me, then we would interchange who would sniff the coke.
I cant remember how it ended or what time we fell asleep but it was one of the best nights in years.

“Lol! I kind of prefer you as my bed buddy.” I teased
“Who says I’m rejecting that offer? I’m good to go right now sef as long as you bring back the freak on.” Walter said
“Oh God! You really had to say that abi? You sha like to fall my hand shey?” I said clutching my shirt over my naked boobs.
“I was kidding now! Oya run along, let me drop you off before I lure you to stay.” Walter teased.
We began to hear the sound of 2 male voices and a female giggle in his living room.
“Seems like you have visitors. Let me leave you to attend to them. I’ll take a cab, please don’t exaggerate yesterday night to them o.” I said about to leave the room into the passage leading to the living room.
He laughed as he led the way to the sitting room
“Or you could stay and let me introduce you as my fiancé.” He joked
Not on your life Walter. You won’t dare.
“What of as payback for yesterday? Then I can consider us even.” Walter tried to rationalise his joke.
He walked into the sitting room and there was a sight to behold. There was Carmen, sucking a guy’s dick with all vigour and moaning loudly while the other guy was pumping her from behind like his life depended on it.
Holy shit! I screamed, “Carmen?”
What the fuck Carmen? Walter exclaimed
They scurried apart as the guys hurriedly put on their clothes.
“Get the fuck out of my house! Right now! Out!” Walter screamed as he pushed both guys out. The look in his eyes as he looked at Carmen could kill.
“Shon, please it’s not what you think. I can explain but please don’t tell your dad about it.” She said
“Carmen, I don’t know what to think and I’m very sure I don’t want to think about it so please save the explanation for Walter and my dad. But know that there’s no way in hell I’m going to let you infect my dad with whatever veneral diseases you breed in your coochie without his knowledge. If he chooses to stay with you after I tell him, that’s his business not mine. I said and walked out to meet Walter in his car.
