What’s down bad? (Ep I)
I laid in bed one Friday afternoon, waiting on my roommate to come home so we can figure out what to have for lunch/dinner when I got a response to a text I’ve been waiting on for a while!
“I just got back from class I’m so exhausted,” she said
“Sorry! It’s the weekend, you have about 2 days to rest” I responded, forgetting the person I was talking to was a book maniac, she doesn’t have no rest time, she thinks of books even in her sleep.
“No, I don’t, I have to go out with my sister today and tomorrow to work on my project, we have “the thing” tomorrow and Sunday and I’ll also do laundry somewhere in between”
So I knew it was going to be a long weekend of almost not seeing her.
PS I see her for a constant of about 3–4 hours daily at this time, but it just doesn’t feel like it was enough. I wanted to spend the whole day with her however possible.
“Oh true, sorry! But where are you going with your sister” I asked?”
“The mall, to shop and get food”
Mans was in his briefs, doing what not in bed with my roommates back and waiting for me to jump in the kitchen and whip up some me special, I also had a meeting with the owner of my dorm regarding some important things at the time (not more important than laying eyes on her being sha, if we’re being honest). So I responded
“Ohh! That’s chill I’m also on my way there, we’ll probably meet up there”
Couldn’t remember what reason I gave for me being there, but she’s smart and she knows me, I’m sure she saw through it. But do I care? No! What do I care about? Seeing that face of hers that carries her fire eyes, her pretty smile, and how happy I get when I’m around her. So yeah! I left those boys to themselves, stabbed the meeting, wore my white Jalab(it got stained while I was eating KFC jollof rice and chicken. Was it worth it? Absolutely), tired one stressful turban on my head, booked my taxi, went to the mall, called her and pretended I was there coincidentally.
We spent the whole evening together and sailed into the night like plain water underneath a salty sea.
