+Bimbo+

I kept on staring dumbfounded at Daniella. Why did her life have to be so, so interesting! Argh!! How could she do that to me? She just moved her game up like that! Ha! What am I saying? I’m happy for her……. I think.

“Bimbo!” she said with that puppy dog face that we both practices when we are jobless and I must say she has gotten pretty good at it.

“Don’t worry! I’m happy that you finally fell in love” I gave her a huge hug.

“LOVE? NO! NO! NO WAY!!” she shrieked!

“But you said you ….”

“I said I told him I was only playing him and he was okay with it.” She interrupted me.

The truth was that I knew what she said I just wanted her to re-say it. “So the game is still on!” I hugged her again.

“What’s with the constant hugging?” she pushed me away. That’s why I like her, always so though “I’m not sure I want to play him, even if I play him I will feel bad playing him and another guy” she stood up from the bed and went to get her book and assignment slip.

“Come on!” I said turning on her laptop. We both use the same password. I know so cliché! “See, from what you’ve said Bolaji thinks you are only playing games, so he is going to continue his life thinking of you only as a playmate. Hence love is not going to be involved in it” her password box finally came up and I hoped her common sense too.

“I’m not sure, I really think I like him.” She is so stubborn!

“See Dan, you are going to be very heartbroken when you see him and Cynthia make out and believe me he will make you see it!” I said seriously

“You know what? When that time comes you are the first person I will come to Bimbo!” She left the room with her book. I only shook my head and shot down her laptop. I was usually the one being looked out for. Now I was looking out for her. Cool!

+Daniella+

As I left the room and walked down the stairs my mind kept on racing back to Last night

When I entered his house, I was dumbfounded at the size until I remembered that he was the minister of finance’s son. But still, it was big. For a student!

He lived in a duplex and his sitting-room was twice the size of mine, we walked up the stairs, he took me to an empty room which was also big and he left me alone without making any seductive move but not trusting myself I went to his room in the middle of the night and snuggled close to him. He was shocked at first when he felt me beside him but he wrapped his arm around me and I fell asleep.

What am I doing? I don’t want to get hurt, I don’t want to be miserable, in short, I don’t want to fall in love!

I cleared my mind of Bolaji and concentrated more on walking to my sadistic lecturer’s office to submit my assignment

“Good morning sir,” I said stepping into his office.

“What’s your problem,” he asked without looking up at me and with a ‘what’s this pest doing here?’ tone.

“I don’t have a problem; I only came to submit my assignment. Sir” I waited for his permission to submit holding the slip over his table.

He lifted his head up from his newspaper and I saw a huge grin on his face “Oh Daniella it’s you!”

Why the familiarity? This man is creepy.

“You’ve always had as in my courses,” he said taking my slip from me.

“Thank you, sir,” I said still very suspicious with the change of attitude.

“You are definitely a student I will like to know”

WHAT? EWWWWW!

“Sir what do you mean?” I asked pushing the recorder button on my handset.

“See Daniella you are a bright student, very intelligent and I will like to know you beyond academics,” he said standing up from his sit and coming closer to me. I was mentally screaming for MANIAC!

This man is not only a sadist he is a pervert.

I had heard of other girls sleeping with him for marks but I never expected him to see me. I mean I am intelligent, so I don’t need my marks increased. Plus his physical features were nothing to write home about. He is short, has a bald head, no potbelly but I would bet with my life that beneath that suit there was not a glimpse of abs, probably flabs. And he was beyond ugly sometimes I even related his sadistic behaviours to his deficiencies because believe me. He was deficient in a lot of areas; height, looks, hair, name it!

“Sir it’s inappropriate for a lecturer to know his student beyond education” I stepped away from his desk as he came closer to me.

“I can see that you are not yet exposed” he stopped moving then retreated to his seat and I kept on staring at his every movement even till he sat down. The feeling was like he could bring out a gun at any point. “Leave my office!” He ordered.

I wasted no time in leaving his office and walked as far as I could away from his office.

Why was my life turning into a Nigerian movie?

My class was to start at 9 am, I looking at my handset, noticed the time was 7:39 am plus my recorder was still on. I played it close to my ears and sighed. I never thought I will ever cause a lecturer the end of his sadistic reign. I had to find his wife or a higher authority.

I walked to my faculty holding my phone very tight, nothing could happen to it. Until that man’s life got ruined.

The sadistic lecturer must have gotten Bolaji out of my mind……. Wait.

My eyes almost fell out!

Bolaji was kissing his girlfriend!

Worse, he looked at me and smirked with his lips still on hers.

‘This is just a game! This is just a game! This is just a game’ I smiled at him after repeating those words in my head and I continued walking back to my class.

Today was just not my day.

+Bimbo+

“Bimbo!” A voice from behind me said

“Stranger,” I said not turning around

“Is that how you great old friends?” the voice which I now recognized to be Clara’s asked.

“Oh! I seemed to have forgotten the date we became friends.” I gave her a fake smile and she returned it.

“See I don’t have time for this!” She took a threatening step closer to me “Stay away from Desmond!”

“Or what?” I smirked.

“You don’t want to know, or what.” She smirked back.

“Look sisi! I love him! He is smart, funny, handsome and caring! Can’t you see? I won’t leave him for anything” I paused to savour her facial expression “Remember that statement?” I asked with another smirk and this time she did not return the smirk.

“That’s low!” she said it like I should be ashamed.

“It’s life,” I smiled “Remember when you stole my boyfriend? And you dumped him the following week?” My smile faded “Remember all the times you tried to make my life miserable?” and turned in to a frown “Karma always comes back.”

“I know you seek revenge, but go find it somewhere else, Desmond is my fiancé, and I love him” She almost sounded like she was about to beg me.

“That’s why it’s called revenge” I turned back to face the direction of my class, something that we were, unfortunately, having together.

“You know what? It’s on!” She said walking past me.

+Bolaji+

“Baby, you hardly kiss me what’s wrong?” Cynthia asked a little turned on after I kissed her because I saw Daniella coming and the reason was clearly obvious.

“Am I that bad?” I asked putting my arm around her waist and pulling her closer to me as I walked her to her class.

“Yes you are that bad” she replied but didn’t pull away “You don’t like me, you only pretend to like me when our parents are around, and you only kiss me when we are having dinner with our parents.”

“Wow.” she was right.

“What went wrong Bola?” She looked up at me still snuggled on my chest “We used to be best friends.”

I walked silently with her till we got to her class and I watched her enter before I left for my class. I felt really guilty about having to pretend that I liked her, she really didn’t deserve it.

Our fathers are best friends and business partners, so we pretty much grew up being best friends and since I was an only child I ended up seeing her as nothing more than a sister. But as we grew older our parent got too excited and started arranging our marriage and I guess that’s when I began to hate ever meeting her.

Unlike those romantic novels where the two people get to fall on love finally. I hated knowing her with every day that passed plus she wasn’t even helping, she nagged a lot too.
