CHAPTER 16
After ending the call, Chelsea headed straight to the kitchen.
" How far is the kitchen department doing with the food preparation?" Chelsea asked Kevwe, " And may I ask what are you cooking?, Only the aroma wants to finished my nose" She added.
"Well for your information I'm cooking Yam porridge with pork meat" Kevwe told her.
" Oh my God, it is as if you can read minds or something; because that is one of my favorite food" Chelsea said to her.
" When did it become one of your favorite food?. And stop buttering me up, because you want to eat or you are hungry" Kevwe said to Chelsea.
" For your information, it is true. I fell in love with yam porridge long time ago. Especially before I went to school. But on getting to school after some years, a very small tuber of yam was sold for 900naira and you know we student were trying to manage our feeding money, so instead we spent our money on something that would not be enough for us for days" Chelsea told Her BFF, " Look at you behaving like you don't remember, as if it was not both of us that went to school this same time" She added.
" Please live me, you too like talk" Kevwe told her playfully, " So how was your talk with Mr. Lover?" Kevwe ask her BFF.
" Who are you calling Mr. Lover?, Do you know if I was talking to a lady?" Chelsea asked.
" Please don't give me that crap. it would surely be a he, with how long you were making a talking to the person" Kevwe said to Chelsea, " So who is he?" Kevwe asked her friend.
"He who?" Chelsea asked back.
"Don't lie to me and don't answer my question with a question" Kevwe warns, " No need to lie, I have been overhearing your conversation from the kitchen . So just go straight to the point and give me the full gist" She added.
" Okay, he is the guy I told you about" Chelsea said.
" Which guy?" Kevwe asked.
" The one I told I met on my way to school or to my per time teaching job" Chelsea told her " Who you saw me talking to in front of my shop" She added.
" The guy by the name Dennis, That one I told you he likes you?" Kevwe asked.
" Yes, that one" Chelsea replied.
" Since when do you call him?, Did he call you or you were the one who called him?" Kevwe asked.
" You have so many questions, which one should I answer first?" Chelsea asked," Just slow down" Chelsea said to her BFF.
" Well, I have so many questions, because the first day I asked about him, you didn't give me much answer and you wave my questions off" Kevwe told her, " And the second time, you sounded as if you didn't like him" She added.
" Well not that I didn't like him, I just didn't know him then. " Chelsea told Kevwe.
" So now you do?" Kevwe asked, " Since when?" She added.
" Not really, I still don't. But we have decided to get to know each other, as friends" Chelsea answered.
" Just friends?" Kevwe asked.
" Yes!, Just friends" Chelsea exclaimed, " Why are you people behaving as if he and I can not be just friends?" She asked.
" Well, because I know he wants something else or something more. Meaning; something other than just friends and you know it too" Kevwe told her.
" How do you know that?, You only saw him ones and you didn't even get to talk to him that one time" Chelsea said.
" Ones was enough for me. I don't even need to talk to him to know his intentions, because they were written all over his face in the way he was looking at you, even though I only saw him from afar. He was looking at you my deae; Like a lollipop, he desperately want to lick and candy he wants to eat " Kevwe told Chelsea.
" Please stop, don't tell me such words. Those phrases you used are so creepy. It makes him sound creepy" Chelsea said.
" Oh, shut up we are both adults. So grow- up for ones and get use to me, saying things like that" Kevwe replied.
" Whatever" Chelsea said to her, " I thought you would be Happy, that I'm giving him a chance?" Chelsea asked.
" Yes, I am. I'm just giving you a hard time for the way you talked to me last time and for taking so long to give him a chance. The guy is patient shall. If it were I, I would have walk away and stop pestering you" Kevwe said.
" Why would say such thing. But I apologized to you and you said you accepted my apology" Chelsea said to her.
" Did I?" Kevwe asked as she added Maggi seasoning to the Yam porridge.
" Yes, you did" Chelsea answered.
" Of course, I did. I'm just pulling your leg and you fell for it. Ha, ha...." Kevwe said and started laughing.
" You..., You just played me just now. I really thought you were still angry at me and I was scared for a moment there" Chelsea said as she inhaled or breathes in.
" What can I say I am that good in acting; if I don't say so myself" Kevwe complimented herself, " But I'm so happy for you" She told Chelsea.
" What are you Happy for?" Chelsea asked, " We are just friends" She added.
" Don't worry, love will blossom soon. It always has a way of fooling us that we are in control. But we are really not, when it comes to the case of love" Kevwe told her.
" You and love eh" Chelsea said.
" So what brought up the call?" Kevwe asked.
" Well I went home this last weekend, I met him in mum's super market" Chelsea answered.
" But what would he be doing all the way there?". Hope he is not stalking you?". You never told me this and look at me being a bad and encouraging you to give him a chance, I'm so sorry" Kevwe apologized.
" Don't be sorry, I know you were just excited and what you just asked that's what I asked him when I saw him. And I'm also sorry I didn't tell you, I forgot to tell you " Chelsea apologized too.
" No, problem. But don't forget such thing again. What if he is a stalker?. We need to be very careful these days, because it is not written on the face, whether the person is a stalker or not. Next time when you notice something like this, be it a stalker tendency or something else, tell someone; especially your parents and love ones" Kevwe advised.
" That's true, thanks" Chelsea said, " But I found out from my mum, that he was her regular customer and his parents live in that area" She informs Kevwe.
" That means your mum knows him?" Kevwe asked.
" A little, because they patronize her and she has seen him with them, not that she knows him that well and she didn't ask him his name till that day" Chelsea told Kevwe.
" Before he was a total stranger, but now we know how to go about tracking him if he tries anything wrong and also we need to search about online too" Kevwe told Chelsea.
" Yes, that's also true" Chelsea agreed, " I also saw him today" Chelsea informs her.
" Where?" Kevwe asked with excitement.
" When I went for delivery" Chelsea told her, " I didn't know he works at the company, I was to deliver the food, snacks and drinks to" Chelsea said, " And why are you so excited ?" She asked.
" Well I need to live vigorously through you, that's why I am excited" Kevwe answered, " Was it a coincident or a carefully planned meeting" Kevwe asked.
" Not a coincidence" Chelsea replied.
" How?" Kevwe asked in surprise.
" Dennis was the one who more the order on my Facebook business page" Chelsea answered.
" I knew it" Kevwe said.
" Said what ?" Chelsea asked.
" That he likes you" Kevwe answered, " Because why would he go this length?, First collecting your phone number without you knowing from your signboard and then this" Kevwe told her.
" We I hope he would toon down the stalking a little, since I have agreed to be his friend" Chelsea said.
" I wouldn't call it stalking any more, but love. He is blinded by love" Kevwe said.
" If you say so. Hmm, this you food must be delicious with this aroma that is coming from it " Chelsea told Kevwe.
" It is, I have tested it" Kevwe agreed.
" I hope it would be ready when I come back?" Chelsea asked.
" And where are you going to, I thought you just returned?" Kevwe asked.
" Yes, I'm just coming back. But I also need to take my bath" Chelsea replied, " So when I get back, I hope to see that the food is ready" She added.
" It would be your Majesty" Kevwe said sarcastically with a bow.
" Whatever" Chelsea said as she goes to take her back.
After taking her bath, she came back to the kitchen and served her food, since their living arrangement involves serving yourself, after the person cooking has finished cooking. Then she calculated for the sales for the day, then went to wait for Kevwe in her room to continue their discussion, before going to bed to relax with a little Ebook, after that prayed and slept.
