Adebimpe: The Facebook Girl – Episode 22
ME: hi love, I saw your missed calls
KEMI: why aren’t you picking up?
ME: I was with my boss when you called. And you
know it would be embarrassing if I should pick calls in
his presence.
KEMI: ok dear, should I start coming
ME: eeeeeerrmmm
SEGE: *****throwing up his hands as a sign telling to
speak up*****
ME: eeeerm kemi, my boss wanted me to follow him to
inspect a project, that was why he told me to come
today.
KEMI: ok, let me come before you guys leave for the
project.
ME: we are already on our way to his car, infact, his
car is about 6 feet from here.
KEMI: so what will happen now?
ME: we won’t stay long. I’m sure we can exceed an
hour. When I’m coming back, I will call you.
KEMI: ok dear. I love you so much
ME: I love you too. Bye ***hanged up***.
After the call, I dropped my phone and looked at segun.
SEGE: *****shake hands with me*****, that’s my boy,
ME: hmmmmmm, I hope it works sha
SEGE: mr maga leave story. If you aren’t too smart for
these girls, they would send you back to the village
when they are through with you.
ME: hmmmmmmm, let’s continue our winning eleven
and let me beat you one more time.
SEGE: oloshi, na only that one you sabi
Segun and I continued with the game, when I was
getting hungry, I picked some noodles in his cupboard
and help myself with the cooking. The friendship
between segun and I was more like brothers. We are
always free at each others house. Infact, I do see
segun’s house as my second home and vice versa.
I was eating my noodles and segun was playing game
alone on his own when kemi called again. I looked at
the wall clock and the time was 2pm.
ME: hello
KEMI: hi dear, please call me back
ME: ok
KEMI: ****hanged up****
I dropped the phone from my ear and face segun.
ME: “Shoooooo!, segun see me see wahala oooo”
SEGE: wetin happen?
ME: imagine kemi telling me to call back after
receiving 400naira airtime yesterday?
SEGE: sebi na you start am from onset
ME: how? ***raised eye brow****
SEGE: me as I dey so, if I send 100naira card to any
girl and if she doesn’t call me with atleast 50naira
worth of airtime before requesting another one, I will
never send another card.
ME: hmmmmmmmm
SEGE: but if na you, one “yeye” girl go call you to send
card, she no go use atleast half of the card to call you,
and she go request for another one. And you would
send it again. So what do you expect?
ME: you are right sha.
SEGE: call her na. Let’s hear what she has to say.
ME: ok
I dialled kemi’s number from my phone.
ME: hello kemisola
KEMI: hi love, where are you?
ME: I’m still with my boss on the project site
KEMI: when will you be through?
ME: I can’t say for now, but soon sha
KEMI: ooooh God, time is going now
ME: don’t worry, if we can’t be chanced to go out
today, what about tomorrow?
KEMI: that’s impossible, me and my family are
returning very early tomorrow morning
ME: haaaaa, ok, I pray we leave here quickly today
KEMI: and what happens if you don’t leave on time?
ME: I don’t know oooo,
KEMI: ok, let’s do it this way
ME: how?
KEMI: with the situation of things, I don’t think I would
be able to sneak out again today after this moment
ME: huuuuuuh

segun was also looking at me and shaking his head at
the same time.
