“Good morning
baby, hope you had a beautiful night. I will be in my room throughout today;
will you like to spend the day with me? Reply please. Love you.” And I scrolled
and read the text message from Nancy
again — am I dreaming? Hold on, did she call me ‘baby’? Hope this is not the
final invitation to the lion’s den? Millions of unimaginable thoughts flew
through my mind as I perused the message the thirtieth time and more.
I replied
affirmative. And like someone pressed the fast-forward button on me, I
freshened up and was on the way to Nancy’s room.
It was a
public holiday, so Jessica was also
meant to be in her room, however, she was not there alone. As I walked near her
hostel, I saw Jessica clinging on a random guy, just the way she I loved her
doing on me. I paused and made sure that she saw me, and that was when the guy
came up to me.
