Best Friend - Episode 5

 

" What exactly are you talking about? and by "we" do you mean you and I?" "You know I love you, I always have, I mean right from the first day I set my eyes on you". "Kunle I thought doctors are the ones that advice people not to abuse drugs, so why are you high on some cheap drug?" Paris replied with a hysterical laugh. "Paris cut the jokes I have never been more serious in my entire life, no woman has made me feel the way I feel for you I have fought these feelings over the years but there are still as strong as ever" . "Wow that's so sweet, I just wonder how many other girls you have used that lame pick up line on, anyways I don't have time for your drama today I already have a full cup." She turned to go, with two long steps, he walked up to her catching her by the hand "I have never ever said these to any woman because its you I wish to spend the rest of my life with, its for I want to put on a wedding suit" he said on reaching her, she pulled her hands off his, "what kind of an animal are you am your best friends fiance for goodness sake and maybe you haven't heard he fixed the date already fool" she said stumping angrily out the front door.

"Mahn you really look stressed out" Dustan said as he sipped the soft drink he always took when we hang out, "yeah it has been a rough week, one thing after the other" I replied absent mindedly. "How is Mumcy?" He asked referring to my mum as we called her " bro she is fine oo but this her slumping is really beginning to trouble me, I mean this is the third time this year"

. "Why don't you do a scan or something and find out what's wrong, that's why she sent her last dime to see you through med school" he said concerned, " trust me man I have and nothing is showing up I think she just needs to rest, that whole restaurant business is wearing her out, I think its about time she quits that". "I totally agree, convincing her now is just the problem you know how much she actually enjoys cooking besides she is not the kind of woman that would ever want to just sit and do nothing". " Yea but that's why I insisted she hires four girls since we expanded the place, so she can just supervise but she still doesn't believe they can satisfy her customers like her own cooking ". "But in truth you know her cooking is special, can't forget how we raided her kitchen when we passed by from school and she would make us pound fufu so we could go third round" Dustan said laughing, I could not help but laugh too. "Good to meet you guys laughing and enjoying yourselves without me, you could not wait abi?" Kunle jokingly said as he walked in just when the steaming hot fish pepper soup was served. The spot known for its superb fish pepper soup has been our hang out spot since it opened late last year. "Kunle why be say na when food done you the always show, so you still get this your talent". We all bust out laughing as Dustan teased him. "Mehn doctor work na suffer head o see as I tire" Kunle said as he settled down making a sign to one of the sales girl to come take his order. "Guy labourer work is available at our new site o just in case you wan quit your job, I fit connect you based on my guy wey you be." "Dustan your head no correct Kunle replied as we all laughed.

"Guy how far what of your babe, you guys have settled right?" Kunle said referring to me. "We still haven't talked till now, I even sent her messages on WhatsApp but she hasn't even been online." "Which kind vex be that wey no de finish?" Kunle asked "my brother am surprised too o" I responded while removing a bone from the fish in my mouth. "That's unlike Paris, I don't think its still that small stuff thats working her, I mean a guy has right to be jealous" Dustan said.

. "Yea after all you have done worse things that didn't fetch you three days of no talking, except maybe there is actually something going on between the two of them." Kunle added, pretending not to hear what he said I continued working on my pepper soup that was almost history. "How about you go to her place and check on her?" Dustan said as he checked for time on his phone, "sure I mean we can't start having small fights when we should be getting set for the 18th of September" I said subtly announcing the wedding date to them. "That's my man oo congrats bro so you finally set a date, on the 18th this town must hear am" Kunle shouted excitedly, the million dollar smile on Dustans face showed he was just as excited as Kunle.

"So I actually plan on going to pay Tunde a visit and apologize before going to see Paris" I said to Dustan, Kunle burst out, "For what? Don't even try that nonsense, how would you bring self down that level", a little surprised Dustan asked "and what is wrong with that?" In reality we both know he was a bit rude", Kunle replied angrily "Dustan please don't even give me that, for goodness sake who on earth goes to apologize to a man that's banging his woman in the name of friendship, you should be going to punch his face". " Kunle you must be very stupid, what the hell is that suppose to mean? You are talking about my fiance here for Christ sake" I suddenly bust out. "Oh Come on please don't tell me you believe the whole we are just friends bullshit" Kunle replied, Dustan who was getting as infuriated as I was asked "Kunle are you okay? What's with you sef". " OK am sorry if you are angry but am saying the truth and you know it, OK fine let me ask you this when last did you and Paris make love?" "How does that concern anything?" Dustan asked angered. "Am trying to prove a point here just answer me." Wanting to see where he was going with this I answered "We agreed on no sex before marriage". "Gbam I knew it" he said hitting his hand on the table "how do you think a grown woman would date you for four years with no sex and not complain if somebody is not giving it to her?" "Kunle something must be wrong with you this evening, so that's your reason for making such a useless accusation, the last time I checked women are not the ones always craving for sex", Dustan argued, "So says a man that has only known one woman all his life".Kunle fired back. "Not everybody's life is like yours that's only built on sex, you should be ashamed of yourself" Dustan said voice now rising. "You both should just shut the hell up" I said stamping my hand on the table. Hissing, I left angrily.
