Chapter 4

when she leaves, I continue the book but drop it after a while. I take the laptop and place it on the bed getting comfortable. Now how do I open it. I think to myself. I just open the screen and to my surprise it isn't passworded. I watch a nice movie named ' the scary movie' on like the name the movie was actually very funny. After that I take a long nap.

I wake up to an empty house. I just go into the kitchen and I find a very nice looking potato and stewed vegetables. It looks really nice. My mouth starts to water as I serve the food. I microwave my portion and did another one for Keke. I really hope she is ok. I go straight to the make shift dinning and gobble down my portion. As I was about to take the last bit. I hear a soft knock on the door. "Come in" was my reply. "Hey good evening. I hope you enjoyed your day?" She asks. " I did oo. How was your day?" I ask in return. " It was great." She replies. " Come and have your seat." She comes in and I see that she is on a different dress from this morning. I this time it is a long white silky dress that has a furry hem. I stand up and rush into the kitchen to get her food. She just smiled softly. I serve water and sat opposite her. She starts to eat slowly enjoying the taste of her own food.

After her meal I clear the table and and did the dishes. I come over to the room to see her smiling to herself. Her eyes where a little glassy like she was about to cry. "Keke! Keke! Keke!" She answers me after a slight tap on her shoulders. Just like it was never there those emotions I saw earlier vanished. "Are you feeling ok?" I ask she just looks at me with one of her beautiful smiles and says" I am fine. So ... Gist me about your day. Did you watch a movie or read a novel?" Not wanting to intrude cause I have no right to. I go along with her line is conversation. I tell her about my day and how I slept the half of it away. She tells me about he day in school and how her lecturer was getting on her last nerve" I was almost forced to tell him shut up!" I laugh at the expression of anger on her face. " Last time I checked you have not gotten admission into any other school so don't even think about it. Plus you know how Nigerians can be now. They will pour all the blame on you and tell you.; You have no respect" I say. " I wouldn't even dear it not in my dream abeg I want to finish school oo." She responds. " So what course are you studying?" I ask trying to get any information about her. " Well I am studying Law." I look at her and ask" why?" She just smile and say" let's just say I hate injustice"." I know there is more to this store and this is what I can get out of her for now so I just go with it. We laugh and played about some of my childhood experiences after I told her how I sneaked into my father's room because I was trying to escape classes, she laughs uncontrollably. I look at her and smile she has a beautiful personality but there is something dark beneath it. I will find out....
