I exhaled and replied.
“I didn't hear the phone ring” I lied.
“And I quite busy Camile. I just got home and I was about to take off my clothes and rush to the shower before you called” I explained.
“Okay well you could have just said that to me instead of ignoring my calls” she said.
“Im sorry Camile but I'm just a little bit tired from today's service” I responded hoping she would cut me some slack and end the call but who was I kidding? To my greatest surprise she continued.
“i know you said that you don't find the Bishop's son attractive but I do. I've just been thinking about since I got home and I can't stop thinking about him” Camile said.
“well, I really don't see anything fascinating about him” I responded.
“i wonder why you don't see anything attractive in him. I mean just looking at him from his hair to his eyes to his nose to his lip. Oh my goodness his lips are so sexy” Camile said with a hint of excitement.
I rolled my eyes in disgust and the thought of how tired and hungry I was made me so angry.
“you know what Camile, I think I'm going to have to call you back because I need to run an errand for my mom real quick” I lied to her about my mom sending me on an errand because that was the only way she would ever agree to me ending the call.
I ended the call, sighed and dropped the phone angrily.
I was not in the mood for anything at that moment.
I slumped on the bed like a log of wood and stared at the ceiling.
Moments later my phone rang.
I thought it was my best friend Camille so I ignored the call.
Then a text came in just immediately the call ended.
“hey, it was wonderful seeing you today after a long time, you still got your good looks too. Was really hoping we'd catch up but you left real quick. Hope to see you again”
My heart skipped a beat. “who could this be?” I asked myself.
I looked at the text again and I tried to remember who else would have my number in church but none came to mind.
I held my phone and texted back “sorry I really don't know who this is” I replied hoping the unknown caller would give me a name.
I waited for about thirty minutes but there was no response from the person so I dropped my phone.
As I was about to walk nto the bathroom for a cool and relaxing shower.
My phone beeped and I Immediately rushed towards my phone's direction to see if the anonymous person had responded.
I picked up my phone and it was the unknown caller.
Finally I exclaimed as my anxiety and anxiousness was taking the best out of me.
I opened the message and I was disappointed. It wasn't what I was expecting.
I read the message and I felt a little bit of rage.
“you do not need to know who I am for now” I read the message aloud.
I rolled my eyes and hissed in disgust.
“Then why are you texting me now!” I yelled at my phone as if it could hear me or the stranger at the other end of the phone could hear me.
I hated games so much and I disliked people who played mind games.
This person is obviously f*****g with me. I retorted as I threw my phone on the bed and walked straight to my bathroom.
I sat on the bathtub and submerged myself inside the little pool I had created for myself in my bathtub.
The thoughts of my final exams approaching and how I was going to be the one to meet the most wealthy clients ever was a burden in my heart.
“How am I going to pull this off? ”
“What if I don't pass this exam?”
“What if the company loses this deal because of me? ”
These were the questions that flooded my mind as I closed my eyes.
“What exactly am I going to do ?”
“I need to pass this final exams so I can be promoted” I said to myself.
I held my rosary and prayed a little.
Then I stood up, took my towel and headed straight to my room to lie down.
I was halfway asleep when my phone rang again.
It was Camile again.
“Urgggh!” I groaned in anger.
I took my phone and silenced the call.
Immediately she called again and I ended the call.
“Not now Camile” I yelled as I placed my phone on flight mode.
Why can't she just leave me alone or better still she should have just ask for his number from him instead of disturbing me. I groan as I rolled on my soft bed looking for a comfortable position to lie on.
I woke up to the brightness of a sunny day.
The sun was so bright it was almost blinding and impeding my vision.
I squinted my eyes and yawn.
I stood up from the bed and took my phone.
“elevwn missed call? My goodness” I shouted as I rushed to the bathroom. I immediately took my bath and hurried out of the room and stumbled on the stairs.
My mom who was preparing breakfast in the kitchen turned to see who that was.
“good morning darling I'm preparing breakfast” my mom said warmly with a smile on her face.
I hurriedly told her I was late for my final exams and I didn't have the luxury of time for breakfast.
I hurriedly left the house and boarded a taxi.
Getting to work, I was already feeling exhausted and tired due to the marathon race I had to run because I was already late.
I held the door knob to the building and checked my phone. It was already 9:30 a m.
By the time I opened the door, I saw Camile my best friend walking towards me. A look of concern on her face, “are you okay?” she asked
