That was when I heard the most beautiful angelic voice I could ever imagine.
Hello? it sounded like a question and at same time it sounded like a greeting
wow! was all I could say.
There was this lingering silence. Both of us waiting for the other person to speak first. I had never been at lost for words in the presence of a girl. but that voice...God!, was something else.
hello, how are you? she spoke at last
I am fine angel. what of you?
fine she said giggling.
I have heard a lot about you from Julie but its beautiful to finally hear the voice behind the beautiful pictures she had been sending on w******p.
she giggled some more. I have also heard a lot about you too .
hope to meet you soon. Hope you will come to Abuja for your Housmanship or national service program.
I hope so too but I have no relation over there.
But you are my sister's best friend so we are family don't you think so?
Yea we are but I wouldn't want to over burden you guys.
Who ever gave you the idea that you will be a burden to us?
No one. thanks for the offer though. I should give the phone to Julie now
no no no please keep talking, I am in love with your voice.
what? I heard Julie's scream at the other end. say that again she taunted .
mind your business Julie, give the phone back to Amanda.
No you will scare her. thank God I was already with the phone when you started your flirting.
who said I was flirting. I was saying the truth. her voice is like that of an angel.
please don't mess with Amanda, she is not one of your girls
hmmm. I chuckled. let's see how it goes.
Kingsley! I warn you she threatened.
hahahaha. I laughed in response. bye little sis.
Bye big bro. thanks for the call
pleasure is mine. I answered cutting the line.
After the call, I couldn't help myself, I opened the numerous pictures Julie had been sending to me on watsapp of herself and her roommate Amanda.
she always talk of her new friend Amanda and how intelligent she is. Her grades are encouraging, thanks to Amanda.
I had never actually looked at these pictures before now. I had this sudden desire to check out the face of the person that owned this beautiful voice that seemed to have enchanted me.
God, she is actually an angel. the innocence in her chocolate brown eyes, her natural pink lips, her creamy light skin, the most beautiful set of white teeth that is suitable for toothpaste advert and her natural dimples that appears on both cheeks.
she seems to love smiling a lot because she is smiling in all the pictures that Julie sent to me. suddenly I have this desire to keep those smiles permanently on her face.
what was I thinking? how can I be thinking of a girl that I have never met. mtchwww. this can't be happening to me.
I left the phone on my bed and rush to the bathroom to shower and prepare for the club. yes, that is the kind of thing I do not thinking about a particular girl aghrrrrr
I wore a simple white top that shows off my abs with fitted blue jeans. yeah, it's all designers. and yes, I love to look good so I workout regularly. matching the clothes with my designers watch and sneakers, I checked myself in the mirror as I brush my hair.
hmmm. the boy is good. I love what I see. After applying my signature perfume I set out for the evening with my driver Akpan.
when I got to the parking lot, Akpan was standing beside the car.
I made a decision on where to spend the night.
Akpan please drive to the Cubana lounge. Yes boss. he replied opening the back site for me.
Throughout the ride, my mind was constantly drifting back to the photos and the angelic voice I encountered a while ago.
After coming out of town, we drove some more miles before we got to the heart of Abuja, where the Cubana lounge is located. The Cubana lounge is a perfect place to enjoy and relax on a Friday night. it is where you can drink while being serenaded with good music. Exactly what my mood need.
I resisted the urge to call my friend Chris. what I need now is a me time. Chris and I have been friends since secondary School. it was because of me that he decided to come to Abuja. He studied Engineering and currently owns a construction company that is doing great.
As I step in, I took in the environment. this place never fails to impress me. I noticed some single ladies at some tables. hopefully waiting for people like us for hook up hmmm.
'Kingsley' a loud familiar voice called out behind me. Talk of the devil. it's Christian.
Chris! I returned, hugging my best friend.
'good to see you man' he said hugging me back
You are here alone? I asked raising my brows
Yeah, I needed some 'me' time. he said sounding guilty.
chill men. I am also here for a me time I said patting his shoulder in a comforting manner.
cool then, let's hit the bar together he smiled, dragging me along.
so, xup? he asked as soon as the bar man hand over our choice drinks.
Nothing men, I just feel like chilling alone. You know, enjoy my drink while I admire these wonderful art of God I smirked referring to the the beautiful ladies across the room.
kings man! he high five me, you never change.
Who will I change for? I am the hottest bachelor in town, that's good enough.
hmmm. one day, you will be bitten by the love bug. I hope your past will not interfere.
love my foot. love is for the weak not for me
you never know he said sipping his wine.
No no no, I am Kingsley Obi, I don't do love I laughingly said.
How is your little sister Julie? hope she is coping with school life.
yeah, she is cool. But enough about me. How is your business hope you got the contract we spoke about last month?
Not yet but I am still hopeful. he replied nonchalantly.
you know you can always ask for my help if you ever need it . I asked raising my brows as I sip my wine.
Guy, we've been through this before. I told you I wanted to make it on my own. I appreciate the offer but it's best I struggle it out myself
cool men, one love. I a said patting his shoulder.
we chatted about so many things till 1am when we decided to call it a day.
We both chat of other things as we walked to the parking lot. He went to his car while I went to mine after saying our goodbyes.
We both left without girls for the night.
it's not what think. probably, I am not in the mood tonight. tomorrow is another day.
