Story of an Addiction.
I got home very happy. I went straight to the bathroom to shower. Got
on my bed, picked my phone and I saw that Bidemi has sent me a text.
The text read “I wish what happened today could happen every other
day. Just want to check if you are home. Missing you already. Bidemi
loves you. Hmwammm!”
My mind skips after reading the text: I know that I love her but with
those two military men around (the love no go grow). I dialled her
number and she picks….
Bidemi: Hello
Me: hello
Bidemi: it’s now that you have my time abi?
Me: no oooo! I had to take my bath and attend to some family chores
Bidemi: family chores that’s more important than me.
Me: it’s not like that (mum calls from distance “femi” )….
maaaaaa…. mummy is calling me. will call you later in the day.
better still, let’s do night call
Bidemi: (giggling) okay… village boy…. maaaaaa
Me: you are not serious… later jo. love you
Bidemi: love you too (hangs off).
Rushed out to meet my mum. She said that she has already collected GCE
form for me, that I should go to the cafe with my elder brother to

mummy. It’s okay, just start reading your books. Ese gan ma. Peck her
on her cheek and left.

she went to bed early because of our proposed night call.
I’m now alone thinking of what might happen if our families got to
know about it. Lost in thought… I don’t know when I dozed off, only
for me to wake up around 5:45am with 22 missed calls on my phone. That
was when I remembered that my phone was on silent. Yeepa! This girl go
kill me today oooo. I Flashed her just for me to know if she’s
sleeping or not. She called me back immediately :
Me: Hello
Bidemi: you try oooo… I have been up all night because of you. Look
at the time now. Is this suppose to be your midnight call?
Me: I’m sorry…. my phone was on silent because I’m not used to night calling
Bidemi: na me con dey do night call abi?
Me: it’s not what I meant…. I’m sorry
Bidemi: it’s okay… at least you called. I can go to bed now.
Me : I will make it up to you… bye
Bidemi: bye dear (hangs off)
I slept back and woke up around 8:30am. My kid sister has done all the
domestic work. I went to the bathroom for...
