I went for her lips and got there in time before she could put the spoon into her mouth.She succumb to my touches and the kissing was getting deep as time goes by.I raised my hand from it former position to her chest when someone called my name....."Muyiwa" a feminine voice called,'the devil don land sha,why?me just start na!!'I said to myself clenching my fist."Muyiwa" the voice called out again,I've been imagining things,f**k,I said when I realised that my caller was no other person than Becky.
"Aren't you eating?"she asked
"why not?"
"okay then,eat you know its getting late,only if you plan to sleep here tonight."
"for your church mind,mtcheew"
We finished eating and I got up,ready to leave.She escorted me half the distance to my hostel emphasizing on the fact that its late and she doesn't like walking alone at night.She went back to her hostel after a tight hug and good night kiss,wow!so wonderful!!I felt the urge to do it over and over again that the thought kept my company all my way to the hostel.I got there after some minutes of walks,I was surprised to see the front door locked.Fortunately,Hola came out that moment,wanting to ease himself.He drew back when he saw me,grabbing a foam close to the door,fear visibly written on his face.The view was hilarious and something to make fun at,I wanted more.I took my phone from my pocket,positioning it like a gun and pointing its tips at him,"Stop there" I said silently to him,he obeyed,going down on his knees,"mumu,e no sabi my voice sef".I got closer but then my phone rang making him(Khola),look at me murderously.
"B*****d!!"He mouthed and stood up,heading to the side of the building to ease himself.
'this caller f**k up,big time'I said to myself,I checked the screen but the number was not saved.
"hello" I said to the phone hoping it would deliver my voice to the ears of my caller.
"hello" A deep voice answered,making me tremble at the pitch of the sound which almost rendered my eardrum useless."let me go straight to the point,Your girl is with us and you have just 24 hours to come to the address I will send to you after this call,This is a serious matter and we are paid to kill her as soon as we get her in our custody but I don't want to do that and if you can meet my requirements I will release her to you,you can talk to her" He said while I listened carefully,could it be Becky?no,that can't be,she left and I didn't see anybody trailing her,how could this have happened,Oh,Lord,I don't want to be involved in this.Please lead me through.
Becky's voice sounded which confirmed my fears that she was the one help captive,who could be responsible for this?why her?did she offend someone?I couldn't get someone to answer my question.
"You have 24 hours to get here,I'm not demanding money from you cos I know you are a student,all I demand is your presence,then we can talk guy to guy,okay?"
"but sir....." He already ended the call.
"what's wrong Muyiwa?" Khola asked,just then my phone beeped,and the same phone number sent me a message which I knew contained the address.
"Your girl has been kidnapped bro and the person is demanding my attention" I explained to him
"My girl?did I miss the part of having a girl?who is she?"He asked questions which provoked me,but there is nothing I could possibly do than to answer his question with one word,Becky.
"what?" He exclaimed
"Ogbeni,don't wake other with your noise o." I said burying my head into my waiting palms.
"Tell me you are lying,tell me it isn't true" He said pacing up and down the room
"Like I did yesterday" I said and hissed
"But how? How did it happen?You were with her aren't you?"
"Guy your question too much"
"please tell me,how did it happen?" He pleaded,is he in love with her for real?why is he concerned about her?that's a question for another day anyway.
"She escorted me to some distance away from her hostel but went back midway,saying she doesn't like walking alone at night.That was all I remember and know,I got here and received the call that she has been kidnapped."
"Bro,you caused everything,why did you allow her to escort you in the first place?why didn't you sleep in her hostel?why?"
"don't blame me,it wasn't my fault,I didn't know this will happen"
"let me tell you this,I won't ever for give you if anything happen to her,okay?"
I nodded unable to find my voice,I haven't seen this kind of Khola before,yes,he is right,I caused everything.I should have slept there.But I didn't know this will happen,I didn't.
We couldn't sleep all through the night, each of us occupied with his own thoughts,we concluded that
we will go to the place together,just the a thought came into my mind,
I told Khola,"lets try her number, what if she isn't kidnapped?"
"Good Idea,use my phone"
I dialed her number and it rang,it was picked after the second sound.
"Hello,Muyiwa,glad to have you back" A familiar feminine voice said.
