Asabe
met Dotun where he was packed ( adjacent her hostel), he offeredto take Asabe
to some nice places not too far from her school but she declined, the last
offer he made was to take Asabe to ‘Coldstone Creamery” this Asabe found
difficult to decline, at this point she imagined how difficult it was for Adam
to decline the apple offered to him by
sexy curvy Eve, for whatever reason Asabe has always had this idea that
Eve was a ‘hawt’ lady .Asabe loves Coldstone ice cream especially their ‘strawberry
blonde signature’.
Dotun
sat directly opposite Asabe and watched her devour the ice cream before her and
said;
Dotun:
Tell me about yourself
Asabe
: naaah,Let’s start with you
Dotun:
we would get to me, you first!
Asabe:
You already know my dad, Madam Lydia is my step mum, my mother died when I was
much younger ,ever since then, it’s been crazy putting up with Madam Lydia and
her vicious drama, coming to the hostel was a huge relief, like I don’t have to
see her until weekends, that’s if I decide to go home weekends, most times I
stay back in the hostel for some breath of fresh air…so! That’s basically my
story.
Dotun:
Interesting! Well unlike you I don’t have anything to say, you know everyone in
my family * tongue out*
Asabe:
Yes I do, except you though ,probably because you don’t stay in Nigeria
Dotun :LOL….Ok let me give you
a proper introduction; ( adjusts the collar of his polo shirt in a funny way)My name is Dotun, a medical doctor based
in Atlanta, I’m single and hopelessly in love with the lady sitting right
opposite me
Asabe:*covers face*hahahahaha
omG! Are you kidding me?
Dotun: awwww she is shy, lol….don’t
make me change your name to ‘Aisha” Lmao! Were you the one who did all the
cooking the other day?
Asabe: Yes, hope you liked it?
Dotun: Not sure yet, but I
believe when you cook that same food in my house in Atlanta, then I would be
sure!
Asabe: (was so happy and
couldn’t hide her joy) Well I’ve never been out of this country , so how do you
intend to achieve that?
Dotun: Don’t bother your pretty
head, I just need you to be on the same page with me, the rest will be handled
by our fathers.
Asabe while listening to Dotun
tried adjusting her hair, and in the process of turning back, she saw Madam
Lydia and Ladidi getting out of the car, Ladidi
loves Coldstone ice cream so much,so she knew Madam Lydia must have come
to get Ladidi some Ice cream, she immediately alerted Dotun who tried to shield
her so they won’t see her and then they left through the alternative exit.
As soon as they got got into
the car, Dotun drove off immediately, Asabe still wasn’t herself , she was
panting and said;
OmG that was close!
Dotun: Don’t worry ,very soon
there will be no Madam Lydia to run away from, only if out of the love you have
for her invite her to Atlanta,( he was being sarcastic)…hahahah
Asabe: Yea right!

Dotun got home that day an
excited man, his smile was so broad you
could see his beautiful dentition, his shoulders were high like a warrior from
Arochukwu who has conquered his opponent, Otunba noticed Dotun’s joy and asked
if he could share in his joy
Dotun: Daddy, I am just coming
from Asabe’s hostel.
Otunba: no wonder you are
smiling like an 18year old who just met his first girlfriend, so , lets hear
the good news, have you asked her to marry you yet?
Dotun: Ahn! Ahn!! Daddy!!! Why
are you old folks always so forward in things like this?
Otunba:beeeniii* (in Yoruba) because these days we have learnt that the
patient dog doesn’t get to see the plate used in eating the bone let alone the
fattest bone, so my son ,be fast about it, Asabe is a very good girl, I
personally don’t want you to miss out on this, yes ke!
Dotun: Well she was very
pleased to see me, and happy about all I said , she hopefully understands where
I am heading to, but was forming , you know girls now daddy,she was acting like
she wasn’t carried away by my sweet mouth, but she didn’t quite do well at
hiding her joy,because it was written all over her
Otunba: but you have to be
smart about it my dear son!

Shortly after Asabe got to the
hostel, she got a call from Madam Lydia;
Madam Lydia: hello
Asabe: good day ma
Madam Lydia: did I just see you
at Coldstone Creamery with a tall dark guy on dark shades at the parking lot?
Asabe: No ma<
Madam Lydia : I could swear it
was you, wearing a short yellow gown
Asabe: Something is wrong
somewhere ma, I am just coming out of a tutorial class, so it couldn’t have
been me.
Madam Lydia:Ok ! Next time I
know what to do. Because if that’s how you go about with men wasting my
husband’s money that you are in school, then…..*stammers* ok no problem.
Madam Lydia drops the call.
Asabe: As if that your husband
wasn’t my father first before he became your husband.
Great is the Lord and greatly
to be praised, his greatness is unsearchable! – Psalm 145:3
Welldone Tessy dear. More power to ur elbow
