CHAPTER 43

.
.
After work, I went out Chima and we ate and he made jokes, comedy and so many romantic moves..
I was surprised at first but also happy that Chima is changed at least he gives me more attention than before..
Today, I must say was the best day of my life with Chima..
We were done for the day and Chima decided to take me home…
On our way home…., Chima started the conversation.
Chima : Baby.. I…. I want to tell you something important but I'm… Oh God.. how do I say this..? where do I start from ehh…???
Amanda: (my heart was beating fast, I hope it not what I'm thinking {It's Over btw Us} ‘Cos I'm not ready to hear that oo) I said to myself..
Then summoned courage to ask Chima.. What is it dear… Start from anywhere pls. what is bothering you.. please talk to me or are you trying to break up with me.. ???
Chima: Ehh.. isi gini (what did you say) I dey craze maka why (I'm I mad, for what reason). No dearie I can't break up with you.. not now
Amanda: (surprised and shocked) What do you mean by ‘Not now Chima ‘.??.
Chima: ahh.. baby love, Is not what I mean.. what I meant was I can't break up or leave you Not now, Never.. (he lied).
Amanda: (relaxed) Okay dear, I know you wouldn't do that to me..
Chima: I won't dear (he said) as his mood changed again (pretending he's worried 😟🙁).
Amanda : What's wrong with you dearie..??? Talk to me.
Chima: Baby, you know the last time you called and a girl picked it and later told you she was my niece.
Amanda: Yes, I remembered vividly
Chima: Baby, sh..sh… she called again crying that my aunty is at the point of death if I did not bring five hundred thousand naira for her treatment and baby you know she is the only family I have after my parents died and left me.
Amanda: (concerned) OMG !!! What is wrong with her, what is the cause of her sickness?? I want to know, I'm a doctor you know.. let me see how I can help.
Chima : Baby, I thought of that too but with the level of her sickness she can't be transported or transferred to another hospital because in the 12hrs she dies and… and (he started crying ).
Amanda: Oh God!! Chima this is the first time I'm seeing you like this.. that means the sickness is so serious oo.. please don't cry again unless I will cry too.
Chima pretending) dear, why won't I not cry when I the only male and family to my aunty is sick and I don't have the money to pay for her sickness ehh.. I'm such a shame in my family dear.. so I need to cry ok
Amanda crying aswell) You're not a shame Chima, you not… you know what I'm giving you the money for you to treat your aunty okay .
Chima: (cleaned his fake tears ) ehhn… babe you're giving me the money??? Did I hear you right 👉..?

Chima: My love thank you so much (he rushes and kissed her passionately).
Amanda: It's okay anything for my love.

Chima dropped me at my house the next day and told me he have to let his niece know of the good news…
Even though I wanted him to stay, I had to let him go when he mentioned his niece.
I had no choice.
He left and I walked in my house
>>> Amanda's P.O.V >>>
'Aunty. Amanda.. Im. Sorry. Will. You. Still. Forgive. Me. For. Breaking. Your. Things. If I. wash the. Whole. Bathroom?" He asked.
He's been apologising over and over again ever since he broke my utensils and TV ..
I have cleaned up the mess he did in the sitting-room.
I've made Oat meal
He said he'do take his with the pancake, but I'll take mine with ‘bread'.
I dropped his plate on his seat which is the right seat and dropped a tin milk beside.
He was standing at the draining board doing the same funny thing he did yesterday.
'You should drop that and come eat." I told him.
He shook his head.
'I. will. Not. Eat. If you. Have. Not Forgiven. Me." He said.
I breathed, 'Ofcourse I had." I said and I was sincere.
He turned and faed me with his babyish look, 'Are. You. Sure?" He said.
I nodded. Just like he do.
He slowly started to smile, he did it till it turned to a really wide grin.
Okay, for the second time, I didn't see it coming.
I was busy, staring at the way he smiled and those dimples that I didn't know when he rushed me in a really tight hug and refused to let go.
I gasped.
'Thank. You. Thank. You. Thank you. Thank. You. Im happyyyyyy." He sang.
'Louis! You are holding me too tighttt." I let out.
He quickly released the grip but still was hugging me.
I widened my eyes.
Few of his hair was brushing against my cheek and my ear, tickling me.
Then he began rocking me like a baby, patting my back softly and began singing;
'I Love you.. You love me, We are friends, Like friends should be, With a great big hug.. And…"
A kiss??
'…kiss from. Me, to you.." he sang and then paused.
I gasped… I just hope it's not what I'm thinking..
I quickly pulled away with a slight frown.
He stared at me and sucked on his bottom lip.
'Where did you learn that song from?" I asked.
'My Sister. Loved. Singing. It."
'Your sister?" I asked.
He has a sister.
He nodded.
'What's her name. Can you tell me about her?" I asked.
'I. Don't. Know." He said.
'You don't know about who you just mentioned. You sister?" I asked.
He nodded.
I sighed.
Just the same thing he said when I asked about his dad.
And I could see the sincerity in his voice and expression.
He isn't lying.
'It's okay." I said.
'I've. Not. Finish. Singing." He said.
I chuckled, 'Come let's eat. The oat meal is getting cold and I'm running late for work." I said as walked to the breakfast bar and sat on the left seat.
He came over and sat down and we began eating..
I remembered Chima
God help me. I really need to go to the bank before getting to the hospital.
I don't know this Aunty of his but I don't mind giving him the money.
He was crying while telling everything to me last night.
He was telling the truth.
That's quite a huge money but his aunty's health is more important.
I looked at Louis who ate slowly.
'Louis, will you follow me to the hospital so that you will meet a doctor for your brain treatment next week?? " I asked him.
He nodded calmly but asked again, ‘Are you not a doctor too, I want you alone to treat me pls…
'Good " I breathed but you have to go aswell with me ok .
Okay aunty.
*
*
After eating.
I got up to take the plates to the sink but Louis was fast enough to grab the plates.
'I.will. Wash. Them. I promise. Not to break. Them." He said.
'It's fine. I'll go take my bath and dress up for work. You should take your bathe as well when you are done." I said and he nodded.
I walked out.
*
*
Inside my room, I undressed, walked to the bathroom and took a bathe.
I dressed in a White tight gown and black heels after.
Dressed my hair, did a light makeup to my face.
Carried my black bag and walked out with my car keys.
Louis wasn't out in the sitting-room.
Is he still washing the plates since that time?
I walked out to his room.
The door was wide open.
'Louis are yo—" I was cut short by another staked naked ‘Louis'
Oh my God!
I don't know why I didn't look away.
I stood at the door as I fixed my eyes on him.. On his d**k actually with mouth agape.
'I'm. Sorry. I. was. Bathing." He said as he began coming close.
Acting like there was nothing wrong.
Acting like he's just four and knows nothing like ‘being naked in front of a lady'
Damn! It was dangling.
'No no.. Go and wear something." I said, still looking at him.
He stopped. Then nodded.
Then he turned back.
I still kept staring.
Then my consciousness hit me and I quickly looked away.
What are you looking at??
I brought out my phone and fixed my eyes on it…
The time is 9: 00am..
I scrolled to my gallery and began staring at my pictures including the ones I took with Chima. The ones I took with Eva and the ones I took with some patients that I treated at the hospirtal.
Till I heard him say;
'I'm. Donee."
I looked at him. He had a smile with his arms spread wide open.
I inhaled.. 'I'm going to work. Stay home. Don't leave and don't spoil anything again. Don't cook. There's cornflakes in the fridge. Make it by putting pouring it on a plate, add a little water and milk. I'll buy food when I'm coming back. " I said.
I was about walking out when he said;
'I. Will. Miss. You Aunty Amanda." He said.
I raised my eyebrows.
Really?
Then I smiled, 'I'll be back soon. Come close the gate." I said and walked away.
He followed behind.
*
*
When I entered my phone and drove out.
I exhaled a really long breathe..like I've been choking for hours!
I can't believe the weirdness.
'Louis, you won't make me do something stupid one day." I mumbled.
First was hugging me, then pausing that song like you were looking for how to really kiss me.
Then letting me see your d**k for the second time!
Goodness!
*
*
I stopped by the bank and it took me almost an hour to send that money to him.
To Chima.
Five hundred thousand naira.
I was really grateful when I was done.
I rushed back to my car and drove straight to work.
A message from Chima few minutes later.
**OMG! I just received the alert. Wow thank you so much honeypie. I love youuuuu. My aunty is finally gonna live! Thank you so much baby. I love you from the deepest side of my heart.
You mean the whole world to me. Im incomplete without you. My Angel.**
I smiled after reading his message.
I'll call him when I get to work.
…………………………………………
>>> Chima's P.O.V >>>
Wow… the dummy sent the money.
FIVE hundred thousand naira no be small money ooh!
I laughed.
Soon, I'll be in one of the expensive hotels in this Naija with Gift, his new babe I just met on Instagram .
This new hot babe I met on facebook, Gift she's really making me go crazy with her big butt..
She's coming over soon and she's the main reason I need this cash and now I've got it from theY dummiest girl ever..
Im gonna call Gift that im ready for her.
Wowww… Chima you are fire!
Um..
'Maybe I should call Ola to get a share too?"
Ofcourse!
She'do get a little from the money if she rides my d**k so well like she do best.
And Lizzy..
She can get a little too by shaking that bitchy ass of hers for me.
Linda is damn good at giving a blow job and she's so beautiful.
Im calling her too.
Enjoyment.. Till the money finishes and I'll sure get another one from the dummy, Amanda with a just a simple lie and a touch of my finger on her skin.
Hahahahahaha.
'Life is sweet. Let me call Ola.."
I was going through my contacts for her line when Amanda's call came in.
This dummy.
I picked up and smiled, 'Hello sugar.. You should know how happy I am right now. You are so the best girlfriend in the world." I said.
'Treat your Aunty.. His health is more important. I love you so much." She said.
Aunty indeed.
'I will honey.. I was about calling Ada when your call came. She'll be so grateful." I said and laughed within.
'It's nothing. I will do anything for you, so far that makes you happy." She said.
'Awwn.. My sunshine. My everything. You have my heart till eternity. I love you deeply and I will never stop." I said and rolled my eyes.
'I wanna get busy now. Bye baby." She said.
'Honey, can I come by tonight. I really wanna spend my night with you again.. Please." I said.
'Alright heartbeat." She said.
Heartbeat indeed.
'Awwn. I can't wait to see you. Bye honeypie." I said.
'Me too."
She giggled before dropping the call.
I rolled my eyes again, 'Dummy."
I called Ola.
She picked immediately.
I wonder if she do stay a minute without her phone.
'Hey boo. Missed you oh." She said.
'I don't miss you. I only miss the thing you best." I said with a smile.
'I'm always ready. Is it tonight?" She asked.
'No, tomorrow night." I said.
'How much you go wire me?" She asked.
'30k" I said.
'70" She.
'50." I said.
'Okay.. Na because of you oh. You know me na big girl. Na big men I dey give my p**y." She said.
'See you by ten tomorrow night." I said and ended the call.
I called Brenda.
She picked up after few rings.
'Wow… Chima this one you called me. E be like say konji don hold you again abi (Chima, are hope you're with yourself this one you called my number).."
Wide mouth.
'Brenda. I get something for you. Are you in?" I said.
'I no dey collect less than 40k" She said.
'No probs. Money dey. I'll call you later." I smiled.
Lizzy was next.
Lizzy is truelly my colleague at work…but I wonder why she wasn't at work today.
Remember the dummy saw her in my car some weeks ago.
She can twerk so damn good and make your head spin.
I'll call Gift later.
And about me going to spend another night with Amanda .
Oh that?
She likes it… She can't deny.
