[Episode 8] My Days in Trixwin By Kelvin Ossai
It was 3:55pm already. I was unlocking my phone to dial Favour's number when my phone rang. It was Favour.
Me: Hello
Favour: Where are you?
Me: At the junction
Favour: Which side?
Me: At the electronics shop.
Favour: Ok.
*****************************
She dropped the call and just few seconds brought her to where I was. On sighting her, I became shy.
Me: Good evening.
Favour: Good evening dear.
Me: You can keep to time sha.
Favour: (Smiles) lets go or is this place your house?
Me: I'm sorry.
*************
I've gained my boldness now.
We got to my place. I opened the door and motioned her inside.
Favour: You have a nice place.
Me: Thank you.
***************
I directed her to have her sit and I went outside and switched on the generator. I don't have TV as I'm not a fan of movie (save Korean movies, I don't joke with it so I can't watch it in school). I pulled up my phone, removed my earpiece from the phone and plugged it (the phone) to the sound system.
The room started bouncing from Tekno's Pana bass. (una know as that song get bass na).
**********************************
Me: Welcome to my place Miss Favour.
Favour: Thank you. But you should have just took me to a dance hall instead of this. (Sarcasm).
Me: (I smiled). You think I can't do that?
Favour: I didn't say so o.
Me: Ok. Next week, we will be going out, I promise. (this was how my story started).
Favour: Hmm ok oh.
Me: Wait I'm coming.
Favour: Ok.

I went to a nearby fast food joint opposite Adagor filling station and bought fried rice and chicken for her. It cost me N600. I got home just to look at my door and I saw a footwear that wasn't there when I left.
I knocked and opened the door and it was James.
***********************************************
***********************************************
James: Come, you remember your gen today? Who give you money buy fuel?
Me: Who invite you come my house?
James: I nor get anything wey I dey do for house jhor.
Me: Better go find something do oh. You dey inconvenience my visitor.
Favour: Don't mind him oh. I'm ok.
James: You see say you be idiot. Favour how're you na?
Favour: I'm fine. You know my name?
James: Yeah. He has being telling us about you.
*********************************************
There was even a time we rushed him to a hospital because of the heart attack he got thinking about you.

James: For wetin? Wetin dey that nylon wey you hold?
Me: Wetin concern you? (handed it to favour)
Favour: Wow, thanks. We can still eat it together.
***********************************************
She hasn't finished talking when James took spoon from the basket. I know say nothing I go fit talk again.
Favour: Are you not joining us?
*******************************
*******************************
I had no option than to collect a spoon and we killed the food.
After about an hour of talking about school and happenings in Ogwashi uku, James decided to leave. Idiot.
Favour: Don't you have blues?
Me: (Na me get blues na) I do.
*****************************
*****************************
I picked up my phone; typed 'celine' in my music list and all the Celine Dions lined up like primary 2 pupils.
The first track that played was 'if that's all it takes'; one of my best Celine Dion tracks.
The music was doing its magic while I started a conversation.
Me; Are you a chelsea fan?
Favour: Yes. What about that?
Me: We both like many things in common but now, I've seen our difference. I'm a die-hard Man U fan.
Favour: I nor dey watch Chelsea match again self since them start to dey loose match if I go watch them.(the babe don dey deny Chelsea, lol).
Me: (This girl, e be like say na last season you watch match last oh because Chelsea this season don loose only 2 matches, Liverpool and Arsenal but I can't tell her that because I hate making people feel outdated.) good, just join the winning team Man Utd and enjoy football.
Favour: I hear.
We spent time talking about ourselves. Before we knew what was happening, it was already 7:39pm.
Guess what she said?
Did she go home or not?
