SECOND MEETING
Kim drove to Amber’s house, she got down from the car and walked into the house. She met her mom and greeted, with a smile. She responded and hugged her.
“I guess you’re here for Amber?” Helen questioned, she nodded and mumbled, “Yes.”
“She’s in her room, please tell her that am going to the supermarket.” She muttered.
“Alright, mom take care.” Kim replied and walked to Amber’s room, she knocked on the door and she heard a voice tell her to come in. She opened the door and entered the room. Amber was surprised to see her.
“Kim!” She called, staring at her. “Seriously, so didn’t want to talk about it. You want to keep it to yourself.” Kim said.
“Kim, what are you saying? Com’on nah, alright have a seat. Let’s talk it out.” Amber muttered.
“Talk what out? I’m leaving and before I go, mom said that she’s going to the supermarket.” Kim replied and was about leaving the room, Amber stopped her.
“What?” Kim asked, as she turned staring at her. “I’m getting married..” Amber muttered.
“Exactly why am here. Tell me why you would keep such good news from me, your bestie.” Kim said.
“I’m sorry, it came as a surprise to me and you know what stuff has been keeping me busy.”
“Wh@tëver!” Kim said, rolling her eyes. “I’m sorry, it’s has not been up to ten minutes, I came back from the restaurant. I was with him.”
Kim smiled and giggled, Com’on tell me about it, don’t tell me that you don’t like him oh. Anyways both of you are engaged.” Kim said, smiling.
“Whether you like him or not, the marriage has been fixed. But trust me, he’s good man.”
“Uhm, what would you like to have? We can go to the kitchen and prepare something.”
“Oshey” [Thank you] Kim mumbled. “I’m going home to take care of my husband…”
“Oh, I see. I’ve forgotten that you’re married, you’re now Mrs Femi.” She muttered and sighed.
“So you’re not going to eat anything?” Amber asked. “I’m sorry, I’ve to rush back home.” Kim muttered.
“Okay. Take care, lemme see you off.” She muttered. “Alright.” Kim said and they came downstairs, they headed to the car.
“Kim, remember the guy I was telling about, that I almost hit with my car on my way to the hospital.”
“Yeah, I remembered him. What happened? Is he dead?” Kim asked, trembling.
“God forbid, He’s not dead.” Amber replied, quickly. “Okay, what’s wrong with him?”
“Nothing, I’m just worried.” Amber muttered. “I understand, but don’t stress yourself out and I believe that if there’s any problem, the young girl will call you up.” Kim said.
“Yeah, I think so too. Anyways it’s getting late, Femi might be waiting for you.” Amber said.
“See you later. I know you might be wondering how I got to about your engagement.” Kim said, staring at her.
“Social media, I wish you good luck and don’t mess up this one, I know you haven’t. He’s a good man from a reputable family. His mom…she’s lovely and she likes me.”
“Then tell me why you don’t like her son?” Kim asked, she smiled over it. “It’s getting late, Femi is waiting.”
Kim hissed and acted like she wanted to hit her, Amber chuckled softly. “I love best.” Kim said. “I love you too.” She replied and she drove out of the compound.

Kunle got home, feeling tired. He dropped his briefcase on the couch, the maid walked in and greeted him.
“Please get me water.” He mumbled and immediately the maid left and returned with a glass of water.
“How did it go?” Simi asked. “Well, cool.” He muttered and smiled. “Mom went to the market.” She muttered, like she knows what was on his mind.
“Alright, I need to freshen up.” He muttered and stood, he grabbed his briefcase. “You don’t like okay?” She muttered, looking at him.
“I’m okay, alright am just tired, I need rest.” He replied and walked toward the stairs. “Okay, hope you guys had fun?” She yelled, he nodded in response.
Kunle went to his room and removed his clothes, he headed to the bathroom. Some minutes later, he was done. He dressed up and laid on the bed, staring at the ceiling.

The next day, Kunle and Amber were walking around the garden in his house. “So how was your day?”
“Cool, fun.” She muttered. “Wow, tell me more about it, Miss workaholic.” He said, smiling.
“Can you stop calling that?” She muttered, with a little anger in her tone. “Well, how can I stop? I mean that’s you.”
“Stop acting like you care about my wellbeing. I know guys like you, pretenders.” She grin.
“Oh, well I would say that you haven’t come across real men. Real men don’t pretend, Miss you dated a boy. Not a man.”
“Just shut up and stop being nice to me, it’s won’t change anything.” Amber yelled, her mom walked in.
“Hi, mom. What are you doing here?” Amber asked, smiling as if nothing happened.
“Well, I heard your voice like you are scolding someone.” Her mom replied, looking at her.
“Well, nothing. I mean am having a nice time with my new…” She paused and glance at him. “Man..” She completed her statement.
“Okay, I hope you guys are having fun?” Her asked. “Yes, we are.” Amber replied.
“But I wasn’t talking to you..” Helen said, looking at her. “Well, you said you guys. I didn’t know that you were talking to him.”
“Mom, we’re fine. Thanks for checking on us.” He replied, smiling. “You’re welcome, my dear.” Amber’s mom replied.
“Good at acting.” He muttered, looking away as he slid his hands into his pockets.
“It’s non of your business.” She said, and was about to leave, he held her right hand and pulled her to himself.
“What are you doing?” She stammered. “Lovely dress.” He whispered, smiling, she pushed him off and walked out of the garden. “You didn’t tell me about your day. The fun..” He yelled, she didn’t turned to him but showed him her middle finger. He burst into laughter.
“Silly girl, acting like child.” He said to himself, shaking his head. He left the garden.
