Episode 4
Why did you shout?
He asked surprised.
She looked up at him and said softly
'I don't like being disturbed in moments like this'
Gloria wanted to ignore it but the person knocked one more time.
Ayo's hands were already on her bum.
The knock got them both pissed off.
Who wants to break the door?
'Am unclad oh!'
Gloria said, obviously trying to make the person leave.
'Jesus! Gloria, how many minutes did i leave here and you are unclad already'
Helen's voice streamed in.
Gloria rushed to open the door, while Ayo was shaking his head, knowing that the fun has ended.
Ehen! So you hot reach that level? Na God talk say make i forget my biro.
Helen said as she entered and eyed Ayo who wasn't surprised by the drama she was displaying.
'No, it's not like that, I wanted to make the person leave by saying that i was unclad, i didn't know you were the one. Abi i resemble person wey just 'sharply' remove cloth?
'Half your boobs are showing'
Helen replied while picking her pen.
'Sorry for spoiling your show'
She mockingly apologized to Ayo, then she walked out.
'I have to be going'
Ayo said as Gloria readjusted her cloth.
Why now, she has left, let’s talk a bit. She offered, but he declined politely saying something about a rehearsal he was to go for and he left.
Gloria spent the next hour wondering what could have happened, while taking a sneak look at the book Ayo got for her. She then took a look at herself.
For a lady like herself, she was not doing bad. Her parents who owned a large construction firm before they died, made a will to pass every of their shares to her, so that their hold on the company won't be lost. Despite the many appealing offers from other shareholders, she refuse to sell the shares, even when the company recorded some loses. It was all down to the determination of her lawer (her parents lawyer to be precise) that she still held the company in her grasp.
Her parents wealth, coupled with her lovely body that is curvy like that of toolz, a beautiful face to complete it made guys to chase her all around. Her classmates, her senior students in school, guys from other departments. Even a popular musician tried his luck at her.
All failed, until she met Ayo.
She remembered meeting him in the school library, on a particular day after day. He spoke intelligently and she liked him. They became friends, together most times studying or gisting. The chemistry between them got stronger and she couldn’t say 'NO' when Ayo finally proposed.
As she thought of all this, Helen entered into the room with a man.
Gloria looked at the guy (man rather), whose face and feature told the story of an Igbo boy who hustles and she faced Helen who dropped her books on the table.
'Jerry, this is one of my roomies, her name is Gloria.
Gloria, meet Jerry'
Hello Gloria, Jerry said while extending his large hand to her for a handshake.
Hi Jerry, she replied, smiling back which resonated to a smile from him.
He is cute sha. She thought loudly while looking at his clothes.
Jerry then excused himself out of the room, leaving Helen to her roommate.
Gloria eyed her keenly for almost an hour, while Helen uncomfortably cooked noodles and started eating. While eating, she still noticed Gloria staring at her.
'Gloria!'
'Helen!'
She had said nothing but her eyes told Helen all her mouth was holding back.
'He's just a friend, nothing more'
'It's a lie, Helen.
Haba! If na Jenny bring guy come now, you go talk another thing.
'Abeg no bring comparison between me and Jenny.
Can't i bring home a friend when i so wish?'
Where did you meet him?
Gloria asked.
'You are beginning to sound like you are my mom, abeg free me'
'Reverend sister, i greet you'
When Helen did not answer, Gloria moved closer and whispered something to her.
'Gloria, you don kolo, which kind thoughts be that one now? Someone wey i just meet for LLT3 two weeks ago'
"LLT3 is one of the school's lecture hall where faculty of science recieve lectures. It means Large Lecture Theater III."
'Ehen, i don get the answer i wan hear. But come oh, two weeks short na! You no even allow am reach one month'
'Abeg, he's just a friend'
Helen retorted
'A friend indeed! Wait till Jenny hears this'
Abeg no tell am. Helen pleaded, carrying a remorseful face.
'I go tell am jare, unless you give me part of that noodles wey you dey chop.
'But e don finish na'
'Na your luck be that! Gloria said triumphantly.
Helen, washed her dishes, then arranged her corner and went to bed.
Gloria waited for Jenny but 11pm she had not arrived.
Ha, wetin do this girl today, abi she don go sleep for Bayo house?
Gloria thought, battling hard not to sleep.
By 11:30, she is not back. Gloria was about to wake sleeping Helen up, when Jenny walked in

'Abeg, abeg, you no be my mama, no carry your own disturb me.

"Ijebu igbo is another town just after Ago iwoye where the school is located. B3 is one of the biggest night club in the school, if not the biggest"
'No vex abeg'
Jenny pleaded carrying a sober look.

'Ehn, kesh ke'
Gloria yelled.
