Chapter 11 Friendship with Mike

"Oh my God, Smallie, you can't live here. Give me Danielle's phone number, I need to call her right away." Mike said. "Don't worry, we are working towards that already. Thank you very much for your concern." Gabrielle gestured him to the door. Mike stood up and walked tiredly. He knew Bangkok lodge very well and what the occupants could do. He looked around the lodge when he came out of Gabrielle's room, shook his head before proceeding to the entrance. "Is he your boyfriend?" Brian asked and opened his eyes. He was surprised she was unclad. She was relaxed as though the person lying on the floor was a girl. He quickly shut his eyes back and threw his head away. Gabrielle reached for a white towel on her cloth hanger and wrapped it around her waist, ready for a bath. "He is not my boyfriend. He is just a friend. I accepted his hands of friendship yesterday and he promised not to go beyond friendship," Gabrielle explained. "He is a good guy, but you need to be careful with hi

Chapter 12 Friendship with Mike

“Smallie, your pictures are ready, are you coming for them?” Mike asked. “Where are they?” Gabrielle asked. “They are with me. Would you go with me after the game?” Mike asked. Gabrielle kept quiet for a few seconds. She needed to see her matriculation pictures but she was scared of his girlfriend. “I can come with you if you are scared of….Mike, what’s her name?” Agatha asked. “Jane,” he responded. “Honestly, I’m scared of her. Brian also warned me to beware of her,” Gabrielle said. Mike frowned his brows and looked away. He did not want the girls to notice he was mad at Brian. “Mike, why is your face like this? Did you not see the way she attacked me the other day? Well, we will go with you, but you must promise us that no one will attack us,” Gabrielle said. Mike’s lips curved with a smile. “Trust me, no one would come close to you guys,” Mike said with a grin. Soon the game began and Agatha sat under the Dogo Yaro tree as usual watching them. She wished she could p

Chapter 13 Brian begins to like Gabrielle

Gabrielle switched her small induction cooker on to preheat her already cooked food. She took a bucket of water she kept beside her bedroom door, ready to have her bathe before going to bed. She stood still, looking at Brian who rested his head on the chair he was sitting in and hung his legs on the window, wondering why he hardly bathed. "Have you bathed?" Gabrielle asked. Brian nodded his head with his eyes closed. "Okay, I'll be right back. Please turn off the cooker after five minutes," Gabrielle said before leaving the room. Someone was using the only bathroom the lodge had, so she had to join the queue. She dropped her water and stood behind it. Other girls dropped theirs and sat on the pavement that was close to the bathroom. "I heard some people are faking it in this lodge just to avoid the boys," Bruno, one of the girls, smirked and looked at Gabrielle who stood like a statue of liberty. Other girls looked at her and giggled. "I even heard their fake boyfriends hav

Chapter 14 Mike begs Brian to back off

Brian arrived at Beckwise stores later than Mike. Mike had been there for over an hour waiting for him. He was almost giving up when Brian walked in. Brian looked in different directions and saw Mike waving at him from a secluded corner. He walked towards him and sat on a chair. "What's up?" Mike asked stretching forth his hand for a handshake. Brian gave him a curt shake. "It's almost 6:PM, so you need to be snappy. Gabrielle is alone in the house." "Did she know you were coming to see me?" Mike asked. "Of course, you reminded me in her presence before leaving her house yesterday. She is aware." Brian responded. "She has told me everything and I decided I must see you. Her sister is my friend even though we did not go beyond friendship. I promise her that I will take care of Gabrielle. You are a man and I'm going to be honest with you. I love that girl and seeing you around her makes me uneasy. I want to politely ask you to stay away from her. I can protect her." "Sh

Chapter 15 Mike plans to take Gabrielle out of Bangkok

Plans to take Gabrielle out of Bangkok Brian felt a gentle tap on his back. He turned slowly and was surprised. Uka, one of the twins in room 4 was standing behind him smiling seductively. He looked around, searching for a free seat, however, all the seats were occupied. He stood up and gestured to her. Uka sat down and grinned. One of his friends who was sitting close to him created a space for him. Uka took the wrap of weed he was smoking from him. Brian rolled another weed. Placing the wrapped weed in the corner of his mouth, his long fingers then searched the pockets of his brown tweed jacket and finally emerged with a match. "Uka is Meche out of town?" Brian asked. Uka nodded with a grin. Meche, her boyfriend, had warned her to stay away from the group. He once fought the gang for giving her weed to smoke. "His mother invited him over. He is going to stay with her for a whole week," Uka said. Meche was the son of one of the University lecturers. People wondered why he k

Chapter 16 Brian advises Gabrielle

"His name is Ernest. He owns about five oil wells in and out of the country." "I don't believe you, do you know what oil wells are?" Brian asked. "He inherited them from his late father. He is the CEO of Nexoil. Do you remember the one-year strike that took place during the David Martin administration? All schools were shut down for a year?" Gabrielle asked. Brian nodded. "I took up a job as a salesgirl in one of the shops around our house. He came around with his bodyguards and declared surplus. I served them diligently and he picked interest in me. I turned him down because I was just sixteen and marriage was the last thing I was thinking of. He stood up and walked into his car without paying for the drinks. I followed him immediately. He wound down the glass and flung a paper. I hesitated because he was there. When his driver drove him away, I picked the paper up. It was his residential address. I folded the paper and tossed it in the trash. My boss came and insisted

Chapter 17 Mike plans worked

The nurse Jane and Mike were waiting for came later that day. Jane gave her the money. The nurse went back to the maternity home after giving Mike the second injection. "Thank you, Mike said. Jane smiled and nodded her head. "Honestly, Jane, I'm nothing without you. You are my world, my everything. Thank you for being there for me always," Mike said again. "I did it for us, Mike," Jane smirked. "If anything happens to you, I'm finished. My love for you is beyond explanation. I love you so much, Mike." "I love you too, honey," Mike said, clenching her left hand. "Please Jane, I need one more favor from you today, would you help me?" Mike asked. Jane nodded happily. "I have an assignment I wrote for one of my friends in hostel ten, would you help me deliver it to him. It will be submitted tomorrow morning, please," Mike pleaded. "Mike, I will deliver it before 6:am tomorrow. It's almost 8:30 and the second gate closes at 9." "Please, Jane, he paid for it already and would d

Chapter 18 Mike moves Gabrielle out of Bangkok

The next day, Mike woke up very early. He knew Jane would be there any moment so he dressed up and ran out. Bangkok lodge's gate was still locked when he got there, so he went to a nearby store and sat on one of the chairs. The owner of the shop fixed his gaze at him, probably wondering why he left his lodge so early. "Do you want to make a call?" The shopkeeper asked. Mike shook his head and looked away. The caretaker of the lodge came out of the gate holding a filter end of a cigarette by the corner of his lips. Obviously, his wife had refused to give a match to light the cigarette. He began to walk towards the shop. "Ojo, I need a box of matches," the caretaker said. The shopkeeper gave him a general lighter instead. "Hei, Mikeo, what are you doing here? I hope we are safe this morning?" the caretaker patted Mike on the shoulder. "I want to see you," Mike responded. Pa Uzo feigned him and focused on the cigarette he was trying to light. He ignited the lighter and held t

Chapter 19 Brian is in love

Jane, who had been searching everywhere for Mike, saw him coming towards Hall A, holding Gabrielle's hand. Fury began to choke her. She stared at them with burning reproachful eyes. Mike let go of Gabrielle's hand and walked towards her with smiles on his face. Jane turned and began to walk away angrily. Mike ran after her. He grabbed her hand, Jane tried to free her hand from his grip. "I searched everywhere for you. I went to the clinic, you were not there." "You went to the clinic? Did you see nurse Rose?" Mike asked. "She is on night shift," Jane said. "I met her before she handed over to those on the morning shift." "You went there?" Jane asked. "Yes, I woke up this morning and was feeling nauseous, I have to rush to the clinic to see her before she hands over. All the nurses I met must have gone before your arrival," Mike said. "How do you feel now?" Jane asked, lowering her gaze. "I'm fine, sweetheart, thanks to you," Mike grinned. "What are you doing with tha

Chapter 20 Mike and Gabrielle

The next day, Mike rushed down to Gabrielle's lodge to make sure Brian kept his promise. Jane was still sleeping when he sneaked out. He ascended the stairs hurriedly when he entered Anarchy Lodge. The students went to bed very late so they were still sleeping and everywhere was as silent as a graveyard. Gabrielle was awoken by the sound of her doorbell. She rolled on her bed, her friend who slept in her room was nowhere to be found. She sluggishly walked towards the door and opened it. Mike grinned and held her waist so tight as they walked inside the room. Mike quickly let go of her waist when he heard the sound of water splashing on her bathroom floor. He stared angrily at Gabrielle. "You...you...you...invited him right?" Mike stammered. There was a critical tone in his voice. "No, I did not," Gabrielle said weakly as she moved towards her bed. She was very tired. Mike was very annoyed but he did not want to show her how angry he was to avoid scaring her away. He clenche
