It doesn’t matter. You won’t see him again.
Okafu forcefully pushed the answer button on her phone, feeling foolish and angry at herself. She always did this. Making connections where there were none.
“Hello.”
“Really? What happened to you?” Lina’s voice blasted through the phone. Okafu cringed as Lina’s anger reached her through the phone. Her words were sharp and hateful. Okafu clenched her jaw bearing the brunt of her anger.
“You took too long, and it was raining,” Okafu said trying to defend herself.
“And? You’re my friend, you’re supposed to wait for me,” Lina whined, she sighed loudly sounding like a spoilt child. Okafu shook her head not sure why she was friends with her. “Anyway, guess what?”
“What?” Okafu asked even though she already knew the answer; Lecturer agreed to change her mark.
“I passed!” she squealed into the phone. “I mean I had to give him something for the mark, but it was all worth it.”
“Eew! You didn’t.” Okafu scrunched her face in disgust.
“Don’t pull your disgusted virgin lip, miss I ace all my tests and assignments, a girl has got to do what she can to pass. Plus it didn’t hurt that he’s a handsome one. And his c**k was huge and thick, I practically begged him to…” Okafu primly squeaked into phone, Lina laughed at her. “Oh, you are such a starched old maid! What am I going to do with you?”
“Nothing, I don’t like the…you know,” Okafu felt her face turn red.
“You can say it…cock!” Lina shouted into the phone, “c**k, c**k, c**k. The bigger the better.”
“Stop that or I’ll hang up!” Okafu groaned feeling embarrassed. She didn’t like it when Lina started with her explicit conversations. Not that she didn’t like the idea of s*x, she was just…Okafu bit her lip…her doctor called it latent trauma or something like that that made her shy away from anything that was s****l or hinted at it.
She wasn’t a virgin. She knew that. After she escaped her kidnappers, she was taken to the hospital to be tested.
She just…Okafu closed her eyes and squeezed her legs tight.
She just couldn’t remember having s*x…and she didn’t want to think of how she lost her virginity. The thought of…
Okafu took a deep breath. ‘No looking back,’ she murmured to herself.
“Okay, prissy missy,” Lina’s voice came through the phone.
Okafu giggled, somewhat glad for her crazy friend. “You need to stop calling me that.”
“If you go out with me tonight to celebrate I’ll stop.”
“What are you celebrating now?” Okafu rolled her eyes. Lina was always celebrating. nothing was too big or small to celebrate.
“It’s not every day I pass an assignment and get dicked out like that, honey. I need to celebrate. So are you coming. It’s going to be low key, I promise.”
Low key, Okafu doubted it, it was not Lina’s usual style. But she was feeling off tonight after meeting and riding in Ren Amatapa’s car. There was no way she was going to go back to her normal routine and not spend the whole night staring at the ceiling because her mind wouldn’t shutdown.
But going out with Lina? Was she sure she wanted to do that? Lina was a bit…
“Okay,” Okafu said without thinking too deep about going out.
“Sure that’s a first. I didn’t even have to beg. This is going to be epic,” Lina hollered. “Don’t forget to look cute.”
“Look cute, got it.” Okafu ended the call and jumped off the bed. She stopped in her tracks ready to rummage in her closet for anything that resembled cute.
Shit!
She didn’t own anything of that kind. Okafu turned to her phone. She was going to have to cancel. She couldn’t go out in her usual clothes.
Her phone started to ring.
Okafu picked it up. And groaned when she saw Lina’s name displayed on the screen. It was like she had a sixth sense.
“Lina…” Okafu began.
“I knew it. I’m coming over.” She declared, “and I’m bringing some things, I doubt if you have anything to wear. Bye.”
