Poisonous Lips [Nigerian Vibe]

It was around 6am in the morning and the alarm was already screaming. I gave it a smack more than once just that it would stop, but it kept shouting and yelling, exercising it's impatient to get me out of bed. I reluctantly opened my eyes and stared at the ceiling for like a minute. Changed my position to the other side of the room and looked at Shade, she was still snoring and lost in the wonder world.

Shade has been my friend from childhood and till now, we are still friends, in fact she is a friend turned sister. Everybody knows her with me and I love her endlessly, or used to love her endlessly. We both applied for "Jamb" to study in the same University as it appeared we were not ready to be separated in any way. Fortunately, our plan worked and yes, we are both students of Obafemi Awolowo University and are both studying Micro Biology.

I hurriedly woke her up and reminded her we ought to be in the lecture room for MCB 107 and most importantly, we have to be there even before the lecturer. She rose to her feet and staggered to the bathroom as if she was intoxicated from an alcohol. In less than 45 minutes we were done and all prepared. We started trekking to class as we couldn't get any shuttle. While we were chattering and laughing and as we took a bend around Angola hall, I could hear some footsteps behind us but I didn't mind because it's a school environment and everyone would just be going to and fro minding their own business.

Suddenly, I saw his glimpse as he walked up to Shade, he appeared to be smiling at her.

Guys of nowadays, wooing every lady is now their hobby. Just as one walked up to me last week, he was so tattered and his hair was very unkempt, what's the difference between him and a mad person. The very first day he'd talk to me, he was already making promises, telling me he will buy me the whole world, said he will dethrone the Devil, so he can rule the world and have me as his queen. Rubbish! What does he have that he is making all those promises? Idiot! I bet he can barely afford to eat two square meal a day. Boys of a useless generation. Tah! - I said as I kept eyeing him from head to toe.

He appeared to be neater than all those who had approached me. I took another look and assessed him completely. His hair were all curl and dark with his gentle smile which rested beautifully on his face. His lips were all pink and tender and I felt the urge to want to eat that succulent lips over and over again. His height was manly and bold, It complimented his good physique and the smell which overshadowed  his body aromas like fragance is nearer to a rose.

"Why has he decided to go to my friend instead of me?" — a question that seemed to bother me popped in my thought.

I know Shade is my friend, but we all want good things for ourselves first. I have boobs and more backside than this riffraff who looks dry and all skinny. Is he blind? He should be talking to me! Me! Me! He is definitely a beauty blind, shio! - I thought as I continued to eavesdrop.

Just as we were about to get to ETF650 where we would be receiving the lecture, he walked backward with his back and promising to call later with all smile on his face.

"What does he want?" I asked anxiously.

"Ah ah, are we not walking together? You want to tell me you didn't hear all he said?" -she said jokingly.

"I was here, but, it's not making sense I put my ears in your discussion naw, I was thinking about more important things jare"

"Important? What's that?" She asked.

"Don't worry about it, and stop changing this discussion. What does he want?"- I asked again.

"Well... He wanted my number, and he wants us to get closer. He said he has been seeing me around for some days now, and he just like my appliance so, he thought perhaps he could get my number, so he can be in touch?"

"Be in touch? Tah! Okay Sha..." - I said displeasingly.

"What's be in touch, Tah, Okay Sha?" She asked wondering.

"Oh! Nothing, don't mind me" - I replied.

We walked inside the lecture theater while I kept looking at Shade horribly. I kept looking for where the beauty lies which attracted that very cute guy but I can't find it. I mean, she looked like a baboon craving for bananas even though it doesn't make up their diet.

"Hello beautiful, I am Dele. What's yours?" - a gentle voice penetrated through my ear drum as I turned around and saw a guy dressed so clean and his accent were so outstanding.
