TALES OF THE SIDE CHIC LIFE-4

The drive back was a very quiet one; I didn’t want Elo to know I heard his friend ask of Lade and his kids. I just told him I was having a headache so he didn’t bother engaging me in any side talk he just drove me back to my store.

I didn’t call Elo at all for the rest of the day. Different thoughts kept running through my head, so this guy is married ehn and he is here fronting like an eligible bachelor. Chai! See my life outside, me wey think say I don see husband. As my thoughts were flying about in my head, I lost track of time. By the time I glanced at the wall clock it was quarter to 8.

I usually leave the store by 6pm but today I was just in a very unclear mood. I picked my bag and stepped out of my office, just then my phone rang. It was Elo, I knew without even bringing out my phone.

What does he want now? I decided not to answer the call but then again I really wanted to. I mean, I thought we had something good going on; I was beginning to love this man and then this!
I entered my car and as I started the engine, my phone started ringing again. It was still Elo, I couldn’t help it this time. I answered the call.

‘Hi honey, I have been trying to reach you.’ He said in that very soft and husky voice that melts my heart.

‘I was in the middle of something then’ I lied not wanting him to suspect anything strange.

‘Oh ok, I get. What are you doing tomorrow? There’s this beach party my colleagues are organizing would you go with me?’

See this one oh…beach party ko, Beach party ni. I thought to myself

‘Honey are you there? He asked when he didn’t get a response for some seconds. Oh Lord! That voice though. I shake my thoughts off and regain my will to speak to him
‘Yeah I’m with you…of course I’ll go with you’ I said still trying not to sound upset.
‘Ok then I’ll pick you up at 2PM tomorrow’ he said happily.
‘Love you’, he said.
Hah yinmu, love indeed!
‘Same here’, I mumbled

He says the same stuff to his wife, how could he lie about being single when he has a wife and kids?
I shake off the thoughts flooding my mind, I’ll play the FOOL. I decided to play along.

The next morning I put on white shorts and a floral crop top I just made for myself. I took out my beach hat and I was putting on my flat sandals when I got a text from Elo. He pleaded that I come over to his place instead and we would leave from there. Oh crap! I had no plans of driving today. I walk out of my room and head to my car. I pulled over in front of his house and there he was flashing me his impeccably white set of teeth.

Abeg stop shining teeth jare, I hissed under my breath at the same time smiling back at him.

‘Hello Gorgeous, ready for a fun day?’ He asked. ‘Yeah’ I answered. Not sure of what to say.
We got to the beach at about 12 minutes past 3, he went to greet his friends but I decided to wait for him under one of the huts. Not in the mood for any introductions.
He left his phones with me, they were both unlocked. This is my chance, my detective duties start NOW!!!
