So Angela, it’s getting quite late. I want to
go lock the gate, do you want me to drop
you off at home or do you plan on staying
over?” Tekena asked his friend Angie who
had her head buried in textbooks; he had
been putting her through a tough math
course.
She was really bad with maths but
really tried her best to understand it.
“ I don’t feel like going home today, this
quiz is in two days time, would really
appreciate it if we could go through these
questions some more till I get it into this
thick skull of mine”
“Okay then, I’ll go lock the gate now, when
I’m back we’ll go through it some more.
Would you like me to get you anything on
my way back?”
She smiled “ Tikki, your mom just forced
me to finish my plate of food, I don’t have
space for anything else.”
“ Not even a drink? A coke, juice, even
Water?”
She rolled her eyes “If you want to get me
something, get me alcohol for the both of
us so maybe we could get nasty tonight.”
Tekena burst into laughter at her reply as
he shook his head. “You’re crazy, Angela”
She smiled back “I know, now go so that I
can get on with these questions.”
“ Yes, your highness.” He replied as he
shut the door behind him. Angela was a
crazy girl, not like your normal everyday
girl and that was probably why he liked
her so much.
It was sort of his duty to confirm from the
security guard that the gate had been
locked for the night. He could have called
but the walk in the cool night air would do
him good. He had been holed up for a
while with Angie and some fresh air would
be good.
He was sure everyone was home including
Deifa who usually came back really late.
He’d noticed since she’d been having
problems with her boyfriend she’d been
coming in earlier than usual so Osas was
probably the one who kept her out late.
Thinking about Deifa, he recalled his
encounter with her and her friend that
afternoon.

He and his male friends had
purposely thrown the ball into the pool to
splash water on them but they’d been so
involved in whatever they’d been saying
to notice.
Deifa had been tormenting all the boys
with her perfect body clad in just a bikini
top and bottom, barely covered in a short
transparent gown. The guys playing hadn’t
been able to concentrate enough to play,
so they’d decided to grab her attention
instead and see what would happen.
Tikki had gained from the prank, he’d
finally met Deifa’s right hand girl and
closest friend, Lisa.
She seemed really okay and didn’t show any sign of resentment toward him unlike her friend.
He hoped they could become good friends,
that might probably open a door towards
being friends with his step sis.
“Tekena.”
He turned to see his mom coming out from
the kitchen, what was she doing in there?
She never cooked, that was done by the
cook they had in the house.
“Yup mom?” he answered
“Where are you off to? Has your friend
left?”
“Nope, she’s upstairs.
I just want to confirm that the gate has been locked. What were you doing in the kitchen?”
His mom frowned “What do you mean?
Can I not go into my own kitchen again?”
“No, it’s not that, just that you don’t cook
or clean so what are you doing there?”
“I was giving the cook and maids orders
for tomorrow.”
she replied before asking, “Angela is your girlfriend, isn’t she? I was
asking Tonye but she said she wasn’t sure,
that you’ve always denied her being your
girlfriend.”
“No mom, she’s not my girlfriend, if she
were, I would let you know.” Tekena told
his mom wondering what this was about.
She raised an eyebrow “she’s not your
girlfriend and she sleeps over almost all
the time.”
“She’s a friend that I help to study, and
when we are studying she prefers sleeping
over, that doesn’t mean anything… We are
not that way.”
“What way?” she asked with a knowing
look and Tekena doubted she believed
him.
“In a girlfriend boyfriend way. Mom I’m
serious, if she were my girlfriend you
would know.”
His mom nodded but he saw the mocking
way she looked at him, she didn’t…
