As I watched king exist the Library , to say I was embarrassed was an understatement, I quickly dropped the book and made my way outside going after him " woah, you walk fast" I said panting as I tried to keep up with him , he turned and smirked
"Turns out your not just stupid , your slow as well" he said while stopping in his tracks .
I scoffed and folded my arms " I'm not stupid neither am I slow , you have really long legs , so sorry if my strides and your's are not the same" .
He rolled his eyes and continued walking and I followed, was I stupid for following him? Probably, did I want to go back? No way , so I just kept trotting behind him like a lost kid , we walked for awhile and after a few minutes I started getting tired ,
" Where are we going? " I asked ,
" Last I checked I never asked you to follow me" he said and made another turn , I groaned we have been taking turns alot ,
" Just tell me " I said
" You just have to wait and see"
"Are you going to kill me?!"
" That would be waste of skill" he said
I just glared at him and continued , we got to this part of my city where alot of touts were located , I got scared a bit , but I was relieved when king took a hold of my hands and pulled me along , smell of cigarettes and weed polluted the air , we walked for a bit before we got to an open field , I saw a few kids dancing, we joined the crowd to cheer for them , they were dancing to afrobeats , I always enjoyed dancing but I wasn't all that great at it .
King pulled me to the front of the crowd and a guy walked up to him , he looked to be the leader of the dance group , they did the guy handshake
"Guy howfar?" He said in the popular Nigerian broken English otherwise known as pidgin
" I dey my guy , wetin sup?" King replied
"Nothing , we just dey thank God, e get this competition wey dey come up , we wan join na wetin make us dey practice like this" he said
" You no come tell me na "
" I no wan bother you jare" he said and looked at me " who be the bae wey dey with you" he asked
" This is my friend, miracle , miracle this Femi, he's the leader of the boy dance crew" king said
" Howfar" I did a small wave while giving him a smile
" You fine die" he replied grinning at me
If I was some shades lighter , my face would have been the color of tomatoes because I felt my face heat up at that compliment . King rolled his eyes
" Femi back off , she's not going to be one of your play things , you have Folake and Amaka for that" he replied , Femi chucked and gave me a wink before going back to his crew .
They started another dance routine, just then ODG by pheelz the producer started playing and I couldn't help it when my body started moving with the song and before I knew it I was full on dancing , I did a leg walk , and a little happy feet and rounded it up with a full twerking by the Time I was done dancing the crowd was clapping and king's mouth was wide open .
I smirked , happy that I shocked him " close your mouth before flies get inside" I said to him
" Wow , you can dance" Femi said giving me a high five .
" I won't say I totally agree , but I try " I replied trying to taking in as much oxygen as I could , my lungs were finding it difficult to allow me breathe and I was trying not to create a scene because of my health .
" Here , have some water , it will help" I took the water from king , grateful he got the water , after taking large gulps, I had to seat for a while .
" Are you okay?!" King asked
" I'm good, I just stressed alot"
" Do you want to leave?"
" It's okay , we can stay , my breathing would soon return back to normal" I assured him , he looked at me with concern and then went off to Femi .
King stood with them and thought them a dance routine , I was amazed because , he was a very good dancer , after a while the crowd started to thin until it was just me sitting there .
" Ready to go ?" King asked
" Yea sure" I replied getting to my feet
" Come again miracle , we enjoyed your company" Femi said with a big smile
" Sure , if king brings me" I replied starring at king
" Take care Femi , you guys , don't forget what I said , flexibility is everything" he told them and took a hold of my hand , leading me out of the place .
" How old are you ?"
" I'm 23" he simply replied
" I'm 20" I said , he stopped in his tracks and gaped at me
" Your 20!? , You don't look like it"
"Haha, perks of being small " and having a terminal disease but he didn't have to hear that one .
" Come on , I will take you home " we walked in silence for a few minutes and we arrived at my neighbor hood turns out my street is not very far from where we were
" How come I didn't know that place existed ?" I asked
" You were probably raised inside , Omo get inside like you " he said
I scowled at him " that's not true"
" Hmm" he smirked " I'm sure you had to ask mummy for permission before you stepped outside"
I hit his chest in feign annoyance and walked off on my own with him laughing and trying to catch up .
We arrived at my compound and he stopped at my gate ,
" Would you love to come in ?" I asked
" No , thank you , I have somewhere to be" he said
" Alright"
" Yea" and then we stood in awkward silence
" I will go now "
" Will I see you again?"
" Sure , here's my phone number , text me whenever you want to go out" he said and put his number in my phone , he smiled at me and walked off .
To say I was happy would have been an understatement , I felt relaxed and over joyed because with him I formed a new friendship .
