Love Me Now (Full Story)

Chapter Fourteen

The ringing of a phone woke Patrick from his slumber. Soft groans erupts from his lips as he sat up on the bed. He was hunched over while he rubbed the sleep from his eyes, he looked around his room that was slightly dark because the curtains were down, just a little ray of light was able to escape into his room.

The ringing stopped and he yawned, he sat staring at the wall opposite him, while trying to let himself wake up. He was going to go back to bed when his phone rang again and this time, it woke him well.

Wondering who would be calling this early, he picked up the phone and checked the caller to see that it was a foreign number. He frowned because no one knew the line this number is calling in and it has to be a mutual friend or except it was a spam.

Not wanting to deal with any spam calls, he put his phone back on the table beside his bed then stood to his feet to stretch. He walked to his bathroom to wash his face when his phone rang again.

It was the same number when he checked, so he just picked it to know who it was, if he didn't recognize the number then he'll just disconnect the line and block it.

"So you don't want to pick my calls abi?" the annoying voice of Yemi his best friend/neighbor.

"You this man, you're not okay oo, you know that I don't pick strange numbers"

"Ehn, shey your head no fit tell you say na your guy dey call?" Yemi hissed.

"It's been a few years and you still haven't changed, nawa for you oo"

Yemi laughed "Shey I fit change ni?"

Patrick shook his head and let out a sigh "Na only GOD fit help you like this"

Yemi laughed then paused for a while. "How's mumci? Is she getting better than before?"

Patrick let out another sigh then rubbed his eyes and sat on his bed.

"We... we are hoping that she'll improve because" he let out another tired sigh "We just hope she is good"

"Omo guy, I don't know what to say to you now... I'm sorry that you and Debbie have to go through this. I know you all are just trying, even after your dad's death, you guys were pushing through strong" Yemi commends.

"I want you guys to keep up with that spirit and always have it in mind that your personal person dey here always"

"You weren't there to rescue me when Angela wanted my head on a platter of gold" Patrick accused jokingly.

"Ehn ehn, that one na your problem, no be me go toast that mad girl"

"You no well aswear" Patrick burst out laughing "Na confirm clown you be,"

"Abegi, just take things easy, things go settle soon, just calm down"

"Thank you man, na you still dey make me sane"

"You can thank me with breakfast this morning, I'm bored and I need company"

"Mtcheew, to think that you called because you missed me" Patrick hissed.

"Shey you're taking me or what?"

"Are you home? I'll be ready in twenty minutes"

"When you're not wearing a dress anyhow sha, I'll wait and also send my deep, deep, free and loving greetings to Deborah, tell her I'll see her later"

He didn't have the time to answer when Yemi disconnected the call, he hissed again and placed his phone on the bedside table. He wasn't worried about the crush Yemi has on his little sister, Yemi know not to do such except he needs a wake up beating
