Thank you 🥺
I send the address and he texts back:
Deji
You'll get it in no time. Let's pray the delivery man doesn't run away with the food
I laugh.
Me
I'll hold you responsible
Deji
Ah, no o 😂😂
Also, are you gonna be at the engagement party tomorrow?
Me
Idia is my best friend, I wouldn't miss it for the world
Deji
Wanna be my date?
Me
Sure
Deji
Okayyyy. Blink twice if you need help
Me
Why?? 💀
Deji
Thought you were gonna say no
Me
I'm not that mean
Deji
Well, you agree you're mean
We finally agree on something 😏😏
Me
Ugh... byeee 💁🏼♀️😂
I exit Instagram and proceed to focus on other things — sketching a new design, replying to the emails of brands who want to collaborate, and influencers I am looking to work with — before I get carried away and text him all day.
I always get off early on Saturday, so, I need to finish the work on my table by 3:00 pm, then I'll be out of here, and maybe stop by Tare's salon, somewhere around Transcorp, to get a manicure and a new set of nails to ease my mental stress.
275... my brain retracts. For fuck's sake! I bind and cast you Zayyad! Unoccupy my head! God forbid! God forbid!! God forbid!!
About twenty minutes later, as I sketch a new design on my iPad, there's a knock on my door. "Come in."
It's Shalewa, she is all smiles, holding a nylon bag with the inscription 'The Buka' written on it, close to her chest. "Look who got a delivery!" She sings.
I return the smile. "Thank you for bringing it,"
She gently places the nylon on my desk. "This smells so good, ahan!" She takes a long sniff before satisfyingly exhaling.
I open the bag and begin to remove the sealed plastic packs from it. Wow. Just wow. One pack contains four wraps of amala and the other, ewedu with a lot of assorted protein floating in it.
"This is a lot. Shalewa, go and wash your hands, I'll have to share"
"Ope o!" She jubilates.
I laugh. "Long throat,"
"Abeg jare." She heads to the washroom in my office whilst I pick up my phone to text Deji.
Me
This is a lot! But thank you 💕
He replies almost immediately.
Deji
Hope you'll feel better now x
If you don't, you know what to do 😏
Me
No tf I don't
Deji
FaceTime me so you can see my handsome face 🙃
Or I'll come over so I can kiss your unhappiness away
