Web of Deception [ EDITING !!!]

"Osas?" His voice sounded and I realized that I hadn't spoken.

"I did. I'm so-"

"Why did you. Or did you just find pleasure in discussing my private matters."

"It's not like that."

"Then it's like what ?!" He snapped. " What if Zina gets to hear about this. My relationship will crumble before we even get married."

Do you want to get married to her ? I thought to ask.

"Okay your just being rude now." I said as my temper stirred.

"I'm being rude?, Your the one that went out spilling things about me."

"Well I wouldn't have said anything if you and ego didn't go around and saying insulting things to Ola.". That was a half truth I just said.

"What are you talking about?"

"Ola told me about what you and your friend said to her and when she mentioned your name I told her i had met you before." I sipped the wine.

Silence again and this time it felt like an hour before he spoke. His voice was a lot calmer.

"I see... so how did I not being in love with Zina enter the discussion of you meeting me before."

He had me there. I didn't know what to say, so I opened my mouth for anything to come out. " Well your friend shouldn't have suspected me for hacking into Ola's computer."

"What are you saying for crying out loud"

Well I had managed to divert the topic. "Your friend said-"

"You didn't answer my question Osas" he cut me short.

Oh c'mon!!!. This guy should let it go abeg.

"It's late I shouldn't have called you." I cut the call.

Well that went bad. I sighed. My phone began to ring. I didn't have to look at the caller to know who it was. I sipped the wine. I was feeling a bit tipsy.

Asta barked at me as he wagged his tail.

"Oh now you want me to talk to him." I said to Asta. I chose to ignore the call but he still kept on calling. Where was he and where was Zina when I needed her.

I finally answered the call. " It's night Seyi. Good night." I cut the call but before I could drop the phone it rang again.

Okay this is just getting annoying. I sipped more wine. I'll just try and be nice and answer all his questions.

Asta barked at me. " Ahh, your daring me Asta. You think I can't act nice. just you wait and see."

I really don't know if I was seeing things but it looked like Asta rolled his eyes at me.

I picked the call." I just want to know why Osas." Seyi said not giving me a chance to speak.

My eyes on Asta. This is my chance to prove to Asta that I can be nice.  I took in a deep breath and sighed. " Where is your fiancee anyway. It's not really appropriate for an engaged man to be calling a lady in the middle of the night or is this something you do on a regs." I blurted out before I could stop myself. It had to be the wine. I thought sadly and I dropped the bottle on the floor and just like earlier, Asta did something that made me to think I wasn't really seeing things.

The dog had a triumphant smile on his hairy face. The dog was smiling at me. Was Asta mocking me !!

"I'm sorry. I'm just not myself this night."

No reply but I could hear sound of life from the other end of the phone.

"I really don't know how it came up but it just did. I'm really sorry for talking about your private life and you have all right to be mad at me." I said flashing an evil grin at Asta.

Told you I could be nice. I mouthed to Asta who stood from his couch and strolled away, his tail swinging...

He did look like the cat in Cinderella as he walked away..

Egoistic Animals. I thought.

"Did you just call me an Egoistic animal?" Seyi finally said.

My mouth was wide ajar. Did I say that out loud.

"Oh.. no. I was uhm.. talking to my dog."

"You were talking to a dog?" His voice hinted unbelief and mockery making me groan inwardly

I was making a fool of myself.

Asta then chose the best time to waltz in. His dog tray in his mouth as he flashed his cute eyes.

I stood and picked the tray from his mouth and placed it on the book shelf out of his reach.

Oh no no Asta!! You will starve this night. 😈😌
