"Awwn, the goat is complaining. " She laughed.

And I joined her but my thoughts went to Jemima. She always called me her goat.

"I didn't know I looked like a goat." I said playfully.

"Really?. Put a goat beside you and I won't know the difference." And I laughed.

"Where are you that your fiancee has not come to kil you yet ?" She said.

"I'm in another room. We got into a fight." I said softly. I didn't want to talk about Zina this night.

"Oh.." was all she said and I was great ful that she didn't inquire more.

"Who is Ola to you ?" I finally asked the question that had been on my mind since she mentioned her name.

"Ola? She's my sister."

They didn't look alike not one bit.

"Ola said she had a boyfriend." I said slowly.

"Yeah she does. Why are you asking all this?"

"It's actually weird but at the airport I saw you with a man who I thought was your boyfriend and few nights ago I saw the same man with Ola and she said he is her boyfriend." I concluded.

She chuckled. " Your really a big goat. Rasaq is only for Ola and I have a boyfriend."

She did have a boyfriend.

"You have a boyfriend." I mused.

"Yeah you have met him before."

I have?. "Who is he ?"

"Micheal." I could hear noise in her back ground.

Michael was her boyfriend. Well that made perfect sense. Their actually good for each other. Micheal was more built and I hate to admit more charming. It was better than her being cheated on but despite all these thoughts and still found myself displeased about it.

"Have you slept off?" Her voice brought me out of reverie.

"Oh no. Wide awake. I was just suprised."

"You thought I couldn't have a boyfriend as hot as that." I could hear the teasing her voice.

"Nope. I was really surprised at all this while I knew your boyfriend and yet I was thinking of another man as yours."

"It won't be bad having two men as my boyfriend." She joked.

"your planning of stealing your sister's boyfriend?"

"I was not referring to Rasaq." She said softly.

Who was she then referring too.  Possibly can't be me.

"You said you have something important to talk to me about." I said.

She groaned." Your a fun kill." She laughed. She sounded drunk.

"Are you drinking?" I asked.

"Was. Asta just kept on giving me this parental stare that made me to drop the third bottle."

Third bottle!!

"Why were you drinking?"

"Couldn't sleep. The drugs didn't help." The dog barked and I heard Osas growl. Was she growling at the dog ??. How drunk was she.

"Are you in your room ?" I asked as I wondered how she managed to get three bottles.

"Nope. Living room." I heard her rise.

"Where you off to ?"

"Asta." Was all she said.

"Asta?"

" I kept Asta food tray away from him cause I wanted him to starve. His such a naughty dog and now I have to feed him cause his giving me a splitting headache any time he -"

Thud!

I heard a sharp cry of pain " are you okay?"

"Yeah. I just fell down. Asta is smiling at me. Maybe i should not feed him."

Even in this state, she still made me to smile. " Do you have anyone with you at home ?"

"I have Asta."

"I mean humans."

"Ohh.. I have Kunle His my gate man. Maybe I should tell him to feed Asta and escort me to my bed cause I don't think I can walk the stairs in this state."

The thought of a man putting Osas to bed didn't sit well with me.

"How about you manage to feed Asta and sleep on the couch or I can come there." I didn't realize what I had said.

"Seyi don't be a naughty boy. You can't come all the way here to see me by this time of the night."

I felt my cheeks warm.

"I can ask Kunle but I don't think Micheal will be pleased about it. Maybe I should call Michael."

It won't be only Michael that would be pleased about it. I mused.

"I think he would be asleep by this time."

"Why aren't you asleep yet Seyi."

I sighed as my raked my fingers through my hair. "Osas, can you manage to feed Asta ?"

I heard a loud shout from the other end.
"Osas ! Are you okay?" I could feel my pulse quicken. Had something happened to her.

"Asta is eating. I managed to get both the plate and his food. Maybe I'll sleep on the couch, after all I have my duvet here."

"Okay that sounds good." I said.

"Tell me a story Seyi." She was sounding like a child.

"Are you settled on the couch?"

"Yes Sir." And she giggled.

"Okay. What story should I tell you ?"

"Tell me about your girlfriend ! Jemima."

I was silent for a minute." Why Jemima ?"

"Cause she was you girlfriend Idiot. How did you guys meet. I hope you were charming to her... Although your a goat, I wonder what she saw in you anyway."

I smiled. " Jem's and I were best friends. We weren't dating. She-"

"Boring!!." She cut me short.

"Fine, I and Jem's were dating infact we were madly in love with each other. First we were best friends but when I saw her really sick I realized that I was in love with her-"

"I'm jealous." She sounded like a whining child. " I've never been madly in love with anyone."

"What about Micheal ?" I asked softly.

"His boring. He didn't listen to anything I was saying when we went for a date today."

Was that the important thing that Micheal had gone to do. But it didn't add up, Osas was in her restaurant probably by that time.

"I wish you could be madly in love with me."  Her soft voice sounded and before I could react I heard her soft snore.

She had finally fallen asleep. I cut the call and stared at the ceiling.

I wish you could be madly in love with me. Her voice played in my head and I could not deny that it pleased me to hear it. 

I couldn't deny that hearing it made my insides stir.

I couldn't deny that hearing it made my pulse quicken and my heart rate increase.
