Today really seems to be a nice day for some sweet outings, then swimming, with this hot weather I need to gather a few things in this house before I leave because it will still remain scattered and tattered when I get back. A bright, sunny, hot afternoon I had already mapped out things to do and places to go, only for the weather to get dull and gloomy all of a sudden, the next thing is really going to be a heavy downpour. That sudden change was the last thing I had in mind to worry about, forgetting totally that it was the ninth month of the year, September, when rain falls like there will not be a next day. All my plans are ruined. It gives me this feeling to cry myself to sleep, but there is a brighter side of it, I have the whole afternoon to arrange the house.
I am Sandra Williams, a graduate of Theatre Arts from the University of Benin, Nigeria. I am the last child of my parents and the only one in the family still in Nigeria. My parents, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Williams, my elder brothers and my elder sister are all outside the country managing different jobs of their own over there.
My boyfriend, Daniel, is the only companion I have. He comes over to my apartment almost everyday and spends almost every weekend with me.
I used to have close friends but not anymore. The last one I had, I trusted her like a sister not knowing she had dirty intentions to have my man, and when I found out, I had no choice than to let go of her. I just can't imagine sharing my man with any other lady, let alone my own friend. Just imagine if they intend to get married and they invite me to the wedding ceremony, or she asks me to be her chief bride's maid as her closest friend. Oh!! How very embarrassing.
That experience with Judy made me not to keep any other close friends, yes, I have friends but none is close to me anymore. It has not been so easy not having any family and real friends around most times, especially when Daniel can not come over. The loneliness is just something I can't talk about. The boredom is definitely another problem on its own. When the electricity is down and I get fed up of operating my phone, playing games and doing other things with the phone.
As I was still cleaning up the house, my phone rang. Yes it was my Danny calling, just as I expected.
"Hey babe" he said over the phone.
"Good afternoon my love," I said.
"Please get me some hot water ready to bath with, then something really as sweet as you to eat, because I am starving under this rain. The traffic is a bit jammed. I'm spending the weekend at your place." He ended the call.
Me hearing him say this made me feel more energetic to clean the house faster than I ought to, just so I can prepare him something to eat when he gets here. But, could he just not wait for the rain to stop before he can come home? Or is he really missing me that much.
Uuhhmmm!! Matters arising in my head right about now, I don't know what he would like to eat, he wasn't specific and I didn't ask him. Anyways, I had to cook soup so he will eat something heavy as he's been on junk for some time now due to he's been leaving very early to work and coming home late, no time to cook.
Food wasn't yet ready when I heard a knock on my door. I was only relieved that I had cleaned up the entire house and arranged it. He came in, we had a little catch-up kiss and he rushed to have his hot bath before he freezes up and before his food gets ready.
