Time checked was 6:27pm when Ella got home. She had no intention of staying that long since they were yet to resume lectures but the conversation with Joy kept her glued to her sit. She found out Joy was a call girl and wondered how a girl like her would still be a call girl despite the fact that she came from a rich family.
 
As she dropped her bag on the couch in the sitting room and walked to the kitchen, she couldn’t help but smile as she remembered how Joy condemned and tagged men useless but yet still enjoyed sleeping with them.
 
“Howfar?” Ella playfully slapped Manny’s ass when she met him at the kitchen sink, washing dishes. He wore just his p-nt and white singlet and his d*ck shape was visible.
 
“Madam,” he said, picking up another plate to wash while she moved towards the fridge to get a glass of water. “Because you’ve been offered admission doesn’t mean I’ve become a new dish washer o. Come back early next time and do your work.”
 
Ella swallowed the water in her mouth hærd, “What’s that supposed to mean?” she squeezed her face and put back the glass in,side the refrigerator before moving to stand beside him. “Won’t you help your wife with chores when you get married?”
 
“You’re not my wife, biko besides you know how much I dislike washing plates.”
 
Ella chuckled. “I know. People like you only love eating and it amazes me that the food only works down there,” She glanced at his d*ck and pushed him aside so she could wash her hands in the sink
 
Manny glanced at his d*ck as well and pushed her away too. “That’s why you’re not sensible enough to wash your hands before drinking water after a long day.”
 
They both laughed while Ella walked to the table with a spoon and opened her food. Taking a spoonful, she said, “That reminds me. Do you know guys are so useless? A guy paid for my passport today and asked for my number in return. I kukuma turned him down, I don’t like what I hate,” She scooped another spoon of rice and chewed on the one in her mouth before putting the second.
 
“Now that you’ve seen someone that’s trying to show you love, be forming nonsense. When your beauty fade, you’ll realize.”
 
“Ah!” She frowned. “I thought you’ll support my action,” She hissed and carried her plate of food, then walked towards the door. “Why did I tell you sef?”
 
Manny laughed and called her name sweetly, then she turned, hoping to hear something better but when he told her to keep one piece of meat for him, she hissed again loudly and walked out, shaking her butt…

Dave got home few minutes past 7pm. His thoughts never left the girl who turned Nath down earlier. He couldn’t wait to pack his stuff to school so he could be seeing more of her in the evenings after lectures.
 
Mr. Chris Ofunne, his dad, was on the couch with his head placed on the lap of his wife who was car-ssing his chest slowly when he entered. He loved seeing them that way and most times wondered if they ever had issues cos he’d never heard them exchange words.
 
“Old school lovers, well done,” he greeted, perking their foreheads in turn.
 
“New school quiet unrom-ntic…”
 
“Dad!” Dave cut in. “Take it easy.”
 
His parents laughed while mom told him his food was on the dining table. He sat for a while on the couch, then proceeded to telling them about Nath’s encounter which got them rolling with laughter.
 
“I don’t blame the girl,” Chief said amidst laughter. “That’s the same way your mother stressed me up and down. Every time, wait behind the tree till I signal you to come…”
 
“And he always waited, “ Mom Chirped in. “And would say, baby, I’m scared. What if your dad comes out?” This got them laughing again.
 
“But I think I like the girl sha,” Dave announced when the laughter died down and stood up immediately, then made to walk out before being bombarded with questions.
 
“Before you run out, Mr. Liker, get me the full name of your Vice Chancellor and his registrar. Then a small detail about the geographic nature of your school. I’ll need it for serious business.”
 
Dave rushed his reply of “okay” and began climbing the stairs to his room. He wondered what his dad wanted doing with what he requested for but all the same, he let it slide and let his thoughts wander back to the girl he admired earlier…

The next day, everything went smoothly for Ella’s family. Since they were yet to resume lectures, Ella decided to go to school with her phone, then dress simple in just a jean trouser and polo
 
“Ella?” Mom called immediately she stepped foot on the verandah. Disapproval could be detected in the tone of her voice and if looks could kill, Ella would probably have been dead as she stood quietly on the verandah, waiting to hear what mom would say.
 
“How many times have I warned to stop wearing trousers so you’ll stop attracting small boys to yourself?”
 
“But mom… “ Manny began
 
“Will you shut,” Mom fired, throwing him a deadly stare as well. Facing Ella again, she shouted, “Before I close my eyes and open, go and get rid of that trash, then reappear decent. See my mother, I did not kill her so you people will not kill me. “
 
Ella made to stand her ground by not moving but quickly dashed back into the house when mom bent and removed the heavy buckle slippers she wore…

Activities in Upland University had resumed as well. It was just few minutes to 8am and the weather that morning was chilly. Joy who had offloaded her leftover belongings in front of the lodge was just about paying the cab man when she sighted Nath walking towards the left wing of the compound.
 
Quickly, she dismissed the cab man and rushed to meet him.
 
“Hey!” She smiled when she got close.
 
Nath turned, “Hey! You look familiar?”
 
“Yes,” Joy threw her head backwards in a way that the weavon she had on swung in motion. “We met yesterday. Remember, the passport?”
 
“Oh!” Nath frowned. “Your friend…”
 
Joy interrupted quickly and handed her phone to him. “We could meet you later to apologize properly.”
 
He felt happy within as he collected the phone and typed his number. Just then, a girl came up to him and k-ssed him lightly on the l-ips which he reciprocated. Though Joy was surprised, she acted calm and got back her phone. She liked his friend that had glasses on and if she could match make him with Ella, then she would have no one fighting over a man with her. It didn’t matter to her if the guy before her was in a relationsh¡p or not. Even though she was a new student, she was fully exposed and knew how to get her way around anything.
 
“Alright, see you later,” She waved and left hurriedly to where she’d left her belongings.
 
“Who’s she?” Esther inquired as Nath wrapped his arm round her slender wa-ist, leading her towards her lodge.
 
“No one of importance,” he replied and held her tight. “C’mon, I had to come this early. I’ve missed you so much.”
 
Though Esther doubted his sincerity, she kept quiet and let it slid. They had been away for holiday close to one month and the least she needed at that moment was someone spoiling her mood…

Dave, with the help of his mom, had carried all his belongings outside. He looked smart in his jean trouser and t-Shirt with sneakers and couldn’t wait to return to the lodge he shared with Nath. He hung his laptop school bag in a way that made him look like a hunter with a backpack and was just closing the door of his room when he heard his father’s voice.
 
“Yes! He gave it to me this morning. Our operation will be successful and everything will fall in place soon.”
 
He locked his door slowly and waited to see where his dad would come out from.
 
Mr. Chris Ofunne, not knowing his son stood in the passage, came out of the toilet at the far end, arranging himself. He jerked with fright when he heard Dave call him. He however quickly comported himself and walked towards him with a cover up smile.
 
“You now hide to make calls?” Dave asked, looking at him suspiciously.
 
“How can you say that? Of cos not. I hide nothing and you know it.”
 
“Sure?”
 
“Are you doubting your father?”
 
“No!” Dave shrugged and started walking. “Please take me to school, I have a lot of catching up to do.”
 
Mr. Chris knew his son to be very quiet but observative. He needed to be extra careful so as not to spill the bean…

Meanwhile, at a des**ted area, underground, Chief’s accomplice were busy sorting out weapons. Dagger, an hefty muscular guy raised a deadly looking double edged sword, ran his tongue on it and smiled.
 
“The downfall of this great institution will cause trauma in this country,” he said.
 
“What’s our target number?” Cobra, another guy who was wiping off dust from the guns, asked
 
“No target number. The bomb will be placed at a very strategic point where no soul will be able to escape once it explodes.”
 
“Wow, nice plan. I can’t wait to flee this goddamn forsaken country once this deal is done,” Lekan, the smallest but very strong in the group, added.
 
Dagger dropped the doubled edged sword, then filled a glass with liquor. Sipping from it slowly, he walked towards a wooden shelf and stared at it. “Soon, I shall have my revenge.”
 
The pain in his heart paved way for the evil smile that played on his face. Remembering the incident that took place years ago in Upland University which left him distorted, he became angry and downed his glass before smashing it on the wooden shelf…
