Must Read: Home Advantage (18+)

My phone beeped. Picking it up, it was a text from Princess. ‘’I wish I could explain how it happened, but I can’t. I have fallen for you and please don’t make me regret it. 1 4 3.’’

I tried calling her number back but it was switched off. Who does that? Now, I have more reasons to finally red card the calabar fling.
Yes, fling. That was what she was to me.
I clocked out of work the following day. I was on my way home when my phone rang. It was Jide. I was a continual visitor at Jide’ hose until last two month. I used to be the champion at the PS 2 game until some guy, who Jide introduced as Santos, his secondary school friend, came and changed my status. He beat me not only once, not twice, but three embarrassing times.

I was sure Jide must have missed the ever bragging former champion, hence why he was calling.

Jide: my padi

Me: how na Jide?

Jide: very well, bro. I haven’t seen you since that your remarkable defeat.

Me: I no dey pass dat your side these days

Jide: Galacious, u still be champion na. Just that, ‘former’ has to come before the title.

Me: you no well. How Santos an?

Jide: He travelled back to Onitsha. So, when u
go show? Na only me dey around, the rest sef no dey.

Me: coincidentally, I was just about to get to
your street.

Another point worth of note is that Jide’s house, beside the game we were playing there, it was most time available for ‘’royal rumble’’ matches. His parents were barely around. His elder brother was the obstacle, but since he always return from work around 8 pm, we could handle that.

I called Princess later that evening and we spoke awhile. During the conversation she said, ‘’I want to see you’’. I suggested we hook up at the Jide’s. She agreed.
