What the…! Who am I saying in my house… Just like that?’ I heard Zoe’s voice as she descended the stairs.

What an actress!… Naughty girl!
Sam smiled broadly and stood up. Then, he looked aghast suddenly.

‘The clips!’ he exclaimed and I looked up at the drama.

‘Yep! As if I knew you were going to be around. I kept the clips’ Zoe responded like a little ballet dancer.

Sam looked astounded with a ‘I dont understand what you are saying’ look on his face.

This girl is a bebeto!

Even if he gave her clips as souvenirs saying till we meet again, should she have brought them all out like that?…. Ugh!…. Really bad actress!

‘Zoe, you look bigger now but you look more matured and beautiful’ he said as he sat down.

I blushed as if I was the one being complimented.

‘And you are as cold as ever’ my baby responded and I felt like spanking her.

Who talks that way!… This girl needs grooming.
Sam laughed so well that I wondered why

‘You have always loved the cold Sam, shae?’
Zoe’s face changed a bit.

‘For your mind’ She responded.

Sam laughed again

‘So, why the clips?’ he asked and obviously infuriated and disappointed, Zoe started to remove the clips.

Sam looked at me and smiled.

‘I am sorry that you are seeing this ma’am.
Zoe is still a baby… I just came around to ensure that she was fine. I would live to be on my way’
Just like that?

Nawa o
I could feel the jab at Zoe’s heart as Sam walked to the door.

‘Say me well to Blossom o. Tell her my geke woyld be as high as a mountain when I attend her wedding next month.’ I said, trying to liven the whole atmosphere.

‘I will ma. Her egusi has made me to take marriage prayers seriously too o. Her husband go enjoy am wella’ he said and I looked back at Zoe who wore a very fake smile.

‘Alright bye ma’ he said

‘Bye my dear’ I replied as I closed the door.

As I turned to go away, there was a knock at the doir and I opened it.
It was Sam again!
He beamed a smile.
…. And entered.

He went to sit before Zoe and chuckled.

‘Were you going to miss me that bad that you are crying? ‘ he asked and Zoe tried to clean her face. She chuckled loudly

‘ You sure are a proud boy! Cry?… For you?… Gosh!… I lived years without you bro. Please, wake up!’ she said so courageously that I looked perturbed.

Ladies sha!

Sam clapped loudly with smiles in his face.
‘So, whats with the tears on your face now?’ he asked.

Well, thats none of your own business!’ she replied sharoly obviously caught!

Sam smiled.

‘Sweet Zoe, I kbow you too well and its cute that you haven’t changed much. I need you to tell me something sincerely. Would you?’ he asked with a serious face. Zoe looked away.

‘Excuse me. I want to go and attend to my husband.’ I said and left the sitting room.
I hid behind the curtains. Its not nice to leave a spinster nmabd a bachelor together in a room-its blood that rund through their veins, not petrol!

So, I watched…

‘Ask’ Zoe replied curtly. Sam smiled again. Good boy!

Go for your girl!

‘Did you miss me?’ he asked and my heart twingled.

Zoe is caught!

Zoe looked at him with a straight face, trying so hard to cover her embarrassment.

Sam smiled

‘Yes or no? ‘ he asked again and Zoe blushed.

‘I did.’ she said silently.

Sam looked happy, jumped up and b@nged the wall.

‘I said it! I knew she would miss me. I said it!’ he jumped up.
I smiled.

But Zoe looked unmoved.
What’s wrong with this girl?

Sam went on his knees and smiled happily.

‘Please Zoe, God is saying its you. The clips confirmed it to me when I came. Would you marry me? Please’ he asked
I looked at her expectantly.

Answer dear…. Say yes!

Just like a devil possessed witch, Zoe jumped up and pulled at Sam.

‘Why did it take you so long? Why Sam?’ She started the attack and my brain got busted.

This girl wont kill me!
What an embarrassment!

‘I am sorry. I just summoned courage’ he said, still smiling as Zoe still tugged at him
‘I almost said yes to the Devil’s Proposal.

I almost did. You almost came late’ she cried.

‘But God is never too late. He never is, Zoe’

Zoe pulled at him the more and I ran inside the sitting room to save the poor boy.

She left his collar and jumped at me.

‘Mummy, God is good. It’s Sam!…Hallelujah!’ she screamed.

Sam stood up beaming with smiles.

‘Mum, she hasn’t even given her answer yet’ he said.

I’ve never seen
I’ve never seen
Wonder wonder
Wonder wonder
This God nawa o
This God nawa ya o
This God nawa o
This God nawa ya o
I’ve never seen
I’ve never seen
Wonder wonder
Wonder wonder!
Zoe sang wholeheartedly and we both joined in the worship, as we knelt down to pray.

I looked at Zoe as tears cascaded down her face in humble adoration.

Thank you Jesus!
The devil’s butt has been kicked!
Oh yes!

The End!
