...5...

Though she was dead tired, she heard the light knock on the front door from her sleep. She sat upright, half awake. It wasn't from the knock. It was because she had had a nightmare about an hour earlier and since then she hadn't fallen into total slumber, just hanging around the line between conscious and subconscious. She heard the infuriating knock again. She got out of bed then and wore her house slippers, grumbling about not being able to have enough sleep even in her own home especially on a day like that. It was Saturday, her day of rest, away from work and all the stress of life -what is if such was possible. She trudged to the door and looked through the peep hole. It was Taiye. Oh the man! What was he doing here? Besides what on earth did he want from her now? She just unlocked the door noisily and turned back into the house, to her bed, leaving him to let himself in. He did so and shut the door properly. By then, she had already climbed into bed once again. He went into the bedroom after her.

'Good Afternoon Seiyafa,' he greeted her, standing at the door to her bedroom.

'Hmm,' she answered grudgingly. Wouldn't he just leave her alone? The prick! She heard him come into the room and roam a little. What was he up to this time around?

'Is this a lace bra?' he asked raising the green underwear. That got her. She sat up instantly to see what he was holding up.

'Put that down!' she said. He shook his head and placed the bra over his flat chest, annoying her. 'I said you should put that down you pervert!' she yelled loudly, her anger coming undone.

'And if I don't?! And if I don't?!' he teased her. She flew put of bed towards him, snatching the green bra out of his arms. She whipped Jim a few times with the underwear. He groaned as if in pain.

'That serves you right!' She went to put the bra away on her drawer.

'Isn't that a dirty one?' he asked her. She sneered.

'It is none of your goddamn business you perverted male.'

'Oh yuck!' he mumbled. She ignored him. 'Well, I am happy that you are fully awake now. Frankly speaking, you should be dressed by now Seiyafa,' he pointed out.

'Why?' she asked thinking he was joking again.

'Seriously Sei? You are supposed to be dressed right now,' he stressed again, emphatically, with frustration.

'Why? What for?' she asked him with a puzzled look in his eyes, trying hard to search her brain. After a thorough rake of the medulla oblongata, her thinking faculty flashed a no result message across. He sighed. It was happening again. She had forgotten. This wasn't the first time that she was doing this, at least to him. She forgot things, all the time. He could not believe that she had forgotten this too. He was at fault. He should have called her and reminded her, knowing what she was like, especially when her mind was full and weary.

'Really Sei?' he asked her. She stared back at him with confused eyes. She looked really funny in a confused state and he was tempted to leave her confused for a moment.

'Do you care to explain to me why or not?' she inquired.

'Seiyafa,' he murmured in exasperation. 'My you not be the death of me,' he prayed with mock desperation. She eyed him for a brief moment. The gesture was seconded by a winding hiss. Well, it only went to prove that she had totally forgotten about their arrangement.

'I pray otherwise.'

'I'm here to take you to the party,' he stated frustratedly.

'Party? Party?' she asked and then she started to laugh. 'What party Taiye?You can't be serious.'

'I'm not joking Sei,' he said with a serious expression. She knew that look. He meant business. 'I'm really not joking. We are supposed to be at Monica's party, remember?'

'Monica?'

'Oh yes, Monica, my ex who dumped me on-'

'Quit the shit already! I know who Monica is! Just tell me what party you are talking about,' she snapped.

'It's her birthday party and she invited me remember? You are supposed to be my date to make her feel like crap, a loser. Come on, It was your idea now!' It all came to her then, everything, every god damn thing. Oh shit, she was doomed!

'And I remember it all now.'

'You chose now of all times to do so? When we are so late and you are not ready at all?'

'Forgive me Taiye,' she said to him with a guilty look. 'I'm sorry that I forgot Taiye. Mianhaeyo by.' she apologized. Oh how could she? She had forgotten. She had overslept. Lord have mercy on her! 'I'm sorry, i'm sorry, but I didn't mean to.' Really? How could she? God help her least she die at Taiye's hands.
