"Naomi! Naomi! Wait oo" the woman called.

I froze and took some steps away from Freddy. I heard clicking sounds of heels stomping on the tiles and the woman appeared beside me.

"Aren't you Naomi?" she muttered.

"Good morning...no...Good evening. Hmm...sorry! Good Afternoon ma," I stuttered and hid my ice cream behind my back.

"How are you? How is your mother?" the towncrier of our street asked.

Let me introduce this woman to you. She is referred to as Mummy Somto. She is that kind of person that you can never trust. Never tell her your secrets. Never! You will regret it. She has a shop in our street which gives her the opportunity to get gist from all her customers. As soon as you tell her something about your private life, she would share it with all her customers. Never ever in your life should you trust her. my mom learnt that the hard way.

Let me gist you! My mom had a quarrel with one of my neighbors. She was so angry that she told Mommy Somto about the fight. She also added some insults during her narration. Mummy Somto, typical towncrier told the neighbor what my mom said about her. The woman also gave her narration and added some insults to it. Mummy Somto came as a saint and told my mom. My mom got angry and confronted the woman. A big fight was about to take place but my dad and some people stopped it.

Chai, I was angry eh! I wanted to watch fight. I know my mom would have beat that woman hands down. Now that you know the woman, you can imagine the bad situation I have entered.

"Answer me na! How is your mother?"

"She is fine, ma"

"What are you doing here?" she asked and waved her hands in the air to lay emphasis on the word 'here'.

I looked around and caught sight of a woman pushing a trolley.

"I'm here to buy something" I replied in a courteous manner.

"Here?" she exclaimed.

No oo! In your village! Where does this place look like? Isn't it a mall? See me see trouble oo!

"Are you alone?" she quizzed and placed both hands on her waist.

Is it wrong for me to come here by myself?

"Who is with you?" she insisted.

"Anita!" I yelped. "Hmm...I...I am here with Anita".

"Where is she?"

On my head! I don't mean to be disrespectful but this woman is annoying.

"She went to get the stuff we are supposed to buy" I said with a sigh of irritation.

"Are your parents aware?"

Questioner! This is what I needed in my life! A beautiful woman who would come and be asking me questions in the middle of a crowded hallway. Life is so great!

Abeg! Please cue my sarcasm!

Time to blow lies!

"My parents sent me!"

"Seriously!" she gasped. "What are you buying?"

Hmm...Let me see! I think It is called 'None of your business, woman!'

"It is personal!" I snorted. The cold ice cream cup was dripping water. I held onto it even though my hands were feeling numb.

My ice cream is melting oo!

"Personal! Like what?"

I need this topic to change! I know what this woman is trying to do. She wants to get details so that she could blab it to anyone, including my parents. Na wa oo!

"Wow! Ma, your dress is beautiful!" I lied.

It looks like an ancient gown and it is below her knees. Take a look at the dull color of this dress. I don't even want to talk about the fact that it's oversized.

Her smile expanded on her round face and she glanced at her dress. "It is fine, abi! My husband bought it for me" she bragged.

Chai, does your husband really love you?

"Okay ma! I want to..."

She cuts me short sharply, "I and my husband came here alone".

"Wow! Okay! I need to..."

She interrupted, "My children wanted to follow us but I decided that my husband and I need some time alone".

This is SUPER STORY, a life of strive and sorrow! This is SUPER STORY! This is SUPER STORY! EE EAH! Oh yeah!

Please oo! I did not ask you to give me the story of your life!

"Ehen! " I exclaimed. "I forgot oo! I need to leave urgently".

I began my race to anywhere my legs could lead me.

"Greet your parents for me oo!" she screamed.

Not going to happen! My parents don't need your fake greetings.

"Naomi!" Freddy called.

I stopped running and panted. I jogged to him.

"Who was that woman?" he questioned.

"Mtchew! I don't want to talk about it" I hissed. I looked at my ice cream and sighed. "See what that woman had caused! My ice cream has melted" I whined.

"Drink it na!"

"That's not fun!" I mumbled.

"That reminds me. I need a new headset!" Freddy hollered.

I followed his eyes till I was staring at what he was looking at. His eyes were on a red headset displayed behind a glass. He took hold of my hand and pulled me into the shop.

He picked the red headset and smiled, "I will buy this. What do you think?"

I squinted my eyes and shrugged.

"Anyone would be okay! You are a fine guy na!" I blurted and slammed my hand on my mouth.

His eyes widened before a smug smile made its way to his pink lips.

"Thank you, Cupcake" he winked.

I avoided his eyes, drank my ice cream and disposed the cup.

I can't believe I just said that. Wow! But... I feel happy that I got that out of my chest. Freddy is actually fine! He should know that but his head should not blow oo! Because if he starts to brag, I will land him a wonderful slap.

"Don't you want to buy something?" he asked.

I eyed the wireless earphones and shook my head, "No! I'm fine"

"I could get you anything you ask for!" he held my hand and squeezed it tenderly with a big smile on his face.

"Seriously? If I ask for five hundred cars, will you give me?" I teased and placed my other hand which Freddy wasn't holding on my waist.

"Yes! Don't you trust me?" he chortled.

"Mtchew! Waka jare!" I chuckled.

My eyes glanced at the wireless earphones.

Please be mine! I want one! Should I tell him?

"Hmm..." I trailed off.

If I ask na, it would look like I am needy. I don't want to look like those girlfriends that beg a lot. Beside, I am saving money to buy one. I can buy it somewhere else.

"Wow!" Freddy exclaimed and shook his head. "So you want that, right?"

He pointed at the earphones my eyes were fixed on.

I blushed and bit my bottom lip. I nodded my head and whispered, "I want one!"

"Then it shall be done! My Cupcake deserves the best! I will get anything for my cute girlfriend," he teased and pinched my cheek.

I rolled my eyes and with a sore voice I mumbled "Thank you".

His hand slipped out of mine as he picked the box that had the earphones. "Let's go, Cupcake!"

He bought the earphones and the headset. I am really happy. I'm so glad he bought it for me.

Couples gathered at different corners, taking pictures. The walls were designed with unique wallpapers. Some walls were just plain with nice colors.

"Should we take some pictures?" Freddy asked.

With a weird accent I exclaimed, "Let take some sele-fees!"

"It is selfies!" Freddy corrected.

"I know! I was just joking"

We began a competition. Who could take the ugliest or funniest selfie? Freddy was good at it. In some of his selfies, he looked like a monkey. I literally. His funny face selfies were good but mine, were too good.

I glanced at the last selfie!

Am I talented in making ape faces? Geez, see how I look like a real monkey! Freddy must delete all these pictures! They are too horrible!

We started making different videos! It was fun making crazy videos.

"Sorry! Excuse me!" a thing voice with a weird accent called.

Freddy and I glanced at the person.

Chimo! See these girls oo! If I dress like this, I know my parents would disown me.

My eyes widened as I sized the girls. Two of them were wearing shorts!

Have you ever heard of 'very short shorts? Now you have! This shorts are like an underwear. Their rear ends are actually showing!

I frowned at their thick thighs and broad hips. They look like they are of my age. When I looked at their faces, my face scrunched more.

God blessed you oo! They are beautiful. Makeup even made them finer!

If a person's frown could intensify, then mine would have.

Their cleavage were all showing. Who would wear a v-neck shirt that would expose their delicate parts?

Without hesitating, I snapped my head to Freddy and watched where his eyes were fixed on.

A sigh escaped my lips when I discovered his eyes were on their faces.

What are all these girls doing here? Are they trying to steal my boyfriend? They are taking his attention.

"Please, it's my birthday and I am celebrating. Could you help us take group pictures? We want to take group pictures and we were hoping you could help us out?" her thin voice leered. She was the girl with the shortest shorts!

Forgive me but I am not a native of an English land!

Her long artificial lashes batted as she stressed the word "Please!".

She placed a hand on Freddy's shoulder.

Freddy, don't fall my hand! Please reject her! Please na! You can't leave me hanging.

"Okay!" Freddy's voiced. I felt like I was stabbed.

I narrowed my eyes at him. It annoyed me to see him smiling at the girls.

It looks like some nuts are loose in Freddy's head! Does anyone have a screwdriver? It would be really useful right now!

~~~Author's note~~~

What is Naomi going to do to Freddy?

Does anyone have a screwdriver? Cos I have one 🔧 😉
