Something to make your heart do kikum kikum.

It was a Saturday morning and Olumide had decided to sleep in late. He needed all the rest he could get because of the hectic week.

August promised to come in later in the day so that they could go out and he  finally convinced Fiyi to come visit him from school.

She wrote her last exam the previous day and she promised to stop by before going home. His ever studious girlfriend. He finally got his wish and put a label on their relationship.  The mere thought of her brought a smile to his face

He was surprised when he heard his doorbell ring. He planned to ignore it but the sound kept disturbing him.
He pulled on his pajama bottoms and reluctantly went to the door to open it.

"What are you doing here?" he asked May, shocked to see her that early in the morning.

"I really need to talk to you," she said soberly.

"Come in, " he said opening the door wide. "Are you okay?"

"I don't think so."

"Please sit," he gently guided her to a sofa.

"Do you want coffee or tea?"

"No, I don't want anything."

"Okay, so what happened? I hope you are feeling much better."

"I am better in body but not my mind."

"Talk to me what is wrong?"

"I am here because of that conversation you promised me."

"Is that it?" Olumide sighed with relief. He thought something bad had happened to her. He dropped his phone on the table beside him where he was seated so that he could face her.

"I have been worried Olumide.

When I was sick, you used to visit and take care of me but right now, you behave as if I don't even exist. You no longer come to our place, what did I do?"

"You did not do anything May and I still love you, just not the way you want. I can't give you what you want, I already told you."

"Why, is there something wrong with me, do you have someone else?"

Olumide thought about it. He didn't want her to feel slighted, knowing that she feels that Fiyi was beneath her. In the same vein, he didn't want to lead her on.

"Talk to me Olumide, are you ignoring me because of someone else? If I have offended you, I am sorry. I'll make ammends."

Olumide felt bad.

"You did not do anything wrong. To be fair to you, and not raise your hope unnecessarily, I am in love with someone."

May burst into tears.

Olumide was flabbergasted.

"After all these years Olumide, you promised that no one will take my place. I love you enough for both of us, we can work something out?"

"How? I  don't love you that way." He explained.

She was weeping bitterly that Olumide had to pull her into a hug to soothe her.

He was surprised at her reaction, he didn't know it was this bad. He noticed that while she was recovering at home, she always lightened up whenever he visited, she always wanted him to be around and even insisted sometimes that he stay till she went to bed.

"You are a beautiful girl and any man will be lucky to have you. I am sorry I am not that guy."

He tried to calm her down but he seemed to be getting no where so, he excused himself to put something on, she was already soaking his body with her tears and caressing him. just in case another visitor comes knocking, he didn't want anyone to get any ideas.

He came back a few minutes later to see her face all red and blotchy. She was fidgeting.

"Why don't you clean up in the rest room?" He advised. He was thinking of the best way to dispatch her without being rude.

What if August comes in and meets her like this? He thought. He didn't want to start explaining what happened and he didn't want to embarrass her too.

"We can still be friends you know? I am sure you will find someone better than me."

"None will be better than you. I have waited all my life to hear you acknowledge my feelings for you. I have forsaken every other guy for you. If you are worried about my brother, I know how to handle him," she pleaded.

"It's not about your brother May, if I love you that way, I'll do the honorable thing, I just don't feel that way."

"Is it my maid?" She sniffed.

"She is no longer your maid, " he corrected.

"It is a form of betrayal on your part to date someone that poisoned me."

"Don't start May, please don't."

"It's the truth, " she emphasized.

"What if she planned to kill me so that she can be with you?"

"Leave her out of this May."

"It's her, isn't it?"

"May please go to the rest room and clean up, I don't like the way you look."

She reluctantly picked her bag and walked in the direction he pointed. She's been to his house before, but right now she was too distracted to think straight.

"Can I get a towel please, I think I stained my dress."

Olumide looked at her as if to ask how she could allow such happen.

"I am sorry, I have heavy flow when I am stressed."

"Walk into my room, you'll find one in there."

She walked away with her bag behind her.

Once again, another knock at the door caught his attention. He checked the wall clock and it was a few minutes past twelve. It could be August he thought and went to the door to check.

For the second time, he had a surprise visitor. She was not a surprise really but he was not expecting till later in the day.

"Honeybun!"  he pulled her into his embrace and kissed her thoroughly on the lips.

"Olumide!" She said when she pulled back for a breather. "When have you been planning this?"

He ignored her and pulled her back into his arms and continued to kiss her.

"Mr man, I need my lips back, " she pushed his chest.

"I am allowed to kiss my wife right"

"Who did you pay dowry to?" She teased. "What if Bamise was behind me?"

"He'll understand, moreover I know you are coming from school. I thought you were going to call me first."

"I called your line now and a female picked, I just ended the call. I think it was the network."

"My phone?" He searched his body and realized he had his pajama bottoms on and there was no pocket.

"Are you sure? I didn't hear my phone ring, I left it somewhere."

Fiyi dialed the number and they heard it ring in the living room.
Olumide went searching for the phone on the sofa when his bedroom door opened.

Fiyi was the first to lift her head towards the room.

May stood at the door of Olumide's room putting on his shirt that reached just below her butt cheeks and a satisfied smile on her face and her hair in all directions.
