THE SLEEPOVER
When we finally came out of Bo's bedroom to the living room, I saw Grandma fast asleep on her sofa and her grandchildren also, though she instructed every one of us not to lie on either of them under no circumstances.
"Grandma! You need to go upstairs! Here isn't comfortable for you", I needed her to go upstairs.
"No", She rubbed her face with her right palm."I need to watch this movie until the end".
"Grandma, it's better to follow your doctor's advise, these kids will not go to bed till you do, and you won't want them to be late for tomorrow's class", Bo assisted me in blackmailing her.
"But the film is very interesting now", She refused to leave her seat.
"They'll replay it tomorrow, and we can as well record it, Grandma. That's why DSTV is different. Enjoy your money now", Bola told her.
"Oh! Okay!" Grandma rose on her feet immediately, and went to the staircase."Odaro eyin omo. Kasun layo, kaji layo(Good night kids. May we sleep and wake up well)".
"Amen", We chorused.
"Hmm! Mama de mama", I saluted Bola.
"You still have a lot to learn", We carried the little chicks to their respective bedrooms and returned to Bo's room where she selected my outfit for the night and did a little makeup for me.
The sweet side of Bo replaced me with one of her fashion mannequins, in case Grandma decided to check on me since she insisted we leave our door unlocked except when we were dressing up or having our baths. But to avoid her removing the blanket, Bo also brought up the idea of sleeping in her bedroom tonight also, under the disguise of a granddaughter who needs her grandma's warm embrace to fight against the cold night so she would keep an eye on her. We couldn't afford to use sleeping pills on her.
Uncle B was also part of the plan. He agreed to drive me there like he's got a customer. He would have told grandma the truth right away but he chose to help even though I messed up the other time. He wanted me to sort out the issues I had with the Marie Angels that night so I could live a responsible life again.
"Lord, please help me", I did the cross sign as I sat in the passenger's seat in his car.
"He will, Nife", Bo assured me with a smile. "He's always been helping you. But you don't know how to use the sense he's given you".
"I'm coming back for you!" I eyed her.
Rather than threaten to reveal my secret, Bola laughed and opened the main gate on our behalf. Then Uncle B drove out of our mansion to Michelle's home and advised me to stay out of trouble because he didn't want to get on Grandma's bad side. Afterward, he headed back home, without bothering to check the faces of the people I was hanging out with.
"One...Two...Three", I pressed the doorbell of Michelle's home.
" Oh! Nife, the new bee?" Someone appeared on the security camera.
"Yeah", I replied.
"Alright", He opened the door to show off his abs which were exactly six in number. I couldn't close my mouth after seeing them. I almost drooled!
