CAMARADERIE TROUBLES

Solomon heard a thud from the door.

He woke up and swabbed the saliva that dripped from a corner of his lips. He glanced up at the clock. "Goodness me! 10:00 pm." Selena wasn't back yet. He fitted into the flip flops beside the large Chelsea armchair. He edged towards the door.

"Baby, is that you?" He asked, quite drowsy.

He got no response.

He opened the door.

"Darling!!!" Selena staggered. She hugged her LOML.

"Seline, this isn't fair and you know that. I mean look at the time, it's 10 pm. Why are you doing this to me?"

"Honey, I'm sorry.. I never planned for all these to happen. I got to go check on Amanda; my lil sister. She called a few minutes after I was through at Akorrs. I was making my way home already"

"And how about her, she good?" Solo asked with hands akimbo.

"She isn't fine" she raised her eyebrows

"I woulda spent the night at her place but I knew you definitely could'nt take that. You are always muddled any moment I'm away. As a matter of fact, I had a flat phone battery. It would be wrong if I hadn't got you aware of it" she paused and dropped the heavy shopping bags.

"She's got a feud with one of her lecturers lately".

"What feud?"

He led her from the doorway with his hand on her waist.

They hugged deeply again.

"Honey, I missed you so much. I had a bad Friday and that's because you were away. Don't kill me please"

Selena burst into laughter.

"So what if I had slept at Amanda's place?"

"That would have gotten me utterly stumped. I can't imagine what I would have done." He smiled, shaking his head.

They both made way to go drop the grocery stuff in the store. They put the house and every other thing in order.

They walked to the bar and sat on the long tall barstools. Solomon drank the remaining wine he had drunk halfway in the afternoon. He cocked it up.

"Darling, you still haven't gotten over Tequila?" Selena chuckled. She also sipped from a glass of the drink.

"You and I know I can't get over this shii....

Tequila till the end of me. I think you were talking about Amanda. What about her?" He scratched his head.

"Yea, yea... What was I even saying?" She asked, probably lost her line of thought..

"That she's worried or something?" His lashes fluttered.

"Yup, it's a whole long story."

She had just a lecture that day; MTH107, which she decided to forgo. "Of what use?" She said. It's been long she prayed serious prayers like this. Prayers where she would sweat profusely, blast in tongues, and even weep. This was obviously prompted by something. Amanda would never
