CHAPTER 26; SHE IS SOMETHING ELSE

After staring at the

retreating figure of

Sylvia for a while, I

turned back to face

Sharon. Her face was still

curved in a smile. I stared at

her, not knowing what to say

next. After staring silently at

each other for a while, she

finally spoke.

"I think we should leave now. I

will come to your place later

in the evening for the

tutorial." she said

I thought she has something

important to tell me.

"Sharon" I called

"yes dear" she responded.

"I thought you wanted to tell

me something important" I

said

"yes, but let's leave that for

now. when I come to your

place for the tutorial, I will tell

you." she responded.

"okay" I said

"where are you going from

here?" she asked

"I don't know. anywhere the

spirit leads me" I responded.

"okay, I'm just asking so that I

won't get to your place and

start waiting" she said.

"you won't have to wait. I will

get home on time" I assured

her.

"okay let's leave then" she

said.

we left the garden and went

our separate ways.

I found myself going back to

the garden called, the garden

of eden in school. I couldn't

explain why I was going back

there. the last time I was

there, I didn't do anything

important aside from staring

at ladies trooping in and out of

the garden. the garden is a

perfect place for lovers to

show how much they love

each other. you would always

see a guy and a lady cuddling,

kissing, or doing all sort of

things when you get to the

garden. it is the only place in

school where students are free

to do whatever they like

without any disturbance. it is

believed that the garden of

eden is the only place you can

woo a lady and ask her to

come over to your place at that

spot, and she would agree

without any stress. it is also

believed that ladies who

usually come to the garden are

those who want to explore the

world and use the freedom

they have gotten to the

maximum, after being held

bondage by their parent before

gaining admission. so wooing

a lady in the garden of eden is

as easy as abc. they don't

prove difficult to get, and if

you play your card well, she

might agree to go to you place

with you.

I made myself believe I was

going to the garden to clear my

mind of all worries and

nothing else. I got to the

garden, and as usual, the place

was already filled with guys

hanging out with their woman.

I located an empty seat beside

a tree and sat down. I kept

staring at ladies trooping in

and out of the garden. I didn't

do anything else aside from

staring at any lady that passed

my way. I was enjoying what I

was seeing. it was really

pleasing to the eyes. After

about an hour, I heard

someone called my name from

behind. I recognized the voice.

I quickly turned to see Kate

standing behind me. her face

was curved in a smile. she

walked to me and sat beside

me.

"Christian, how are you?" she

asked

"I'm good and you?"

"I'm good too" she responded

Her mood suddenly changed.

"Christian I'm really angry

with you" she said.

"why, what did I do?" I asked

"don't ask me. just know that I

will never set foot in your

house again" she said

"this is serious. please tell me

what I did wrong, so that I will

know how to correct my

mistake." I said.

"you have to find out yourself.

I can't tell you that. just take

your mind back to the last

time I visited you. you will

realize your mistake." she said

"okay, I will try find out what I

did wrong, and when I realize

it, I will surely come back and

make correction." I said

"hmm, maybe that will be

when we have already

graduated from this school."

she said

"I promise you, I will find out

very soon" I said

"okay, let me believe you

then." she said

"I have to leave now. I have an

important appointment by

6pm"

"okay" I responded.

she stood up and left the

garden. I continued staring at

ladies trooping in and out of

the garden when Kate left. I

turned my gaze to the left and

saw a lady staring at me. she

was sitting alone at the far-left

of the garden. I stared back at

her without blinking. After a

while of staring at each other,

she stood up and walked

towards me. she got to me and

sat beside me.

"hi" she greeted

"hi" I responded

"I guess you haven't seen your

spec" she said

"I don't understand" I said,

confused.

"don't pretend not to know

what i'm talking about. I know

why you are here. you are

looking for the next lady who

would warm your bed. I have

been watching you for a while

now. I saw you staring at

every lady that passed your

way. I guess you have not seen

any lady that match your

taste." she said.

look at how this lady is laying

false accusation on me . I

thought. I have to play along

to see what she was driving at.

"so you caught me already.

you can't blame me. man got

to ease himself of some stress.

it is not bad to mingle and

have fun after the day's stress"

I said

"so you have not seen anyone

to mingle with since you have

been here" she said

"not really. I have not seen

any lady that match my taste.

it won't be a bad idea if we

mingle. since we are both

alone" I said.

"you mean the both of us?"

she asked

"yes" I responded

She laughed out loud

immediately.

"sorry, you are not my type"

she said

I was hurt by that statement,

but I remained calm.

"so can you describe your kind

of guy to me" I said

"guys with flashy cars" she

responded

"I see. so how are you so sure

that I'm not your kind of guy,

when you are only seeing me

for the first time" I said

"do you have a car?" she

asked.

"you will have to find out

yourself" I said

"how?" she asked

I wanted to speak but my

phone started ringing. I

brought out the phone from

my pocket and realized the call

was from Sharon.

"give me a minute" I said to

the lady beside me and picked

the call.

"hello Sharon" I said

"Christian I hope you are at

home, because I'm already on

my way to your place." she

said

"yes I'm at home" I lied

"okay I will be there very

soon" she said

"okay" I responded.

I ended the call and turned to

face the lady beside me.

"that was one of your side

chick right?" she asked

"something like that. I have to

start leaving now. she needs

me" I said

"okay" she responded

"so what's your name" I asked

"I can't tell you that now.

maybe when next we meet.

and make sure you are with

your car when next I see you"

she said

"okay" I responded.

I stood up and left the garden.

'that lady is something else' I

said to myself as I left the

garden.
