Chapter 44
Anu-Ms K
Nkem and I go shopping after my lesson with the kids. We have a few things we both need for the wedding and her cousin also sent a list of items she needs. As we shop, she tells me Teni has been calling and she had to block him.
“I’m sorry he’s harassing you,” I say to her.
She scoffs.
“You know I can handle him. Right now, my energy is best spent looking good for this event and not worrying about some entitled boy,” she says in her ‘I don’t gift a fuck’ manner. I laugh.
“Thanks, Nkem.”
“I got you. I know his ugly ass is going to try and pull some stunts, but I’m ready for him. I think he needs my crazy side to know that he needs to back off.”
“Please, just ignore him, because I plan to,” I sigh.
“What’s wrong?” her concern is immediate
“Nothing. Just that I can tell Daniel is a bit jealous of Teni, and I don’t get why he would be jealous of a guy I broke up with and I've blocked from calling me.”
“Did you tell him Teni would be at the wedding?”
“Yes, I didn’t want to hide that from him.”
“And you wonder why he’s still a bit jealous, considering Teni is not moving on.”
“Well, I will share my itinerary with him. Hopefully that will ease his mind.”
“With the way Daniel is all over you, I’m surprised he’s not coming to Canada with you.”
“I wasn’t giving room for that.” I snicker
She laughs.
We finish our shopping and return to her place.
I might spend the night there. Daniel had to travel to New York again.
The rate at which he flies back there, I had to ask when he was moving back, in case I needed a heads up.
He didn’t think that was a funny joke. I guess he also doesn’t like being away from me.
After dinner with Nkem, I went home to meet the piles of clothes on my bed that I don’t want to fold but I decided to fold just this once, since I don’t want to sleep on the sofa or Daniel’s bed.
About an hour later, I feel pain in my limbs. This can’t be happening; I take the pain meds. I take more meds as the pain increases and eventually push the app button to alert my group.
