I fainted...
As I opened my eyes, I noticed I was wet! Kenny don use Water baff me finish. "Are you ok?" Kenny asked. "You just fainted like that, you almost hit your head on the chair",he said. "Shade!!! That name sounds familiar... I dunno, I Just blacked out", I said. "Maybe its just a coincidence, someone very significant from your past must bear that name I guess",kenny said. "Here, give me your hand, you really scared me ooo".
I wasn't really bothered about kenny...shade, that was all I could think about... Shade. Kenny was so excited, he kept going on and on about the company he just bought. "Tell me about this shade",I said. Kenny explained that she is the wife of the former CEO who died in a car accident. He said the lady couldn't take the hit and she decided to sell off the company to settle loan sharks. "Poor woman, life must have been so hard on her", I thought. Kenny couldn't wait to share the good news with his brother. We both waited for him but he dint come home.
The next morning, I heard the door bell. "Who is that?", I asked as I approached the door. "Morning nike, how was your night?",taiwo asked! "Wale, I mean taiwo, why dint you call that you weren't gonna come home?", I asked. He explained that has he was trying to leave the hospital, A woman in labour was rushed in so he had to attend to her. "Oh I was worried", I said as I held him tight! "Ohhhhh that body...chimoo na here I go die put",I thought to myself. To my surprise, Taiwo held me. He actually held me close! As in, he wrapped his hands round my waist! "Hehe my juju don dey work", I thought again. Na God say make I wear that orange nightwear wey show my bobby well well!!! Lols! "Why don't you go in and shower",I said as he walked towards his room.
"Breakfast is ready", I yelled! Taiwo came out of his room with a rather strange look on his face. "What's wrong with you", I asked. "Nothing", that was his sharp response! "Nothing"!!!! I was about to give him the response he deserved when kenny hugged me from behind. "Good morning beautiful"! I dint even know when I start blushing like a fool! We all sat down to eat. No be say I Cook anything special ooo. For say I know, I for no cook rice n chicken. "Nike, pass me the 'dodo' please, I really like the taste" kenny said with a smile on his face. " No nike, I want it" taiwo said with a straight face. I was really confused because na only one 'dodo' remain. "Why do you always want what I want?", kenny asked. "What nonsense, this is my house, I own whatever is in it!". "Oh really, I'll just leave then", kenny said as he stormed out of the living room. I knew something was wrong. How can two blood brothers fight over dodo. Taiwo left the dinning table angrily too.
Confusion was the order of the day. Dodo?! Two grown men?! What's going on?! I had to talk to one of them. I walked quietly to kenny's room. "Kenny, what's going on? I have never seem you this way", I asked. "Its taiwo. He always wants what I want. I guess he never thought I would still turn out like this. He was our parents favourite. Always the best in everything. The Mr know it all! He had everything! Everything. We attended baptist academy, where he chose to be in science class and I settled for Art. In our form 4, I met a girl, Nneka. That's her name. She is from the east but her mum is Yoruba. I was really planning to ask her out until I heard taiwo had. I was so angry! I confronted him, I begged him! Just that one thing...let me have just that one thing. He refused and said he liked her from the first day I took her to his class. I dint want to take her ooo. But she insisted! She was having problem with her further maths and I wasn't so good in maths. You should have seen the lust in his eyes when he met her. He stole her from me! That moron! Taiwo n I stopped talking and we denounced our brotherhood". "Twsch, I sighed! Because of a girl??!", I asked! " Not just any girl, the girl of my dreams. I watched my Brother date my girl. The worst part was that I dint even get the chance to tell her how I Felt before she died". "Ehen!!! Died? How? why?!",I cut in. " She was involved in an accident. Hit by a bus. She died in the hospital", he explained. I felt bad. Such a sad story. "I blame taiwo for her death! He caused it. He was standing at the other side of the Road n she was trying to cross the road to meet him!". "It wasn't his fault, it could have happened to anyone",I said. I thought he has changed. Apparently,I was wrong! I'm leaving... He picked his bags and left...
