I settled in an empty chair while Jordan sat
beside me.I waited for him to start a speech for
more than ten minutes but he remained
silent.When i could not take the silence anymore i
asked him if he had something to say, else he
should excuse me.Jordan held my hand and said
“Have got nothing to say but i can talk from now
till eternity. I just want to be alone with you in a
quiet place like this and inhale your saint. That is
the one thing i miss the most about you” i could
not help but laugh at what jordan said “How can
you call me out here just to inhale my saint?” i
asked him. He did not give a response, he only
smilled and placed his head on my shoulder.
“Feels like home” he said with a smille.
I looked at him and folded my arms.I could not
help but remember the love we once shared,
even if it was for awhile, the memories was still
fresh.I felt like my place was with Jordan, but I
still comtemplated on what was right to do, giving
Jordan another chance or shutting my doors to
his love, he might end up cheating out of pity
again.I looked at Jordan again and decided
everybody deserves a second chance. He was my
first love and no matter how betrayed i felt, first
love they say never dies. I promised myself there
and then to give him a second chance when the
time comes.”Did you miss me?” Jordan brought
me back to reality with his question.The fact was
that i missed him over the years, but the hatred i
had for him never made me admit to the fact.I
could not give a response so i only sighed.
Jordan removed his head from my shoulder and
asked if i missed him again, now with full
seriousness. The look on his face was like his life
depend on my response. I smilled and said yes, i
did. Jordan breathe a sigh of relief and looked
into my eyes. He held my cheek and said ” A
second chance is all i can ask for right now
because you hold the key to my life. Finding love
was more difficult than bringing down the highest
mountain for the past five years but immediately i
set my eyes on you again, i felt love. I just want
to let you know that There is no love without you
Nancy and if only i can get another chance to be
with you, i will be the happiest man on earth. I
promise never to bleep up sunshine”
I could see the love in Jordan’s eyes and i could
feel the emotions in his words. At that particular
moment, my head was screaming yes, if only he
could read thoughts.
“So you abandon your only sister to be with a
guy? There is God o. Pick up your tiny a-s and
lets go home asap” Khole voice interupted,
stopping me from giving Jordan a response. I
pushed khole playfully and left with Jordan
holding hands. Jordan left with nelly, while i left
with Josh and Khole.

I woke up feeling lazy the following morning, i felt
as if the whole of Nigeria problem was on my
head. Khole wanted me to come with her that
morning while mom wanted me to go shop for
drinks with her after which i would join the interior
decorator to decorate the house and join the
maids to cook. I rushed out of my bed and said
my prayers before rushing to take my bath. I
dressed in a simple blouse and jean trouser and i
rushed to mi mom and mi dad’s room to say my
morning greetings. Khole was waiting for me in
the car already when i quickly had my breakfast
and dashed to the car.
Nelly joined us at “Head to toe ladies boutique”
minutes later and we all went in to shop. After
khole’s several rejection of selected dresses, she
finally settled for a peach dinner gown. The short
peach dress was body hug and it fitted khole
perfectly. The dress did close to nothing to hide
khole’s sexy curve and it made her look like a
beauty queen. ” I hope Josh won’t go gaga
tonight” i joked as khole checked herself out in
the mirror. We all laughed as we went to the
shoes section. After much persuasion and
rejection, khole finally picked a blue heels and a
matching blue jewelry. Khole looked drop dead
gorgeous when she wore her choosen dress, even
nelly could not hide her surprise. “Am sure alot of
guys will commit tonight” Nelly said as khole paid
for her purchase. We all laughed and bid nelly
goodbye as i left for home with Khole.
**********************
Immediately we got home, mom asked to see
khole’s dress, at first we refused, but with much
persuasion khole gave in. “Woah! Am ordering
the same dress right away” mom said when she
saw khole’s dress, we both laughed at mom and
made her know she was old and out of fashion. Mi
Mom took it as a challenge and she walked round
the living room swinging her hips to show that
she was still energetic.I was still having fun
watching mom do her catwalk when Jordan called
and i excused myself to my room.
“I just want to know what you will be wearing, it
wont be bad to look like a couple”
I could not help but laugh at Jordan request.

Jordan’s request made me realise i was yet to
pick a dress for the event, all i was bussy with
was mom’s plan. I jokingly told Jordan that i
would be wearing cloth and he exclaimed
“What?!” from the other end. I repeated myself
and he said “Oh really, i thought you will be
wearing leaves. Its good to know, you will be
wearing cloth” we both laughed at his joke and he
asked for the colour i would be wearing at the
event.
