Me:Hello
Clara:Hello darling,what's up?How are you doing?
Me:Am fine and you?
Clara:Same
Let's hear what she has to say.
Clara:Actually Vince I just wanted to tell you that I will be travelling out of the country for some business and I will be back maybe in a week time but my flight is scheduled for 3p.m,so why don't you came over to my place and keep my company or should I come over to your own place then I will leave from there?
Me: Hmm I will come over to your place.Just give me an hour.
Clara:Okay I will be expecting you.Bye.Love you
Me:Bye.Love you too.
We ended the call and as I placed my phone down on the table so as to able to continue my food,another call came in and it was from Rita.Immediately,I picked it up.
Rita:Hello handsome
Me:(Laughs) Hello pretty how are you doing?
Rita:Am fine and you.
Me: Same
Rita:I saw your message and the message was wow,don't tell me you composed that yourself?
Me: I did
Rita:Liar, I know you can't compose something that romantic.
Me:Who told you am not romantic?
Rita: My instincts
Me:Well,then I think you've got it all wrong
Rita:Okay oh,I will accept what you say but you have to prove it to me
Me: How
Rita:You must show me how romantic you can be today and anyway, thanks for the birthday wish.
Me:UWC
After talking for a little while more,we finally ended the call with her telling me to be in her house before 4pm.I rushed my food as fast as possible then went to my room to dress before proceeding to Clara's house.
On getting to Clara's house,she was fully dressed already and I must confess she looked stunningly beautiful.
"Hey baby thank God you came"She said as she hugged me tightly
Me:I actually had something to do that was why I didn't come on
time.
Clara:Okay since the time now is 1:30pm,i guess we should start going to the airport. I know you don't want me to miss this.
We carried her bags(3 bags;just because of a week,I don't what is wrong with girls) to my car before I drove her to the airport,we got there around 2:40 because of the heavy traffic. Then it was as if the devil was working alongside with the airlines because immediately we got there,they started telling us that due to the weather, the flight has to be delayed until the weather was good enough for the plane.I looked at my time,3:00pm,there was no way I was going to get there by 4pm and I could not even call her to lie to her.

Rita was going to have her party in her sitting room and the sitting room was already decorated beautifully by her friend Joyce who happened to be an event manager.
Joyce:Hey girl what's the gist?You seem too happy.
Rita: Am I that obvious?
Joyce:Of course.So....(Winks)
Rita:It's nothing
Joyce:Hey when did you start hiding something from me?
Rita:Am not hiding anything?
Joyce:Really?Don't worry I will catch you red-handed.
Rita looked at her watch;4:30pm,he should have been here or maybe he was busy with something but he should have called.
Rita kept on looking at her watch every minute,she tried his number but he didn't pick up.What happened? She waited for him but still he didn't show up and the party started without him.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
I stood in the airport waving to Clara as the aeroplane was now ready to take off.I looked at my wristwatch;8:30 pm. The party must have started about 30 minutes ago and Rita will be totally angry with me.God punish all these airlines.
On getting to the party,I checked my time and behold the time was 11:00pm.Nigeria traffic ehn,may God help us.I looked around the room in search of Rita but she was nowhere to be found.After about 50 minutes,the party finally came to an end, then I saw Rita standing at a corner with a girl whose name I don't know.
"Hello"I said waving to her and on getting to where they were, the other girl left immediately. Sharp girl.
Me:Hey Rita am..........
Rita:Hey young man just don't tell me anything, am not ready to hear anything from you.
Me:Rita pls let me explain
Rita:Okay say what you have to say and leave my presence immediately you are through.
Me:Rita actually I was asked to attend a family meeting by my dad and I could not turn his request down but the truth is that I had actually left there since 3pm but due to the distance and the traffic, I could not get here on time.Please Rita am sorry
Rita:Please since you are through,you can leave now.
Omo this girl don't vex oh but not to worry,I still have some cards up my sleeves.
Me:Okay since you don't want to see me anymore,I can't just go back home with your birthday gift.
"Keep it for yourself" She said as she pushed it back towards me and as she was about to walk away,I grabbed her hand and pulled her towards me.
"Please am sorry" I said as I looked into her eyes with one of my most mesmerizing looks.I knew she was falling for it.
Rita:Don't disappoint me again
Me:Yes ma
She collected the box and opened it only to see her favorite type of cake 'chocolate cake'
Rita:Hmm you really know what I like but for coming late,you have to spend the whole night with me.
Me:Hmmm
Rita:Do you have anything to say to that?
Me:No
