He talks about you everyday” the voice keeps flashing back at me. I was so stupid to fall for that crappy line. How come Ay, was just telling me about him? . He didn’t mention any Philip last time I checked up on him, and we were on the other end of the line for quite a while. ”

A pat on my shoulder  brought me back to my environment. The bustling life and the noisy room brought the party to life. “I miss this life” I said with a smile on my lips.

“I told you, leaving here wasn’t the best choice. ” Ayo smiled at me.
“Common , you know why I left . Nothing good comes out of this city ” I replied
“Well am still here,am still good ” in defense

” Ayo, I didn’t mean it that way. I have lived my whole life in this town. Remember we talked about this in high school. I was going to leave and chase my dream ……”

He cuts in

” While I stay to manage my dad’s business.  And now we living that dream. Anna , I have to say you have really grown up into a fine woman.  Your parents will be proud of you. ”

“Thanks Ayo ” teary eyes. I gave my friend a bear hug. I tried my best to contain the tears about to fall off my eyes. I want can’t lose it now. Not with everyone watching us now.

” Well, well ,well. If it’s not the duo…. ”

I untangled myself from his embrace, with my gaze on the familiar voice .

” Bianca ” I muttered ” What a bitch !” In silence .

” I SEE YOU HAVEN’T CHANGED …. HOW ABOUT NEXT TIME

YYOU TAKE PERMISSION FROM ME BEFORE YOU HUG MY MAN” she said 

” What!” In fury , my gaze fell back on Ayo.
