TRINITY (TWENTY-TWO)


Akweley woke up the next morning quite late. She had her shower before getting out of the room. She raced into the kitchen as she smelt something burning but Adjeley was already there putting off the fire.
 The kitchen reeked of smoke.Apparently, Adjeley left the leftover that she took from the meal they had at the beach on the stove and went ahead to have her bath and now the food was burnt. Adoley was nowhere to be found and so was Akweley’s Bmw car key. Left them wondering where she could have gone to.

Adjeley walked in on her hugging her pillow. She yelled out for Akweley to come quick. She had been lost in her thought and the fact that Adjeley stood in front of her laughing hysterically made her feel uncomfortable.

 She got up and pushed her out of the room and locked the door behind her. She heard Adjeley telling Akweley what she saw and what she was probably thinking about.

 They stood behind her door and teased her for a while but she didn’t open up for them so they left her alone.Adoley came back to the house an hour later. She had gone to a nearby supermarket to get them some foodstuff.

 She was glowing and ignored Adjeley when she inquired about the time that she left the house. She packed the foodstuff on the shelf and Akweley offered to make them breakfast. They stood and watched on. Then Adjeley asked
 
‘Why are you all dressed up if you just went out to buy foodstuff?’

Adoley sighed knowing that Adjeley would bug her till she knew the truth. She grinned and told them that she went out with Michael to the supermarket. He had called her in the evening and they had talked about the fact that there was nothing at home. He insisted that they go together since he also needed some things for his house.

‘I also offered to cook him a meal …since there was nobody to do that for him?’
Adjeley retorted ‘You could have as well agreed to sleep with him!...what is wrong with you? We met the guy just yesterday and you are already throwing yourself at him. He must think you are cheap’

Adoley walked out of the kitchen. She was not upset by her utterance, she left because she felt the same way but she couldn’t help it. She felt the need to help him out with the cooking when he told her that he couldn’t cook.

 He seemed like a nice person. But Adjeley followed her to the hall and went on to lecture. Adoley just gazed at her and said nothing. When she finally spoke she asked her

‘What do you suppose I do? Tell him I cannot make it? Or I have an idea…i would call and tell him that you think I’m a slut for agreeing to cook for him in his house. How about that’

‘I think that is a good idea’ Akweley chipped in as she put the breakfast on the table and asked that they join her. They ate the breakfast in silence till Adjeley asked
‘So when is the chef going to cook for the stranger?

‘Your being sarcastic would not help…and as for your question, I told him I was free this afternoon….’

‘Oh my gosh…you are such a slut. Are you that desperate?’ Adjeley exclaimed.

Akweley told her she didn’t see anything wrong with going to cook for Michael but rather asked that she be careful. She was a big girl and could take care of herself. She believed they were making a fuss out of nothing.

 Michael on the other hand was a real gentleman and he had assured her that he would behave himself. They watched a movie and when it was over, Adoley went in to dress up. She wore a straight dress which was down to her knee.

 The way the sequenced fabric flowed was elegant. It was flawless and fitted her body perfectly bringing out her curves. Adoley was dressed to kill.She wore her heels and stepped out of her room.She had bought just two dresses to complement the jeans and shirts she had brought. 

When she got to the hall, she got the audience she hoped for but then Adjeley eyed her and she knew that Adjeley would not let her leave in peace so she asked 

‘Ok…now what did I do this time?’
