Who knows if Teddy is Sola’s “Kiss Uncle?”
As I gisted you last week, Sola called to ask me what I did to her “uncle,” what effontery? I tried to reach Teddy but he wouldn”t pick his call, I wonder what the relationship between them is, I will surely give him a piece of my mind any time oga madam, misses ovuleria allows him to pick my call.
That reminds me, I promised to give you a gist last week, the “kiss uncle” deal abi who knows if Teddy is Sola’s “kiss uncle,” you know you can’t trust these men.
I had a friend in school; we were close. We had a good relationship, not like my relationship with this Sola girl. Temiloluwa (that’s her name) is one of the good girls on campus. She has a steady boyfriend, Dele. They have been dating even before she came to the university and everybody knew their relationship was altar bound.
Dele stayed in another town and he already had a good job so Temi, as we fondly call this lady, had no cause to look for a “Sugar”, because Dele was really living up to expectation and, of course, Temi’s parents were comfortable too; so she lacked nothing.
But, of course, you know the proverbial saying, “show me your friends”. She had no choice but to “sugar.” When a “mugun” insisted on spending his money on her, we encouraged her to help spend Uncle I.D’s money.
Temi, however, was one of the very lucky girls, because Uncle I.D. really liked her. In fact, at a time we had to warn her to be careful, because she too fell Yakata for Uncle I.D.
On a fateful Saturday, Dele came to town to see Temi. We all knew Saturday was a day to catch fun but, of course, she couldn’t send Dele away. He pleaded with us to stay with her and cover up for her. So we, her friends, decided to plan something so that Dele wouldn’t suspect anything.
We were all gisting away when I suddenly asked her when her Uncle would be arriving with the textbooks so we could do our assignment.
She got the gist and it sank. She was expecting him soon. We would have phoned Uncle I.D. not to come around but he was going on a trip to the UK the next day, so it was important that we saw him that day. Uncle I.D arrived and he met Dele. Of course, he had seen his photographs before; he knew who he was and he played a mature man’s game.
Immediately, he entered Temi’s room. I asked about the textbooks, and he replied that he couldn’t get to buy, he said we could all go out and look for them. A ploy to make Dele leave but he did not. Instead, he took Temi in his car and drove after Uncle I.D. with myself and two other friends in Uncle I.D’s car.
In his car, we knew he felt bad but he was only trying to be a big boy and because I knew how Temi felt about Uncle I.D., I knew she would be suffering too.
We actually went to the bookshop, from there we drove round hoping that Dele would get tired and leave, but he didn’t. I wondered if he suspected a foul play. Eventually, we settled down to take drinks and pepper soup at a joint and it was time for Uncle I.D. to leave. He whispered to me that he would do anything to have Temi in his arms; he couldn’t wait.
He had to leave so as to plan for his trip the following day. I told him what to do. He moved to his car and we saw him off. Fortunately, Dele did not follow, he sat back and watched with eagle eyes.
When Uncle I.D was about getting into his car, my friends and I tactically blocked Dele and Uncle I.D invited Temi to come over and kiss uncle. Temi went into Uncle I.D’s arms and they kissed like the world was coming to an end.
Since that day we nicknamed Temi, kiss uncle.
