Night with a ghost.

I have been living a normal life and was comfortable with what I had till that fateful day I was
Coming back from school with aishat my girlfriend as usual.

cheering and admiring her just like I did every day, that’s how I used to do, cuz she was everything to me, we needed to cross a road for us to get to the bus stop after the long nuisance vehicle (trailer) had passed, I held her by the wrist and we crossed,

Conductors were just shouting, exposing their expired teeth, and waving to get passengers’ attention,
Let’s enter this one,” aishat said and pointed at a rusty bus that am sure must have been used by series of forefathers,

No please, I don’t want anything that will stain you for me,” I said to her and she couldn’t help but expose her shiny teeth in a glorious smile.

I sighted another one and it was a bit manageable, so we entered that one, the seat we used was the one at the extreme and the bus was actually remaining two persons for it to leave after we entered, and the only vacant seat was the one we sat on, another person entered, which means, we lacked only one passenger to go,
I didn’t get to see the person that sat beside me as aishat was showing me something on her phone,

When I looked up, I nearly, screamed because of what I saw,
A beautiful girl that had no comparison on earth, her lips alone can make one lose control,

And the most attractive part is that she wore a mini skirt that exposed her fair smooth and hairy thighs,
I felt some reaction on my laptop and I was sure that my ak47 was trying to come out and see for itself,
I needed to remove my eyes immediately because the feeling was becoming weird, I looked at aishat and she was just busy smiling at her phone,

As I was just Lost in thoughts, a voice drew me out of reality and I nearly choked, it was like the voice of an angel, not just an angel but the one that sings for the holy one in heaven,

I used to tell aishat that she’s got a sweet voice but then I realized that, vanity upon vanity, all is vanity,

I’m talking to you,” the voice said again and I nearly traveled to America by spirit,

Yes?,” I said while trying to maintain contact with her,” I discovered that every part of her was made up of beauty, her eyes sparked and her lashes blossomed like the lilies of the valley,

I was asking how much you have,” she repeated,

How much do you have,” I asked back, that’s me, always replying to questions with questions,

“One thousand,” she replied and I noticed her face was without expression,

Hmm, I don’t think they would have a balance to give for such amount, you know the charge is just #50, “I marked out responsibly,

Which is why I want to know how much you have,” she replied with a mean expression.

Don’t bother, I will take care of that, I said hoping to get a Big thank you but what I got was a big silence.

Oya oo, your money there, line by line, hol your change oo “the conductor announced in a street vernacular and everyone began to pay till it got to my seat and I brought out money and paid for everyone on my seat,
before you start to promote me, just know that the T-fare was just #50 and we were four on the seat, the average woman thanked me but the beautiful angel said nothing, making me think less about her,
I checked aishat who was just busy with her phone, her smile was just like when a girl is chatting with his boyfriend,
it made me uneasy and I needed to find out,
“what are you doing, “I asked while drawing her into my Bossom,

what else will I do if not reading your stories,” she said making me relieved,

Which one are you reading, I asked,
“Tears of A pregnant virgin”
She replied,
That episode where the street boy went to ask those girls out and one of them pushed him making him fall like the wall of Jericho,” she recited amidst chuckles,

Can you do that to a guy that gets close to you, no matter how handsome?” I asked with a lame grin,

She looked at me, and I discovered her expression was mean,
I won’t do that,” she echoed and I almost cough in disappointment,

I will do something more better than that for us,” she completed her word and my face lit up again,

made you scared, I bet” she said amidst chuckles and I couldn’t help but held her closer to me,

“scare is just an understatement, you know I can’t stand seeing you close to anyone, “I uttered with a moody tone.

You know you’re my joy and happiness, I can never stop loving you,” she said soberly and I nearly broke our agreement by claiming her beautiful lips only if that woman didn’t clear her throat,

Hem hem, don’t forget you are not alone,” she said amidst smiles and all eyes fell on us,

“Dem, send am go school and na this kind thing em dey do for motor, olodo,” another woman said mockingly and I wished I had a shell like a tortoise so I would just shrink in,

Olosho,” another one cursed in Yoruba tongue,

Thank goodness we’ve gotten to my resident, I will just leave them to continue

Owa, “I screamed in Yoruba dialect to the hearing of driver and he stopped,

See you later babe, I said to aishat and dashed out of the bus immediately,

Of course, I would have told her to come spend some time with me but I dare not say that when my day has already been ruined.

****
It was about 8 pm that evening, I lay comfortable on my bed, maintaining a supine position, and lost in thoughts, pondering about how my day went,

A knock came on my door and I jumped up happily, thinking that john one of my male buddies came to spend the night with me as he announced earlier,

I hurried to the door, opened it and did not even bother to check who was there, my whole conclusion was that it was John, so I meant to walk back to my bed when,

Are you not going to let me in,” the voice echoed,
I looked back immediately and felt sensations all over my body, am I dreaming or what, how is this possible, I rubbed across my face with the wrist and looked again but nothing changed,

There stood the elegant girl that sat close to me on the bus smiling s£ductively…
