Mary My Student

Episode 46

It was the fourth week that their examinations were finally over and one could take a breather.
She came to my apartment the following day and we were able to have a good feel of one another after a long while. Here she got the full story of what really transpired between me and Nancy

After I finished she looked sad for a moment, ” I feel for her, but I wish she had stayed at least she always keeps herself under control.”
” What do you mean by that?” I queried.
” The school has found her replacement who would arrive next week and this one is a clear opposite of Nancy, she’s more beautiful than her, more endowed and more aggressive, she’ll hide at nothing to let you know she wants you and this is going to be a tougher test for you. But I can count on you.

” How did you know?”
” Well I just felt it just the same way I did when Mary was about to set you up.”
” I would see how accurate is your prediction.”

” Well I have some good news.”
” What good news I asked without much interest.

” I won a lottery.” She said with a half smile.
” Wow congratulations, how much is it? Probably two hundred thousand.”
” No! more than that. It’s ten million Naira.”
I stared at her for a while and then burst out laughing. I didn’t recover from laughing when she said, ” and I’m going to give you half of it.” This got me laughing more and I could see the frown on her face.

“Who you fooling girl? I know that might be a dream but not just right of the bat.”
Her frown deepened and she said ” look I am serious, I am joking about as you’re thinking.”

” Like seriously?” I asked still amazed and she nodded before showing duplicate of the lottery ticket.

” Wow you are rich girl.” I commented with sincerity.

” So as I was saying, I’ll give you half of it so you can establish yourself while I am at the university. I know you wouldn’t give up teaching, but that is not a bother for me. You could invest it in something maybe open a supermarket or a high class boutique or whatever that would get you good money. So that when I’m back from my youth service we can get married and make our wedding as colourful as we would ever like.”
” That’s so nice of you my love. Thank you.”
” Your welcome, but the thank you wasn’t needed remember you are my heart.”
” So what gave you the idea of playing this particular one?”

” Well I just felt it and decided to do it and it went out well and another good news.”

” What?”
” I have won a scholarship too.”
” Oh my God, what’s behind all this luck?
” It just the hand of God and the fact that I am in love with you.”

” So what are you going to do with your money?”

” I’ll invest it but would keep a low profile wherever I am in order not to be a target for kidnappers and hoodlums.”
“That means you’ll never buy a car?”
Yea but I’ll get a motorcycle as a means of transportation. So how about you are you going to buy a new car?”

” No I think I’m gonna stick with my friend she has been with me through tough times.
” Loyalty would not kill you.”
We both laughed.

” Why not go to the bedroom and get something doing?” She suggested.
” Who would ever say no to that?”
