AFTER ALL THESE YEARS Episode 17

....Three weeks later, we were having our usual chat on phone when he informed me that Mr Mike has gotten an accommodation for him on the island.

That’s good, I was about to ask you about the accommodation since you are coming back next week I said Mr Mike just informed me today, so he suggested that I should tell you to come check the place out before he pays. Ooo.Whats my own business in this now I thought.

It was as if he knew what was going on in my mind. I really don’t want to bother you but Mr Mike insisted. He said if you like it, then I’ll definitely like it and I think he’s right

You guys are silly, infact that Mr Mike is something else, where did he get that philosophy from, that you’ll like whatever I like

You can ask him that when you see him he said laughing. He’ll pick you up on Saturday, so you could go together

So you guys have already planned my weekend for me and who told you I’ll be free on Saturday

I know you are, if you are not, I would have known by now

Now he’s right, if I’m not free he would know because we talk about everything which includes our schedules for the week.

He’ll also take you to see an interior decorator, so you can choose everything that’s needed for the interior decoration.

Henry, how on earth do you want me to know your taste?

I trust your judgment; I just want a beautiful home

I’ll try my best

He’ll take you to my office, although we already arranged that before I...

left Nigeria. He will just show you around

What about your staff

Yea, we gave the contract to a recruiting firm, the qualified applicants has been selected but I’ll be the one to conduct the final interview

Good, everything is in place then I said

Except for the accommodation and that depends solely on you

Don’t worry we still have one week, well put that in place before your arrival

I trust you, thanks dear

Don’t thank me yet, you can thank me later

If you say so he said smiling.

I’ll call Mr Mike I said yawning.

You are feeling sleepy already, lets sing you to sleep he said

Smiling You want to sing me a song

Yep!

Wow!

I have a good voice you know

I’ll be the judge for that

Can I sing now?

Yes, I think I’d love that, so go ahead let’s hear you sing

I’m only one call her away,

I’ll be there to save the day

Superman got nothing on me,

I’m only one call away

I joined him in singing.

So when you’re weak, I’ll be strong

I’m only one call away

I drop my tab on my lap and gave him a round of applause.

Your voice is so sweet

Thank you

That was a nice cover of Charlie Puth's song I said

Thanks, I can sing for you everyday if you want

I won’t mind I said jokingly.

Let me release you, so you can sleep

Ok, byeeee

Bye, sweet dreams

I place my phone against the wall on my bed, with my face opposite the screen.

Won’t you end the call I said when I noticed he’s still on the screen.

Go ahead and sleep, I want to watch you sleep

I won’t be comfortable with that, in fact I won’t be able to sleep if I know that I’m been watched

 That’s not fair

You know what I’ll help you, bye I said and disconnected the call.

I smiled. This guy is so sweet

I’m very sure I slept with a smile on my face.
