It had been a month since the incident with Temi at the school library. Jimi and Kayode were about to go chill out for the night at Seismic Lounge and Bar, with their course mate Daisy when Kayode's phone chirped. It was a message from Temi; Kayode quickly opened it and with a worried look on his face announced, she needs my help. Who needs your help? Daisy asked. Kayode hesitated to answer and Jimi got the hint, with a ball of anger raging in him, he walked away, disappointed in the fact that his friend after all that time still hadn't gotten over Temi.

Kayode entered his car and drove off towards the location sent to him by Temi, while disappointed and embarrassed, Daisy headed home. It wasn't long before Kayode arrived at the Jailand Hotel, hoping to come be the knight in shining armour for the crush of his life ( if only he knew ).
As he made to enter the lobby through the front door, it rained on him, Temi standing on the second floor rained wine on him and out of nowhere people popped out laughing, pointing and taking photographs of him. When he could manage to wipe it off his face and look up, he saw Femi passing quite a few bunches of banknotes to her, obviously her reward for quite the show.
Humiliated for life, kayode turned to head for his car, and on getting there realized he had multiple flat tires and a damaged windshield at the back. Unsure of the best line of action, he just kept walking, hoping to get as far from this mess as possible. After five minutes of walking, a car rolled by and in there was his friend Jimi who had come to pick him up. Fearing the words that he expected from Jimi, he kept walking away and Jimi came from behind him ' cut it out, enough man, get in the darn vehicle, you are trending on all social media platforms and every blog with more than two subscribers' he said. As he sat in the vehicle, Jimi looked at him, shook his head and said, "indeed love is blind".
"What do you mean you love him? What is wrong with you, can't you see he loves another? He doesn't even notice you? He has beautifully sister-zoned you. He will never look at you that way, so for goodness sake, get past him and give some reasonable guy a chance" Caudilia said. What about that scholar, ermm, what's his name again? Yes! Adeyemi, she continued. Abeg, forget that one, he's not my type, replied Daisy. Ok, madam bend down and select, na guys wey nor dey look you at all, na be your type. What does he have to offer you self, na you know oo.
Grrrrh grrrrh! Grrrrh grrrh, Dasiy's phone rang. Hello Kayode boo, how far na? You just forget your girl for one side. I have been busy these past two weeks, it's not like I meant to neglect you, Kayode replied. I called to apologize, again; for the way I ditched you guys the last time we were supposed to get together, and I want to make it up to you guys. What do you say to a evening at the Greenland water park, hmm? He continued. I don't know, do you plan on ditching us for your favorite girl, only to go get yourself humiliated again? She asked. Come on Daisy, don't take us back there. I needed a month worth of therapy to get over that incident, abeg. I promise no such thing will happen, he replied. Fine, as long as it's a weekend, count me in.
You are such a fool, you know. Why are you punishing yourself like this? He will never be into you and following him to a thousand outings won't change that. You're too good for him anyways, said Sarah as she walked out of the room.
That's it guys, how do you think the story ends? Do they get to make it to their planned weekend outing or does something spontaneous or tragic occur? You can drop your thoughts in the comment section. I hope you guys are not mad that the stories usually end like this, I promise I'll write one with a proper ending soon!
