Untold Story of Me: Episode Seven (Tomisin My Guy)

TOMISIN MY GUY

It was 1:16pm on a fine Saturday afternoon; I was on the queue at the bus station. The next BRT bus was just arriving when a call came in. “Hey guy! Where are you now? I’m almost at the mall” the person at the other end of the phone spoke.

“Guy, no vex, I just dey enter bus. I’ll be with you in fifteen mins” I replied.

About twenty minutes there about, I was at the entrance of the mall meeting with my date. We walked into the mall and headed straight for the cinema, bought our tickets and headed for the cinema hall. We got the best seats at the back, we were on time. It was about 10 minutes before our movie started. While we bought our tickets we also got popcorn and drinks.

“That movie was so interesting, that boy na goat sha. He should not have left her in the first place. But I’m happy they got back in the end” I said. “Mtcheew! Nonsense, she should not have taken him back. Or at least, she’s should have shown him pepper small” my date replied. We were bickering over the movie we had just seen. It was a romance comedy. “Let’s go to the food court and get something to eat, I’m hungry” I told my date.

We’ve been saving for several weeks just so that we could hangout today. Our main purpose for saving was so that we could eat as much as possible. We wanted to eat to our heart’s content. The movie was just an extra activity. I mean, you can’t stop by the mall and not see a movie. We headed to the first eatery and went to the counter to place our orders.

“What are we eating first today?” My date asked.

“Let’s eat chicken and chips,

let’s start with something light and then we’ll end it with sweets” I told her. “hmm! Okay”

We placed our order for two plates of grilled chicken and chips and two bottles of sprite and then went ahead to sit down. While we waited for our food to come we made fun of people and couples that passed.

“Look at that one’s head, I’m sure that girl is with him because he has money” … “Ahan! This your mouth! But truly, that girl is too fine for the man”.

“OMG! Guy guy! See that fine boy. Don’t stare for too long”… “Hey gosh! God when?! See fine man!”…

We kept at it like this for a couple of minutes until our waiter came to our table with our food. He was about 6″3, caramel skinned, dimpled with nicely cut hair. “Your food ma” he said to us. “Thank you very much” we both said in unison. He nodded and left. “Jesus is Lord! This world is a wicked place o! How can a fine boy like this be working as a waiter?”. I could not say anything, I just burst into Laughter. People will say “You too like man”, they’ve not met this one. I was laughing really hard, not at what she said but how she said it. She was so dramatic, a serious drama queen.

“Why are you laughing, better eat your food. Or you’re not hungry again? ” she said as she stole one piece of chips from my plate. “Ole! I’ll stab you with this knife if you touch my food again ” I said to her. We both chuckled and proceeded to eat our food.

The food was really nice, and after settling our bill, we went to a dessert court and the sweet, flavourful aroma of cakes, donuts and ice cream hit us from the entrance.

“Dayum! This is what I’m taking about” I said, drooling. “I’m going to kill myself with sugar today”. “Better take it easy, foodie.” She replied, chuckling. We got to the counter and met a beautiful, slender attendant. She looked like she’d be in her early twenties. “Hi, good day, what can we offer you? We have glazed donuts, jam and chocolate filled donuts, cup cakes, muffins, fudge and chocolate chipped cakes. We also have a variety of flavored Ice creams, cones, cups and plates. Which would you like?” the attendant said all these things like a programmed robot. “Wooww! ” I exclaimed.

“I’d like a jam filled donut, a fudge and chocolate chip cake, and a cup of vanilla and chocolate ice cream. Thank you ” I ordered. “I want the same thing but a strawberry ice-cream instead. Thanks”. My date also ordered. We waited and got our orders, paid and went ahead to look for a table to sit. We sat down, and I was about to dig in when I woke up…

I blinked twice and realized I had been dreaming, a sweet dream. A dream that I want so bad to happen. My date was Tomisin…
