“Hello.” I know it’s not Jade right away.
“Hi, can I speak with Jade please?”
“Who’s calling?”
“Naseer.” She put the phone down and I hear her shout.
“Jadesola, there’s a Naseer on the phone for you can you pick up the phone by you?” I didn’t hear the response.
“She said you can call her line.”
“What’s the number?” she recites the number. I hang up and dial Jade’s direct line.
“Hello.” I exhale, relief washes over me at the sound of her voice. I’ve found my girl.
“Jade,” I breathe.
“Hi, Prince Naseer, how are you?” She’s giving me the cold shoulder over the phone.
“Not good, I’m missing you. Why did you leave without telling me?” I could hear her sigh.
“I was coming to tell you about my change of plans, you know what happened next.” She’s hurt, I can tell by the sound of her voice. I did that to her.
“I’m sorry you saw Nadra kissing me. I didn’t kiss her back.”
“No need to be sorry, I’m happy for you and Princess Nadra. I’m having fun here in Lagos, I’ve missed so many things and everyone is happy to have me back. I’ve gone to lots of places, hanging out with my friends is amazing ...”
“Jade, stop trying to change the subject,” I interrupt.
Silence. Silence. Silence. We could only hear each other’s breath.
“I am happy for you and Princess Nadra,” she says.
“I’m not with Nadra, I broke up with her before the accident and that hasn’t changed. I kicked her out after the last incident with you, I was sleeping when she came over and tried to wake me up by kissing me, which was when you walked in. I certainly didn’t kiss her back.” Silence. Silence.
“Jade, talk to me, please” I plead.
“I don’t have anything to say, and I don’t know if I’ll be coming back to Rhanaz, my aunty already asked for my transcript. My mom’s best friend wants me to stay here with her family and my aunty thinks I might be better off in the US. Right now, I don’t know anything about my future. It’s best you and I stop speaking because we may never see each other again.”
“Don’t say that.”PleaseI want to beg.
“I’m telling you the truth.”
“I know you are. I just don’t like it; can we agree to keep speaking while the adults are deciding where you are headed?”
“Okay.”
“I saw the pictures you sent to Taimani, looks like the wedding was lots of fun.”
“Yes, it was. Tito and I had so much fun with friends. Shola the bride is still on her honeymoon in Zanzibar” I hear the excitement in her voice.
“Cool, what have you been doing in Lagos.”
“Nothing much, catching up with friends and hanging out a lot.”
“Sounds like a good time.”
“Yes, it is.”
