MELODY 4

The next weeks turned out to be so boring for Toke as Melody was no more around her, she struggled to get back to her former daily routine before she met Melody. Until she realized she needed a little bit of pleasure, she called her friend Aisha and told her that they should meet at their usual spot.
“You don’t look okay” said Aisha and Toke signed “what’s up?”
“It’s nothing really, I kind of miss Melody” Toke told her
“Melody of all people, you’re funny”
“Well, you wouldn’t understand” she sipped a little from her drink
“You know what I think, I think you don’t miss any Melody, you are just lonely, babe don’t you think you need a man? Come on now”
“Do you really want to bring that up again?”
“Why don’t you go out on a date, you need that kind of moment”
“Who says?…… even if I want to date, there’s no one available”
“Uche is”                       
“Who? Uche? Nah, that guy is such a juvenile”
“But he’s a good guy and he loves you”
“Well I don’t”
“That’s because you haven’t given him a chance, you have to give love a chance before you can actually feel it, trust me babes it’s the best feeling ever”
“Like I haven’t felt it before, you are just lucky that you have someone who can literally die for you”
“Yeah, I know that” Aisha laughed “but seriously Toke, just try Uche out, the guy is cute, has a good job, from a good home, most importantly he heads over heels for you, and what else would you possibly want in a man?”
“There’s more Aisha, although I agree that Uche loves me, but that’s not enough”
“That was why I suggested you give him a trial” She winked at Toke, so could look convincing.
While Toke was preparing to have a night rest, she recalled her conversation with Aisha, maybe it wouldn’t be a bad idea if I consider dating Uche, She thought, and just then her phone rang, surprisingly it was Uche, they had a brief conversation in which Toke informed him that she won’t mind having that date he has been wanting to have, he was glad and a day and the location was fixed.

It was a beautiful evening, both Uche and Toke were seated in restaurant, Toke seemed to be having a good time, as they ate and drank, Uche talked until he realized at some point that Toke was already getting bored of his company, he asked if she wanted to leave and she said yes as it was also getting late, he paid the bills and accompanied her to her car

“I just hope you won’t mind having a second date with me?” he asked her has he held her hands in silence of the night
“Sure, well maybe, I actually had a nice time and I won’t mind having another with you” Toke replied him and that made him smile
“I’m glad you did, I will call you to know when the next time would be”
“Alright…….so good night” she said, making an attempt to unlock the door of her car
“Good night” He moved closer to her and hugged her.
When she has drove pass him, she picked her phone to dial Aisha’s number, Aisha picked the call with a scream
“Relax now” Toke cautioned her
“I’ve been expecting your call all evening, what’s up, did you guys go somewhere else?”
“No we didn’t, I just left him at the restaurant”
“How was it? the whole dinner stuff”
“Well, not bad, it wasn’t how I thought it will be, I’m thinking of giving him a trial”
“Are you sure?”
“Yep, absolutely, I’ll to him about it when I get home, and we’d know the next step to take”
“Girl I’m so happy”
“Whatever, I’ll talk to you later, gat to go”
Toke reminisced on the whole event of that day as she drove all the way home.
