Celine chewed her chin chin loudly on purpose to drown out all the incessant fawning from Bimpe who had being talking on the phone for long hours and disrupting her quiet time. She was obviously talking to King, he was the one with sweet words that always swept her off her feet, there was Segun the alpha male that said a few words and spoke only through credit alerts and nocturnal visits, there was also Pastor Isaiah who made it his mission to win Celine's soul everytime he saw her like God told him in a vision she was heading straight to hell and it was his duty to stop her. For the longest there had being Jason, he was Celine's favourite and Bimpe's obvious choice, they had been together for over 2 years or 27 months as Bimpe always annoyingly insisted. They met after Bimpe was jilted by one of her previous lovers and the rest is history and a striving relationship. 


Celine never asked Bimpe why she kept the company of several men at a time, not because she didn't want to know but rather because she knew Bimpe would never tell her, they were merely acquaintances who had a cordial relationship cohabiting together, even though Bimpe claimed she had forgiven Celine for having an affair with one of her exes, their friendship was still stilted with the tension because Celine didn't think she did much wrong, Bimpe had many toys, she'd merely borrowed one to play with. Her actions led Bimpe to cry an oceans worth of tears on Jason's arms and those tears watered the ground for their love to grow, in her eyes she deserved a bit of credit, they would have never dated if it weren't for her promiscuity. But it was all water under the bridge, maybe next time she would consider asking before messing around with one of Bimpe's men, or maybe not.


Celine was snapped out of her thoughts by the silence, it seemed finally King had run out of words to flatter Bimpe with and the phone call was over. Celine listened with faux interest as Bimpe narrated every adjective King used to classify her, she could not believe Bimpe was yet to see through King's washed up lines. 


Celine's phone beeped with a text that read "See you in the next hour babe, wear the beige lingerie I got you" she excused herself to use the toilet, pulled her top over her head and took a picture, captioned it "I am already wearing it, can't wait to see you xoxo" and sent it to Jason.
