Diary of an Addict

“I hope you liked when I did. I can do much more if you allow me. 1 4 3.”

Liked what you did? Are you kidding me? I was about deleting the message when the number “1 4 3″ caught my attention. What is “1 4 3″? With curiosity overwhelming my mind, I replied her message by simply saying, “Mary, what Is 1 4 3?” I sat on my bed waiting for a reply,which never came that day.

I didn’t even realise that I was sweating profusely eventhough I was sitting directly opposite a gigantic standing fan. I was savouring her beauty when I felt someone tapped my shoulder, “Bros, dem don dey call you since now.” The programme coordinator had been calling me to say the opening prayer but couldn’t hear him. My mind, my heart and all of my being was about Mary.

Hope say this girl no go kill me sha? I enthused
