TITLE: Dinner Party EPISODE: 1 *A short but True-Life story I actually spent an hour cleaning my shoe like my life depended on it. I had ironed my last xmas polo and my well-starched pens trousers the previous day. I was definitely going to get a lot of attention tomorrow at the DLCF dinner party. I remember the last dinner party i attended. The moment i heard the invitation from olus mouth,i shouted dinner party!.On the day of the dinner party,i embarked on a partial food strike. I was ready to baptised myself with food at the party.True to my expectations,there were lots of food on the tables.It was like a lovefeast but i couldnt enter.Where everyone where dressed smart in tux and dinner gowns,i was wearing a three-year old school native plus i was without a date. This time i was ready for them.I even planned to mix three wicked perfumes.i got a shade;even though it was a night event and my allstars was ever ready.I almost forgot one last thing;a date!.. Who would that be?...... I stared long at the caption DLCF DINNER PARTY on the card as i contemplated on who to take as my date.What the hell was DLCF by the way?i never really asked Ayo what it meant cos i didnt think it mattered.Anyways,the issue at hand was getting an apt date for the party.I had a couple of persons i could call but didnt know who to call precisely. There was Marrissa;my ex.Classy,stylish and a little too much for my taste but that wouldnt be a problem in this case,afterall it was just a party. Then there was Marbel,the girl i probably would have hated but for her beauty.She was a pest in my life and i feared that inviting her to the party would give her some crazy ideas and re-ignite her silly advances,otherwise she was my first choice. Finally,there was Mary.pretty,gentle,intelligent but lacked the sense of dressing where it mattered most.To be frank,i wouldnt want to go with her.Imagine myself,well dressed in a dinner party with a francesca nun.Dont let me say God forbid. I picked up my phone and dialled marrissas number.Hello!... i heard that pretty voice i have missed. I swear,i almost said lets get back together.It must have taken me a while to find myself back as i heard her say Hello again,like a frustrated person. Hi marris i said,like the network had been badcan you hear me now? yeah i canthe sweetness was getting deeper. whats up? nothing much.Just havent heard from you for sometime now.was wondering how you were doin liar! aww...thats sweet.Thanksshe responded like she meant it. anyway,where are you at?i asked smoothly. In lag gangan! Dont know why but i felt devastated.she was my best option and now she was more than four hours plus lots of terrible roads away from the university of Benin. I had to move past my disappointment as the party was just the next day.Now i just had one last option;Marbel and it was certain she was going to say yes if i let her.What other choice do i?i had to. marbel hi i said into my phone like someone forced me to. Johnson! she screamed and i almost cutoff the call.you remembered me today.what happened?where are you?i want to see you.Aww,its so unfortunate that am not in Benin right now what! Her last words hit me like a rock and that moment,i felt like Buhari must have felt when the last election results were called.I was going to go dateless? WATCHOUT FOR EPISODE 2
