Happy Tuesday everyone!

Chudi: How is she?
Chidubem: Pretty good. Fully functional. Besides the memory loss -which works out in your favor- She’s a 90%
Chudi:Yes! I told you everything will be okay!
Chidubem: Husband? Really?
Chudi: Guy what was I supposed to you? You saw her! She looked like she was about to run out of here! I had to say something to stop her! How was I suppose to know she would faint?
Chidubem: I get it but husband? Why couldn’t you tell her your were the psychologist studying her case? What if she’s already married?
Chudi: She’s not! Besides if I did, she’d want to leave the first chance she got. At least this way I can keep here till the end of my research
Dubs shook his head as he made his way towards his car. I walked behind him silent. I didn’t care what I had to do to keep her here. I didn’t spend millions to just let her walk out once she was better. I am going to do it whatever it takes to get what I need.
Chidubem: She has questions
Chudi: Doesn’t every female?
Chidubem: She seems very smart. She wanted to know more about the accident and the extent of her injuries… She asked me how we knew each other. Guy, I don’t know about this your lie oo…
Chudi: Leave that to me. While you were examining here, I went on bellanaija and read some wedding stories. She’ll want to know how we met, how I purposed, trips we’ve taken together. Mushy shit like that. I got it covered.
Chidubem: So you’re sticking with this your lie?
Chudi: Yup. The lie stays!
Chidubem: What if you’re not her type?
Chudi: What? How?
Chidubem: Have you considered the fact that she may be married to someone else or that you may not be her cup of tea?
Chudi: I’m one of the most eligible bachelors in Lagos! Rich, handsome, great body, a doctor-
Chidubem: A PhD, that’s not the same thing
Chudi: A doctor, did I say RICH? What Naija girl wouldn’t want to be married to me?
Chidubem: Just leave me out of it. Okay? Lemme know if you need anything..
He got into his 2016 Range Rover. Started the engine and looked at me with a smile
Chidubem: To think just this morning, I was telling you to give up. I’m really happy for you man. Be good to her. Have a good night.
Chudi: Thanks man! For everything. Safe
I watched him leave and made my way back to the house. I know I should be nervous but seriously, the worst was over. She’s awake! To hell with Dubs and his what-ifs! All women are the same. Now all I have to do is tell her what she wants to hear until I complete my study and I’ll be home free.
I entered the house only to find the subject of my thoughts sitting in my living room with a very serious look on her face.
Her: “What was our first fight about?”
