CAMARADERIE TROUBLES

CHAPTER 13

The days flipped like pages. The anticipated trip by the two lovebirds was in a week time. Being a

master strategist, Amanda was perfect with her plans. She was subtle and foxy as she planned to

make sure Bimbo payed the fiddler in full price. Settling feuds and differences with her, she became

closer to Bimbo than ever before. Bimbo in turn reciprocated the love. They showered each other with

gifts and expensive treats. The 'intimacy' was surreal. However, Amanda had her hidden motives. She

disguised with so much mastery like a wolf in sheep clothing so as to 'leave no traces' like she said.

Money wasn't a problem, so purchasing some kilos of cocaine wasn't a big deal either. Amanda

planned to stash some wraps of it into a gift Bimbo would naively carry aboard at the airport.

"She would be caught and arrested for drug smuggling at the checkpoint. That's years in jail. That

bastard will definitely not escape this. She would chew more than she bargained for. Lowlife bitch!" She

said.

Amanda ordered a new bonbon collection Richard Mille wristwatch at a whopping price from an

international online market. She cared less about the cost and aimed at the goal she wanted to achieve

through it. She needed something enticing, something jaw-dropping, something unrejectable.

"Babe guess how much I ordered this from AliExpress?" She asked Bimbo as she scrolled her phone

through the webpage of the ordered item.

"OMG!! RM 69! This costs a fortune. Wow, I don't know how much, but it's definitely gonna be

expensive."

"I got this for you.. imagine how nice it would be to pose in a picture at the Bahamas wearing this."

"Wait, you are kidding right?" Her mouth quirked in humour.

"Nah, I'm for real. You've been a great friend friend and such a darling. It's because of you and the

others I can now afford stuff like this."

"Awww.. thank you so much Mandy. This is amazing."

"DHL is gonna deliver the package on Wednesday. I did a pay-before-delivery. You guys are going on

Friday right?"

"Yeah, sure Friday. Can't wait to get this," Bimbo threw her hands in the air, she was ecstatic.

"Wait till package it beautifully for you buddy," Amanda winked.

"But one more thing.. Promise you're not gonna loosen the ribbon, unwrap or open the parcel till you

are abroad."

Bimbo laughed. "Okay oo. Well, that's a simple instruction. Mtcheew, easy request. Trust me girl, I'd

only open it the very night we get there,"

"Deal," they gave each other a high five.

Bimbo woke up ecstatic. It was D-Day - travel day. Her round face beamed with smiles that morning.

Finally, it was a dream come true.

She had fantasied and has beautiful dreams about her trip to "paradise". She even woke up at 2:00am,

walked to her bedside desktop system and googled images of the Bahamas. She loved the scenery,

she couldn't wait to see it in reality.

She already bought some 'killer' dresses and an expensive Nikon camera hoping to slay in pictures and

serve it hot hot to her followers on Instagram. She would also unveil the wristwatch the following night

as promised. This was definitely one of the most exciting moments of her entire life. Her sense of

imagination was so hyper and her envisioning was something else. Her friends - Folashade, Amanda,

Halima et al would comment "It's plenty" a million times on her about-to-be-posted pictures.

Solomon and Bimbo held hands after they alighted from an escalator at a big international airport,

having returned from the ticketing counter.

"Our flight is scheduled around12:00pm or so, I checked the delivery timelines. Within twelve hours or

less we should arrive at our destination," Solomon said, they headed towards the departure concourse

at the first floor. They walked briskly admist the huge crowd walking to and fro.

"Whatever time baby, no matter how long. As long as I gatt you. Thanks so much baby, like thanks so

so much. Can't thank you enough for this my heartrob," leaning her head on his shoulder, they crossed

arms.

"Don't mention bae, you mean the world to me. From the very moment I met you, I knew you are my

grasping breathe when I'm drowning. You are the Nutella in my sandwich. You are the petals in my rose

flower. You are the petals on my rose. You are the icing on my cake, the Bonnie to my Clyde. You are

..the,"

"Hee-iey honey," she burst into a fit of laughter.

"I'm flattered already. I don't think my head can swell any bigger. I'm flambergasted by your praises.

You are one of the rarest gems I know."

They kissed.

"Ever seen a diamond encrusted Richard Mille watch before?" She tried reach at her luggage.

"What? Never. That shit is expensive, like really expensive. More expensive than some people's total

lifetime earnings. I've seen in pictures though, never seen one in real life," he replied.

"How about seeing one now? I mean right now."

"Are you for real? Seriously?" He grimaced.

"Yes dear," she smiled.

"And how did you get that kinda money to get that? I doubt if I can afford that. I can actually. But why

would I spend such money on just a watch? I mean, my hard earned money."

Bimbo laughed, she zipped her trunk open, dipped a hand into it and pulled out a beautiful wrapped

parcel.

"Here," she chuckled, handling over the parcel to Solomon.

"Gifted to me by a friend - One of my closest dawgs," she added.

"This your friend got money. Like moneeeey," he said with bulging eyeballs.

Solomon was about to loosen the ribbon tied around it but was stopped by Bimbo.

"Hayy, I promised her not to unwrap that till we make it there. Besides, wanna do a video while

unwrapping and post it online to blow minds. I hope you understand," she said.

"It's fine. Nice plan you came up with.. but"

Solomon kissed the parcel. He cherished it so much and wished it was his.

"Can I have this with me for the time being during the flight? There's a spirit attracting me to this," he

giggled. He held the parcel dearly to his chest, same way he held Selena's framed picture.

"That's the least of problems. Whatever I have is yours and whatever you've got is mine. You can keep

that in your brief,"

He did..
