LOOKING FOR THE GIRL I MET ON A FLIGHT Episode 1

It was two days to Valentine. I met a girl at the airport on my way to Enugu. We didn’t just share the same flight; we sat side by side as I kept stealing glances at her. She was so beautiful that my glimpse at her turned into a gaze. I just couldn’t resist the urge to look at her beautiful face. She reminded me of my ex-girl who’s beautiful but deadly boring. Honestly, without mincing words, Nkechi was as dull as ditchwater. All she knows was 'every time wire me money'. Since I ended that relationship a year ago, I’ve been reluctant to start a new one.

As Cupid, Fate or whatever you believe in, would have it, there I was two days ago staring at a face that reminded me of my boring girl friend. I thought for a while, as something within me kept saying ‘Talk to her; talk to her.’ Without having need for urination, I stood up from my seat, just before the flight took off, went into the convenience. Right there in the toilet, I stood in front of a mirror as I honed my ‘wooing’ skills.

When I came back, she was clutching a novel in her hand. I was startled because at first I had thought that she would be as dull as my ex. Heaven would have to fall before Nkechi would touch a novel with a six feet pole.
'It’s bad manners to be reading a novel in a plane,’ I said as I sat down.
‘What did you say?’ she asked.

‘Why would a girl who should be having a conversation with the coolest guy in the world be reading a novel?’
‘Don’t give yourself the delusions of grandeur.’ she said.
Are you serious? This girl na better grammarian o, I thought as I....

This is the true story of a friend. And, like I tell most of my friends, 'beware of what u say around me bcos u could be a character in my next story.'
