After living Chelsea's mini restaurant/ shop , Lucas went straight to the office and met Dennis on his way to his office.
" Back from your meeting, so soon?" Dennis asked.
" Yes, I'm back and technically it wasn't a work meeting " Lucas told Dennis.
" Oh, you are slacking off now " Dennis tease him.
" No, I just had to go for this meeting today " Lucas told him.
" Okay, if you say so" Dennis said.
" You know you are my best friend right, well technically. I am your best friend " He told Dennis.
" I don't like where this is going " Dennis said to him, " What of Olufemi, he is my best friend too" He told Lucas.
" There are rules, you can't have two best friend" Lucas told Dennis, " That doesn't count because I knew you first " Lucas told him.
" If that makes you feel better, but it is remains that both of you are my best friend " Dennis told him, " What do you want?" He asked Lucas, " You only play the best friend game and bring out the card , when you want something " He added.
" That's not true. You are hurting my feelings " Lucas felt hurt.
" As if" Dennis told him.
" Who said I want something?" Lucas asked.
" Can't I tell you how much you mean to tell me or how much I mean to you?" He added.
" Well it is left for me to tell you how I feel for you and not the other way around " Dennis told him, " So what do you want?" He asked.
" Okay, I need a favour" Lucas reluctantly said, seeing as he was caught already and no need to continue the parade of pretending to praise Dennis for praising sake.
" Here we go again. What is the favour, I mean?" Dennis asked.
" Can you get me Chelsea's best friend Kevwe's number?" Lucas asked Dennis.
" You know Kevwe ?" Dennis asked, " How do you know her?" He added.
" Well you remember, I told you once I was going to get my groomsman suit and other wear made and fited by my sister's seamstress" He reminded Dennis.
" Yeah, the one that sews unisex wears" Dennis agreed.
" Well, Kevwe is that seamstress " Lucas told him.
" Wow, what a small world. What are the odds?" Dennis ask in surprise and wonderment at such a coincidence.
"And she was the one I told you I had a meeting with, at Chelsea's restaurant" Lucas informed Dennis.
" Did you know she was Chelsea's friend?" Dennis asked.
" No, I just found out today " Lucas replied.
" So if you met her today, why didn't you collect her number or better still how did you contact her today without her number? " Dennis asked suspiciously.
" Well for today's meeting, my sister gave me the location for our meeting and I met her with my sister before, but I didn't get her number then. And I have been hitting on her and if I asked her for her number, she wouldn't give it me and she will know instantly that I want to use it to ask out, if she haven't gotten the hint yet. I think she does. I gave her my complimentary card, although I had to force it into her hand and I'm sure she wouldn't call me, from the way she behaved throughout our interaction" Lucas confession in defeat.
" That bad!?"Dennis asked.
" Yes, that bad and she even thinks I'm too young for her" He told Dennis.
" You too young, how and why?" Dennis exclaimed.
" Well, unfortunately she is older than me with just one year" He replied.
" What's older about that?" Dennis asked.
" Ask me ?" Lucas asked.
" But you will agree whether one year or more years , a elder is an elder" Dennis told him in defeat too, getting Kevwe's point.
" Oh shut up, if Chelsea was older than you, will you even have a chance?" Lucas asked.
" Of course I might " Dennis replied.
" Thank God you said you might, and not that you will still have a chance with her " Lucas said to him," But I know how stubborn you are and I'm sure you will fight for both of you" He added.
" Yes , I will" Dennis agreed.
" So please can you get me Kevwe's phone number?" Lucas asked Dennis.
" Why should I?" Dennis asked pulling his legs.
" Well just because " Lucas replied, getting annoyed of his unnecessary question.
" Because of what?" Dennis asked again.
" Because I " NEED" it dummy " He shouted , putting emphases on the I need it, "And if you don't you will be putting our friendship on the line" He threatened.
" You will forgot our friendship for a phone number and a woman? " Dennis asked in outrage.
" Yes, so you see the magnitude of my need for the number " Lucas replied, " And point of correction , she isn't just any woman and I'm not just asking for just any number, but Kevwe's number. And if you don't understand it now , you would never get it or understand it " He told him.
" Don't tell me you like her to that extent, that you will willing give up our friendship of 19 years,that you always love bragging about?" Dennis asked in shocked.
" Wow shocker, who is counting and bragging about the friendship that you told me not quite long ago was not that much special, because you have two best friend " Lucas reminded him of his statement earlier about him having two best friend and Lucas felt a little bit bad when he said it, because Dennis was his only best friend among all his friends. Although he understood why Dennis said it, but that didn't stop it from hurting him, call him selfish if you want. Even though it hurt, Olufemi was a very good guy." And what if I like her?" He asked offended.
" I'm sorry for that, but it is what it is" Dennis replied, " But do you want to spoil things for me?" Dennis asked.
" I'm hurt you said that what do you even mean by that?" Lucas asked.
" Have you forgotten your playboy ways?" Dennis asked.
" I Have left all that behind me. I have changed and it has been years. I think she is the one " Lucas told him.
" You wish " Dennis said.
" I Mean it, please" Lucas begged.
" But I will have to ask Chelsea for her number" Dennis complain.
" And ....?" Lucas asked surprised.
" She will ask me what I need it for and I would want to tell her I want to give it to my playboy friend, who isn't serious about relationships and might break her best friends heart" Dennis answered.
" I feel offended that , that's how low you see me" Lucas replied.
" Sorry , what if she thinks I'm hitting on or want to hit on her friend?" Dennis asked him.
" Of course you will never, you are too faithful " Lucas commented.
" And that's bad?" Dennis asked angrily.
" No, it isn't. It is good thing " Lucas told him.
" I should learn something or two from you " He added.
" You should " Dennis replied proudly.
" Please will you collect her number for me?" Lucas pleaded.
" Okay, I will try" Dennis said surrendering to his request.
" Oh, thanks that's why you are my friend" Lucas said hugging him.
" Please stop that, eww" Dennis said pushing him away, " You are not my wife" He shouted at Lucas.
" Oh people that have wife" Lucas said sarcastically as he laughs, " See you later and to collect it, because I will call you and if you don't collect the phone number; I will continue to disturb you until you do and if that didn't work, I will tell Olu that you said I am your only best friend" Lucas threatened.
" When did I say that?" Dennis asked outrageously.
" You will know soon, bye for now " Lucas said , as he walks towards his own office.
" What have I gotten myself into" Dennis said to himself.
