I like her a lot. She is so beautiful and  she doesn't like taking pictures, so I always force her to snap on my phone." Sade says and I respond to her  with "oh" as if I am not interested and she continues watching her show. Curiosity got over me and I want to see her in person. I want to see her unique eyes. I have never seen this kind of eye in all my life. I want to see if the eyes are that beautiful in person. I want to check if she is as beautiful in person as she is in pictures. 

I don't want to ask Sade any other thing about the girl  to avoid being suspicious so I keep my thoughts to myself. I give her the phone and I stand up.

" Off the TV and the light when you are leaving. I am going to the music room and I might sleep there". I say and she nods. I take my cigarette and I leave.

When I get to my music room, I light  cigarette again and put it in my mouth. My mind goes to the pictures again and  I take my phone out of my pocket, I log onto my WhatsApp and I view Sade's status to check the picture again. I put the cigarette in my mouth and I take another puff. I view the pictures over and over again. The more I look at it , the more I want to see her. I force myself to close the app and I open my Twitter.

I check the trending list and I saw the  #Fresho to the world. I open the hashtag and I see that my  Fans are celebrating my new single. I retweet  some of the tweets and I like some.

I finish my cigarette and  I start recording. When I am done recording, I check the time and it is almost 12 in the midnight.  I am not sleepy yet so I walked to my bedroom and lay in my bed. I crave alcohol but I stand up and drink water instead. I don't want to wake up with a puffy face and hangover. Because I have a photoshoot in the morning. I get back to my bed and I fall asleep almost immediately.

It is a cloudy evening, so I leave my room with a cigarette in my hand. I want to take a walk around our compound. I see this girl, the girl whose picture I saw on Sade's phone. She stands in front of me smiling. What is this girl doing in my house? I move closer to her but she moves back.  It is like she doesn't want me to get close to her but she is still smiling at me. I stop moving and she stops too. I ask her what her name is but instead of her talking, she keeps smiling at me. I am wondering why she is smiling beautifully at me when she will not allow me to reach her or tell me her name. A knock on my door wakes me up and I realize It was dreaming.

      I groan while I gather myself together to get  the door. "Who is there"? I say before I open the door.

"Tunde". He says and I open the door.

"You are early today" I said and he frown,

" Don't tell me I am the one that wakes you up? This is after 7am and you said I am early? Did you forget you have a photoshoot this morning? You need to get ready before 8:45. I will wait for you in the sitting room downstairs". He opens the door and dash out angrily.

I don't know why he is angry. We have a contract signing and photoshoot appointment at 9am and it is 7:05am.  I go back to my room and sit on my bed. I am the one that is supposed to get angry, he wakes me up from my dream, from the beautiful smile. But the reason why I dreamt about her is unknown to me. I have never met her before, I just saw her picture on Sade's phone and that was all. My curiosity increases about how she will look in person. Will she be more beautiful? What's her name and where is she from? And above all, I keep trying to brush her thoughts away from my mind since yesterday and here I am again, thinking about her. 

I take my bath, put my dress on and brush my hair. I get to the living room at 8:30 and I see how relieved Tunde is when he sees me. "Let's go" , I say and we walk to the car.

The photoshoot and renewal of contract  is for Moderate Bank. Moderate Bank is one of the most popular and the best banks in Nigeria and I am one of their ambassadors. My contract with them expired last month and the  photoshoot is for their new brand advert. On getting there, The bank manager and the staff are all waiting for me at the entrance. My fans are their too, shouting and rushing me for an autograph and photograph. When we are done with them, we go straight to the manager's office and he puts the new contract on my table for signing. I sign it and we stand up to shake each other. When we get to the fashion session, the stylist, makeup artist, photographer and their assistants are all ready and they get to work immediately.

After the photoshoot, the stylist comes to me and she gives me her card. I collect it and she says, " It was a pleasure meeting you. I hope I will get a chance to work  with you in the future".

"It's  my pleasure". I say.

From the bank, we go straight to the office to prepare for tonight’s show rehearsal. I established my own record label, Freshy Entertainment in march 2018 after working with Balogun Empire Entertainment for two years. I established it because I don't want to work under any company and I want to give the  up and coming artists a platform to showcase their talent. And right now the company is managing three successful musicians including me.

" One of your  so-called girlfriends called when you were in the bank manager's office". Tunde says.

" Ehn Ehn, who among them? what's her name?" I ask.

"I didn't ask her and you don't save her number. " Tunde says,

" What did she say?" I ask

"She told me to pass the phone to you, that she is your girlfriend." Tunde says and I giggle. My girlfriend? Do I even have one? None of them is my girlfriend. I never had one. Friends with benefits, that's what we are. They enjoy my money and they give their body in return. They mean no shit to me.

"Block her number and block her in all my social media platforms," I say and I walk out of the office.  Who the hell does she think she is to call herself my girlfriend? I do tell them clearly that I don't do love. That shit is not in my dictionary. Anyone that starts loving up is done with me and nothing more.
