IF ANY ONE HAD TOLD ME I Would BE A DRIVER
Last year, if anyone had told me that I’d be a driver, I would have laughed at them
But look at me now, this is my 5th month as a lawyer in the morning and bolt driver at night
Economy choke so I had to put my Corolla to good use and everything was running smoothly
Nobody knew except my wife and my mechanic until one day my neighbor, Amarachi, who I don’t even talk to, ordered a ride and satan chose me!
I said satan cos God cannot forsake his children.
I usually don’t check names and even if I had, I wouldn’t have known it was her cos we’re not even close and her flat is the building opposite mine. I’m in No 34B and she’s in 36A.
I accepted cos the destination was actually my bus stop. I was excited when I saw the request as I just turned on the app after work.
I drove to the location and when I got there I called the number displayed on the app.
The voice was beautiful, so I waited and a few minutes later I saw Amarachi. The worst thing was that she came out with my own next door neighbor in 34B, Charles.
They both strolled out of the club and before I could escape and zoom off, Charles recognized my car and screamed my name
“Kings, Howfr, you too come club?”
Before I could reply, I saw Amarachi checking my car plate number and double checking her phone
“You know my Bolt driver?” She asked Charles
God pun!sh you there. I said in my mind. As if she hasn’t seen this car before on our street.
“Bolt driver?” Charles asked in confusion
Shame almost ki||ed me
I just smiled nervously and asked them to come in. They haven’t even sat the stup!d girl asked me to turn on the AC and reduce the music
I imagined different ways to off them on the drive home but my Christian upbringing wouldn’t allow me, so we sat quietly till we got to our gate
Charles wanted to pay but I told him not to worry that I usually do it to help people, not like I needed the money.
“My guy!” Charles hailed me. “You know what, you go carry me and my babe again this weekend go Lekki” he mentioned the club then he gave me bottle water and soft drink he bought along the way
Babe ke? So, Charles is already dating Amarachi. I smiled as I nodded and wished him dea+h in my mind. Carry you again, as your driver? Bascard!
I decided to make one more trip cos I needed money for fuel the next day since I just carried bad market. Luckily, as I ended their trip, I got another request.
I quickly checked the name before I’ll carry my landlord next or our security and his babe cos these days everybody dey order ride
