Chapter 11: Chapter 11

Michael Williams hurriedly entered the lecture hall, he had missed the previous lecture because of the hangover he had from drinking too much on the night of his birthday party and he is almost late for today’s lecture.

The lecture hall is filled with so many students already, he paused at the entrance and scanned through the little crowd seated in the lecture hall, then spotted George where he is sitting and went over to sit beside him.

“Hello George.” Michael said, extending his hand to give George a hand shake.

“Hey man, Mike you made it.” He replied and shook Michael’s hands, looking very serious like was only acquainted with him.

“What happened? I didn’t see you in school on Friday.” George asked Michael looking at him closely now. “Did something happen? Are you alright? Cause it is unlike you to skip classes.” He continued as he looked at him all over like now an inquisitive mum who thought something bad had happened to her son.

“Enough with the questions George,” Michael said, sneering at him because he took note of his facial expression and the way he started talking to him. “You set me up.” Michael added almost immediately, ignoring George’s questions as he adjusted himself on the seat.

“What! Set up!” George exclaimed but in a low tone. “How do you mean I set you up Mike, tell me what happened?” He asked almost immediately, this time with so much curiosity in his eyes. “I should have called at your place but couldn’t make it because I had rough nights over the weekend, you know how it is.” He continued still looking at Mike with so much curiosity in his eyes and pretended like he does not know what he was talking about.

“Don’t look at me that way George.” Michael said putting his bag down on the desk and bringing out his note book getting ready for the class. Knowing that George was trying to act innocent. He told him that he set him up not because he was angry about the way things turned out between him and Brenda but because of the way George did it.

“Mike I don’t understand what you are talking about,” George replied still in a low tone but this time a little anxious, peering into Michael’s eyes as he hoped that it did not turn out badly between him and Brenda recalling that Brenda told him that she would be understanding with Michael and he trusted that she would do as she had said she would.

“You’re a bad guy, as if you don’t know what you did.” Michael said looking at George skeptically, wondering how he could be acting like he does not know what he was talking about. “You set me up with that chick, Brenda.” He continued after a brief pause still looking at his friend who smiled and got rid of the anxiousness on his face.

“Oh, you mean that?” George asked raising his brows a little at Michael, with a smile at the corner of his lips.

“Yes, that George, that was a set up that I am talking about, how did you pull that off?.” Michael replied and asked with a smile at the corner of his lips too.

“Wasn’t that a good birthday present?” George asked winking his eyes at Michael this time, still smiling from the corner of his lips as he could see from the expression on his face that all went well between him and Brenda.

“Well, what can I say? I lack words to explain it man.” Michael replied with a broad smile on his face this time, especially as he recalled her note to him after he had woken up from his sleep.

“Tell me about it man, you enjoyed my present, it’s written all over you.” George said also smiling back at Michael, feeling happy with himself for doing that for Michael.

“No way, I can’t possibly tell you a thing like that, it’s private man.” Michael told George giving him a disgusting look and shaking his head at the same time in disagreement to his request.

“I’m serious, tell me everything Mike, from the beginning and please, please Mike, in details.” George pleaded, winking an eye to Michael.

“Get away you naughty guy, George you’re a bad guy, damn…” Michael replied, as he shook his head and smiled at the same time.

“You enjoyed it right?” George asked pulling him by the shoulder this time and smiling too, feeling excited for him as he knew that feeling after he had a good time with a girl.

“Anyways, thanks George, that birthday party was the best birthday party of my life, you even hired a DJ.” Michael said after a short pause with a serious face this time. “Thanks man really, I appreciate what you did for me.” He added giving George a quick hug.

“Yes Mike, anything for you.” George replied hugging him too in return.

“And that package or whatever you call it was spectacular, man that was a beauty, I’ve never felt so alive in my entire life.” Michael said as he adjusted himself back on his seat. “My God, is that how good having sex feels? Michael asked, not know when the words came out of his mouth.

“Wait! What?” George asked looking at Michael. “Are you being serious right now?” George asked as Michael made a face, he was too excited that he did not know when he spat the words out of his mouth.

“Oh my God!” George exclaimed. “Are you serious? You mean you’ve never done it before?” George asked again and Michael nodded rather coyly.

“Wow, woo…” George burst with excitement. “She’s your first?” He asked and Michael nodded feeling shyer this time and gestured to George for him to keep his tone down so that other students would not hear him.

George looked at him and said, “I can’t believe this, anyways welcome to the club man.” He told him and embraced him.

“And you know what?” Michael whispered into George ears.

“What?” George asked as his eyes widened with curiosity again.

“She left me a note with her phone number written on it.” Michael told George smiling sheepishly.

“Wow that means you did great on your first time, and you are going to tell me all about it in details.” George said feeling very much excited.

The lecture hall suddenly became quite as the lecturer walked into the lecture hall, the students who were doing one thing or the other as well as those having a discussion like George and Michael settled down as the lecturer began to speak.

“I’m going with you to your apartment after class today.” George whispered into Michaels ears, he seemed more interested in what went down between Brenda and Michael rather than what the lecturer is saying right now. “Come on man, for real?” Michael asked whispering back to him.

“Yes, for real man, for real.” George whispered back nodding his head slightly, they looked at each other and smiled.
