Bisi's Bucket List

Meme do you think these customs are great Bisi said looking at the mirror, I won't lie, I feel so nervous, I just feel this is different, I hope Mr. Vincent is impressed, you know to whom much is given, much is expected Bisi said worriedly.

Bisi you are great at what you do you know that right? this music is in you, just relax, you have got this I said to Bisi holding her hands and looking into her eye, your custom is great. I added

Hi Bisi are you ready? Slim asked

Yes I am Bisi replied

It is time, let's go, Slim said.

Kill it! I shouted as Bisi and Slim walked out of the dressing room.

I looked in the mirror, adjusted my dress, and went into the bar to watch my B perform.

As I walked in I saw Mr. Vincent seated, I tried walking past to seat in a different direction.

Good evening Miss Muna, Mr. Vincent greeted, you can come to sit here, as he stood up to move the chair next to him

Good evening Mr. Vincent, thank you, I said.

You are welcome, you look beautiful Mr. Vincent said looking into my eye.

Thank you, you do not look bad yourself, I replied.

My dad told me you and Bisi are friends.

We are since we were teenagers. I responded

That's great and now you are managing her brand.

Yes, she's super talented.

I see, Do you want red or white wine? Mr.Vincent asked

Red wine is fine I answered.

Mr. Vincent called the waiter to get a bottle of red wine for the table as we watched Bisi's electrifying performance.

I cheered my B and sang along to the songs it was indeed amazing.

Bisi was finally done for the evening, we had finished packing up and waiting for our ride when Mr. Vincent drove by,

Hi, Bisi he said

Hi Mr. Vincent,

my dad told me you were a great Afrobeat singer, I expected more from you, given how highly he spoke of you, to be honest, I am not impressed by tonight's performance. I hope tomorrow's performance gets better, he added

Thank you, I will do my best she replied.

Do you want a ride?

No we both said

our ride will soon be here, thank you for asking I added.

Good night then.

Good night, sir, we echoed.

then he drove away, and almost immediately our ride pulled over.

as we entered the car and the driver started to drive, I felt so relieved that day one was over when Bisi started,

Meme I told you,

I immediately cut in, sshhh, you did great, but you can do better, it is your first time performing Afrobeat songs, I watched you and the crowd was wowed by your performance, but there is room for improvement. Do not doubt yourself you can certainly do this, I feel you and the band need to rehearse more.

You are right so at 10 am tomorrow rehearses will start call Slim to let the rest of the team know.

Right, I will send a message to him now. I said as I started typing the message.

Bisi clears her throat, I saw you she said looking at me, I saw the way you look at Vincent hmmm, I know you like him. What were you both talking about while I was singing, do not lie or try to change the subject.

Nothing I replied.

that can not be Bisi said, I saw you both she insisted

I just know he's hot and he certainly can't be in my league I replied

You can't say that Meme have you looked at yourself lately you are hot ( as she stressed the hot) no man can resist you.

abeg leave that thing I replied in Nigeria pidgin, I'm sure he's well traveled and he must have seen a lot hotter girls.

Well, I think he likes you Bisi said calmly looking at her phone

Thinker of the year, good night, I said as she steps down from the car.

Good night Meme, see you at 10 tomorrow and she heads to her door, and the driver continued to drive.

I began to think to myself, does he really like me like Bisi said, I began to fantasies in my head how about he asks me out for dinner, at an exotic restaurant on a date, will he ask me to be his girlfriend I asked my self loudly, I sighted but then again he's out of my league he's wealthy and from a famous family, can he even like a girl like me. Muna I said to myself, I will concentrate and be Bisi's Manager and that is what I should be concerned myself with.

The car pulled over at my door, I aligned and headed into my flat.

At 10 am on Saturday morning, I was at the venue of the rehearsal with the other team members waiting for Bisi. I picked up my phone and dialed her number, her phone was ringing but she was not answering, i tried again, and Doctor Kunle picked up,

Hello Muna,

Hello Doc,

where is Bisi?

Bisi is in the shower she said I should let you know that she will be with the team shortly, I will bring her to you ASAP Doctor Kunle replied.

Alright, see you two soon.

After an hour Bisi arrived with Doctor Kunle,

Muna is been awhile,

You are the busy Doctor I said smiling, as we hugged, how have you been?

I am okay, is so good to see you again

Yes, it is turning to Bisi, you are always late for rehearses,

I'm sorry busy replied.

I need to go now so you can do your rehearses Doctor Kunle said, and turning to Bisi I will see you later, you take care as they hugged.

Bye Muna he said

Bye Doctor Kunle I replied.

We both watched doctor kunle as he left before I turned to Bisi and said, he really cares about you, and you have been friend-zoning him for the longest why? if you ask me he is the best man for you, why not give him a chance?

You won't understand Bisi said calmly and walked towards the band, I am really so sorry for showing up late, I promise to keep to time next time. Shall we begin
