TWENTY-ONE
Iâm sitting in my seat with Grandmaâs bag on my lap as she heads to the back of the short queue waiting to talk to the pastor. The church service ran over by an hour but itâs finished now. This isnât my family church, which is very organized and starts and ends on time, but I go with Grandma to her church once in a while. Sheâs always complaining that sheâs the only one who doesnât have family that attends service. Basically, she guilt-trips me into visiting. Whenever I suggest she comes to mine, she screws up her face and says my pastor is too ânew ageâ. Grandmaâs church is made up mainly of Nigerians and Ghanaians, and I find the pastor and the congregation a little dramatic, but it can be quite fun.
I love the outfits. Everyone comes in their Sunday best, in their traditional attire, slyly competing with each other. I dress up more when I come to this church as Grandma doesnât think jeans are appropriate in the house of God. So today Iâm wearing this blue maxi dress as itâs the only thing I own thatâs not low cut and virtually touches the floor.
âHey, Eva.â A pretty woman with waist-length braids waves at me and I wave back. Thatâs Sadé, the young woman Grandma thinks would be a good wife for Dami, but after last night I feel a bit more protective of Amara.
Despite fish breath being an absolute turn-off, Amara left Saint and me to eat our tacos together in peace, and it was really nice hanging and chatting with him. He left when Dami texted that he was on his way home. I didnât need my brother ruining what had been a really fun day. Since last night, Saint and I have been texting back and forth and he suggested if I was free tonight we could continue our Game of Thrones marathon at his house, which Iâm down for. Somehow, our discovery that we both love GOT has seeped into our text conversations and now we only seem to communicate through Throne GIFs. His church service finished ages ago, so Iâve already got multiple GIFSs from him. I chuckle as I look through them.
Iâm just responding to Saintâs latest message when the Bad Bitches WhatsApp group goes off.

Empty house today and tomorrow. Sleepover? Maybe the last one before we go off to uni?
