Chapter Seventeen

Concession

Ella

“That’s the fifth time Kofi has called me in two hours, Ella.

I cannot misdirect him forever. There are only so many ways to tell a man like my cousin to get lost. The best way is directly, and that, my dear, must come from you.”

Adom looks at me through the camera of his computer with his signature countenance of severity.

It’s been one week since I left Kofi’s secluded home, Bonbiri. I miss him, but I’m too furious to do anything about it. My new hotel suite opens up to an amazing view of Labadi Beach—it’s no Bonbiri, but the views of the Gold Coast are breathtaking. Currently, I’m taking in the view from a lounge chair poolside as Adom and I Facetime.

He’s been a saint, alternating between accepting and ignoring the many calls from Kofi over the past week. I have ignored twice as many, if not more. His constant calling is ridiculous. I don’t know what he plans to say. After the way he talked to me, I’m not interested in anything but a business relationship. He already told me I’ve secured the contract to build Revolution Academy schools in Kumasi and surrounding villages. I can afford to ignore him one more day before I’m forced to interact with him during final village visits. With rigorous scheduling, I can complete those in the 13 days I have left here.

Yesterday, Adom called me to tell me that Maya was out of her coma and ready to talk. It felt good to hear her voice even if it was weak. She made me promise to stay and finish our school implementation plans. She still couldn’t believe that Adom was with her when she woke up. It was unreal to her that he traveled home just to be by her side. It is so unlike him. I felt like his presence meant more to her than mine. I think I always knew her heart belonged to him. He is just too foolish to take care of it for her. I’m still not convinced he will ever be cured of his foolishness. He’s too tightly wound to let go and love. However, time will tell. All that matters right now is that he’s keeping her happy and safe.

I motion for the passing waiter to refill my mojito and move in closer to the screen to speak. “I know I can’t dodge him forever, Adom. I simply have no motivation to deal with him until I absolutely have to. I can complete village visits and planning with him over the next two weeks before I leave. Right now, I want to spend my weekend enjoying the beach I was booked to stay at all along.” A slight smile reluctantly comes to my lips when I think back to the clever way Kofi hijacked my lodging plans. Up until seven days ago, I was glad he did so. Seven days ago, I thought I might be falling in love.

Now, I know what I’ve always known: love is for fools.
