The butt dial saves the day
Sitting at the center chair of the living room in the house party. All the females dressed in modern styles and the males in flamboyant outfits. Lydia was with a glass of champagne sipping it slowly as she knew her gauge when it came to drinking alcohol then here came the celebrant Caesar coming in from the other entrance, Ceazer's eyes met with Lydia and she quickly looked away and as she wanted to look back, she saw almost ten ladies holding Caesar's hand and dragging him to the bar.
Lydia is not a party freak like that but she was invited by Caesar's parents, a kind new neighbor she has. Mr. Peter and Mrs. Peter were friendly and took her as a daughter since parking to distinct A block, North Alabama, where Lydia lives. The aged couple always mention their only son, who was in high school Ceazer, and they always tell her they would like her to meet him as they would like her to be friends with him, and that is what made Lydia come to the house party respecting the old couple's invitation.
Caesar, the lady's man who has everything a lady wants, and looking at how ladies troop after him confirmed her suspicion, and she doesn't like men of such attractive attention. Normally, looking at Ceazer for the first time, she likes what she sees, but she doesn't like competition, and that is what disqualifies Ceazer even if he walks up to her.
The party buzzes on with a bar filled with varieties of drinks, a buffet as dishes are lined up and songs played to perfect the entertainment.” He graduated with a first-class, “ she said, wondering how he made out to be the overall best student with attributes that will make anyone lose concentration to studies in an institution. He even bagged the prom king and the most populous in school as he was tagged as Mr Alabama in the institution, winning the contest and the face of the school.
Mr and Mrs Peter were so happy as they walked in full joy, knowing their son had made them proud and had made a name for himself, too. They walk up to Lydia, who quickly stands up and greets them with friendly hugs and kisses on the cheeks. While this is going on, Caesar keeps looking from afar, wondering where his parents know such a beautiful lady he has eyes for from the first time they saw each other.
Mr. and Mrs. Peter called their son, who walked straight up to them to get there. They introduced Caesar to Lydia, and they shook each other and couldn't get their eyes off each other. Mr. and Mrs. Peter noticed this, and they left them, saying they left something they ought to have brought while coming, and they left. Ceazer liked Lydia due to the fact that she has self-respect and just sticks to herself while other ladies glued him up everywhere apart from the ones that came with their mates.
Caesar told her he liked what he saw and wanted to know her better. She told him she leaves around and that his parents are very kind neighbors and hopes he has the traits of his parents, she said, teasing him.
Caesar told her that he lives in the South district of New Mexico in Alabama and that he would leave for his home as early as possible on the second day, and that is why he needed something to contact her. She gave him her number, and he dialed it to make sure it rang, told her to save it with Mr Alabama, and told her that he saved hers with My Lydia. He smirked, then he left, going back to his friends and other ladies. Lydia rounded up that he is a flirt, and that is how he overtures ladies with his charm, collects their contact and jumps from one lady to the other.
She went back to her seat to continue her drink, and then later, she left when the party was almost over. The second day, around 9 am, her phone rings, and she sees Mr Alabama. At first, she doesn't want to pick it, but she just picks it anyway, believing that he will want to throw overtures at her.
But as she picked, she just heard the sound of a moving car and heard her name then she noticed that it was a butt dial and had her name mentioned, she listened to know the motive behind Mr Alabama, Ceazer Peter.
She confirms that it was a discussion between Caesar and a friend called Kyle and it went like this;
The dialogue
Caesar: Kyle, I don't know what charm that lady Lydia put on me as I couldn't sleep over the night. Just thinking of her.
Kyle: Caesar, I am surprised as this is the first time a Lady will strike you as that. But you are a lady's man now; you will get over it and move on.
Caesar: Ladies, man, my foot so you believe all those things people say around while you know that I have not befriended any of those ladies even during pressure time in high school.“ How did you think I topped the school ranking as the overall best student”?
Kyle: I thought you were lying those days that you said you were not with Lisha, Betty, and Cindel even though they fought and constituted a nuisance in school.
Caesar: So you don't even know me, and you call me your friend; you don't even believe me when I tell you things. You are my friend only to spend my money and move around me for only the fame I have. Bro, that is unfair, but so far, you are honest with me. Now I am cool.
Kyle: I am sorry for that, but back to that lady Lydia, won't you give her a call?
Caesar: I see how she looked at me yesterday; she thought I am a womanizer, and I think if I call her, she will just find one reason or the other to push me away. She is a well-to-do lady, and I see money can't freak her as well. So Kyle, what do you think I should do?
Kyle: Let's go meet her as soon as possible. Turn the car towards North Alabama and let's give her a surprise visit. We will just pretend we left something at home and stay with Mummy and Daddy for some minutes; then we will ask for her apartment, and from there, we know what's next.
Caesar: That is cool bro. I am even thinking of that as well.
Immediately hearing all this, she knew that her suspicion was wrong, and she got set to await her visitor, knowing the fact that he had plans to stay and not to break her; she was less worried and did not cut the call as well.
Two hours later, she saw him from the window driving to his parents house. Parked and came out with his friend. He brought out his phone from his back pocket and said, “shit” I have been making calls for over three hours, he said to Kyle, and I have been calling Lydia unknowingly he concluded. Kyle collected his phone, looked at it in surprise, and said no worries, bro. It's no big deal. It is just a butt dial he concluded. They enter Mr and Mrs Peter's house, and after thirty minutes, Ceazer steps out, leaving Kyle indoors and moving directly towards Lydia's apartment. She was busy looking at all the scenes through her window and now it is time to take action.
She left the window and sat in the living room, and then the bell rang. She stood up and walked to the door and opened it at once. They kept looking at each other for like thirty seconds as she wondered how handsome he looked this morning and also he also wondered how beautiful she looked, much more than yesterday's view.
Come in, she said after the long gaze and recovering from unconscious to consciousness and it was even the sound that sent Ceazer too back to consciousness from being unconscious.
He entered, and she asked him to sit down and go to her bar, pick two glass cups with a bottle of Hennessy XO in particular, and offer him a cup, knowing he wanted to clear a burden out.
After a sip, he told her the same thing she had heard already through the butt dial on Caesar's phone, which stamps that his feelings haven't changed. Then she told him everything from her suspicion to the butt dial she received, which was unknown to him, the dialogue with Kyle, and their plans to come to her. She also told him that she liked him too, but she was scared because of his status and his charisma, after hearing everything on the phone to clarify her mind, it eased her fear, and she told him she didn't want her heart tampered with. They hugged and came out together to surprise Caesar's parents and Kyle. It went happily ever after because of the butt dial.

hello @oyebolu. This piece was rather difficult to read due to issues with punctuation. This could have been resolved by editing your story to identify issues with spelling, punctuation and grammar. In The Ink Well we expect our writers to produce quality submissions. This includes the need to proofread and edit before publishing. Curation would have been higher if you had done this.
Noted.
