Story: True Life Story Of An Addict

Femi, I was so lucky. I tried as much as possible to avoid him during and after class until he was transferred to Osun Campus. That was how I escaped.

Me: Very interesting! Are you now saying that you’ve never done IT? (Seriously guys, I don’t know how I managed to ask such a daunting question).

She gave me one wicked look and said,

Anita: Why did you ask such a question? That’s confidential you know?

Me: Yes, it is apologies. I shouldn’t have asked such a…

Anita: (She cuts in) Wait, wait. wait! Before you kill me with ‘I’m sorry’, let me ask you some questions: are you virgin too? Have you done IT? How many girls? When? Where? How? Tell me everything!

Too many questions with no sense of direction. I can’t even calculate the longitude and latitude of those questions. After looking so seriously serious, I coughed a little and said,

Me: You know that’s confidential too; but don’t worry, I’ll tell you.

(Mehn, I got to keep my good reputation ooo, atleast for the moment. So, I lied).

Me: I don’t have time for all those stuffs for now. I’m happily single but not searching. I’m fine as I am.

Anita: Hmmm. Same as me too. I don’t have time for any guy now. I want to get good grades and finish top of my class. You know that’s…

She had no chance to finish her sentence when Godwin’s call came through on Anita’s phone. He had promised to call later in the day. It was past 8 in the evening when he called. They both spoke at length. She was just laughing all through the call. After about 9mins or thereabout, she handed the phone to me, signaling the Godwin wanna talk to me too.

Godwin and I exchanged pleasantries. He asked how her sister is doing and I did well to calm his nerves. He begged me to fuel up hos generator so that her sister can be more comfortable. I agreed to do that right away. He thanked me and hunged up the call. I told Anita I need to quickly get to the filling station, that his brother had asked me to fuel up his generator for her comfort.

Anita declined. She siad I should use the money to fill up my generator instead. She said she want compnay, and my house will be ideal. Do I need say here that this girl is looking for something bigger than herself? No long thing? I obeyed.

Fast forward. 9pm, same day.

I switched on my generator immediately after I had filled up its tank. We went inside my apartment to relax and watch some films. She la!d on my chair while I played some of the new collections of films I purchased a week before. I played a film tilted, ‘The Girl Next Door.’ Wait ooooo before you crucify me. It was just coincidental. I had no prior motive of anything seedy.

We were just about 10mins into the film when she said she was hungry. She offered to go cook some indomie for both of us. I agreed. When she left, I paused the film to go take a shower for the night. I was in the room undressing myself when my phone rang from the parlour where I left it. I took a towel to cover up while I go to answer the caller. It was my younger brother, reminding me of his school fees and other family matters. We spoke for about 10mins. After the call, I left my towel on the chair and headed straight for the bathroom unclad…with my door unlocked! This felas, is the genesis of what I’ve been trying to avoid.

I took me 15mins overall cos I had to defecate too. It was when I finished showering that I remembered that I left my towel on the chair. Since I was the only inside that moment, I felt free to walk around my own house unclad.

I came out of the bathroom unclad to pick up my towel when suddenly, Anita flung my door open with a tray of our food in her hand. She saw me fully unclad cos I was nowhere near my towel. We gazed at each other for about 10secs before I was able to move towards my towel and cover up. I could see a sign of smile on her face but she never utter a word. Guys, Anita saw damn everything!

Throughout the movie and eating, we didn’t say a word to each other. Even when she needed water, she only gestured with her hand. I was confused. I hope she’s not thinking I did it on purpose? What have I done now? I just ruined all I’ve been trying to preserve. Chai! What would she be thing now? That I tried to s£duce her? Different thoughts flooded my mind until she tapped the table and said,

Anita: I’m feeling sleepy. Can I sleep here atleast for another 2hrs before going inside?

Me: (Speaking like a China Doll) Yes sure. You’re free.

I excused her while she lay comfortably on the chair. Then, I turned off the TV and played some collections of R&B Songs, a lullaby to make her sleep. She thanked me for it while I make my way to my room. I felt so ashamed of myself that night. I couldn’t sleep. I was just imagining what would be going on in her mind. Suddenly she knocked on the door of my room,

Anita: It’s 12midnight Femi, I’m going inside. See you tomorrow. Don’t forget to switch off the generator. Goodnight.

Me: Goodnight Anita…

What a day! What a day!
