Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 51

We woke up in the evening and

proceeded to take a stroll down

to Eke Market junction. I had

wanted us to walk side by side

but with a little space between

us just like a brother and sister

would but she kept giving me

‘close marking’ as we walked.

She locked my hand with hers

when we were a few meters to

the ever busy commercial area of

Agbani where many university

students usually converged. I

really don’t know how to

disengage myself from her

without raising suspicion from

her. It’s true that we just had sêx

but I don’t think that’s a

prerequisite for the public

display of affection. It was never

in my plans to establish an

emotional relationship with her. I

wanted our affair to be strictly

business-like which apparently

she does not understand.

.

We walked from the junction to

St Joseph Primary School and

then down to Wisdom Lodge

which is located at ESUT back

gate along Amuri road before we

turned back. I was praying

seriously for my coursemates not

to see us especially Olumide.

The guy has a way of describing

scenes and events to produce a

comical result. How am I going to

open my mouth and tell Olumide

that the young girl clinging unto

me is my lover? He would simply

smile, go back home, prepare

and then finish me in class next

week.

.

”Henry, make we go visit some of

your friends na abi you no get

friends?” Nasa asked from

nowhere.

”Hmmm, I no get much friends o.

Abi you wan make we visit Joe

and Zubi?” I cunningly replied in

defense.

She feigned anger but I was not

in the mood to look at

someone’s face. On our way back

we stopped at Old Park bus-stop

where we bought some fries

(yam, potatoe and plantain). We

later strolled back home.

We sat down in front of my

compound and ate the fries we

bought after which we went

inside and rested.

.

In the night we went together to

the kitchen and prepared some

food. My upbringing had

conditioned me to always stand

around the kitchen whenever

food was been prepared. Mum

usually passed some ‘eatables’

and ‘lickables’ to me whenever

am around during the

preparation even though I may

not be actively helping out.

We individually took our baths

after we finished eating. There

was no electricity so we just lay

on the bed. I remembered I had

not spoken to Ifeoma for some

days now so I excused myself

and went outside. I trekked quite

a distance before I finally got a

place where I bought MTN 100

Unit card. I called dialled Ifeoma’s

number and anxiously waited for

it to connect.

.

”Hello daddy, good evening”

Ifeoma greeted in a faint voice as

soon as she answered.

”How’re you my love? Am sorry if

I disturbed your sleep,” I replied

thinking my call must have

woken her from sleep.

”No daddy, am not feeling fine.

Am having fever and also

stomach problem. I have been

vomiting since yesterday,” she

explained.

.

It took quite a while before my

brain processed the last few

words of her statement. ”Wait a

sec! Did I just heard the word

vomiting? Hope dis gal never get

belle o! How can my

Reproduction interruptus fail me

na?” I thought with a pounding

heart.

”Hello daddy…”

I had already forgotten I was still

on the phone with someone. My

heart has raced to so many

unimaginables. I had already

started seeing big headed little

children running around me

shouting ‘dada, dada’.

”Baby am still here. So hope you

have taken some drugs?” I asked

even though I was yet to regain

my composure.

”Yea, I took some drugs. It’s how

I usually feel when am seeing my

flow,” she continued.

”wheeew, what a relief” I

exhaled.

”Eya, sorry eh. E go stop as you

don hear my voice,” I consoled

her.

We spoke for a few more

seconds before we said

goodbyes.

.

I returned to find Nasa sitting on

my plastic chair looking worried.

She asked where I had gone and

why I waisted much time. I told

her I needed to put across some

calls back home and so went to

buy recharge card. My

explanation relaxed her mind.

She told me to come to the bed

with her. I followed her like a

cow being led to the slaughter.

She waisted no time undressing

herself and finding her way

under the sheets.

”I bin think sey you wan make

we pray night prayer,” I teased.

”No be only night prayer. We go

do tarry night sef,” she replied

jokingly. I pulled down my short

and joined her under the sheets

where we had two hot sessions

of ‘you know na’.

We later slept in each others

arms…
