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…
