Bukky - S01 E07

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 7

Gbemiga walked towards the backyard. There was light off

and the compound was dark. Candle lights and rechargeable

lamps illuminated some of the rooms in the house. A few

privileged ones powered their rooms with electrical

generating sets. When he returned home from school for the

Christmas holiday, he was surprised to meet his girlfriend

running her own business. When he got her mail several

weeks back, he thought it was a small scale trade. As early as

seven in the morning, people queued in front of the hot fry

pan. He recognized most of them. Several of them lived on

the street, and others came as far as three, four streets away.

Bukky’s bean cake was tasty and had a nice aroma. It was

also a little bit bigger in size than what was sold in other

places. He was proud of her. One of their neighbour’s

daughters assisted her with scooping the blended beans into

the fry pan and at times, she sold the bean cake to the

customers. Since he got back, they had not really been able

to spend time with each other. She was busy during the day

and at night; she turned in early due to tiredness.

He walked straight to the back of the large kitchen shared by

all the tenants. He noticed an average height figure standing

at a corner. The bright moon light illuminated the

surrounding. The moment he saw her face, he broke into a

smile. He was glad she came. He had been able to pass a

message to her that evening before she turned in for the

night.

“My darling…” he stood in front of her and scooped her in his

arms.

Her heart beat hammered against her chest. It felt good,

close to him, in his arms. Seeing him home again, her joy

had known no bounds. Although he looked a bit slimmer, he

was still the same. She didn’t know how much she missed

him until she saw him a week ago with his luggages. She

almost ran into his arms, but, restrained herself. She had

been longing to speak with him since he got back, but the

opportunity had not presented itself.

“I missed you…” she whispered.

“I miss you more…”

He released her from his embrace and looked deep into her

eyes, “So many nights I yearn to see you. I almost came

home one day.”

She smiled and looked up at him. She had almost gotten on a

bus, bent on locating him at school, but decided against it.

“I hope to spend lots of time with you before I return to

school.”

“Me too.”

He dropped his head and claimed her lips. She froze, then

relaxed. She allowed him to pull her into his warm embrace.

The kiss intensified. She heard him groan loudly. Back against

the wall, she knotted her arms around his neck. She jerked a

bit when she felt one of his hands slipping into her blouse.

Panic coursed through her. She wasn’t putting on a bra. She

was naked underneath. She felt both hands fondling her

bosom, exciting sensations swept through her nerves. She

tried to pull away, but he claimed her lips again, distracting

her with sweet kisses.

Gbemiga pulled down his boxers with one hand and

loosened her wrapper with the other. She pressed her hands

against his chest. Her resistance didn’t dissuade him. He

pressed into her, his g---n rubbed against her trembling

thighs.

“Gbemi… Gbemi…Please… don’t…” her heart hammered

against her chest. She enjoyed his kisses but, she wasn’t

ready to sleep with him. The pressure of his g---n against her

brought her pleasure and made her wet. She had never

experienced such feelings before. She wanted him to stop,

but, she felt pinned to the wall. There was no escape route

for her except she screamed. That wasn’t an option. Her aunt

would skin her alive if she was caught in such compromising

situation.

“Don’t be afraid…” his voice was hoarse, “I won’t go far… I

just want to feel you…”

Sweat broke out all over her, “No! Please stop,” she pushed

against his chest, but, he wouldn’t bulge.

He kissed her again and slipped a finger into her. She jerked,

then start to moan. He removed the finger and guided

himself into her. The pleasure that flooded him clouded his

mind. He was tempted to go deeper, but, he didn’t want to

break her hymen.

A tear drop slipped down her face. She prayed that she

wouldn’t get disvirgined that night. It was high time they

drew a line in their relationship.

He slipped out of her and rubbed his g---n in between her

thighs. He jerked and worked himself up until he pulled away

and released against the wall.

She pulled down her blouse and re-tied her wrapper around

her waist. She couldn’t look at him. she wanted to return to

her aunt’s room.

He adjusted his boxers and grinned at her, “I love you.”

She folded her arms against her chest, “Goodnight,” she

started to walk away.

He reached out for her elbow and drew her back, “Hey…”

“Let go!”

He sensed her anger, “Baby,” he drew her close, toe to toe, he

looked into her eyes, “I love you. It’s hard to keep my hands

off you.”

She eyed him and hissed.

“I promise you, I will never ever go deeper than… I just

wanted to feel you.”

“We don’t need all that. I don’t want to get pregnant.”

He started to laugh, “I promise you, it won’t come to that.”

“Goodnight,” she hurried away.

“Bukky!” he dashed after her and bumped into his mother.

Remilekun eyed her son, “Where are you coming from?”

He scratched a spot on his scalp and looked behind her

shoulders. He saw Bukky getting into her aunt’s room. He

would speak to her the next day. The way her softness

melted into him made him smile. It was going to be very

hard to keep the promise he made to her. Most times, all he

wanted to do was kiss her, but, once he got started, his

emotions too over.

“Why were you calling that girl’s name?”

He directed his gaze at his mother, “Who?”

“Bukky, the akara seller.”

“Oh…em… we were just talking.”

She hissed, “You shouldn’t be talking to the likes of her. You

are now in the university. Your level has changed.”

Her words shocked him, “Mum, Bukky is a nice girl. She is

different.”

Remilekun hissed again, “Please, concentrate on your studies.

If you want to have friends, at least choose from the people

in your school or from those in your level. Bukky alakara is

not in your category.”

“Mum, that’s absord.”

“Your father will hear,” she turned around and headed to

their room.

“Mum…”

She didn’t respond. He watched her go into their room. He

followed in slow steps. His father attacked him the moment

he stepped into the room. His sisters were in support of his

argument. They all felt he shouldn’t be socializing with the

people living in the area because most of them were

illiterate. He was supposed to be making friends with the

educated ones, especially those living in high brow areas.

Gbemiga became troubled. He really liked Bukky. It hurt that

his family didn’t approve of her as a friend. What would they

say or do when he finally introduced her to them as his lover

or the woman he would like to spend the rest of his life with?

He decided to keep his relationship with her a secret. When

the time was right, he would open up to his family, by then,

he hoped that their perception would have changed.

Bukky lay on the almost flat bed. She couldn’t sleep.

Thoughts of what transpired between her and her boyfriend

remained like a rock on her mind. She shouldn’t have

allowed him to go that far. What if he had lost control of his

emotions and penetrated? What if she had been deflowered

that night? Her dream of getting married as a virgin would

have been thwarted. Was it possible to date someone

without getting physically intimate with them? God made the

rule that singles shouldn’t indulge in sexual acts before

marriage. That alone was an inclination that it was possible.

She needed to speak to her boyfriend about it. They should

do without all the fondling. It would only stir them up and

fuel the desire to consummate. At least, kissing was a bit

appropriate. They could do that once in a while, not all the

time. She didn’t know how he was going to take her

suggestions. She believed that it was the best thing for them.

She turned on her side and stared at the wall. The room was

dark. There was no electricity. The curtains were drawn and

the only window in the room was opened, but, it seemed like

air was trapped outside the room. Beads of sweat gathered

on her forehead, around her neck, arms and chest. She

scratched an itchy spot close to her spine. The area began to

sting. She groaned. She must have cut herself. First thing the

next morning, she would cut her finger nails.

Thoughts of how he kissed and touched her flooded her

mind. She closed her eyes and inhaled sharply. It was a good

thing that he would be returning to school soon. The

distance was very good for them. The farther he was, the less

likely it would be for her to loss her virginity. She hoped they

would come to some sort of agreement. Fighting him off

everything he touched her wasn’t an option. She doubted if

she would be able to stop him the next he came close to her.

She needed help. They needed to re-prioritize their

relationship.

She planned to tell him about the Adult education centre

Chike too her to. She would be starting lectures immediately

after the holidays. The head of the centre told her that if she

excelled, she would be able to take the Common Entrance

Examination by the end of the New Year. Once she passed,

she would take more lectures and prepare for the G.C.E

examinations. In less than three years, she would be ready to

take the JAMB examination and successfully gain admission

into the university. She beamed with joy. She was going to

get educated. Her parents and siblings were going to be

proud of her.

Her train of thoughts returned to Gbemiga. By the time he

graduated, she would be in her first or second year in the

university, be it as a full time or part time student. His family

patronized her almost on a daily basis. She wondered if they

would support their relationship. His sisters seemed a bit

friendly, but his parents acted as if they were not in the same

category with anyone living in their compound. She sighed

heavily and cleared her thoughts. When the time was right,

Gbemiga would introduce her to them as his girlfriend.
