Betrayal Episode 2

The memory really was so painful cos it was the first time a guy laid his hands on me.

It all happened one fateful evening when we were together in his room, he carried me on his laps and began touching me as usual. First it was my bosoms he caressed, squeezed and fondled, he then drew down the hands of my singlet which gave him clear access to my unprotected bosoms. Even though i do enjoy his touch which really was very sweet, what worried me was his inability to control his urge, which really was in excess with each passing day.


I soon felt his joystick on my as.s as it rose slightly, while he kissed my neck and ear as he fondled and caressed my aroused bosoms.

“Baby you smell nice” he said to me while i blushed, and truthfully Mike really is a master of sweet words which he always used on me cos he knew i loved it.


His right hand slowly found it’s way to my laps which was bare, cos i was wearing a short loose skirt, and his touch really was magical and so sweet that my k—y was soon very wet with k—y fluid. I closed my eyes as he touched, kissed and romanced me………

I soon felt his fingers on my k—y as he expertly worked on it while i moaned slowly.

“Baby easy” i begged, but my pleas only aroused him further and he increased his tempo fingering, kissing and caressing me all over.

Gosh i felt so hot as more k—y fluid dripped out of my k—y. He then turned me to face him, kissed me gently for a while before dropping me on his bed, pulled off pant, parted my legs and immediately brought his head down on my k—y. I soon felt the warmth of his tongue and the fire it drew as he licked and worked on my k—y.

“Oh easy baby, you are killing me” i begged as i moaned, while he licked more and more to the extent of assisting his tongue with his fingers.

“Jeez, Mike totally spoiled my k—y with his various techniques, and all i did was just to moan, plead and wriggle my waist as he licked my k—y dry………

Finally after what seemed like an eternity, he raised up his head and i heaved a sigh of relief and exhaustion.

“Baby it’s now your turn to suck me” he said as he pulled down his knicker while his huge joystick raised its head and nodded, but I looked at him and said nothing.

“What is it baby? Sit up nah” he said as he drew my hand in order for me to sit up but i refused, which left him extremely surprised.

“what is the matter?” he asked

“I can’t do it” i replied, and he smiled.

“Baby there is nothing in it. C’mon sit up let me teach you” he said, but i shook my head, cos only the thought of his huge joystick in my mouth sent shivers down my spine.

“I won’t cos i don’t like it” i said arrogantly, while he stared at me as i got up from his bed and dressed up. His eyes burned furiously as he watched me.

“Baby why are you so selfish?” he finally asked, while i eyed him.

“You are the one very selfish all you now know is s-x, just see how skinny you have become” i replied with a hurtful tone, which really was a big mistake and it earned me two powerful slaps on my face while i held my jaw and stared at him in shock and disbelief.

I stared at him angrily and in shock for a while, before rushing back to my room in tears.

“Baby i’m sorry” I heard him apologise as he followed me but i shut my door and locked it before he could enter. I really was so hurt that day cos i never believed mike would ever lay his hand on me.

Tears flowed freely from my eyes as i remembered how i felt that day. “Why am i even remembering all these?” i asked myself as i cleaned my eyes, but then it was my feelings for Benjamin which was bringing my past experience back to my head, and i had no control over it.

I soon heard a steady knock on my door, which brought me out from my thoughts. I immediately composed myself as i went to open my door and when i opened it, there stood Benjamin with a smile on his face, and he peered into the dark room.

“Are you still sleeping? It’s almost 7:45pm” he asked me while i forced a smile.

“Actually i wasn’t even sleeping oo” i replied as i yawned, switched on my bulb and allowed him in. He entered, looked around for a while before staring at me again. I tried to hide my face by looking down, but his sharp eyes noticed my dull face and red eyes. Seriously guys can be very sharp when it comes to reading a girl’s face, especially a girl they are interested in.

“What’s wrong? What happened?” he asked seriously and with care, while i sat on my bed and looked away, he was soon beside me and he held my hands tenderly.

“Please what is it, maybe i could be of help?” he asked, while i forced a smile.

“Don’t worry it’s nothing” i replied, but he just shook his head.

“I don’t believe you, moreover nobody cries over nothing” he insisted.

“Benjamin it’s nothing serious, i just remembered someone i used to care for” i explained and he smiled.

“Ok, I now understand, so where is he?” he asked but i just gave him a blank look.

“Why do you want to know?” i asked back as i rolled my eyes, which made him to smile and shrug. But then my retort didn’t put him off, instead he drew closer to me and looked into my eyes.

“Sweetheart a problem shared is a problem solved, moreover sharing your story with a friend sometimes helps to reduce tension and bad feelings, and i equally promise to share my own story with you when you are done with yours” he said to me fearlessly, while i looked at him silently as i battled within my mind whether to share my secret with him or not. I thought to myself that no matter my feelings for him, he still is a boy and might use it against me in future, but the way he stared at me really showed he cared and the sparkle in his eyes were very real and filled with love. My eyes melted again and i burst into tears while he held me in his arms and consoled me.

“It’s okay baby” he said with his gentle voice, and truthfully I didn’t know how i felt that moment cos it has been a long time a guy held me in that manner.

His arms were comforting and i really felt like sleeping in them when he held me, but then i equally didn’t want to appear vulnerable or weak to him and so i managed to control and keep myself in check by drying my eyes.

“It’s okay everything happens for a purpose, what are you going to eat tonight?” he asked, while i said nothing.

“I have soup, i can make garri for you” he said, which made me to laugh.

“Thanks Ben you are a nice guy but don’t worry, i will drink tea with my biscuit” i replied, while he shrugged in resignation.

After taking my night bath that evening, i took my biscuit and a cup of tea to his room cos i promised to come and stay with him for a while in order to tell him my story.

“Don’t worry once i’m done with my night bath i will come and spend an hour with you” i had said to him, when i finally composed myself and stopped my tears that evening. He stared at me as if he was reading my mind through my eyes.

“Do you promise? Cos i can’t wait to hear your story?” he asked, while i smiled and nodded.

“Yea i promise” i replied, before he stood up and left in order to give me space to take my bath.

As you all know, we girls do like to keep our secrets to ourselves but then Benjamin really appeared very special to me, cos he had few friends and didn’t socialize much. This made me to trust him and seriously the feelings i had for him was equally so much that i was even ashamed of myself sometimes. Yet, I couldn’t help it and at precisely 8:55pm that fateful evening i saw myself in his room where we stared at each other as if we were searching for something in our eyes.

“So dear, i’m all ears” he said to me with a smile, while i drank my tea and smiled back as i prepared to share my story with him.

And there i sat in his room about to reveal my intimate secrets to a male who really was nothing but a stranger to me, if not that i had feelings for him, and with a smile on my face i opened my mouth to do what i never knew i would ever do in my life.

Hmmmmm, love really works wonders.

I told him the first few chapters of my love life with Mike, which was focused mainly on how we started and how he took away my virginity, which equally turned him into a s-x addict, and truthfully i really knew not what pushed me into revealing some part of my intimate life to him, even though i kept the main part to myself, while he listened attentively with his eyes focused on me.

“So how did it all end?” he seriously asked, while i breathed deeply cos i stopped my story at the scene where Mike slapped me. A smile equally displayed on my face as i noticed the excitement with which he asked the last question.

“I will say our affair officially ended on his graduation day” i replied, as the memory of that particular day rushed into my head, while Benjamin nodded his head for me to continue.

Mike’s graduation day really was a day i will never forget in a hurry and that night was equally spectacular, as we made love all through in celebration of good things to come, without knowing that I was celebrating the end of our relationship.

That particular day equally was a very great and special day for Mike, and his happiness knew no bounds.

After settling the hostel neighbours by giving them a carton of malt and beer to share, he dragged me out from the hostel happily.

“Dearie it’s you and i today, lets go catch some fun” he whispered into my ear, while i giggled happily.

He took me to a small fast food joint at the other end of the town, where he spoiled me with chicken pepper soup and ice cream, together with sweet romantic words which followed it.

It really was one of the best romantic moments i ever had with him and i equally was the happiest girl on earth that fateful day. When we got back to his room around 8pm in the evening, he held me tenderly.

“Baby thanks a lot for being by my side all through my struggle as a student” he whispered, while my eyes melted. Oh I was so much in love with him as i prepared myself to give him my body once again.

“Dear please continue” i heard Benjamin say to me, while i stared back at him with a smile on my face.

“Sometimes a little girl needs to keep some stories to herself” i said and winked at him, while he shifted unhappily where he sat.

“It isn’t fair oo” he protested, which made me to smile further.

“I’m very sorry but i can’t continue” i apologised, as i reached for his hand which i held softly.

Truthfully, i couldn’t really bring myself to share the rest of my story with him, cos a girl really needs to keep some secrets to herself.

“I think it’s time to get going” i said to Benjamin who just looked at me unhappily.

“You are not keeping your promise, it’s not what we agreed” he continued to protest while i stood up.

“Don’t worry in due time you will know everything” i said to him, while he shrugged.

“I don’t have a choice nah, so let me just wait hopefully” he said to me, while i laughed, carried my tea cup and left for my room.

I rinsed my tea cup when i got to my room before lying down to sleep, but still sleep eluded me once again, as the memory of my last moments with Mike flashed back into my head.

His goodbye really was the most sincere words he ever spoke to me and equally the saddest words i ever heard, but then i misinterpreted his goodbye thinking that it was just a normal parting words of a travelling boyfriend, without knowing that it was a final goodbye from a guy abandoning his girlfriend and walking out from a relationship which she jealously guided with her whole heart.

After his final exams, he had only stayed for two weeks before packing up some of his properties, even though his rent was yet to expire and my heart really skipped countless times as i helped him pack his things, which i did out of loyalty and not because i wanted him to leave.

“Why are you leaving so soon, how about your clearance?” i had asked, while he just smiled as he held me.

“Don’t worry dear, they have all been taken care of and i’m just leaving because i don’t want to waste any time in preparing the road for our future” he replied sweetly, while i stared at him with a fast beating heart which was filled with love.

“I’m very scared” i said to him, while he smiled before kissing me passionately.

“You have nothing to fear princess, i can never forget your beauty nor the love we share together, just trust me, infact i should really be the one to be scared, because you are too beautiful to be left alone” i heard him say, while i blushed, because his sweet words were really too much for my inexperienced little brain-washed head, and his lips rested on mine again, while his tongue found its way into my mouth.

I equally felt his touch as he caressed my young bosoms, which truly aroused me very well and seriously he really had control over me, that i was just a toy in his hands and even when we quarreled i forgave him easily even when i swore not to.

As we made love once again, i really didn’t know that it was a goodbye s-x as he knacked, fondled, caressed and kissed me, all i did was just to enjoy every bit of it without knowing that i was being dumped.

As soon as Mike left the hostel, i felt very empty and it looked as if i had lost something precious, cos i really had gotten used to his presence. I couldn’t even stay five minutes without thinking about him, nor stay an hour without flashing or calling his phone.

Seriously it really appeared as if my whole life depended on him and that was equally when i started to notice some changes in him.

His phone calls drastically reduced to the extent of twice on a very good week, which i really didn’t care about, since i did most of the calling, but the one which pained me the most was when he didn’t call me on my birthday, but only sent me a text message which got me extremely annoyed……

“How can a text message be compared to his sweet voice?” i had asked myself throughout that day as i waited patiently for his phone call which never came. Yet with tears in my eyes i read his text message over and over again till i finally slept that fateful night without hearing his voice.

“Or was he waiting for me to call him on my own birthday?” i wondered sorrowfully.

It really was very disheartening to receive phone calls from friends who meant nothing to me, while the person i called my boyfriend found it very hard to call me and that moment was equally when i began to have serious doubts about him.

“Did i truly choose the right person?” i asked myself over and over again that fateful night.

I didn’t expect him to buy me jewels, nor clothes, because i knew he just graduated, but all i wanted was just to hear his voice that particular day which was very hard for him to satisfy me with.

I couldn’t control my emotions the following day and with a shaking hand, i dialed his phone number.

“Hey baby, what’s up?” he asked when he picked his phone, but due to my anger i couldn’t answer him, but instead poured out my unhappiness to him.

“You have really changed! You can’t even call me on my birthday, you are very heartless, please don’t call my number again!”

I poured out to him before ending the call. Even though i shouted at him, i really had expected him to call me back. So I held my phone hopefully thinking that he would call back but he equally found it too difficult to call back. I really can’t describe how i felt that moment cos i was more than devastated. He finally called me around 9pm, but due to my anger i refused to answer my phone, which rang five times before a text message came in.

The text message was from him and when i read it, i nearly fainted.

“I know it will come to this one day but i never expected it could be so soon, anyway goodluck with your life, i know you are with another guy that’s why you are not answering your phone. I won’t disturb you again just as you ordered”

The text message he sent me really smote my heart and tears dropped out from my eyes as I read it over and over again.

“So Mike had never trusted me”, i said to myself as i cried and the urge to call him back and beg him that moment was so great, that i had to drop my phone.

“Life why are you this cruel?” i heard myself ask. Amara my roomate rushed to my side with concern written all over her face but i said nothing as i handed my phone to her. Her face equally turned white as she read the text message Mike sent me.

“Hmmmm so so cruel”, i said to myself as all the memories kept flashing back……

“Baby girl, this text message shouldn’t depress you nah. I believe he is just angry, you know how guys behave sometimes” Amara tried to console me but yet i was unable to stop myself from crying that night.

The following morning, she called him with her own phone but he refused to answer which really surprised Amara and all she did was just to shrug and shake her head.

“Don’t get yourself worked up over him, he should be the person to cry for you, so dear lets forget about him and prepare for market, you know our food stuffs have finished” she said to me as she expertly changed the topic.

Mike never called me, neither did i see him for the rest of that year but i soon pushed him to the back of my mind as i focused all my energy in my studies, which was why i came to school in the first place and not to fall in love with someone who doesn’t deserve me.

However that period was very traumatic for me, cos i woke up sometimes feeling very lonely and h—y. What really kept me going was my determination to get over him as i swore not to be so easily used again. Although i couldn’t really believe that a guy like Mike, who took me when i was very pure could easily forget me, as if i never existed. This equally made my heart very strong and hard towards guys that most of them avoided me because of my cold behaviour towards them.

It was also because of my past with Mike, which made me to pack out from my former hostel and move into the hostel where i met Benjamin.

Hmmm, Benjamin. The guy who softened me a bit and made my heart beat fast again.

“Hope I’m not making a major mistake again?” i asked myself as i tossed around on my bed but then i really didn’t know how his charms were able to soften my heart and turn me back to a sweet girl capable of loving again.

I was still thinking about him when my phone rang briefly and stopped, when i checked the caller, it was no other person than Benjamin who had flashed me. A smile appeared on my face.I checked the time it was 12:15am.

“Why is he awake by this time of the night? Is he thinking about me?” i asked myself with a smile, and i was still pondering over it when sleep finally carried me away.

Oh my Benjamin……

“i like Benjamin very much, but i’m scared of making another mistake” i confessed to Amara, on our way back to our hostel from school the following day, while she just smiled,
“sometimes i don’t understand you” i heard her say, which made me to stare at her in surprise,
“what do you mean?” i asked,
“nothing oo jare” she replied, which only made me more curious to know what she had in mind,
“nawa for you, tell me what you have in mind nah?” i insisted, and she stared at me for a while, with a very serious look on her face,
“your problem with Mike happened last year, what i don’t understand is why you are still mourning him, and equally punishing yourself till now” she said, which really shocked me immensely……..

“who told you i’m still mourning mike or punishing myself?” i asked seriously,
“isn’t it obvious that you are, it’s been months since you last had a guy in your life, which kind of punishment is more than that?” she fired back,
“abeg oo it’s no punishment to me, i’m single and happy” i replied with a smile, while she laughed for a while…….

“comot there jare! pretender, don’t tell me that cra.p again jor” she said with laughter, while i eyed her…….

One thing i really do love about my friend Amara, is her honest and blunt nature, and she never hid her feelings from me, even for a single day, though sometimes she may be annoying,

“if you like, continue to play hide and seek with that poor boy’s feelings, i have nothing else to tell you again” she added, while i slapped her shoulder,
“madam it’s okay nah” i said to her……..

Falling in love for the second time isn’t that easy, especially when you have been so terribly dealt with, the first time, but then love is an inevitable force of attraction which do come to every human being, and when it comes, carries your whole body, soul and even sense of reasoning with it………

Truly i was so scared of being hurt again, cos i knew i barely managed to survive my first heart break, which really wasn’t easy for me and seriously i equally didn’t know how my friends, especially Amara were able to jump from one relationship to another without any emotional break down,
“how i wish i could just be like them” i had often said countless times, but then i really couldn’t be like them, because we are not the same…….

We soon got to our hostel, where Amara gave me a sweet smile before going to her own room, which she shared with her boyfriend
“take care, i will come to your room later” she said as she smiled……..

As i unlocked my door, Benjamin came out from his own room, with a sweet smile on his face,
“finally you are back, i have been lonely all day” he said as he came towards me, while i stared at him with a smile, and i felt like hugging him that moment, as my body yearned for his arms around me, but i kept myself in check, and swallowed my wishes, because i equally knew he had no morale to hug me in that manner in a hostel corridor,

But surprisinly he drew close and hugged me, which really drew out dimples from my face,

“i couldn’t sleep last night because i was thinking about us” i equally heard him whisper……

“Hmmm love is full of surprises”….

we entered my room together, where he sat quietly on my bed and watched as i quickly prepared rice that afternoon, cos i returned from school with hunger. But the way he stared at me that afternoon really made me to lose concentration a couple of times and equally made me uncomfortable…….

“please stop staring at me nah” i finally muttered while he laughed,
“but i can’t stop myself from staring at you nah” he replied with my tone, which made me to sigh with a smile,
“you better go back to your room and watch your t.v, since you are looking for who to watch” i fired back while he laughed out loud
“watching you cook is more interesting than any t.v programme” he joked while i eyed him,
“big head” i cursed
“flat nyash” he cursed back,
“na there your eyes go see fast” i replied, while he fell on the bed as he laughed,
“madam cook fast, i’m very hungry” he said as he laughed,
“i’m not your mother” i replied, as i eyed him…….

After cooking, i freshened up in my bathroom, before dishing out the rice i cooked on a large plate. We ate together in silence and the way he ate really told me that he was actually hungry…..

“you cook nice but my mum cook’s better sha” he finally joked with a smile when he was filled up, while i eyed him,
“because you don fill you stomach nah, why didn’t you make that comment earlier?” i asked with an angry mien, while he smiled,
“hope there is still some left in the pot?” he also asked,
“why are you asking?” i asked back with a frown,
“cos i will still eat at night nah” he replied, while i sighed with a smile, seriously that boy’s head needed to be spanked that moment……..

We were soon in his room where we joked and laughed as we watched a movie and i really was very glad that he finally was able to feel free with me……..

I really knew not how it happened, but i soon found myself in his arms, as he kissed me tenderly, he wasn’t a good kisser, but i still enjoyed it as i closed my eyes, and i was equally thrown into another world when he squeezed my left b—m, and the feelings i had that moment was just heavenly. But as i was still enjoying his touch, he suddenly stopped and looked into my eyes, while i opened mine and stared back at him, a little embarrassed……

“this is my first time of being this close with a girl” he confessed as he swallowed hard, while i stared at him in silence, cos i really knew not how to react or what to say, but then his eyes really said it all as he looked into mine……..

“so Benjamin is actually a virgin” i said to myself, as i stared back at him with a fast beating heart…….

To be continued…

Sister Mary Episode 2

“but how do we go about the hot injection?. I like the plan but just asking” i murmured. Jboy laughed.

“it’s just simple. After you must have drugged her. I’ll come over with a chemist friend who will do the injection. Very simple” he explained. I breathed deeply and stood up,

“thanks man, i have to get going” i said, shaking hands with him.
______
As i laid on my bed later in the night, i thought about the plan and the consequencies. Surely it was a very dangerous plan, something capable of ruining my reputation and career, but my heart was strong. I was very determined to carry it out to the last.


My thoughts were soon interrupted by my phone which began ringing. I smiled as i grabbed it. As usual Chioma was calling just to say goodnight to me. Such a wonderful lady she was.
“Had i met her earlier, perhaps i wouldn’t have been in this mess” i reasoned as i answered her phone call.
__
After a very stressful day at the office the next day. I had a quick meal in a small cafe closeby before heading to Mary’s apartment. I really had a hard time locating the isolated compound which stood at the end of a dirty street, poles away from other houses. It was my first time of visiting her.
Parking my car in front of an old gate, i calmly dropped a piece of paper she used in writing down her address for me weeks ago, breathed deeply and alighted from my car. I dialled her phone number which rang twice before she answered it.

“i’m in front of your house. At the gate” i slowly informed her, praying she comes out. She hung the call, saying nothing. I was lost and stunned. Breathing deeply i dialled her number again and again but she refused answering. In desperation i tucked my handset back in my b—-t pocket, raised up my head to see her rushing towards me. Her face bright with joy.

She drew close stopped and stared at me with uncertainty. I smiled and hugged her.
“i’m very sorry dear. Forgive me. I have realised my mistakes. I spoke to the pastor yesterday” i said softly, my heart pounding furiously.

Such decietful words they were but enough to make her melt in my arms with joy.

are you for real?” she asked with joy,

“of course i’m, can we go to my house or are you busy?” i asked. She backed away from me, shook her head and laughed.

“of course i’ll go with you. We have a lot to discuss isn’t it so?” she asked. I nodded with a careful smile, saying nothing.

“let’s go inside. I have to change my clothes before going with you” she said sweetly,

“no i can wait here, just be fast” I replied. She blew out a kiss, turned and ran into her apartment. I calmly waited, so happy that things were going well. I prayed for the rest of my plan to be equally easy.

She soon showed up minutes later, wearing a lovely green gown with a green handbag on her left shoulder. I quickly opened the car door for her, jumped into the driver’s corner and zoomed off to a small but cute restaurant, where i ordered a delicious meal for her and a bottle of beer for myself. I truly astonished her with my behaviour and the poor girl thought it all was for real.

On getting to my apartment an hour later. I dragged her to my bedroom where i kissed her profusely. She responded without resisting, giving me the courage to push her down on my bed.

I was so weak and tired, but i had to make love to her. I had to make her feel convinced that all was well and settled between us. I showed her love, grabbed, fondled, caressed and devoured her. All i did with superb perfection, sucking her bosoms, p—y and finally slamming her with my heavy-duty joystick, which devoured and made her scream with joyful abandon as it went in and out of her hot wet ki.tty.

We f.uc.ked each other till 11pm when we fell apart breathing heavily and sweating profusely. She stared at me with eyes filled with joyful tears.

“i really prayed so much for this moment. I knew my prayers would be answered. I knew you will come back to me. I love you so much” she poured out with all her heart.
“so when do we begin planning for this baby that i’m carrying?”She asked, touching her belly.

“calm down my dear. I already have things figured out” i replied with an evil smile. She relaxed and caressed my chest happily.

“i trust you darling” she murmured, failing to understand the meaning of my words.

Having her where i wanted, the next thing was to move over to the next stage of my murderous plan.

The next day i briefed Jboy, giving him the details of everything that went on between Mary and I the previous day. He was pleased.

“so how do we give her the drugs?. When do you think will be perfect?” i asked,

“well remember i said it could be done within a week. It’s all on you” he replied.

“ok then, saturday night will be better. I want it done as soon as possible” i answered. He kept quiet for a while, perhaps thinking how possible it would be.

“so what’s your plan?. Remember she isn’t supposed to eat anything within that time-frame. How do you intend keeping her hungry by that hour. It sounds hard oo. I would have preferred it done in the morning?” he asked.

“remember Kano state football team {kano pillars} are coming over to the state for a football match on saturday?” i asked,

“yes and what has that got to do with the plan?” he curiously asked.

“a lot bro. I will pick her up from her apartment on saturday morning. Have some rounds of s-x with her. Then in the afternoon, i will buy her some light snacks which we will eat together before heading over to watch the match. On our return, i will serve her a drugged cup of fruit juice before notifying you to come over with your chemist friend. It’s a difficult task but it really is the best i can come up with” i explained convincingly.

“well let’s pray it works well. I’ll bring the sleeping stuff tomorrow morning” he murmured and hung up.

I was happy and angry with myself. I knew what i was about doing wasn’t right but had to do it to avoid an unending regret.
Early the next day as i dressed for work, Jboy brought the pills and wished me luck.
“i’m by your side bro” he smiled as we shook hands.

On getting to the office, I told Chioma that i will be travelling to the village to spend the weekend. She instantly believed me, asking no prying question which really was a big relief.

I had the sleeping pills, Chioma out of the way. The only thing left was completing my plans which were now in the final stage.

Deep down i was very scared.

Later in the evening, i thought over my plans, rehearsing every step and praying for it to work out well. Commiting a crime is never easy, no matter how small it is.

On rechecking the sleeping drugs Jboy gave me in the morning. I noticed that the small container in which the pills were stored had no label. I quickly called him on phone. I knew how bad sleeping pills could be and so wasn’t willing to take silly chances.

“of course the pills are 95% risk free. Three tablets will be perfect for her. It disolves instantly in any liquid solution. My young cousin brought the drugs from Ireland last christmas. You have nothing to worry about moreover the chemist and i will be around the corner waiting for your signal. Just sleep tight bro, we have a long night tomorrow” he assured me strongly. I finally hung up and slept with my hopes up.

By 12noon the next day, Mary showed up at my house looking happy and excited. I couldn’t help but wonder how miserable she would be after my plans have been carried out.

We played, kissed, romanced and joked till 3:30pm when we headed to the stadium to watch a much anticipated football match. We ate no lunch, which equally was one of the sacrifices i endured. However we had a great time at the stadium, whispering sweet nothings to ourselves all through the duration of the match.

7:30pm we returned to my apartment, very tired and hungry.
“thanks sweetie for everything. I guess i have to head to the kitchen to prepare something” she said to me with a smile. I shook my head before kissing her.

“no my dear. Just relax in my room, I have another surprise for you” i whispered to her. Her eyes brightened with joy, she turned and headed to my room without another word.

I rushed to the kitchen, brought out the pills were i hid them, opened my fridge, brought out a fruit juice which i poured in a glass cup, quickly mixing the juice with three tablets of the sleeping pills just like jboy directed. I murmured some quick prayers before taking the cup of juice to her.

“where is the surprise my love?” she asked as i walked into the room. I smiled and handed the glass of juice to her.

“just drink this first my love” i smiled, winking at her. She quietly obeyed, drinking half of it in one gulp. I breathed with satisfaction.

Unknown to her, the surprise she was waiting for was in the juice she just gulped…

She calmly finished the drink, dropped the cup and flashed a smile at me.

“thanks sweetie you are so caring. I wish things will continue this way” she said happily. I breathed deeply, drew close and kissed her.

“of course it will” i murmured as we kissed. We fondled each other, kissed and joked for about fifteen minutes before she stood up, trying to head to the kitchen once again. I quickly held her.

“i have to go prepare something my love” she said, trying to free herself from my grip.

“don’t worry dear. I’m heading out to get something more yummy. Just relax sweet-heart. I’ll take my bath first, then head to the restaurant down the street” i appealed convincingly. She shrugged, returned to my bed, grabbed the t.v control, and busied herself moving from one t.v channel to another. I smiled, undressed and headed to the bathroom, praying for my plans to work out without issues.
I spent close to ten minutes in the bathroom before coming out to see her half asleep. I sat beside her, smiling to myself. She turned, backing me as she murmured some inaudible words. I dressed up, went to the sitting room and called Jboy.

“yeah it’s about time. We will be there in ten minutes” he assured me and hung up.

Ten minutes really was a lot of time as i waited for him to show up with the man who was to give Mary the injection. I kept staring at the clock until they showed up fifteen minutes later. Wasting no time, i led them to my room where the man quickly gave two injections to Mary without any stress. Though as he gave her the second dose, she tried to turn in her sleep forcing me to hold her strongly.

“so what’s next?” i asked as we returned to the sitting room.

“just watch over her and wait” Jboy replied as he left my apartment with his chemist friend.

I really wanted them to stay with me, but couldn’t ask them for such favour. So Reluctantly, i returned to my room, uneasily awaiting the result of my deed. Such a terrible night it was. I couldn’t even sleep. I murdered my soul with a terrible crime, how could i sleep.

2:30am, I still sat awake, nervous as ever as i waited for the injections to work or for Mary to at least wake up.


I was so scared and happy. I couldn’t think properly anymore nor figure out the next step to take. I kept praying and hoping for things to work out well.

3:30am, my eyes slowly closed, my head quietly dropping as the great power of sleep and exhaustion took over my entire body.
Leaving the bulbs on, I had to change my position by lying beside Mary. Couple of minutes later, i slept off like a baby.

At exactly 5:15am, Mary’s sharp cry woke me up, instantly putting great fear into me as i sprang up from my bed. I lazily rubbed my eyes with my palms before staring at her with confusion.

“dear Lord no no no” she screamed with all her heart. Her eyes on my bed. I couldn’t help but follow her eyes which rested on nothing but on a small pool of blood which clearly glared under the florescent light in my room.

I breathed deeply with satisfaction and happiness. But i quickly hid my feelings, drew close and hugged her. Surprisingly she pushed me angrily away as if she was aware of my crime, rushed into the bathroom and locked the door.

For some minutes, i stood confused as i thought over things. Surely i was free from her after all. The unwanted baby gone forever.
“what next?” i asked myself over and over.

She rushed out of the bathroom minutes later with my towel wrapped round her body, looking very shaken, miserable and troubled. I tried to get close to her again but it earned me a dirty slap which silenced and made me a bit angry. I left her alone and went over my sitting room.

She soon showed up in the sitting room wearing my old tight fitting jean trouser and shirt. Eyeing me, she left the apartment without another word while i went after her, begging her to stay for at least an hour. She refused to listen to my pleas nor talk to me.

She left without saying any parting words which really put me in great suspense because i couldn’t figure out what she was thinking nor had a way of knowing if she suspected any foul play.

I returned to my messed up bedroom, very scared and uncomfortable. I had no choice than to start cleaning up the mess and awaiting what fate had in stock for me.
I knew not if i will ever see her again.

After cleaning my bedroom and bathroom, i tried calling Mary on phone but she simply choosed to ignore my calls.

I was scared and afraid. I couldn’t eat nor do anything else other than to lie down in my sitting room, deeply thinking without any solution.

Finally by 5:30pm, I rushed over to Jboy’s apartment, briefing him on the latest development. He wasn’t a bit moved by my story.

“her behaviour isn’t out of the ordinary. Of course you weren’t expecting her to jump with joy when she found her baby was gone for real?. Well the best you can do is just to go over to her house, keep her company and make some sweet promises” he advised as if it was all easy. I shrugged and shut my mouth. It was my cross to carry and so had to carry it all alone.

I drove over to Mary’s house minutes later, but couldn’t get myself to go inside the apartment. My conscience wouldn’t allow, and kept flogging me without pity.
I sat in my car for hours without moving an inch. All i did was just to stare at the old compound, afraid and nervous.

By 7:45pm, I returned to my apartment, prepared dinner and ate hungrily, washing everything down with two bottles of cold beer. I felt a little bit relaxed after. By 10pm i went to bed.
____

I left for work very early the next day, pushing aside Mary’s image and everything about her. It was something that i did with a whole lot of effort. I couldn’t let my conscience to continue flogging me.
___
5:05pm
I left office with Chioma and headed to my house. She earlier had insisted on going home with me, and i had no choice than to do her bidding.

5:20pm
I slowly parked my car in front of my apartment, alighted with Chioma who innocently linked her third right finger with mine as we headed to the hallway leading to my flat.

“i don’t just know why i feel so happy” she murmured excitedly, while i drew back cautiously as my sensitive eyes spotted three men who were heading towards us. I quickly sensed danger, but calmed down, appearing cool.
One of them waved, urging us to stop. I obeyed fearfully. Chioma equally stopped, her eyes fixed on me.

“are you Mr. Ken?” the man who waved at us asked as they drew close. I nodded faintly.

“you are under arrest sir” he said polietly. The two men with him quickly closed in on me.

Before i could get myself to say something, I was dragged and thrown into a waiting police van, while Chioma pleaded to them to let me be.

It was very sickening finding myself in such terrible, bitter situation. My guilty conscience never allowed me say something reasonable. Chioma was the person who did all the talking, begging and screaming at the officers to let me be.

“for God’s sake, leave the poor man alone. I beg of you. He is a respectable gentleman. He can come to your station on his own” she pleaded as they threw me at the back of their van.

“do you wish to go with us?. That’s the only way we can help. We are simply carrying out orders” one of them said to her. She looked at me, breathed deeply with tears melting her eyes, climbed into the back of the van and joined me. I couldn’t believe my eyes, i never knew she loved me that much.

“you shouldn’t have” i managed to murmur.

“don’t worry dear. I know you are a very innocent person. If i don’t stick with you at this moment, then where is the love. I’m your woman and it will always remain so” she said confidently. I closed my eyes and prayed for the terrible nightmare to go away.
“what if Mary is behind this outrageous police arrest?. How do i now keep things away from Chioma” i wondered miserably.

We got to the almost empty police station at exactly 6:20pm. The lady corporal on desk quickly grabbed my I.D card which one of the officers who arrested me threw at her. She wrote down my name and some other details from it, while an ugly looking officer rudely undressed me. This time i weakly fought and resisted the cold treatment. Chioma screamed with anger.

“what the hell is going on?. I swear i will bring down this station with a team of lawyers tomorrow. This is insanity and abuse of my friend’s human rights” she barked at the police woman as i tried my possible best to avoid being undressed.

“you can do whatever you want madam. We are only carrying out instructions” she replied Chioma, quickly taking record of my belongings which were handed over to her.

Before i could argue once again, i found myself inside a poorly lit cell. Holding the iron bar, backing and ignoring the seven guys inside, i shouted at the top of my voice begging to be released. My behaviour seemed to have irritated my cellmates, because few seconds later, I felt a terrible thud at the back of my head which sent me turning to face my new enemies.

By the look on their faces i knew they were delighted and amused, ready to have fun with me. I knew a great beating awaited me, but wasn’t ready to yield without a fight.

“what’s your own?” I angrily barked at the guy who punched me, closing my fists as i bravely faced him.

He breathed angrily, charging at me. I stood my ground, displaying no fear. His right fist soon caught my jaw, sending me backwards. I lost balance and staggered, my jaw furiously burning.

He threw out another punch which i managed to dodge before launching at him from the mid-section. I was no boxer nor fighter, and truly had no chance with him, if not for my instinct which pushed me into diving at him with a quick reflex.

Together we fell on the other cellmates who were enjoying the show. Surprisingly they all joined in the fight, kicking, punching and spitting at me, while i struggled like a wild animal to get up. Yea i was turned into an animal. A very wild one. So pathetic fighting with low-lives. A high class graduate like me.

The uproar the fight generated quickly drew the attention of the cops on duty, who earlier had ignored the noise. Two cops showed up, shouting and cursing. Seconds later, the fight was over. I was simply a mess, battered and dirty. I can’t recollect if i actually slept that night.

Very early the next day. I was called out of the cell by a tall fulani corporal and dragged to a very small bush at the back of the police station where a half bucket of water and a new set of underwear was waiting for me. I was surprised.

“your woman brought it this morning and paid us to treat you fine. She dropped a message” he said, giving me a piece of paper.
“hurry you have five minutes. Oga is waiting for you” he said and moved back to give me a little privacy. I quickly opened the folded paper, reading the note from Chioma.

“they said you nearly killed a girl but i don’t believe them. I gave them money to treat you well. I have to inform our colleagues at the office this morning. I Love you” she wrote.
I fought hard to hid my tears as i read the note over and over. .

Fifteen minutes later,
A.S.P Tunde’s office

The middle aged officer was busy with a file as i was brought into his office. He quickly dropped the file he was reading, stared at me for some seconds, drew back on his chair and folded his hands.

“MR Ken you are in real deep trouble. I hope you know you arn’t getting out of this place in a long time?” he slowly asked. Picking his words like a high court judge delivering a verdict. I instantly knew i was dead meat.

I couldn’t talk. I simply stared at him like a zombie. So many things were going through my mind that moment. I just was overwhelmed by the situation i found myself.

“I hope you are ready to tell me the whole truth. Tell me about the girl you drugged to remove her pregnancy. Start from the very begining. You have an interesting case” The officer demanded with a calm smile on his face. I stared at him murderously.
“how could he be having so much fun over my dilemna?” i wondered miserably. I felt like smacking him but could do nothing than to swallow my anger speechlessly. Surprisingly my silence quickly provoked him.

“I don’t have all day boy. We already have enough evidence to nail you. I only wanted to hear your side of the story but it seems my good intention is being rebuffed. Your silence is a big insult to my uniform” he suddenly barked, hitting his table with his right fist. I panicked and drew back. I just couldn’t take control of the situation.

“you better start preparing yourself. I’ll personally make sure you hang. Vagabond. You will be heading to court in few hours” he threatened vehemently. My mind flew.

“oga it hasn’t come to that. I’m just confused over everything. I’m yet to get myself nor understand my crime. Your boys hijacked me from my home yesterday evening without any explanation” i begged quietly, but the officer wasn’t moved. All he did was to ask the corporal to take me away, but just that moment a female sergent brought Mary and another young Lady into the room, giving me another chance to plead my case. This time to Mary.

“Mary! Dear me, what are you doing to me?” I cried passionately.
She was my only hope. Yea she was behind my detention but I also was intelligent enough to know she had the power to stop the police from taking the case further. There wasn’t any need lying nor pretending anymore. All i wanted was just to be set free. Only a night at the police cell was an experience more deadly than hell. I couldn’t imgaine surviving another night in there.

“Mary i Beg of you, let’s settle this at home” I cried hopefully.
But Unfortunately the look on her face was like that of a vampire, keen on sucking blood.

To be continued.

Betrayal Episode 3

“hope my confession didn’t change anything?” i heard Benjamin anxiously ask, while i touched his jaw and smiled,
“no dear it dosen’t” i replied sweetly, and he heaved a sigh of relief, before giving me a kiss on my cheek…….


I truly didn’t know what else to tell him, and so i stared silently at him, which he equally noticed. He drew closer to me and whispered into my right ear……

“hope you are alright baby? Because you are yet to make any comment” he asked, while i breathed deeply and said nothing………


“i know you are very surprised?” he asked as he held my right hand. I nodded and smiled,
“sure i’m, because it is very hard to believe that at your age and level you have never been intimate with a woman, even for once” i replied, and he looked down unhappily with a drawn jaw,

“i know something caused it and i can read it in your eyes and expression, tell me what is it?” i curiously inquired, but he just fidgeted and looked away…..

“open up to me Ben, you will gain my trust more by opening up” i added, while he bit his lips and stared at me painfully,

“i dated a girl for four years without s-x” he confessed and looked down in shame and pain. I reached out my hand and drew his face up, and into his eyes i gazed,
“tell me how it all happened dear?” i asked curiously, with a fast beating heart, while he shook his head……..

“i loved her with my whole body, soul and spirit, but she took them all in her hand and crushed, as if it was nothing” he said unhappily, while i strongly held his hand as i listened to him……….

“so tell me about her” i quietly urged, and he swallowed hard, and bit his lips,
“we started dating right from our ss3, because she was my classmate and we equally got admitted into this university the same year. All went well at first, even though we never had s-x, just because she said we should save it for marriage, which i had no problem with, since i loved and trusted her with all my heart, moreover she equally was a good christian, so i had no doubt over her fidelity, but then everything changed last year, when she started to hang out with a boy she introduced as her coursemate to me, and before i knew what was happening she finally told me that she dosen’t have feeling’s for me any more” he narrated sadly, while my heart weep for him…..

I drew his hands and embraced him, while he tightly held me, as if he was my child,

“oh Benjamin, only if you havn’t been so dull, this wouldn’t have happened to you” i said to myself as we held each other, and my love for him equally doubled, because i also deserved to have a male virgin for myself…….

Can two broken hearts linked together make a very giant strong heart of love??

Hmmmm…..

He tried to kiss me again, but i politely pushed his face away, and his expression changed as he looked at me curiously,

“hope i no fall hands by confessing to you” he anxiously asked in pidgin english, while i bursted into laughter,
“no dear you didn’t” i answered amidst laughter as i equally caressed his face a bit, he kept quiet and just watched me…….

“it’s just that i have to get going, because i have a school assignment i wish to tackle this evening” i explained, while he shruggled,
“okay but i do feel you are running away from me” he replied, and i breathed deeply,
“dear i will return once i’m done with my assignment” i assured him, while he shruggled again,
“it’s okay and also remember to bring another plate of rice when coming” he added. I then got up with a smile and left his room……..

I truly had no assignment to do that evening, but i only wanted to be alone for a moment, in order to control and calm myself down, because i didn’t want to betray my excitement, moreover his confession really overwhelmed me, because i never dreamt i’d be so lucky to have a male virgin, whom i like so much for myself……

“hmmm am i not a lucky girl?” i asked my image as i stared at my mirror with a smile, and just that moment i heard a knock on my door………

I opened my door happily, because i thought it was Amara my best friend who was at my door, because she earlier promised to show up, but my smile quickly disappeared when i saw Dave standing at the door way…….

“hullo pretty girl i came to keep you company” he said with a smile as he walked into my room, without even waiting for me to admit him in, while i froze in fear because everyone knew him as a notorious cultist…..

However Dave really was a very handsome and rich guy, who spoiled himself by belonging to a cult group, and he so much was into it, that he was very popular within and outside the hostel and school environment, and he equally was a boy who thought the world only revolved around money and cultism……

As he sat on my bed with a smile, i wondered what really brought him to my room, by that time of the day………..

He crossed his leg as he stared at me with a confident smile, while i sat on my plastic chair and faced him with a drawn face. Even though i was scared, i never showed it
“are you not happy that i came to your room?” i heard him ask, while i shook my head and forced out a smile,
“i’m not feeling fine, and i was even about to sleep before you knocked” i replied……..

“but i just saw you coming out from benjamin’s room minutes ago?” he asked knowingly. I just kept quiet and held my jaw with both hands,
“but on a serious note why is a pretty girl like you, always hanging out with someone with no *swag*?” he asked with a serious look on his face. I breathed deeply as i stared into his eyes with disgust,
“i like boys with no swag” i replied, in a manner which would even make a brave ‘jew student’ raise his eye brow in fear, but i cared not, because i really didn’t like even the air he breathed…….

“baby are we quarreling nah? Please i’m also your friend” he said calmly, while i shifted uneasily on my chair,
“i’m so sorry for the tone i used, it’s just that i need to rest, please” i said to him, while he shruggled, stood up and came to my side…….

“okay dear i will check on you tomorrow, please do take care of yourself” he said to me as he caressed my hair a bit, while i held my breath as i equally restricted myself from making any annoying comment, because his touch really was very irritating, but then i equally was more annoyed with his composure, because he just behaved confidently as if he owned both i and the hostel……..

He finally left my room with a well composed smile, which really annoyed me more, but i soon forgot all about him as i rested for a while, before warming my rice, and dishing out some for benjamin……

However as i stepped out from my room with a plate of rice around 9:00pm, i ran into him again, as he was coming out from the hostel balcony, and he smiled as he saw me,
“nne seems like you are now okay?” he asked jovially, while i smiled and passed him………

Benjamin was very happy when i brought the rice for him, and he thanked me countless times as he devoured it, while i smiled confidently as i watched him eat…….

I really didn’t tell him about Dave’s visit, which appeared very irrelevant to be discussed at that time, but then a part of me really urged me to tell him, but i suppressed and kept it to myself, even though i really didn’t know whether i did the right thing, especially with the events which later unfolded…….

“please can you sleep in my room tonight?” i heard myself ask benjamin, who froze for a while as he stared at me in surprise. I really didn’t know what pushed me to make such demand, but i guess it was because i very much scared of Dave and what he could do, which really didn’t make a whole lot of sense, but then i equally knew in my mind that i secretly wanted to spend the night with Benjamin..,…

However i also knew what i did when i made such demand, because as a girl it could have been easier for me to sleep in his room, but because of my pride i had rephrased my demand, which i knew any sharp guy would understand the hidden meaning……..

But Benjamin really was at lost on what to say, and he just stared at me for a while before he was able to find his voice,
“hope everything is okay?” he asked with concern, while i just nodded,
“yea it’s just that i’m having a bad feeling which is making me to be scared” i replied,
“don’t worry dear, i will be by your side tonight” he assured me with a smile, while i smiled in appreciation, even though i equally was disappointed that he didn’t insist for me to sleep in his room, which most guys would have done…….

However nothing really happened that night in my room, even though we both laid awake till very late in the night. I really was awake because it was my first time of spending the night with another boy, since i broke up with my Ex, while i easily noticed that Benjamin was also awake, because he kept tossing around on my bed. I really didn’t know whether it was because he was uncomfortable in my room that made him toss around, or because he was summoning the courage to touch me…….

He finally drew close and held me, which delighted me very much, but i kept quiet and pretended to be asleep. To my greatest dismay he didn’t go further or do anything else to me, before we finally slept…….

Hmmmm, anyway even though i was disappointed that night, my respect for him equally grew, because he behaved like a gentleman…….

We woke up very late the following morning, and it was a steady knock on my door which really woke us, and i really was forced to open my door, when the person knocking refused to give up……..

It was precisely 7:05AM when i opened my door that fateful morning, to see Dave standing on my door-way, with hands in his pocket, and a fixed smile on his face……..

I blocked my slightly opened door with my body, which prevented him from walking into my room, just like he did the previous day. However he never showed any surprise, but instead continued to smile sweetly…….

“how was your night, i came as soon as i woke up, because i want your face to be the first thing i will see this morning” he said, while i smiled,
“thanks i’m very fine, but you also woke me from sleep” i complained as i rubbed my eyes…….

“i’m so sorry dear, will you be going out today?” he asked,
“yea i will and why do you ask?” i replied,
“i just want to spend some time with you” he explained, while i shruggled, “well that will be another day” i answered………

Instead of leaving, he still stood and watched me, while i returned his gaze without knowing what else to say to him,
“you are really so beautiful dear, and i will do anything just to win your heart” he said sweetly and fluently, while i smiled,
“thanks sha, but you need not bother because you won’t succeed, moreover i already have a guy” i replied calmly, which made him to smile,

“you mean him?” he asked, as he pointed towards Benjamin’s room……..

“please i’m yet to brush nor clean up, lets talk later” i heard myself say to him, but just that moment Amara appeared from nowhere and stood beside him, with a smile,
“baby good morning, i’m so sorry i was unable to show up yesterday, abeg shift make i enter nah” she said playfully, while my legs shook, as my heart leaped, because benjamin was in my room, probably still in my bed, a situation i really didn’t want her to witness, because i really havn’t told her much about Benjamin, and she might misinterpret the whole thing…….

“baby give way nah, make i enter” she said again, while i hesitantly opened my door a little wider, in order for her to enter,

“Dave thanks for checking up on me, we will continue our discussion some other time” i said to Dave with a sweet smile, as i closed my door………

With a fast beating heart, i turned and faced my room, but surprisinly i saw Benjamin seated at the edge of my bed, well composed and engrossed in his mobile phone which he was playing with. I breathed deeply…….

Yet Amara still smiled and eyed me suspiciously, as she turned to face me again……

“we will chat later since your friend is already here” i heard Ben say nervously, as he stood up and left, while i smiled as i locked my door before facing Amara again, who still continued to look at me suspiciously…….

“i just noticed many things” she said to me with a smile,
“things like what?” i asked, but she just shruggled……

“dear friend, hope you are not planning to keep this away from me??” she asked with a little laugh,

“Hope you are not planning to deny that you just slept with benjamin??” she seriously asked me, while i gasped…….

“no i didn’t ooo” i seriously replied as i fell on my bed, and clutched my teddy bear with a smile,
“sharrap you liar” i heard Amara say with a smile,
“didn’t Benjamin sleep here last night?” she asked seriously, as if she already was aware he did, while i wondered whether she really knew, or was just trying to play with my intelligence……

I breathed deeply and stared at her,
“yes he did, but there was no s-x ooo” i replied, while her face lit up momentarily with bright eyes, which soon died away as she stared at me again in surprise,
“huh what did you just say?? Do you mean you two didn’t??” she asked, while i seriously nodded to her,
“yea we didn’t do anything, he is a complete gentleman” i said with a smile……

“abeg go jare, you wan tell me, you didn’t wet your pant as you dey wait for him to do something?” she asked with a naughty smile,
“comot there, you chukuchuku girl, you too like bad thing, do you thing everybody behaves like you, thank God you no be man tufiakwa! things for happen well for your head” i said to her, while she laughed out loud……

“i was on my way coming, when i saw you both sneaking into your room last night so i just turned and returned to my room, but i came here this early, in order to confirm whether he actually slept here” she explained,
“infact you are jobless” i said to her with a smile…….

“so what’s up with you and Dave?” she enquired, while i shruggled,
“i don’t know what is wrong with that boy, he just started showing interest in me” i replied with a yawn,
“please be careful with that wolf ooo, don’t mind his innocent face, he is very dangerous” she advised me……

We chatted all through that morning happily, and we really had a great time, because Amara never lacks topics and so we ate together, gisted and joked till noon, when she left for her room……..

I immediately freshened up as soon as she left, before calling Benjamin on phone, in order to know where he was,
“i went to see my uncle, i will be back shortly” he replied,
“abeg buy something when returning, including Naija movies oo” i begged,
“ok madam i will” he replied, while i smiled……

I had barely ended the phone call when i heard someone knock on my door, i immediately knew it was Dave which really made my body temperature rise a bit. I breathed deeply and reached for my door, which i quietly opened, while he stood at the doorway with his usual decieving smile………

“may i come in?” he polietly asked, while i nodded, opened my door wider and made way for him to enter my room, which he did with a confident smile on his face….,.

Dave calmly entered my room with a confident smile on his face. I left my door ajar, and drew down my curtain, which then stood in its place, because i really didn’t want to lock myself inside my room with him.

“you are looking very lovely” he said with a smile as he sat on my bed. I sat on a plastic chair and forced out a smile,
“thanks ooo my God is alive” i replied…….

“so what plans do you have for the rest of the day?” he asked,
“i don’t understand your question” i replied as i gave him a curious look,
“how do you plan to spend the rest of the day?” he asked,
“oops now i understand, anyway i have no plans other than to read my books, sleep and eat” i replied a bit coldly,
“hmmm it’s okay sha” he muttered……..

We stayed in silence for a while, which really was one of my boring moments that particular day. I sat uneasily on my chair and browsed with my phone, as i equally prayed for Amara to show up and rescue me……

“globacom is hosting a show this evening in school, will you like to attend?” he later asked. I looked up in surprise and shook my head,
“really!, how come i didn’t hear about it” i muttered to myself loudly…..

“so will you like to attend?, i heard tuface, sound sultan and other musicians will be coming?” he asked anxiously, but i just bit my lips and looked away,
“no i don’t think i will go” i replied, even though i secretly was dying to attend such a show, but then i really couldn’t accept to go out with such a boy, whom i knew was all out to impress me, till he gets whatever he had in mind, moreover attending such a show with him, might end up into another thing which i equally was very scared to think of…..

“what are you thinking” he asked, stood up and drew close to me, while i immediately composed myself and smiled,
“nothing i’m fine” i replied, but he squatted by my side and held my hands,

“i know you don’t trust me, i can see it in your eyes, but no matter the opinion you may have about me, just know that i’m also human, who deserves to be shown love and respect which you are not even showing to me” he said as he stared into my eyes……

“what do you mean?” i heard myself ask, but he laughed,
“i can read your eyes, you despise me because you know i belong to a secret cult, but dear if you should hear my story, you won’t really blame me at all” he said calmly.

“i’m already in love with you which i can’t help, please just take me as a friend. It hurts me very much whenever you treat me like dirt, just like you did this morning, please don’t look at my outside nature, but look inside me, and decide for yourself, whether i’m that bad” he added, while his face changed as if he wanted to cry……..

I really was touched, but all i could do was just to look away and stand up,
“i have heard you, but it won’t change anything, we will continue to be friends and nothing more, just as you asked for” i replied………

“it’s okay by me, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a step” i heard him say as he stood up,
“what do you mean” i asked in surprise, but he just laughed,
“don’t mind me dear, it’s really nothing” he replied,
“but i have one more request” he added, while i turned and faced him,
“what is it?” i asked.

“please i need just a friendly hug from you, to mark our friendship, then i will leave” he begged, while i bit my lips and looked away,
“cm’on what’s so hard in it?, a friendly hug won’t do you anything” he begged…..

I shruggled as i breathed deeply, hesitantly drew close and hugged him, while he tightly held me a bit longer than i had in mind……….

Unluckily Benjamin came in that very moment…………..
