morning, I and Fay left home together
few minutes before 8am. While she
stopped at her office, I made my way to
the café because I had so many pending
issues that involved huge data
consumption to do online.
Not until 12 did I begin to feel hungry
and chose to take a break. Going over to
the restaurant Ella and Juliet took I and
Frank to the other day, I grabbed some
snacks and a drink as brunch.
On my way back I dialed Rose to check
on her and,she said she was at home and
I could come over because she wasn’t
feeling too well. Told her I’ll be there in a
moment, but have get my things from
the café.
By 12:45pm I was already knocking on
her door. She opened to let me in and
went back to sit on the bed picking up a
pillow and resting it against her thighs.
“Hi” I said as o stood and watched her
looking pale
“Hi” she replied calmly
“so what’s wrong with you” I asked not
sure if it was just effect of the hangover
or something else.
“Drank a little more than I could take last
night….. My neighbour said you brought
me home” she looked at me to ascertain
if I was actually the one because I
remember not telling the girl my name.
Before adding “thanks”
“so how did she know who I was?” I
asked sitting next to her on the bed. “I
do,t remember giving her my name”
“she had seen you the first day you came
here. Besides, I remember you were there
last night.” she said hitting me the pillow
she held.
I explained the scene that played out,
how she puked, and how I got her home
on a bike while deliberately ignoring the
things she said about wanting to fvck
me.
She went on to talk about what actually
happened, which was no different from
what she had told Juliet. She said even if
she had slept with me, the fact that she
was the brain behind the whole trip was
what really got her pissed as Ella only
hijacked the event at the 11th hour. She
didn’t know Ella took the little quarrel
they had on Friday serious and with me
coming over to her house, it only seemed
she supported me because she had hots
for me.
In being my normal self I then teased her
asking “so do you have hots for me? Be
sincere, no one would hear you”. Her
reaction was to hit me the pillow twice
before adding “Fury you are not serious”
We went on to talk about my visit with
Frank’s family to her aunts residence. I
asked why she acted like she hadn’t seen
me before and she asked if I wanted her
aunt to start questioning her how she
knew a guy that was just a week old in
Obudu. She already knew Frank’s mom
who was also a lecturer in her
department, she had heard the dad’s
name but was only able to reconcile the
name and the face that day. Also Favour,
the girl who sat next to me was
obviously Frank’s elder sister.
Our discussion continued with no
particular topic with me making her
laugh while shedding tears of joy at
different point. I’m no basket mouth or
bovi, but I know I can be witty at times,
and this was one of those times. Along
the line i offered to prepare something
for her so she can be sure i was telling
the truth when I told her the other day I
had some serious culinary skills. There
was meat (what she uses for pie and
sauce rolls) and fresh tomatoes in the
freezer, and every other thing I needed to
include dry fish (a large quantity her
aunt gave to her when she left their
house), pepper, onions etc. I quickly
prepared jollof rice, during which time
she went out behind the house to put on
the generator.
When I wanted to leave by 4pm, one
thing was obvious, and that is we both
felt something more for each other. And
was already back to her normal cheerful
and smiling self. As she walked me, I met
the girl I had handed her over to the
previous day, with Rose stopping and
introducing me as Fury, her sweetheart
and the girl as Pricilla, her caring
neighbour.
As we waited for a bike to come that way
while walking up slowly, she suddenly
turned and hugged me firmly, whispered
“thank you” in my ear before breaking the
hug with a simple kiss. My heart kept
racing as we walked on now hand in
hand talking until a bike which had gone
past us with someone returned and I
boarded it and went home.
Fay was already at home lounging with a
fashion mag by the pavement. Saying hi
to her, I went in to change into
something more comfortable and came
back out to join her. When I asked about
mom and dad, she said they left the
house not too long ago together. Mom
had already prepared dinner so they was
nothing for her to do.
We sat outside, talking and laughing with
me surfing the net and chatting at
intervals with Kunle who was stock in
traffic and Laura who was surprisingly
emotional than I would normally expect.
Not until a few minutes past 6pm did
Frank return from Calabar, saying he left
there by a few minutes past midday.. He
was over joyed at the sight of Fay’s
refurbished car, while Fay told him the
key was kept in her pants.
Dad and mom returned together and we
all had dinner, after which they retired to
their room looking worn out. I, Fay and
Frank remained in the living room doing
our normal routine of talking, chatting
and watching what ever was on tv.
Chatting with Ella, she asked why I’ve not
reached her to which knowing gully well
her number wasn’t reachable the
previous day, I claimed to have called her
all through.
She confirmed she was at the ranch and
her battery had died from taking pictures
and video clips. I promised to check her
the following day. At the same time I
also chatted with Rose, with her thanking
me over and over again for being there
when she needed someone. I also
promised to check on her. She gave me
time as from 2pm.
By 9pm, I noticed frank exhausted by the
nature of the Calabar-Obudu road was
already asleep and I woke him by kicking,
asking him to go inside the room and
sleep. Alone with Fay, I thought of
surprising her, so I stood up telling her I
was coming. As i exited the living room, I
switched off the lights and went into the
bathroom too ease my bladder before
proceeding to the room to ascertain
Frank was asleep, snoring on the bed.
With only the tv light illuminating the
living room, I tip toed to the couch where
Fay laid. Blinded by the lights from her
phone, I passed my hand under her shirt
making my way up to cupping one of her
boöbs through the bra. The way she
remained calm and the smile on her face
told me she already saw me or expected
something like that. Pushing her hand
holding the phone away, I mounted her…
