Johnny woke up early in the morning in
Yvonne’s arms after a divine night of sexual
bliss between them.
He got ready for work and helped himself with
a huge breakfast of grilled egg, toast and tea
which Yvonne made.
“You are looking very handsome and gentle
baby” She said grabbing the neck of his shirt
as she adjusted the knot of his deep bluish
dotted tie buttered in a white shirt with a
silvery shiny suit over them.
“Thanks baby” he replied taking her in his
arms and giving her a kiss before rushing off
to work.
The day was hectic at the office for Johnny,
he kept glancing at Yvonne’s pic which was
the wallpaper of his office computer and even
his phone. somehow he couldn’t wait to go
back home to her, he felt complete with her
and deep within him he knew he is in for it
forever ( if you know what i mean)
at 6pm he closed for the day and told Joy his
secretary to tidy up his desk as he whisked off
for home.
Humming to the tune of “The way you kiss me
by Shania twain” blaring through the car
stereo, nodding his head to the melodious
voice of the veteran blues singer.
He pulled into the in land road leading to area
1 as a Peugeot 406 blue car zoomed pass him
almost smashing his back bonnet.
“Look out what this stupid driver is driving,
some people need their licenses seized” he
cursed.
Everything happened fast as the 406 pulled up
at the middle the road blocking the road.
He was about to get down from his car to tell
the stupid driver to get the f##k out of the
road, he noticed something with the shape of
a gun as 3 men in black flooded out the car.
“Whats happening” He said to no one in
particular..
“Oh s##t…oh my god ” he blurted out as the
shapes of the men became visible to him.
huge men on black with black masks and
guns he could easily identify as AK-47.
His heart melted into his stomach, sweats
flowed freely as he his trembling hands
shakily pulled the gear to reverse.
There was a crash as he felt a thud at the
back the car which nearly made him hit his
head on the steering wheel.
Johnny looked back in a flash and saw
another Peugeot 406 packed behind him.
Before he could say ‘what’ the front window of
his car was already shattered to pieces with
the bottom of an AK-47.
“Common get the f##k down from the car” A
huge guy barked at him dragging him
forcefully out of the car.
He was a black version of John cena, all
muscles and veins.
“Kneel down there you idiot” another roared
sending Johnny sprawling on the floor with a
thunderous slap borrowed from Middle east to
the back of his head.
“Waste that guy sharp sharp make we comot
here” The second guy shouted again with the
first guy already pointing the muzzle of his
gun at Johnny.
“Please guys please dont shoot me, i will pay
you double of anything you want, please
please” Johnny pleaded with sweat and tears
flowing freely from his face.
Despite his freaky tall height which made him
obviously taller than all of them, he still felt
like a tiny insect between them all.
All of a sudden everything seemed important
to him; Yvonne, his business, his village that
he never visited since he left enugu.
All he heard was a thunderous bang with a
bright flash and a sharp piecing pain on his
chest and everything went blank.
* * * * * * * * * * *
Everything was blur and foggy as Johnny
weakly opened his eyes.
A bright light was shinning, he took a weak
look around as the white paint registered into
his brain, the beebing sound of a machine, the
blue curtains around him and the white ceiling
above beaming down at him adorned in bright
white florescent bulbs.
“Where am i? ” he muttered to himself.
“You are awake!!…Oh my God…You are finally
awake” Johnny heard a familiar voice shout,
then his lips intruded by a soft familiar sweet
smelling lips making him tilt his face to the
direction
“Yvonne” he muttered weakly.
“Yes my love am here” She replied smiling and
tears running down her face.
“If this was heaven, so far Yvonne is here then
am ok with being dead” Johnny said within
him not sure whether his dead or not.
“What happened my love” He weakly asked
Yvonne trying to smile.
“You were shot and have been in coma for
3weeks” she said running her hands all over
his face with an assuring smile.
Johnny’s mind raced back and he recalled
pleading not be shot then nothing else.
The door cracked open and a bright looking
young man clad in a white lab coat walked
gently in with a smile on his face.
“He is awake Doctor” Yvonne announced
happily to doctor frank as if he didn’t notice.
“Yeah i can see that” He smiled not knowing
whether it was to Johnny or Yvonne.
“WELCOME BACK mr Williams”
To be continue
