2024-10-29 19:42:56"Emmanco 'P'! Emmanco 'P'!"
All the occupants of Bangkok lodge chanted as he shut the door. Gabrielle realized she had to be diplomatic in dealing with Emma as none of the occupants was ready to come to her rescue.
The caretaker's wife came outside, her face contorted with rage and fear. She knew Emma very well and what he was capable of doing. He was a very dangerous guy.
Fear gripped Gabrielle, she remained on the chair with her gaze fixed on the stranger who had taken charge of her bed.
"I'm not an electrician," Emma began.
"My name is Emmanuel Paul, but my friends call me Emmanco P, the 'P' stands for Papa. I am the father of this lodge, the General Overseer.
Na me dey enter the path of any girl wey enter this lodge first. Na because say I never cross ya path na im make all men just pipe low.
Person don enter ya room? Emma asked. Gabrielle kept mute and continued staring at him.
"You see that jubilation wey dey go on for outside? Na because I don enter, road don clear now."
"Can you speak simple English at all? Gabrielle asked.
"Yes naa."
"Please talk to me in a language I will understand, I'm still a new student."
"All men have been waiting for me to sleep in your room, that is why you've not received any male visitors since you came here. So by tomorrow, you'll start receiving male visitors.
You have been here for some days, so I believe you must have seen how things are done in this......"
"I haven't seen anything," Gabrielle cut in.
"You will see it tonight, over here let's get started," Emma said with outstretched hands.
"Please, Emma," Gabrielle knelt down. "Leave my room I have not done what you are asking of me, please I am a virgin. " Gabrielle pleaded.
"Wow! That's good, I have been looking for your type all my life. Don't worry I will make you my personal babe. Please come, come, I'm hard as a rock because of what you just said. I need your type." Emma beckoned, crooking his fingers and nodding his head at the same time.
Gabrielle stared at the huge bulge in between his legs and tried to escape, but Emma overpowered her. He pushed her to the bed and locked the door. Gabrielle quickly got out of the bed before he got to it. She sat down on the chair again. Emma lay on her bed and hid her bunch of keys in his boxers.
"If you need your key, put your hand here and take it," Emma said before lying back on the bed.
Gabrielle stood up, and paced around her room in anger, anxiety, and frustration, while Emma watched her. She could not come up with any plan that would solve the biggest challenge that was staring at her.
"I can have you right here and now, but I want you to give yourself willingly to me. I can't work on you without juice and I don't have lubricant."
Gabrielle sat back on the chair and was a bit relieved. She wished Emma would go out like a light so she would take her key and escape.
After some hours, Emma closed his eyes and pretended to have nodded off. He knew Gabrielle would come for her key, so he waited patiently for her.
Gabrielle stood up and tiptoed to her bed. She dipped her hand in his boxers and Emma locked her hand in there and that made him hard as a rock again. He drew her closer with his free hand and tried to kiss her. Gabrielle pulled herself from his grip, his teeth gave her a cut on her lips.
Gabrielle sat back on the chair and decided not to try again. Emma eventually dozed off, snoring heavily. Gabrielle did not make any attempt to go for the key again. She took one of her Senior Secondary School books and began to read.
Gabrielle left her window open. Soon the twilight rose into a beautiful morning. She was grateful that she made it even though she was awake all through the night.
Emma was woken up by the early morning sun that radiated through the window. He stood up, wiped his eyes with his palm, and sat back again.
"I need to bathe, I have lectures by 9:00 am," Gabrielle said sarcastically.
Emma stood up from the bed, wore his trouser, and left the room without uttering a word. He was obviously unhappy. The boys who had been waiting for him to come out of the room began to cheer him. The singing and hailing died down when Emma gave them a negative sign. They were quick to understand the sign. Disappointments were clearly seen on their faces. They had booked a turn already and the person that chose the next day could not wait.
"Na stubborn girl she be, but I go deal with am, tonight! Who has lubricant?" Emma yelled angrily. One of the girls scowled?
"Guy you fuck up! Learn how to manage your pre-cum! It is always available! Use it in the absence of natural juice!" One of the boys yelled and sighed.
"If you say that to me again, I swear you won't smell that room!" Emma shouted at him and walked away. Fear gripped Gabrielle who was eavesdropping on their conversation.
She took her bath and left for school. She walked straight to the business center in the school compound.
"Please, I want to make a call."
"Call the number," The phone boot operator demanded. She handed the phone over to Gabrielle when it began to ring.
"Hello Dani, it's me Gabby, Good morning."
"Gabby, how are you?" Danielle asked.
"I'm fine big sis, please where are you?"
"I'm on my way to Cape Town, do you have any problem?" Danielle asked.
"No no problem at all I'm fine, everything is fine. Safe journey sis."
"Call me if you need anything."
"Okay, I will."
Gabrielle handed the phone over to the operator. Tears were in her eyes, but she tried to look brave.
"Your money is one rand." Gabrielle brought out money from her purse and handed it over to the phone operator and left.

"Agatha, please can I sleep for the night at your hostel?" Gabrielle pleaded after narrating what happened last night in her room. "Yes, but first you need to tell your sister what they did to you. Look at your lips, Gabrielle. " "I called her, but she was already on her way to Cape Town. I know my sister very well, if I had told her, she would have come back and I don't want that." "Gabby, what is wrong with you?" She offered to take you out of that lodge, but you declined. Now the game has started. Where do you intend to go from here?" Agatha asked "I want to get my pictures, then go home, cook, eat, bathe and then go to hall B for night class." " And then what?" "Sleep in your hostel if you permit me." "Let's get the picture first," Agatha said. The two girls left in search of the Political Science department. Mike told Gabrielle to meet him at his department for her pictures. The girls were not yet familiar with the departments. The departmental blocks look the sa
Dateless Love Chapter 6 Who is Mangasi
The twenty-five-year-old Brian Moses, popularly known as Mangasi is the only son of a widow. He has three sisters. His father died when his mother gave birth to his youngest sister. Coming from a very poor background, Brian had no formal education. He quit school and went into building houses so he could support his family and pay his sisters' school fees. He was the baddest boy in town. He can fight and defeat any who throws taunts at him. Students who knew him very well were scared of him. Just like some students like football, basketball, volleyball, lawn tennis and different kinds of games. Manga liked to fight and watch people that are fighting. He never hesitated to run to the rescue of young girls and save them from bullies. Brian hates oppressors of the innocent and would always make his voice heard. He had no girlfriend because he did not believe in love. He thought love is the language of lazy men. He engaged the services of hawkers whenever he wanted to feel like a
Dateless Love Chapter 7 The good bodyguard
Gabrielle quickly removed his hand off her neck immediately after they had gone out of sight. Brian put his hand back in his pocket as they walk silently to an eatery. He ordered two plates of food and drinks. Their order was carefully set on their table. Gabrielle was very hungry so she ate hurriedly. "You need more food?" he asked. Gabrielle nodded her head. He placed another order and she was served again. "I will be outside, I need to smoke." Brian stood up from his chair. "You smoke?" Gabrielle asked. "Isn't it obvious? I am proudly a smoker." Gabrielle tilted her brows and focused on her food. It was none of her business anyway. Brian was not even a friend to her. He was just helping her overcome the bad boys in her lodge until she moved out. Brian walked up to a provision store across the road and took fresh menthol sweets to freshen his breath. Gabrielle came out, she did not see him. She stood still and was looking around. "Smallie," Mike called from behind. Ga
Dateless Love Chapter 8 Friendship with Mike
Gabrielle climbed her bed after zipping herself up in a comfy nightgown. She drew her duvet up to her chest. Brian continued staring into space. Plotting how to get her out of the lodge tomorrow. "Please, leave the lights on, I hate darkness," Gabrielle said. There was no response from Brian. He doesn't sleep with the light on. Gabrielle relaxed her head on her pillow and soon hit the sack. Brian took one of her pillows and lay on the floor with his face up. He slept off too and began to snore. The noise could not stop Gabrielle from sleeping because she did not sleep well last night. Gabrielle woke up in the morning and was surprised he lay on the floor without his shirt. The night was miserably cold. A cold chill crept up her spine, raising the hair on the back of her neck. Gabrielle sat on her bed and stared at him with empathy. "Brian...Brian... Wake up, it's morning already," Gabrielle called. "I have been awake. Gabby you need to bathe now. I need to be at one of our bui
Dateless Love Chapter 9 The Lodge's owner
Gabrielle and her friend entered the room and were very scared. "Agatha, I would have waited for Brian. Coming here was your idea." "Relax, Gabby, probably someone reported what they did to you to a relevant authority. Calm down!" Agatha said. Gabrielle sat on her bed and waited impatiently. She was panic-stricken when she heard the man's voice moving closer to her room. She eavesdropped and found out he was shouting at the girls in room four. Probably, he is the owner of the lodge. She began to relax and laugh. "I think he is the lodge owner," Gabrielle murmured. Agatha smiled. "You can ask him to refund you now. He is rich, he can do it." "Brian, the guy I told you about said he has about ten agents that would help me and get a decent lodge. I'm going to move into a new lodge today," Gabrielle grinned and danced for joy. A soft knock came on her door. She opened the door slowly. The quinquagenarian and the caretaker stood there with a register. The man looked at her and
Dateless Love Chapter 10 Mike finds out where Gabrielle lives
Gabrielle stood up and walked out of the eatery. Brian followed her. "Gabby, you need to trust me, would you?" Brian asked. Gabrielle shook her head. "He used my money and rewarded me with a bodyguard. I'm going there now!" Gabrielle tried to go, Brian laughed and pulled her back. "Listen, Gabby, you must call your sister tomorrow and tell her everything. Come with me," he said. "To where?" Gabrielle asked. "My house, to change my clothes. You said I'm smelling awhile ago." Gabrielle looked around and hesitated. "Go, I'll wait here." Gabrielle walked back to the eatery and sat down. Brian shrugged his shoulders and began to walk in the direction of his house. Gabrielle came out and ran after him. He stood still and waited when he saw her coming. Gabrielle was expecting him to ask why she changed her mind. He never did. "I saw one of my lodge mates." "Oh, okay." They walked silently through a lonely path and got to his house. It was an old building. The building had
Dateless Love Chapter 11 Friendship with Mike
"Oh my God, Smallie, you can't live here. Give me Danielle's phone number, I need to call her right away." Mike said. "Don't worry, we are working towards that already. Thank you very much for your concern." Gabrielle gestured him to the door. Mike stood up and walked tiredly. He knew Bangkok lodge very well and what the occupants could do. He looked around the lodge when he came out of Gabrielle's room, shook his head before proceeding to the entrance. "Is he your boyfriend?" Brian asked and opened his eyes. He was surprised she was unclad. She was relaxed as though the person lying on the floor was a girl. He quickly shut his eyes back and threw his head away. Gabrielle reached for a white towel on her cloth hanger and wrapped it around her waist, ready for a bath. "He is not my boyfriend. He is just a friend. I accepted his hands of friendship yesterday and he promised not to go beyond friendship," Gabrielle explained. "He is a good guy, but you need to be careful with hi
Dateless Love Chapter 12 Friendship with Mike
“Smallie, your pictures are ready, are you coming for them?” Mike asked. “Where are they?” Gabrielle asked. “They are with me. Would you go with me after the game?” Mike asked. Gabrielle kept quiet for a few seconds. She needed to see her matriculation pictures but she was scared of his girlfriend. “I can come with you if you are scared of….Mike, what’s her name?” Agatha asked. “Jane,” he responded. “Honestly, I’m scared of her. Brian also warned me to beware of her,” Gabrielle said. Mike frowned his brows and looked away. He did not want the girls to notice he was mad at Brian. “Mike, why is your face like this? Did you not see the way she attacked me the other day? Well, we will go with you, but you must promise us that no one will attack us,” Gabrielle said. Mike’s lips curved with a smile. “Trust me, no one would come close to you guys,” Mike said with a grin. Soon the game began and Agatha sat under the Dogo Yaro tree as usual watching them. She wished she could p

Dateless Love Chapter 40: The end
Gabrielle was awoken by the constant buzzing of her phone. She sighed and rolled over. Her husband traveled out of the country last week and they were expecting him that day. He pulled the phone closer and stared at the caller, it was Agatha, her best friend. She reluctantly picked up the call. Agatha had never failed to call her since she put to bed six weeks ago. "Gabby, your baby's picture is garnering attention on social media. You need to add your maiden name to your name. Felicia…you remember her right?" Agatha asked. "Yes," Gabrielle responded with a low tone. She could not believe her friend woke her up because of her baby's pictures she uploaded on social media. "She said our friends have a group chat but no one knows your whereabouts. Please add your maiden so they will find you. Do it now and call me back," Agatha said and hung up. Gabrielle added her maiden name just as her friend suggested and tossed the phone aside. She stood up and checked the time, it was a few mi

Brian, Gabrielle, and their son spent the week having fun and playing games around the house and in the garden. Rita had an issue with her husband, she intended to stay with her brother for a while. However, she packed her things and returned to her husband to give them space. Brian and Gabrielle's love for each other made her so jealous. The little Brian was lovable and fun to play with. His father did not stop carrying him around. He filled the house with beautiful toys for him. He kept appreciating Gabrielle for not considering abortion. On Monday morning, Brian and Gabrielle were still in bed. None of them felt like going to work. She rolled out of the bed weakly and Brian pulled her back. "Where are you off to?" "To the office""No, you need some days off and plan your birthday which falls on Saturday. Let's give your people a little surprise."Gabrielle quickly put her palm on her lips. She couldn't believe Brian remembered her birthday. She didn't remember telling him anyt
Dateless Love Chapter 47: Catching up
"Do you remember the first day we met?" Brian asked, staring into her eyes. Gabrielle nodded with a smile. "I fell in love with you that day, but I felt we will never be together. Mike was very smart and intelligent. He figured out I'm in love with you and called me dateless love.""Dateless as in timeless?""He meant I would never date you. You are beyond my league.""I never knew how much I loved you until I watched the cops take you away. My heart broke into pieces. I cried, but you didn't notice. "I did and I felt bad. I would have avoided the fight.""What happened when you left?" Gabrielle asked. "I was detained and set free after some days. I had no money to clear the outrageous hospital bills Mike's family gave me, I had to sell the land. I regretted not selling it earlier and established myself. When I remembered the business I ventured into was your idea, I knew everything happened at the right time. I wouldn't have invested the money wisely if I hadn't met you.""Which i
Dateless Love Chapter 46: Reunion
Mr. Ruben walked into Brian's office when he closed work for the day. He saw their boss leaning on his desk and Gabrielle crouching on his side. He frowned but tried to conceal his disappointment. He wanted Gabrielle desperately. "Sir, here are the account details you requested," he said dropping a file on the desk and walking slowly away. "Momi, let's go home," he muttered, planting a kiss on her forehead. Gabrielle picked up her handbag and began to leave the office. Brian held her hand. "We are going out together," he grinned. His seductive smile hadn't changed a bit "Gabby, you are extremely persistent, I'm not letting you out of my sight." Brian held her hand as he walked to his car. The company's chauffeur had positioned the car, waiting for him. "I want to get my bag.""Where is it?" He asked. "At the logistics office.""We are going to pick it up on our way out. Hop in Let's go."Rita entered the passenger's side, Brian and Gabrielle entered the rear side. Brian pulled Ga
Dateless Love Chapter 45: Father and son
Gabrielle alighted hurriedly when the cab she boarded pulled over in front of her apartment. She did want Brian to come after her. She ignored all the surprised eyes that were staring at her and began to pack a few of her and her baby's things. "Talk to me, Gabby, what happened?" Agatha held her bag. "Agatha, please…""Do you think I'll let you walk out of that door without telling me what happened?" Agatha asked. Gabrielle took the baby and began to dress him up. "I saw his father," she whimpered. "I'm booking a same-day flight to Pretoria. Phillip has been begging me to marry him, I think I'm ready to marry him," Gabrielle said. "Whose father?" Agatha asked. "Brian's father.""Whoo!" Agatha screamed happily. "Finally!" Agatha continued screaming. Gabrielle ignored her and lifted her baby and began to walk towards the door. "Wai..wai…wait! Are you running away from the man you have been searching for for the past two years? You are so difficult Gabrielle!" "He is married an
Dateless Love Chapter 44: Good news turns to bad news
Gabrielle went to work very early the next day, ready for her boss. She switched her system on and began to work. Two company security men walked into her office without knocking. Gabrielle shot them a cold stare and understood something was amiss. "You are invited to a disciplinary hearing in the boss's office," they announced. Gabrielle stood up immediately and followed them. The members of the board were already there waiting for her. She greeted them and gestured to a chair. Mr. Ruben listed all the policies she had violated so far, and none of them were true. Gabrielle tried to defend herself, but the board members did not believe her. She was given a six months suspension without salary. According to the board members, the company was newly established and couldn't afford to pay workers who were suspended. Gabrielle picked up her things and left the company with tears in her eyes. Six months of living without a monthly salary was very difficult for Gabrielle and her son. P
Dateless Love Chapter 43: Little Brian
Gabrielle and Phillip had been knocking on the main gate of their house, but no one responded. She sat down at the foot of the gate and continued dialing her brother's number. "Joe, open the gate, I have been knocking for ages. Gabrielle said as soon as her brother picked up the phone. "Dad is with the key. There is nothing I can do," Joe whimpered. "Why are you whimpering, is he there?" Gabrielle asked. "Yes""Move away from there and talk to me.""Gabby, there is nothing I can do. He is with the key and he knows you are knocking.""Where does he expect me to go?""To hell!" Mr. Williams roared and the call disconnected. Gabrielle's frustration was apparent. She couldn't believe her family had decided to throw away the baby and the bathing water. Her father did not care about safety anymore. "Come with me, I'll bring you back tomorrow morning," Phillip said, squatting before her. Gabrielle nodded and stood up. She had no options, so she stood and walked towards the car. The ne
Dateless Love Chapter 42: The Rejection
"Good evening, dad," Gabrielle whimpered when she got closer to her dad. Mr. Williams ignored her and fixed his eyes on a newspaper he was reading. Gabrielle stood still and waited for his response, but all to no avail. Since the news of her pregnancy got to all the members of the family, they had been treating her like an outcast who brought nothing but a disgrace to her family. Her mom hardly responded to her greetings too. She wanted to rent an apartment and move out of her sister's house, but she did not have enough money to move.Gabrielle left her dad and walked into the building, wiping tears that were dripping through her eyes. Her younger brother screamed and gave her a warm embrace when she walked into the family's lounge. "Gabby, you took us unawares. Danielle called this afternoon, she never told us you were coming," Joseph, her immediate younger brother said with a smile. "I wanted to spend some time here, but with dad's attitude, I'm going to leave as soon as I'm thr
Dateless Love Chapter 41: Hometown
Mike took a deep breath as he began to dial the number. He was surprised when Agatha's name pop up. Mike looked at the phone number again, it was the same number he had been calling since he alighted from the school bus. He gave out a long sigh. He could not believe the caretaker sold Agatha's number to him for such an outrageous amount. Mike continued staring at the phone number written in Gabrielle's handwriting. He carefully folded the paper and dipped it into his pocket. "Hi, Mike," Agatha said as soon as she picked up the phone. "Is she there with you?" "No," Agatha muttered quietly. "She has gone. Did you forget the time I told you?" "No, but …never mind" "Mike we are friends, talk to me," Agatha said. Mike took a deep breath and rested his head on his palm. "Mike!""I had a little fight with Jane. She delayed me.""I'm so sorry. She gave the caretaker her phone number, I memorized it. I'm going to text it to you now.""Don't worry, she gave the caretaker your number. I'm
