It was already morning and they were all set for the day’s activity. It was hide and seek game. Everyone was ready for the game apart from Enola. She seemed little bit weak and exhausted.
“Guys, I can’t come along, I feel really weak like I will fall sick. Let me just stay back and rest”, she Enola notified them.
“Hmm, sounds so suspicious”, Michelle whispered to the hearing of Ekaris.
“I don’t even wanna think about that, he whispered back and continued aloud… let’s just leave her behind and go ahead with the game”.
They all left her behind like she insisted, Bruno was the last person to leave the area because he wanted to make sure that she was in good situation before joining others. Now, they would have to play the game in singles instead of pairing in twos.
“You guys already know the rules of the game, we will spin a bottle, whoever gets spotted by the angle of spin will be the one to seek whereas, the rest hides”, Bruno instructed.
“Please, let’s not go too far to avoid one missing”, Ella advised.
With that, they started the spinning. Firstly, it got to Clinton. He was the one to seek where others hide.
“Clinton, you are up”, Michelle said with a playful laughter.
“On counting to 10, everyone must have dispersed and after then, I will start seeking”, he said as he closed his eyes to signal the dispersal.
Everyone ran and hid where they were able to find hidden space and just then, Clinton started seeking. The job wasn’t an easy one though. You will undergo the stress of walking through the whole place in search of the scape goat. That was exactly what he did…..to some extent he became tire of searching not until he heard some faint noise. He managed to trace the direction of the noise and unfortunately, what he saw blasted his memory. He peeped inside the tent and saw Bruno and Enola making out. Well, it looked like they just started. That was when Clinton realized the reason why Bruno made a certain statement when they were about started the game. He said that when a seeker gets any of the hider, he makes a loud shout to signal the others to start coming out. Anyone that didn’t show up sooner should be disqualified from participating. If he doesn’t come back after the second search, the whole players would look for him. These statements of Bruno made sense to him when he saw the reason for the statement. Actually, Bruno had a plan, not only Bruno, both of them must have cooked that up during one of their lovely night discussions. They were naked, already in the midst of ecstasy. Clinton didn’t bother to perturb them, he left the same way he came and definitely found someone else.
He made the mighty and loud shout with the highest pitch his voice could produce. Everyone came out as expected apart from Bruno.
“Where is Bruno”, Ekaris asked.
“He is probably uninterested again, let’s forget him and continue with the game”, the reasonable Clinton covered him up by lying.
“What do you expect, when the precious lover is not participating”, Ella chipped in..
“We definitely have the same thing in mind,….maybe they have gone to continue from where they stopped”, Ekaris added and Clinton looked him guilty eyes; of which Ekaris wasn’t able to notice. Not anyone did and he just maintained like he didn’t do anything or whatsoever.
That was it, they started the second round of the game. Actually, Clinton caught Michelle during the first round…..so, she was the one to do the seeking for second round while others do the hiding. Coincidentally, Ekaris and Ella found themselves in the same hiding place. The place was too right that they had to rub each other in order to attain certain level of comfort. Funny enough before then, the both of them had something we needed to know.
Ekaris and Ella had something of which others weren’t aware of. Let’s crack it down a bit. Before Enola came into the picture, Ella and Ekaris were having stuffs together but it was a topmost secret between the both of them. It all happened one day when Ella visited him in his house, he was all alone and the parents weren’t around too. They had a long discussion about how they feel about themselves. Considering the fact that she was pretty as well, but not to compare with that of Enola. They had an unprepared romance, an affectionate kiss and a baseless touch. The condition of being alone gave them the motivation to take their affection to the next level. So, they had an unprepared affair. One they say about sex and affection was that it reoccurs whenever the two master minds behind it decides to make it happen. After their affair, which on the other hand was well satisfying and cool. Maybe they had wanted it to happen again. They decided to hide it from every other person and also avoided things that would bring suspicion. Actually, they do had affairs from time to time to the knowledge of no one. Trust Ekaris, a snake in the eagle’s shadow. This was how confused it was, Michelle and Bruno had affairs even before Enola surfaced, likewise, Ella and Ekaris had too even after Enola’s relocation. But another confusion emerged; Enola was having a hidden thoughts for Ekaris which was unknown to anyone even Ekaris himself, Bruno still wants an affair with Michelle but didn’t know how to place priorities, as Ella and Ekaris already had stuffs……Ella still admired and crushed on Bruno maybe as a result of his appearance and wealth. He seemed to be the richest amongst them. Then finally, Ekaris was jealous over Bruno and Enola’s relationship but still had thoughts for Enola. Just imagine how group of friends were just circulating unnecessary affairs and thoughts that was uncalled for.
“Don’t you think that this is an opportunity for me to kiss?” Ekaris proposed.
“Shiiii, she will catch us please”, she said using one finger to cross her mouth vertically to demonstrate what she meant.
At the moment, approaching footsteps of the seeker made them to almost freeze like people that were being controlled by remote. Michelle knew she had some screeching noise, like Someone or something ran into the woods or probably, something was trying to hide on noticing her presence. She restrained her fast moving steps, she went slower trying to figure where exactly the noise was coming from. She walked round the whole observable areas surrounding the event spot trying to see what she could but was very unfortunate to see anything. As everywhere had already calmed down, they waited a little to make sure that calmness was prompt, to avoid being caught by any seeker or worst still, by any of the hiders. Everywhere seemed calm then, their eyes gazed on each other probably thinking what no one knew. They came close enough slowly bringing their both lips together. It was already going to be a very sexy and succulent kiss as their minds would be telling them. They almost had the kiss before a voice interrupted.
“I got you guys”, and it was behold the seeker.
They were already coming to the end of their stay in the woods. That was probably, the last night they would spend there. That night was so memorable for some and as well normal for others. Due to the effect of the last game they played, they were all drained and famished. Normally, they usually go to the river to freshen up one after the other. It was Enola's turn, she left with her necessary articles of clothing down to the river to take a bathe. Maybe Ekaris thought she needed an escort and decided to follow her without her knowledge. Enola was moving faster and left much meters for him to cover up.So, when he finally got to the river, he sighted from afar and realized that Enola was already stripped. He decided to watch closely from the distance. The magnificent body of a wholesome creature, like assorted meals prepared for the calibers. Her beauty beamed like that of a goddess and her flexibility of heart made her so attractive. Ekaris was at his hiding place, obse
“I have something to say guys”, Bruno said as they were already gathered discussing.“And what could that be?”, Ella asked representing the anticipation of the whole Paragons.“Actually, it’s a proposal. Can Enola join the Paragons?” She asked.There was some kind of silence, they were definitely waiting for who would speak first. Though, I see lots of reasons why she should be admitted as one of them. She had followed them almost everywhere they went to and also did to some extent, what they did. “It’s not bad if I should say”, Clinton said.“She has been here and there with us, so making her officially one of us isn’t bad idea at all”, Michelle supported what Clinton said. And the rest of them had no objection about the issue. “Thanks guys, for accepting me”, she appreciated with beams of smiles on her face. They didn’t bother to know what prompted Bruno’s suggestion but one person did. Ekaris had a constant way of suspecting Bruno and Enola. He believed that whatever they were
In the winter’s day, it’s as cold as ice right?..... The cold experienced during the winter is often not foretold. When the sun is directly overhead the equator or tropic of cancers or capricorn, whichever one, also when the north wind meets the sea. At their meeting, a catastrophic conjugation of misplaced ego as per which would persist. The esteemed purpose of their existence deflected and the unalloyed confliction stages. As this staging is going on, some part of the earth suffer it the most. A solidification of essence and prostitution of non conserved weather. That leads to the desertification of some areas and seclusion of areas.The Paragons were very much closer and lovable. Just the way people loved and preferred summer to winter, In that same manner, people loved them and admired them. Some things happened and some things led to another. If you remembered, I narrated earlier that the Paragons had or were having unidentifiable connections with one another.Ekaris knew of the
At a very unconventional period, there appeared to be a conflict of romance. Clinton was left uninformed since he was the only one that seemed not to understood the underlying truth of the moment. He had things that kept him busy other than love and romance. The worst part, it was a cyclic romance. The only person he would suspect was Ekaris because he knew what the guy can do. Very cunning, smart and as well, wicked to some extent. He would do everything possible to have his way due to his cheered selfishness. At some point, Clinton confronted him to inquire exactly what would make such an individual behave in a way so affectionately unaccepted.The response he got from Ekaris almost made him to hate him. He decided from then to keep of Ekaris’s path and mind his absolute business. Amongst all, it was Enola who knew less about Ekaris and what he probably might be up to.One cloudy and suspenseful afternoon, Enola was home alone, the mum had gone to work and left the hous
The smart Ekaris who always knew how best to get what he wanted has done it again. After he had successful inculcated the news to Enola, he really fought very hard to fix himself somewhere. To the extent it had gone, the both of them were already speaking on the phone regularly. It was one phone call on a faithful day that changed courses. On the other side, Bruno was already giving her less attention and more to Michelle. She didn't bother to query him or did anything wrong. She also had someone to give her time and attention to. Though, Bruno noticed that things weren't flowing like before, but he didn't bother just like I said earlier, he was really occupied with someone else. So, he just gave back the same energy. “Hey… are you ok”, Enola asked on the phone. “Yes dear, just took a shower”, Ekaris replied. “That’s nice, I was wondering if you can come and see me in the house”, she asked. “Why not, I’m on my way already. Who would decline such an invitat
“Our last meeting didn't end well right?" Enola sounded on the phone. “Yes, I guess so. Did your mum ask you any questions?" Ekaris asked eagerly. “She didn't even suspect that, thanks goodness we didn't go inside the bedroom before she entered", she stated. “By now, I might be in the police station waiting for bail", Ekaris as both of them burst into laughter. But come to think of it, the mother could have really done that. She knew top people in the police as she had eyes on security matters. She might probably do it just to make sure that her daughter is very secure or even put both of them in order to secure the safety of the house. Their discussion over the phone was very intense and daring just the way she normally did with Bruno. That was the very first deep and arousing call they had made ever since they started talking to each other. During the call, they talked about many things and one they didn’t forget was to plan for proper
So, aware of what has gone down, it became a necessity to keep matters secret at all cost. But why is it that when someone tries even harder to conceal something, that’s when it forces itself out from no where. Enola knew about Bruno’s affair with Michelle but Bruno wasn’t aware of hers with Ekaris. Clinton was the only one that knew. You might wonder why he was just out of all the mess, but like I have said earlier in some part of this book, he wasn’t that kind of person that appreciated love and affection. He was just there and those stuffs didn’t trouble him. Maybe, that might also be the reason why none in the circle went for him because he wasn’t romantically favored. He was comfortable with the fact that no one approached him for any attachments or feelings, he was comfortable not having a serious relationship like Bruno, he was comfortable being out of the picture entirely. But the only reason to be uncomfortable was seeing evil done to his man without letting hi
Bruno couldn’t live with the pain and disheartening effect of what Clinton had earlier told him. He was confused on the actual thing to do whether to confront Enola first or Ekaris. He was very uncertain how to go about that and as he was contemplating on that, the time for them to meet came. Sorry I didn’t mention this earlier, the Paragons had a meeting day. A day when everyone ought to be free. It was usually Friday evenings that most times, escalate to late in the night. So, that evening’s meeting, there supposed to gather at there normal joint unless they made a joint decision to gather at any of their houses. That particular evening, a decision had already been made that their gathering would be at Ella’s place. “Oh my goodness! It’s time already”, he said to himself as he started arranging the house to keep it in order for his exit. He left and definitely arrived safely at Ella’s house. He was the last to arrive as Enola didn’t call him as she normally do. Every
Enola couldn’t afford to spend more time there, like I said earlier, she needed to stay cool and clear some things off her head. The mother noticed her unusual quietness and forgetfulness in thoughts. She knew something must be bothering her, she just wanted to give her sometime to know exactly if what she thought was right. She was right after all, Enola no longer feed well, she experienced insomnia and lack of enthusiasm in doing things. Her mum was fed up and decided to find out what has been eating her up from the inside. She was inside her room one night as usual and couldn’t sleep, she was invaded by drop of tears that were allowed to flow down the cheeks freely. She was weeping in silence but due the fact that the whole house was calm and serene, the mother was able to hear her sobbing voice even from her room. It was very obvious that Enola couldn’t hold it for much longer, she might probably think of a bad way to end things which kept me thinking; what did the bo
Enola was passing through a whole lot, she had gone through series of emotional damage caused to her by Bruno. He made Enola feel very belittled and ashame of having loved him in the first place. What he did would be discussed shortly, but before then, Enola made a decision to travel back to the coast side and stay with her father till further notice. At least to clear of certain things that were heavy on her. She suffered from loneliness and frustration from heart break. They day she planned to travel came too quick and she made her travel in solitude and silence without letting any of them know about it.The reason for the heart break, not like it was very official but there’s a way you must have gone with someone to notice the meaning of every action and reaction that comes from the person. There were countless times she was ignored by Bruno, Bruno certainly had whoever kept him busy and occupied over there at Texas. From his actions then, Enola was able to decipher wha
We are not physically connected and as such, whatever I say stands to be right or worthy to be believed. It's not certain that one will say things the exact way they appeared to be, in as much as your presence wasn't relevant, what he or she wanted, that's what you would be told. Let's take for instance, I'm having an affair with another lady that's not my girlfriend and my girlfriend wasn't in sight, she traveled or I was the one that traveled. She called when the affair was going on, it would take just the comportment of the side girl to convince the main babe that you were sleeping before she woke you up, no matter how suspicious she might seem to be, she wouldn't be sure as well to conclude.Bruno and Enola were physically apart, and no one knew how longer that would be. Alexia and Clinton were physically apart from each other too. Alexia had something to make up to, she was planning on how to meet up with Bruno and at least spend some time with him. But it seemed Bruno wa
Bryan lived a very luxurious life with his influential personality. At his place of work, due to the respect and authority he commanded, he was pictured as being a bossy manager, but that notwithstanding, they still loved him because he treated them well and made sure that the tranquility of the entire workplace is maintained. He lived on the Island, they said that the Island was meant for the rich people, I guess he was a description of what a successful young man was. He had his own apartment and lived alone, he hadn't stayed too long in Nigeria as he was just starting to adapt the conditions of living in Lagos.The day Michelle arrived at his place for the small holiday, it wasn’t too hard for her to locate the place as the address was very distinct and straight forward. She was marveled by what she saw, she knew her longed audio boyfriend was rich but not to the extent of what she saw that day. She saw with her eyes and she believed. Starting from when Bryan went to pick he
We still remember that girl Bruno met inside the plane during his flight back to Texas? Her name was Silvia. In addition to her beauty and other things that were physically intact in her, he had that charisma that most people would long to see in ladies but seemed just few of them had it, Silvia was one of them. Since that day they arrived in texas, Bruno haven't met with her again or even called her to know how she was faring. Silvia on her own side still maintained her own esteem and decided to wait for the call anytime it was coming even if it had to take till eternity to come. So, one day when she was in the office, tiding up to go home after the stressful day's work, an unusual thing happened, a call entered her phone and it was Bruno. “ hi pretty”, Bruno greeted in a way to light her up. “ you called just in time, I just closed from work just now. How are you?” She inquired. “ am trying dear, work is really on me, that’s why I haven’t called since then”, B
Michelle was the only person among the Paragons that we viewed single because there was no peculiar person she dated if not for the affair she had with Bruno. Asides that, we weren't told about her secret date. She has never met that guy physically, they only talked on the phone, did video chats and host of other things without meeting each other. They reason why they haven't met was due to distance and Michelle's mother's illness. But as everything worked out to be good, it was time for her to fix a date for the both of them to meet as the guy told her that it was dependent on her to choose an appropriate time that would suit her.The relationship was just between Michelle and her guy, no other person knew or suspected, they only wondered why she had not interested in getting a man of her own. Enola would insist that she was really a whore, moving from one man to another. She didn’t love Michelle too well or care about how she felt. She was just enduring her because of th
Our lives are like a contract with our creator, of which the day of our death wasn’t specified, the only specification there was that we would live and die someday, the day would not be made known till it comes to pass. The luckiest some of us could get would be knowing that their death were really very close, but the day would be uncertain, sometimes, the moment explains the type of death to be experienced. Some undergoes certain terrible situations before they would finally give up the ghost, some likewise die accidentally making theirs shorter and less painful. Death should be one of the most feared occurrence in someone’s life, to fear death is the first step to careful living. In as much as most of the occupants of the earth strive to life and explore and develop, death would be very certain as it was and is a crucial way for multiplication and innovations. Michelle and Ekaris were home with their parents, enjoying the much time they missed with them when they all trav
Everything had worked on to good in the favor of everyone, the restored health of Mr Fabi's wife had brought back the long lost joy and happiness that eluded their home. Her return, made everyone and everything went back to normal, as they eat together, chat together and do certain things together as well. Most especially on the side of Ekaris and Michelle, they felt ever happy and glad, their mood that period was ruled by the fact that they wouldn't be tied down in the house any longer. They would at least have the freedom to go certain places they wanted and if possible, on a vacation.Michelle had always wanted to take a simple vacation to the major city, she had a friend of hers that lives there. It was that her mother’s situation that made her not to leave even then when there was misunderstanding before them. Now that mum was good to go, she had the absolute freedom to go wherever she wanted and possibly do whatever she wanted also. Ekaris on his own side, had tha
In preparation for the celebration of the successful surgery of their mother and wife, the household of Mr Fabi decided to organize a small dinner between his own family and few friends who included the Paragons because they served a greater purpose in encouraging them throughout the hospital incident. The preparation was made without the wife knowing, it was planned to be a surprise dinner party and thanksgiving party for life restored. No one was to leak the secret to her. It was scheduled to hold on the night of her discharge from the hospital. They planned to delay her discharge till early in the night, as it would be suitable for the dinner party. Everyone kept to the plan especially the issue of not letting her know till she stepped her feet inside the house.It was on Friday evening that Clinton took just the husband to the hospital for easy transportation. Others didn’t come along because they had serious works to do at Mr Fabi’s house. The people that were meant
