LOVE AFFAIRS CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
I felt like taking photos of Elo, when she took off her shower cap and swung her braided hair sideways.“I’m sorry for making you eat late, Pierre. Hope you won’t report me to your mum?”“There’s no need to… see her face over there. She’s already seen everything.”Elo laughed and buried her face on my chest. I fell in love with her every moment. She soon picked up one of my Arabian perfumes, and sprayed it on her wrists, neck, sides and armpit regions.“Spread the mat so we can eat.” I ignored her and stood by the window. They were a couple of cars driving the wet roads. I opened the window slightly, and a gust of chilly wind blew inside. Elo tiptoed towards me and stood in front of me. The Arabian perfume was soon around the entire room, and Elo was soon captivated by the darkness and dotted lights.“Isn’t it beautiful, Elo?”“Of course, it is… hold me Pierre,” Elo whispered. Her face looked more attractive without any make up on it. She was a true African beauty.“So, this is what a

“Mummy, that bastard just left me abruptly… and was soon with one Scottish girl called Gwendolyn.” Elo fumed.“Listen to me, you are my daughter, and the last thing I’ll do is to mislead my own daughter.”“So, what does he want from me?”“His mother sat with me last week for hours, and tabled everything out, Elo.”“His mother should go and meet Gwendolyn’s mother and not you, because, as far as I’m concerned…”“Shut up and listen to me, Elo. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity.”“I’m listening.”“Samson is deeply sorry for what happened, and would be coming to Nigeria next week. His father and your current Vice Chancellor were former course mates and buddies at the University of Benin, so he will assist him with…”“Assist him with what?” Elo asked in a bout of mirthless laughter.“Assist him in speeding up the process to get your results ready, to enable you get transferred to Robert Gordon University.”“Robert Gordon… listen mummy, I’m in 300level and I’m not…”“Listen to me Elo

On the third day of our arrival in the Nigerian capital, I decided to pay Elo an unscheduled visit. I was having a negative feeling about the whole thing, even though everyone knew how impeccable Sabiu was a s a detective. Our convoy drivers parked beside a hair dressing saloon and my mum went in to sit and wait for me. I took a left turn and walked past two fenced plots before I stood in front of Elo’s father’s house.The house had a black gate, with green flowers near the pedestrian walkway. A crazy idea popped up in my head, the moment I knocked thrice on the black gate.“Good evening sir, how may I help you?” A tall light-skinned security guard opened the pedestrian section of the gate, and stared suspiciously at me.“Good evening, my name is Caleb Ishiekwene and I’m looking for Elo.”“And who may you be, sir?”“Oh, my apologies.” I said with a quick smile.“I’m the President of the Delta State Students Association at Igbinedion University Okada. I’m trying to confirm Elo’s identi

While A. J. Baby maintained her stance on the ‘testing’ issue, Davi soon involved his elder sister in the issue, and possibly, to prevail on A. J. Baby, to change her mind. One particular day, Davi took A. J. Baby to an eatery where he re-ignited the issue. They sat at the extreme corner of the large colourful hall, and paid no attention only to the other customers who came in and sat down to eat, or exited the fast food restaurant. It was a weekend and both lovebirds had all the time in the world. I’ve always been unable to point at any cogent reason as to why A. J. Baby never breathed a word of her ‘predicament’ involving Davi with Talia.“How’s the weekend going, my love?”“The weekend’s great.” A. J. Baby replied and stared through the large windows.“You’ve hardly touched your food,”Davi whispered.“Must I eat at the same pace like you?” A. J. Baby snapped.“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it like that…”“Of course, you didn’t,” A. J. Baby fumed before taking a sip of the Coca Cola beve

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWOThe next day, I went to a bookshop in town to purchase some relevant textbooks for the courses I’d be offering in 400 Level. I returned almost two hours later, and was relaxing inside a sitting room adjacent the main throne room when it began to happen. On the walls in the room were a massive family portrait, and other smaller individual pictures. In the family portrait, Inikpi was wearing a traditional turquoise print, with a silvery veil over her shoulders and the upper part of her body. I was staring at Inikpi’s enchanting smile when her face ‘transformed’ into Ghan’s face.I was immediately rattled on the Italian sofa I was relaxing on. The only sound inside the room emanated from the LG split unit air conditioner. I was the only one inside this particular room, why Gahn was taking over my senses. I rose to my feet, shut my eyes and and opened them again. I stared at the painting again and opened my mouth in shock.All the girls and women in the family portrait

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREEHalee was so relaxed as she flipped the pages of her lecture note and textbook at the same time.“Here, this one.” Halee whispered and handed her law of evidence to me. I received it and gave her a review of the particular topic and sub-topic. She listened with rapt attention, and I avoided her eyes and mascara. Thereafter, she asked several questions pertaining to the topic and I answered them all. They were several students thronging around the huts the next hour, and I silently prayed that Halee would not allow herself to be distracted. For the next two hours, I answered questions from Halee’s notebook and textbook. When darkness began to creep in, Halee drew closer to me and I inhaled her mild perfume. The bulbs in the hut where we were weren’t too bright, and Halee seemed happy and comfortable about that singular fact. “Any oth

I could hear my mum laughing heartily over the phone. Maybe I sounded funny, but I was not going to mention anything about Bussy, Elo or even Pre.“Well, in that case, I’ll give Inikpi my blessings to find a suitable damsel for my beloved son at the right time.”I breathed deeply and fixed my gaze on a busty girl who was wearing a pair of jean bum shorts, and a yellow top.“That won’t be necessary mum… when he time is right, my heart would know and find what it wants, and love who it wants to llove. So, kindly drop the matchmaking ideas.”“Are you sure, baby?”“Yes, I’m sure… and I’m not angry with you over your suggestion.”“Okay… but you should know it’s because I love you, and that you’re my only son… that’s why I’m thinking in that direction.”“I know mum, I certainly do.”The next second, I received seven kisses from my mum through my mobile phone before she ended the phone call. I called Patt a afterwards, and his phone rang without any response. When I sent a text message to hi

“So, where is this stroll taking place?”“Just come to the Chills Restaurant later in the evening. We’d be waiting for you.”“Alright, but I have to freshen up a bit.”I thought about what Patt had said about not being married, and sleeping with as many girls as possible. Although I didn’t align myself with the latter, I had to admit that he was right about the former. Pre had agreed to befriend me and I didn’t want to hurt her, or to be seen as an easily-manipulated individual.After my experiences with Bussy and Elo, I made up my mind to be more cautious with the opposite sex. I resolved to befriend girls without any shred or modicum of emotion. Pre was beautiful, innocent and a virgin and I hated the thought of breaking her heart. Later, while I was finishing the last stick of French fries in a small pack, I received a text message from Pre. It read:Peace be unto you Brother P. A. Kindly read and meditate upon Isa 28:16 and Eccl 3:11My Bible was nearby, so I immediately opened it

LOVE AFFAIRS CHAPTER THIRTY THREE
I almost blushed at Gahn’s last statement, and soon began to wonder if all ladies thanked the man who (tenderly) deflowered them.“Goodnight Gahn… I love you.”I heard Gahn kissing me through the phone before ending the phone call. I picked up a small box of chocolates, lay on my bed and stared at the ceiling while dropping the cubes of chocolate into my mouth. ________________________________A lawyer once said that every lawyer must be ready and know how to lie on impulse, and in an ‘emergency.’ I smiled at the lie about getting some things from Uselu for my mum. I was standing in front of my hostel room and watching a group of male students playing football on the large field facing my hostel block when a taxi cab drove towards me. I stared at the driver and the occupant in the back seat. The face looked familiar in the distance, and I smiled when the taxi cab slowed down and parked near me.“Pre, what a wonderful surprise.” I walked towards the back se

I was admiring a moving line of soldier ants near the fence of the New Girls hostel, when I beheld Aurelia, Tee and a handful of my female course mates. The distance between us was up to ten meters, but they didn’t notice me, and even if they did, they didn’t behave as though they did. They bought barbecued beef, noodles, biscuits, soft drinks, toasted bread and eggs, sandwiches and bottles of water.I turned and looked away from the soldier ants before crossing my legs. I was sneezing the next moment when A. J. Baby walked towards me in confident and dainty steps.“Good evening Pierre.”“Good evening A. J. Baby, how was your day?”“Fine, fine, fine.” A. J. Baby responded in a deep voice while looking around suspiciously. She wasn’t the type who was into make-up and cosmetics, but I was amused to see her lips adorned with lip gloss on this particular evening.“Hope you’re hearing from your parents?” I asked, as several female students poured out of New Girls hostel gate, in skimpy and

I returned from lectures some days later and had lunch, before proceeding too study my notes from the day’s lecture. It was past seven in the evening that same day when I decided to go jogging. I jogged around the field facing my hostel lock before heading to New Girls hostel. From New Girls hostel, I continued towards the roundabout and before taking a break at the Chills restaurant. I walked inside the restaurant, purchased a small bottle of water and sipped it in small amounts.I’d barely sat on one of the stools for a minute when I heard the familiar voice and giggle of one of my female course mates. I took another sip and placed the bottle of water gingerly on the granite bar. The voice and giggle were unmistakable. I turned and saw Hailee sitting on the right thigh of a tall and light-skinned male student. He had a large amount of hair on his head, and Hailee stroked it with her fingers at intervals. She wrapped her black turban in the same manner she’d wrapped it that fateful n
LOVE AFFAIRS CHAPTER THIRTY
I pocketed my mobile phone and headed to a nearby sandwich and noodle joint to get dinner. In less than twenty minutes, I’d arrived at the joint and placed my order, while several cars sped behind me.I thought about Patt, Laurie and her panty incident. Although it was weird and funny to think that Laurie still saw Patt after that particular incident, I simply concluded that Laurie had very poor taste in her choice of male companions.So Some minutes later, I carried my packaged noodles back to my hostel room when my mobile phone began to ring. Initially, I thought it was A. J. Baby, but was surprised when I eventually brought my mobile phone to my face to check the caller Id. It was an MTN number that wasn’t saved in my contact list. I answered the call and discovered it was Pre’s younger sister – Tee.“Hello Pierre, this is Tee speaking.”“Hello Tee, how’s the evening going?”“The evening is cool. Listen, I need to get some clarifications from you about my sister…”“What are you dri

“Oh, scorpion…” A. J. Baby’s countenance changed immediately, and she suddenly felt ashamed of trying to slap me. “Is that how you slap people at the slightest pretext?” I rose to my feet while A. J. Baby began to stammer in shock, surprise and embarrassment.“It’s getting late. Let me see you off to your hostel… come on.”“Sure…” A. J. Baby looked downward, probably thinking of what to say. She must’ve thought that I was attempting to harass her sexually. We came down from the roundabout, and walked to the New Girls hostel in silence.“See you on Monday, then.”“Good night Pierre. I’m sorry about the way I reacted. It’s just that…”“Skip it, don’t worry. I understand.”My hands went into my trouser pocket, as I turned and began to walk away from her. I’d barely walked three steps when I heard A. J. Baby’s deep voice behind me.“Please, wait. Please do not tell any of our course mates about what I did…”“It’s okay,” I said with a smile. “Nice perfect guys don’t snitch.”“Thanks.” The

My heart almost jumped out of my mouth as I heard Gahn’s last statement. I thought of Bussy, Elo, A. J. Baby and Pre.“I’m fine Gahn. It’s just that Patt must’ve done something bad which I do not know yet, but might involve a girl.”“Anyways, I’ll need your razor-sharp brilliance to quickly edit something at the business centre.”We took a short cut through a green field and headed for the business centre. Students weren’t much, as several of them had travelled that morning to several destinations. Gahn soon settled down to a desktop computer and plugged in a flash drive into the USB slot of the computer’s CPU. Within seconds, I stared a at a Pharmacology paper on the screen.“Kindly help me edit… for grammatical errors and anything that should or shouldn’t be there.”“I knew I couldn’t refuse Gahn’s request even if I tried to. Her eyes, cheeks, lips and smile paralyzed any form of resistanceI might have possessed. Twenty-five minutes later, I rose to my feet to stretch my body, as s

I held Pre’s right hand and ignored a couple of male students who walked into the restaurant. They headed straight to the bar and ordered their meals. Afterwards, they walked out with packed foods in white cellophane bags. Pre’s hand felt tender than they looked, while her nails were neatly filed. At that moment, I wondered what type of hand lotion she was using. “It’s not as if you’re not the kind of guy that I desire in my life, but if you can just be patient till I’m done with schooling…” “Do you feel I could be a form or source of distraction, to your academic work?” “No, not like that. It’s just that before two people from different backgrounds, lifestyles, families etc. can come together and become committed in a relationship,, certain things should be mutually acceptable, agreed upon and in alignment.” “Okay… I’m understanding the angle you’re coming from.” I was slowly reaching for the remaining bottle of Sprite on the table before me, when Pre stood up with lightning sp
LOVE AFFAIRS CHAPTER TWENTY SIX
One particular Thursday afternoon, while we waited for our Political Science lecturer - Mr Lekun, I received an SOS message from Laurie. When I looked around the noisy lecture hall, no one paid me any attention while I got to my feet and went outside.“What is it Laurie?” I asked after she answered the call.“It’s Patt… he has started his craziness and madness again.”“What do you mean by madness and craziness?”“He beat me up this morning after demanding to know who my other boyfriend is.”“You went to his hostel this morning?”“Yes… because he claimed there was an emergency, and he needed to ask me something urgently...”“It’s alright, I’ll talk to him.”“Please, you better do… and tell him to replace my pant.”“Your pant? Did you forget your pant in his room?”“He tore my pant this morning, and forced himself on me.”“I’ll talk to him, and make sure he replaces your torn pant with three new ones. Did he he see you in any uncompromising position, anywhere?”“No, that’s why I said he
