LOVE AFFAIRS CHAPTER EIGHT
Memories of Bussy were slowly fading from my mind as academic activities continued in the semester. Out of curiousity one certain day, I left my hostel and headed for a cultural event which was organised by the Delta State Students Association. The said event was slated for a Saturday, and I made up my mind to attend it. They were quite a number of students in my class who hailed from Delta State, and most of them were present at the event. They were dance troupes, masquerades, traditional fashion display, cuisine exhibition, meet and greet and announcement of the incoming and outgoing exco members. It was an interesting event and I caught Aurelia laughing heartily at the event. The cultural event extended into the night, and I decided to leave the venue. Some metres from the field, I saw two chocolate-skinned girls trudging across the field. I hurried towards them, and waited until one of them left the former and exited the large field. I caught up with the lone girl seconds later and

“I promise never to leave you or break your heart, Elo”. I was surprised when she wiped a tear off her right eye.“What is it, Elo? Please stop crying”.“I’m not crying, just feeling a surge of emotions. I know you’re a nice guy, but please, if you’re gonna hurt me, do not let me know, okay?”“Elo, come on, look at me… I’ll never hurt you, okay?” She soon pulled out her mobile phone from her trouser pocket and swiped while she sniffled.“Here Pierre, have a look”. Elo handed me her mobile phone, before looking downwards. I took her phone and stared at her former boyfriend’s Facebook page. He was kissing, cuddling and playing with a red-haired Scottish girl in the snow. He was almost as tall as me, and the Scottish girl seemed really happy to be with him.“He left me for Gwendolyn Wallace. No goodbye, no break up, no apology… nothing”.I turned the mobile phone over, until the LCD lights went out. I gently handed the mobile phone to Elo and shook my head at what I just read and heard.

“I hope you like the soup, Pierre?”“Like? I love it, Elo. Where did you learn to cook like this?”“ Well, practice makes perfect, and I spent a lot of time with my mum, Aunts and grandmothers whenever they were cooking”.“I didn’t know fish could taste so good in vegetable”.“Stock fish, crayfish and smoked fish… with the chicken of course”. Elo’s countenance suddenly developed a sad look, as she swallowed a small morsel of garri.“What is it Elo. Did I say or do something offensive?”“No, not all, it’s just that you… well, I would be graduating next year and you’d still be here…”“Come on… brighten up. It’s still a long time away. We’ll keep in touch at every available moment. Please, smile a bit. I hate seeing you sad, baby”.A grin gradually developed on Elo’s face, before picking up a piece of smoked fish from the bowl of soup. She placed it between her teeth, leaving a considerable part exposed and managed to speak.“Come and take”, she managed to say.Slowly, I held onto the ex

“You are not cheap, Elo. You deserve it and much more. Or should I order a container load of it?”“Thank you so much, Pierre. A container, why not make that a nice wedding gift, my love?”“If that’s what you want… then that’s what you’d get baby, baby”.“Kiss me Pierre”, Elo whispered and dropped the perfume on the bed. The weather was cooler, and evening was fast approaching. This I could tell from the second window which faced the road, a large football field and the blue sky. I kissed Elo softly and slowly, while she kept rubbing her body on me seductively. She soon stretched her hand and changed the song that was playing on her mobile phone. A minute later, while Bed by J. Halliday was playing on Elo’s mobile phone, Elo took my right hand and stroked her belly with it. Next, she brought it down to her smooth shaven crotch. At that point, I tried to think of what to do, peradventure another bout of menstruation occurred. I stopped kissing her lips and watched her body jerk slightly

When the romantic movie ended forty minutes later, I was more than relieved, but didn’t let Elo realize that I disliked watching romantic movies.“I really had an awesome time, Elo”, I lied as we walked away from the rows and columns of seats.“It was splendid… felt like St. Valentine’s Day, my love”.I stared at the silver clutch purse she carried, and thought of how lucky I was to be her man.“I want to tell you something, Pierre…” Elo whispered.“Please proceed, my beloved”.Elo brought her mouth to my right ear, with one of her enchanting smiles.“I love you darling”.I squeezed her hand lovingly, as we turned and headed for the tarred road that led to the New Girls Hostel.“Oh my God, Aurelia”.“Elo, Jesus… you’re here?”I was stunned to know that Elo and Aurelia knew each other, and might even be close buddies, but simply remained calm and allowed things to take their ‘natural courses’.“Good evening Pierre… so nice of you to be here”. Aurelia turned to face me with her huge fra

One after the other, the exams came: Commercial law, criminal law, law of torts, family law and political science. I wrote the exams for the law courses and soon forgot about them. I didn’t stress myself about the remaining political science course, because the relevant courses had been dispensed with. Elo’s examination timetable was more complex because all the courses in the four levels were combined.I never told her I had one paper remaining. I simply called her one afternoon when I went to the Temporary Site (T. S.), when I paid her a visit with two dainty black cover shoes. They were packaged, well wrapped and concealed in a cellophane bag. The cellophane bag was branded with the inscription of a famous fast food joint in Benin. The original contents of the cellophane were lying inside my small refrigerator.I walked to the Department of Physiology and kept staring at the flowers and grasses around the sidewalks. I saw some statues and soon remembered my wing chun dummy back in

CHAPTER FOURTEENWhen I arrived at this particular book shop, the people who were around it were surprised. It was rare for a student to be visiting a bookshop when the session was almost coming at the end. The shopkeeper looked at me with suspicion, and I wished I had some of my ‘Crown Prince’s Aides’ at that moment. They’d have helped to instil the fear of God into him.“What particular book are you looking for sir?”.“Give me that 2009 Guinness Book of World Records…” I walked into the inner part of the book shop and excused myself after I belched.“This one is Six Thousand Naira”.“If you interrupt mw again, you won’t like what I’ll do to you…” The shopkeeper saw my countenance and left me alone, before going to fetch cellophane bag. He picked up the 2009 Guinness Book of World Records and bagged it, and waited patiently for me to pick another book. I soon picked The Family by Mario Puzo and Carol Gino. I was handing the novel to the shopkeeper, who was already with a calcula

Two hours later, I lay on my bed watching The Expendables movie on my Dell laptop computer when Elo called me. She was through with her exams, and was excited to hear my voice. I remembered what Patt had told me about girls in the university and decided not to make reference to it in our conversation.“Hello Baby… oh my God, I’ve missed your voice.”“Elo darling, what’s happening?”“I’m so happy my love… finally done with my exams.”That’s great…”“I know… and I’ll be coming around tomorrow as promised. I’m so excited.”“Vanilla spread on chocolate cake.”“Pierre, you haven’t forgotten?” Elo giggled loudly.“No, I haven’t forgotten?”“Tomorrow is my day, Pierre… Please do not forget.”“Elo baby, you know I won’t.” I smiled and recollected the menstruation fiasco. I’d definitely not forgotten, because my small refrigerator was stocked with processed foods, snacks, canned and packed drinks.“Hope you’ve eaten?”“I’ll eat later, once I finish watching this movie, honey.”“Alright… what

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
LOVE AFFAIRS CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE
“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
