LOVE AFFAIRS CHAPTER THIRTEEN
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

Elo was dressed in a yellow and white print gown made from Hollandis cloth material. It was wide from her waist down to her ankles, with puffy sleeves. A ‘gold’ necklace adorned her neck, but she didn’t bother to wear a necklace on this particular day. The white shoes she didn’t bother to wear a wristwatch on this particular visit. The white shoes she wore made her look chic. When she dropped her handkerchief on the, she backed me and requested that I undo her zip.Her shoulder and back were simply smooth and flawless. At that moment, I her ex-boyfriend must’ve been a fool.“Your back is smooth and flawless, Elo.”“Baby, let me cook first, then you can savour it like a Spanish guitar.”We giggled as she removed both arms from the sleeves, followed by her legs. The next minute, she spread the gown on the arm of my chair and stretched her arms. She was still backing me, as I beheld the white lacy brassiere and panty she was wearing. Indeed, it was vanilla spread on chocolate cake.“You

The cold was more severe than it’d been when the rain began. They were few thunderclaps as Elo tiptoed back to my side.“What kind of songs do you have on your laptop computer?”“Songs? All types you know. Rock n’ roll, soul, reggae…”Elo bent and kissed me while I spoke. The next minute, she scrolled down my song folder and suddenly stopped. She looked at me with a mischievous smile, before clicking on ‘play.’The next moment, Hips Don’t Lie, by Shakira, began to play and I was stunned at Elo’s dance steps. The way she moved her hips was unbelievable. Slowly and carefully, my mum’s wrapper slid off her smooth body. Elo’s body moved effortlessly to the rhythm of the music. I couldn’t get my eyes off her hips, waist and buttocks. Her dancing was so mesmerizing. The ‘spell’ of Elo’s dancing upon me suddenly lost effect, the moment the music came to an end.I was about to say something when she sat on my thighs and selected Piano Lessons by R. Kelly, in my music folder. She tried to kiss

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

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
LOVE AFFAIRS CHAPTER THIRTY TWO
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
LOVE AFFAIRS CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT
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
LOVE AFFAIRS CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN
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
