********************************************

" Wake up sleeping beauty, it's time " Meggy said slapping Rains shoulders
Rain stretched before opening her tired eyes reluctantly. Even though she was not a deep sleeper, Meggy's rude way of waking her up from sleep often infuriated her. And when she realized Meggy wouldn't change despite the many times they'd quarrelled about it, she decided to give up. The brushed their teeth and changed into their jogging clothes before stomping out. Rain wore baggy white tracksuits and trainers while Meggy had on a tight tank top on black leggings and a blue Nike sneakers. She preferred slim fitted clothes even though they revealed her folded tummy and thick laps. Rain was starting to read another motive to her obsession for exercise as she always chose this particular streets with its big houses compared to the other less opulent neighborhoods. Rain exercised because she knew very well it's importance to her health but she doubted if Meggy knew the first thing about keeping fit. On countless occasions she had tried to tell her of the big mistakes she was making concerning her health and the wrong approach she's taking to lose weight. "How would you starve yourself by skipping meals only to later binge eat on junks and alcohol? You can't lose weight this way and you're doing great damage to your health" Rain recounted saying to her and she would not forget Meggy's response to her " Shut up you this village girl, what do you know about dieting?" And since then, she learnt to keep her mouth shut indeed.
They jogged up and down along the main lane of Akoka street for the final round then they turned round at the junction into a more narrower route that would lead them back to their hostels. Immediately they passed a fenced bungalow, a dog started barking fiercely, its deep voice like that of a bull dog made it sound as if it was right behind them, sending the girls sprinting and screaming in terror. They kept running in hot flight with no one daring to stop or look back. Along the way, just before the next turn, Meggy screamed in pain and fell, stopping Rain who was ahead in her tracks. She ran back to meet Meggy who was sitting on in bare ground with one hand holding her right foot. Rain saw that they had covered a considerable distance from the compound where the dog had been barking and nobody was in view.

"Sorry, what happened?" Rain asked placing her own hand on the foot Meggy held.

"My.. Leg!" She cried

"Sorry dear sorry, let me take a look.

" Ouuuucch...its hurting badly, did my bone dislodge? "

"No there is no dislocation, I think its just a sprain. She tried to pull her up with so much struggle. C'mon let's get you home".

Rain wound her arm round Meggy's back supporting her as she walked by limping. Then it crept back. The weird feeling of someone watching her. She stopped abruptly and turned to look back, taking a long pause as she watched to see a movement, any noise, but she there was none safe for their heavy breaths and the blaring of vehicles from afar.

" What is it? Meggy asked. The pain suddenly gone from her voice and was now replaced with fear.

"Nothing. I just thought I heard something"

"Jeez, you scared me".

"I'm sorry, let's go. She placed her arms back around Meggy and they continued moving even though she could still feel the eyes boring into their backs.

Chapter 11

Rain could not believe her reflection in the mirror. It was the first time she was dressed in an Indian costume. Back then in the village, whenever there was any occasion that called for a cultural display, Nana would dress her as a Fulani lady and sometimes as the usual Hausa attire. Here she is now, fully dressed in a colorful Indian costume along with it's embellishments. All thanks to Meggy, she thought, who went the extra mile to get these outfit for her. Even though she doesn't watch plenty of Bollywood movies, she appreciated the beauty of her heritage and secretly wishes that one day, she could indeed identify herself with them. She continued to scrutinize herself carefully. The yellow top she had on was cropped, revealing her trim waist the see through saree left nothing to the imagination. But she loved the folds and flowing length of the matching skirt that glittered beneath the transparent, golden saree. The saree cascaded down her raven hair and all the way down before falling at her feet. Meggy abused bright colors but this around she must admit that did well to choose this color, golden-yellow, for it contrasted her olive complexion and fiery cat eyes!

'Is this not too revealing? I feel exposed ". She complained to Meggy who had been smiling all the while behind her in the mirror

" You are looking gorgeous girl, gosh! You're going to cause plenty confusion on campus today o" she said as she clasped the gold bracelet on Rain's left wrist. "Why don't you want the nose ring now? It would look really lovely".

" Noo it will be too much, its already too much as it is, even this I feel like wiping it off" she said pointing to the big black dot on her forehead. "God I look like a caricature".

Meggy just rolled her eyes. " Bush girl wetin you sabi, this makeup that is looking dope, look how I transformed your face eh like a bride as if you don't like it" she poked her behind. "See we're not touching anything on that face o, all those shimmering eyeshadows and contours will not waste, I've told you my own"

"Okay ma, can you dress up now".

"Hmm, I almost forgot can you imagine, your beauty has confused me"

"Cheesy confusionist" Rain joked. "Hurry up abeg'.

" I no blame you, fish!".

"Fowl" Rain added before Meggy entered the bathroom.

Grin grin, Rain's phone rang. It was Nana.
After staring at it till it stopped ringing, the dropped the phone "Not today".

It was just like matriculation but a lot more colorful. The school auditorium was full and many students loitered outside the hall; they were clustered in groups, discussing or taking photos. Heads began to turn as they walked, she heard the'wows' and 'ohmygods' from the admirers and she put her head down shyly. Some ladies were taking her photos without asking permission while some complimented and asked her consent before taking the shots.

" Babe are you for real? You are just too beautiful to be real and I love your sweet saree " a lady in skimpy Ankara shots exclaimed playfully.

"Thank you" Rain answered the gorgeous lady, who was the assistant director of socials SUG.

"Girl you're the talk. of. the. town your pictures are already on Instagram. She kept swiping her phones screen. "Even on Twitter too!".

" Uhh, is that a good thing?"

"Are you kidding me this. is. awesome" she dragged each word. "Wait, let me retweet"
It was Rain's turn to roll her eyes. "Can we enter the hall now?"

"Hold on, see my guys! Ah ahn" she grinned and waved a group of guys, leaning on and beside a highlander jeep. "Come let's go"

"No don't worry go ahead, I'll be fine"

"Okay dear, have fun" she announced and left.

After some few seconds, a dark looking guy came approaching, towards where she was standing. He had a small frame and v-shaped face and he wore a white agbada and dark sun shades.

He came closer and she immediately noticed the plain wallpaper background on the phone he held beside his ears, obviously pretending to be making a phone call.

"Hello" he said casually

"Hi" she smiled back.
"I've been watching you from over there, beside my car and I must say you are incredibly beautiful. Uh, don't mind me my name is Tony, I'm an engineer. I just finished my masters program here. Actually I'm here to see a friend of mine, I arrived Lagos this morning through a flight" he yapped, dangling a bunch of keys all the while

"I see" she crossed her arms and tilted her head sideways

"A beautiful girl like you, needs someone to take care of her" he winked small. "Let me take care of you, money is not a problem?"

"Really! " she teased, smiling. In as much as his pride was infuriating it kind of amused her. For one, she disliked talking to people who left their sunshades on while conversing. If only he wasn't so proud and impolite, he might have stood a chance, she thought. He was definitely not her type but today, she was in a light spirit and didn't feel like being too uptight. She could even consider a date with someone cute.
Just then, she caught a glimpse of the figure. Through Tony's dark shades, there he was standing. The black hood, his build and fixed gaze made him stood apart from the others, giving him away. She straightened and peered into the shades for a closer look, he was still standing, unmoved, almost like a statue. She wasn't hallucinating someone is indeed following her. His face was still not clear but she was felt so sure, it was him.

"Hello hey" Tony waved a hand across her face.

"Oh I'm sorry, would you please excuse me, I have to go. She didn't wait for him to answer before adding, " it was nice meeting you Tony. She turned just in time to catch him dart into the small crowd, who were watching a masquerade perform.
She followed swiftly with same speed, swiveling through the cheering crowd. He turned by the next corner and she followed, increasing her steps, one hand held her long skirt up.
Now they were behind the department of works building and he was only several inches away.
"Stop right there!" She ordered and was surprised when he obeyed instantly.
Then he turned to face her squarely. "Hi Rain" he said taking off his hood.

"Wait a minute..I know you! Segun? Right?"

"Yes, you remember".
" of course I do. What are you doing here?" When he made no response, she knew the answer, with shock she added "oh no, it's you, you've been the one following me! Why?"

" Okay, first of all calm down, you have to trust me".

" I've been having problems with that lately "

"With your grandma, I know"

Her brows shot up. "How in hell did you know that?"

"I know so many things about you Rain"

"Talk to me, how is that so? What do you know?"

"That you're my sister".

Chapter 12


Meggy had always been a lucky girl, she didn't have the kind of face you'd see on magazine covers and her almost obese physique isn't the best thing she loves about herself even though she brags in her size calling herself BBB- big bold & beautiful. She wasn't one to feel inferior about her body rather she teases the skinnier girls often referring to them as bones, spaghetti or paper. She firmly believed and preached that men love girls with flesh not bones.
People sometimes marvelled at how easily she had her way with men. But then, what she lacked in looked she made up for in her charms. One time a grown up lady, a lecturer, came asking her for advice on issues concerning her sex life. Meggy listened with rapt attention before she began to proffer solutions like a pro.

"You know what makes sex sweetest? A tight and moist VJ. Tachieve this, tell your man to be more patient with the pre-intimacy so that the place will warm up" she lowered her head and continued almost whispering "Take plenty of watermelon or eat coconut and datepalm, together regularly, really keeps it moist. Trust me when you try it you'll come back and thank me".

" Okay okay " the lady nodded repeatedly. "I'll try it but is that all?"

"Ah no now, you want me to tell you everything at once? No, we'll take it one step at a time. Just carry out this one assignment first then when you come back you more, the tips are inexhaustible".

" okay then, I hope it works. I'll keep you updated"
"No problem. All the best"
The lady thanked her and left.

Meggy adjusted her short black dress and admired herself in the mirror. She found it difficult to breathe as the waist trainer she wore beneath was too tight. She lavished an expensive perfume upon her creamy skin and dress. Rain held her nose together, the fragrance seemed to irritate her.
"Another date eh? Rain asked her roommate who was sneezing into a handkerchief.
" Yea and this is a big one, he's been ignoring my green lights since the beginning of the semester " she said and added more powder unto her flat nose. Her seedy eyes laced under false lashes glancing at Rain. "Don't wait up for me okay, how do I look? Or don't bother.
Rain shook her head " you remember we have Obasi's test tomorrow have you prepared?"

"Right on it" she grinned mischievously. "Alright be a good girl see you tomorrow". She said and left.
" Stay safe." Rain shouted after her.

She got to the hotel Dr. Obasi directed her to and catwalked to the reception. Her heels clinking on the tiled floor, a silver purse firmly clutched at her sides.
"I'm here to see Dr. Obasi please. She flashed a blinding smile, the whiteness of her teeth sparkled against the red shiny lipstick.
"Okay, here's the key, room 47, first floor. Meggy thanked her and left for the elevator.
She slid the key into the door and entered. The room was classic and smelled of lavender. The plentiful blankets and voluptuous pillows on the bed called out to her. She let herself fall onto it it before bringing out her phone to dial the doctors number.
Then she heard him call from the bathroom. She turned and saw him standing in front of the bathroom door in a towel, wet from his rotund belly to his feet.
" You kept me waiting " he said a bit milder than his usually harsh tone.
"Forgive me your majesty, I had to take extra time to look beautiful for you" she winked and bit her lip.
He smiled getting the gesture "give me just a minute" he said and went back into the bathroom.
"Need a help sir I've been told I'm excellent at back scrubbing" she waited for response when none came, she tiptoed to the bathroom door and bent to peep at what he was doing. Then she saw him standing in front of a mirror swallowing a tablet she guessed was Viagra. She held her mouth to keep from laughing and tiptoed back. "This old men won't kill me" she thought, smiling.

He returned and took a long look at her, savouring the exposed creaminess of her thighs and popping cleavages. She was enjoying the thrilling effect her body had on him, she could tell from the glint in his eyes. So she continued taunting him by fluttering her lashes and fiddling with her cleavages casually.

"I take permission to rip off that dress and tousle that hair of yours" he said huskily.

"Your wish is my command milord"
He jumped on the bed and started unbuckling her strapped heels. "If I'm your lord, then please me" his smirk looked awkward on his lousy lips as he began to caress her soft laps.

"Hm hmm not so fast, first things first" she pulled away and brought out a condom wrap, flashing it before his eyes.
" I like you " he smiled and tore it open. "Let me" the rubbery object and unwrapped his towel before sliding it in.
"I hope you have more of this, cos I really don't keep such".

" There's more than enough for the whole " she said, her voice sounding sultry with seduction as she took off her dress.
"What would you have me do for you sir? She asked lacing her voice with fake innocence.
" Take me to heaven with your infamous skills". He replied huskily
