LiteratureTricked! The Lesbian Party Experience Part 1 by PenAStory(op): 1:12pm On Feb 29, 2016
http://penastory.com/2016/02/29/tricked-the-lesbian-party-experience-part-1/

I doubt I would ever forget the night Gbade dragged me from the safety of my bed in the hostel to an all-night party. Gbade was one of those cool guys that could talk to any chick in school and he was cool and handsome enough to have most of them falling for him like dominoes. For some strange reason, of all the cool guys in the university, Gbade picked me to be his best friend. I was just your random, lanky nerd that was more interested in books than boobs or booze. I was a straight A’s student with a sky high C.G.P.A and everybody couldn’t stop talking about my bright future. Our friendship was a constant joke among other students because we were as different as chalk and cheese. My friendship with Gbade is not the reason why I am writing this so let me get straight to my story.

It was around 10:15pm when Gbade sauntered into my room with his usual arrogance like he was the son of a king and owned the room. “Oh boy show,” he said with a lazy drawl and closed the book that I had placed in front of me. I was going to protest about how I was just getting to one of the interesting parts of Aminata Sow Falls’ The Beggars Strike but my protest died on my lips because Gbade had already left my side and was standing by the door of the room, a mischievous glint in his eyes. Gbade was usually up to different tricks that although I would rather be left out of, always found myself being dragged into it without my knowing. Like that time he had made us peep through an opening he discovered into the girls’ hostel. Gbade doesn’t even stay in hostel so how he had been able to discover that spot that gave us a good view into the bathing area where some girls bathed openly is still beyond me. Not to mention the other time when he had told me to accompany him to trail a couple he said usually had sex every night at the back of one of the school car parks. Gbade was just that kind of person that has his neck deep in all that is mischievous while I was always the accomplice that allowed my curiosity get the better of me everytime even when I knew we couldn’t be up to any good.

I stood up from my bed and followed Gbade without a word. He led the way out of the hostel to his Toyota Corolla 2012 and asked me to get in, pretending not to hear my question of where we were going as he sped off towards his off-campus apartment. There was a silly grin on his face every time I asked him where we were going or what was going on. His grin would have easily rivalled that of someone who had just been told he won a million dollars lottery ticket. But Gbade wouldn’t be grinning that excitedly if he had just won the lottery, his father is easily one of the richest men in the country, I mean real rich, the type that we like to call stinking rich. Money didn’t mean that much to him as he grew up in it.

We got to his apartment and Gbade brought out a suitcase and threw some new clothes at me. “We are going to party lover boy.” I held the clothes dumbly in my hand trying not to stare at the price tag or consider that it was probably what my father made in two years combined together as a security guard. Maybe if I had not been to shocked with the price tag, I might have had warning bell go off in my head about Gbade calling me lover boy in that tone of voice like a groom trying to cajole a reluctant bride on their wedding night.

“We get test tomorrow, where we dey go joor.” I asked stroking the clothes as if by feeling their texture, I could somehow get acquainted to them.

“You too dey ask plenty question, we are getting late, get dressed and I would explain on our way, you can wear one of my shoes with the cloth” it was typical of Gbade to be typical till he got me to a stage he knew I couldn’t back out so I dressed up and waited for my master-friend to give the next order.

“Hope you know the time is late, it is almost midnight and I can’t club if that is what you are thinking, I get test for PHY 254 oh.” Gbade’s only response was an exasperated sound as he buckled his belt and checked his reflection in the mirror before grabbing the car keys from where he had dropped them when he was entering the bathroom.

It was when we were far away from the safety of his Akoka apartment and somewhere on the third mainland bridge that Gbade finally informed me we were going to Ajah. I gulped down my hysteria and tried not to panic. Ajah? At 11:46pm.

“Shey you know you don dey craze? Which kind waka be this na. What is happening at Ajah, if I knew we were going this far, I swear, I won’t have bothered following you.” He only laughed and turned on the car stereo, whistling with that excitement of a lottery winner again. I sighed and prayed silently that whatever suicide mission Gbade had us on, I got back to my room in one piece and in good condition for my test that I was supposed to be studying for. For how long he drove, I do not know but suddenly he was slowing down the car and I read Crown Gate Estate.

One of the security men opened the gate for us after speaking to whoever it was that Gbade dialed on his cellphone to speak to and soon we were driving into a big compound. That was when my adventures for the night began as Gbade parked the car and with a gleeful expression on his face said, “welcome to a lesbian party boyfriend, better behave, I hear say these girls can fight more than boys. We are two gay boys attending so follow my lead and we would get access to some free boobs and toy with some good pussy so long as they think we are queer.”

Eyes like twin supernovae

That attract your eyes like a TV

X:

Drawing me to her like a loaded lodestone

I’m a puppet, pulled by her eyes as fine as a gemstone

X:

Inciting divine breaks in the rhythm of my heart

Getting closer, and no person or power can pull us apart

Apart from the part where we collide

Me acting like a coward, you like a child

S:

We become children of charmed camaraderie

Sharing coffee of childhood from the mug of memory

Two lives tied till same death

Two souls sharing same breath

S:

Shackled souls, finding freedom and fun in fetters

Standing against the howling hurricane of haters

X:

As obstinate as a fallen dove

Prepared without parachutes to fall in love

LiteratureAn Unseen Erotic Poem by PenAStory(op): 2:10pm On Feb 25, 2016
http://penastory.com/2016/02/25/an-unseen-erotic-poem-samson-oloyede/

Like a mist under a door
Like a smog in the air
He watched her walk away
Till his eyes burned rainbow.

He murdered sleep
She comatosed slumber
Will his little bird come back one day?
His windows have to be open, to see…

The sadomasochistic dove flew in
A brazen damsel
A concupiscent dude
Theirs was an unhealthy hunger
And there, they were
Looking for a reason
Their passion can never be for a season

Every single touch and word
Edged them closer
A fix of a mix of six
Every single inch and stroke…

Her moans- the songs
His groans- the backup
His thrusts- acoustic
Their pants- the rhythm.
The shit is a Sweet Music

A transition unexplainable
Neither here nor there
A sensual height
As high as a Jamaican
Preternatural sensous peaks of bliss

Thick black bubbly onions
Jiggling all over
Like ripples of water
As arrows pierces all its angles
A pinkish dam is broken in Germany
Its juices gushes out achingly
Dripping so hard and fast
A thickish colourless waterfall

His life’s moment- heavenly
This is it all
He wouldn’t mind Mother’s bed call
To bed his Mother on their shallow bed

LiteratureThe Incident (First Clubbing Experience) by PenAStory(op): 11:08am On Feb 25, 2016
http://penastory.com/2016/02/25/the-incident-ajagbe-blessing-oyinkansola/

Her heart was beating as they waited for her mum to come. Teju’s mind was filled with a thousand thoughts. How come nothing happened to her? Not even a scratch. She could have died but she was still alive. Did God really love her that much? The cry of Akin brought her back to reality. She tried to calm him down by telling him that everything was going to be okay but even the way she sounded wasn’t convincing enough. She knew she was in serious trouble with her mum. This was not how she imagined that this night would turn out to be. How she wished she could go back to the beginning and change everything.

Teju was in her room when she got a text from Akin inviting her to a party that he was going to tonight and telling her that she had to go because they rarely went out together. Akin was the guy Teju had been dating for the past three months. Only her best friend and younger sister knew about him and ever since her sister knew, she had been using it to her favour. Like the time she wanted one of Teju’s earrings, she threatened to tell their parents if she didn’t give her. Knowing what her parents could do, Teju had had to give her but that was the price she had to pay to keep the guy she was in love with.

When her mum came back from work, she told her that she was going for one of her coursemate’s birthday party. How long was she going to keep lying just to go to places she wanted to? Her best friend, Rachel, didn’t even have to tell her parents where she was going to. As long as she told them she was going out, they would allow her without them thinking twice. The reverse was the case with her. She always had to tell one lie or the other that was good enough or else they wouldn’t let her go out. She wasn’t a kid anymore. She had thought that when she turned eighteen, things were going to change but they were still the way they always were.

Her mum at first hesitated on her going but after enough pleading, she grudgingly said that she could go but that she had to be back before eight. At least she gave her till eight this time. Other times it was six. It was never past six until now. Dressed in a black jeans and a cream top, Teju was ready to go. She had already told her mum that one of her course mates was coming to pick her up. Thankfully, her mum didn’t bother to get to know the person. If her dad didn’t travel, he would have demanded to see the person she was going out with.

The party was held at Haven Nightclub. Akin introduced her to his friends who were around and they all kept saying that she was beautiful.

While Akin was chatting with his friends, Teju sat at the bar, sipping her lemonade drink. So this was what a club was like. It wasn’t that great like people projected it to be. She felt so out of place. The loud music, dancing and drinking wasn’t her thing. At a corner, she saw some people inhaling something from a long cylinder. What kind of party was this? At that moment she badly wanted to go home. She looked at the spot Akin was standing and noticed that he wasn’t there.

“Looking for me?” She turned to her side to see a smiling Akin. “I want to go home,” she said. “Not before we dance,” he tried to pull her up but she refused. He questioned her as to why she wanted to leave when the party was only getting started? She explained to him that she wasn’t feeling well and needed some rest. She told him that he could come back after he had dropped her at home. As they got to his brown Ford car, she noticed something strange about him. It took him close to two minutes to open the car because his keys kept falling from his hand. Was he drunk? She never took him to be a drinker. How was he going to drive when he couldn’t even open the car successfully? There was no way she was going to let him drive. She was still too young to be below six feet under the ground and so was he. “Are you drunk?” She asked to be sure. He chuckled and replied, “Just because I had one bottle of beer doesn’t mean I’m drunk,” so he did drink. At least now she knew that she wasn’t over thinking things.

Suddenly, she began to see him differently. What other things did he do that she didn’t know about? He could be a fraudster, kidnapper or even a serial killer. She calmed down and told herself that she was only being paranoid. How he convinced her to enter the car was what surprised her. All he did was tell her that she had nothing to worry about. Maybe it was the way he said it that carried so much power or maybe she trusted him too much. Her mind wasn’t as ease at all. With one hand on the steering, he held her hand with his other hand. He could tell that she was nervous from the way she was tensed up. “Relax,” he said. He slotted in a CD and began singing when it started playing just to make her feel better. She laughed not because she was feeling better but because of his horrible baritone voice. He was happy, thinking it had worked. Having his eyes on her, he didn’t notice the dog trying to cross to the other side of the road.

“Watch out!” Teju screamed. The tires of the car made screeching noises as he tried to avoid hitting the animal but he lost control and the car ran into a tree. It took Teju minutes to open her eyes. What just happened? Was she in heaven already or still on planet earth?

“Are you ok?” Akin asked. She nodded, she was okay, other than being in serious trouble, she was okay. She was about to ask him the same question, but his cry prevented her. “What’s wrong?”

“I can’t feel my legs,” he told her. She didn’t know what she was supposed to do. It was then that she realized that she should have paid more attention to her Physical and Health Education class. What was she supposed to do? It didn’t look like there was anyone around. She brought out her phone and dialed the only person’s number that came to her head.

“Who are you calling?” Akin wanted to know.

“My mum”, she replied. “She’s not freaking picking up!”

“You can’t call your mum, you’re going to get in trouble.” Teju was surprised that he was still thinking about her getting into trouble in a situation like this. Was that how much he cared about her? Well, she didn’t have a choice, she was already in trouble anyway. It was on the fifth ring that her mum answered the call.

“Mum…”

Her mum arrived with the paramedics and the police. Akin was put on the stretcher and taken into the van while Teju had to answer series of questions from the policemen. Her mum drove her to the clinic that night to see Akin. Since her mum arrived at the scene, the woman hadn’t said a word to her. When they got to the hospital, the Doctor assured them that Akin was fine, but that he had to use the wheel chair for a while.

“I’m sorry, mum”, Teju apologized when they got home. Her mum told her that she was wasn’t angry only disappointed. She told her to be grateful that she was alive and not even injured. That was the most important. It took Akin two years before he could walk again.

RomanceAdvice Me: I Am In A Long Distance Relationship And Unhappy But I Love Her by PenAStory(op): 8:14am On Feb 25, 2016
http://penastory.com/2016/02/25/advice-me-i-am-in-a-long-distance-relationship-and-unhappy-but-i-love-her/

For 9 months I have been in a relationship with my girlfriend whom I met in Lagos during my internship and we started dating sometime last year. After my internship I went back to school to finish up, now she is back in Lagos. Before I was leaving Lagos we had a heart to conversation that “was she going be comfortable without me when I leave ?” She told me she would so I left, few months later we started having issues from one story to another.

One of the main issues we had was the fact that both of us started feeling unsecured especially her. Now at this point in my life I don’t need something to bother me emotionally. She stopped being who she used to be, now I want to break up with her but at the same time I love her so much but I feel breaking up will help me because it’s pretty much intense at this stage. I have lacked focus all because of a relationship and I have not been happy and am as faithful as I can be despite the fact we are miles away.

So should I break up with her or stay? Because it hasn’t been easy for the past four months and am tired. Please I need your candid advice.

RomanceMy Crazy Bachelor Party Experience (18+) by PenAStory(op): 7:28am On Feb 25, 2016
http://penastory.com/2016/01/20/a-little-something-for-the-groom-18/

It was my bachelor’s eve party and the guys had organized a little something for me. At least that was what Tade had called it. Throughout my years as a bachelor to getting engaged to Jane, I had always prided myself on being a virgin though I rolled in the company of two notorious playboys. I had promised myself that I was going to remain a virgin right until my wedding night but all that changed on the eve of my wedding.

Tade picked me up from work that Friday evening and as he drove down to Richard’s place, he was giving me a sermon on how it was wrong of me to be working a day before my wedding. I told him that Jane didn’t mind and that I was just trying to clear out my desk so that I wouldn’t have to worry about work when we were in Hollywood in Hawaii. When we got to Richard’s, he entered the car in his usual boisterous manner and asked Tade if all was set at the house, a question which Tade answered with a confirmative nod of his head and Richard gave me a wink. They knew that I wasn’t too cool with the idea of the bachelor’s party but since the three of us have been friends for well over ten years now, there was little I could do. They had refused to tell me of where the party was going to be held, all they had said was that it was safe enough for all secrets to die there without Jane ever knowing what went down though I knew I had no intention of doing anything that would need hiding from Jane.

“Relax man, you are going to be alright, it’s just some booze and good pussy,” Richard said with a laugh as he opened a can of Orijin from a small cooler in the back seat, “it’s your bachelor’s eve, don’t you want to tell your children of at least one sin that you committed. It is technically not going to be cheating if you don’t do anything you know.” The meaning of that dawned on me much more later. He continued, “You are not yet married to Jane so you can get into your faithful husband mode starting tomorrow.”

“Well that is not so reassuring coming from a man who has no intentions of getting married. What would you know about cheating?” Richard has two children from two different women and according to him, he was never getting himself into the prison called marriage. According to him, one would he want to fish in the same pond when he could visit as many rivers as he could without guilt. There was just no convincing him that marriage was much more than sex,to Richard, every woman was sex on legs to him.

We got to the apartment in no time and a gateman opened the gate for us. As I got down, Richard motioned for me to stop and said as part of the fun, he and Tade had agreed to blindfold me so that I didn’t freak out. I took one look at their faces and realized that they were serious so I allowed myself to be blindfolded and like a lamb to the slaughter they led me into the house. The party was already in full swing as I could hear Patoranking’s “Girlie O” blasting from a stereo. I was lead to what must have been the centre of the room and then the music volume reduced, I was surprised when I heard Tade’s voice

“Thank you for coming to our very good friend, Chinedu’s bachelor’s party. We the friends of Nedu are however a bit uncomfortable with the idea that our friend is about to get married without knowing the pleasures that comes from a woman so we have decided that we got to teach him how to be a man for Jane.” I reached out and tried to yank the blindfold off my eyes but they were too quick for me, Tade and Richard held me down while someone began to tie me down to the chair I was sitting on. I was going to kill them, at least I believed I thought I was going to kill them.

The music began to play again and then I felt a hot breath fanning across my face, it was soft and held a sweet pleasant smell that I couldn’t place my hands on, it smelt oddly like Jane’s perfume and then I felt someone unbuttoning my shirt. I tried to move but couldn’t, the bastards. They had led me to be humiliated in front of everybody?

“Relax Chinedu, I am only here to make your every fantasy come to life,” a female voice said in my ear. I don’t want my fantasy coming to life I wanted to say but I said nothing as I felt her go behind my chair and a tongue began probing my ear. Her moist tongue felt as if it was curled as it played in my ear while her fingers unbuttoned my shirt. Wait, it wasn’t the same person, there were two of them. There were two women? When my buttons were undone, I felt two fingers run through my chest hair and despite my own protest, I began to feel a stirring in my groin. How was that even possible, I was tied in a room filled with only God knows how many people and I was having an erection?

The soft breath came to my face again and this time the tongue teased itself across my lips while I felt a hand working on my zipper. I tried to turn my head away but a soft palm turned my face back and I found myself allowing myself to be kissed. It had to be the scent, it reminded me of Jane. Her lips were soft and undemanding as she kissed me and her tongue probed my mouth. She explored every corner of my mouth and I felt that stirring in my crotch again before I felt another hand at my dick and then a mouth. She began to kiss the glans with her mouth and f it was possible to have buckled, I am sure I would have buckled. Despite my protestations, I felt my dick growing firm and harder. The girl at my dick rolled her tongue around the tip before my member went into her mouth. This sensation was sensation like I had never felt before and my mouth sought the girl at my mouth with my fervor as my dick came to full erection with the sucking, licking and stroking that was going down on my dick.

Her mouth was traveling up and down the length of my dick over and over again. This was damn insane, I shouldn’t be erect, I shouldn’t be enjoying it but alas I was. She was alternating between licking and sucking and for the first time since getting tied up, I wished I was free not to make my escape but to touch something but I was tired and the girls kept on doing the work. The girl at my dick then did something that surprised me even more, she went to work on my balls. She proceeded to lick my balls while her hand jerked on the shaft of my dick. I groaned with pleasure, although I was a virgin, I had jerked myself a couple of times before now but having someone else do it was a totally new experience. The girl kissing me suddenly pulled away and spread my shirt apart and began licking and sucking on my beefy abs with her fingers rubbing up and down the sides of my body. I couldn’t take this anymore I began, threw my head back as I tried to get as much of my dick into the girl sucking me and she must have felt that twitching sensation because just as I was about to cum, her mouth left my dick and her hand went back to jerking me even as I screamed in climax.

I suddenly felt embarrassed, that had just happened in front of other people and as if sensing my new embarrassment, one of the girls whispered to me, don’t worry, we were alone as she undid my blindfold. It was Lydia, Jane’s best friend but I never got to see the face of the other girl as she was already closing the door behind her. Lydia dressed pulled up my trouser and untied my hands before also walking out the door and I quickly undid the ropes to adjust myself before my crazy friends made their re-entrance.

Appears in all it’s splendor
With freshness that suits the soul
Gladdens the minds of the diligent
Striking a reminder in their hearts
Saying now is the perfect time
Perfect time to cast the dice

Walks right in with amazing ideas,
While the bloom is still moist
Dripping with dew from the skies
The prudent mind conjure ideas
Setting the pace with focused mind
Remembering the One in charge of time
Knowing He’ll be found if sought early

Before the eagle leave it’s nest
Soaring away in all it’s strength
Taking after diligence
Baking ideas adroitly
Nurturing it while its still morning
Then sit back with my mind at peace
Watching my ideas evolve so real

RomanceThe Virgin, A Shower And Valentine’s Day ( Erotica 18+) by PenAStory(op): 11:05am On Feb 24, 2016
http://penastory.com/2016/02/24/the-virgin-a-shower-and-valentines-day-18/

Sola had called earlier the day before valentine to say that she was not going to be available for the Valentine outing that we had been planning. She had to go see her aunt in Ibadan for some important family matter that could not be postponed. I tried to hide my disappointment as I prepared myself for a boring valentine day. It was going to be church and back to the lonely house. Valentine morning came and I found was still disappointed that I wasn’t going to be spending the day with her. I didn’t need a special day to be with her but I am not one of those pretentious people that try not to celebrate when others do. There is nothing wrong with simply setting aside a day to make it all about your lover.

I dressed in my cream-coloured suit and pastel pink shirt before heading out to church for the early morning service, as one of the workers in church, I had to be there early. For some weird reason, I was not particularly feeling the Pastor’s sermon that day and decided to head back home after telling the head of my department that I wasn’t feeling too well. To say I was surprised when lo and behold, Sola was at my apartment. She has a key to my apartment so it was no surprise that she had let herself in. what surprised me was that she was cooking. She had on a loose fitting gown that bellowed around her as she moved towards me and planted a soft kiss on my lips. I stood there in shock, not sure I had entered the right apartment, and if I had, was this my Sola. Sola never cooked, we ate out. What was that smile on her face and what was that sweet aroma wafting from the kitchen?

“Happy Valentine’s day honey. I wasn’t expecting you to be back so early,” she said with a pout “now you have ruined my surprise, the food is not yet ready.” On several occasions, we had quarreled about her lack of disposition to cooking so this was easily a sweet gesture on her part. I was touched and as she made to go back into the kitchen, I pulled her back to me and planted a more intimate kiss on her lips. She giggled like an excited schoolgirl while I went into my bedroom to change into more comfortable clothes. If I had thought that cooking a meal was all that Sola had in stock for me, I had another thought coming.

“I need you to go wash off church from you before you sit down at the table,” she said with that giggle again as she began setting the table. I was still too far dazed at her actions that I thought nothing of it and headed towards the bathroom, peeling off the blue jeans that I had changed into.

I stepped into the bathtub and turned on the overhead shower, I had been in when I heard the door open and in she came wearing nothing but a fishnet top. Where had the gown gone to and what was she up to?

“Sola,” I tried to control the lust in my voice as I stared at her braless breasts under the top. One of her nipples was jutting out of the holes of the fishnet top and as she moved into the bathroom, I suddenly realized that I was naked. What happened to our agreement to wait till after marriage? What was Sola doing? I had no time to think as she joined me in the bath and the water splashed on her body.

“Hush,” she said and placed one finger on my lips before lowering her head to kiss my lips. Sola would never know that although I never tried to pressure her to have sex, I was getting it outside but as our marriage drew closer, I had begun to practice being a faithful married man by abstaining from sex. All thoughts of sexual immorality that Pastor Toro had been preaching earlier that day flew out of my head as Sola’s mouth descended on mine. Her breath was hot against mine and I pulled her closer to me, she pushed away gently. She had other plans.

She took my fast growing dick in her hand and stroked the length of it like one that was surprised at what she had done. I stood there, my dick in her hand, getting harder every second, every time her finger traced a vein as if she was exploring, as if she was discovering something new. I felt a wave of warmth wash over me and I quickly rested my back against the bathroom wall to keep myself upright. Her hand left my dick and went to my chest, she splayed her hand on my chest, her fingers playing with the chest hair that was matted with water before she leaned behind me to turn off the shower which I had forgotten was still on. She toyed with with my chest hair for what seemed like an eternity while I tried to make sense of what was going on then I got my answer when her right hand went to her clit and she slowly started playing with herself. I tried to touch her but she pushed me back gently with her left hand.

“Relax,” she said instead. Her actions were slow and she sucked on a finger and slowly pushed it into her pussy, all the while her eyes on me and started finger fucking herself. That should be my dick, I thought to myself and I groaned as I watched her movements become faster the way a lover would increase his pace. My dick was throbbing and pulsing and when she saw the hungry way my eyes followed her movements, she finally grabbed my well hardened cock and tugged playfully. That was it, I was no longer taking commands, I hugged her.

Her lips met mine and I kissed her roughly, this was what she would get for being a tease. I kissed her neck, shoulders, nipples and licked down her tummy. Her breath fanned my back as she darted a tongue into my ear and licked. Bleep, where had she learnt to do all of these things? That was a question to be answered later. I was hopelessly immersed in my blinding desire for her. I turned her on her back and kissed my way down her back, over her ass and my tongue found her smooth snatch. It was like sucking on nectar and honey at the same time and I opened her up with my gentle sucking before pushing my tongue in from behind. She moaned loudly and pushed against me, making as if to bury herself in my face.

The lust I had been holding on to for so long now brimmed to the surface and I spread her legs apart. I could not hold back anymore and lifting her up, I cushioned her against the wall and entered her. I was surprised when I met the resistance and felt her body tense like one in pain. She was a virgin? Holy Bleep? I nuzzled my face between her breasts and went in a bit more gently. Her legs were wrapped around me and when I pushed past her barrier, she moaned in delight, her legs squeezing me in. We could discuss why she had decided to give me her virginity today later on. For now I just wanted to concentrate on the actions of my dick as it went in and out of her. I was sliding in and out of her while she was using her legs as leverage.

I was on a mission and this man could not stop until his mission was complete. She was totally opened now and I began to increase my pace. My thrusts were getting harder and longer and her soft whimpers only seemed to encourage me. One look into her eyes was enough to convince me that I wasn’t hurting her. She felt so amazing as my shaft went in and out, driving like crazy as it if was trying to pound a stubborn nail in place and as I felt my climax building, I found myself bringing her down from her position.

I lay down in the shower not minding that I felt cramped and brought her down with me so that she could sit on my dick. She didn’t need any prompting and began to move on my dick by herself while I urged her on as she rode me. I wanted her to ride me to ecstasy, I wanted her to feel my cum going up her love canal and probably make a baby? At long last, I felt the fountain burst forth and I gushed all my juice into her. Pinching her nipples as my seed spilled out of me and into her while she continued ridding like her life depended on it.

I am not going to bore you with the long talk we had over the food she had cooked but our wedding date has since been shifted to weeks earlier than planned.

RomanceMuch Ado About Valentine by PenAStory(op): 8:08am On Feb 24, 2016
http://penastory.com/2016/02/24/much-ado-about-valentine/

It’s February 14th again and love is in the air. I should be expecting gifts, a long phone call or at least a text; I’m getting none of that. I have no VAL. Last year’s Val’s day was quite different for me. The bestie came over, we got our nails done (in red, of course!), we had a delicious Valentine cake and we spent most of the night at a party. Well I can’t say I was happy on that day, Hector didn’t call or text.

Hector had been my Val for as long as I can remember, although we never spent Val’s day together. He was the perfect val. He’d call as early as possible on Val’s day telling how much he loved me, promise me a book of my choice as my gift (he was a scholar) and sometimes he’d even send money just for Val’s day chills. So all the while I was with bestie last Val’s – at the salon, the party, in the hostel – my heart was with Hector. Every single smile or cheery thing I did that day was fake, very fake and superficial. I was sad and dying on the inside and bestie knew. She knew it was because of Hector but she didn’t say anything, I guess she didn’t want me to start crying again.

See the thing is I woke up on that Saturday, the 14th of February, just like every other Saturday. Bestie was still sleeping. I got up leaving her on the bed and went to the bathroom to wash my face. Next I went to the sitting room to watch TV and that’s when I remembered………. the whole place was literally upside down with pictures of Hector everywhere. I did that the previous day when I was going crazy……. Seeing the pictures I began to remember the events of the previous day and tears started rolling down my eyes, my knees buckled beneath me and I fell to the ground. I picked up his picture, held the frame tightly to my chest as if to hug him one last time but all i felt was wood not Hector. Then I screamed and cried, and screamed again and again and again…… I must have woken bestie because she came from behind me and hugged me tight whilst stroking my hair she kept saying ”its okay”. Then I screamed again and I didn’t stop till my throat was dry and I felt weak, So, yeah, I spent most of my morning crying. I wished I didn’t wake up that morning or the morning of the previous day which happened to be Friday the 13th. I’d heard about Friday the 13th being an evil day on which bad things happened but I’m not superstitious so I never really took it serious. Besides, nothing bad had ever happened to me on any Friday the 13th.

When folklore became reality to me I was dazed, the evil of the day had already occurred before I woke up to say my morning prayer ( not that I pray every morning, but I always made sure to pray on all Friday the 13ths). My Ma woke me that morning and asked me to hug her. I was really sleepy so I hugged her reluctantly and she said ” hug me tighter” and I’m like **sigh, this woman but anyway I held her as tight as my sleepy self could then she whispered in my ear ”Grandpa just died now”
————————————————————————————————————————————— Yeah that’s how I went blank, then a sharp pain in my chest jerked me from my blank state, next I felt myself falling but my Ma grabbed me quickly and tried to help me stand on my own two feet. That’s all I can remember before I went crazy that day.

That’s why Hector didn’t call on vals day or should I say Grandpa Hector…… I never thought he’d leave me so suddenly. I’d planned to buy Chimamanda’s ‘Half of a yellow Sun’ for him as promised – that was supposed to be the first time I’d get him something for Valentine’s. At 91 his love for books had not diminished. After reading ‘The Purple Hibiscus’, he wanted more of Chimamanda’s books. I’d seen the next at least nine years of his life in my mind’s eye and I had planned to make it as memorable as possible and then let go when he clocked 100 but 91 was his limit. I didn’t get a chance to blow his mind with my 9 year plan. I’m not sure he knew how much I loved him……

So this me now, a year later sandwiched between all my biochemistry materials preparing for tomorrow’s exam and trying as much as possible to ignore the significance of today.

What’s Valentine’s day without a Val?

RomanceHow To Get Your Crush To Like You (FOR GIRLS ONLY) by PenAStory(op): 11:06am On Feb 23, 2016
http://penastory.com/2016/02/23/how-to-get-your-crush-to-like-you-for-girls-only-pancho-wealth/

Having a crush can leave you feeling crushed! You feel full of yearnings and longings to spend time with that person who is just so wonderful but they don’t even seem to know you exist. You need to catch their eye as soon as possible. These steps will help you be eye-catching and get noticed by that person, no matter what age you are or what your crush scenario is.

Act like you don’t care. Don’t be clingy or desperate. This will make your crush think you have issues they really don’t want to deal with. Instead, put on an air of cool. If he don’t seem like he wants to talk to you, go talk to someone else. Throw parties and don’t invite him until the last minute. Show him that you have your own life and that your world doesn’t revolve around cataloging every time he so much as sneezes. Let your crush see you with other guys/girls. Let him see you talking to and hanging out with other members of the gender you prefer to date. He needs to see that you have other options and that you know you have other options. This will make you more desirable.

Find common interests. Find things you have in common., this will give you something to talk about but it will also give you something to bond over. You will be friends before you know it and a friendship is much easier to build on. You can compare interests, learn their interests just by paying attention or you can explore the things they like. Who knows, maybe you will find that you really like their taste! Be a good friend. The qualities of a good friend are also the qualities of a good boyfriend or girlfriend so start by being a good friend so that your crush can see what they have to look forward to. They say that the person you date should be your best friend, so it is probably a good idea to set the bar high, right? You can be supportive when they’re feeling down, help them whenever you can, be fun and help them relax, make them laugh (especially when they’re having a bad day), and generally be a good friend.

Create trust. There needs to be trust, in order for real romantic feelings to develop (and stick around). Never reveal a secret he tells you, don’t generally go around telling people his business, and be someone that he can come to with their problems without having to worry about being laughed at or judged. Give him space. Give him the space to go out and do the things that he wants to do. One fear that a lot of people have about dating is that the demand on their time and affection will mean that they won’t be able to hang out with their friends or be on their own as much as they would like, and that they won’t get the time to do the things that they want to do. Give your crush some space and alone time and he will see that you value their happiness above your own.

Flirt. Well, he needs to know that you like him, doesn’t he? Flirt with him and show him that you are definitely interested. This will tell him that he can return your feelings without having to worry as much about rejection. But don’t flirt to much. Maybe give him a reason to think about you but not too early or they will just back away.

Afterwards, if things don’t work out, don’t get discouraged. This doesn’t mean you can’t be friends. Later on, that person may feel like you and finally hit things off. Now, if things are going downhill once your relationship starts, talk to your crush about it. If you think you need a break, tell him. If he finds out that you are being a little shaky but you aren’t being honest about it, the relationship will come to an end. Breakups are the worst, so don’t let that happen to you!

LiteratureLove So Deep by PenAStory(op): 10:34am On Feb 23, 2016
http://penastory.com/2016/02/22/love-so-deep-akindele-nelly-oluwafemi/

One Sunday afternoon after church, I was still seated with my clique. The fragrance from her hair filled the atmosphere just after she had walked past the door, my dilated pupils gazing at her, thoughts ran through my head. She was beautiful, the figment of imaginations. I remember when we were both younger and how I was amazed watching her sing in the choir. Just as I was about walking up to her, I started hearing my own heartbeat pound against my chest like it was going to fall through my rib cage as I felt adrenaline rush through my muscles.

Just as my fingers touched her clothes, she turned and our eyes met. Our eyes met. I think that was the ignition. An ignition we both felt, the beginning of what we didn’t know. It was intense, so intense it just penetrated through our hearts. I have never felt anything that strong. I guess it was infatuation. The sermon was coincidentally on infatuation so I linked it up but it was deeper than what I understood as infatuation from the pastor’s preaching so I got in touch with her.

However, as the weeks rolled by, my infatuation shed its skin and birthed true love. It was so amazing how she me made me realize my dreams. I would stay up all night writing poems about what I felt about her and how magical her voice was. When I was sad, I would smile just after hearing her speak. It was so deep that tears would flow and my paper would be wet and my pen wouldn’t work. It was love so deep. Just to wake up in my dreams and see her again. Then she left for school and I was alone with some group of friends that didn’t know what true love really meant, but those days she was around, they were the best days ever. I love who I am when I am with her, she is my dearest friend, my deepest love.

LiteratureTwenty Episode 7 (A Story Of Lust, Love, Murder And Revenge) by PenAStory(op): 8:13am On Feb 23, 2016
http://penastory.com/2016/02/23/twenty-episode-seven/

Excerpt From Episode 6:

“I don’t remember him having his phone on him when I buried him…” the phone vibrated in her hand and she saw it was a text. Pressing the open button, she read

“Davo, I don do the packaging, your cous don ex the picture. I dey go Abj by morning. No call this number again o,” the text message read.

Read Episode 6: CLICK HERE

She dropped the phone as if it was burning like hot coal and then picked it up again when it clattered to the floor with a jarring sound as it hit the floor before walking hurriedly out of the room. She stood under one of the lights of the hospital ward with utter fear and confusion as millions of questions flooded her mind. Could the text be referring to Matthew? Maryam noticing the way Chioma had rushed out stood up and joined her outside, her own mind worried as to all that what going on, the look of terror on Chioma’s face was unsettling.

‘What is it?’ she asked but Chioma made no response but thrust the phone into her hands. Maryam’s eyes scanned over the text and she suddenly felt cold all over. She looked around her as if excepting someone to jump out at as they stood there, she couldn’t help feel a sense of dread even though they were under a bright light. It was a quarter past three in the middle of the night, bad things were known to happen at night. It suddenly crossed Maryam’s mind that it was a windy night and there were stars twinkling in the sky as if beckoning to them from afar off. The stars were a good sign or were they not?

‘How did your mum meet this man?’ Maryam threw the question to the wind, not looking at Chioma who stood immobile beside her, staring into nothingness, her face twisted with fear and confusion. Chioma did not deign to look at Maryam either as she talked in a low monotonous voice about how her mother had met David shortly after they arrived at Edmund Crescent. How he was one of the many male models but had somehow broken her mother’s walls and they had started an affair despite Chioma’s disapproval.

“I never liked him, there was just something about him that I didn’t like but so long as I could not place my hand on it, mother thought I was just jealous and insecure. Insecure that she might not have my time again. But that wasn’t the case, I just didn’t like him but then I met Matthew too. He and Matthew are cousins and it was funny that I took a fancy to Matthew the minute I met him. He was very nice and sweet to me and I liked him the second I set my eyes on him and ironically it was my mother’s turn not to like the person I was interested in but she is a businesswoman to the core and his good looks meant he was good business for the agency so she learnt to like him, tolerate him is a better word I think. For the sake of the company and maybe David, I don’t know which really but they got along.”

Maryam said nothing, that wasn’t really what she had wanted to know but then Chioma had been through a lot in the last forty-eight hours, who could blame her if she was not thinking coherently?

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

Mrs. Ugochukwu arrived the hospital at dawn that same with a basket of food, snacks and drinks.

‘Mom he’s recovering from an accident, its not like he is dying of starvation,’ Chioma snapped at her mother. Mrs. Ugochukwu gave her a look that clearly said ‘you shouldn’t be talking to me like that’ but she said nothing and went to David. She planted a kiss on his head as she took a seat close to him and began unwrapping some of the things she had brought with her.

‘Did you em.. know that Matthew is em.. Mathew is dead?’ David inquired, his gazed fixed on Chioma even though the question was directed at Mrs. Ugochukwu.

‘Yes dear, I am so sorry, he was such a good kid but you should not be worrying about that. We need you strong and healthy so you can get out of here, the bastards that did these to you must not go unpunished and we would make sure the police launches an investigation into Matthew’s death.’ She caressed his arm as she fed him with her free hand.

Chioma looked at the scene in disgust, trying not to let her mother see her expression. She had deleted the text from David’s phone and written the number of the sender on a piece of prescription paper just before Maryam left very early in the morning. She had left some few minutes after Mrs. Ugochuwku arrived. The scene before her sickened her and Chioma said a hurried goodbye to her mother so that she did not have to continue to suffer the presence of the two lovers She listened as her mother talked about the things she needed her to do at home before handing her cash till she herself could come join her as soon as possible. Chioma was about leaving when she remembered she had not bothered to ask her mother about her trip to Abuja.

‘Did you get the contract?’

‘Well yes I did’ her mother replied with a broad smile. She muttered her congratulations and turned to leave.

She was out of the ward when her phone beeped and she flipped open the phone to read the text message. The blood drained out of her face as she read, ‘Secrets are meant to be kept Chi, if you don’t keep mine, I won’t keep yours. It is better you keep your mouth shut or YOU MIGHT BE NEXT…”

LiteratureHow Sweet Is Your Sin? (A Story Of Fornication In Church) by PenAStory(op): 5:02pm On Feb 22, 2016
http://penastory.com/2016/02/22/how-sweet-is-your-sin/

That Sunday, Nini was excited about her look. Her long hair was a weave, sewn and cut into a fringe. Her complexion had a yellow hue to it, slightly baked with makeup and a shade away from her fair skin. Her black dress was short, but not too short, tight and just a little above her knees exactly where she wanted it. Her stiletto heels was pain to her ankles as she stood by the door for about an hour but she bore the pain for the sake of fashion and glam. She had the tag that read “USHER” clipped to the left side of her upper chest. It was her duty to welcome members and visitors into the household of God with a pleasing smile on her face. She met them all; old and young, happy and moody, neat and ratchet, clumsy and cocky. They passed through her door and she handed them the church bulletin and found them a seat without judgment.

Atanda was in the rear end, in the left corner of the church auditorium to supply melodious beats to the choir’s praise songs through his talking drum. His beats were to make the congregation bask and revel in the sweetness of Jesus and his endless love. He had to wear the same color as the rest of the choir members, red and black, shirt and jeans, too casual and not his style. He would have loved to wear the Dashiki his mom just brought from Nigeria. He had had to cut down his hair, a tall fro-hawk a day before because the pastor had said something about his hairstyle the Sunday before. His ears still held the studs Pastor Toro’s wife did not like, and those tiny jewels splashed silver light against the gold chain around his neck.

The service began, opening prayer, worship, praise, intercessory prayer, announcements then tithes and offering. The choirmaster led the praise songs, the other choristers sang along and the congregation danced. Atanda’s talking drum spoke to them and Nini’s offering basket asked that they dip their hands into their pockets and purses and bless the glory of the Lord with what they have and ten percent of what they earned. Offering time was indeed blessing time. Pastor Toro signaled to the choir master, he halted the music and Atanda retired from his drum. Nini came forward with the basket and Pastor Toro said a prayer. In between the prayer, Atanda saw Nini with her curves straining against the fabric of tight dress, her hips as it swayed maliciously as she approached the pulpit. Her legs, straight, long and sexy teased him in the face. He winked at her and she smiled slightly and took the offering basket from Pastor Toro before retiring to go count how much the church has been blessed with.

He began to think of her, of the last time he had her mouth on his dick. His mind wandered to the last time he had had his hands around her head as she swallowed him. He remembered very well how he had moaned with pleasure.

“How sweet is your sin?” Pastor Toro asked the congregation.

“Very sweet” Atanda thought as he fondled with the drumsticks and more thoughts of Nini’s supple breasts and how they tasted flooded his mind and vision. They tasted sweet, not like sugar, more like honey, natural and fresh, friendly to his lips, fire to his body.

“How sweet is your sin?” Pastor Toro asked again.

“Very sweet” Nini thought as flashbacks of Atanda thrusting in and out of her came to mind. She almost moaned again, at the memory of pleasure of that night, as his hands rubbed her butt, one finger thrusting in and out of her, his eyes looking into hers. That moment had felt great.

“Open your bible to the book of Romans, Chapter six verses 23” Pastor Toro instructed. Atanda read along with the lady in the congregation that read aloud.

”For the wages of sin is death and the gift of God is eternal life,”

“How could Nini’s delicious body be sin?” he asked himself.

“The wages of sin is death,” Pastor Toro reiterated emphatically. Nini stopped thinking of Atanda’s hand squeezing her butts for a second. The word death caught her attention.

“How could that be sin? And the wages of that kind of sin is death? She felt quite the opposite, Atanda in her, on her made, her feel alive.

“The book of Colossians 3:5 says put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry” Pastor Toro read from the New International Version. Atanda stopped listening to Pastor Toro’s message; he turned to Facebook for distraction. Yet his thoughts hung around the last words he heard, “sexual immorality, impurity, lust”.

“It is more of showing Nini some love. Good loving. I love Nini,” he tried to persuade himself. If he called it love and believed it, saw it as more than just getting some ass, more than the squeals of pleasure and moans, it would make it less of a sin. More of two children of God showing love to each other. He did not succeed, even if it was love, he knew fornication was a sin too. His guilt hung around for another second before the newsfeed on his Facebook created the distraction he needed.

“Sin is sin. Sex with Atanda is one of my many sins. I am not ready to quit. The Lord will have mercy upon those he will have mercy upon,” she thought when she remembered the portion of the bible verse that said “the wages of sin is death.” She focused on counting the money in the offering basket and dismissed guilt and all thoughts of Atanda and the sweet sin he brought.

Once upon a time, I knew a god

A lad always about with his shepherd’s rod

By the meadows he wrote his poems

Of cities unknown and strange realms

Mad they called him, not of this world

In him I saw nothing but a god


I knew a god, a poet

His songs comfort to my afflicted soul

Saviour of a depraved mind, my heaven sent

Father saw not the god, sent him to the gallows

I wish your met him then you will know

Why I don’t look forward to the morrow

They took his life by the King’s order

He made no plea as they tore him apart

I knew a god, a poet

But forever gone now to eternal rest

If thou can, do wake him up

For alas I can not wait till the Saviour’s coming

I do not believe their is a manual we all must follow to be noticed, that there is just one road to success. I do not think change should ever be suppressed, I think we can not always find examples for the paths we choose and I definitely do not believe somebody somewhere has gone through everything we are going through. Rather, I believe everyone is unique and I believe in this diversity. I believe you can not always find an example to follow, you are allowed to create your game and its rules. I have seen great things pop out of the unlikely with more result gotten when you are true to you. That to me is just the whole idea of faith.

I believe in the raw you The you that don’t judge yourself with other people’s yardsticks. The you that is not afraid to stand alone, the you that holds your head up high, that will rise after the seventh fall, the you that will touch the world, simply saying, the original you. If there’s a book you really want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet then you must write it but first believe in you because I believe in you.

LiteraturePenastory Love Contest Entry #12 – ENIOLA LONGE by PenAStory(op): 10:15am On Feb 18, 2016
Up and down. Left and right. Over and over again. I can’t really say. It was as though he had done something to me that couldn’t be undone. You know how they say it takes 21 days to unlearn something, I had taken more than 42 days. Still the same. I loved him and there was nothing I could do about it.

Ours wasn’t the conventional story. It had much more emotions, double the pain, and triple the pleasure. Just thinking about it brings a smile to my face, albeit a sad one; a smile nonetheless. I had been a fool in love. Craving his attention, waiting on that phone call. Yearning for his touch!

A bright Sunday afternoon, he came over, boy! was I excited to see him. The day couldn’t get any better. I had a church program to attend later in the evening. So my memory of that day, should not have been what it became. I shouldn’t have asked at that moment, but I did anyway. It was a total rhetoric, considering all that had happened between us.

Watching him lying on my bed, all 6 ft. of him, I asked, ‘How many girlfriends have you had?’ Pretty innocent question, really. I can’t remember exactly, but, there was something off about the way he replied. Picking up on this irregularity, I just had to ask a question I should have asked at the very beginning, before things got so far.

Do you have a girlfriend? LOL! The look on his face said it all. Bewildered at this revelation, I couldn’t feel anything. I just kept on doing my make-up. I really wanted to do something, I’m glad I didn’t. I knew I had to say something, but I was not in the right frame of mind for a confrontation. I just got ready very fast, told him to take his leave and went on to church.

Hannah couldn’t have cried more than I did that night. I could cry as much as I wanted, it was a worship service, so no one bothered me.

How had I not seen through the pretences? I felt as though I had been robbed blind of my emotions by someone who didn’t even deserve it. When I eventually got around to demanding a reason, his excuse? When he met me, he and his girlfriend were on a break. A break! Did I look like an interim girlfriend? Pending the time you made up with the legitimate girlfriend? Me? A side chick. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. I, Kasope had actually been someone’s side chick! I felt like slapping him silly.

As all things in life are, I now recount this experience as a preventive measure for every young girl out there. Love is a beautiful thing. It befuddles your senses. Thus the need to be twice as alert when you’re in love with someone. You see a lot of girls in abusive relationships; sigh! Blame it on love!

Ngozi and I have been married close to seventeen months now. Yes, a year and five months, I was sure I was correct. Definitely sure….
Yet, I couldn’t help sighing as these months flashed by before my very eyes as I slid back and relaxed in the driver’s seat of the Rover, hoping to ease off the day’s tension.
I could see Ngozi’s radiant face again as we pledged our vows…

so beautiful, promising. It seemed unreal, compared to what I go home to every other night now. Maybe it was the auto accident we had a week after our wedding, which confined Ngozi to a wheelchair – I didn’t suffer a single scratch and I was in the front passenger seat, while she drove – and a lifetime of physiotherapeutic sessions (As it is turning out to be – I’m hopeful though). Maybe it was the way she looked at me sometimes, the way she spoke to me like I wasn’t supposed
to be there.
A noise from behind cleared my clouded thoughts, and I checked my side mirror to see why the red convertible behind me was blaring its horns. Obviously, we were in a traffic jam, and everyone else had
found a way to kill time while they waited. Up ahead, some cars had started moving, so I warmed the engine and was soon speeding closer to my destination.
I slowed at an intersection, and turned right cautiously, as a trailer truck earthquaked past in the opposite direction, leaving behind a huge billboard playing some Valentine ad. Of course, I smiled to myself secretly, festive periods or whatever periods Val could be classified along with had a way of uplifting the atmosphere it
surrounds. Like a melodious cacophony, or a rainbow on a monochromatic day….
I finally got home, parked in the garage and went in. I was surprised at the silence that sashed the house – Ngozi is usually watching cable TV every night when I return. I closed the front door gently, and groped for the light switch as usual. What happened next was intimidating… Few metres away from where I stood, another switch popped instead, and revealed lots of miniature pyramid-shaped jasmine bulbs lined out in a pathlike manner. Roses were everywhere, and a soft ballad slowly crescendoed its way into the sacredness.
” Do you like it?” A voice asked.
Then it paused, “Say something.”
Ngozi expertly wheeled herself to where I was, and took my hands.
They were shaking.
“All these months, since our wedding, I have been angry. At God, at death, at life. I neglected you… I found the gift you left this morning when I woke.”
God, I thought, she was going to cry. Her voice was getting raspy.
“…And I realised, you’re my miracle.”
I felt my bladder sending signals to my brain: Empty contents asap!
” I love you, Idowu. I really do. Thank you.” She cried.
Well, I went on my knees and hugged her.

Paula smiled at the stupidity of her Aunt and moved to the other part of the parlour. She just wanted to escape before the fair, overripe, rich guy made another advance towards her. If he did any foolish thing again, she would spill her thoughts – which was terrible. She was glad Biyi was coming. Her Sunday would have been a hell.
‘ Paula’, her sister said, making her turn hurriedly.’ Bro. Biyi is outside’.

‘Oh.’ She said and a big smile laced her face.
Her valentine would make sense. Biyi was full of surprises.
The chance had come to escape the pompous fool, and her never-contented Aunt.
‘Paula, will you now leave him here’
‘Aunty, please don’t let me-‘ she said, hissed and stormed out, banging the door behind her. Her long dark hair flowed behind her, as she ran down the stairs. Her body heaved with happiness.
‘ Biyi.Biyi.’
‘Hmm’, Biyi said. He rested against his black Toyota Camry.
‘Whoa…’ She shouted as she got to the last step. Not minding the drainage in front of her, she jumped on him.
‘You look so happy to see me’, Biyi said.
‘Yes o. Aunty Kenny wants me to start a relationship with Daddy’s friend’s son. They were like, “you are growing old” that I’m a flower. What’s their concern?’
‘Good’, Biyi said, sounding depressed.
‘Good?’
‘I wasn’t talking- See-‘ Biyi said and stood straight. He held her cheeks.
She looked up at him. He was taller than she was. His trimmed beard made her heart lurch for more of him.
‘I think we’ve got to break up’.
Everything went silent. Paula stared at him, and widened her eyes. Her hearing and other senses focused on Biyi.
‘What? Why? What did I do wrong?’
‘It’s not you. It’s not you. It’s just that’. He hissed, released her face, and turned. ‘I just can’t stand you being my girlfriend anymore’.
Her eyes felt as though sands were in them.
Her heartbeat suddenly began to increase tempo. And her body became hotter than before.
‘What did I do?’ She asked, tears flowing down her face. She moved toward him, held his cloth and her breath.
‘It’s not what you’ve done…’ He said, turning,’ It is what you’ve not done. I don’t want you to be my girlfriend anymore’.
He went down on his knee. Her mouth remained opened. Her face was transfixed, not on his face, not on his kneeling position. Rather, her eyes were fixed on his hand. It contained a case and in it was a proposal ring.
‘Will you break up with me as a girlfriend and be my wife?’
The jewel on the ring shone. And she nodded. She nodded again. And she nodded severally.
‘Yes…Yes…You idiot…Yes…’
Tears flowed down her face as she went to hug him. She got the best Valentine gift ever.

“Bzzzzzz!!!…” I slapped my neck in an attempt to kill it. The dreaded mosquito forced me back to reality with it’s annoying buzzing. I was trying to recover from the heavy slap I had given myself when I noticed a dark figure beside the door. I froze in shock and tried to make out what it was. I gained

my senses and made for my torch and pointed at the figure hoping the light rays could act like bullets and send the sinister looking figure violently back to where it came from.

As I switched on the torch, it wasn’t there anymore. Now I’m about to piss on myself. “Who is there?” I inquired. Knowing fully well that I was the only one in my apartment. I began to pray, hoping God would hear my prayer and rid me of this kind of evil imagination or circumstance I feared I was in.

“Hhhhhhhhaaaaaaaa…..Your prayers won’t help you…..” A cold female voice came from beside me. I could see from the corner of my eye the figure was now sitting on my bed. I turned slowly to look at it with shivers running through my spine. I was sweating yet the sweat was freezing. Suddenly a hot evening had become cold, or was it just me? As I was turning my head towards her, so was she. Our eyes met and all I could see were hollow sockets with blood running from them. She looked very familiar even in that horrid state.

Then slowly her lips began to form a smile. Nothing pleasant about that. I couldn’t move. I was petrified as I wished this was a dream I was going to wake up from but no. I have met one of the devil’s demons tonight and it came for me. It came to take my soul.

It began to move closer. Like the distance between us wasn’t enough. I was frozen in that same position already pissing my pants. “Doyin….” I called out. It was Doyin. What does she want from me? I asked her for forgiveness and thought it would have been over then. “Doyin please forgive me…I…I always wanted us to have children but I wasn’t ready…..please….” I said with tears in my eyes now. This thing didn’t have any remorse and was ready to take me to where ever it resides.I closed my eyes hoping it will all end soon when it reached for my ear and whispered “…shhhhhhhhh…you should have never asked for an abortion…..now we are both dead……”

“Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!” I screamed like a mad man only to open my eyes and saw that it was just a bad dream. I checked the time and it was 7am already. I quickly reached for my phone and saw a text from Doyin. “Hey babe, I’m on my way to the hospital for the abortion. I really wish we could keep this baby but I understand you aren’t ready. Will call you when it is over with. Love you forever:”

http://penastory.com/2016/02/17/penastory-love-contest-entry-9-adulwahab-abubakar/

I felt a familiar chill running through my spine as I finished reading the text. “I need to call her immediately. She can’t go through with this.” I said to myself. I tried calling back but her number never seemed to go through. “SHIT!!”

LiteraturePenastory Love Contest Entry #8 – ADENIRAN ADETOLA by PenAStory(op): 8:06am On Feb 17, 2016
http://penastory.com/2016/02/17/penastory-love-contest-entry-8-adeniran-adetola/

Sitting on a high stool at a bar where I am a regular, I sat down reminiscing about the events of the afternoon. Today hadn’t gone as planned at all, instead my fraud was exposed. Well, that serves me right. I shouldn’t have lied. Let me share with you what made me sit down at a bar lonely on a St. Valentine’s eve.

I met Lydia three months ago by a roadside beside a Honda civic that broken down. There was smoke everywhere and my quick diagnosis figured the car isn’t going anywhere any time soon. She flagged me down and my rickety Peugeot coasted to a stop. She started explaining so fast that I had trouble catching up. She explained that her car overheated (obviously), her phone is dead so she can’t call her auto mechanic and she is running late for a big appointment at her workplace and my car is the first to pass in like forever. All stories that touches the heart.
I offered to give her a lift and to use my phone to call the mechanic. She literally jumped with joy and gratitude. While she turned around to get her things and lock her car, I quickly rearranged my car to look more presentable granted it wasn’t meant to be a luxury ride for distressed damsels.

I realized we haven’t been properly introduced so I pointed the fact out. She introduced herself to be Lydia, she works in one of the mainstream banks along my route so I promised to drop her off. “And who might my knight in the shining Peugeot be?” she inquired. “Oh, I am Richard and I own a construction firm. We handle building contracts” and that was where I lied. I am just an experienced carpenter who work with different construction firms. Soon, she had to disembark but we exchanged digits and kept in touch.

Two months later, one thing led to another and we are dating. Today, before rushing off to finish an uncompleted job, I called her to confirm our date which she was enthused about. I was on a bungalow with my colleagues, hammering away when we heard the voice of the supervisor explaining how well the job is going to a client, they rounded a corner and the client turns out to be Lydia. The hammer dropped from my hand and landed with a thud which drew everyone’s attention. The supervisor gave me a severe tongue lashing but I could care less. I hastily jumped down and got on the next available taxi as I didn’t go with my car.

I felt a hand on my shoulder. Turning around, it was Lydia. I felt like a kid with his hand stuck in a cookie jar. Then she said “you have a lot of explanation and apology but tonight, take me out and treat me like a lady Mr. loverboy”.
I grabbed my denim jacket and hustled after her. Maybe there is hope after all.

LiteraturePenastory Love Contest Entry #7 – ARIBISALA TOLULOPE by PenAStory(op): 6:17pm On Feb 16, 2016
http://penastory.com/2016/02/16/penastory-love-contest-entry-7-aribisala-tolulope/

After dropping my two sons, Boluwatife and Ifeoluwa, ages seven and five respectively in school, I made my way to my place of work- my office. Not far from the house, in fact same area, only my office is in front. I set my market in front of me but business is not so fast yet. I noticed Mummy Risi setting beside me. She asked me today’s date..

“Thateen”

“Ah” she said. “Falantine wa lo la! Faaji! Baba Risi da?” As she spoke she danced and kept adjusting her wrapper that wasn’t falling.

“Falantine?” I said to myself as I shooed flies away from my oja.

Lack of sales came with boredom which took my mind wandering to the activities that happened earlier today. I woke up 5:30 am to quickly prepare a meal for my sons. I scratched up remnants of the stew sticking to the pot, breaking the head of the leftover dried fish I kept on the roof. With this, they shared a bowl of garri with a pinch of salt.

After eating, they dressed for school and as usual, reluctantly helped me set my fish basket.

Anyway, 7:00am we were set to leave home. I, to office and them to school. I jammed the door, making the whole wooden house to shake on its weak stilts buried inside water.

There is a canoe passing and I quickly halted it. He managed to steer his boat as close to the house as possible to enable my sons enter with ease. We did so without any of us tripping and falling into the water.

As we reached land, I put my boys in a keke maruwa that will drop them at school.

Realizing how late I was, I rushed back to water. I was able to collect two dozens of fresh fish for sale today. Sales looked promising because of the size of my fish, yet nothing.

Getting stirred back to consciousness, I looked to the heavens to help me with sales. Still, nothing.

Falantine is here and I decided not to go to office today. Let me rest and let my children rest too. Standing outside to recieve fresh air, the salt makers and sand dredgers were also not in their sheds. Everyone has taken the day off.

My mind started to wander again.. To Baba Bolu.. And what he would have done for me today. I would have been getting ready to go to the bar at Makoko junction, fish pepper soup and odeku set. The night after will then be history..

But Baba B is gone. Four years now. And I’ve almost forgotten what falantine is. I have my children’s fees to think about. Yes, my children. They are in private school. Yes. From my fish mongering. I am very proud. I love them. Soon, my suffering will pay off.

Then it clicked! Falantine?

I jumped up, running inside to get my wrapper where I tie my money. Tying the wrapper on my waist, I went back outside for the next canoe to pass. I couldn’t wait any longer so I jumped in. Into the dirty water containing all sorts of waste; both human and what have you. The water got to my upper thighs yet I waded and waded till I saw land.

I knew I couldn’t afford to enter a bus so I trekked. For about another thirty minutes I trekked and sweated as I did, panting but smiling, because it was for a good cause. You could feel the excitement from my face. I was almost running and smiling as if I had hit the right numbers in Baba Ijebu.

I felt as if I had struck gold when I saw the meat sellers. Meat? When last did I see meat? Do I remember how to cook it? I’m sure Ife has never tasted it before. And if Bolu has, maybe from my breast milk when things were still okay and his father was alive, bringing money from his firewood business.

My children will not eat dried fish head today. They will eat meat.

I cooked my sons the best Egusi soup in the whole of Makoko I’m sure. Yes, with yellow garri not white. In their eyes I saw happiness, I saw love. Love for me their mother, who was doing all she can to make them happy. It’s not only about love between you and your husband, this falantine thing. Looking at them eat, I knew this day of love was all about my children.

I’ve never been lucky in love . lol you don’t think it’s true?? It’s like I have this radar that just attracts men with issues , in my head I see myself standing In the middle of a room and then my beacon starts moving .. Beep beep beep and then it’s goes beeeeep a man with problems has been sighted permission to go ahead and get attached and then I smile and say yes . You know this guys probably fit the description of the perfect guys and the first two weeks are always marvelous like I mean you’ll be in your idea of Paradise. But then his insecurities starts to surface ( fear of commitment , lack of honesty) and the likes . So I gave up trying to find Mr right. But the universe always has a way to put a dent on your plans . it was my typical Friday night which follows a regular pattern of my friends telling me it’s going to be fun and me whining that I just want to stay home, it was on this day I met the perfect guy and I tell you he was nothing like I imagined . I could tell he was bored like I was with the loud music. We hit it off immediately it was almost magical and the following days passed in a blur we were so different yet so in tuned to each others feelings and I keep waiting for the day the lid would fall off but it never came it wasn’t easy but we always found a way to make it work . I found the one and I’m sure you can also.

There he sat in the front row. Enny could swear he wasn’t a gram over 70 kilos and that he was short; about her height. Though she stood a solid five feet seven, she considered guys on her height level, short. She liked big tall men. Yet something about this seemingly small man intrigued her. Perhaps it was the roguish smile that played across his lips when he stole a glance at her, or the fact that his rude disposition stood him out like a sore thumb among the congregation. The audacity of this guy, thought Enny as she watched him turn another page of the newspaper he’d been reading. A solemn atmosphere hung over the church as the bishop preached, but this guy continued reading a newspaper the way he probably would on a monday morning at a bus-station. Finally Enny tore her interest away to focus on the preacher.

*
As the head usher in church, Enny locked church and was one of the last to leave. As she stepped into the moon-less night, she checked her watch– eight-thirty pm. She hurried down the road she’d taken a zillion times, down a few dilapidated hanging buildings, past a few bars were Lagosians drank and bobbed heads to high music that filled the environment. A few of the men cat-called. It didn’t annoy her. Even her friends always commented about how her body showed so much promise of lustful enjoyment. She clutched her bible to her chest, and that was when she saw them; two unnaturally tall men who suddenly appeared from behind a house. It was a quiet street and her short cry of protest as one laid hands on her went unnoticed. The sharp glint of a knife appeared in the other’s hand.

“Silence, or I silence you forever,” knife man said ominously.

“Or you could let her go and I don’t silence you forever,” came a new voice.

Enny and her captors turned. She gasped. It was the newspaper guy from church.

“God, not you again Samuel,” knife guy cursed.

Everything that happened next was a haze. The two men rushed Samuel but with methodical movements, ice and nimbus connected. Samuel moved with watery fluidity, evading knife thrusts and fiery blasts. Soon, Enny’s captors remained but ice melting swiftly away.

“What demon are you?” She whispered hoarsely.

“I’ll be any demon you wish me to be,” replied Samuel.

*
A month later, Enny knew Samuel wasn’t a demon. Ok maybe a little bit sometimes, but she loved him even more for that. Samuel was a rain-maker and the newspaper he’d been reading was about the Nigerian rain-makers invited to Prince William’s wedding. Rain-makers, he claimed are descendants of fallen angels but to regain their entry into heaven, now fought for good. He made Enny discover her merovingian bloodline– her genealogy from the virgin mary, and how many sought power through a ritual that needed a merovingian virgin. She was a merovingian due to her paternal jewish heritage. She eventually gave her virginity to Samuel. It was the only way they wouldn’t keep coming after her. But something happened. Samuel fell in love as did she. And even though they made an unlikely couple– the rain-maker and the chief usher– she knew undoubtedly that she loved this seemingly small man. And to her, love was all that mattered.

“Hey Fred, I’m Boo-less”, I broke the news via whatsapp less than 3 hours after the breakup occured. Here I was, same spot again. Craving to be in the warm arms of the one who loved me with everything he was/is. Having thrown his love back to his face for seven years (the seventh year had the love ball wrapped with subtle but deep insults), whatever gallon of verbal acid awaited my football-shaped baby face, I deserved it. I just wanted to talk to my best friend. Someone who has loved me through all my seasons; a proverbial Hosea,made to love a proverbial Gomer, faithfully obeying the words in Hosea3:1.
My phone beeped and there I was, faced with reality- THE VERDICT. It was everything the opposite of what I deserved. The words meant the world to me, lifted the weight and brought peace. The words made the break-up pain as insignificant as the K in knife. It stared right in my face so long that I felt every alphabet like a presence: soothing,reassuring and everything like the writer. It read,
“Come and take a knock and a big hug. Go and sin no more”.
Buddy, you could knock my head off with pestle and still catch me smiling at you with the ‘gimme some more’ wink. I was like a murderer being set free on a fifteen naira bail. A whole year’s bad debt was written-off with this ‘fun-undertoned’ statement of divine forgiveness. No ‘Hello, it’s me. I was wondering if after all these years you’d like to meet to go over everything.’
A ‘purfect’ example of A LOT OF WATER WENT UNDER THE BRIDGE! If you can imagine the ‘Noah Flood’ going under your village bridge… Alright! Come back!
HEAVEN KISSED THE EARTH AND FOR A MOMENT,I FELT LIKE OMELET BETWEEN FRESHLY TOASTED BREAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ima walked into the room interrupting my thoughts and simply asked,” What’s love?” I stood, adjusted my sagging shorts, walked up to the marker board and wrote in my best handwriting, “Following the Logic: {If p~q and q~r, then p~r}, Love is Fred; Fred is Black; therefore LOVE IS BLACK!” I turned to her knowing I had succeeded in getting her confused again with ‘black’. I said “Black ain’t bad, black is the richest colour because it is made up of all the colours put together in right proportions. Black is deep! BLACK IS NAIJA! I smiled and passed her but not without pulling her thick natural hair.”

It was a very boring Sunday for me so I decided to go to the beach and cool off. At least looking at people playing will make the day better I said to myself.

Sitting at one end of the beach playing with sand, I noticed a light skinned guy with the kind of body ill die to touch, “he’s taken” I said in my head……. just as I got a drink and was heading back to my spot, I heard a voice behind me. it’s hard to see Nigerian girls in the beach on their own… when I turned,

it was the guy I was admiring all along. I looked around to check if any girl was following or staring at us before I replied. Well, I really didn’t have any one to come with I said as I continued walking. Will it be alright to come sit with you? he asked … erm, yeah its alright.. I replied as we walked to my spot.

We sat down looking at the water for what seemed so long before he decided to start a conversation. What’s your name? I’m Haze I replied.. I’m Mark he said, a fitness coach, I would have invited you to come workout at my gym but I guess you already do. You have an amazing body.. He said.. I really don’t workout.. I replied. then it’s an invitation he said as he pulled out a card from his pocket and handed it to me.

I tried to look as sexy as I could when I was preparing for the gym the next saturday, we had not spoken to each other cos I had his number and promised to text….. I arrived at the gym early cos I didn’t find anyone there when I arrived, after about 20 minutes I saw mark coming in. he looked so sexy with what he wore… when he saw me he grinned from ear to ear, walked towards me and hugged me….

I noticed the jealousy in the eyes of the other ladies there when mark is around me, coming to the gym every saturday bacame a routine, coming early became a pattern cos then I could spend more time with mark before his other students arrived….

We grew fond of ourselves and started hanging out a lot, visiting each other. Mark would cook and invite me over… it was so easy to fall in love with him cos he was handsome and sexy… after an amazing dinner with him he dropped me at home and just before he left he kissed me, I can’t remember what happened but he was on my bed naked… I did everything I had imagined doing to him and all I can remember is our soft moans that sounded like the chorus of an RnB song… our love story bagan.

Right now the only problem I’m facing is how to suprise my amazing husband Mark on valentines day after 10yrs of marriage with 3 amazing kids….

I stare down in shock at the young man kneeling down before me. No no no. What the hell is he thinking?
“I have loved you all my life Mola. I don’t know anybody else I can trust the way i trust you, that i can freely give everything I am to”. I watch his eyes fill with tears as he reaches into his pocket and pulls out the ring I know is coming next. All the while,

my entire being is rejecting the scene playing out in front of me. What does Bimbo think he’s doing? He knows how I feel about…. I lose my train of thoughts as he pulls my hand into his and slowly kisses my fingers. I know the words before he says them. Aren’t they every girl’s fantasy. Every girl except me. But I stay perfectly still as he asks “Oyindamola Princeton, will you marry me?”.
God, What do I say? What do i do?.
Everything starts moving in slow motion. My senses feel enhanced. My heart is pounding so loud in my chest I fear it is about to escape my body. My eyes flicker to the clock above the tv of Bimbo’s apartment-8:16
Images are flitting through my mind like a picture book. Images of my parents- the pain of their marriage that spilled over into my life as an only child;the fakeness of it all, smiling in public, keeping up the appearance of “the perfect Princeton family”, the tears and screams behind closed doors, their stubborn resolve not to get a divorce because of my dad’s inheritance conditions. Even images of all failed marriages I’ve witnessed since i could spell marriage. It seems to run in my family; my aunts, my uncles, a cousin that just got married three years ago who is already talking about a separation. That will never be me I had vowed. Never ever.
I’ve seen too many lives shattered by that bold step and I love this young man too much to do that to him. I love everything we have built, everything we have become. Bimbo knows my thoughts on “the great instituition”. I sigh inwardly. I love him too much.
All these happened in my head so fast it seems time paused. Bimbo is still looking at me expectantly when I drag myself out of my trance. The clock reads 8:19
Slowly, I pull my hand out of his knowing I’m about to destroy him and say “Yes Abimbola Olujimi Phillips. Yes I’ll marry you”.

http://penastory.com/2016/02/15/penastory-love-contest-entry-1-remen-zack/

Rosemary was befuddled and her mouth ajar when the Inmates went ferocious on one another. The guards popped into the Cell and began victimising all of the Ladies. Rosemary’s eyes were dilated as she was being humiliated by her fellow Women.

The young and happy Inmates played with one another, managing the few shabby toys cluttered on the floor. Rosemary was standing afar and watched them have the time of their lives, not caring they had no love in the bitter world, wrapped in anguish.

Rosemary walked far away yet again from the screaming and giggling Children as she looked out of the chipped louvre Windows. She looked intently at a Fly buzzing around a flower plant, probably acting like a Bee, fighting for sweet nectar. Her eyes were darted at a small apartment, opposite the Orphanage Building.

It was two lovers, laughing in gaiety. The ambience smelled so much of love and happiness between those two, making Rosemary’s eyes water briefly.

It was a tornado of Romance for the pair, Gideon and Rosemary. Their love affair became like a mustard seed during their Secondary School era. Rosemary made him a fool several times, after he would prop on one knee and ask her to be his Girlfriend but she would reply him in several skin itching rebuff methods.

Rosemary had a tough skin for love, as she was abandoned by her Birth father and her Mother went on the run next, leaving her to be alone in her lonely life. When she hit 18, Gideon’s tactics to officially make her his girl improved, making Rosemary trapped soon after.

Rosemary and Gideon were together for so long. They were so much in love ever since. They would hold hands, laugh and talk about everything. When Rosemary wouldn’t receive her usual visitor for a month, they would pray for ambivalent reasons. They wanted to start a family soon but they weren’t old enough or financially copious to do so.

Gideon was offered a big-time Scholarship to study in the UK. It was a huge opportunity for Gideon to make their lives better, but he didn’t want to leave his better half behind to suffer the incessant and throat throttling bills alone, back in Nigeria. Rosemary implored that it was a grand opportunity. She pressured him to go ahead and make their dreams come true.

Gideon was away for a few months and next, a few more years. Rosemary was wont to the struggle of making far disconsolate ends meet. She was alone to make her own life better, while she got erratic letters from her Lover. Until, he stopped sending those Letters and she was left to improvise his words instead.

Gideon touched her ears, just the way Rosemary liked it, making her world stop for a minute. He held her close and she wouldn’t believe that he was actually right by her side. Gideon was still the same, he only looked older and his beard was now more visible, unlike before.

“I promised us a Family and I’m not the kind to break a Promise. Our love is forever!” Gideon whispered. Rosemary hugged him tightly and placed a kiss on his lips, as the Children afar watched the Lovers intently.

that he was getting lazy because he now wakes at 5 A.M,
He died at 88 years and was still active in service in his last month,
He died 300 years ago and his works still speaks.

His name is John Wes; Mr John Wesley.

It will take an average of 10 men with a minimum
of two lives each of sustained work to match his feats,
Yet, he was but a man, like us.

We have developed speed but have shut ourselves in,
We have planes and cars; all for the wrong course,
We have forgotten the value of living with a purpose,
Impact means little to us; existence is everything to us,
Their isn’t just any goal strong enough to drive us anymore,
Reading has lost it power; unless of course there’s a test,
We have lost all sense of commitment,
We have been wired to indulge in the easy and simple,
We love sleep more than life itself,
We wake and repeat the same process again and again.

I know it won’t be like this forever,
I foresee a generation of men devoid of ignorance,
Men that believe in life and purpose,
Men powered by impact; that will leave with marks,
Who says the labors of our heroes past shall never be in vain; and mean it,
I believe that things are changing,
I believe in a universe of inclusion;
where we set ourselves on fire and others come to watch us burn
