Re: Red Ashes by Chumzypinky(f): 9:32am On Jan 04, 2017
Dedicated to Boldndbeautiful whose birthday was yesterday..sorry its coming too later dear, happy birthday 2 uuuuu...

KAINENE.

'we should go back to the hospital' i said to Nathan as i dressed up 'we left there in a hurry and without telling your mum, she should be worried by now'

I was shaken and i knew it was obvious. Of course, i just lost something i never thought i'd lose, at least not now.

He hugged my from behind and kissed my neck, i shivered. What was it about Nathan that made me shiver at the slightest shiver.

'Nene...' he spoke softly then turned me to face him 'are you scared?'

I shook my head.

He kissed my nose lightly 'you are'

'i'm not'

'i'm sorry if you feel i took advantage of you. I love you Nene. I'll never leave you'

I sighed 'isnt that the same thing every other guy will promise every girl they sleep with?' i searched his face. If there was anything more than love, then that was what i felt for this guy. I wondered when and how my feelings for him grew to this extent. I barely knew him.

He shook his head 'Nene, i've never disvirgined any girl in my 26yrs of existence, 12yrs of sexual experience. You gave me your treasure and i promise to keep it in my heart forever. Trust me Nene, i love you. I fell in love with you at first sight. I've never fallen in love with anyone before...'

'what of that girl at the hotel?'

'Jolade?' he sighed 'yes, she's my fiancee, but i didnt propose to her. Its my mum and her mum arranging the marriage stuff, but you know no one can force me into doing what i dont want to. You're the woman i want to spend the rest of my life with...no one else'

I lowered my head. Men were jerks! I knew, but Nathan, was...was he different? 'i need you to promise me something Nath...'

'what?'

'promise me...that you wont go back to your reckless life. You wont smoke...promise me that'

'i promise you honey. If you dont like me smoking then i'm going to stop...for your sake'

'i need us to do something else....'

'what is that?'

'a blood convenant'

He withdrew back a bit 'is that necessary?'

I stood up and walked to the window 'if we are going to be together, then i have to be sure about what i'm getting myself into'

He was behind me in an instant...his hand wrapped around my shoulders. I closed my eyes.

'i love you Nene...and if its a blood convenant you want, then so be it'

I turned to him with my eyes open. Then i went into his arms 'i love you too Nath'

He looked at me with love-filled eyes. I walked to the bed where my purse was, i opened it and searched for a razor blade. I opened the mini refridgerator and brought out a bottled water and a glass cup, i poured water into the cup.

Then i walked to him. He looked at me with nervous eyes. I took his hand and pierced it with the razor blade. He didnt winced. I dipped his thumb into the glass cup, his blood dropped.

Then i pierced mine, i winced and dipped it in the glass cup, then i held his hands, we both held the glass cup.

'with this blood of mine floathing in this water, i promise you Nathan, that i'll never leave you. No one will be able to separate us. As i've given you my virginity, you alone shall have access to my body. I shall not have an affair with another man, i shall not sleep with another man. I'll love you till eternity. Only death can do us part, if i ever leave you, if i ever cheat on you or harbour feelings for another man, then i shall run mad. This convenant can only be annulled if one of us dies'

He cleared his throat 'with this blood of mine flowing in this water, i also promise you Kainene, that i'll never break your heart. I'll love you till eternity, i'll never have sex with another woman neither shall i harbour any feelings whatsoever for another woman apart from you. If i do so, i shall run mad and rot to death. This convenant can only be annulled by the death of any of us. I love you Kainene'

He drank the water first. Then i drank the remaining. I dropped the glass cup on the shelf beside us and we kissed.

KAINENE.

'common bae, you should give him a chance, my cousin is not all bad you know' Kaka, my childhood friend said playing with my locks.



I was a naturally born dada.



I didnt know where i inherited it from though. My mum had natural hair, same with the demon called my father. My locks were dark, neat and long and it suited my very fair skin very well.



'look Kaka, i've told you before and i'm going to repeat myself. This cousin of yours, Marcus or whatever his name is, is going to cause problems between us. I dont know how many times i'm going to tell you this. I'm not interested in a relationship and thats final. You pestering my life isnt going to do our friendship any good, so quit!' i was very serious when i said it.


Marcus could ruin our friendship. Kaka had no idea how much i hated him. I hated him to the extent his mere presence alone irritated me.


She shook her head 'you dont know what you are doing to yourself K, i've told you this before and i'm going to repeat myself over and over as well, you dont live your life in other people's shadows. Other people's ill-lucks might be your goodluck, that someone else did not succeed in a particular area does not mean you wont succeed as well, K...'




'Kaka, stop this now!' i said vehemently 'stop this now and i mean it, i am very serious'



'fine!' she raised her hand up in defeat 'i've long known that you dont like taking corrections, whatever you believe is the right thing, every other thing someone says is useless and unreasonable! If you like, dont get married! Dont give any guy a chance! Remain and die a virgin, its ur da.mn business, i'm done talking sense into you. That your father left your mother does not mean your husband would also leave you!'



I lost it. I slapped her.

MABEL.


I flipped through the pages of the photo album from my youthful days. I smiled at some, frowned at some and laughed at some. I had had a very beautiful childhood filled with wonderful memories.




I smiled at a photo that had me and my friends way back in a beach.


We all had ice creams smeared on our faces and we all looked very cheerful.


Vivian, Joyce, Martha, and....



Chichi...


Chichi. Her name rolled off my lips. Then i forced a smile, circling my fingers round her smiling face. My heart thugged in guilt. We had been very close friends. We shared everything together, we had the same birthdate though she was a year older than me.
I loved her so much.




A tear rolled off my left eye. I've never been able to get rid of the guilet i feel whenever i thought of what i'd done to her.



Will she ever forgive me?



****



KAINENE.


'make sure the accountant transfers all the money to....' i was saying to the receptionist when i heard my name being called from behind.


I turned around to see who that person was but then i accidentally bumped into someone and the person's bag fell on the floor.



'oh my God!! I'm so sorry, i never meant to...' i bent down to pick the bag. I dusted the bag and handed it back to the owner.



It was a very beautiful young lady linking arms with an equally handome young man who had an arrogant look on his face.



I had to say they complemented each other. Beautiful. Handsome.



'i'm very sorry, it wasnt intentional....' i was slapped.



I was momentarily dumb.



The lady had slapped me. I blinked twice unsure of the next step to take.


'how dare you? Are you blind or something? Do you know how much that bag cost me?' the lady fumed.



'what the....' i was very shocked.



I thought i apologised....



In reflex, i found myself giving her three slaps, all at once.


The guy she was with held me and slapped me.


I spat on his face and fought him with all i've got, i made sure i tore his shirt and pinching his face.



It was the security guards that held up apart. I was so angry and mad, i felt like strangling both him and the lady he was with.




'let go of me!' i screamed fighting with the guard who held me.



'you are a very stupid girl!' the other girl cursed 'just take a look at what you've done to his face! You were the one at fault, yet you couldnt even apologise! Foolish animal!'




'both you and your entire family are the foolish animals here and not me! Didnt i apologise? How dare you lay your filthy hands on me? But you and your shameless boyfriend who has no respect for womanhood! What man slaps a woman he had never seen before? You dont even know the kind of man he is! I wonder how many times he has turned you into a punching bag!' i retorted angrily.




'shut up!' the lady barked. I could tell she was angry. Because i just spat out the truth.



'bark all you want, the truth is bitter!' I turned to the security 'throw this two disgusting pigs out of my mother's hotel. I dont want to ever see them here again!'
I turned to leave when the guy held my hand.


My heart fluttered for some unknown reason.



Then he came closer, so close, i could feel his breathe 'i will make you pay for this humiliation. Mark my words!' He wiped the blood from his face and smeared it on my clothes.




Then he walked away.


The lady walked towards me, eyed me 'stupid girl!' she cursed and walked away.

JOLADE.

'mummy Mab....' i called excitedly as i entered the house. I was holding a humper pack. It'd been a while.

I percieved an aroma from the kitchen and i knew Mummy Mab was at it again. I decided to surprise her, by tiptoeing to the kitchen and tickling her. She would be scared.

I giggled at the thought of that.

And so i tiptoed to the kitchen, grateful for my flat shoes.

The smell of food wafted through my nostrils again and i instantly became hungry.

But getting to the kitchen, i saw an unfamiliar figure facing the cooker, stirring something that looked like jellof rice backing the entrance of the kitchen.

This wasnt mummy Mabel. This one was dressed in a yellow sleeveless top and a short high way pleated skirt. Who was this?

'hello' i said.

She turned and i instantly frowned 'what the hell are you doing in this house?!'

'i should be asking you that question...what are you doing here?' she eyed me.

Her dreads were packed in a bun and her make up was light. She was beautiful.

'where is Nathan?'

'Nathan? Oh my darling sugarpie, he's upstairs in his room. Probably exhaused after what we just had. He's tired and hungry...Jolade'

'who told you my name you cheap disgusting slut?!!' i felt like tearing her apart, how dare she?

'first thing first, i am not a slut! If there's any slut here, that should be you. And about your name, who doesnt know that my fiance's ex-intimacy gadget was Jolade Akande? Mtcheew'

'did you just call me a sex-toy? Do you think you're any different? Nathan is only with you for the fvck, when he's done fvcking you, he comes back to his original fuckhole, which is me'

'thank God you know you're nothing but a fuckhole. Thats what you are a fuckslut! Abegee..whether original or fake, a fuckhole is always a fuckhole'

'you bitch! You....'

'whats happening here?' I turned to see Nathan standing by the door.

'Nath honey, will you please do me the favour of sending this trash outta here...she's gonna make me puke...' she walked to him and he wrapped his hand around her.

'Nathan, please tell her to leave! I know you're done fvcking her, she should go already!' i barked.

'on the contrary, i think you should be the one to leave. I'm done fvcking you, i'm done having sex with you Jolade...its enough! There's never been any engagement between us from the start but i'm calling whatever we had in the past quits right now...i need you to fuvck out right now! And forever, dont you ever step foot in this house anymore!'

'Nathan? You're telling me to leave because of this ugly thing?'

'get out Jolade! Now!!'

'i'm not going anywhere!' i fought the tears 'where's mummy? Why are you treating me this way? Do you know all i went through because of you? Did you know that i was raped by over three boys that night at the cementry..do you...' i suddenly felt nauseous again and i ran to the restroom and threw up.

I coughed. This throwing up of a thing was getting worse by the day. At first, i thought it was because of a stomach upset...but this has gone on for over three weeks now. Coupled with the increase of my bust, tiredness and fatigue.

Could it be.....

No!
