NONYE


**********

“He is going to come around Nonye. I need you to go home and get yourself in order. I will discuss with my husband and Richard so that we can proceed with the necessary arrangements ok?”

She sniffed and nodded dapping her eyes with the handkerchief.

“Nonye?” she continued, “Please don’t do anything stupid, I want my grandchild hale and hearty.” She smiled trying to cheer her up.
She smiled through her tears and stood up weakly.

“I will walk with you.” Richard’s mum offered also standing as they walked towards the door. “I know this is difficult for you Nonye, don’t get me wrong, I don’t support what you did, but now that we are here, I want you to know that I am strongly behind you and Richard will come around.”

“Thank you ma, thank you. I am sorry ……” she started, but she cut her short.

“Its ok my darling, there is nothing to be sorry for anymore.”

She walked her to her car and waited until she drove off before heading back to the house.



ROSE

She stood dumbfounded watching Lydia and David. She had walked in on them and could see the shock written all over David’s face. She had a hot rage burning through her but tried so much to hold it down in other not to explode. Her eyes were blazing with anger. She had a tightening in her chest as they all stood without a word.

It took a while before Lydia cleared her throat getting their attention.

“I was on my way,” she said with an evil grin etched at the corners of her lips, “I will see you soon David.”

She walked towards the door thinking that Rosemary was going to move, but she stood her ground as they both stared, firing unseen arrows at each other. After a moment of eyes war, Lydia looked away as fear crept into her heart. The anger she saw in the girl's eyes could get her burnt. She turned and looked at David urging him to do something.

“David?” Lydia called jolting him from his lost state.

Clearing his throat, he took slow steps towards them. “Rossy?” he called. “Please let her go please.”

For a moment they both stood waiting for her to react. After a while, she looked up trying to fight the hot tears brewing behind her eyeballs. On looking down, some drops escaped her eyes as she moved a bit out of the road. As Lydia made for the door, Rose stopped her again and looked into her eyes.

“Don’t ever come back here. I don’t care what happened but you won’t like what will happen the next time you bring your filthy self here.”

“I don’t know you, but whoever you are don’t threaten me, mummy is back.” Lydia retorted standing shoulder to shoulder with Rose.

“Lydia get out please, just go.” David urged trying to pull Rose away off the way. She moved a bit giving Lydia a small space to walk through.

“David I will see you soon and thanks for the warm reception,” Lydia said walking out from the door.

She felt like dragging her back by the hair and giving her the beating of her life but didn’t want to let her anger get the best of her. Though she couldn’t place her hands on what was going on but she knows whatever it is, the lady did put up an excellent display.



David

“Rose it’s not what you think,” David started as Lydia left the room. “Look, just listen, I will explain everything to you.”

“You will? You want to explain to me that I was just gone for a few hours and another lady is leaving your bed? Really David?”

“Rossy please.”

"Mummy is back, what the Bleep is that?"

"Rossy!"

“Don’t Rossy me please,” she barked raising her hand to stop him. “You know, it's not your fault really, guess I just made another blatant mistake. And for the records, you owe me no damn explanation. Whatever it is, I don’t want to get meddled in it.” She concluded picking her bag from the table and heading towards the door.

“Rossy, please don’t go, just listen to me please, just five minutes.” He pleaded holding her back.

“I think I have had it for a day, I need to rest, I feel like I am going crazy, just let me go.”

“Rossy please, it's not what you think.”

“Whatever it is, just deal with it and remove me from your mind.” She pulled her hand from his and walked out in quick fast strides. With David following behind.



Richard

Richard was entering the gate and didn’t see them coming till they were few steps away and he couldn’t do anything. Rose stopped surprised looking at Richard while David also looked on not knowing what was going on.

“What are you doing here?” Rose asked regaining her composure. “You were following me? the Bleep” she cursed looking squarely at Richard.

“Emm!! It’s not what you think.” He started looking from Rose to the guy behind her who seemed lost in the whole situation.

“Wow! Really!” she looked from Richard to David, “Seems like I haven’t been thinking right today as things don’t always seem what they are.”

“Rose I was afraid from the way you drove off from the house, I just wanted to make sure that you are ok, that’s why I followed you.” He explained helplessly.

“And when you realized that I was safe and didn’t have a crash why didn’t you leave?”

“Rose please,” he started “We can…..”

“We can’t anything, just get out of my way.” She barked and walked away leaving the two men lost as they watched her drive away.


They both stared at each other confused, Richard didn’t know what to think. So many thoughts running through his head. He didn’t want to believe that Rose has moved on and that the boy standing with him is her boyfriend. Rose can't stoop that low.

David tried to wrap his head around the whole incident that just played out before him. Is the dude standing before him Rose’s boyfriend, did they have an issue, and she used him to get over whatever the issue was? He didn’t know what to think but will find out.

“Hey, the name is David.” He stretched out his hand to the strange guy who looked him over before ignoring his hand.

“I don’t care what your name is or who you are; Rose is my girlfriend and whatever you guys had or is having you should back the Bleep away. We had a little issue and are getting back together.” He warned taking slow strides away from David. “Just so you know,” he stopped for a moment, “we are getting married soon.” He concluded and walked away.

“Just a moment bro,” David started taking few steps towards him. “That didn’t seem like a little issue and whoever nurtured you did a wack job by not teaching you not to threaten people in their residence. Good luck with your girlfriend.”

They stared at each other for some good minutes before Richard backed off and drove away leaving a cloud of dust behind.

David

**********

“Lydia, I have forgiven you. It was hard, but I have, but we can’t get back together; I’m sorry.” He looked at her a feeling of frustration kicking in subtly.

“David please, I know I made the worst mistake of my life by leaving you once, let me make things right. I know I left, but I never forgot about you, I wanted to reach out, I so wanted to call but….” She hung on her words looking into space with tears dripping down her eyes.

“But what? But what Lydia? You left me broken Lydia. What didn’t I do for you?” He stopped trying hard to suppress the tears building up. He was going into that state he’d avoided. He looked away blinking hard to avoid the tears. “I did all I could for you, I went the extra mile for you but to what end? To what end Lydia?”

“David I am sorry,” she cried. “I was selfish; I was stupid, I threw away my diamond picking pebbles.”

“The promises, our dreams, all of them you threw away because of some guy.” He fought so hard, but the tears won as they kept trickling down in drops. He looked at her hurtfully as the hurts he’d tried so hard to bury all came flashing before him.

She walked towards him, held his hands and knelt doing crying. She held it to her face as she cried. It was a moment of unburdening as they both shed tears, one of the betrayed and the other of the traitor. They cried for a moment that seemed like forever before finally getting themselves under control.

“David I am sorry, I know I don’t deserve you but all I ask is another chance to make this right. All I ask is another chance to worship the ground that you step on.” She said emotionally looking into his eyes.

“Lydia….” he looked into her eyes which always had him enchanted.

“Shhhh!! Please don’t say anything David” she cupped his face drawing close to him.




ROSE

**********

She cried so hard resting her head on the steering wheel. Finally, it was over and all the bottled up emotions she was letting go. All the while she cried, Richard was beside her glass crying too. She hated him for putting her in the condition; she hated him for being beside her car crying. Getting herself under control, she drew some tissue from her car tissue dispenser and wiped her tears before turning the ignition not minding that Richard was knocking on her glass. She was ready to run over him if he should attempt to be on her way. Pressing hard on the gas pedal she sent the car flying towards the gate leaving Richard with a cloud of dust.

All she wanted was to go back to David, and be in his arms; nothing would soothe her pains more than being with him at that moment. She pressed hard on the accelerator leaving other road user cursing at the speed with which she drove.

Parked outside as she remembered that they would be going out later, she made to get down before her phone started ringing. She paused and looked at the caller, sighing slowly she relaxed back. She didn’t want to talk to her, but her mind wouldn’t let her. Tapping on the receiver, she placed the phone on her ear.

“I am here,” she replied after her mum called her repeatedly.

“Rose where are you? I am in your house, and Molly said you hadn’t been around since the previous night.”

“I am at a friend’s place,” she replied coldly.

“Rosemary I’d like to see you. Tell me where you are and I will come and meet you.” She continued.

“What is it ma, any problem?”

“I want us to talk mother to daughter.” She persisted.

“Since when?” the words were out before she could take them back. Silence fell over the line as she knew the words hurt her mum.

“Mum?” she called apologetically, “I ‘m sorry. I will come around to the house on Monday then we can talk.” She knows she wasn’t going home at all just a lie to get her off.

“Rosemary, I am so sorry, I didn’t know what you were going through…” she started, but Rose cut through her words.

“Please, I don’t want to talk about this now ma. I will be at home later; I have to go,” she concluded and hung up before her mum could say another word.

Stepping down from the car, she headed towards the house. Suddenly, she had a weird feeling which slowed down her pace. She didn’t know where the feeling came, but it left her with goosebumps. Looking around, she surveyed the environment, but nothing seemed odd. After a moment she picked her steps and headed towards David’s room.


RICHARD

With the way she drove off, he had the fears that something bad was going to happen to her before she got home, so he’d entered his car and chased after her. He had managed to keep up as she drove as he’d never seen before. He thought he was going home, but when she took a different turning, it pinched his curiosity to keep up with her.

When she entered a strange street, he slowed down keeping a reasonable distance so that she wouldn’t make him out tailing her. From the distance he followed, he will be able to see everything happening around her.

He watched her park and stayed in the car for a while before stepping out and heading into a compound. He also stepped down and followed her. He couldn’t fathom what she was doing in that kind of environment but was definitely going to find out.



LYDIA

“David, there is no way I am giving up on us. I know I messed up, but I will make it right, I will David.” Lydia said holding his gaze.

They had shed all the tears they can, and in the heat of the moment when she wanted to kiss him, he had gently moved away from her. That had ushered in another awkward moment of silence which after a while was broken by Lydia with her apologies again.

“Lydia, there is no need trying to make things right anymore. I bear no grudge against you, and you owe me nothing. We had something, yes but it doesn’t exist anymore so please move on.”

“I will not give up David.” She said, picked her bag and leaned in to give him a peck. Just then the door opened, and Rose walked in.

Nonye


She was sobbing dejectedly sitting in one of the sofas in the large sitting room. The tension in the room could be felt from beyond. Richard’s mum was seated beside her rocking her gentle while his dad was directly opposite fuming with anger. After narrating everything coupled with how Richard advised her for an abortion to which she bluntly refused, she had drawn all the sympathy she needed and the odds automatically shifted to her side.

“How many months gone?” Richards mum asked drawing her closer to rest on her shoulder.

“Four months ma,” she replied sobbing lightly.

“Why didn’t you come open with this all these while?” she continued.

“I wa….wa,” she stammered breaking down again.

“Shsssh, its ok, it’s going to be fine.”

“I was ashamed, I was embarrassed and ashamed of myself.” She cried.

“I know, you should be but that notwithstanding, you should have reached out to us.”

“I wanted Richard to do the right thing; I didn’t want to pressure him.”

“Is Rosemary aware of this?” Richard’s Dad asked looking squarely at her.

She cringed in fear avoiding the old man’s gaze.

“Is she?”

She nodded in affirmation sniffing into the handkerchief.

“She doesn’t deserve this kind of betrayal from the both of you; she doesn’t. She is too good for this.” He said standing to pace the length of the room.

“Darling it’s ok, we will get this whole thing sorted out.” Richard’s much intervened looking at her husband.



David

He was deep in thought as he drove through the gate into his father’s large compound. He couldn’t understand the urgency of the call which was unlike his father. He hardly sounds urgent on the phone.

Stepping out from his car, he strengthened himself before making his way to the main entrance. He was halfway on the stairs when a car caught his eyes. He stopped on his track and took some steps down taking a good look at the car again.

“Nonye?” he murmured as his mind skipped.

“No, it can’t be” he said audible taking a closer look but his doubts were cleared as he read her plate.

“Shit” he cursed feeling frustrated. He let his hands fall in resignation not knowing what to do. The moment that he dreaded is here.

He was still with his thought when the entrance of a car into the compound jolted him out of his memory. He stood stunned watching as the car parked and Rosemary stepped out. She was looking breathtaking though he noticed that she lost a little weight. He watched the lady who was oblivious of his presence walk majestically towards the door. He doesn’t know what’s going on but whatever it is, he needed to talk to her before she walks into the house. Taking a deep breath, he walked towards her.

As she walked towards the main entrance she looked around the compound that once served as a safe abode to her. She always felt safe each time she was there. Aside the little changes she observed, everything was the same. She had her shades on which protected her eyes from the rays of the sun. She was close to the stairs when she noticed a figure approaching her. She turned and there was Richard. She stiffened but regained herself in time.

“Hi,” she said pulling away her shades to look him in the eyes. She tried to force a smile but it was harder than she thought.

“Hi, Rose what are you doing here?” he asked tensed.

“Daddy called and requested to see me. Is everything ok?” she asked with an expressionless countenance.

“Uhmmm, I don’t know, I just got here myself.” He shrugged trying to hold her gaze.

“That looks like your girlfriend’s car, is she here too?” she asked enjoying her little pettiness inwardly with smiles perched at the corners of her lips.

He looked at the car and turned to Rose without saying anything. “She is not my,” he started but stopped midway and moved to hold her hand.

“Don’t dare.” She cautioned abruptly leaving him shocked as he withdrew sharply.

“Rose please! I know…..”

“I think we need to go in and find out why we are here.” She concluded heading up the stairs leaving him behind.



Lydia

***********

She walked skeptically into the compound which she once lived in. She could see the little changes that have been made but it still reminded her of the beautiful moments she had before she left. She was nervous as she made his way towards David’s apartment. She wasn’t sure if he was around but if he wasn’t, she will wait.

She has been thinking of how best to get back into his life. Every strategy she comes up with seemed not good enough and every time she talked to Nickie about it, she seemed to be a wet blanket to her plans so she stopped confiding in her and decided to take the bull by the horn.


David

He came out from the bathroom to a knock on his door. He wasn’t expecting anybody and with the way Rose left he wasn’t expecting her back soon. Dapping his hair with his towel before wrapping it around his unclothedness he walked towards the door to check who the visitor is.
Getting to the door he stopped abruptly and stared at Lydia through the door net. She was the last person she expected at his door and there she was holding his gaze.

She held her breath as she appeared behind the door net clad in his bath towel. He looked fresh and new. The whole plan she had set in her head disappeared on sighting him.

“Lydia?” He called regaining his composure. “Come in” he unlocked and held the door open while she walked in stiffly avoiding his eyes and body contact.

Walking into the apartment she looked around and as usual the room looked so neat and kept. She always loved that about him; always tidy.

“Give me a minute to change” he said jolting her mind.

“Hmm?....o .. ok” he replied as David left with his briefs to change in the bathroom.

“So how are you?” he asked coming out from the bathroom. “Sorry I have not been able to call all these while, I have been kinda busy.”

“David it’s ok. I understand, not like I was expecting that much from you after everything.”

“So I see you have recovered fully, thank God.”

She shrugged and nodded looking into the space as silence fell over the room. The silence lasted for a while before David broke it.

“Sorry, pardon my manners. What do I offer you?” he asked.

“Nothing, I am fine.”

“Ok if you insist, so to what do I owe this visit?” he asked smiling to lighten the mood.

She smiled nervously looking everywhere around the room except where David sat. Suddenly her countenance changed as she looked at the table where Rose’s handbag was place. David was observant enough to follow her trail. She wasn’t clever enough to hide the feeling as it became obvious. She stared at it for a moment before dragging her eyes off it.

“Are you ok?” David asked.

She stayed mute for a while before looking up to assuage the hot tears pushing hard before her eyes. She nodded but holding back the trickles of tears wasn’t successful as a few escaped her eyes. She reached into her bag, pulled out her handkerchief and dapped her eyes but before she could return it the tears flowed uncontrollably as she sobbed quietly taking David unawares.



*********

The silence over the room was heavy as every one of them was with their thoughts. All the while it was Richard’s Dad unleashing his anger and disappointment over his son and Nonye. Richard’s mum who practically didn’t know whose side to be on interfered intermittently; mostly when Nonye breaks down to tears.

Richard was quite as his father lampooned him while Rose sat quietly hoping the whole thing ends already so that she could go back to David.
Richard made to speak but his dad cut him off abruptly.

“Shut up. I don’t want to hear a damn word from your mouth.” He barked angrily fuming. That had ushered in another dead silence.



Rose

“Daddy, Mummy” Rose started breaking through the silence. “I am sorry that we disappointed you like this. I know, what is done is done and we can’t undo it, the only thing left for us to do is the right thing. Two wrongs can never make a right,” she paused surprised that the tears weren’t coming already. “I have forgiven them and I hope you will too. Humans are infallible lets not forget that. That said, I will like to formally end everything between Richard and myself.” She pulled out her engagement ring from her pause and walked towards Richard placing it on the side stool beside him. Richard reached out to hold her hand but she pulled away abruptly but he was up before she could take some steps back.

“Rose! Please don’t do this.” He pleaded going on his knees while forcefully holding her back. “I know I messed up but please we can make this work. Rose please. Mummy Daddy please talk to her please. Rosemary please don’t do this to us.”

While he sang his apologies she was busy fighting back her tears. She didn’t want to break down before them. That moment hurts but she wanted to walk away from there without tears but he was making it hard for them. Forcing a smile, she suppressed the lump on her throat and turned to him.

“ Let go of my hand” she murmured glaring at him while trying to force her hand out from his. “You got what you wanted.”

Everyone watched the drama going on without words. Dragging her hand away from his she walked towards Richards dad and genuflected before doing same to the mum after which she looked down at Nonye for some second before heading towards the door leaving Richard on the floor crying like a baby. As she walked down the stairs she noticed some hurried footsteps behind her and turned to see Richard on her heels.

“Rose please, lets talk about this please. I can’t let you go.. You mean the world to me please.” he sang behind her.

“Don’t make this harder than its already.” She turned and gave him the coldest stare he ever had. The look alone stopped him on his track while she jumped into her car before letting the built up tears lose.

Richard

**********
He was looking down dejected and ashamed as silence hung over the room. He knew how disappointed she must be in him and his family reason why shame didn’t allow him look up at her.

“How could you?” she asked with anger laced in her voice, “She loved you with everything.”

He stayed mute as they fell into silence again.

“Is your family aware of this development?” Rose’s mum asked.

“No”

“And Nonye, where is she?”

“I don’t know, we haven’t talked in a while.”

“You don’t know? How could you leave her in such condition and tell me you don’t know?”

He looked up confused. Was she scolding him because he cheated on her daughter or because he got her daughter’s friend pregnant.

“You don’t leave a girl with pregnancy all alone,” she continued. “You don’t”

He was lost as to what to say.

Everything was clear to her now. Little wonder why Rose reacted the way she did the last time. She was angry and hurt especially having told some dignitaries about her daughter’s wedding but she’d made a lot of mistakes and wasn’t going to let Rose settle with an unfaithful man.

“You need to tell your family about this and …….”

“I can’t. I love Rose. All this is the devils handwork and I am ready to make amends. I still want to marry …….”
His phone rang cutting him short. Pulling the phone from his pocket he checked the caller and it his Dad.

“My Dad” he said taking the call.

“Hello”

“No I am not in the office.”

“Is everything alright?”

“Ok, I will be there shortly?”

“Sorry its my dad” he said putting the phone back into his pocket. “Said there is an emergency and he needs me home ASAP.”


Rose

She woke up to her phone ringing. Yawning, she stretched and picked it from the sideboard looking at the screen her heart skipped. She slowly moved David’s’ hand which was around her waist and stood from the bed. Her boobs joggled as she headed to the bathroom.

“Hello.. good morning sir”

“I am fine sir, how are you?”

“Yes”

“Yes, is everything ok?”

“Ummmm,” she thought for a moment, “Ok I will be there”

“Yes, one hour tops”

“Ok, thank you sir.”

She said as the call came to an end. Her mind raced into a million thoughts to the reason why Richards father will call demanding for her
presence. Is he aware of what happened? She thought. She couldn’t place a reason to why he called but whatever it is, it just presented an opportunity for her to end everything.

Sitting up from the toilet sit, she walked back into the room to David still sprawled on the bed sleeping peacefully. She smiled watching him snore lightly. She was falling for him and she knows it. He was everything that consoled her soul. He was gentle and meek.

Looking at the time; 2;30 pm, she smiled again. They had been sleeping since breakfast after they had another hot round of fulfilling sex. She couldn’t have wished to be spending her weekend any other way than with him in his house.

She was lost in thought when she suddenly felt his hand circling her waist and dragging her down to the bed.

“And what is she up thinking?” he said pulling her into himself.

She smiled turning to face him, locking her lips with his. For a while they kissed before he broke it off.

“Is that some kinda ploy to dodge my question?” he continued, this time reaching to handle her boobs. She purred as she felt a sensation run through her before pulling away from him playfully.

“Was just thinking about you” she turned shyly and snuggled into him while he spooned her.

“Aww!! You want to talk about something?”

“No, not really. Maybe not now.”

“You know I am here anytime you want to talk.”

“Yea I do, but I just hope” she started but stopped midway.

“What Rossy?”

“Nothing, I have something to attend to, it came up suddenly, maybe we could hang out when I am back?”

“Alright,” he sighed, “I really don’t have much to do today, just tidy up a little stuff here and there.” He watched as she stepped down from the bed heading to the bathroom.

“Rossy, you ok?” he asked behind her.

She turned and smiled, “Yea, I am”



Lydia

****************
“So what’s your plan?” Nickie asked clearing the dishes. She has watched her friend ever since she went to pick her from the hospital. Though she was making good progress recovering but what worried her most is her constant crying and refusing to step out from the house. She so much wanted her to pick her life and move on.

Though the whole story had come to her as a shock, she believed that instead of blaming her friend for the actions that gave birth to her present condition, she should be there for her.

“I don’t know” she shrugged, “ Guess I will just see how the day goes.”

“Lydia no,” she looked squarely at her. “You have been seeing the day come and go for a couple of days now; don’t you think its time to move on?”

“Nickie are you tired of my stay with you? I can move you know. I am very appreciative…..”

“Don’t insult me Lydia,” Nickie started cutting through her words. She was visibly angry.

“I am sorry Nickie,” she started but Nickie was already half way into the kitchen. She has gone out of line and she knows it. Since she came around Nickie has gone the extra mile to prove the worth of their friendship. She had stopped at nothing to make sure that she was comfortable even to the extent of taking a week leave off work just to be with her.

She stood up and followed her to the kitchen.

“Nickie I am so sorry.” She said walking close to her looking very apologetic.

“You know all I want is the best for her Lydia. This is your home, I just want you to start putting yourself together.”

“I know, I know. I Just feel like I am not ready for whatever is waiting for me out there. I can’t even bring myself to call my family. I feel like I failed everybody.” She said tearing up.

“Lydia!” Nickie called, “We have been through this a lot of times. You made a mistake which everyone does. The only way to correct that mistake now is to move on from it. I have told you times without counting that you don’t need to call your family now, maybe later when you have gotten your stand.” She concluded reaching out to her for a hug.

“And David, what do I do? I feel he has moved on.”

“Did you expect him not to?”

“I don’t know, I want him back.”

“You know that may not be possible.”

“I will do whatever it takes. David is mine.”

“Lydia? I would advise you leave him be. You hurt him terribly you know, so just leave him be.”

“ I will shoot my best shot,” she concluded looking into the space.

Chai! Sorry guys, plenty things just dey happen sha.

Nonye

*****

That was the second time she was throwing up that morning and the morning sickness wasn’t taking it easy on her. She’d barely had anything solid in the last three days and wasn’t feeling like. She had no appetite for anything. Her face was noticeably swollen and tummy taking shape gradually. She hasn’t anticipated the sudden change in her system so soon. Her doctor assured her that its normal and would faze out soon as the pregnancy progressed.

She thought that Richard would have speed up things because of the pregnancy but that seemed not to be the case. She hasn’t seen or heard from him after she left his office. She was beginning to regret why she kept the pregnancy. She was lonely and suffering. She didn’t want her friends to know about the pregnancy but she was reconsidering it, she needed someone around. Rose would have been the go to person at this point if things were different.

Picking her phone, she scrolled and dialed Richards number. She has been thinking of taking the bull by the horn but didn’t want to act desperate even though she was. She didn’t want to lose the victim card before she played it.

The phone rang a couple of times and went to voicemail. She let the phone drop from her hand as her eyes welled up in tears. It was passed the regret period and definitely passed the termination period. Any attempt at terminating the pregnancy at that stage was going to leave her severely damaged.

Picking her phone from the couch, she stood up lazily and picked her keys from the table before heading out. “It’s either now or never.” She murmured as she turned the ignition of her car.

Rose

*********

She stirred drowsily and turned. His hand was around her waist as he slept peacefully spooning her. She yawned and moved deeper into him. Feeling something poke her bum and moved again. She was tired and famished but managed a smile as she pushed back gently feeling his hard on poke her ass. While she played her naughty tricks, he slept peacefully only turning to get his hand around her when she moves. Since her tricks weren’t waking him, she decided to change her game.

She slowly moved away from him and slipped under the duvet. She smiled to herself not believing what she was about to do. It seemed wired but intrigued her to get on with it. Getting hold of his dick in the darkness of the duvet, she stroked it gently.

He woke up to the feeling of her soft hands on his dick. It felt so soft that he moaned before moving the duvet to find her running her hand through the length of his hard on. He smiled not knowing what to say.

“Good morning” he greeted raising his head to look at the time. It was still 3am.

Good morning” she replied and smiled at him reaching up to kiss his lips.

You didn’t tell me you like early morning yoghurt” David teased.

I like milking the cow early in the morning that’s when it is more nutritious.”

“Wait did you just say co……?”

Shut up and lie back down” she said pushing him down on his back.

She wasn’t sure of her head game but she was going to give her best to it. She wasn’t going to let his head game come off better than hers and definitely she wasn’t going to carry last. Stroking his dick gently, she watched as he moaned slightly thrusting his hips up. Gently she lowered her head and enveloped the cap of his dick.

Cupping his ball, she focused on the tip of his dick and suck passionately on it raising her head intermittently to admire the red head while she squeezed his balls gently. She liked the dick as it was just a perfect size for her. Pulling her head away, she stroked the dick gently making sure to squeeze the head each time she got to it.

She wanted to go slow and give him part of the torment he gave her. Without warning she went down deep and took it all till she felt the tip of his dick touching the end of her throat. She choked a bit but didn’t pull out letting herself adjust to it.

The pleasure he felt as she took his dick all into her mouth was out of this world as he moaned deeply and held down her head the warmness of her mouth drawing him close to the edge.

After he got his hand off her head, she gently pulled out his dick slowly till she got to the tip before going down deep again. She kept at till as his moans kept re echoing in the room and beyond. She was enjoying his reaction while her wetness dripped.

She had just increased the tempo and just when she was getting a bit tired , he announced his arrival. Oh gosh!!! ……I am …… I ….. clos…” that was how far he could go as the first shot escaped his tip hitting the end of her throat.

Squeezing his ball as she sucked faster, she kept milking him till the last drop of his cum. She pulled her head from the duvet just as he laid helplessly on the bed with eyes shut. She looked down at him smiling while contemplating in her mind either to swallow his cum which she had all gathered in her mouth or to go spit them out. After a while she downed the whole content making a face as passed her throat.

“Ewwwww” she squirmed letting herself down on him.

“Rose….. you are …… I am dead”

He tiredly drew her closer and wrapped his hands around her.

“Does that mean I did a good job?” she asked smiling and snuggling into him.

“You just wasted me”

He pulled her face closer and took her lips. They kissed for a while before he pulled away and looked at her.

“Did you ………?”

She smiled and nodded shyly. Without another word, they got entangled in another bout of kiss and before one could say jack David was setting himself up between her laps.

Richard


********

He was out of options as to what to do. He’d been thinking and waiting, praying for her to come around. He’d sent texts and flowers not excluding apology cards but it all seemed to be in vain. He was caught between the devil and the red sea. Worst is that shame hasn’t allowed him to talk to any of his friends who could help him out. They all held him in high esteem, how could he bring himself to tell them what he did?
Time wasn’t a luxury he has, as the day goes by so is Nonye’s pregnancy growing and it was just a matter of time before eye brows start rising and fingers pointing.

He didn’t know why he kept it on with her. No doubt he liked her, but it was just for the sex and nothing beyond it. What he felt for her can’t be compared to his love for Rose. Rose is a diamond, his diamond, but look at how he lost her.

Why couldn’t she just accept to have an abortion, it would save them both the embarrassment. How will people see them? Their families, friends… He was doomed. He’d been languishing himself in alcohol but that wasn’t going to solve his problem. He has been thinking of taking a particular step but wasn’t sure of the outcome of it. Picking his phone, he decided to call Rose’s mum. Though he knew that Rose and her mum doesn’t share a strong bond, but that was the only card he had left.

Rose

********

Slowly they kept nibbling at each other savoring the taste of their lips. She was moaning softly as his hands caressed all her weak spots. He slipped off his lips and kissed down her neck. She wriggled as he kissed her neck licking around her neckline. Reaching out with closed eyes she held to his head while he went down further burying deep kisses on her cleavage. She was so hot and wanted him to get down on her already but he was taking the time of his life. As he laced his tongue along her cleavage, he cupped both her boobs and fondled them gently sending bolts of pleasure into her. She moaned deeply throwing away her hands in resignation while he worked his magic on her.

When he felt he’d fondled the boobs enough, gently he took them in turn and sucked passionately leaving each red and swollen after which he reverts back. While he sucked, he took one hand down and caressed around her vagina. That action triggered already accumulated tension sending her to orgasm as she screamed, spasm and started jerking.

He knew what was happening and sucked more while still caressing her spot. As the power of her first orgasm washed through her, he kissed down and licked around her belly button before sucking deeply on it while she begged him to stop but made no effort to stop.

“To…. David please… Please….Uhhh….. you are …ohhhh” she trailed off and threw her waist up as he dipped his finger into her while still sucking on her belly button. He intentionally avoided touching her clit even as she kept twisting her waist and trying to drag his hand to it.

Finally, he kissed down and gently placed his tongue on her gorged clit. Immediately she screamed and went into another orgasm, this time, squirting all over his face before he could pull away.

Her orgasm lasted for a while as he didn’t stop flicking her clit as she squirt. When she finally exhausted every liquid she had left, she weakly looked at him and with the last strength left in her, she murmured what sounded like a plea before letting her lids shot.

Despite his raging hard on, he understood her plight and gently rolled her over to the end of the bed that wasn’t messed by her squirt. Gently he rolled of the bedspread before heading the bathroom to wash off and also calm his dick-rage.



David

******

He had left the hospital shortly after the call as Rose told him that she was enroute his house. Leaving the hospital was such a relief as he didn’t want to sit and continue listening to Lydia say her apologies. Yes he has forgiven her and moved on but, a part of him still cared for her, despite everything she put him through.

When he got home, Rose was already parked outside waiting for him. After the pleasantries they went in and together the fixed little dinner. Rose had surprised him with a bottle of wine which they sat down to after the light dinner talking about random issues. He was about taking the discussion a bit further when she moved close and placed her lips on his.

Purityval is there a way you can send the full story to my email??

Baba how you dey na? I write and post, don't have the full story.

David


One week on

The previous week was a hectic one for him juggling between his new job and the hospital. While he was settling in well at work and trying to do his best, he was also rallying around to source for fund to take care of Lydia’s hospital bill.

Lydia has been making a good progress in recovering. She was out of coma and could reorganize her environment as well as eat. All thanks to her help who never left her side, David couldn’t imagine how he would have been able to handle it all alone.

Since she came out of coma, he has been avoiding situations that would leave the both of them together alone. He’d always walk away with an excuse or another. It was obvious he was avoiding her, but for how long?

For the past week he hasn’t heard from Rose. They weren’t able to celebrate during the week end because he cancelled again because of Lydia. He couldn’t believe he was doing all that just for Lydia but now that she was out of danger, he was going to make it up to Rose. Pulling out his phone he scrolled down and placed a call to her.



Rose

*********
On her part a whole lot has been happening, ranging from calls from her family and friends all asking about her marriage plan. Richard hasn’t been forthcoming with setting up a family meeting where they would end the whole issue and to make matters worse everyone was beginning to think that she is the problem.

If she has ended everything prior to this stage, she wouldn’t have paid heed to whatever people were saying but she respected the families involved and wouldn’t want to be seen in a different light.

While all these were happening, it never stopped her from thinking about David. It seemed anytime they wanted to meet something crops up to stop them; its either he is the one cancelling or she is. She misses him and wanted so much to sit and talk with him.

She was packing up for the day when her phone rang. She looked at the screen and smiled before picking the phone from the table.

“David.” She called. The happiness was unmistaken in her voice.

“Rosy” he called romantically sending her into a mushy mood.

“Aww” she purred as she felt goose bumps spread all over her. That was new, nobody has ever called her that and the way he called it reached to her soul.

“I am sorry I have not been able to call all these while,” he started but she cut him off before he could continue.

“David…..,” she called gently. “It’s ok. I know with the new job that it has not been easy for you and what matters most is that we are talking to each other now.”

That had left him speechless for a moment leading to a moment of silence which hung over the phone for a while before he cleared his throat.
“Can I take you to dinner Rosy?”

“No David, you are not taking me to dinner, we are having dinner at your place.”

“Rosy, I don’t ……”

“Whatever you have, we are going to eat it together.”

“Do you need direction?”

“I can find my way.”


He was heading to the hospital for Lydia’s discharge. He had managed to get some money at least to pay a part of her medical bills. That was the least he could do in that condition for old time sake and for the fact that a part of him still felt soft for her. At least he wouldn’t leave the hospital with a guilty conscience.

He walked into the ward and met Lydia on the phone while her help sat in corner. He waved at Mary and sat while she concluded her call. She heaved deeply upon ending the call and turned to David and said her greetings with a weak smile.

“How are you?’ he asked forcing a smile back.

“Guess I am better to leave here.”

“That’s good to hear..” he faked another smile. “Have the doctor certified you ready to go?” he continued.

“Yes, he did that not long ago.”

“Ok, let me get to accounts and see what I can do about the bills, I might not be able to pay all now but I can finish it up later, probably sign an undertaking with them.” He said heading to the door but her voice stopped him on his track.

“David wait…. please.”

He turned to her pleading face. He hesitated for a moment before walking back to his seat. While Mary stood up and left, leaving them alone, just what he has been avoiding.

A deafening silence lingered in the room for a while before she cleared her throat.

“David,” she called as tears welled up in her eyes choking up in her throat. She looked up to avoid the tears from streaming down but it was a futile effort as drops have already escaped her eyes.

He wanted to reach out to her but decided against it giving her time to gather herself. After a while she collected herself and continued.

“David…. I am very sorry for everything I put you through. I… I….” she trailed off not finding the right words to express herself again but rather the tears never stopped.

After a moment of silence he look up and called her.

“Lydia, I have forgiven you a long time ago. Whatever happened between us is in the past. What you should be focused on is how to properly heal and get back on your feet. I am sorry you found yourself in this situation but I trust you can make the right decision hence forth. Let me get to accounts.” He said and stood up again.

“I have settled the bills David” she said stopping him again. It was a relieve as he heard that.

“So have you called anybody to come and pick you?” he asked sitting back down.

“Yes, I will be staying with my friend for a while.”

“Ok, that’s is good.”

They relapsed into silence again for a while.

“David, how are you?” she had her eyes focused on him making him look away.

He shrugged, “I am good.”

“You…..” she started but his phone rang interrupting her. He heaved a sigh of relieve and pulled the phone from his pocket. It was Rosemary calling.

“Hello Rosy!” he excused himself and headed for the door.

**** Continuation ******



David

*********

He couldn’t sleep after the call and as early as 5am he was on his way to the hospital. So many thought were going through his head.

“What must have happened to her?”

“Why did she still have his contact?”

“And why him of all the contacts on her phone?”



He made his way to the reception as he got to the hospital.

“Good morning.” he greeted the receptionist.

“Good morning and welcome to leaving fate hospital. How can I help you?”

“Ummm! I am looking for a lady that was brought here …….” He trailed off as he didn’t know when she was admitted to the hospital. “Her name is Lydia, she is fair and a bit above average in height.” He described frustrated.

The receptionist thought for a while before punching some buttons on the computer after which she looked up to him. “I can’t seem to find someone that matches your description but there is a Lydia Nicolas that was brought here three days ago but she doesn’t match your description. Don’t you have a number to call?”

“Oh.” He blew off reaching for his phone. He dialed the number and the same lady answered immediately. “I am in the hospital reception.” He said.

Few minutes later a young lady came down the stairs with the phone on her ear. Immediately his phone started ringing before the lady dropped the call and walked up to him.

“Good morning sir.” She curtsied.

She looked stressed and her eyes were swollen and red from tears. He felt pity for her.

“Good morning, I am David.” He introduced himself.

He thanked the receptionist as the lady led him towards the stairs.

“I am favor; her house help.”

They walked the rest of the short distance to the ward in silence. Laid on the bed with wires all stuck to her and machines beeping was Lydia. She was on oxygen mask and looked so pale. His heart weakened as he stared at her. After some minutes, he turned to the girl and asked.

“What happened to her?”

The lady looked on as tears streamed down her eyes. Reaching out, he hugged her for a moment before leading her outside. Seated outside the ward, he offered his handkerchief which she took with thanks. After a moment of silence, she cleared her throat.

“It didn’t start today. He has been abusing her constantly.”

“Who has been abusing her?”

“Her husband.”

“Her what?” he asked surprised which made the lady turn to him. He couldn’t believe his ears. Lydia was married, when and how.” He turned and caught the girl staring at her questionably.

“Umm, I didn’t know she was married. I am her ex boyfriend. How did you get my number?” he asked to throw her off him.

“Your contact was the last on her dialed list.”

“The last on her call log? I haven’t talked to her since she broke up with me and that’s about seven months back so my number can’t be the last on her call log.”

She pulled out the phone from her pocket and tapped on the caller option handing it over to her. He checked and his number occupied her call log up to the last twenty dialed number. He couldn’t believe it.

“I never talked to her.”

“I know, I checked the call details and it all read 0:00. I guess she was trying to reach you but your number wasn’t reachable.”

“But you got me on first call.”

She shrugged and looked into the space. They relapsed into silence which was interrupted by the entrance of the doctor.

He greeted them as Mary introduced David as Lydia’s relation. After they shook hands, he led them into the ward and after checking Lydia’s pulse and other necessities he asked David to walk with him.

“How are you related to her?” the doctor asked as they walked to his office.

“Actually, we ain’t that related. I am her ex boyfriend.” He replied awkwardly.

“Oh! So why are you…..” he trailed off completing the statement with his eyes.

“Her help called me.”

He waved him to a seat as they got to his office.

“We are looking at a very critical case here….” He started.



Rose

********
She flipped through the last paper in the file and appended her signature to it before placing it back. Pressing a button on the intercom she spoke into it as her secretary’s voice came on.

“Come and take the files.”

She relaxed back afterwards drifting in thoughts. In as much as she was trying to block off all that happened in the last few months and focus on the present, it was being hard as part of her still goes back to the past. She still had the engagement ring, though on countless times she’d told herself that she was going to give it back but she never got around to doing it. Raising her hand to her face, she looked at the finger with which she’d adorned the ring. Tears welled up in her eyes as she tried to force them back. Richard and Nonye have dealt her a blow but she wasn’t going to let them steal her joy. She’d do everything to get the whole issue over and done with. Since family has been involved, she is going to end it with family.

Picking her phone from the table, she scrolled to Richard’s number and pressed the dial button. She breathed deeply waiting for the call to connect.

“How are you Richard?” she asked as the line connected. “You need to set up a meeting between our families. Time to end it all.” She concluded and dropped the call before he could say another word.

After the call to Richard, she dialed David. Since the night he asked to take her to dinner, they’ve not talked and she miss him.

“And he decided to abandon me.”

“Just like she abandoned me after deflating my balls.”

“David c’mon, I apologized and you told me you understood.”

“Did I? maybe I just wanted to remedy my scratched ego.” He laughed.

“Now I feel bad.” She said apologetically.

“Aww! C’mon, I was joking.”

"David, are you sure you were just…..” she trailed off.

“Yea, I was. How are you?”

“I am fine, just been busy with work and some things.”

“Same here. Guess what?

“Tell me.”

“I just got a job.”

She screamed from her end making him cringe in laughter.

“Now this calls for celebration,” she started. “Where are we celebrating it? Everything is on me just choose a place.”

“Ummm!! Sorry to spoil the mood. I have a lot to get ready for as I am resuming tomorrow but we can do this by the weekend, it’s just few days away.”

"Alright, so happy for you. Let’s keep it for the weekend then.”

“Yea, thanks for understanding.”

They talked more before saying the goodbye.



David

On his way back to the hospital, he managed to buy some provisions for the girl and possibly Lydia. He didn’t know for how long she was going to be in the hospital or how he’d handle the situation. In as much as he felt he didn’t owe her anything anymore, he couldn’t just leave her half dead in the hospital; a part of him still felt something for her.

The doctor had told him that she is in a critical situation as some organs have been damaged in her. Also they were looking at a serious case of womb loss and other medical technicalities. And to cap it, a whole lot of fund is involved to take care of her and that he didn’t have or know where to get it from.


TBC

Nonye


She adjusted her short as she stepped out from the elevator. She was on a bum short and crop top with a kimono. She was hot and she knows. She had chosen her outfit knowing what effect she was going to have on him. He won’t be able to resist her but she was going to turn him down because the game was about to start.

Stepping into the secretary’s office she smiled at the lady behind the computer. She knows that the lady doesn’t like her but has kept it professional and always tried to smile.

“Good day ma’am.” The lady replied her greeting raising her head from the computer with her professional smile intact.

“Is Richard in?” she asked. Though she already saw his car parked but she wanted to be formal.

“Yes, but he said not be disturbed.”

“Not to be disturbed?” she repeated some thoughts running through her head. Maybe he is with a girl. “Is someone with him?” she meant to sound casual but her tune of voice flatly betrayed her.

“No”

“Kindly tell him that I am here to see him and it is important.” She submitted subtly resting her hand on the table.

The secretary picked the intercom and dialed a number. After speaking for some seconds, she dropped the phone and gave her the go ahead.

“Thank you.” She said with a smile walking towards Richards office.


Richard

He got pissed on hearing that she was around to see him. Haven’t she done enough damages already? He would have told his secretary not to let her in but didn’t want to put her in such position and look childish.

“What are you doing here?” he asked immediately she walked in.

“I sent you a message two days ago and you didn’t reply?” she retorted waving off his question.

“That should have told you that I am not interested in replying or having anything to do with you.”

“Really? After all we have had.”

“We had nothing, whatever we had was just sex and it has destroyed the most important thing I have in my life,” He started removing his eyes from her. His organs were reacting to the sight of her. “Don’t you see the damage you have done already?” he cried defeated.

She knew her game and was going to play it right. Standing from the couch, she walked slowly around the table and stood before him.

“Richard listen to what you are saying to me. I was just a sex object to you? Richard I love, I have always. I gave my all and everything to you. Why treat me this way?” she said letting drops of tears escape her eyes.

“Nonye….” He started but the words stuck to his throat as he gaped at her fresh laps leading to the outline of her crotch. His dick was already gorged and her sensual scent oozing into his nose weren’t making it any easy for him. Circling his hand around her waist, he drew her closer to sit on his laps but she maintained her standing position between his parted laps making sure that her bared midriff was all he could see.

He couldn’t fight the will to resist her as he kissed her midriff pulling her deeper into himself. Smiling above his head, she allowed him have a little moment before pulling away from him.

“I know I mean nothing to you but you mean the world to me,” she started tearing up while walking back to the couch. “I just came to tell you that I my pregnant.” She concluded breaking down completely shedding her fake tears.

“You are what?” he shouted shocked. “No you can’t be, you can’t.” he said walking around to hold her hands.

“I am Richard and I am scared and ashamed, I am so ashamed of myself.”

“Nonye listen to me. You can’t be pregnant for me. Have you gone for a test?” he asked trying to get himself under control.

She nodded in affirmative leaning into him sobbing like a baby.

“How many weeks, months gone?”

“Three weeks.”

His thought went back immediately and the last encounter they had came rushing into his mind. He relaxed back on the couch and sighed defeated.

“Nonye listen to me, you have to get rid of it before it becomes obvious.” he said with pleading eyes.

“What?” she started moving away from him. “What did you just say?”

“Nonye please, I will give you anything you want, any amount, just get rid of it. This is going to ruin me, my reputation and everything. For Christ sake, Nonye I am set to be married to your best friend and I don’t even know where I stand with her now and now this.” He raised his hands in frustration.

“You….” She hung on her word for a moment. “I can’t have an abortion, I can’t. From where I stand I am the one that is ruined, I am the one whose reputation is on the line, I am the one having the short end of the stick. You know what? I don’t need your money and instead of you thinking of a marriage that is lost already you should start channeling your thoughts elsewhere because the pregnancy is here and not there.”

“Nonye we can’t get married. My family, friends, everybody that we know will hate us for this betrayal. We have done enough damages already, why don’t we cut our losses now.”

“We can’t get married but you can get me pregnant?” she asked. “What will you family and friends say if they get to know that you are advising me for an abortion at this moment. I didn’t know you are such a coward. You know what? When you are ready to act like a man and own up to what you want and your responsibility, you know where to find me. The earlier we get started on something meaningful, the better. Have a nice day.” She concluded dropping the test result on his laps before making for the door.

He sighed regrettably running his hand through his hair. Reaching out for his intercom, he pulled it and pressed a button.

“Clear my schedules.” He ordered as the line connected.


TBC

Nonye


She’d been checking her phone continuously since she sent him the message; he’d neither called nor replied. She had thought he was going to call her immediately the message delivered but that seemed not to be the case. She was moved to call him but had a rethink; she still has the ace card and would wait to use it to her favor.

Rose


********

She has never had a good rapport with her mother and as they sat at the family sitting room it was very awkward. She’d resorted to looking round the large sitting room while her mother was busy with her ipad raising her head from it at interval to ask her for some minutes.

It had been a while she visited the main house so the new fittings held her attention. She would give anything just to be done with whatever she had to discuss with her. Taking a look at her time, she looked up at her mother and sighed silently clearing he throat at the same time.

“I am sorry,” she apologized raising her head from the ipad finally. “I was …….” She started but Rose cut her short respectfully.

“It’s ok, you don’t have to explain.”

They stared at each other for a moment without words before Rose looked away. She would have held her gaze if they had any deep connection but….. On the other end, her mother had regrets weighing her down. She’d given up her daughter in pursuit of wealth, now she has all that money could afford but not her daughters love or affection. She wasn’t known to be one that shows emotions but if only she could turn the hands of time.

“How are you Rosemary?” she asked breaking the silence hanging around them.

“I am fine.” She shrugged still avoiding her gaze.

She can’t even call her mum. She winced in her heart.

“How is your marriage plans coming up?”

Right on spot she thought, exactly what she was waiting for.

“There is no marriage or plans coming up.” She replied nonchalantly looking up to hold her mums gaze because she wanted it to sink in.

Her reply threw her off for a moment but she didn’t show it. She let a moment of silence pass before heaving a deep sigh.

“What is the problem?”

She’d had it. She has actually told her exactly the situation of things and wouldn’t want to sit there explaining anything to her. If she needs any further explanation, she should call Richard. Picking her keys and bag she stood up and straightened her gown.

“With all due respect, I will be taking my leave now.” With that she headed towards the door and left. At the end it was easier than she’d expected.


Favor


******
She watched her boss lying unconsciously not knowing if she was going to make it out alive or not. She held her hand crying and thinking of what to do. She had actually gone home and luckily for her the demon wasn’t at home. She’d picked the phone and left as fast as she could. Sniffing, she pulled her hand away and walked out from the ward. She needs to do something instead of sitting and crying.

Leaning on the wall, she scrolled through her boss’ call log. She could only see a particular number occupying her call log. She clicked on the call history and couldn’t make out anything from that. She seemed to have been calling the number but there is no record that they have actually talked as the call timer indicated zero.

She contemplated for while before deciding to call the number and see where it leads.


David

He was having difficulty sleeping. He was feeling tensed and unsettled. He’d been expecting to hear from the company which he had interview but they have not contacted him yet. He was beginning to doubt if actually his excellent performance was going to land him the job. They had told him that they were going to get back to him but till that moment….nothing. He sighed again rolling to the end of the wall placing his bare back to the wall. The cold temperature of the wall sometimes has a way of sorting him to sleep.

The wall therapy didn’t work as he stretched reaching out for his phone to check his messages box again. He contemplated on calling Rose but deemed it to be late as his time said 11:30pm. Placing the phone away gently, he picked a pillow to cover his head when the phone started ringing. He jumped and immediately and reached out to the phone with all hopes that it was the expected call but the caller ID gave him the shock of his life; LYDIA. He stared at the phone as it kept ringing bringing back all the memories that were slowly fading away. His pulse was racing a bit as he watched the call ring to the end without answering. The call came again few seconds after the first ring. It had been like seven months and now she was calling him by that time of the night. Clearing his throat, he flipped his finger on the green icon and placed the phone on his ear.

“Hello.” He heard a quaking voice. It didn’t sound like Lydia. He could recorgnize her voice even in slumber. The voice sounded tired and unsure.

“Hello, who are you?” He asked.

“My name is Favor….?”

“Favor what can I do for you?”

“Its my madam, she is dying… she is admitted in the hospital and is in coma.” She cried subtly. His heart beat increased immediately. So many thoughts rushed into his mind.

“Who is your madam?”

“Lydia.. madam Lydia.” The girl cried from her end.

“What is wrong.. what happened to her?” he asked trying to keep calm but everything in him was already on hyper.

“Please you need to come to the hospital…. The doctor said I should call her relatives.”

“But I am not……..” he started trailing off. “Which hospital are you?”

David

***********
He just came out from an interview that looked promising. The past few days had seen him preparing for the interview that he virtually had nothing to eat or think about anybody. As he exited the company he pulled out his phone and dialed her number. Though he has been busy but he missed her and wanted to hear from her.

“Hey!” he said as the line connected.

“Hi” her voice came excited from the other end of the phone.

“Seems like someone missed me.”

“And who could that be?” she threw back at him.

“I don’t know but someone sounds excited like……”

“Like what?”

“Like…… how are you?” he diverted.

“No..” she screamed into his ears. “I aint taking that.”

“Alright alright excited like she missed me.”

“Look at you, well I did miss you a bit.”

“Yea.. a bit sounds ok. Missed you more than a bit.”

“Yea right but you haven’t called to show.”

“Sorry about that. I have been busy preparing for an interview which I just came out from now.”

“Interview? Didn’t know…….” She trailed off realizing there was so much they didn’t know about each other.”

“Yea… I know you don’t, so much we don’t know about each other.”

“Ummm!!!..” she started but he cut in before she could finish.

“Rose?” he called.

“Yea..” she answered with anticipation.

“Can I take you to dinner?”

“Yeeeeeee!!!” she screamed into his ears. “Are you asking me out on a date?”

“Seems like that is what I just did.”

He’d been reluctant about taking that step. He didn’t want it to seem like he was pushing too far. Though they’ve had something but he didn’t want to be seen as the one catching feeling.

“Ummmhh!!.. Dave can we reschedule?” she started. “I have some family meeting to attend.”

“Ohh!! That hurts.” He joked.

“C’mon, please understand, I regret that this meeting had to come up coincidentally.”

“It’s ok, I understand.”

“Will make it up to you.”

“Hey don’t sound like you owe me or something.”

“Yea I know but will still make it up to you.” She persisted.

They talked more before saying the goodbyes. He had mixed feelings as he took a byke heading home, maybe he shouldn’t have asked. He wasn’t sure how she was going to take it and what the outcome of it all was going to be like. Well that was it, he asked and whatever happens after it’s up to her.

Rose

The call from her mum was actually to notify her that she was in the country and would like to meet at home. She knows that whatever she was calling her for must have to do with her proposed marriage and to know the level of preparation.

Nonye

She closed the door to her car and heaved a big sigh placing the envelope on her laps. She already knows the result of the test she ran even before it came out. The signs had been there; the sudden weakness, nausea and other subtle signs of early pregnancy. Dipping her hand into the envelope, she pulled out the white paper and smiled at it. It was time to kick start her plans. She picked her phone beside her and type a message, “WE NEED TO SEE; IT IS IMPORTANT” and sent to him. Placing the envelope on the side seat, she turned the key on the ignition and drove off.


Richard

His phone beeped just at the right time. The tension in the room was strong and he so much needed something to lightened it. His father; a man of few words has been asking him deep question which he couldn’t find justifiable answers to leaving him rambling.

His countenance contoured as he read the message without knowing that his father’s eyes were on him. He murmured a curse before looking up to meet his fathers’ gaze.

“What is it son?”

“Umm… Emm…” he stuttered, “It’s nothing, just some work issues.”

“Work issues?”

“Yes Dad, it’s nothing,”

“Ok. For what it’s worth,” his dad started, “You have not given me any convincing answer as to why there is a delay in your marriage plan. I don’t get myself in anything of shame which you very well know. So if you are developing a cold feet, I’d advise you come out clean and we would know how to handle it.”

“Dad I am not developing a cold feet. The truth is that we are having a little issue, asides that everything remains intact.”

“I have my doubts but I will leave you to it.”

“I will take care of it Dad. He reassured him before relaxing back to the seat.”

Nonye

Clad in a bum pant and a crop top, she matched lively down the stairs with a cup of juice and phone on her ear. Settling on the couch, she sipped from the cup still listening to the person on the other end.

“Alright, see you when I see you.” She said and dropped the call.

Picking the TV remote control from the table, she changed the channel to Zee world before relaxing back. She smiled to herself robbing her hand over her tummy. Yes, her plans were falling into shape and it was only a matter of time. She already missed her period and upon that, her organs have started reacting mostly noticeable on her boobs. She hasn’t heard from him since their last sexcapede but she wasn’t so much worried, very soon, he will be flooding her phone with calls. She’d definitely wait a little more before going to get a test result.


Richard

Everybody was on his neck about the preparation for his upcoming wedding. Calls were coming in from everywhere asking what is going on and yet he didn’t have the slightest answer to give. It has gotten to the extent that friends and family are thinking that he is developing a cold feet. He was running out of excuse to give and if he didn’t do anything, the truth will be out sooner.

He was still with his thought when his phone rang. On sighting the caller, he sighed and relaxed back knowing that things were becoming real serious.

“Hello Dad”

His father hardly invites him during weekdays for a discussion and that he just did. Without hesitation, he picked his phone and left.


************
He rode the elevator thinking of the excuse to give his father with regards to the delay in his wedding plan. His old man isn’t one that usually involves himself in such talks but anything time he gets involved; it always takes a whole new level. He’d been searching for the excuse to give him but few steps to his office he was yet to come up with something concrete.



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

Lydia

She was bleeding out as the nurses wheeled her to the emergency room with her help running after them crying. She was doing her chores when she had the ruckus going on in her madam’s room. She’d left what she was doing and rushed up to meet the horrible scene. She had watched as her boss manhandled his wife before raping her. After having his fill, he’d left her in the pool of her own blood unconcerned. That wasn’t the first time she had watched him beat her up but that was the first time she was seeing such a horrible thing.

After he left, she had rushed out to call a cab and with the help of the gate keeper, they had carried her to the car which brought her to the hospital.

She squatted at the door to the emergency room crying. She knew that the man she walked for was an animal but didn’t know he was that horrible. She hasn’t seen such a thing and the fear of her boss’ life gripped her. She didn’t know what to do or who to call if anything should happen to her boss. For the whole time she’d lived with them she hasn’t seen any of her relative or friends. At first she had wondered how a lady like her boss could live a life of no wok, friends or family, but, it wasn’t long before her doubts were cleared; she’d gotten involved with the devil.
She sprang up and rushed towards the doctor who just came out from the ward where her madam was admitted. Stopping few steps ahead of him she clasped her hands around her bossom shaking as the doctor stared at her expressionless.

“Please, how is she?” she asked breaking the silence.

“What happened to her?” he asked ignoring her question.

“I… eee.” She stuttered.

“How are you related to her?” he continued.

“I am her help?”

“I need to see her family members?” she concluded and walked past her in quick strides while she ran after him crying.

Apart from her boss’s husband she didn’t know any other person as she’d never seen her madam with any friend or relative. Who was she going to call? She doesn’t see herself going back to the house to meet the monster. Worst been that her madams phone was at home and to get it she must have to go home.


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

Rose

It had been few days since they talked and it seemed like years already. She’d actually been suppressing the urge to call him every day. It had been difficult but she had to bury herself into her work in order to assuage the urge. Despite the attraction and feeling she wanted to take it slow, though she was falling deeper into him. Things would have been different if the issues surrounding her past relationship has been resolved but until then, she was going to put a cog to it.

She was having a busy day going through some files and making series of calls. She’d been on it since morning and was beginning to get tired. Straightening up, she yawned relaxing back to the chair and just then her phone started ringing. Looking at the caller, she hesitated before reaching out for the phone. Her mum hardly calls. Taking a deep breath she swiped on the green icon.

“Hello?”

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

“Ma’am” her secretary called for the umpteenth jolting her.

“Yes?”

“I could come back.” She said curtly.

“No, it’s ok. What were you saying?”


Her body had actually left him but not her mind and spirit. She couldn’t get the images and moments of the day before from her mind. He has fanned a new flame into her life. Now she feels alive again. She couldn’t get the awesome sex out of her mind; the thought of it alone was getting her all wetted up. Right there her secretary was reading out her schedules but she was so lost in thought of him. She was anticipating hearing from him.

That morning as she woke up, everything was set out for her. He already set a warm bath for her, breakfast was ready and so was her cloths neatly laid out. To say that she was amazed would be saying the least. She had reluctantly left the bed after wishing for the hand of time to go on reverse. If only he could see her mind, if only he knew that she didn’t want to go. If only he could ask her to stay a little more but instead he was busy making sure that she won’t go to work late. Not like she has a list, but no man has ever treated her that special.

While she had her breakfast, he’d dashed in to shower giving her room to do what she wanted. Knowing that she had limited time left, she pulled out her check book and wrote him a check. Dropping it on the bed she hurried out before he came out.


David

Toweling his face as he exited the room, he stopped abruptly on noticing her absence. He looked around and there was no sign of her. Surprised, he moved to the door and peeped out and to his utmost dismay her car was gone. He had mixed feelings but wasn’t abysmally surprised.
Shrugging, he tried to dismiss the thoughts of her actions from his mind. Lydia has thought him that no matter how good you are, people don’t need reasons to hurt you.

He was making for the wardrobe when the piece of paper on the bed caught his eyes; beside it was a complimentary card and a check. He picked the check and neatly written on it is the sum of one hundred and fifty thousand naira. Putting the check aside he read the note.

‘Whatever it is, don’t sell it’

He was stunned gaping at the note. How did she know? Did she eavesdrop on him? He was surprised and a whole lot relived. Picking up his phone from the bed, he dialed the number on her complimentary card.

“At least I could have seen you off.” He said as the line connected.

“Big girls can always find their way.” She retorted smiling.

“Just as they can cry and be shy too?” he teased.

“C’mon don t rub it in.”

“Hey not trying to rub it on you.”

“Yea right. Whatever, but you just did.”

“Mea culper.” He murmured touching his heart while she laughed hard from her end. A little moment of silence passed before he cleared his throat.

“You eavesdropped on me last night.”

“Nah, I didn’t, just happened to be awake when you were whispering over the phone.”

“And …..”

“I didn’t want you to be embarrassed by walking in on you or asking why you were doing that.”

“But this is big.” He said meekly

“I hope it helps.” She retorted.

They talked more before finally ending the call leaving him with a deep breath of relieve.



Lydia


********
It was one week since she came back from the hospital and yet there was no communication between them. She barely saw him at home. Its either he was off to work before she step out from her room or he already called it in. After two days of finding the dinner which she left for him untouched, she stopped leaving dinner for him. She’d resorted to making what will be enough for herself alone. On few occasions when she happened to run into him in the sitting room, he either left before she could say the greetings or won’t say a word to her. But that night as she laid on her bed deep in thought, a knock sounded jolting her from her thought. She listened as the knock came again. She didn’t want to believe it was Nicolas.

“Who’s there?” she asked standing hesitantly on the bed.

“It’s me, Nicolas.” Came his voice which sent fears down her spine. She took a moment to gather herself before walking to the door.

“Is everything ok?” she asked with fear noticeable in her voice.

“Yes, just want to discuss something with you.” Came his calm reply.

She unlocked the door and stood face to face with him. As usual, he was looking calm and handsome. She had a deep fear etched in her soul as he ran his eyes all over her before holding her gaze.

“Can I come in?” he asked harmlessly.

She nodded and left the door taking slow steps to her bed. What was he up to? She thought. Since ever the series of domestic violence started, his calmness always conveys fear into her.

“How was your day?” he asked settling beside her on the bed while she recoiled with goose bumps all over her at the contact of the skin.

She shrugged avoiding his probing eyes.

“Umm…,” he started, “ I’m sorry for the past few days…….”

Those were the dreaded words she feared hearing from him. She could feel his eyes roaming all over her and knew that it was just a matter of time before the devil in him rears its head. She stood up slowly and pulled at the strings of her night wear which came off effortlessly forming a pool at her feet. She stepped out and stood before him watching as he swallowed hard. She knew that was what he wanted and would get it no matter how she resisted. She didn’t want the torture and pains that would come with resisting him.

Slowly he stood up and walked slowly to her.

“You are …..” he started running his hands around her jugs before grabbing them gently. She closed her eyes disgusted by his touch while he fondled her breast. Slowly he bent down and took one into his mouth while his hand still held to one. Anger simmered through her as he suckled on her like a baby. Suddenly he chewed hard on her nipple sending a wave of hot pain down into her. She winced trying to hold back, she didn’t want to satisfy him with a show of pain. He went at it again drawing it long and hard. This time he drew blood.

He went mad immediately at the sight of blood. He became violent sending his fist across her face. She was partially blinded by the slap as she staggered back trying to regain herself. His fist came again and again to her face before she felt a cruciating pain delivered by a well targeted punch at her stomach. The punch had sent her crashing on the floor passing out.

He stood and watched her for a while before delivering kicks successively to her stomach and ribs bringing her back to consciousness. She coughed out a ball of blood on coming back to consciousness. That seemed to have aroused him more as he bent and punched her nose breaking it immediately as blood gushed out. The mass of blood seemed to have aroused his urges as he toured on his short and singlet throwing it to god knows where. She had relapsed back to unconsciousness bleeding from every pore on her. Parting her legs in the mist of her own blood, he tore off her lingerie and without hesitation burrowed his shaft into her letting out a deep moan.


TBC

***********
He watched as she slept peacefully admiring her beauty. She was harmless and fragile. He’d gently shifted away from her in other to prepare something. It was late and he didn’t know if she’d had anything for the day considering how she came to his house.

Throwing his duvet over her as the fan was on, he threw some clothes on, picked the last money from his wallet together with her keys and left. Since she left her car outside, he needed to bring it in after which he’d proceed to get the few things he will need to make a quick dinner of bread and egg sauce.



ROSE


She tilted her nose inhaling the aroma of something very delicious which was disturbing her from the peaceful and dreamless sleep.

“Molly” she murmured stretching and yawning. She still felt like going back to sleep but the aroma which have woken the worms in her stomach reminding her that she’d not had anything wouldn’t let her.

Yawning again, she reached out to throw the duvet off her body but it felt different. She felt it again before drawing it closer to her nose; his scent filled her nostril bringing back memories.

She smiled and folded the duvet around her burying her face in it. For how long she slept she didn’t know but she sure wasn’t in a hurry to leave; not again. Beside her, neatly folded was a big polo which she knew was meant for her. She had a strange euphoria washing through her as her mind wandered back to the awesome sex. Suddenly his phone rang from the kitchen disrupting her thoughts.

Picking the top, she threw it over her unclothedness and stepped down to meet him in the kitchen. She was few steps when she noticed he was murmuring into his phone. Her senses became alert as she eavesdropped on him. She couldn’t believe her ears as she listened to his part of the conversation. When he ended the call, she slowly tiptoed back to the bed.


DAVID

He talked in low tune in other not to wake her and again so that she wouldn’t over hear what he was saying. He wasn’t proud of what he was doing either. He had contacted his generator repairer to look for a buyer for his generator set and he just called back to inform him that he found someone. Though the asking price was way below what he could get for it on a normal day but he had no option even as he tried to up the price a bit. Finally, when they agreed on a price, they shifted the exchange to take place the following day; probably his visitor would have gone by then.

After setting out the meal on a tray, he carried it to the room only to find her awake.

“Hey! you are awake.”

She nodded with a smile perched at the corners of her lips admiring him with the tray of food on his hand. His presence always affected her and at that moment she was shy remembering again the escapades of few hours ago. He was smiling at her which increased her shyness as she reached out for the duvet to cover her face. He busted out laughing at her action while placing the tray of food beside her.

“Hey don’t go five years old on me please.” he teased laughing.

“Leave me alone….” She cooed laughing through the duvet.

“Alright.. alright .. I won’t look at your face or let me just get a plate and cut my own portion.”

“No…” she protested with her face still buried on the duvet. “But promise you aint going to look at my face.”

He busted out laughing at her, he couldn’t help it.

“Ok I promise…”

“Across your heart?”

“No, across my stomach because right now I’m so famished.”

She slowly threw the duvet off and raised her head, he had his eyes on her face. She looked away smiling only that she didn’t reach for the sheets again.

“Now if you are done, we could say the grace and eat.”

She nodded signifying that she was ready. She smiled and closed her eyes as he pronounced and did the sign of the cross. She couldn’t remember the last time she did the sign of the cross or said her prayers before meal and right there he was reminding her the need to be thankful to God for everything; her heart was touched.

They chorused amen at the end of his prayer before picking on the food in silence. She couldn’t remember any day such has happened to her. With Richard it was always to eat out or probably order in. Though sometimes she managed to cook but that was one aspect she lacked skills, she wasn’t a good cook.

How could a guy cook something this delicious? She thought. He sure was a good cook. She would have been scooping the sauce into her mouth if she was alone.

“Sorry I didn’t wake you earlier, didn’t want to disturb your sleep.”

“So thoughtful of you because you wouldn’t have heard the last of it by now.”

He laughed covering his mouth to avoid a spill. Imagine that coming from someone that had barely looked at his face. He’d thought she was going to demand to take her leave once she woke up.

“I brought your car in and there,” he motioned to the table, “is your hand bag and phone, figured you might need them.”

She smiled.

“Thank you.”

They relapsed into silence once again digging slowly into their food.


After the meal she made to clear the dishes but he refused slapping her hands away gently.

“Hey.. let me help, at least to do something.” She protested.

He ignored her and left with the dishes but she was right behind him.

“At least let me do something worth paying for the meal.” The words were out before she could take them back.

He turned and looked at her expressionlessly before continuing on his track. The look conveyed everything words couldn’t say.

“I am sorry,” she started, “I didn’t mean to sound like that.” she apologized in the most pitiable way she could stopping at the entrance of the kitchen while leaning on the door post with her eyes fixed on him. She felt terrible having killed the friendly air around them. She didn’t mean it the way he was taking it.

He shrugged without words loading the plates into the sink.

“David..?”

“I got you there.” He turned to her laughing. He didn’t take what she said to heart but just wanted to play a fast one on her which he succeeded in doing.

She couldn’t believe it. So it was all being a joke? She felt like jumping on him with punches.

“You are……” she trailed off searching for the right words.

“Whatever.” He interrupted her thoughts.

Leaving the door post, she walked to the sink and joined him in rinsing the plates.

NONYE


They both laid wasted on the couch breathing heavily. It was another long one for them and she just got him where he wanted. She’d actually been off her pills for over one week and now she allowed him empty his sack into her at the peak of her ovulation. Rolling off the couch she picked her undies and gown leaving for the restroom allowing him his moment.

He’d barely recovered from his orgasmic bliss when quilt encroached his mind. How could he have repeated same mistake? He cursed and bemoaned his stupidity but was suddenly interrupted by the ringing of his phone. Picking it up from the table, he checked the caller and sighed before swiping his finger across the phone.

“Mum?” he said.
