Right now, right here, with me hidin' & watchin'. I've already called him.... He is on the way."The weather was cool, the sun was settin' & the wind was blowin' mildly, raisin' dust & polythene that were a signature mark of the everyday Nigerian market. The air smelled of rain & the clouds looked light purple, it was quite a beautiful sight. But as Bryan passed the crudely made tables that served as a store for many of the market woman that sold at school front (which is literally any region that is located in front of the Schools main entrance gate), he didn't notice any of those things. Rose was not feelin' fine.... that was not cool sha, but he was really glad that he has an excuse to see her. Yes, he promised himself to stop thinkin' about her but he couldn't help it, there was somethin' that attracted him to her...& God, that kiss they shared still lingered in his thoughts... Even when he kissed Vicky, all he could do was imagine she was Rose. He was losin' it, he knew but he couldn't help it. He knew he was in deep sh*t, not only is she his girlfriend's best friend but after the deal he made with his Dad, there is no hope for both of them. But here he was goin' to get drugs for her. Vicky had told him that she had malaria fever, so that was exactly what he got for her, a malaria tablet.
"I will control myself...I will behave myself....I will control myself... I will behave myself" he kept sayin' as he walked towards where the bike men arranged themselves, dire
"God for all the bad things I've ever done, I'm very, very, very, very sorry... but please don't punish me this way, please I beg you. I don't know how you will do it, but please stop Bryan from comin', this rain that wants to fall...let it fall..fall...fa
"You agree, shey?" Vicky asked quietly, her eyes still red from all the cryin' she has been doin'. I hate this, I hate this so much, to see my friend in so much pain & know that I'm part of the cause but the truth is that I can't really help it. I wish I could explain it...I wish I could explain how I feel but there really isn't any word I could think of. Vicky is my best friend but the feelings I have for Bryan is somethin' that even I can't control.
"I swear if I find out who that b*tch is, I'm gonna make her wish she wasn't born!"
At that moment I realised this same thing happens to 99.9% of girls both in and out of the university. When they find out that their guy is cheatin' on them, Most girls tend to turn the anger towards their fellow girls which doesn't make sense to me at all....maybe it's the guilt talkin', but if me & Byran were to be caught, the proper thing would be for Vicky to bark out at the both of us...but the reverse is mostly the case, she would have me skinned alive for "draggin'" her boyfriend into cheatin' with me...like if I tied a rope to his neck & forced him to "do it". But seriously, I really think this is how most girls view cheatin' cases. They blame just "the other girl" & forget that it takes two to tangle.
"But Vicky I really don't understand how me seducin' Bryan will make you find out who he is cheatin' with" I said, hopin' this would make her see sense & cancel this whole charade.
"I know this doesn't really make sense to you, she said. But I just want to know if he is capable of cheatin', once that has been confirmed, then I can find out who the b*tch he is bangin' is." The anger in her eyes was so intense, it was like fire burnin' right in front of me, I've never been this scared in my life. If Vicky finds out that I'm in any way connected to Bryan in any sexual way (even if we haven't really done anythin') I won't be surprised if she uses her connection to get me thrown into SARS or maybe even somethin' worse but I can't really see anythin' worse than SARS, you get beaten, raped (if you are a girl) disgraced publicly & killed brutally at the end. I needed to find a way to end this whole plan of hers because if it goes through, it won't be good for me at all. Bryan has a greater chance of gettin' out of this mess, apart from the fact that he is her guy & hence he is seen as the Victim (don't know how girls always end up with this conclusion... But it's the daily occurrence that is always seen in cases like am in) he is also the son of a multi-billionai
"Please calm down, I hate seein' you like this, besides you could be wrong." I said, tryin again to dissuade for the 1 millionth time.
"NO I'M NOT!!!!" She screamed! "He is not the Bryan I know, at least not anymore.... He has changed. He is never around & even when he is...he's always in a hurry to get out...to go to her. It's almost as if he is snubbin' me...Like big time. I don't know what to do anymore. I love him. I love him so much" And with that fresh tears flowed down her cheeks. God help me to hate Bryan, I don't want to feel anythin' anymore. I don't want to hurt my friend. Before I could say any word of comfort, there was a knock on my door.
"Open up, I think it's him" Vicky whispered to me, while cleanin' her tears.
"Do you really want to go through with this, it could end badly for all of us...it could change how we relate if you are wrong. For the last time are you sure?" I whispered back. She thought for a while.
knock!!
knock!!
"Open up, I'm sure" she finally said & went into my wardrobe.
"Who is it?" I asked in a lowish-sickish tone, tryin' to get into my part as the sick Rose that am suppose to be.
"It's me."
I didn't need to ask again, I recognised that cool voice, the voice that rang in my head whenever I'm lost in thoughts. I opened the door & when I saw him, I lost all reasonin'. It's been so long I saw him, it's been so long since we have been this close, since Michael we have been keepin' our distance.
"Hey you, I heard you were sick" he said & looked at me keenly.
"Yeah...malaria.
"Please come in"
He walked in ever graciously... Or maybe that's just all in my head.
"I got you Lumartem & to make sure you eat somethin', I got you fried rice from ORANGE & apples. Hope that's okay by you" I couldn't help but smile. Bryan would have made an awesome boyfriend. He is indeed on the carin' side, which is hard to find in most guys these days but not to be on one side of the war. Some girls can also be mean, they are good at receivin' but not at givin'.
"It's perfect, thank you" I said.
"You really should be more careful with your health. Always close your window once it's evenin', don't stay out too late & always keep your environment clean to avoid mosquito from breedin' around you...okay"
"Hahahaha...yes
At that moment Vicky gave me a sign to seduce him. God if you are really up there show me, its now or never.
"Uhmmm...Bryan would you mind sittin' with me on the bed?" He raised one of his brow & looked at me funny....I didn't know if he suspected somethin' was up or maybe he thought of it as an invitation... God please let it be the "Former".
"okay" he simply said with a shrug & sat down very close to me. Bryan was backin' Vicky since my wardrobe was directly opposite to my bed & couldn't really see his facial expressions but
"Uhmmmm....can you feel my temperature & know how hot I am" I immediately grabbed his hands & placed it on my chest, very close to my breast. His eyes were then fixated on my breasts, he seemed to be in another realm altogether, or maybe it was just his mind that wasn't there as his imagination took him to a destination different from ours.
"Wha...what are you doin'?" he stammered. This is the first I've seen Bryan out of composure. This both shocked & excited me. It also gave me the moral to continue, forgettin' that Vicky was hidin' in the wardrobe.
"Nothin' o...just wanted you to check my temperature. Abi are you not my doctor again?" I said with a big grin on my face. He removed his hands from my chest as if my chest was a hot iron.
"I can see that you are really sick....you ain't thinkin' straight ." he said. This should have pleased me, he wasn't goin' to be seduced, but instead I was kind of angry...is Bryan over me? Doesn't he feel anythin' anymore for me???
"Bryan, how about you damp my body with cold water, so that my temperature will come down" when he didn't move at all I added "Please!"
He moved reluctantly to my kitchen & got a small bowl of water & my small towel to damp me with....when started... He stopped suddenly, I traced his vision to see that he was lookin' at my lips....Vicky couldn't see this, but if he wants to do what I think he wants to do, then we are gonna be in deep sh*t. He moved a little closer...& closer. At this moment I couldn't see Vicky's face, he was obstructin' my line of vision. No, Bryan don't do this, it's a trap & I'm sorry I led you on but please STOP!!. I screamed in my mind, prayin' that maybe somehow I was telepathic. But he didn't.
knock!!
knock!! "Is anyone in there""Michael!!!" I screamed out of joy. & once again he saves me. Indeed he is an angel, he must be... There isn't any other way to explain it.
"I'll get the door." Bryan said.
When Michael stepped in, I ran to him, held him tightly & kissed him. I didn't know where all that came from, but from his surprised look...neither did he.
"Okaaaay....I miss you too" he said with a smile. Bryan smiled one of those highly noticeable fake smiles.
"Abeg Abeg, make una no dey make me jealous. Ma babe no dey here." If only he knew that she was just few feet from him.
"You sure you are ill...your temperature is okay" Michael said as he felt my forehead.
"But I have a serious headache" I said, I couldn't blow my cover. He stood up from my bed. And stretched his hands to me.
"Come, let's go & get you tested so that we will know what exactly is wrong with you. Treatin' yourself when you are not sure what exactly the problem is very wrong & dangerous.... Always remember that."
"Yes doctor." I smiled & got up. It was over. We (me & Bryan) didn't just dodge a bullet, we dodged a missile.
"But how did you know I was sick?" I asked, wonderin'.
"Oh that....I saw Bryan in school front just when he was about boarding a bike to your lodge. I would have followed him but I had an errand to run for my H.O.D as per the course rep, I hope you are not angry I didn't come immediately??" He said puttin' on his most charmin' face. Lols...how can I get angry with that.
"No am not...I understand. Thanks for comin'"... "u saved me" I completed in my mind.
I was dressed okay, so we simply went out. I locked my door but gave the key to Sosa and told him what's up so that he could open it for Vicky. Bryan hugged me & said goodbye.
"Vicky suspects you. She was in my room right now. We'll talk later, be more careful from hence forth" I said then broke off from the hug.
The bike stopped infront of AMAKA'S LODGE, Michaels lodge. Funny name for a lodge right...I know.
"What are we doing here?" I asked.
"I read your signals" he simply said.
"What signals?" I asked.
"You aren't sick....you are just sick of your lodge, so I'm here to unbore you!" He answered with that innocent smile of his that I doubted was anythin' but innocent.
"If you want to unbore me, take me out.... Let's go to Owerri & flex a little" Even though I wasn't the flexin' type I was up for somethin' new. And he was right, I was dead bored of my room. I needed a little excitement. Well Bryan was a lot of that...but I needed excitement in other areas.
"Owerri....nah!
"Whatever you are plannin' to do, it won't happen...& I'm goin' to make sure of that." I smiled innocently ...two can play this game.
"Oooooh.....is that what you think?...we shall see.""Indeed we shall" I said tryin' to mimic the old England English....poor
"Come with me." He said while draggin' me at the same time.
We went up to his room & immediately we were in his room he grabbed me tightly & kissed me. My mind exploded....I saw fireworks & rainbows & tasted of mint, probably from the chewin' gum I noticed him chewin' when he came over to my lodge. When we stopped to catch our breath I still had my eyes closed, when I opened them some seconds later, I saw Michael lookin' at me and smilin'.
"Our first kiss..." He said with a smile.
"Now tell me how I'll get you out of my head when you keep doing this" Michael said.
"Doin' what?" I asked.
"Lettin' me kiss you....& enjoyin' it" I couldn't say anything, I wanted more...more & more. I wanted him to stop talkin' & kiss me like his life depended on it.
"I'm glad you enjoyed that, that means you will love what's will follow" & then he pulled his shirt off & that was when my brain kicked to reboot.
"Hold up!, what are you doing?"
"Hahahaha....gi
"I'm serious.... What the hell are you doin'?"
"Chill gurl!, I just want to take a bathe"
"Oh....well if that's the case you may proceed.""But before then ,let me get my generator started so that you won't feel hot." He ran downstairs & few minutes later the lights came on. He had a full TV set, with home theatre & a GoTv satellite. I got the remote & set the channel to Nickelodeon, I am a cartoon freak just incase I failed to mention...
"Really??.... Nickelodeon?? At this your age?" he said when he got back in.
"Since when did lovin' somethin' have an age limit?"
"Since it has to do with cartoons...come
"Duuuuurh.....a
"If you want my trouble, all you had to do was ask" he said with sexy smile on his face. If there was an award for "Most seductive smile" Michael will definitely have it.
"Get off me you silly boy & go & take your bathe!"
"Say please...."
"& why the hell will I do that?""Haha....you Never ready be that" he said in pidgin while laughin' that his laugh that sounded like a musical Instrument ....on a very serious note it kind of does.
"I can see you ain't ready to bath....let's just stay here naa. It's not like I have anythin' better to do." "So you want to claim stubborn abi?....come ooon " please you can't say" Before I knew what was happenin' he let go of my hands & started ticklin' me.
"Please....pleas
"Ooooh...so it's now you want to beg. I thought you were claimin' strong girl, well it's too late...I change my mind".
" Michael please naa....Abeg naa.... I'm not claimin' anythin'...PLEA
"Michael love....open up, it's me Alexandra." to be cont.....
