Finding me episode 6

Finding me
Episode 6
The next morning Esiri and his friend prepared to leave for warri. He started giving me attitude.
I had no idea why.
Before leaving, he gave me his phone to put my number, which I did with sleepy eyes.
He left with a “I would call you when I get home”
I nodded sleepily before going back to sleep.
That morning we went to a buka for breakfast. We had akamu and akara. The woman’s akara is pretty good.
While we were there, Leo came to meet Ola and Jeff.
I had no idea he was coming.
I rid myself of every emotion, something I had grown to be pretty good at doing.
Ola noticed something was amiss so he kept staring at the both of us, trying to find God knows what.
After eating, Jeff paid the woman and we stood up to leave.
I was wearing a dark pink polo that hugged my body like a second skin.
Ola stared at my chest and said something to Jerry, causing him to laugh and look at me.
I arched a brow.
“What are you guys laughing about?” I asked causing Ola to laugh again.
Trust Ola to speak his mind, “Your b-obs are standing and looking fuller this morning. The sight is attractive” he said laughing and I hit him playfully on the arm.
I saw Leo looking at my chest before he diverted his gaze.
The jerk.
He had gotten it all. He had been the first to claim it . I knew that was the thought running through his head.
I hated him.
I hated myself for feeling cheap.
I thought the saying of how a woman never forgets her first and always craves for more was applicable to everyone.
But why not me?
We got home and I went straight to the bathroom. I felt a presence at the door and heard Jeff’s voice.
“I want to see you” he said jokingly.
“Don’t you dare” I said with a playful stern voice.
“I want to see your face” he said laughing.
I opened the door, hiding my body behind the door.
“You have seen my face now, happy?” I asked with a smirk.
He brought his face closer, resting my forehead on his.
I stretched to give him a peck. That wasn’t enough.
He bit my lower lip softly before drawing it for a k-ss. His tongue dived into my mouth, making love to my mouth.
The feeling was a bliss.
Somewhere outside I heard Leo saying “Eriel I am off”.
I concentrated on the k-ss, forgetting every other thing.
Jeff was the one to withdraw.
He was breathing hærd .
” Your l-ips…, your k-sses, my God, it is something I could do forever” he said softly, his eyes on my l-ips.
I felt heat rise up my neck.
Every guy I had ever k-ssed said the samething. I loved k-ssing. I loved guys that could k-ss.
But d–n, Jeff was really good.
Too good.

“What’s up with you and Leo? I want to know the truth. I have seen you guys talking before and now you guys act like total strangers. You didn’t even bother telling him goodbye before he left” Ola said with a concerned face causing me to sigh.
Claron and Jane had gone to their ppa. Claron was the CLO at the local government while Jane was a teacher in a college. Jeff had gone out to handle his CDs project because he was the president of his cds.
So I was home alone with Ola.
“There is nothing up between us” I lied.
“Eriel we both know that’s not true” Ola said plainly.
“Yes it’s not. Leo is a big flirt. He goes after everything in skirt. He was the jerk I lost my V-rginity to. And instead of receiving the list bit of respect he acted like I was a bug on his shoulder. Me, Eriel. God knows I don’t cling to men. I hate them being clingy to me. After s€× I maintained my own lane, not wanting all the touchy touchy thingy from him or me giving it to him either and yet the last time I went to his house, after the s€×, he pushed me away like a rag doll and he started giving me the attitude. D–n him!” I bursted out, wiping a tear that had escaped from my eyes.
Ola hugged me and I felt more tears escape from my eyes. I never knew I had been this hurt.
“Why him? I thought yo had a thing with Will” Ola asked and I pulled back sniffing, trying to calm the rapid beating of my heart.
“Will was my friend’s boyfriend” I said with a shrug.
“Like that changes anything. I know Will, if he wants a girl, he would have her. I knew he wanted you” Ola said
“And he didn’t have me” I lied.
“Then why Leo?” Ola asked.
“I wanted someone I had no emotional attachment with to avoid the drama and I had a little crush on him in camp” and that was the truth, I had given myself to Leo thinking it would cause no drama, and now, my life itself was a drama.
“I understand you but I still find it hærd to believe that you were a V-rgin. I mean you are beautiful and desirable, any man would want a piece” Ola said with a playful smirk and I hit his arm playfully .
“I wish now that curiosity hadn’t gotten hold of me” I said truthfully.
“But you know a girl never forgets her first. At some point you guys would come together again” Ola said.
I shook my head, “there is no way in hell that’s happening” I said strongly.

So yes….it was finally the day I had been waiting for. The day I would get to wear my khaki for the last time.
My POP.
I was excited, I was going to be leaving this f—-d up state. I was going to be having nothing to do here anymore.
I saw so many people I knew from camp. I mixed up. I was happy. Super excited.
The que was something else though….but I finally got my certificate.
I gave my local government inspector one last sweet smile when all that was in mind was “f–k Nysc, it is finally over”
I took pictures with people I knew, even with those I had forgotten their names . Leo came to take a picture with me all smiling and I smiled in the picture.
I wasn’t going to allow an ass destroy the vibes of today.
I was looking extraordinarily pretty today. I knew because I had taken my time preparing.
Jeff and I left the local government after all the plenty pictures. Lol. He wasn’t a picture fan.
Jeff was org-nising our passing out party which was an all night in house party.
It was going to be fun. I knew because it was Jeff of course.
That night me and the girls prepared to party hærd. There was nothing stopping me from doing anything tonight.
I took my time with my makeup, making sure my brows were on fleek and my highlights and contour stood out.
I wore a black bodycon dress that hugged my body like a second skin and a pair of sneakers. I wore a neck piece, bangles and crystal earrings, packing my hair up in a bun.
I was ready to party.
The moment Jeff saw me, he couldn’t take his eyes off.
“Fish, keep staring and I would disappear” I teased him and he laughed.
“You look eatable, you no go blame me” he said still laughing.
“Fish” I teased hitting his arm.
“You look beautiful sincerely speaking” he said with no trace of smile and I felt heat rise up my neck.
“Thank you” i said smiling.
♠♠♠♠♠♠♠♠♠♠♠♠♠
The party was booming, Ola was still trying to high up all the girls though.
I wasn’t a spirit fan but that night I took it all. Not caring that I was mixing up different drinks all together .
I had never tried smoking before but that night was going to be my first. I was planning on exploring every side of fun without leaving any stone unturned.
Jeff stepped out when the guys started passing on weed abi SK, I was too high to even ask what it was but I took it taking my time to draw a smoke. The feeling was undescribable. I had never felt this way.
Claron took the weed from my hand giving it to a guy seated next to her.
“Oya Eriel, let’s step out, your eyes are barely open” she said laughing and she stood up, helping me up.
On our way outside, I saw Leo coming in.
“Eriel we need to talk” he said staring at me, ignoring Claron who was standing next to me.
“About?” I asked not even bothering to be polite, I was done being polite.I Gus’s the highness was helping too. I wasn’t doing that any more.
“You know” he said smiling before acknowledging Claron.
The bloody jerk. So he thinks he can get another lay because I had been so easy foolishly making him my first.
My steps were not straight and Claron laughed as I staggered.
“You are high” she said and I refused. We walked towards Jeff who had been making a call.
When he saw me, he laughed.
“You are high” he said causing Claron to laugh.
“A bit” I finally admitted. Claron led me to him, scared that I was going to miss my steps.
“Oya, take your property. I am going in,side” she said with a soft laughter.
Jeff pulled me close, bringing his l-ips down to mine.
“No more drinks for you” he said before his l-ips entangled with mine.
We stayed out for a bit and the air helped a bit. At least, by the time we got in,side I wasn’t staggering anymore.
The music had stopped and they were playing the devil’s basket by the time we got in.
I was dared to twerk in front of everyone. There was nothing there so I gladly stood up to do it. By the time I was done, Irene was sittinging next to Jeff and all the seats were occupied.
A guy sitting next to Claron suggested carrying me and I agreed. He looked awfully familiar. I think I had seen him around Will and Leo, once or twice.
The game went on and Irene was dared to make out with any guy of her choice and she chose Jeff.
I couldn’t watch. The guy carrying me noticed and he rubbed my back softly .
I had no idea what that was supposed to do. The next dare fell on Leo and he was dared to s–k on any girl’s n—-e for a minute and he chose me.
I saw Jeff watching and I noticed that Irene was no longer by his side.
When Leo came unto me, I didn’t stop him. He s—-d on mg n—-e for a minute and I felt nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
The next dare fell on me, and I was dared to k-ss Claron, which I did without thinking.
I went back to sit on the guy’s leg. We later got tired of the game because we had done everything, so we went back to dancing. I went ahead to dance with the guy I was with, trying to convince myself that I wasn’t trying to spite Jeff.
“I am Somto” he introduced himself.
“Eriel” I said with an innocent smile.
“I know, you are really quiet. Every time I see you, you are not talking” he said and I arched a brow.
“Really, you always meet me at the wrong time” I laughed.
“I would love to see you a…” He was cut off by Jeff.
“Bro, if you don’t mind?” Jeff asked causing Somto to step aside, going to look for mother dance partner.
He later ended up with Irene.
“I can’t watch that guy flirt with you” he said with an indifferent expression and I just shrugged.
“So what do you want?” I asked him while he led me away from where people were dancing to the bed.
He sat down first, pulling me to sit in between his legs.
“About Irene making out with me, I…” I cut him short.
“You don’t have to expain, you know?” I said.
“I know but I need to. I didn’t k-ss her back. It is true we had a thing once or twice and she was aware that we were both doing it for the fun.When she noticed I had a thing for you, she started acting up. I tried to make her see reason that I wasn’t dating her. I knew she was trying to put me in a tight corner when she chose to make out with me” He said in my ears because the music was pretty loud.
“So why are you telling me this?” I asked .
“Because I want you to know. I couldn’t watch you with that guy, he was all over you. He told Irene that he wanted to have s€× with her and she came to tell me, asking for a permission and I told her if she wanted it, why not. She was angry I had said that” He said with a sigh before he continued.
“The guy is a sharp guy, because the next thing I see, you are sitting on his leg and he is k-ssing your back” he said angrily.
“Hahahaha, he was, I didn’t even notice” I said laughing.
“I want you Eriel” Jeff said softly.
“After the s€×, what next? I can’t do this Jeff” I said pouring out my heart.
“I want you Eriel, to date you. You are a beautiful person. Beautiful in and out. You are thoughtful, intelligent and loveable. You are someone I want in my life. I don’t want to share that with anyone. Please Eriel, I need you to say yes” he said softly and I didn’t know what to say.
Probably because I had not been expecting it .
“You are not saying anything” he said in my ears, giving me goose bumps.
“Yes?” It sounded like a question when I had meant to say yes.
Jeff k-ssed me. The k-ss was probably the sweetest I had tasted.
I noticed people in the room were paired up in twos, the music had been reduced and no one was dancing anymore.
Jeff laid down, bringing my head down to his chest.
We stayed like that for a while before I spoke.
“Are you sleeping?” I asked softly. My head was banging.
“No, why?” He asked.
“I want you to f–k me” every sense of shame I had,had gone out the window.
“What did you say?” I was guessing he thought he had not heard correctly.
“I want you to f–k me” I repeated softly.
“Here?” He asked and I nodded.
“Here” I echoed.
He wasted no time, he was on me in seconds. I was going to have s€× in a room filled with people and I didn’t care.
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
I woke up with a banging headache the next morning, it was worse than the one of last night. Jeff was still holding me.
I stared around looking at my environment. Some people were on the other side of the room sleeping and cuddling. Some had started getting up.
Jeff k-ssed my forehead “Good morning babe, how was your night?”
I remembered the scenes of last night. Jeff k-ssing me and pinching my n-pples. Jeff touching my c–t . Jeff removing a c-ndomn from his wallet.
Jeff pushing my thing to the side before sliding into me. Jeff hitting the right places. I sighed
“Wild and good” I said with a smile and he laughed.
“Give me a minute” he said rising up.
I stood up to look for my bag and I bumped into the guy that had lapped me yesterday.
“Good morning” I greeted while scanning the room with my eyes for my bag.
” Good morning Eriel. I am leaving now, can I get your contact?” He asked giving his phone to me.
There was no harm there right?
I typed my number and he dialed it.
“Alright Eriel, would talk later” he said before leaving.
“You gave him your digits why” Claron asked out of the blues.
“Yea, he asked” I replied innocently.
“Just be careful yea” Claron said and I shrugged.
It wasnt like i was going to try doing anything drastic. I was happy where I was.
♠♪♠♠♪♠♠♠♪
When we got home, Irene kept on giving me the attitude and I felt guilty.
I wanted to talk to her but I had no idea on what I was going to say so I left it.
The girls and I left Jeff’s house that day so I could prepare to go back to my old local govt.
Claron followed me home and on our way, the guy from last night called.
I ignored his call but he kept on calling so I answered.
“Hi” I said with a sigh.
“You really don’t want to talk to me right” he replied and i sighed again.
“Wasn’t aware my phone had been ringing” I lied.
“I want to see you Eriel”
“I just left on my way to town” I replied.
“Would be coming to town tomorrow” he said and I wondered why he was telling me.
“Okay” I said.
“Hoping I could see you?” He asked.
“If I am less busy” I replied and he said his goodbyes, hanging up.
I got back to town, living my normal life. Jeff came to town the next day for a party and invited me but I wasn’t feeling like it so I turned him down.
Jeff was a sweet heart and he had his ways of putting smiles on my face.
Meanwhile the Somto guy kept calling and I kept giving him excuses,
