EPISODE 2
She suddenly was all smiles, as she hugged me tightly and then suddenly pulled out and said in a sulking manner.
“But why should it be now that you would be telling me this. Tomorrow you would be gone and there is a probability that when next, we might see would be years or probably never to see you again, depending on how God controls our breath.”
.
She said sadly and that really, nearly drew tears from my eye, as I felt my brain cramped with tears and unwillingness to part with her.
.
“Promise me one thing.”
She said and I looked at her to know, what she wanted to say, because if it was for me to cancel travelling that ain’t happening because my parents would never take it lightly and I wouldn’t like seeing my uncle feel bad at his own kind gestures.
.
“What’s it dear?”
I asked her as I pulled her to my chest car-ssing her locally braid hair, known to some as (All back) while awaiting her reply.
.
“Can you spend the remaining moments of today with me before you travel?”
She asked tenderly in a manner I knew I would never refuse.
.
“If that’s the promise dear, sure u would keep it.”
.
I said though I know that would be a lot hærd, as my parents doesn’t permit me coming home late in the nights, as it was already six in the evening.
.
We both spent our time, in the best way we could think of as we played, joked, roamed the village, while buying edible stuffs, and ate it in careless abandonment, as the at that moment the world only revolved around us. in fact we had fun to the fullest, that would for me at least be memorable to her for long, as we don’t know when next fate will bring us together.
.
I had already put my phone in silent as I knew that the miss call from my parents no go be here. but I felt it was better not answering them so I was engrossed with Stephanie.
.
It was already 10pm in the night, this was the longest I stayed outside of my parents house in the night. As both of us stood at an Apian way which was near the her house, as I had already seen her off and was about going home.
.
“Thanks for today.”
She said sweetly, I swear the sound of her voice was intoxicating.
.
“My sentiments exactly dear.”
I replied back, as to be frank, I knew that I was already late and only God knows the fate that awaits me. So naturally I was a kind of becoming a kind of uncomfortable.
.
I was suddenly tensed, when she closed the gap between us, as she circled her hand around my neck.
.
Gan!! Gan!! let it not be what I’m thinking. I muttered in my heart as I could feel my heart, my heart beat would beat the speed of light by a wide margin.
.
The funny part of the wh0le stuff, was that I meekly reciprocated by encircling my hand on her wa-ist.
.
My mind was on the race as many thoughts flooded my mind
.
“This boy you are sinning against God. And remember what Eve did to Adam. Remember the downfall of Samson. Na so my parents words take invade my thinking faculty. As I felt lost. I was brought back to the land of the sane, by a soft and w-t k-ss that formatted, reformatted, and reformed my brain. Chaiiiii!!! na so it dey be? As I couldn’t help but part my l-ips for more as I joined in the flow, though I knew that I was a novice in that aspect, but I allowed her do the job while I enjoyed. (My dear, that first k-ss really matters a lot, really relish that moment if you can help it, if you never enjoyed yours Kpele ooo!! (sorry ooo!!)
Gosh!! that was really heavenly, I swear I would never forget it my entire life.
.
After that she pulled away from me, stared at me one last time and said this.
“Take care and I hope you immortalize this.”
.
And turned around and walked away towards her house without even turning to give me one last glance.
.
I stood transfixed at the s₱0t, as I stared fixedly at her back view till I couldn’t see a shadow of her again.
.
After a while, I turned around and walked home as fast as I could, but the scene of what just occurred this night just kept replaying in my mind.
.
On reaching home, luckily for me my parents were asleep remaining my direct junior brother, who was reading a novel with a well lit rechargeable lantern.
.
Luckily, per what he told me, my parents came back late that night and so assumed that we all were asleep and didn’t bother checking on us.
.
So I slipped in and pulled off my clothes and was only left with my underwear, before I lay down on the bed but couldn’t sleep as both the excitement of traveling and the event of my first k-ss kept me awake, as I felt refreshed and continually touched my l-ips, that before I slept it was already, 1 o’clock in the early hours of the morning.
.
.
I was woke up by 4.30am precisely for our morning prayer, the alarm first rang but I ignored it, but the baritone voice of my dad, brought everyone out to the sitting room, and I couldn’t help but grumble in clear annoyance, as sleep was still disturbing me really bad and coupled with the fact that I didn’t sleep early last night and without being told, I knew that nothing could help me from sleeping in that morning devotion, well not as if I don’t always sleep during those periods. Sleeping during the morning devotion had already becoming a normal routine for me, in fact let’s say I always look forward to it.
.
The devotion had already started, as we sang praises and worsh¡p, or should I say they because I was half present as I would often get myself nodding in agreement with sleep, and I would sometimes see myself mutter incoherent words as if I was with them.
.
My two other junior brothers who knelt down and bent down on their chair were already snoring lightly, as they geared up there snoring, as sometimes it was and sometimes low, as they used the chair as their respite.
.
Well I finally joined the cue as I slept of totally too.
.
I didn’t know how long I had slept, when a mountain moving slap, (in fact call am neck bender,) from my dad jerked me back to back to the land of the living, destroying my beautiful dream, where I was spending quality time with my love.
.
I turned around while holding my cheeks to see my two brothers too holding their cheeks too, as the expression on their face did nothing to hide the pain, I couldn’t help but fight the urge to laugh.
.
“What was the topic of topic of our preaching this morning?”
.
My mom, asked the three of us, we all kept silent, me in particular.
.
See me see wahala!!
