The sunlight glazed through the window shining directly into her eyes. Leila stretched her mouth into a loud yawn and slowly opened her eyes. She scanned the room turning her head slowly to the left and then to the right but nothing looked familiar, this wasn’t her room.
She looked down at her body and noticed she was wearing pajamas, they were light pink and though they weren’t hers they fit her perfectly.
‘Where the am i?’ she thought, ‘Have I been kidnapped?’
Just then Chibuye came bursting through the door, ‘Morning sunshine,’ he smiled exposing his perfectly white teeth.
As soon as she saw Chibuye, a sudden wave of relief overcame her.
‘Morning,’ she responded smilingly.
‘How did I end up in this bed & why am I wearing this, did you see me unclad?’
A slow smiled spread across his face and he licked his l-ips, ‘last night was amazing, I must say you have a perfect body I loved seeing you unclad. Can you perhaps strip for me again?’
‘Oh lord,’ Leila panicked.
‘It’s fine if you don’t want to I just thought we are past being shy after last night’s performance.’
Leila closed her eyes and tried hærd to remember what happened and all the events leading up to her ending up in this bed.
After they had gotten to Chibuye’s house he had asked her to take a bath while he made them something to eat. She remembered taking her bath and changing into a chitenge she always carried in her bag and Chibuye’s T-shirt before joining him. They had dinner in silence because she didn’t feel like talking and afterwards, he had given her a glass of wine to calm her nerves.
‘You drugged me?’ she accused, ‘that wine you gave me was it all a plan to get me into your bed?’ She asked her face suddenly wrought with tension.
‘Girl you willingly stripped for me and asked me to go down on you. The rest is history.
‘Oh lord no,’ Leila’s eyes got watery. ‘Did you at least use protection?’
‘You asked me not to, you said c-ndoms are itchy. D–n girl you have skill, where did you learn to shake like that?’ he asked & though he almost laughed, he managed to keep a serious look on his face.
Leila couldn’t hold out any longer, she burst out crying, ‘my father is going to kill me how could you do this?’
Chibuye looked at her for a while before he chuckled out loud, ‘Oh Leila you are such a bore, you think I could take advantage of you.’
‘What do you mean?’
‘Nothing happened, you just had way too much to drink and I had to carry you to bed and change you into this.’
Leila sighed heavily and began to relax, ‘Wait you still saw me unclad.’
‘Yes I did, nice body by the way,’ he whistled
She grabbed a pillow and tossed it at him, laughing ‘Pervert.’
‘You look cute when you cry, you should try that often,’ he laughed
She quickly wiped her eyes, ‘You almost gave me a heart attack.’
‘Why did the idea of s€× with scare you too much haven’t you done this a number of times.’
She covered her face with both hands embarrassed by his probing ‘I don’t want to talk about it.’
‘OMG,’ he gasped when realization hit him.
‘What?’ she asked puzzled.
‘You are a V-rgin.’
‘Shut up,’ she said, still covering her face with her hands.
He sat on the bed next to her and lowered her hands, ‘How old are you?’
’I will be 25 in a few months,’ she responded quickly.
‘And you have never had s€×, what planet do you live on?’
She rolled her eyes, ‘Mars.’
‘I won’t even argue. So why haven’t you had s€× yet?’
‘I am waiting for Mr. right.’
He laughed aloud mockingly, ‘Forgive me, I just find this funny.’
‘You don’t believe in love or you don’t think there is such a thing as Mr. Right?’ she asked
‘Well that’s a story for another day but can I be Mr. Right so I can tap into it?’
‘Tap into what?’ she asked confused.
‘Tap into that cookie, I want to be your first,’ he licked his tongue again.
She shook her head, ‘You are such a fool you know that?’
‘So I have been told,’ he laughed.
‘Where is my phone?’
‘It’s charging, I turned if off because I didn’t want the calls to disturb you.’
‘How considerate,’ she smiled.
‘Okay it’s time for your bath.’
‘Okay, she stood up.
‘I will get you some clean clothes.’
‘Okay.’
He squeezed her ass as she bypassed him to go to the bathroom, ‘Pervert,’ she smiled and ran to the bathroom.
She stripped off her pajamas, stood in front of the mirror and stared at herself in the eye, she felt so happy. Even though she didn’t know Chibuye that well she felt so much comfortable around him, he made her forget her sorrows.
She smiled to herself as she reached for a new toothbrush and tooth paste then she started brushing her teeth. After brushing her teeth, she ran herself a hot bath she slipped into the tab and began washing herself.
When she emerged from the tab, she dried herself and went back to the bedroom. She was amazed to find he had made the bed and gotten her some clean clothes as promised. He had gotten her a pair of blue ripped jeans, a white sheer lace top and a new set of underwear.
‘Come down for breakfast when you are done bathing,’ the note on the bed read.
As soon as she finished getting dressed, she walked slowly out of the room into the hallway she wandered down the corridor and into the living room then into the dining room.
He flashed a smile when he saw her, ‘You look beautiful.’
‘These are too tight and the top shows a lot of skin,’ she frowned
‘A little skin never hurt anyone.’
‘Oh please, she rolled her eyes.
She pulled back one of the chairs and sat down. He offered her a cup of tea and handed her a plate of breakfast.
‘I hope this isn’t drugged,’ she said taking a small sip from her coffee.
‘It wouldn’t be such a bad idea to drug you I mean I could get to see you unclad again.’
‘Such a fool,’ she shook her head.
He laughed.
‘This is delicious,’ she said with a mouth full of eggs and bacon, a while later.
‘Weren’t you taught never to talk with food in your mouth?’
She rolled her eyes and continued eating.
‘What were you doing in the park last night all alone crying?’ he asked
There was silence for a while Leila wasn’t ready to open up her life to him.
‘I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable it’s okay if you don’t wanna say.’
‘I …….um, I,’ she fumbled with her words, ‘I just lost my boyfriend,’ she finally said.
‘Oh Leila, I am so sorry.’
She managed a weak smile, ‘it’s okay, he died mysteriously, I don’t even think I will allowed to go for his funeral,’ she said
There was sadness written all over her face.
‘Why?’
‘Long story but can we please change the subject.’
‘Cool. What do you want to do today?’
She looked up at him,’ I have to go for work and then go back home, my father is gonna kill me.’
‘How about we miss work for the day, forget about home and your father, let’s hung out and have some fun.’
‘That doesn’t seem like a bad idea, it will help me take my mind of things, I can always deal with dad later.’
‘It’s a date then.’
*
She enjoyed the next few hours with Chibuye they laughed and talked about a number of things. He took her horse riding at Bridlewood stables, it was a very good experience for Leila, later they had lunch and he took her out shopping, all this while her phone was off she would worry about her father later, she just wanted to enjoy herself and see a different side of the world she had not been exposed to.

Sequence 11
.
Leila and Chibuye had a great time, they had so much fun that they lost track of the time and before they knew it, it was almost 21.
‘I think I need to take you home before you father murders me,’ he said after they had dinner together.
She frowned and nodded in agreement then he drove her home.
Chibuye pulled up in front of her gate thirty minute later, ‘I had a great time,’ he said with a smile as he held her hand.
‘I did too,’ she said shyly.
This was the first time in a very long time Leila had so much fun.
‘I look forward to seeing you again.’
‘Me too!’
Chibuye stepped out of the car. He closed the door and walked around to her side and opened the door then he took her hand and helped her out of the car.
‘Is this the part where I k-ss your brains out and make your knees go weak?’
‘In your dreams,’ she giggled
He k-ssed her on her forehead and said, ‘see you later baby,’
She cleared her throat, ‘Baby.’
‘Yes baby.’
‘Whatever! See you,’ she opened the gate and walked in
‘Back to reality,’ Leila thought a she walked towards the door, she knew she was in trouble but her day with Chibuye was worth all the trouble.
She took a deep breath and opened the door.
‘You are back! Where have you been?’ Jada said as I walked in the door.
‘Not now Jada,’ she brushed her off.
‘We were so worried about you Leila, Dad has been pacing back and forth in the living room fuming with anger he is going to kill you.’
Leila managed a smile, ‘I am old enough to handle dad.’
‘I don’t like the sound of that Leila, you know dad is ruthless.’
Leila ignored her sister and went straight into the living room. She locked eyes with her father she could see the fury in his eyes. When her mother noticed her, she rushed over and embraced her. She hugged and cried for a minute.
‘I was so worried about you Leila, where did you go? Are you okay?’
‘I am fine,’ she replied
When her mother finally let her go, her brother Alfred looked at her with a blank face devoid of any emotion whatsoever. It was no secret that Alfred preferred Jada to her and Leila had come to accept this simple fact.
She turned to her mother, ‘I am going to lie down for a while.’
She turned to walk out of the room but her father grabbed her by the arm.
Leila turned to face him, ‘What!’ she asked.
‘Where have you been and why are you dressed like hooker?’
‘Dad, I am really tired and I need to rest if you will excuse me,’ she turned to leave again but her father held on to her hand.
‘Do you want to bring shame to this family?’ he angrily asked.
‘What have I done?’
‘What have you not done you ungrateful child,’ He yelled.
‘Where did you sleep?’
‘Daniel please take it easy on her,’ his wife pleaded with him.
‘I should take it easy on her? You do know the implications of her actions. A married woman sleeping out, what am I going to tell her in-laws?’
She could hear the anger in her husband’s voice reach its peak.
‘I am not a married woman, just let me live my life the way I want to,’ she yelled back at him.
‘Shut that dirty mouth of yours you silly girl,’ Alfred blurted out
‘Or else what Alfred?’ she yelled louder and angrier, ‘I am tired of being treated like an outcast in this house, if you don’t want me then let me go.’
‘Leila….,’ her mother began but she cut her short.
‘Save your speech woman, sometimes I wonder if you are really my mother.’
‘Leila,’ her mother whispered as her eyes got watery.
‘You are a disgrace to motherhood, I wish I was…….,’
Before she could finish her sentence, her father slapped her across her face with all his might, she fell backwards and hit the floor.
‘I am going to show you who the head of this house is.’
‘Hit me all you can, you think I will be afraid, huh.’
Leila felt another sharp pain in her face.
‘Hit me, yes hit me kill me if you want, are you even my real father,’ she turned her face and glowered her hatred at him.
‘You ungrateful brat,’ he slapped her again.
‘Daniel please,’ his wife pleaded.
‘Mum don’t interfere this child of yours needs to be taught a lesson.’
‘Dad let her go, ‘Jada cried tears rolling down her cheeks.
‘Stay out of this all of you,’ Daniel bellowed
He carried her to his study and dropped her to the floor then he went back to the door and locked it.
‘You dare disrespect me in my own house Leila. Where did you sleep?’
She responded with silence.
‘Where did you sleep?’ he kicked her but still got no response.
‘By the time I am done with you, you will be able to tell me where you slept.
He removed his belt and doubled it around his fist- the buckle end hanging loose.
‘You will not bring shame to this family,’ he wh¡pped her, the metal buckle biting into her flesh and tearing her blouse.
Leila let out a blood curdling scre-m.
‘Daniel please let her go,’ his wife scre-med while pounding on the door.
He continued to beat her unmercifully, she yelled and cried.
The more she cried, the h-rder he wh¡pped her. Her entire body felt as if it was on fire & blood was spilling from her wounds.
‘Where did you sleep,’ he kept shouting as he swung the belt down on her.
‘I slept at a friend’s house,’ she responded when she couldn’t take it no more.
Her tears were flowing freely
‘What friend! Did he touch you! are you still a V-rgin?’ He asked breathing hærd.
‘She nodded.’
‘I am taking you for testing tomorrow, I really hope you are really untouched, he wh¡pped her one last time and left the room.
She lay motionless on the floor, every part of her body burned with pain, how could a father be that cruel to his own flesh and blood.
‘Oh Leila,’ her mother came rushing through the room.
‘Please don’t touch me,’ she said softly.
‘Leila please, let me help you.’
‘Don’t.’
‘I will help her,’ Jada said.
‘I am sorry,’ tears fell down on her mother’s face like heavy raindrops. It hurt to see her daughter go through such pain but there was nothing she could do.
Jada held her sister’s bloody hand and slowly lead her to her bathroom.
*
Four days had passed since her father wh¡pped her mercilessly, her wounds were slowly beginning to heal and she was now able to seat down. In those four days she had been confined to her room, she just wanted to be alone so she could heal peacefully.
‘Leila,’ her father burst into her room.
She looked up at him, ‘Yes.’
‘Get ready we are going to Mam Zyambo’s house.’
‘Okay.
‘Be out in ten I don’t have all day,’ with that said he marched out.
She took a deep breath and stood up, Mam Zyambo was the woman in charge of examining her to see whether she was still a V-rgin or not.
Leila hated her father for what he was doing to her but she hated her mother more for not protecting her from him.
Leila dressed up in a yellow long dress that fell to her toes, on her feet she wore a pair of black slippers she tied her hair behind and didn’t bother with her makeup. Then she grabbed her phone and walked out of the room, her father was reading a newspaper in the living room.
‘I am ready,’ he said.
He looked up from the paper, ‘Great,’ he smiled.
