“Biggest mistake of whose life?” was the next thing we heard. We were awestricken as we shifted our gaze towards the door and behold it was aunty Jennifer.

Esther’s POV

I was visibly shaking as my aunt’s voice pierced through my heart. Frank caused all this, if he had just listened to me and behaved a little mature we wouldn’t be in this mess.

The best I could do at this moment was to just hope and pray that aunt Jennifer had not been listening to our conversation the whole time.

“What were you both talking about? Frank what will be the biggest mistake of her life?” Aunt Jenny questioned.

Tension filled the air as every one kept mute.

“I’m I not talking to human beings” aunt Jennifer said raising her voice.

“We…we…we were discussing our future ambitions when Esther suggested taking up singing as a career, that was why I told her it would be the biggest mistake of her life because she has a terrible voice” Frank said

“Huhh” I sighed within myself. I was very much relieved, a huge part of me felt he would tell his mum everything so I was very surprised when he covered up for me.

“Is that so?” she asked in a doubtful manner.

“Yes” we chorused

“Well, that’s not why I’m here… Esther here’s ₦3000, it should be enough to make your hair. So please do that tommorow”

“Thank you ma, thank you very much”

“You’re welcome” aunt Jenny said as she left us.

I immediately shifted my gaze to Frank who was staring at the floor

“Thank you for covering up for me” I said in a sober and childish tone.

“Umm… I’m sorry…for the way I talked to you earlier. I was acting based on the anger I felt at that time and I just wanted you to be careful around my dad”

“It’s okay, I’m very sorry too for going to the restaurant with your dad. But you don’t have to be worried about me, in a few months time I’ll be twenty. So I know how to take care of myself.”

“Esther, it seems like you still don’t get me, my dad is ready to have s*x with any available lady. And whenever he wants someone he can do anything to have that person.

Even at the University where he works, he is ready to undo any female student just to taste what’s between their legs even if it means failing them on purpose!”

“Hmm… thats serious. I’ll try my best to be extra careful with him”

“You better be” Frank said in a rather caring voice as he walked out of my room”

The next morning

I was woken up from sleep by the usual buzzing of my 5am alarm. I managed to reach my phone and put it off. I still felt very sleepy.

Just then a message notification popped up on my Nokia handset. It was an old model of Nokia. A very cheap but strong phone. I had used it for close to five years but it was still alright.

I continued smiling till I was done reading the message. It was from my boyfriend— Chidi. He was very fond of sending me r0m×ntic messages in the morning. But the messages he sent today were different, he sent s*xy messages about how long he had missed my b**bs and my p*ssy. Chidi was always very naughty, so I wasn’t very surprised.

He kept talking about how he couldn’t wait to see me and feel himself in,side me. Anyone reading the message would probably feel I had had s*x a lot of times but reverse was the case.

I have never tasted s*x, although there were instances where I almost lost my v×rgiπ!ty I had no idea what s*x felt like.

This was the reason I was confident nothing would happen between me and Frank’s dad. I never fancied keeping my v×rgiπity this long but it just happened and losing it to a man old enough to be my dad wasn’t the way I wanted it to end.

I wanted it to be an amazing unforgettable experience with someone

Later that day
****
Uncle Femi was back. I could hear the revving of his car from outside the compound. I avoided him like a plague through out the day. The only time we spoke to each other was when I greeted him.

He later went out that afternoon. I earlier overheard him on the phone speaking to someone. It sounded like he had an appointment that would fetch him a lot money.

****
Everyone was at home including aunty Jenny.

Uncle Femi walked him smiling seriously with some nylon bags and an envelope.

Aunty Jennifer was in the sitting room,

“welcome honey” she said

“Thank you” Femi replied as he gave her the envelope in his hand signalling her to read it.

She s¢ræmed joyously,it must be very good news I thought to myself.

“Where is Esther, where are the kids. Call them let’s celebrate” uncle Femi gave a blissful laugh as he brought out some drinks and plates of food from the bags he was holding.

Everyone came out see what the merry was all about.

“Drink everyone, daddy has just made more money” Uncle Femi said laughing joyously
¶

It was an awesome night, we enjoyed ourselves and ate to satisfaction.

I can’t remember the last time I ate this much food, I was absolutely overstuffed.

Once we were finished I packed the plates and carried them to the kitchen.

As I walked I noticed someone was following me.

And then I turned back, lo and behold it was Uncle Femi. I was frightened at his sight

“Jesus…sir you scared me” I said

“I’m sorry my dear, I never meant to scare you. I just wanted to check up on you”

“So how was your day?” He asked

“Fine,thank you sir”

“Ok that’s good. You see; I just wanted to let you know that if there is anything you need I mean anything at all within my capacity you should do well to let me know, ok?”

“Ok sir but you don’t need to bother yourself, I don’t have any pressing needs”

“Are you sure, what about your phone? Don’t you think you need a new one?” He questioned

“Hmm… I guess I do, I’m tired of my phone and I’ll be very delighted if you can get me a new one. My phone is very old and it even started malfunctioning of recent. I will be more than happy if you can get me a new phone sir”

“It’s alright then…” he said

“Thank you very much sir… I’m grateful”

I was overwhelmed with joy until he spoke again.

“I can get you any model of phone you want as long as you do what I tell you…”

Episode 7

“I can get you any model of phone you want as long as you do what I tell you” Uncle Femi said and walked away from the kitchen leaving me dumbfounded.

I couldn’t believe my ears, this man really doesn’t give up. So he wants to prey on my desires and use them to exploit me. Does he really think that I’m a kid who he can just trick easily. It seems he doesn’t know the kind of harsh and wayward environment I was born into. It’s just by God’s grace that I didn’t turn sour.

Since he’s ready to play games, I’ll let him know that I can play better than him.

Since he is ready to squander money, I will help him lavish it! I said as I walked boldly to my room.

Femi’s POV

I think I have finally gotten a hold on this girl. I don’t even know what’s so special about her that she has being playing hærd to get. At this young age, she has constantly refused to yield herself to me.

Nevertheless, I know I will definitely get her, since she lived from the village it shouldn’t take a lot to get her feeling intimate affections towards me.

I needed to get some sleep, tommorow I’ll make my move. My wife was already on the bed but she was yet to fall asleep.

The expression that beamed up her face when she saw me indicated that she must have being waiting for me to enter the room.

I took off the blue polo shirt and shorts I was putting on, sat on the bed and was about lieing down when my wife spoke to me.

“Femi”

“Yes, what is it?” I asked

“Femi, there’s something I’ve being really bothered about and I wanted us to discuss”

“Okay, go on” I said

“Femi, it has being very long since we last had s*x, every single night you just leave me dry and go to bed. I have beared it for too long and I can’t take it any longer. And such a thing isn’t good for us as a couple; it could lead to extramarital affairs…you know”

“So??”

“Femi I am a woman, you can’t just leave me like. We hærdly have s*x with each other and even if we do it’s once in a while. The worst part is…”

“It’s enough! Jennifer I need rest!” I quickly interrupted her from finishing whatever thing she was about to say.

“I’ve been busy all through the day. Can’t you see that I’m tired, Jennifer I am very tired. Remember I have a very important meeting tomorrow, you’re supposed to let me rest instead you’re busy talking about s*x??”

“Femi that’s what you always say, that’s what you always say! Everyday I’m around and talk to you concerning this matter that’s always when you need rest. Femi let me just let you know; this habit you’re putting up it is not healthy for our marriage at all. It isn’t good, I just don’t know why you keep acting as if we’re not yet married or something. Aside that, you know I am a lady sometimes a lady like me needs good hot s*x with her husband not all this ones you are doing”

“See Jennifer that’s your business, right now I don’t need s*x what I need is sleep. Allow me to sleep, we’ll do that your good hot s*x some other time; not today please” I said as I covered myself with the duvet.

The next day
Esther narrates

Today was another very hectic day, this tailoring work isn’t easy at all. My madam bombarded me with work after work. It’s either I’m cutting the material, or I’m ironing or I’m weaving the clothes or I’m even trekking under the scorching sun to get sewing items from a store that sells sewing materials very far from the shop.

It is always hectic and today was not an exception. After taking a shower and eating my lunch the next thing to do was to call Chidi.

I dialed his number as I waited patiently for him to pick up.

“Hello my love how are you doing”

“I’m okay, how are you” I asked

“I’m fine, I’ve missed you a lot” he said

“I missed you more babe” I replied.

“So when will you come to see me I can’t stop thinking about you”

“I’m not sure if I’ll be able to visit any time soon”

“Hmm…okay then, at least we would be talking on the phone”

“so how is your aunt’s place, you go done fat finish o” he jokingly said in his strong pidgin accent.

“Everything is fine, my aunt is really trying. The only problem I’m facing now is her husband”

“What did he do? Hope he is not beating my wife”

“No” I chuckled.

“It’s something else… I don’t even know how I’m going to explain it”

“Ah ah, go on. Have you forgotten you are talking to your love you don’t need to start thinking of how you’ll explain it”

“Fine, from the way he has being behaving I think he wants me to… I’m sorry please can you cut the call he’s calling me”

“Who is calling you” Chidi asked

“Uncle Femi — my aunt’s husband, please cut the call let me answer him”

“So you want me to cut the call because of him??”

“Babe just cut the call so that I can pick his, I call you lat..” Chidi hung up before I could even finish, I just hope he isn’t angry with me.

“Hello Esther, how are you”

“I’m fine sir”

“Please I need you to come meet me at the round about”

“But sir, I’m about leaving the house for my evening lessons

“Just forget about evening lessons for today, okay? I’ll be waiting for you, I need you to hurry up and please wear something nice” he said as he hung up the call.

What is this man’s problem? Why does he want me to meet him at the somewhere on the road. I hope he doesn’t have a hidden motive.

“Drop me!” I said to the tricycle driver who stopped the vehicle for me to alight. I gave him the transport fare and quickly drove away.

I kept looking around but I couldn’t find uncle Femi, he was the one who asked me to come here but I he has not even arrived. I was still checking around when I saw uncle Femi’s car parked across the road.

He had seen me also and began waving at me to cross over.

I crossed, opened the car door and joined him at the front seat.

“Good evening sir” I said.

“Evening dear” he replied softly.

“Sir I’m sorry to ask but why did you ask me to meet you here?” I said trying hærd not to sound disrespectful.

“I just wanted us to go out, relax, eat something and have a wonderful evening. I hope you don’t mind?”

“No, it’s okay with me” I smiled at him.

It was obvious uncle Femi was unaware of who he was dealing with, I’ll make sure I exploit a fortune out of him.

The thick silence was broken as uncle Femi spoke

“Esther, do you know you’re actually very beautiful” he said trying to sound r0m×ntic.

“You have a very radiant smile that gives me goosebumps whenever I’m around you” he said smiling

“Wow” I smiled forcing a blush.

You’re just decieving yourself I said within me.

“Has anyone ever told you such before” he asked

“No, no one has”

“Does that mean you don’t have a boyfriend?”

“No” I lied

“Really??”

“Yes sir, why would I lie to you” I said.

I want to ask you a personal question, I don’t know how it would sound to you but have you had s*x before?”

I was stunned by his question, why would he be asking me something so personal. He didn’t even mind how his question would make me feel

“No sir, I haven’t”

“You must be joking” he said almost laughing

“I’m not sir, I’m a v×rgiπ”

“Are you serious??” He said looking very surprised.

“Yes sir, I’ve never had s×× before” I answered.

If you’re actually telling the truth then I must say you are missing a lot”

“What I’m i missing?” I asked looking very confused.

“Don’t worry, I’ll show you” uncle Femi said.

He drove in silence for about five minutes until he came to a halt in front of a hotel.

“What are we doing here sir, I thought you said we were just wanted to relax and have something to eat.

“My dear you don’t have to be paranoid, I actually logded here so I can just have a mini-vacation. Away from family, work and all that.

This is where I come most of the time, it is a very big hotel. Besides, they have a bar and restaurant incase you need something to eat. Infact, why don’t I show you around. Trust me you’ll love it.

“Hmm” I sighed. “Okay then”

It was indeed a very big and luxurious hotel. Paradise Palm Springs was boldly crafted above the building. It was a classic five star hotel, only the reception was a sight to behold.

We went to the restaurant, the swimming pool and the bar. It was just so posh.

“This man get class o” I thought to myself.

We ordered some drinks and I was enjoying myself. It was like I was in heaven already.

“Are you shy?” He asked

“No sir, am not”

“I thought we’ve agreed that you should stop calling me sir”

“I’m sorry sir… I’m sorry dad”

“Better he said, you’ve enjoyed yourself today isn’t it?”

“Yes, thank you very much” I replied

“The hotel is elegant, right?”

“Yes, it’s very amazing”

I was still drinking my juice when uncle Femi asked me to follow him to the third floor. We entered the elevator, after a few seconds we were on the third floor. I felt unsettled as uncle Femi cupped his hands into mine. He led me to a passage with different rooms, we kept on walking until he stopped in front of a door written room 406 that was when I realized we were in front of the room where he lodged!!
