LOVE AFFAIRS CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
The cold was more severe than it’d been when the rain began. They were few thunderclaps as Elo tiptoed back to my side.“What kind of songs do you have on your laptop computer?”“Songs? All types you know. Rock n’ roll, soul, reggae…”Elo bent and kissed me while I spoke. The next minute, she scrolled down my song folder and suddenly stopped. She looked at me with a mischievous smile, before clicking on ‘play.’The next moment, Hips Don’t Lie, by Shakira, began to play and I was stunned at Elo’s dance steps. The way she moved her hips was unbelievable. Slowly and carefully, my mum’s wrapper slid off her smooth body. Elo’s body moved effortlessly to the rhythm of the music. I couldn’t get my eyes off her hips, waist and buttocks. Her dancing was so mesmerizing. The ‘spell’ of Elo’s dancing upon me suddenly lost effect, the moment the music came to an end.I was about to say something when she sat on my thighs and selected Piano Lessons by R. Kelly, in my music folder. She tried to kiss
LOVE AFFAIRS CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
I felt like taking photos of Elo, when she took off her shower cap and swung her braided hair sideways.“I’m sorry for making you eat late, Pierre. Hope you won’t report me to your mum?”“There’s no need to… see her face over there. She’s already seen everything.”Elo laughed and buried her face on my chest. I fell in love with her every moment. She soon picked up one of my Arabian perfumes, and sprayed it on her wrists, neck, sides and armpit regions.“Spread the mat so we can eat.” I ignored her and stood by the window. They were a couple of cars driving the wet roads. I opened the window slightly, and a gust of chilly wind blew inside. Elo tiptoed towards me and stood in front of me. The Arabian perfume was soon around the entire room, and Elo was soon captivated by the darkness and dotted lights.“Isn’t it beautiful, Elo?”“Of course, it is… hold me Pierre,” Elo whispered. Her face looked more attractive without any make up on it. She was a true African beauty.“So, this is what a
LOVE AFFAIRS CHAPTER NINETEEN
“Mummy, that bastard just left me abruptly… and was soon with one Scottish girl called Gwendolyn.” Elo fumed.“Listen to me, you are my daughter, and the last thing I’ll do is to mislead my own daughter.”“So, what does he want from me?”“His mother sat with me last week for hours, and tabled everything out, Elo.”“His mother should go and meet Gwendolyn’s mother and not you, because, as far as I’m concerned…”“Shut up and listen to me, Elo. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity.”“I’m listening.”“Samson is deeply sorry for what happened, and would be coming to Nigeria next week. His father and your current Vice Chancellor were former course mates and buddies at the University of Benin, so he will assist him with…”“Assist him with what?” Elo asked in a bout of mirthless laughter.“Assist him in speeding up the process to get your results ready, to enable you get transferred to Robert Gordon University.”“Robert Gordon… listen mummy, I’m in 300level and I’m not…”“Listen to me Elo
LOVE AFFAIRS CHAPTER TWENTY
On the third day of our arrival in the Nigerian capital, I decided to pay Elo an unscheduled visit. I was having a negative feeling about the whole thing, even though everyone knew how impeccable Sabiu was a s a detective. Our convoy drivers parked beside a hair dressing saloon and my mum went in to sit and wait for me. I took a left turn and walked past two fenced plots before I stood in front of Elo’s father’s house.The house had a black gate, with green flowers near the pedestrian walkway. A crazy idea popped up in my head, the moment I knocked thrice on the black gate.“Good evening sir, how may I help you?” A tall light-skinned security guard opened the pedestrian section of the gate, and stared suspiciously at me.“Good evening, my name is Caleb Ishiekwene and I’m looking for Elo.”“And who may you be, sir?”“Oh, my apologies.” I said with a quick smile.“I’m the President of the Delta State Students Association at Igbinedion University Okada. I’m trying to confirm Elo’s identi
LOVE AFFAIRS CHAPTER TWENTTY ONE
While A. J. Baby maintained her stance on the ‘testing’ issue, Davi soon involved his elder sister in the issue, and possibly, to prevail on A. J. Baby, to change her mind. One particular day, Davi took A. J. Baby to an eatery where he re-ignited the issue. They sat at the extreme corner of the large colourful hall, and paid no attention only to the other customers who came in and sat down to eat, or exited the fast food restaurant. It was a weekend and both lovebirds had all the time in the world. I’ve always been unable to point at any cogent reason as to why A. J. Baby never breathed a word of her ‘predicament’ involving Davi with Talia.“How’s the weekend going, my love?”“The weekend’s great.” A. J. Baby replied and stared through the large windows.“You’ve hardly touched your food,”Davi whispered.“Must I eat at the same pace like you?” A. J. Baby snapped.“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it like that…”“Of course, you didn’t,” A. J. Baby fumed before taking a sip of the Coca Cola beve
LOVE AFFAIRS CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO
CHAPTER TWENTY-TWOThe next day, I went to a bookshop in town to purchase some relevant textbooks for the courses I’d be offering in 400 Level. I returned almost two hours later, and was relaxing inside a sitting room adjacent the main throne room when it began to happen. On the walls in the room were a massive family portrait, and other smaller individual pictures. In the family portrait, Inikpi was wearing a traditional turquoise print, with a silvery veil over her shoulders and the upper part of her body. I was staring at Inikpi’s enchanting smile when her face ‘transformed’ into Ghan’s face.I was immediately rattled on the Italian sofa I was relaxing on. The only sound inside the room emanated from the LG split unit air conditioner. I was the only one inside this particular room, why Gahn was taking over my senses. I rose to my feet, shut my eyes and and opened them again. I stared at the painting again and opened my mouth in shock.All the girls and women in the family portrait
LOVE AFFAIRS CHAPTER TWENTY THREE
CHAPTER TWENTY-THREEHalee was so relaxed as she flipped the pages of her lecture note and textbook at the same time.“Here, this one.” Halee whispered and handed her law of evidence to me. I received it and gave her a review of the particular topic and sub-topic. She listened with rapt attention, and I avoided her eyes and mascara. Thereafter, she asked several questions pertaining to the topic and I answered them all. They were several students thronging around the huts the next hour, and I silently prayed that Halee would not allow herself to be distracted. For the next two hours, I answered questions from Halee’s notebook and textbook. When darkness began to creep in, Halee drew closer to me and I inhaled her mild perfume. The bulbs in the hut where we were weren’t too bright, and Halee seemed happy and comfortable about that singular fact. “Any oth
LOVE AFFAIRS CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR
I could hear my mum laughing heartily over the phone. Maybe I sounded funny, but I was not going to mention anything about Bussy, Elo or even Pre.“Well, in that case, I’ll give Inikpi my blessings to find a suitable damsel for my beloved son at the right time.”I breathed deeply and fixed my gaze on a busty girl who was wearing a pair of jean bum shorts, and a yellow top.“That won’t be necessary mum… when he time is right, my heart would know and find what it wants, and love who it wants to llove. So, kindly drop the matchmaking ideas.”“Are you sure, baby?”“Yes, I’m sure… and I’m not angry with you over your suggestion.”“Okay… but you should know it’s because I love you, and that you’re my only son… that’s why I’m thinking in that direction.”“I know mum, I certainly do.”The next second, I received seven kisses from my mum through my mobile phone before she ended the phone call. I called Patt a afterwards, and his phone rang without any response. When I sent a text message to hi
