LOVE AFFAIRS CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN
I held Pre’s right hand and ignored a couple of male students who walked into the restaurant. They headed straight to the bar and ordered their meals. Afterwards, they walked out with packed foods in white cellophane bags. Pre’s hand felt tender than they looked, while her nails were neatly filed. At that moment, I wondered what type of hand lotion she was using. “It’s not as if you’re not the kind of guy that I desire in my life, but if you can just be patient till I’m done with schooling…” “Do you feel I could be a form or source of distraction, to your academic work?” “No, not like that. It’s just that before two people from different backgrounds, lifestyles, families etc. can come together and become committed in a relationship,, certain things should be mutually acceptable, agreed upon and in alignment.” “Okay… I’m understanding the angle you’re coming from.” I was slowly reaching for the remaining bottle of Sprite on the table before me, when Pre stood up with lightning sp
LOVE AFFAIRS CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT
My heart almost jumped out of my mouth as I heard Gahn’s last statement. I thought of Bussy, Elo, A. J. Baby and Pre.“I’m fine Gahn. It’s just that Patt must’ve done something bad which I do not know yet, but might involve a girl.”“Anyways, I’ll need your razor-sharp brilliance to quickly edit something at the business centre.”We took a short cut through a green field and headed for the business centre. Students weren’t much, as several of them had travelled that morning to several destinations. Gahn soon settled down to a desktop computer and plugged in a flash drive into the USB slot of the computer’s CPU. Within seconds, I stared a at a Pharmacology paper on the screen.“Kindly help me edit… for grammatical errors and anything that should or shouldn’t be there.”“I knew I couldn’t refuse Gahn’s request even if I tried to. Her eyes, cheeks, lips and smile paralyzed any form of resistanceI might have possessed. Twenty-five minutes later, I rose to my feet to stretch my body, as s
LOVE AFFAIRS CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE
“Oh, scorpion…” A. J. Baby’s countenance changed immediately, and she suddenly felt ashamed of trying to slap me. “Is that how you slap people at the slightest pretext?” I rose to my feet while A. J. Baby began to stammer in shock, surprise and embarrassment.“It’s getting late. Let me see you off to your hostel… come on.”“Sure…” A. J. Baby looked downward, probably thinking of what to say. She must’ve thought that I was attempting to harass her sexually. We came down from the roundabout, and walked to the New Girls hostel in silence.“See you on Monday, then.”“Good night Pierre. I’m sorry about the way I reacted. It’s just that…”“Skip it, don’t worry. I understand.”My hands went into my trouser pocket, as I turned and began to walk away from her. I’d barely walked three steps when I heard A. J. Baby’s deep voice behind me.“Please, wait. Please do not tell any of our course mates about what I did…”“It’s okay,” I said with a smile. “Nice perfect guys don’t snitch.”“Thanks.” The

I pocketed my mobile phone and headed to a nearby sandwich and noodle joint to get dinner. In less than twenty minutes, I’d arrived at the joint and placed my order, while several cars sped behind me.I thought about Patt, Laurie and her panty incident. Although it was weird and funny to think that Laurie still saw Patt after that particular incident, I simply concluded that Laurie had very poor taste in her choice of male companions.So Some minutes later, I carried my packaged noodles back to my hostel room when my mobile phone began to ring. Initially, I thought it was A. J. Baby, but was surprised when I eventually brought my mobile phone to my face to check the caller Id. It was an MTN number that wasn’t saved in my contact list. I answered the call and discovered it was Pre’s younger sister – Tee.“Hello Pierre, this is Tee speaking.”“Hello Tee, how’s the evening going?”“The evening is cool. Listen, I need to get some clarifications from you about my sister…”“What are you dri
LOVE AFFAIRS CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE
I returned from lectures some days later and had lunch, before proceeding too study my notes from the day’s lecture. It was past seven in the evening that same day when I decided to go jogging. I jogged around the field facing my hostel lock before heading to New Girls hostel. From New Girls hostel, I continued towards the roundabout and before taking a break at the Chills restaurant. I walked inside the restaurant, purchased a small bottle of water and sipped it in small amounts.I’d barely sat on one of the stools for a minute when I heard the familiar voice and giggle of one of my female course mates. I took another sip and placed the bottle of water gingerly on the granite bar. The voice and giggle were unmistakable. I turned and saw Hailee sitting on the right thigh of a tall and light-skinned male student. He had a large amount of hair on his head, and Hailee stroked it with her fingers at intervals. She wrapped her black turban in the same manner she’d wrapped it that fateful n
LOVE AFFAIRS CHAPTER THIRTY TWO
I was admiring a moving line of soldier ants near the fence of the New Girls hostel, when I beheld Aurelia, Tee and a handful of my female course mates. The distance between us was up to ten meters, but they didn’t notice me, and even if they did, they didn’t behave as though they did. They bought barbecued beef, noodles, biscuits, soft drinks, toasted bread and eggs, sandwiches and bottles of water.I turned and looked away from the soldier ants before crossing my legs. I was sneezing the next moment when A. J. Baby walked towards me in confident and dainty steps.“Good evening Pierre.”“Good evening A. J. Baby, how was your day?”“Fine, fine, fine.” A. J. Baby responded in a deep voice while looking around suspiciously. She wasn’t the type who was into make-up and cosmetics, but I was amused to see her lips adorned with lip gloss on this particular evening.“Hope you’re hearing from your parents?” I asked, as several female students poured out of New Girls hostel gate, in skimpy and
LOVE AFFAIRS CHAPTER THIRTY THREE
I almost blushed at Gahn’s last statement, and soon began to wonder if all ladies thanked the man who (tenderly) deflowered them.“Goodnight Gahn… I love you.”I heard Gahn kissing me through the phone before ending the phone call. I picked up a small box of chocolates, lay on my bed and stared at the ceiling while dropping the cubes of chocolate into my mouth. ________________________________A lawyer once said that every lawyer must be ready and know how to lie on impulse, and in an ‘emergency.’ I smiled at the lie about getting some things from Uselu for my mum. I was standing in front of my hostel room and watching a group of male students playing football on the large field facing my hostel block when a taxi cab drove towards me. I stared at the driver and the occupant in the back seat. The face looked familiar in the distance, and I smiled when the taxi cab slowed down and parked near me.“Pre, what a wonderful surprise.” I walked towards the back se

This is my story, and these are my love affairs.I was born more than thirty years ago to the immediate past Attah of Igala, and my late father, Dr Peter Ilemonan Abutu. I was his only son among eight children. Being the only son of a billonaire international businessman, shipping magnate, agro-exporter, solid mineral exporter and realtor, had its perks. As early as I can remember, I was sent off with my mother, Lady Grace Ojochide Abutu (my father’s second wife), to live in Switzerland.I grew up living in a milk-coloured seven bedroom mansion, with a gum-cum-dojo, mini-cinema, suspended vegetable garden and swimming pool.
