Episode 7
Gradually, time started moving faster than the speed of light, no matter how hard we tried to pause the time, it was not working, there were moments we tried running away and just get lost... But that aint gonna happen, not at that age! We talked every day, saw each other every blessed day, even at hard times, we made sure we met.... My days were being numbered in Nigeria, I had one more week remaining before I set out to South Africa..... That week, We had sex throughout, mind blowing sex without protection..... We didn't mind, even myself, I was ready to get this girl pregnant, at least, I won't have to leave for S.A and just go with my second choice of university here in Nigeria.... She was on protection..
I was to leave Nigeria on the Saturday, Shola made up her mind she was not going to talk to me or even see me that day at all, but I wasn't even sure I could allow that happen, cos, I was young, I didn't really know much but all I knew then was her.. and I needed her to give me that confidence she would be there for me... even through everything.. Saturday came like it was sent by the devil, my flight was for 3:00pm, I had to be at the airport by 2.00pm maximum.. I woke up 8:30am, stood up, went to the bathroom straight, tidied myself up because I knew I had limited time... I went to get my phone from the shelve, I saw 3 messages from Shola..... They read....
1st message: "Jide, I can't believe this is happening"
2nd message: "We are still one, through thick and thin"
3rd message: "I want to see you!!!!!!! Baby I want you!!"
I was baffled, but wasn't really concentrating because I had to get myself prepared for my trip..... Time as usual, was faster than normal, and it was seeming like I wasn't going to see this girl again... I wasn't feeling too good with that thought.. So I called her.....
Me: "baby, I would be on my way in a moment"
Shola: "Chill, I will soon be there"
Me: "Where?"
Shola: "Your gate......."
At this point, I thought she had run mad...... like she has never met any of my family member, all we've been doing has been in secret.... and now she wants to come and meet them face to face, on the day their son is going to the university...
Me: "WHAT!!!"
**She cut the call**
It was this time I remembered all the sex we've had, all the styles, the hardcore..... all without a CONDOM! I knew she was going to come and cause trouble, I thought.. Probably she would just come and announce to my family members, "she's the one I've been having sex with, and she's finally pregnant!" I knew it was practically over for me, and this was just the end of everything, including my life.....
5 minutes later, I heard a loud bang at the gate, I sped like I was being chased by a blue whale.. I opened the gate and immediately knelt down in front of her, and started begging that she should not put me in trouble, and this wasn't the time for her to announce such a flabbergasting news...... She was just looking confused, and took me up by my shoulder... and asked what was wrong... at this time.. I was already sweating profusely, I told her she shouldn't announce the pregnancy.. She just started laughing like a lunatic who's been accessed at ARO... "I'm not pregnant baby", She said... "Then why are you here", I asked.. She said she was going to follow me to the airport. I was at first relieved, but then remembered nobody knows her in the house, so how's she going to do it, I asked her... She said I should introduce her... I said "Introduce you as what?" ..... She smiled again, again and again...[ I get crazy when she smiles, she knows that..] All this while, we're at the gate, we almost kissed when I got back to my sense and told her to come inside.... I took Shola inside the house, my dad, as usual, was busy with the news on T.V, I called on him and introduced Shola as..................................................."My secondary school best-friend", "Huhehn" was what came out of his tongue,
I did the same introduction to my mum, and my junior sister.. It was like magic as it worked... or maybe because I was leaving.. She joined my mum in the kitchen, with the chores, immediately my sister loved her, they got talking.... I went back to my room to tidy things up because time was running out already.. It was 11 am , and I was still going to travel to the airport, a 1 hour journey. I came out finishing with my room, and I saw Shola and my sister gisting like they've know each other for decades... they were in the kitchen, She didn't see me, so I stared at her, then her behind, those legs, the bosoms..... I could only imagine....
We set out around 12pm, and headed straight for the airport.... 50% of me wanted to miss that flight, every kilometer we covered was just making it a reality that I won't see Shola the next day, the day after.... probably the year after..... or maybe after a decade... my eyes became red as we approached the airport, I could see from the rear mirror, she was weeping already, at first she tried controlling herself, but got to a point, the tears were uncontrollable.... She was going to make me cry, so I increased the volume of the radio and started a talk... My sister did a good job in handling the situation at the back.... We got to the airport at about 1:45pm. We all got down.... I wanted Shola to enjoy this moment and remember every second of it, I took her by the hand as we walked into the departure terminal.... she held me tight, my parents where not concentrating, I looked about four times, before I landed my lips on hers, right there as we got into the terminal.... I looked again, and saw my sister smiling, She understood every bit of it, I could tell.
I knew if I check-in that was the end, she won't be able to come with me because the flight was approaching.......
So I took her by the hand, we navigated ourselves after so much trials, into the airport toilet.............................
We went inside, and she started staring at me again...........
I knew what she wanted, I also knew, she's a lady, and she can do any funny thing at any time.
I brought my lips closer as she responded almost immediately with hers....... we kissed for at least 10 minutes. I had set an alarm on my wristwatch for 2:30pm.... The time was 2:00pm.... Quickly, I pulled her gown up as she held the head of the toilet and turned her behind to my thing.... I didn't want this moment to end... [You know when a woman just gives you all her body, and she's like do anything you want, it's all yours] That was how the moment was...... I was banging her slowly and steadily, she moaned quietly to the pace.... We practiced our burglary style again, she held the edge of the door, with her legs on my shoulders.... She trusted me, even with her life... I was banging her hard this time, I could tell she wasn't looking for her own pleasure, but mine... She wanted me to feel like she belongs to me alone, and no other woman could be fit enough to take her place, ever! I climaxed as my wrist watch vibrated with great intensity.. She knew........ We dressed up quickly, hurried back to the terminal and began the check-in process... She was by my side throughout.. until after my luggage's where checked.... As I was about entering "the point of no return" We hugged, it was very tight.... I whispered to her saying "I'll be back, sooner than you think, my love!" She replied with a blockbuster saying "Baby, I didn't use any contraceptives, I love you".... The time was calling, I had to go....... I just couldn't help but look at her, I was feeling angry at the same time, very emotional.... Angry because, she did a silly thing by not using contraceptives, and wanting a pregnancy... Emotional because I wasn't going to see my baby, for a long period of time.....
