My Crush Henry had being a
good friend
to me since the day he moved
into the apartment next to mine.
We had so much in common
especially our Christian faith. I soon got him to attend my Church
and he became a full
member. In no time, he also
became a chorister and you
just have to hear him sing. Henry
is a tall, handsome and a bit fair guy and to top it all, he
is rich(I assume so because
he has a car and works in a
bank).
My First visit to his apartment
wowed me! You can hardly find a guy that neat or maybe he
had tidied up the place to make
believe, but I could feel it
wasn’t a pretense. Everything
about him says it all! All this while I
had had a crush on him. He was my kind of
guy, but I was skeptical about
our friendship.
“What if we are really JUST
FRIENDS and he has a girlfriend
or even a wife where he is coming from?” I thought
to myself and tried to see our
relationship as Just Friends! The
way we relate and how the
friendship grew was a big
surprise.. Within two months, we became free to go into each
others apartment without any
fore notice. We were so free with
each other.
We both saw movies together
and ate together in the same plate. Finally I got what I’d been
looking forward to all these
while. “Babe, there will be two
days
public holiday next week. I
don’t know how you’ll feel or if you will be free, can we go for
a date? Me and you away for a
day?” he asked with his most
charming smile. “That will be nice
dear! That is,
if your girlfriend wont get offended with that.” I retorted
feeling relieved I was able to
mention his “girlfriend”. He walked
up to me, held my
hands and said “I don’t have a
girlfriend. We broke up six months ago and I’ve decided to
remain single till I met you”. “I’m
sorry about your break up!
But I’ll prefer we remain friends
for now”. I said trying to hide
my feelings. “As you please my lady! I’m
not in a hurry! So, we are going
away?” he said with a
questioning look. We soon got to
one of the
exquisite Hotel in town. That was my first time in such
a unique, beautiful and well
structured building. I tried to form
the “tush” babe,
but I couldn’t hide my locality
and excitement for long. We had a special spa
treatment and after that we sat
by the pool talking, laughing
and watching other couples
play in the pool.
We then went to our hotel rooms. He had already booked two
rooms for privacy and this
made me respect him the
more.
“So there is a guy who can
take you out to such a lovely place and not want something
in return”. I thought to myself
and I couldn’t deny the fact that
I’m in love with him. We sat and
talked in my hotel
room for a while and he excused himself for me to
change, because he wanted
me to wear something nice to
dinner. I stirred at him till he
closed the
door and I sat on my big bed wondering what Henry is up to
with his ‘holy and different’
approach. I went to his room to tell
him
I’m set and he looked more
handsome to me in his outfit. I almost felt intimidated by my
looks. I felt I couldn’t walk
beside him as his partner..
“Henry, you look more
handsome tonight” I said trying
to hide my intimidation. “Thank you babe! And I must
confess, I haven’t seen you
this pretty before!” He said in
his ever charming smile. I felt
relieved!
At least I’m not that bad. I kept trying to console myself. After
dinner, we both relaxed
on my bed swirling from one
topic to the other and we had a
pillow fight after a little
argument about politics. “I’m going to my room babe”
Henry said has he picked up
his suit from the arm of the
chair next to the bed where he
had spread it. “Alright dear! It was
a lovely day out with you and thank you
Henry for everything” I said as
I walked him to the door. He
stirred back at me, cupping
my cheek in his hand and said
“you don’t have to thank me Fikayomi, I didn’t do anything!
I’ll be here first thing tomorrow
morning. You know we have to go
back home in time to
prepare for work the day
after?” I answered with a nod and made to return to the room
when he pulled me back and
kissed me on my forehead. “I
love you babe! Have a sweet
night”. He said as he closed the
door. I wanted to scream and jump,
but I felt he might still be at the
door. I kept smiling and dancing to
rhythms in my head as I
undressed and took my bath.
I rehearsed all that had happened during the day and
some things I felt I should have
done better if given another
chance. I soon slept off with
my thoughts. A kiss on my
forehead and good morning from the voice I
couldn’t do a day without woke
me up the next day. “I don’t need
to ask if you slept
well, I can sense that already”
he said as he made to sit down beside me on the bed. But
something happened, he
quickly stood up as soon as
his hands touched the bed.
I already felt a wet sensation
on my pants and I know it wasn’t my monthly fountain. I had
said all the prayers to
avert him from finding out, but
he was the one who woke me
up and I only got to know when
I tried to sit up in bed. My prayers were not answered! His
hands felt my biggest fears
already and there was a
mixture of surprise and
confusion on his face. “Fikayo,
don’t tell me you still bed wet or what is this on your
bed? It can’t be the heat ’cause
this place air conditioner never
goes off except you turn it off
and it is on! You never told me
you still wet your bed, you just disgraced me babe”. He said
with a look I’ve never seen on
his face before. “Henry please, I
don’t know
how….. I can’t explain… I don’t
bed weeeeet!” I tried to explain the strange incident in a
stammering voice. “Just get up,
clean yourself
and pack your stuffs. We must
leave here before any room
service finds out about your… Your… Your… Whatever!” He
was more furious as he struggled
to let out those
words. “Meet me in my room
when
you’re ready and please for the love of what’s Holy, make it
snappy!” he said as he left the
room in a rush of emotions I
can’t explain.. I went to the
bathroom and
cried as I showered and as I was dressing up, I felt
someone tapping and calling
my name to wake up. “Fikayo,
you have been crying
for some minutes in your sleep,
hope all is well?” My big sister asked feeling concerned. “Don’t
worry sis, all is well!
Just that I feel like my bladder
is about to burst!” I managed to
reply as I quickly rushed to the
toilet.
