Lex opened the door of the bathroom
and stepped out with just a towel tied
loosely at his waist and used and
another he used in toweling his head.
Ann was sitting on the bed, unclad save
for her gystring and lacy bra.
He sighed ‘i want to spend the night
alone’
‘you dont mean that do you?’ she said
licking her lips seductively.
‘i mean it’ he said moving to the
wardrobe ‘and excuse me, i need to put
on my pyjamas’
‘like you havent dressed up in front of
me before’
‘Ann!’ Lex said turning around furiously
‘seriously, you are turning into a
nymphomaniac nowadays. Cant you just
leave me alone? You are a s-x addict
Ann’ He said and flung open his
wardrobe, took his pyjamas and went
into the bathroom.
By the time he came back, Ann was
sobbing.
‘what did i do wrong Lex?’ she whispered
as tears flooded her face ‘is it my fault
that i’m trying to make you happy? Is it
my fault that i’m trying to satisfy you?
Is it my fault that i love you so much, is
it?’
‘Ann, its not……’
‘just say it, say you dont love me
anymore and i swear it that i’m going to
walk out of your life. I have a family’
Lex felt weak. He didnt like hurting
Ann, the truth was she really loved him
with all her heart and all she wanted
was the best for him.
She had been a virgin when he met her,
an innocent pastor’s only child but he
deflowered her, not only deflowered
her but brought her into a life of drugs
and crime.
She had run away from her home in
Maiduguri when he wanted to relocate to
Asaba, Delta State.
He loved her too, when he thought of all
the sacrifices she had made and all the
things she had gone through because of
him, he couldnt help but love her more
and more.
He couldnt live without her. She had
been the wonderful helpmate since his
ten years of knowing her. She was
wonderful. She would do anything just
to make him happy.
Maybe he didnt love her the way she
loved him but he loved her, he loved her
so much and she was more than
determined to help him accomplish his
revenge mission even though she knew it
might get bloody. He had promised to
marry her but truth be told, he wasnt
ready for marriage. Even though they
lived together like husband and wife,
having s-x anytime and anyway they
want it, cooking meals and eating
together, sometimes sharing the same
bed, he wasnt ready to walk down the
altar with her ad say the ‘yes i do’
thing.
LEX: Ann, please stop this tears, i didnt
mean it that way.
ANN: You dont love me anymore Lex,
after all i’ve done for you. After all
the sacrifices, all the risks that i’ve
taken for you, you still dont love me.
I’m like a burden to you right? No
problem, whatever you reap you will sow.
LEX: Ann, you know everything you are
saying is not true. You know how much i
love you.
ANN: Say that to the birds.
Lex sighed. He was too tired for this. He
wasnt ready to nurse a crying baby
tonight. Today had been hectic. Being
Ciara Anderson’s manager wasnt easy.
The girl was bossy and could treat her
manager as her slave. Just one day he
was already tired. Assuming he wasnt
doing this for revenge, he would have
backed off. The girl was too proud, rude
and arrogant, behaving as if she was
the only beautiful girl in the whole wide
world.
Lex went beside Ann and took a pillow
from the bedside.
LEX: You can sleep here if you want, i’m
so tired. I need rest and i obviously cant
get that with you here. I really dont
know why you think i dont love you
especially when i choose not to have s-x
with you. You are a lady Ann and you
should learn to keep your pride, when
you always beg a guy for s-x, you lose
your respect. You are mistaken for a
cheap sl.ut! I’m only trying to protect
your dignity because i love you, because
you are not a s-x toy that should be
used whenever i feel like. Goodnight.
He left the room.
Ann’s tears increased. Was she that
cheap? It pained her that the love of
her life thought of her as someone who
was cheap. She shook her head in hurt,
God knows that all she did, she did for
love. She thought s-x could make him
happy. But something was clear to her
now, the love of her life found revenge
more important to him than her. And it
was painful.
She never denied her anything he
wanted, even when she found it
inconveniencing, she would always do it
as far as he wanted it. She had even go
as far as sleeping with an alhaji just
because he asked her to. Sometimes she
wondered if he even valued her. She
doubted it.
She opened his drawer and brought out
a wrap of whitish substances and
sniffed it. It calmed her down and she
dozed off with the thought that Lex
would never do away with her because
he cant do without her.
