Life as a corper

Episode 186

seriously bro, i think she do possess everything i want in a woman, moreover she has been there for me all these while and i just can’t wait to take her off her family’s influence before they succeed in destroying her life” Frank continued while i breathed deeply saying nothing.

“i will buy Jamb form for her again next year, praying she gets a high mark this time. She won’t be going back to Portharcourt where she’s working after this christmas. I intend going with her to my PPA” he concluded seriously. I shrugged and wished him luck, he already had everything worked out and even though i had some reservations concerning his plans, i kept sealed lips. I wasn’t the person to spoil his happiness.

As i headed home minutes later, my phone began ringing. I gasped with shock when i saw that it was Tessy calling. From the day my relationship with her turned sour my heart always froze whenever she called me.
I couldn’t think of the reason she was calling, since she has agreed to let me be till January. I finally answered her call after my phone rang three times.

“happy Xmas Val. How do we see tomorrow?. I’m currently at my hometown. Do we meet at Okigwe, Anara or Owerri?” she asked as if all was well between us. My heart froze over and over as i swallowed hard. I couldn’t think out a fast answer.

“c’mon don’t keep me waiting. I just want to see you and it isn’t because of anything you did” she said slowly, sounding very enticing and sweet, but my mind or should i say conscience warned me that it was a trap.

“i know you are enjoying at your hometown but don’t tell me you can’t make out even an hour to see me. Let’s meet tomorrow at the family house opposite Capitol hotel {orji} Owerri. Don’t fail me” she announced sharply.

“alright” i finally breathed, while she laughed in her usual manner as she ended the phone call.

“Did i just say alright?? Hmmm” i wondered as i realised the consequences of my answer. But it was already too late to eat my word. I had to think of a plan. I had to think fast.

Turning the car, i drove back to Frank’s house, in order to seek out advice and beg him to accompany me. I parked my car outside and walked into the quiet house. [Frank’s parents left the house when i was with him minutes ago]

I was a bit surprised to find his room door locked. Paying no attention to it, i knocked, but it took him time to answer. When he finally opened the door five minutes later, he had with a silly look on his face. I still paid no attention to it, and tried to enter, but quickly stopped when my eyes fell on a young girl who was trying hard to compose herself and appear calm.

“frankkkkk eeeeiii!” was all that escaped my lips. I couldn’t imagine how he was able to sneak in the girl under such a short time. He quickly dragged me outside and whispered with a smile.

“her friend is on the way. You can try your luck” he said, winking at me and making me forget what brought me back to his room.

hmmm nawaoo, i thought you have repented?” i joked when i finally found my voice. He scoffed and shrugged.

“My friend whatever you eat in this life is what you take to the grave” he replied seriously while i laughed before telling him about the phone call i recieved moments ago and what i intend doing. He frowned slightly after hearing all i poured out.

“You are scared of the devil yet you are always eager to dine with him. No be me and you jor. I can’t go with you, the best i can advice, is for you to switch off your phone tomorrow and look for an excuse to give if she calls the day after. You can afford to do that, can’t you?” he asked seriously.

“of course i can” i replied as i thought over his advice.
_____
The next day, i simply did as Frank advised by switching off all my phones. Yet my mind wasn’t at rest all through that day. I couldn’t imagine the outcome of it all. I deeply regretted ever having anything to do with Tessy. I felt my dealings with her will keep haunting me for the rest of my life.
When the second day arrived. I switched on my phones, my lies and excuse ready and well rehearsed for her. But she never did call, which to me seemed like a bad sign. I feared she was heavily disappointed. I couldn’t imgaine what the coming year would look like.
_____

However we had a very wonderful Christmas, even though it quickly sped by like Lightening.. Adaora enjoyed every moment with us, appearing cool, pleasant and respectful all through.
On January 3rd 2013 we returned to Enugu, where everyone once again faced life. My immediate younger sister and Adaora quickly began making preparations to travel back to their PPA, while i equally began making mine.

I couldn’t help but feel for Adaora, because i knew she was scared of returning to her Abuja Apartment all alone, which really prompted me to bravely walk into her room the next night which was January 4th.

The time was 9:30pm when i walked into the dark room. I couldn’t imagine the kind of reception that awaited me, yet i quietly sneaked in like a baby rat going after a loaf of bread guided by three angry cats.

As soon as i got to her bed, the table lamp which was neatly set opposite the edge of her bed switched on, illuminating the room with its bright light, revealing Adaora’s face. Her eyes sparkled brightly as she quickly sat up, facing me. Her jaw drawn and ready for a fight.

“what are you doing here?” she rudely asked, seriously eyeing me. I nervously smiled and sat beside her.

“i know you are scared of returning to Abuja?” i calmly asked, holding her right hand.

“of course i’m, thanks to you” she replied coldly, while i breathed deeply.

“i will come over to Abuja to be with you till everything is settled. I will come the day after tomorrow, i promise” i said quietly, my heart pounding loud. She looked up at me, her eyes curiously searching my face. Nervously i forced out a smile and nodded. Tension slightly shaking my slim body.

“do you want me to involve my mother. She can do something about this situation?” she suddenly proposed.

“no dear, don’t worry. I will fix everything. It’s my problem and not yours” i replied, while she shrugged in resignation, blushing as our eyes met once again. Then it suddenly happened.

With a calm swift move, i drew close and planted a kiss on her lips. She instantly shivered as she felt it, her temperature rising in the process. Breathing deeply, i kissed her again. This time the kiss was more stronger and precise than the first one, holding her strongly as i delivered it with passion, while she weakly tried to push me away, even though her lips and tongue were glued to mine.

We were soon struggling on the bed, kissing, fondling and romancing each other. It was such a wonderful moment. The passion intense and strong, her moans and touch aroused me the more. I never expected such response with her.
I instantly wished i could turn back the hands of time and wipe away all my wrong doings.
Oh when a woman is in love, she loves for real.

She finally gave me access to her honeypot after much struggle. I managed to go one round before she locked up again.
“Val what we just did still dosent change anything between us. I allowed you to have your way because i felt like having s-x and nothing more” she seriously said to me after the deed. I knew her statement wasn’t true, but i nodded as if i believed her, frowning slightly as if it pained me.
___

The next day my sister and Adaora travelled to Abuja while i headed to my PPA. After my clearance which i did the next day, i headed to Abuja. It really was on the 7th of January 2013. A day so deeply stuck in my memory. However, or should i say surprisingly, Tessy nor Elinor never really called up till that moment, but deep down i knew a great battle awaited me.

Lord guide me” i prayed.more at my9jarocks.info

EPISODE 187

I arrived at Adaora’s apartment quiet on time that fateful day. The sun was still up as i made my way into her sitting room.

Of course she was very pleased to see me, even though she never made it look obvious. We had a quiet but memorable evening, a super dinner at one of the best resturants in town, where we enjoyed each other’s company and discussed our future. It truly wasn’t easy persuading her to go out with me that fateful evening, but when she finally accepted, the cute smile she gave me was enough payment for all the troubles.
“you know by now we are naturally supposed to be preparing for the first stage of our life together or should i say marriage, but here we are struggling to be friends and scared of our lives” she said quietly to me as we enjoyed the rich meal. I blushed and looked away, feeling very bad.

Adaora always had enjoyed talking about our upcoming marriage even though i was yet to propose to her, but lately due to all my misdemeanors she kind of kept her feelings to herself, bravely bearing her sorrows all alone.

“so have you informed Tessy that you are in town, what did she say?” she curiously asked. I breathed deeply and picked my phone.

“no dear, let me call her right away” i replied, dialling Tessy’s phone number, while she kept quiet, her ears wide open.

“hullo Val” i soon heard Tessy greet as she answered my phone call. My heart pounded loud as i cleared my throat.

“i just came into town, i mean Abuja, how do we see?” i asked calmly,

“hmmmm, ok, alright, i will call you tomorrow” she replied like someone deeply surprised, ending the call after her statement and giving me no chance to say anything else.

“what did she say?” Adaora curiously asked, i shrugged and told her all Tessy said to me.
__

However we got a very big shock the next day when Elinor showed up {at Adaora’s house} without notifying any of us, leaving us very confused. The timing of her visit equally was so early, barely a minute past seven in the morning. Yet she walked in as if all was fine, rendering no apology for the disturbance.

“please can you fetch me a glass of water” she smiled to Adaora as she lowered herself on a sofa, while i nervously composed myself.
I was a bit scared, but i showed it not.

“so can i see the pictures?” Elinor suddenly asked, dropping the glass cup Adaora served her water with. I shifted uncomfortably, breathing heavily.

“how did you get to know that i’m in town?” i heard myself ask. She scoffed and rolled her eyes, while Adaora came forward and sat beside me.

“news travel fast in this city, moreover i have my ways” she replied with a smile,
“so can i now see the pictures?” she anxiously asked again. I gave Adaora a quick look, shrugged and brought out my phone, quietly opening the picture gallery.

“here they are” i murmured as i sat up and approached Elinor, who quickly stood up with glittering eyes as i showed her the pictures one after the other. I couldn’t help but notice how tensed up she was, breathing heavily like someone planning a difficult hit job.

“how do i get them, name your price please, d–n” she instantly begged after seeing the last picture. I shook my head and drew back.

“i showed you the pictures because i felt like. They are not for sale” i replied seriously. She held her head, drew back and bit her lips.

“one million” she screamed out,
“i’m offering a million naira” she seriously announced, making me draw back with suspicion.

“really!” i exclaimed, wondering what she planned doing with the pictures that made her offer me so much. It’s true that she once offered me something for the pictures, but as of then she was yet to see all the pictures. Luckily Adaora’s sharp gaze brought me under control.

“give me two days to think about your offer” i murmured, while she shrugged.

“alright no problem, but remember to stay low and keep away from my friend Tessy. She has an army waiting for you. Don’t dare try anything with her” she advised, smiled at Adaora and left without another word.

“you are not thinking of selling the pictures to her?” Adaora immediately asked, making me shrug nervously. My phone rang instantly, silencing us. It was Tessy calling.

“hi Val, you can meet me at my house, 6pm. Your safety is guaranteed. Don’t come late please” she said and hung up, giving me no chance to say anything. Adaora who overheard everything{the phone was on speak out} nodded.

“of course you also need an Army to go there and i will help” she suddenly offered.
“you remember Maryam? My muslem friend that got married sometime ago?” she asked. I nodded as i faintly remembered her.

“her uncle is a colonel serving in a military base here in Abuja. He’s a nice man, i can ask him to send me ten soldiers, with them we can go to Tessy’s house, you can equally call Obinna to come with his car, which will make us thirteen” she calmly poured out with a smile. I couldn’t say anything, i was very surprised and happy. It was as if God knew my plight and finally had pity on me.

It’s showtime.

2hours later, Adaora’s house

“the colonel only promised to send two men. I guess he didn’t buy my lie” Adaora said softly as she came into my room, calmly sitting on the bed, her eyes on me.

I smiled, sat up and held her,
“you have done more than enough for me. Thanks alot dearest” i said with all my heart. She looked away saying nothing.

“i do owe you alot, seriously” i breathed with passion, embracing her tightly, my nose on her hair.

“i do many things to make you happy but you always end up hurting me” she murmured and tried to stand up, but i held her strongly, preventing her from making any move.

“yea i know i don’t deserve your help nor love. I know i have wronged you more than a thousand times, but please bear in mind that if i should come back to this world a million times, i still will choose you over and over again. My love you are” i breathed solemnly. She simply kept quiet, saying nothing. My words really had some effects on her.
Suddenly she began crying, sobbing so hard that her whole body shook tremendously. I couldn’t believe my eyes, i was lost and speechless for a while.

“i have suffered so much for you. I have endured alot but what do i always get?, no you don’t love me Val” she sobbed. I truly had a hard time trying to make her stop.
__

Finally by 5:50pm, precisely ten minutes after Obinna arrived, two soldiers showed up with a blue Hilux truck, and together we all headed to Tessy’s house. I never wanted Adaora to go with us, but she insisted on witnessing everything , leaving me with no choice than to oblige her.

Minutes later, we arrived at Tessy’s premises. I couldn’t help but smile as her gateman opened the gate for us, before disappearing with top speed to notify his madam of our presence.

EPISODE 188

“please you guys should wait for us here {in the car}” Adaora addressed the two soldiers who nodded without any protest.

“but why?” i heard myself ask as we walked into Tessy’s sitting room with Obinna.

“it’s wise they remain there, moreover i don’t want them to learn the whole truth which may happen if they should enter the house with us” she replied.
___

Tessy was extremely alarmed by the way i barged into her house with my entourage. She really was expecting only me, and so you can’t imagine the kind of shock on her face as we walked into her sitting room. Yes she was smiling nervously, but her tensed look and coloured face revealed her feelings to all who cared to notice.

“i beg of you Val, what’s with the crowd you came with. I was expecting only you” she asked as soon as we settled down, cleverly ignoring Adaora and Obinna.

“of course you weren’t expecting me to come alone after what happened the last time?” i scoffed,
“moreover you are equally not alone” i said as i stared at two strange ladies sitting beside her.
“knowing you fully well, i won’t be surprised if there are two to ten security operatives at your backyard” i added with a sense of humour.

“oh Val, quit insulting me. You talk too much, let’s get down to the main issue that brought you here” she said seriously. I shrugged, drew back and crossed my legs.

“alright let’s start” i said with a smile, but she quickly frowned, throwing quick glances at Adaora and Obinna.

“you don’t expect us to be talking about such an awful thing in the presence of…. I’m a respectable Lady for crying out loud. Let’s go to the second room” She said standing up, making me freeze with suspicion.

“i hope you arn’t trying to play tricks on me?. You won’t like it if you dare” i seriously said, tapping Adaora before standing up. She simply rolled her eyes and said nothing as she went towards the second room. I calmly followed her, my heart furiously beating.

___

“you know i don’t understand you Val?. You are such a young promising boy but you enjoy daring me” she said as soon as we got to the room.

“and that’s the main reason you tried countless times to kill me the previous year huh??” i asked,
“anyway i’m here to give you my word and assurance that nothing will happen to your pictures if you let me be. The ones in my phone will be deleted this moment for security reasons, but the ones in my mail will be left there as a leverage. You let me be and i let you enjoy your scandal free life. I’m a young guy and it will do me no good to expose your pictures and endanger my life” i proposed seriously. She breathed deeply and smiled.

“dear me, you talk nicely, but what about my five hundred thousand?” she asked lightly,

“i know nothing of the money you are asking. Seems like you are wearing a wire?” i asked suspiciously, regretting all i said without restriction.

“i think we have a deal. My pictures remains stashed away and i let you enjoy your life. Right?” she murmured as she offered me a handshake, avoiding my question. I shook hands with her even though deep down i was worried and suspicious {because of the way she easily accepted my offer}.

As we returned to the main sitting room, Adaora looked up at me with curiousity.

“it’s over” i said with a smile as we hugged. But deep inside me i felt all was not right.

“i can’t believe you were able to convince my dear friend Tessy to stand down. It’s quite impressionable things you do sometimes. I believe you gave her quite a scare with your entourage” Elinor said over the phone, while i scoffed, saying nothing.

She called few minutes after we returned from Tessy’s house. The timing of her call was near perfect, because i was in my room undressing when the call came through.

“i know in your mind, you think all is settled and over, but believe me, my dear friend is still closely watching you. I don’t know how but i know for sure she is. I’m still the only one that can protect you” she said softly. I laughed in disbelief.

“dear, i’m perfectly fine, please stop worrying about my safety” i said lightly,

“i guess you really don’t know how it feels knowing that a boy you once had an affair with, has many copies of your unclad pictures. Tessy might be smiling with you but i swear that it ain’t over yet””her career, reputation, dignity, business and integrity are all at stake my dear boy. Look very well before you leap” she seriously said, scaring me deeply with her words, which got me thinking over everything again and again.

As if Adaora knew what was going on in my mind. She asked me to sit on her bed when i showed up in her room to kiss her good-night.

“do you actually think it’s over?” she asked, searching my face. I swallowed hard, my heart furiously pounding hard.

“after all the threats and noise, i really was surprised that she agreed to your offer within five minutes. I’m still scared because the easiest way of doing away with your enemy is by reconciling publicly with him or her, thus making the person to lose guard before delivering the final blow” she said seriously. Exactly the same thing Elinor was trying to insinuate hours earlier. I forced out a smile, keeping my feelings to myself and carefully holding back from telling her about Elinor’s phone call.

“do you love me?” she suddenly asked with glittering eyes. It really wasn’t her first time of asking me such question, but somehow i felt uncomfortable.
“because if you do. All these wouldn’t have happened” she added with a whisper.

I swallowed hard miserably, i knew what was coming next which was nothing other than tears. I had to do everything to prevent her from crying again. But deep inside me, her question kept ringing in my head.

“I just feel like hitting and breaking your head, but i just can’t. I just can’t because i still feel a lot for you. No matter how much i try hating you i find my heart melting more and more. I don’t know, i don’t just know what is wrong with me” Adaora cried passionately.
I held her softly, murmuring quick prayers as i searched for the best words to console her.

“oh don’t touch me, let me be” she cried, struggling to free herself from my grip, but i held her strongly, burying my nose in her hair.

“please stop, stop dwelling in the past my dear” i begged,

“the past helps in shaping our future, you have to admit that you ain’t the right person for me. I’m just living in a big dream, no my dear i can’t keep dreaming, i can’t keep sleeping, i can’t continue living this way” she said amidst sobs. I couldn’t say anything else, the only way to stop her outburst was by having se.x with her since she was still very vunerable to me. But i knew it was just but a temporal remedy to her unhappiness, having se.x with me no longer means anything to her.

Grabbing her two bosoms, i squeezed them softly, drawing back to stare at her eyes, which quickly lit up, tears still falling heavily.
“my love you already know that i’m marrying no other person than you. You are my life, my wife, my future” i moaned, placing my lips on hers. We kissed for a while before she broke away from me.

“i know already that you have no choice than to marry me, your family is pushing you to me, isn’t it so??” she asked with deep passion.

“oh dear me of course not” i breathed,

“i don’t want to marry your corpse. I don’t want a husband who already has children scattered everywhere. I’m scared of my future with you” she continued, moaning as my lips landed on her left b—m.

I finally got her down, subjecting her to series of warm se.x. I gave it to her the way she wanted, slow and steady with romantic words and promises. I calmed her down with my calm touch and caresses making her release{c-m} with great abandon.

Minutes later, we held each other deeply exhausted. A tear dropped from her eyes landing on my nose. I breathed deeply, tears filling my eyes as i recalled all she went through for my sake, our begining, how she fought for me, how she stood by my side and how we ended up on her bed.
I had wronged her so terribly, i couldn’t imagine how i would feel if my sister should pass through half of what she went through for my sake. I couldn’t imagine her brothers reaction if they should learn of our story. I couldn’t imagine the kind of love she had for me which has made our relationship last for so long. I couldn’t imagine my life without her. I have been a fool all these while, playing with my destiny for no just cause” i deeply reasoned.

“val you are crying, why are you crying??” i heard her ask, bringing me back from my thoughts. But before i could answer, my phone rang. Picking it up from the floor, i saw that it was no other person than the twin i asked out the previous year calling. It was as if the devil just prepared another trap for me so so soon.

EPISODE 189

Luckily it turned out to be a /flash/. My phone stopped ringing before i could answer it.

Two days later, i headed back to my PPA with a happy smile. However Inside the bus, i had enough time and space to think over my life and future once again. I felt my problems with Tessy were finally settled and over, leaving me with the huge task of completely winning back Adaora’s wounded heart.
“GOD help me” i prayed as i drifted into another dream.

Time wasn’t on my side, i equally wasn’t getting any younger, nor was i still a campus boy.

“In few months i will cease being a corper and Nigeria isn’t an easy country. Living a life of games and deciet won’t get me anywhere” i advised myself, breathing deeply as i counted the days left for me as a corper.
“d–n! Adaora, my sister and Frank will all be passing out in a couple of weeks, precisely before second week of february” i realised with shock.
“Time definetly waits for no one” i murmured, deeply thinking towards the career i would engage in after passing out.

My heart pounded fast as i reasoned towards that direction. I truly would have loved working in a federal institution, but the competition and unavailability of jobs was something that bothered me greatly.

“Well i guess i will have to manage Dad’s business until i get something much better” i said to myself, even though i knew we survived all through the years mostly with the money he made from politics. His business was just a mere front {used for* ****}. Thinking about politics i smiled. Apga, Apc, Pdp are all but the same, dam.n old men switching parties every now and then, making friends with all the party members and secretly meeting with each other under numerous guise while gullible youths fought for them in Villages.
‘Where are the politicians children? Of course they are busy dating each other’. I smiled, shaking my head.
“Come 2015 i will make my first appearance in politics” i concluded with a nod.
_____
Getting to my PPA, I found out that three new corpers were posted to our school. Two females and a male. One of the female corpers already was occupying my position in the head teacher’s office{desk}

“Val we got someone to help you out since you hardly stay around. All you have to do now is simply to hang around as a helping teacher” the head teacher seriously said to me. I really didn’t know whether to be angry or not, because his words were like a polite insult.

However i had no reason to protest and on Friday, few days later, i returned to my apartment in town for the weekend. Surprisingly the twin called once again, this time it wasn’t a flash but a real phone call. Little did i know, that my life was about to head towards another dangerous path.

“you don forget me abi?, you no longer call. Happy new year” she greeted lively as soon as i answered her call.

“i was tired of your shakara nau” i laughed, wondering why she so suddenly sounded very loving and nice to me.
“wow sometimes it’s just so good to give naughty girls the break they deserve” i reasoned with a smile.

“you see, you don’t care a dime about me, because if you do, you wouldn’t have stopped checking up on me” she accused seriously. I scoffed, thinking hard.

“so where are you?” i asked just to change the topic of discussion,

“Owerri” she announced, getting more of my attention with her pronouncement.

“stop playing nau, be serious” i begged in disbelief,

“of course, i’m in Owerri. I came in four days ago. I’m staying with a friend who lives at works layout” she replied seriously. I rubbed my face with my right palm, breathing deeply.

“so would you like us to see each other?” i asked out of courtesy, because i knew she called for that reason. Of course i equally was eager to see her, but the feelings i had for her the previous year weren’t in me any longer, moreover i gave Adaora my word never to insult her image ever again by misbehaving.

“of course we can” she replied calmly,

“when and where?” i asked,

“oops so you are in town?” she murmured laughing,
“well let’s meet at a fastfood joint. The one after Imsu juction,. I really can’t remember the name but it’s the only condusive place i know for now” she added,

“alright, i will call you tomorrow” i said calmly,

“it’s cool, and another thing. I won’t be coming alone, my friend will be with me” she added.

“no probs” i murmured and ended the call while my conscience tried to reprimand me.
“it’s just a harmless date and nothing more” i assured myself, swallowing my saliva.

______

We had a long chat the next day at the restaurant, discussing various topics. Her friend equally was very beautiful, lively and social. We totally enjoyed the date.

“i really can’t believe it’s really you” i confessed while she simply blushed and rolled her eyes.

“so for how long will you stay in town before returning to your school?” i asked,

“i will be staying for quite a while before going back to my boring school. Owerri is very lively and wonderful” she laughed.

“i guess you will love to know where i reside?. It’s actually a stone throw away from here” i said smiling, she breathed deeply, throwing a glance at her friend who shrugged in approval.

Minutes later, i took them to my apartment before taking them home,
“i guess we will see tomorrow?” i asked as they alighted from my car.

“yea if you can come pick us” she replied sweetly.

But when the next afternoon approached, my conscience refused allowing me to call her. I began feeling guilty all of a sudden, until by 2:45pm when she called to know if i was coming.

Surprisingly she appeared alone when i finally went to pick her up. I was surprised and speechless.

“my friend isn’t available today. So it’s just me and you” she joked as she got into my car. The once cold and hard to get girl was now free with me as if we had known each other for years. I never for once reasoned that her sweetness was more than normal. I never knew i was bringing in a mole into my life.

The devil once again sent me another substitute, and i was way too gullible.
But did i betray Adaora once again?? Hmmmmm

“so do you have anywhere in mind you want us to go?” i asked as i drove,

“no not exactly” she replied with a smile. I breathed deeply and headed towards my apartment.

“i hope you won’t mind if i take you to my apartment?” i asked politely,

“not at all” she replied with a serious look.

On getting to my apartment we enjoyed a local movie together, before she fried some plantains i bought days ago. I never for once gave her a lustful look nor touched her, even though as a guy my mind sometimes wandered towards that direction. I saw no need in making s#xual advances to her nor starting what i couldn’t finish. All i wanted was her company. Three hours later she got ready to leave.
___

“you know you really look and behave like a nice guy” she murmured as i drove towards her apartment.

“so you are trying to say that i’m not a good person huh?” i asked with a smile. She kept quiet, saying nothing.
“c’mon say something nau?” i urged, pinching her left hand.

“let me be jor, you wouldn’t have gotten involved with a married woman if you are decent as you claim. Divorced or not” she said unguardedly, shocking me with her words. I instantly grew serious and silent.

“married woman?” i murmured to myself,
“of course she’s referring to Tessy” i answered quietly, the revelation hitting me like a slap.

“what did Tessy tell you?, how much do you know” i asked as i stopped my car at the spot i picked her hours ago.

“please don’t ask me, thanks for everything” she said with a smile, winked at me before alighting from my car. I bit my lips and drove off.

“was her comment made out of resentment or care?” i wondered,
“if she knows so much about Tessy and i, how come she’s now hanging out with me?” i wondered. It never crossed my mind that perhaps Tessy sent her to finish the dirty work, since i felt i already reached a compromise with her. Moreover the twin never look like a half penny cheap girl who would do such a job.

I spent a restless night thinking over everything and the next morning i called her {the twin}, asking if she was free. I was very eager to know all she knew about me.
Even though I already knew it wasn’t going to be easy making her to open up, i felt i had the experience to penetrate her mind.

“you can come pick me up by 11am, i guess you have nothing doing” she said with a very weird tone, but i covered it up with laughter.

“i’m still enjoying the new year dear” i laughed and hung up.

By 12noon we were together in my apartment. My mind kept playing around as i threw quick glances at her while her attention was on the soap opera that was showing on my Television.

“about my dealings with Tessy, do you resent me over it?” i finally asked, unable to find the best words to use in raising up the topic. She simply looked at me before facing the T.v again.

“please i don’t want to talk about it” she murmured. I drew close and held her hand.

“tell me all you know, i’m ready to reciprocate by telling you my side of the story” i offered seriously.

“when you were all over me the previous year. I thought finally my life was about getting eventful, but you turned out to be a deceiver, a scoundrel, a cheat. You have no honour” she said coldly without mincing words, standing up and leaving me totally stunned.

“so why are you now with me?” i asked without thinking, she scoffed and looked away.

I thought i knew all about women. I felt i had all the tools needed to read every woman, but she proved me very wrong. I couldn’t quite grasp what was going on in her small mind. I couldn’t figure out anything.

What i saw in her eyes was colder than hatred, hotter than resentment, more revealing than spite and stronger than affection. I couldn’t say what it is that i saw. I realised that moment that the heart of a woman is more complex than i imagined.

“i have to stop her from leaving” i reasoned as i went after her.
