He didn't look away
His gaze was steady, clear
She thought aloud
'He has gotten what he wanted, power has changed hands'
He: What did you say?
She: What
He: You were mumbling something about power
She: Don't mind me, I was thinking aloud
He smiled
She: The story of my life
He: I am not giving you a story, I am telling you what will be.
She: Amen
And he was true to his word
He never wavered
He was a good lover and a very wonderful teacher
He coached her until she passed her pre-ND examinations
He was there with her as she registered in the polythecnic
She was content, happy
He was good and she learned fast
School resumed and off she went
Mornings and daytime were her best
From class to friends her day was great
But alone at night in her room was war
There is always fire in her members
Always the urge, the longing
She prayed
Jehovah! Jesu Kristi!!, Michael Mimo!
Please take this urge away from me
Yet the fire persisted
Days rolled into weeks
It became unbearable
Everything she sees looks good enough for romp
Every guy, any guy will do
It was that intense
He wanted to borrow a note
She was well dressed
He was wearing only boxers
She apparently sent him a signal
He apparently got it
Next thing she knew was relief
Relief as he plunged deep into her
He did his deed and left
She cried
She was a pastor's daughter
Her mother the Iya yard
How could she love sex this much
Why isn't her boyfriend in the same school with her?
The shame was the backbreaker
The next door neighbour had seen the opening
She lets him in often
To help her deal with the fire
He heart was in her mouth
He will find out and leave me
Her conscience howled to the moon
The neighbour kept his distance
Somehow her boyfriend found out
She knelt and begged
I am sorry...
He was the one paying her school fees
He paid the rent
She was reading a novel on the road
He asked her if they could exchange novels
They became friends
He gained admission
When are you going to school? He asked
'I am not, my parents are too poor' She replied
He turned her life around
She had broken the hedge
He was faithful, she was sure of this
Her longings sold her out!
He forgave her
He changed her house
'Your proximity to him makes me uncomfortable'
She was redeemed
I will never stray again, she promised herself
Over and over again
With different guys
Once she met a guy in the morning, they were romping before noon
She couldn't control the fire
She got pregnant
She ran to his school
I need money for abortion!
He gave her
It wasn't his baby
She didn't give him time to think
She called it off
He: What did i do?
She: If I marry you, i will never feel secure. I cannot believe you have no desire to get even. I cannot believe you will forgive everything and we will just have a happily ever after
I cannot!
If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature
My forgiveness was total and absolute
She: No way, no man can forgive a woman like that, besides I deserve to start all over with someone else without my baggage hanging over me
It was over
He had lost out.
The pain began to wane
He remembered promising her never to leave
He remembered his resolve in keeping that promise
Now he had to consciously say out loud everyday
I do not love so and so anymore
I move on and I will love another
Then she called
She: Hello, where are you?
He: Just got into the city
She: Can we see?
He: Why not?
She came around, he had missed her too much
She: So...
He kissed her, the red sea parted, the rod of Moses led the way
It was good
They did it again, again
He: Thank you for coming, This is your transport fare
He dropped some money on the table, he went out
She cried
He had treated her like a prostitute
She stayed
He returned
He: You are still here?
She: Take your money, I am not a prostitute
She left
The End
