LOVE AND LIES
FIVE
Lara’s hostel was off campus. It was just a stone’s throw from the school. It had a row of trees that made it look like a boulevard. They often swayed and danced in the breezes. A few buildings dotting it everywhere. Lara sat on her bed thinking. She had suddenly run out of cash. How she spent her money she couldn’t explain. If there was anything God would have done for her, It was a habit that would help her trim her excessive spending. Her friend Tolu was also sitting on her bed. They had refused to go to class. She had often vowed never to trek the short routes that led to her lecture theatres like other students. She had bragged that she was one of the big girls on campus so she would never condensed low to do thar. Her phone began to ring. A voice of male singer could be heard loudly from it.
“Your phone is ringing.”Tolu called Lara’s attention to her phone.
“Please leave the phone abeg. It is one of these broke a*s guys.” Lara hissed.
“I think it is Kola” Tolu picked up the phone and stared at it. “You need to talk to him.”.
“I am not talking to anyone.” Lara concluded.” I think he wants to know about the welfare of his son.”
“Then you should have given him your mum’s number. Since your son is with your mum.”
“I told my mum not to give him.”
“Why?”
“Nothing” Lara showed a mischievous grin.” I don’t want him to be bothering the poor boy.”
“Then pick the call and tell him you are broke.” Tolu advised.
” I have told him that since Tuesday but he said he is out of cash and also has many business engagements he needs to attend to. That guy doesn’t want to be responsible anymore.” She concluded. She collected her phone from Tolu and stared at it. Kola had sent her a text that he was coming later in the evening to see her.”
“He says he will be coming later in the evening.” Lara told her friend Tolu.
“Wow nice guy. Just tell him to get you things on his way.”
“I think he is on heat.” Lara showed a shrewd smile.
“What do you mean?”
“He wants s*x.”
“Don’t tell me you guys have s*x here.”
“Why not?” Lara frowned. ” This is not school hostel and besides he is the one paying the rent.”
“What about his wife?”
“He doesn’t like s*x with her. I don’t know why.”
“That guy is incredible!” Tolu concluded and sighed. Men could really be astonishing. How could a man have such a pretty wife at home and still goes about sleeping with some girls? It was something Tolu could not fathom. “Are there still men faithful to their wives in this world at all? She asked herself and sighed in disbelief. Men are just he-goats bleating around to have s*x with anything. She concluded. ” I wonder how God had fashioned that rod between their legs and made it so much burden for them to control.” She hissed thoughtfully. Lara was busy with her phone uploading some of her photos on Instagram. She kept smiling at herself.
The whole room suddenly went silent. Only snorting and hissing could be heard. Tolu rose to leave after she had concluded that there is absolutely no good man in the whole universe. Since she had dreamt of a good man who would pamper and take good care of her. That would love her and shower her with affections. She concluded that such man only existed in her dreams.
“I know what to do.” Lara spoke as Tolu was almost at the door. “I will tell Kola my phone is missing. I will switch off my line and hide my phone before he comes.”
“Why on earth will you do that?” Tolu inquired. Lara didn’t answer. She went back smiling at her phone. Tolu shut the door after her and her footsteps could be heard dying into the frozen silence of the morning.
************
Kola drove off from work at half past five. The road was busy with several honking, horning and cursing. A long rail of vehicles snaked down the road. A hazy sun was weakly sinking into the clouds. The evening breeze carried so much dust. It would swivel, twist and churned up at each sweep of the breezes. The traffic was long and Kola could only snail. But he was lucky to speed off at the end of the road, meandering his way and looping up into the Victoria bridge. A large billboard stared at him. It had a picture of a man flashing a white set of teeth and clutching a bubbling glass of beer. It read the ‘Champion beer: Drink responsibly’ a lady was beside him smiling in half n***d blouse that exposed the cleavage of her b*****s. She could be probably waiting for the man to get drunk so that she would empty his pocket. Kola thought and smiled. He later zoomed off, taking a bend of the road that led to Lara’s hostel.
He could feel his rod already nodding in his trousers as memories of his last time with Lara came flashing back at him. She had unzipped his trousers herself that evening s*****g his d**k, the way he wanted. She had swallowed it all up gulping and licking it up like roasted plantain. He had moaned, lost in the fantasy. Nothing could make him love a woman more than good blow-jobs. Lara was really good at that. she would rub her hands on it at the beginning, then lick its head before she would dip it down her mouth, swallowing it all up to touch her throat. She would fix her gaze into his eyes seductively to read his feeling as she gulped and licked it on. He would m**n apologetically rubbing his hand on her hair for more. Nkiru was not good at that. She was not just the crazy type. He shook his head as he came back from his reverie. He edged down the street and came to Lara’s gate. He eagerly shepherd the car to a halt and ducked out of it. He brought out his phone and dialed Lara’s number. A female voice told him it was not reachable. He carried himself patiently to Lara’s room, knocked at the door and waited. He heard some humming, fumbling and creaking and that told him she was in. Soon the door squeaked open. Lara’s sleepy face stared at him from the door.
‘How far?’ Kola smiled at her.’ I had been trying your line. What happened?’
‘My phone is missing’ Lara lied. ‘ I misplaced it when I went for my lecture.’
‘How could you be such careless?’ Kola raged as he walked into the room frowning.
‘Please don’t just start.’ Lara flared up. ‘ it was due to your persistent calling. I had to bring my phone out of my bag and put it on the desk. I didn’t find it when the crowd began to rush out. I was coping some notes then.’
‘I am sorry about that.’ Kola apologized.’ So how will I be able to reach you now? And also talk to my son this weekend when you visit your mum?’
‘I don’t know. I need to get another phone.’
‘Yes that’s urgent. You can’t stay without a phone.’ Kola sighed as he remembered that was another expenses he had to make.
‘ What about my son?’ Kola asked trying to change the topic.
‘He is fine. Thanks for his school fees. His school told me they got the alert. He needs more books. Don’t forget that.’
‘ I won’t ‘ Kola promised . He was now lying on the bed why Lara sat at the edge. He began to caress her. His d**k fighting and nodding eagerly in his trousers.’
‘When will you get me the phone?’ Lara asked shoving his hands off her body.
‘That will be next week baby.’ Kola intoned softly.
‘That’s too far. So I won’t make calls till next week.’ Lara said, turning to meet his face.
‘I have a lot of business transactions I need to make. The last time I got a loan from my wife to pay your rents and school fees. You really need to be patient with me.’
‘No. I can’t wait.’ Lara flared up. She got up angrily from the bed. ‘You know how important a phone is and you are here telling me to wait till next week. I can’t!’
‘Okay should I buy you one of those London use phones? At least you can manage that till we get a better phone.’
‘Me? London use?’ Lara hissed and clapped her hands in astonishment. ‘Kola I am really disappointed in you!’
‘So what do you want me to do now? I told you I have many business transactions I need to do. This is not a good time for me. I need you to understand that Lara.’ Kola begged.
‘Don’t worry. I will get a phone myself.’
‘Give me till next week. I will get you an iPhone.’ Kola concluded.
Lara went into the toilet. A scowl had contorted her face. Kola had undressed himself. He laid in the bed with a beggarly look of lust in his eyes. Lara came back into the room and swept him a look. He quickly gestured at her apologetically to get into the bed. She looked away and sat at the edge, staring into the distance. Kola shifted closer to her and began to play his hand through her hair. He massaged it down to her shoulders, rubbing it erotically. He moaned softly as he did that, then brought the hands down to her b*****s. He squeezed them with great interest and his m*****g grew louder. Lara watched disinterestedly. She was unrepentantly stiff. He brought his hands to her legs and began to caress her large thighs. He closed his eyes as his sexual temperature heightened. He then brought his hands to unzip her bum-shorts but Lara hurriedly tapped him away, pushing him off.
‘Please I am not in the mood!’ Lara barked.
‘Why?’ Kola inquired. A terrible wild glow of lust in his eyes.
‘ I have stomach ache. I am not fine.’
‘But you love to have s*x during your period.’
‘I am not talking about my period here. I have stomach ache.’ Lara barked.
‘You will be fine once I knock my rod in. It will simply do the wonder.’ Kola laughed and began to caress her all over. Lara pushed him off again. She angrily rose from the bed and went into her toilet again. She locked herself up. Kola waited for minutes. When she refused to return, he dressed up, went to the toilet and knocked. When he got no response, he tucked his shirt well and fastened his belt. He later walked out of the house with an unsatisfied glint of lust in his eyes.
********
Kola drove into his compound tiredly. Lara’s attitude earlier had really spoilt his day. He knew Lara could be such annoying sometimes. Drops of sweat were rolling down from his head even as the car’s AC was switched on. He wanted s*x and it seemed that could be read all over him. Since Lara had failed to heed, he would have no choice than to get that from Nkiru. That was easy as far as he was concerned because since the history of his marriage Nkiru had never proven stubborn when it was s*x. She was that docile and understanding as a wife.
He careered the car to a halt and gently ducked out, picking his way into the house. He could hear Nkiru’s voice from the door. She had suddenly begun to get accustomed to gospel music these days. May be she was singing them to spite him. Kola would think sometimes. She was just singing to make herself happy. Another thought would tell him. Since you ha be decided not to give her much attention. Kola climbed up the staircase. He could still hear Nkiru’s voice emerging from the kitchen. A fresh aroma of fried eggs and yam hit his nose. He smiled at that. He was famished. He got to the room and flopped into the bed pulling his tie in the process. He kicked off his shoes and pulled off his trousers. He ambled into the bathroom and had a shower. Nkiru came in and stared at him.
‘Baby. I didn’t know when you came in.’
‘How will you know when you make noises everywhere in the house?’
‘Really! So my singing is noises?. Alright I am sorry about that. ‘Nkiru apologised. ‘Dinner is ready. Your favourite as usual. Fried eggs and yam.’
‘Alright’.’ Kola showed a smile. He made his way to the dinning and ate ravenously. He came back into the bedroom and flopped into the bed. He laid, waiting for Nkiru to join him. His d**k suddenly began to fight and nod in his boxers again. He hissed. Nkiru was in the study. She was typing and singing. It was 11:00pm. He tossed and turned, hissing. When he couldn’t bare it anymore. He took his phone and sent a text to her. ‘Baby I want you in bed.’ He threw the phone back into the bed and waited. Few minutes later, Nkiru came in with only a towel swung round her. She stared at Kola who had hurriedly faced down the bed to hide his erected d**k.
‘I got your text.’ Nkiru spoke quietly and swept him a look. She had a feeling of what he wanted. ‘Is there anything you want us to talk about?’
‘ Yes’ Kola whispered. ‘ Not really’
‘ If it is not serious then I need to shower.’ Nkiru said and turned to leave.
‘Can we have s*x before you do that?’ Kola asked, concealing his ego. There was a look of pity in his eyes. It had been a pretty long time since Kola demanded s*x from her. Something told Nkiru this was a miracle. Her prayers had suddenly began to receive answers. She turned and looked at him like a father examining a prodigal son. She untied her towel and allowed it to fall to the floor. A set of well-positioned b*****s dangled out. Kola’s eyes widened in fantasy. She walked closer, her large thighs bulging out. Kola didn’t believe the sight. He looked in amazement. He didn’t know he had kept such a beautiful angel with such erotic body structure in his house all this while. He must be a fool. He told himself.
He pulled down his boxers hurriedly and his turgid d**k nodded out in excitement as if it had got a glimpse that solution had finally come. Kola began to fondle her b*****s and caressing her thighs at the same time as Nkiru crept into the bed. He was restive. Nkiru laid into the bed and for the first time after a long one, she watched Kola give her a head. It was amazing. Kola was like an animal that night and she enjoyed every bit of it. She moaned as he sucked her itchy c**t, fingering it at the same time. Kola had never stayed such long giving her a head. She begged him to stop. Finally, he sat up and demanded for a blow job. Nkiru crept down and crouched over him like a beast. She began to massage his d**k first of all with her hand and it became stronger and stronger in the process, nodding out a clean shaven head.
Nkiru couldn’t not explain what came over her. She began to lick the head. It tasted great to her. She had often detested blow-jobs. But she didn’t believe it could taste such great. Kola began to m**n. She then dug it into her mouth and swallowed it all up. Kola held her head as if he was suddenly electrocuted. He began to call her names. ‘Nkiru went on gulping,licking and salivating. She would allow it to touch her throat. The strength of Kola’s d**k made her yelp and yowl within. It grew stronger and bigger in strength as she sucked. Then finally she held it out, sat over him and filled it in. A strange feeling saturated her. She began to ride on him. Kola gasped at intervals, moaned and hummed. She had never believed Kola would stayed such longer. The whole house was suddenly filled with soft m*****g, humming and snivelling of breaths.
She slouched down when she was tired and Kola came up. There was a tiger look in his eyes. He rubbed his hand over his d**k, dipped a finger into her and began to thrust. Nkiru began to cry because Kola had never or in a long time held her that way. He possessed an amazing strength that night. When he was done, he dropped into the bed and began to pant. Nkiru came closer and crouched into his arms. She enjoyed every bit of it. That was the first time in a long one to enjoy s*x with her husband. The last time she was treated this way was during their honeymoon. She watched him pant for a while before he slept off. Nkiru smiled happily at herself. Soft tunes of the gospel music she was singing earlier came back to her and began to play softly in her heart. Something told her she was gradually winning the battle and God had begun to take control. She dosed off eventually snorting happily in her sleep.
