#MyAdaobi
Episode 4
[]Ada came out to meet me at a spot a little distant from where they lived. She ran to me without her arms stretched for a hug, i hugged her and lifted her off the ground, whirled her around and dropped her. We held each other in a tight embrace for some time before i we disengaged and i observed her all over. She wore lose blue gown but her features were still well defined. I observed her long enough to decide that i hadnât made a mistake in falling for her. She was my spec and i could trade anything for her even Janet. I took her to a nearby pavement and i sat on it while she sat on my laps.
âWhoâs phone did you call me with?â i asked her
âMy auntâs own, donât call it but i will always call you with itâ
âOkay or maybe i will get my sister to do what she did the otherâ.
She smiled and her facial features lit up. In that moment that we were alone, nothing else mattered, not even the chance that her aunt could bust in on us, all that mattered was that we were together once more and was going to make the most out of it. The time was a little to 6pm and we werenât in a rush to leave. Her aunt was a nurse and so had gone for her night shift while the husband was still at work.
âWhen will you be coming to my house?â i asked her
âWhenever you want â
â I want nowâ
âYou know its not possible, i just got here, it will look like am a bad girlâ she said
âHmmm, are you a good girl?â i asked her and smiled
âQuincy! â she called and frowned.
â Donât mind me, you know you are my queen, i was just kiddingâ. She smiled and kissed me, i held onto her as our lips made noise as we kissed. We laughed and she stood up. We decided it was getting late and we had to leave, i walked her hand in hand to their gate where we hugged and kissed each other Goodnight.
I was back at Janetâs house the next day where we Romanced her maths textbook. This time around, we were in her room and the door was locked on her parents suggestion, they didnât want her younger ones disturbing us, if only they knew.
âIâm hotâ Janet said fanning herself with her fingers.
âOf course you are hot, with your killer curves and everything â i said pretending not to understand what she meant by being hot.
â Donât be silly, canât you see iâm sweating hereâ
âYes now, you are smoking hot, why wonât you sweatâ.
She hissed at me, got up from the bed and switched on the fan. She came back and sat on my laps. I dropped her on the bed and kissed her. We kissed and kissed and that was all that we did. She had earlier put a stop to our sexual activities ever since she attended a church program where the pastor strongly condemned premarital s-x, meanwhile the pastor had been rumored to be banging the choir girls. Hypocritical..
We ended our supposed mathematics lesson by 5pm and i got up to go. My eyes fell on a Nokia torchlight phone that was on her drawer.
âAre you using it?â i asked her picking it up.
âNo, why do you ask?â
âI need itâ
âwhat for?â
âfor something, you ask too many questionsâ i said
âYou always say that whenever you are up to something mischievousâ she said.
âDonât worry, you donât need to knowâ.
I left with the phone while she saw me off, dragging me along.
I bought a simcard, registered it and gave the phone to Adaobi and that bridged our communication gap to an extent.
She had called me one day and asked me to suggest a school for her, her aunt was going to enroll her in a school and wanted her to make the enquiries herself. She had wanted to come to my school but i wouldnât have that. It would be a total disaster considering that she may end up in the same class with Janet.
We ended up choosing another school which was a little close to mine and it was where princess schooled. A Clever me knew i had higher chances of seeing her everyday if she was there, my cover was picking up princess from school which was my momâs duty until Ada came and i relieved her of it. She thanked God that her Son was shaping into a responsible young man who cared about his family while I thanked God for that beautiful opportunity.
I had only one problem. Janet. I was her boyfriend and also her handbag. She loved showing me off like i was an expensive chanel bag. She had insisted she would follow me anytime i went to pick Princess and i had bluntly refused. It became a messy issue, of course she wasnât stupid, she probably suspected something was fishy. She fought and fought and lost. She was gradually losing her relevance to me, Ada had taken over. All my times were spent with Ada and Janet saw little of me. It drove her crazy until she couldnât take it anymore. She came into my class one day while we were on break. She wanted to talk and i didnât want to. She had insisted or hell would be let lose. I was scared of hell so i had to give in.
âQuincy was it something i did?â she asked as she held my hand. We were seated alone at the back of the class. She was getting emotional and i was disliking the whole drama.
âJane you did nothing and nothing is wrong, iâm still with you, am i not? â
â No, you are not, you are pushing me away and you know it, and itâs hurting meâ she was obviously trying her best not to cry and i prayed she doesnât, to save me the embarrassment.
âIâm sorry if you feel that way, its just that i have been busy and nothing more. I still love you Jane â. I said that but i wasnât sure i meant it.
â Then why donât come looking for me again? Why donât you call, and when i call, you donât pick, Quin why?â
â I told you i have been busy, i wonder why you are making so much fuss over nothing â..
The bell rang for end of break and she had to go back to her class. We arranged to meet after school. She would accompany to pick my sister from school. Adaobi didnât go to school that day so it was safe.
We walked all the way to princess school and walked back together. It was a bit fun as k carried princess on my head. A feeling still existed between us but what i felt for Ada was much more and i had prayed it was not the effect of our newly found love which often faded as time goes on. I accompanied Janet right to their gate, she hugged me and i felt a pang of guilt pierce my heart. She obviously loved me but the feeling was deviating from being mutual.
âJanetâ i called her as she wanted to go inside their house.
âYesâ she answered and turned
âIâm sorry but iâm seeing someone elseâ i said. I felt like I needed to let her know. I didnât want to disappoint her or hurt her more than she already was. I donât know how i expected her to react to it but her reaction wasnât expected.
She barely nodded as a string of tear fell of her left eye. She said goodbye and closed the gate behind her. I carried my little sister home feeling guilty and free.
