#TOCHI
Episode 17
Most of the advances from her male Facebook friends were ignored by her except for one. I found out that there was something between them right up until she started ignoring him. I checked up on the guys profile and he was dope. Seemed to be living abroad judging by the places he took his pictures. He looked like he was in his late twenties or early thirties. I just sat there and stared like i just submitted my question paper and came out with my answer sheet. Ada came back with two cans of fanta and two large meat pies. I was too annoyed or should i say heart broken to even look at her, she sat beside me oblivious of my composure and was trying to hand over the drink and snack to me. I ignored her and looked in another direction while trying to figure out my next move.
âLetâs go homeâ i finally said getting up from where we sat.
âNow?â she asked looking up at me
âYes, nowâ i sounded a bit harsh, she looked confused as she stared at me.
âBut what are we now going to be doing at home?â
âI donât know, i donât want to stay here, either you come with me or you stay here, either way iâm going homeâ i said getting up. She got up and walked after me as i led the way.
We got to my lodge and we both went in. I sat on the bed, she dropped the drinks on top of the fridge and sat beside me. She had probably noticed my countenance had changed. She came closer to me and held me by shoulders.
âToo, is anything wrong? â
I kept quiet
â Talk to me naa, eh baby, why is your face like this?â she kept asking, she was going to break down when i decided to talk.
âAda who is Oscar?â i asked looking at her.
âOscar, from wherever?â she asked
âOscar from your Facebook, Ada, who is he?â i was beginning to sound very bitter and i was bitter. I loved her and couldnât bear having someone who is probably better than me getting her attention, i was scared she may decide to leave me for him. From the chat, i had figured out that they have gone far and i wasnât ready to lose her. She looked at me with a little bit of sadness in her eyes.
âHeâs my fianceâ she quietly said as my heart started p******g so hard i assumed people outside could hear the sound.
I stared at her like i just met her for the first time, i had wished it was a joke but it wasnât.
âYour fiance?â i asked again and she nodded.
âAnd you never told me? â
â It wasnât necessaryâ she said pulling closer to me, i shifted farther from her which seemed to hurt her, she was hurting me with this revelation and i wanted so hard to reciprocate this love so she could feel how i felt. Sitting there all of a sudden i realized how scarcely we knew each other, we had been too consumed by our affection for each other that we cared about nothing us but us.
âWhat do you mean it wasnât necessary? â i asked.
â It wasnât necessary because i was going to break up with himâ
âWhy would you want to break up with him? â
â Because of You tochiâ she said and i stared at her.
âWhy because of me?â
âTochi, i met you and i fell in love with you, i was with Oscar because he told me he loved me and always tried to show that he did, i donât love him as much as i would want to, but you tochi, you lit a part of my heart that had been dark for ages, i love you for what itâs worth and iâm willing to let everything go for youâ she hugged me as she cried, i was supposed to be happy about her reassurance but i wasnât, the thought that i may end up breaking her heart made sure of that. She was going to break up with her fiance because of me and i wasnât sure i would marry her. Heck, i was just in my year one in the University. I drew her closer to me and held her tight, I loved her and that was the only thing iâm going to allow to matter, i was going to let my fears sort themselves out.
âI love you and iâm never going to let you goâ i said as we held onto ourselves.
âI love you tooâ she whispered and sniffed.
My door opened and Kossi walked in, he observed us silently for sometime and rushed to the fridge, he grabbed the drinks and meat pies and ran outside. We didnât care, our bellies were obviously filled with our love for each other. About 30 seconds later, kossi walked in again
âGuy you fit borrow me garriâ he said, i picked my heavy dictionary and flung it after him as he ran outside. I gently laid Ada to the bed and cuddled her to sleep. I dressed up and left for Eves lodge to find out her math101 exam was.
Very much to my objection, Ada had broken up with Oscar in my presence over a call. He had asked her why and she told him bluntly to his face or rather his ears that she doesnât love him enough to want to be with him. She had asked me why i was against her breaking up with him.
âOr donât you want to be with meâ she had asked with fears in her eyesâŠ
âItâs not thatâ i hugged her and pulled her closer to me âIts just that we are still students in our 100 level and i keep wondering if you can wait so long for meâ
âTochi, i will wait for eternity for you, if you want me toâ she said and held me tighter. Tonia walked in without knocking.
âHmmm, lovebirds â she said and laughed.
â Ada come and give me your English textbook, i need it nowâ
âErmm, go and check my room, it should be thereâ
âNo, come yourself, it will be fasterâ she insisted and winked at me
âTonia must you disturb usâ Ada said and heading for the door.
âGo iâm coming behind youâ Tonia told her as she left and faced me
âAre you sure its just the text book you want or do you have ulterior motivesâ i asked staring at her.
âI have dozens of English textbooksâ she said hugging me and kissing me on my lips.
âSo what do you think you can do within the 3 to 5 minutes sheâs going to spend bringing back the bookâ
âNothing, if i wanted to start something, i would have sent her to the market and not her roomâ she said and bit my lips while grabbed her hips and squeezed them hard, she moaned and kissed me again and longer.
âSheâll soon be back you knowâ i said
âYea, I just came to tell you that Eve would soon be here, she was taking her bath when i left her roomâ she said pulling away from me. I looked at her with my mouth open.
âAnd you couldnât say that since? â
â At least i told youâ she smiled
âWhat do I do?â i was getting worried and confused.
âDonât worry, i will go and hold Ada backâ she said, kissed me and left while i tidied up my room .
Eve came in 10 minutes later looking like a model. She was on a grey tight gown which revealed her hour glass shape. I hugged her for like 10 seconds in which i felt every part of her in HD. She laughed and pushed me away.
âI have missed youâ i said as i sat on the bed and pulled her to my laps.
âI missed you tooâ she kissed me and i held her cheek and we both kissed for long. Her skin were radiant and they made me weak and lovesick at the same time. We were in love and it was very obvious. The more I thought about whom i loved most, the more i became confused and the more i found myself entangled in my state of dilemma.
My phone started ringing but i wasnât going to be distracted. I flung it away and laid Eve on the bed. I lay beside her as we kissed, i was too engrossed in the affair that i didnât notice when Ada walked inâŠ
