#TOCHI
Episode 19
[]I was in a daze as I stared at her. Her eyes were red with tears and I was just too dumbfounded to say or do anything. I just stared with my mouth open and my eyes blurred with tears.
“Why, Ada how? ” i asked holding her by her hand.
” I’m getting married to Oscar, he came back during the holidays and was desperate to have me in his life, he tried his best to fill the void that you bloody cheat had stupidly created” she said and pulled her hand away from mine.
“He proposed and since i had no other option, i accepted” she said and sniffed
” Ada i was sorry, you couldn’t even wait for long before jumping into his arms, if you loved me, you would have known it was going to break my heart” i was almost yelling at her, i was getting frustrated and my heart was breaking into a million pieces.
“So what did you expect me to do, come back to you so you can break my heart again and rub it in my face, i wasn’t even gone for an hour and you brought another girl in here, and if you fukking loved me, you wouldn’t have looked at any other girl because i broke up with Oscar in the first place because of you lying cheat and now you open your stupid mouth to judge me, i hate you, fukk you” she shouted and left the room banging the door behind her. I fell flat on the bed and cried to sleep.
Eve had moved into the school hostel, she was probably still devastated and needed to be around her friends. Seeing her was no longer easy as the female hostel was off bound for guys. Tonia soon became our mediator, no amount of pleading from me passed through Tonia was able to get her to meet me. The more i went after her, the more she ran farther from me. I couldn’t see any other girl except her. So one day, i decided i was done with the hide and seek game, i decided i was going to do something stupid for Love. I invaded the girl’s hostel.
Tonia had given me the number to Eve’s room, she stayed on the first floor and her room was in the middle. By 7 pm that fateful day, i had set out for her hostel, i was clad in a black hoodie and black slim jeans, my sneakers were also black and so also was my face cap which i covered with my hood. I had the perfect camouflage for the dark night. I got to the big door that led the way into the hostel and only one guard was there. He had his face to the wall and was on the phone. I snuck in stealthily behind him and moved quick through the corridor. I had merely taken a few steps before i heard him call out to me.
“Hey you, come back here, where do you think you are going?” he was slowly walking up to me. I turned towards him, acted like i was going to walk to him and then dashed up the stairs. He came after me but i was a bit faster, my sneakers also gave me the advantage. I practically jumped the rails as i ran to the third floor, he was far behind me. I used the opportunity and ran into one of the rooms and shut the door behind me. There were 3 girls in the room and they were about to shout before i saw Stella was among them.
“Tochi what are you doing here” she asked
“Errrm, i came to see someone ” i said as i breathed hard. They gave me cover as i heard the man’s footsteps run past the room. I waited for some seconds before i gave Stella a big hug and headed out of the room. I managed to get myself down to Eves room on the first floor, i walked in and she was there with a book in her hand.
“Tochukwu! ” she shouted as she saw me. 2 of her roommates were there with her. I waved at them. They smiled at me and said hi. I turned back to Eve who was still staring at me. I went straight to her and went on my knees.
” I don’t have much time here because your hostel guards are searching for me now, but i hope i can use the little amount of time i have to convince you that i took this great risk to show you how sorry i am and how much i love you. I can well assure you that i’m not leaving here unless i acquire your forgiveness. It is very important to me because i’m running mad Eve, i made mistakes, complicated mistakes that you probably would not understand” i stopped to catch my breath. I looked at her as she looked past me.
“I love you so much Eve. If you ran into hell to avoid me, i would still break in there for you because there is no me without you”
Her friends thought i was cute and i begged them to help me beg her. They helped, by the time i was done, we too were almost crying. Soon the door to door search for me commenced and they were almost getting to Eves room.
“Tochi please go, i will tell you my mind tomorrow” she said as she tried to pull me up.
“No, that is not enough ” i insisted.
” I swear i will come and see you in your lodge” she pulled me up from the ground. I hugged her and she hugged back. I kissed her forehead..
I covered my head with the cap and hood and left for the door, i walked out and was immediately grabbed by one guard. I struggled with him but he had me by my clothes. I looked around and saw more guards were coming for us. I intensified my struggle and managed to pull myself out, by then the other guards were running towards me, i pushed him down, grabbed the balcony rail and jumped to the ground. I waved at the guards as they watched me, i ran into a nearby bush and disappeared into the night..
I had ran all the way back to my logde that night to meet Tonia waiting there for me. I quickly stripped down to my shorts and sat by her on the bed.
“So what happened?, did you see her” she asked me as I tried to catch my breath.
“Yea, i did see her but not without some hassles from the hostel guards”
“So what did she say? ”
” urrm, she said she will come tomorrow and i’m guessing we maybe come back together again” i said and lay down on the bed, Tonia caressed the hairs on my belly which filled me with sensations. She bent low and kissed me while i held her by the nape. She tried to pull down my shorts and i held her hand
“Wait a little, let me rest, you will be sleeping over right?”
She nodded and sat up again. I too sat up and just then the door flipped open and Eve stormed in. She was on a black gown which revealed her hour glass figure. I quickly jumped up from the bed,she ran to me and gave me a tight hug, i closed my eyes and held onto her.
“I couldn’t wait till tomorrow to see you” she said as we disengaged and held hands.
“I missed you” she seemed to whispered
“I missed you too “i said, we were oblivious of Tonia’s presence, Tonia coughed and we both looked at her and smiled, she got, touched us and said Good luck to us before she left the room.
” What was she doing here?” Eve whispered to me
“Erm, she was the one that gave me your room number and was here to know how it all went ”
” Hmm, cool” she said and shrugged, she probably knew how naughty her friend was and wouldn’t like to have her around me. So i put my arms around her waist, brought her closer to me and put my lips on hers. She hugged me while we were at it. I was glad she came back.
I lifted her from the ground and carried her to the bed where i gently laid her down, she held me down to her and our lips were on each others again.
“Break me” she said and looked me straight in the eyes
“What? ” i asked looking down at her.
” I said make love to me” it sounded more of a command. I unzipped her gown from the back and pulled it down to reveal her firm b—–s. I put my mouth on them and s—-d at her t–s while she held my head and moaned. I pulled up her gown and removed her pant.
“Are you sure you want this?” i asked her
“Yes, if its not with you, I don’t think i want anybody else to do it”
She said. I kissed her and we continued. It wasn’t so much fun for either of us but the point wasn’t about the fun but the commitment. I swore to her that i wasn’t going anywhere if it’s not with her, i promised to stay true to her and this time around i meant it. It was a promise i held to my heart and no amount of Tonia can make me break it. We prayed together after everything and i prayed God for the strength to love her and only her forever. She soon fell asleep in my arms…
