UNMARRIED AT THIRTY
EP4
At home, after taking her shower, Tolu could feel her legs missing its steps, she had starved herself too much. She wanted to look thin like every other girls on social media. Toluwani wasn’t like this before, she used to be a very confident lady with her chubby body and beautiful face but for over a year now that everyone started reminding her of her age and pointing tonques at her size. She had become too sensitive of people wagging tonque at her, it started affecting her mental stability. She forgot that they’re more than a million men out there that admires only ladies with extra flesh on their bone’s moreover, Tolu wasn’t too big, she just wasn’t thin with flat tummy and an alligator waist.
It takes some people forever to heal from their first love’s heartbreak. Toluwani was one of those people. Some years ago when Toluwani was 23 years old, she had met Kolawale in the university of Lagos state, he was a law student, brilliant and a little too handsome. It was at the library they first met. “Hi, you look great” Kolawale had complemented her. She was actually a very beautiful lady with extra flesh compared to other girls. “Thanks” she had replied and took her sit. After few minutes, Kolawale went and sat besides her. She stylishly glanced at him like she didn’t noticed his arrival. “I’m Kolawale, Kola for short”. “I’m Tolu”. “Wow Your name is like the first sentence in a novel i want to read. Do you know what novel it is?” He asked trying to be funny but Toluwani wasn’t in a Jovia mood especially not with a total stranger who looked exactly like a playboy. She knew of all this males that are almost more beautiful than women. They’re womanizers.
“What novel is that?”.
“The title is can you be my girlfriend written by me”.
She blushed smiling like a teenager. Her dimples brightened her cheeks.
“Wow, you’ve got the most beautiful smile i have ever seen!!” He complemented her.
Like magic, Toluwani loosen up her defense against him and conversation ensued between them. As he stood up to go, he turned back and asked for her number which she gave. “oh since i bought this phone, i haven’t had a face of an angel on it before. If you don’t mind, can i take a picture of you and make it my screensaver because you’re my angel”. “Hahahaha!! Stop Kola” she said blushingly already posing for a picture. She opened her mouth, her white teeth shone upon Kolawale’s camera as it flashed its light. “taken, now i have a face of an angel on my phone”.
After two months they officially started dating, Kolawale showered her with love, he was proud of her size as he proudly took her everywhere. The love, the assurance made Toluwani to opened all her heart to him. He was everything to her and throughout the three years they dated, she was the happiest woman on earth. It was her second year in the university when she met and started dating Kolawale.
She had a best friend then, her name was Titilayo, people usually called her Titi for short. It was the same Titilayo who got pregnant for Kolawale.
As long as the world wasn’t crumbling and Toluwani wasn’t drowned in the ocean, she always told Titi everything that happened in her life and relationship. From how their date went to how sweet and loving Kolawale was. She told her friend Titi everything including how Kolawale made her screamed when they had sexx. “hmmm, you’re very lucky o. I wonder how it would be to have orgasm during sexx with a fine man like your Kola” she had replied one night when Toluwani had narrated to her how Kolawale used his tonque on her private part. Since that night, Titi started developing feelings towards Kola. She wanted to experience that fun, as each day broke her devious mind continually incubate the promiscuous desire of sleeping with her best friend’s boyfriend. Unknown to Tolu, she bared herself like a page of a book before Titi.
After lecture that Thursday afternoon, Kolawale came home tired, he dumped himself on the bed and the angel of sleep swiftly did the job. Every Thursday used to be Toluwani’s most occupied day as she always had lectures from 8am until it was 4:30pm. Titi on the other hand had a half day lecture every Thursday. She was an Economics student while Tolu was a mass communication student. For over a month now, Titi was unable or maybe unwilling to nipped the disastrous desire towards her friend’s man.
On her way back from school that Thursday, she replayed the several things Tolu had told her about Kolawale. She visualized all of them and replaced Tolu with herself in her head. She could feel Kolawale caressing her. She could feel his body melting into hers. As she erotically replayed her fantasy she immediately changed her direction and marched to Kolawale’s house like a soldier under his master’s order. At the door, she hesitated but knocked anyway. Kolawale woke up and dragged himself to the door, he peeped through the eyehole asking at the same time who was it. “It’s me, Toluwani’s friend, Titi”. “Oh, where’s she?” He asked as Titi sat on the rubber chair. “She’s still at school attending lectures”. She answered while staring at Kolawale’s six pack.
He was wearing only boxers, of course he never expected anyone at the time. Even if he did expected anyone, it definitely wouldn’t be Titilayo, his woman’s best friend. The writer of this book is Oinu Victor Achegbulu, this is in a case you read it somewhere under a different person who claimed to be the author. Na lie him lie.
“Some of you here are just wasting your parents money, you have empty skulls. You won’t pay attention when lecturers exhaust themselves to impact knowledge into you. Some of you will be chewing chewing gum like an ashawo at the night bar” the lecturer fumed as the students chooses chaos instead of comporting themselves responsibly in the lecture hall.

Humans are social being, meaning, we must for the sake of a healthy life have friend’s but do not put your happiness in the hands of your friends. No matter how close he/she is to you as your friend, there are somethings that MUST be kept secret. Your husband or boyfriend relationship, how long he last in bed, what he does to make you wet and how much he spent on you shouldn’t be discussed with your friends from beginning to the end. Say some and keep some to yourself.
