UNMARRIED AT THIRTY
EP 5
“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.
“No be say you sabi teach sef. If you can’t teach just go outside” a voice from the middle of the hall echoed.
Toluwani who never was among chaotic people sat silently in the hall hoping the lecturer could quickly get done with his business.
“I don’t blame you, some of you are empty barrels whose only specialty is failure and causing commotion for others but i promise you all nonchalant and unserious people that you will fail, yes i promise you that I won’t compromised on my marking scheme” he said furiously. The incandescent display of the students irked his emotions.
Titilayo gazed sallaciously at Kolawale’s chest, his six packs, she followed the lines down to his navels. Her body was quaking, she gulped her saliva. “You’ve got an incredible sixpacks” she complemented as Kola quickly wore a vest when he noticed he was almost naked. “Thanks but why are here alone?”. “I– i — erm kola i” she shuttered. From her eyes movement to how she bite at her index fingers, it showed she was extremely nervous. She couldn’t be so nervous if she had a godly thought.
“Maybe i should call your friend to come take you home because i have somewhere to go” kola suggested as he took his phone from the table. Before he could dialled the number, Titi rushed to him stopping him from dialling the number. As she rushed, she almost fell but well she fell into the arms of Kolawale. His arms was like an electricity to her, she felt a warm shiver ran down her spine. She left herself on his broad chest. Kolawale tried to unglued her from himself but she had tied her hands around his waist whispering something into his ears. Kolawale’s heart palpitate violently as her lips closed upon him.
Tolu was extremely hungry, she had eaten only a half plate of stewed rice in the morning. “It’s already 4pm, i should call to remind Titilayo to prepare some food” Tolu soliloquised. She picked her phone from the bag and dialled Titilayo’s phone, it rang but before it was answered, someone unintentionally ran into her. The phone fell from her ear into the gutter.
The lady who bumped into her assisted her with the help of an Okada man, they brought out the phone out from the foul smelling gutter.
“Carryam go make dem loosam now now” the Okada man advised. Toluwani hooped on the motorcycle and he rode with speed of light to a repair shop nearby.
“Stop it Titi, you’re Tolu’s best friend for goodness sake”. Kolawale roared with tempestuous rage when she groped his testicles begging him to please make him feel same way he always do to her friend. Please Kola, just this once, i have loved you for so long and i can’t hide it anymore” she pleaded but Kolawale pulled her away and sat her back on the chair. When the phone rang and she saw it was her friend, she hesitated answering but answered anyway, her voice was shaking and shuttering. “Hel—hello, hel—” she was so nervous that she didn’t know the call had disconnected before she could even answered.
When nurturing this desires, one of her close friend’s had advised her not to tried it when she jokingly told her. To those who have made up their minds to commit atrocities. They always have Van Gogh’s ear towards advice (they won’t ever listened to any advice).
“Hai fine girl, you phone dey okay. Luckily the water no enter inside” the young Ibo boy manning the repair shop said. “Thanks” Tolu handed him a five hundred naira note and called Titi again. They spoke happily as two best friends.
That day, Titi failed in seducing Kolawale but she wasn’t going to give up just yet. For a man, sex is not a great part of love. Sexual satisfaction for a man is different from having feelings for lady. A man can have coitus with you and have no single feelings for you and won’t even attach any importance to it. Most times, men who truly love and respect their women still have sex outside but always made sure their women don’t have knowledge of it as they believe that the women they loves must be respected.
When it comes to sex and relationship, a lady shouldn’t be too obsessed with a man’s fidelity. You can have the expectations of fidelity but don’t exhaust your day regurgitating about whether he’s with another woman somewhere or not. They’re respectful cheats and irresponsible cheats, whichever your man is, don’t be too obsessed with a man’s fidelity. When a woman build her day, night and time around a man’s trust, her happiness will be limited to the man’s irresponsibility.
It was on a Saturday night, Tolu had gone home to visit her parents. It was Titi and Kolawale that took her to the park on Friday afternoon after her last lectures. That Saturday night, Titi had gone to Kolawale’s house around 10pm in the night. Immediately he opened the door to questioned her, she pushed herself inside.
“What are you doing here by this time” he asked. She ignored him, she walked towards the other side of the room and turned on the light. She was wearing something that was almost nothing. Kolawale had the habit of sleeping with nothing except boxer. The light was on and the entire room was illuminated without saying much, Titi unhooked her cropped top that hung on her neck with the help of a thin rope. The top fell to the ground and her breasts starred at Kolawale. He was
