In a few days, Chime had completely forgotten about Dara and his little tryst with her, becoming completely suffused in work and his wedding preparations so much so that he did not even have time to hang out with his friend Tunde like he usually did. Both friends only talked on phone and mostly their talk centred on the wedding preparation as the D-day was very close and Tunde was the best man.
It was therefore a shocker to him
when he arrived home, exactly five days after his romp with her, to find Dara
standing outside his door. He stopped in his tracks when he spotted her. “Abi
this girl na winch?” he wondered. The
he steeled himself and went over to her.
“Erm… Dami, sorry Dara, what are
you doing here?” he asked brusquely. What if Anu had come home with him, how
would he have explained this girl’s presence to her?
She looked genuinely surprised by
his question. “I came to visit you. Am I not welcome to visit you? I would have
called before coming, but I don’t have your number and you did not call me like
you said you would. I’ve really missed you and needed to see you.”
He said nothing, but quietly
opened the door and let her in. He cursed himself now for having brought her to
his house in the first place; he should have taken her to a hotel. It seemed
she did not see herself as what she was to him – a sarewagba that was beckoned for nothing but a sexual fling, which
for him was just a one-off. It was clear that she had caught feelings and
probably saw herself as his girlfriend. He needed to set things straight as
much as he hated to do that.
He sat her down in his living
room and struggled for a diplomatic way to gently open her eyes to reality. But
there really was no diplomatic way to say what he had to say. He took one look
at her face, free of make-up, yet pretty. Looking at just her face without that
banging body in view, she looked really young.
Hope this girl is not an under-age. Oh, boy…
“How old are you?” he asked,
scared of the response she would give.
“Twenty-four. Why?”
Chime let out a sigh of relief. Thank God! “Twenty-four, you are a big
girl now. So you will understand what I’m about to say to you. I have noticed
that you have begun to grow some attachment to me after what we had together a
few nights back. But I want you to understand that it was just a…. it was
nothing serious.” He began to stammer. “You ssee… erm… as you are looking at
me, I am technically a married man. I mmmean in a few days I would be married.
So there can be nothing between us…”
His voice trailed off as he
noticed her eyes were welling up with tears. “I don’t believe you. If you are
technically married, why are you living alone?”
“Because we are not like some
engaged couples who love to cohabit. I’m serious…”
“No, no... I still don’t believe it,
you just want to get rid of me. I saw the way you were acting on Saturday
morning. And that is why you never called me back. So you just wanted to have
sex with me and dump me?”
“Dara. I’m serious. I’m about to
get married; nothing can continue between us.”
“Why then didn’t you tell me that
before bringing me here that night and using me?”
This was really getting messy and
Chime was getting exasperated.
“I thought you understand how these
things work; your friend Amaka knows how it goes. Didn’t she tell you when she
brought you to that bar? It’s just a fling and I don’t expect you seeing it as
something more than that.”
“Oh, I’m just a fling to you.”
Her expression changed from tearful to angry. “You used me and dumped me and
now I am just a fling to you?”
Chime was having a headache now.
He refused to let her guilt-trip him. He had never promised her anything, so she
needed to stop acting like he had promised her undying love.
“Dara, I am sorry if you got the
wrong impression, that was never my intention. You are a really beautiful young
woman and no man would want to use and dump you. But in this situation, all I
needed was someone to keep me company for one night, just one night and nothing
more. I thought you understood. Please you need to go home, my fiancée can come
over to pay me a visit at any time…”
Dara immediately activated
tantrum mode. “I am not going anywhere,” she informed him with a wild look on
her face and all of a sudden tears burst out of her like a shower head that was
turned on full blast.
Chime sighed. He didn’t not need
any of this drama. Omo, this girl get
skoi-skoi o. Tuna, what have you gotten me into?
It was clear that his
straight-talking, honest approach was not going to work, he needed to find a
way to trick her off his back. Even if it meant telling her what she wanted to
hear. He needed to get her out of his house and find a way to keep her out. He
went over to her, held her and placated her.
“I don’t believe you are getting
married, you are just lying,” she insisted.
“Okay you’re right, I am not
getting married.” If that’s wat you want to
hear.
“So why are you lying? Why do you
just want to chase me way? Am I not beautiful enough for you? Didn’t you enjoy
being with me the other night?”
“I did, and you’re beautiful.”
“Then tell me you love me.”
That one go hard o.
“Tell me you love me nowww…”
“Okay, I love you.”
Her big clear eyes searched into
his, as though trying to find in them a validation to his statement. “Are you
sure?”
Chime sighed; it was quite tiring.
“I’m sure, Dara. But the thing is ehn,
I have had a really long day and I really need to rest. I’m sure you need to
rest too. Let me take you back to your school, then later in the day tomorrow,
we can have a date somewhere and talk.”
“But I don’t want to go. I want
to spend the night here with you.”
“Don’t you have lectures tomorrow
morning? Staying here would mean you being late for lectures.”
“No, I don’t have lectures in the
morning tomorrow. And don’t worry about my lectures. Let me stay with you,
besides you just said you are tired, so how can you start driving all the way
to my school when you are tired. You can drop me off tomorrow morning on your
way to work.”
Chime couldn’t allow stay. Even though
there was very little chance of Anu visiting tonight as it was already late and
unlike her to come over without having informed him beforehand, he knew it was
dangerous to allow the girl spend yet another night in his house. But short of
physically throwing her out, which would be very callous and ungentlemanly of
him, there was no way to get her out. He reluctantly decided to let her spend
the night, but first thing the next morning, he would return her back to school
and find a way to permanently keep her out of his life.
One thing he was sure of was that
he wasn’t going to lay a finger on her, he would not cheat on Anu with her one
more time.
He let her have the bedroom and went
to sleep in the room he used as a guest room. But he was barely there for ten
minutes when he heard a knock on the door.
“What do you want?” he called out
impatiently.
A muffled reply came back, and he
could barely make out the words of it. So he stood and went to the door to see
what she wanted. He opened it to see her standing there completely naked;
cold-hardened nipples pointing at him.
He didn’t know how it happened;
the next thing he knew he was on the guest room bed with Dara, naked too, and
giving it to her hot-hot while she
moaned uninhibitedly beneath him…
Chime was awash with regret the
moment they were done. He could not believe he had cheated on his fiancée again,
against his resolve to make the other night his last. What was more, he had
done it this time without a condom. What if the girl came back to him tomorrow
to say she was pregnant? He had to put a stop to it once and for all, before things
got even messier. He couldn’t let her continue emotionally blackmailing him
into having sex with her.
Early the next morning he woke
her up, asked her to get prepared and drove her back to school. He branched at
a pharmacy on the way and bought Postinor 2 and a bottle of water. Back in the
car, he gave it to her and asked to take it.
“Why?”
“We had unprotected sex last
night, I am sure you don’t want to get pregnant while still school,” Chime responded
impatiently.
She shrugged as though to say
there was no big deal in that, then said. “I will take it only on one
condition.”
“What?”
“You’re going to give me your
number. SO if I don’t hear from you like the other time, I can easily reach you
whenever I want to on the phone.”
Chime sighed inwardly. “Fine.” He
gave her what he liked to call his ‘decoy number’. It was the one he had set up
some time back for his WhatsApp runs with chicks he did not want getting too
close. The number was due for abandonment soon, anyway. She saved the number,
dialed it to be sure he wasn’t giving her a nonexistent number, then took the
pill.
Back at the office as soon as he
could grab some time off work, Chime put a call through to Tunde.
“Tuna, I’m in big shit. That sarewagba you arranged for me the other
night is one hell of a crazy chick, and she wants to turn herself to my girlfriend
by fire by force.” He then launched into the narration of all that had
transpired between Dara and him, right from the moment he took her home the
first night, to this morning when he dropped her off at school.
“Na wa o,” even Tunde was amazed
at the girl’s actions. “She don see
fine, made dude, she wan come gum for
there. Don’t worry sha, I will call
Amaka and ask her to give her a good talking to.”
“Oh boy, this girl? Amaka talking
to her would have no effect. Someone I told I am about to get married but
completely refused to take it into her skull? Please, I need to do something
critical to get her off my back. This is getting too risky.”
“Okay, okay… here is another
thing we can do. Since she has known your house and has decided to be showing
up uninvited, you will have to abandon your house for some time and act like
you have moved…”
Chime felt that was a good idea.
“See ehn, Tuna, I will move, not even
act like I have moved. I don’t mind that I still have four months’ rent in that
place. Because, ehn, the way this thing is going, this girl will end up
creating trouble between Anu and I. I will move in with you and start searching
for another place immediately.”
True to his words, first thing
the next morning, Chime packed up two bags with all his essentials and moved in
with Tunde. He also began searching for a new apartment in earnest. Then he put
a call through to Anu to let her know he had moved out of his apartment to
Tunde’s, and was currently searching for a new place.
“Why?” she questioned like he had
expected her to.
“I was robbed last night, my
dear. It was God that saved me, those people would have killed me. They were
very angry that they couldn’t get anything from me, because I hid my phones and
laptop the moment I heard them robbing my neighbor, so they really roughened me
up and promised me that the next time they come visiting, I better have things
ready for them or they would kill me.”
“Jesus!” Anu swallowed his lie
completely. “Hope you are not injured though. I will come over to Tunde’s place
right after work today to see you.”
“Okay, but please don’t go back
to that place for anything. No one knows when they will strike again. Once I
get a new place, I will send movers there to move my property. I don’t plan to
step my foot there again.”
When he was done with his call to
Anu, Chime congratulated himself for his ingenuity. He looked down at the phone
that held the dummy number he had given to Dara. Already he had a couple of
missed calls and a barrage of WhatsApp messages from her. He chuckled to
himself, switched off the phone and tossed it to the bottom of his traveling
bag. There was no way she would be able reach him now.
“I’m done with you and done with
you for good, Dara.”
But little did he know that that
was not the last he was going to hear from her, despite all his well laid down
plans.
