4pm came and went. I did not see Oluchi. I paced impatiently in my room. “This girl should not disappoint me o.”
I was alone in the room, and
the lodge as a whole. Diran had announced earlier that he was accompanying the
female corper, Felicia, to a prayer meeting. Felicia was the spirikoko type and Diran, who I noticed
liked her a lot, had been doing the most to impress her. I hoped Oluchi would
not allow this golden opportunity waste.
Finally, at 5pm, I heard a
knock on the outer door of the lodge. I rushed out to answer it, moving faster
than Usain Bolt.
I was happy to see that it
was Oluchi. She looked as delicious as a vanilla cupcake and I could not wait
to devour her. I led her into the room.
“You came late o,” I admonished
playfully. “Look at the time.”
“I was answering message for
my mother,” she responded by way of apology. Then without wasting time. “The
money you promised me nko?”
“Relax now, shebi I am the one that promised I will
give you. I will give you na.”
“Ah… no o, Corper… give me
first. Let me see it.”
Na
wa for this kind girl o. Eyes just dey chuk anyhow.
I brought out my wallet, took
out 2 five hundred naira notes and gave them to her, hoping she would not
complain it was small, the way the girl liked money.
I was relieved when she
smiled and put it in the back pocket of her jeans.
It was my turn to be in a hurry.
I tugged at her blouse and made to pull it off.
“Sir, wait let me pull it by
myself,” she stopped me. “You too, pull your clothes.”
We both took off our clothes.
My hungry eyes drank her in when she was done. Omo, see freshness! I could wait no more. I rushed at her and
lifted her to the bed, locking my lips with her in a kiss as I did. But just as
her back touched the bed, the door burst open.
I was shocked. I had
definitely locked the door after letting Oluchi in. But even more shocking was
the fact that it was not Diran standing there, but two strange figures I did
not recognize. They came into the room and I shot out of the bed. They were
both guys, rugged, mean-looking guys… the type that spend a lot of time on
farms and have the muscles to show for it.
“Who are you people? What do
you want?”
A hot slap greeted me and
sent me back to the bed.
“Mr. Corper. So you call my
girlfriend come your room, so that you go sleep with am abi? Your own don done today.”
I tried to get up again,
another slap met me.
“Come on, lie down there. Shebi you wan’ sleep with am, oya dey do am now.”
The second man brought out a
phone and began to take pictures of Oluchi and I in our naked glory.
“We go send these pictures
to your principal tomorrow morning, so everyone will know how useless you are,”
he informed me.
I immediately began
pleading, asking them to forgive me, I would never do such again. I would not
even look in the direction of Oluchi again.
“See as you dey beg like mumu. Useless boy. Ehn,
if you no want make we send am to your principal, you go drop fifty tazan.”
My jaw dropped. “Fifty wetin?”
“Fifty taaazan naira, abi you no dey
hear English?”
I started begging again.
Where did they want me to get that kind of money from? Poor corps member like
me?
“Bros, I swear, as I dey so, na only two thousand naira
remain for my hand.”
“Which kind rubbish be that
one wey you dey talk,” the one who had said Oluchi was his girlfriend shouted. “You
no dey collect allawee?”
“Na 2k I get for house. Even
for my account sef, I no get pass 15k.
Abeg manage the 2k, help me delete those pics.”
They collected the two
thousand naira I had left in my wallet then shocked me by saying, “We go follow
you go ATM, go collect the remaining fifteen tazan wey you get for
there.”
I could not complain. I
dressed up and so did Oluchi. They were about to ‘obtain’ me of all I had for
the month. How was I going to survive? I threw a bitter look in Oluchi’s direction.
There was no doubt in my mind that she had set me up. I cursed the lust that
had pushed me to talk to her in the first place.
That was how the men whisked
us away in the okadas they had come
with. Oluchi joined her boyfriend and I joined the other. We drove to the
nearest ATM, which was in town, a good forty minutes’ drive from the villa,
even with the bikes.
When we got there, there was
a queue at the machine. The men were not comfortable with this and asked that
we go to another one. We went from machine to machine till they found the one
that was not crowded and was paying.
I withdrew all the money in
my account, but not quite the total of fifteen thousand as I could not withdraw
to zero balance. The men made sure I showed them the account balance on the screen
to ascertain I didn’t have more left. They took the money from me, jumped onto
the bikes along with Oluchi and zoomed off without another word, leaving me
stranded there with only twenty naira on me.
I almost burst into tears at
that moment, but had to man up.
That was how I turned to a
beggar at the ATM point, telling people that came to withdraw that I was a
corper and stranded, and needed 500 hundred naira to get myself back to the
village I was serving at.
Many of them ignored me.
Luckily for me, two female
corpers came to use the machine and, even though they did not know me, they
gave me N1000. By then it was already 7.45pm.
By the time I got back to
the villa, it was 9.15pm.
I entered the lodge, ignored
Diran’s questions on where I had been, and just crawled into bed to mourn my
loss quietly.
A full hour passed before I
remembered I was supposed to visit Amaka, and by then, it was too late to do
anything about it.
Amaka stomped to my desk the
next morning and told me she wanted to see me outside for a minute, her eyes
shooting flames of fury.
“Corper Sean, you should
have just told me you don’t want to come yesterday instead of disappointing me
like that. I was just waiting and waiting for you like a mumu. Is it fair?”
I tried to think up
something to make her feel better, but I was still so dejected over the night’s
ordeal, my brain refused to function.
My blank silence infuriated
her more. “You. Don’t worry, I will show you in this school!” she snapped her
fingers at me and stomped away.
I went back to my desk
slowly, wondering how I would get myself out of all the mess. My nude pictures
were still with those blackmailers and now a threat from Amaka… things were
really getting out of control.
