Must read: Jide part 4

She was tall, shorter than Shola, she was plum, big bosoms… are eyes were small, so was the nose… She was beautiful.

“….Please do fasten your seat belts” the dark skinned cabin crew proclaimed as we approached the airport.. I looked through to the window again, and was looking at the beautiful environment.. You sure will know you’re not in Nigeria anymore.. It was around 9pm Nigerian time, Lola as I got to know her later, was scared of landings, so as we approached the airport, she just held my hand very hard, I wasn’t expecting it so I shivered at first…”…Sorry, I can’t get over landings, she said..” as we touched down, she lifted her face up like she was approaching an orgasm.. I just smiled…. We landed, and on our way out of the plane, she thanked me, and introduced herself as Lola! It’s nothing, I said, as we walked out of the plane and through the jet way…… she was at my front as we walked so she got outside before I did… She was walking slowly so I was able to meet her pace, She gently asked why I was so emotional, I told her it was nothing… I was probably just missing Nigeria… she giggled as I said that, and I smiled. She then asked what I came to do in S.A…. ***To be honest, if you see me, sometimes, I look old enough to say I’m a bank manager…. I’m tall, athletic body build, light complexioned, and little strings of beards with my red lips*** “I’m resuming school” I told her, she said “Wow” wondering how someone like me would just be resuming school…..

I didn’t want to continue the conversation with Lola, it was quite obvious as I didn’t flow with her as we walked on…. I just wanted to be alone for now…. I picked up my phone and called Shola…. “Switched off” I tried again and again for up to 10 times, it was the same thing.. I became worried so I called my mum straight, after all, I left them together… My mum’s phone rang about 3 times before she finally picked it…

Mum: “Hello… Jide… How was your journey, we were just planning on calling”

Me: “We?…. anyway my journey was fun… I’m still trying to find my way though..”

Mum: “Oh I see.. Your dad is saying HI… they put the phone on speaker, as they echoed….”WE love you” now this got me smiling…. and got Lola wondering………..

Me: “What about my friend?” I asked….

Mum: “She’s okay, though she was very moody as we left the airport…. She’s really a good friend and its obvious she cares about you a lot”

Me: I know right! ***Little did she know that my sperms were probably wondering about her womb by now***

***I ended the call as I didn’t want to expatiate the matter, before my mouth starts running..***

I was out of the airport, so I tried Shola again, and this time she picked it up immediately..

Me: Hey baby!

Shola: Hi my love….. how was it?

Me: It was cool, boring and emotional… I couldn’t say a word to anyone….

Shola: Boy, don’t be too moody, you’ve to be strong… for me……. for our child…..

Me: ***I almost fainted as I heard those words, she has finally ruined me*** For What? Why would you do that Shola, for what reason? How do you want us to cope, who’s going to take care of the child when you’re in school….

Shola: God will take control!

***I was just dumbfounded because I didn’t know what control God will really love to take this our situation… He didn’t say we should bang at first, in fact… that’s a sin… He didn’t even say we shouldn’t use protection, if at all we would prove stubborn… So What control Exactly?***

Me: Okay, I need to go now… Talk later

***We hung up***

I had lost contact with Shola at the airport, cos I left her side as my call was been escalated…. I was about calling a cab when someone tapped my back….those hands were soft, tender and sweet… It was her…. Lola…

Where have you been, I asked…. What do you mean where have I been? You left me there, if I could remember…. she hissed slightly…. Probably, I was irritating her already… I asked her were she was headed and what did she come to do in S.A sef… “I thought you were never going to ask, you weirdo.” ***At the state I was, I could just walk away…. What was she thinking? She then interrupted my disgust look at her… ” “I’m a lawyer…. Just called into the bar… came for shopping and then I’m back in Nigeria, to the bar……

I told her I had to go, me I’m just entering school, so that gap is large as an elephant.. She probably thought I was in my final year or something…. She gave me a note containing her phone number and her hotel room…….

**Lola was going to be in S.A for a maximum of two weeks, so I didn’t even see anything happening between us, firstly, it was too early, secondly, that two weeks wouldn’t even be enough for me to settle down in my new school… **

We parted ways as I took a cab headed for my school…

Everything was practically straightforward as I got into school. It was very dark, so all the processes I took that night was “Temporary”…

A week passed, I was allocated into a room of tremendous boys, who almost brought everything to an end…. Even my life.. School was getting fun gradually as I made new friends through friends and friends… I got to know my course mates gradually… as time went on… I was getting wild, Shola was fading from my memory gradually… We talked on phone at least 4 times every week, and chat for at least 18 hours…. This wasn’t going to last too long cos of the time differences..

I remembered Lola, as I wore the same trouser I wore when I arrived, her note had been in my pocket….. lol this girl!

I called her immediately…

Me: Hello sweet….

Lola: Helloee, sorry who’s on the line….

Me: Jide.. the airport..

Lola: Oh really, you called…. I thought it was never going to happen anyway…. where are you?

Me: I’m in school, going for my lectures…

Lola: Okay, you know I would soon be going back sha….

***Ehn, if you’re going back, why elongating the “sha”?
