After The Wedding ( 4 ) my destiny

on


A powerful wave swept onshore, spraying cold sea water at their feet. That brought them back to reality and they broke apart.

Tare touched her lips, that still had the imprint of his kiss, with her finger, then gazed up at him.

"Why?" There was a look of wonder, surprise and growing excitement on her face.

He smiled. " What does it look like? " Taking her hand, he led her to a dry spot on the beach, under
some coconut trees.

They sat down and he began to speak; how he had been attracted to her right from when they first met but "I had to resist because of Ini."

 "So, why now? "

 He cupped her face in his hands.  " Because I couldn't fight It anymore! You're just too irresistible, Tare! " And he kissed her again. She wound her arms round his neck, a euphoric feeling washing over her.

What she had longed for, dreamed about all this while was finally happening and she could not be happier.

Later, something occurred to her.

"What about Ini? "

He hugged her close to him.  "I'll take care of it. Don't worry about it, my darling. "




Three  months later,  Eddy proposed to her. Tare, surprised and overjoyed, happily accepted and immediately began planning their future together.

"I love you,  Eddy.  I promise to be a good wife to you."

"Love you too, sweetheart.  I'll love you forever and take good care of you. You're my destiny now."

 ***

 It was a Saturday morning and Tare was busy in Eddy's kitchen preparing breakfast. She was alone in the house as he had stepped out to buy some stuff she needed in the kitchen at a nearby store.

She hummed to herself as she worked,  sometimes snapping her fingers to the song in her head.

Later that night,  they would be attending a birthday party of a friend of his.

 She was thinking about what she would wear to the bash, when she heard a knock on the door.

Thinking Eddy was back, she went to the parlour.
 A young lady stood there by the door, a suitcase by her feet.

 She was clad in the white T shirt and khaki trousers of youth corpers and she looked tired as if she had been on a long journey.

The lady eyed Tare up and down,  and pushing her aside,  stepped into the room.

 "Who are you and what are you doing in my fiancé's house so early in the morning? " she demanded crossly.

 Fiancé?  Tare looked closely at the lady.
 Ini! This must be Eddy's ex.

 What was she doing here? Eddy was supposed to have broken up with her so how come she was still coming to his house as if she owned the place, she thought.

 The front door opened and Eddy stepped in, a shopping bag in his hand.

He looked surprised at seeing Ini.

 "Oh, Ini. You're here," he said,  heading for the kitchen.
Ini followed him.

 "Eddy, who's this lady and what's she doing here?"

 Back in the living room,  he walked up to Tare, took her hand and in a calm voice, said:

 "Ini, This is Tare. She's the one I want to marry! "

 A shocked look appeared on Ini's face.

 " What?  Marry? "

 ***

She sat on the couch,  her head buried in her hands, crying quietly.

 After a while,  Eddy went up to her and patting her on the shoulder,  said:
" I'm sorry,  Ini. That things turned out this way. It wasn't planned,  it just happened. You just have to accept the situation.
Besides, you should take part of the blame for what has happened.  You were far away up North, leaving me here all by myself and..."

Ini jumped up then.

"How dare you,  Eddy? You now want to shift the blame on me? Instead of taking responsibility for your stupid actions,  you're blaming me? What did I do wrong?  Did I go to Jos to play? Or am I the Federal government that posted me faraway from home to serve the Fatherland?

"Look at you,  you should be ashamed of yourself!  The moment my back is turned,  you start jumping around with all kinds of strange women! I was hearing all kinds of rumours, about you and that bitch in the kitchen, a rich man's daughter, but I didn't believe it. I said my Eddy would never do such a thing to me. How wrong I was!

 "Five years! I gave you five years of my life and this is how you treat me? How could you do this to me, Eddy? You promised to always be there for me, to love no other woman but me. What happened to all your promises?  So, they were nothing but lies? You said we would get married once I finish my service.  I've finished and I'm back home now. It's time for you to fulfil your promise, Eddy!" She grabbed his hand and began to shake him. "You must fulfil your promise. You must, Eddy!"

 Tare walked in then, a look of irritation on her face.

 "What's all this noise about? Eddy darling, I thought you had sorted this out, ended things cleanly with her. So, why's she still here creating a scene?" Tare queried.

 Ini turned to her, hissed and said:

 "And who are you to stick your nose in this matter? Oh, you are feeling on top of the world because he chose you over me? Why did it have to be him? You could have any man you want with your looks and 'aristo' background. Why did it have to be my Eddy, my man?" she shouted. "Just because you are rich, you think you can have just about anything you desire. You rich people are the same- selfish, wicked,  greedy! Eddy was all I had, he was my world, but you took him away just because you could."

 "Look here, I know it's painful, but accept it. It's over between you. You can't force someone to be with you if he doesn't want to,  so..." Tare said.

" You!  You dare preach to me? A thief like you? You better shut up or..."Ini said, her eyes spitting fire.

 Tare, who was getting pissed off by her attitude,  said:

"And what can you do if I don't?"

 Something seemed to snap in Ini then.

 "You little bitch!" she shouted and rushing towards Tare, grabbed her by the neck and began to squeeze, all the while screaming abuse at her...


What next? Watch out for the next episode coming soon!

 And a happy and restful Sunday to you all!

When Love is not Enough (2)

His hands slipped behind my back and struggled to unhook my bra. With a swift movement born of years of practise , I undid the hooks and my boobs sprang free from its restraints. He gazed upon my nakedness for a moment before his hands began to fondle my boobs, his fingers and mouth playing magic on my body, sending sweet sensations through me. "Let's go to my room," I whispered. He looked up briefly. "You sure about this?" he asked. "Yes. I want you Dani. Can't wait any longer. Let's..." "Ama, where did you keep my ...? Oh my! What's this?" Mandy's voice penetrated into the amorous mood we were both in, breaking the spell.  I sat up reluctantly and sighed, giving Mandy a pissed look.   She had to burst in when things were really getting interesting, I thought with irritation...  Later, I saw Dani off in his car.    "Goodnight, sweetheart. Dream of me!" I said, touching...

My Boss wants me as his Baby Mama! (1)

    ***  One sees all kinds of stuff in this our city of Lagos. In my eight years of living in this big city, I thought I had seen it all. The good, the bad. The crazy and the absurd.  That was until my boss sprung a big surprise on me some time ago...  Let me tell you a little bit about my 'Oga' or boss. He's about 38 years old, a widower with a son. The boy, Michael is nine and in secondary school in the boarding house. My boss whom I will call Mr T for the sake of his privacy, is quite kind and considerate when he wants to.  That is when you do your job very well without delays or mistakes. He's very thorough and demanding and hates things done in a tacky, untidy manner. You do that and you get some serious tongue lashing from him. Besides that, he is not a bad boss, just hard working and driven.  Of average height, he has a slim compact body and a serious looking face; the only time you see Mr T crack a smile is when the co...

My Boss wants me as his Baby Mama! (3)

We had an arrangement. I would spend at least two weekends in a month at his house until I conceived.  "You can move in with me until you have the baby or remain at your place. The choice is yours," my boss said when we were working out the modalities of the 'deal' between us. The baby will be with me till it was two years old then he would take over full responsibilities for it, he added.  "You can then move on with your life; get married, travel. Whatever. I'll have no hold on you whatsoever. You'll be as free as the bird," he reassured me.   I would be well compensated for my effort, he said: a lump sum of money running into millions of naira, a house in a choice part of the city and some shares in his company.  The whole thing sounded so sterile, so emotionless like a business discussion between partners venturing into a new business venture. I wondered what I was getting myself into, whether I would be able to go through wit...

  He's Good in Bed Unlike my Husband (Finale)

Follow @Escapades007 Being with Lari was a whole new experience for me. It was my first time in such an intense relationship where my whole life seems to revolve around a man. I was truly in love, to the extent that a day without seeing my love was like torture.   Ronke , my friend and neighbour in the estate, noticing the way I felt about Lari tried to caution me. " Jummi , it's good you've got a lover. Welcome to the club! I have been telling you to get a real man who can do the 'job' since your husband is incapable," she said bluntly.   She was an expert in that, dating outside marriage. The third wife of a polygamous man, whom she hardly saw as they lived apart, she kept two boyfriends whom as she put it, 'make me happy and feel like a woman!'  "But Jummi, you have to know how to play this game. You can have a lover but the first rule is: never fall in love with him. That complicates things," she advised. "What y...
