Episode 20
ONE WEEK LATER.
Kelvin was still himself, i had initially thought he was pretending but he proved me wrong, he has been nice and homely like he used to, from breakfast in bed to running bath water for me, it was just heavenly, he was my defination of the perfect gentleman.
I wasted no time in forgiving him for all the times he treated me badly.
âBaby ainât you done with bathingâ he called me from the room.
âJust a minute more, i need my beauty bathâ i replied and i heard him laughing
We were getting ready for a top politicianâs son birthday party.
I knew he would be getting dressed and i didnât want to come out half unclad before our homornes gets the better part of us.
âAre you done dressing upâ i asked from the bathroom.
âAlmost ready, just this tie and am good to goâ he replied.
I showed up in the room a moment later and met him battling with his tie, i laughed because he wasnât a big fan of tuxedoâs, he only wore them on very special occassions.
âyou really look good in that black tuxedoâ i complimented him and he turned to me and gave me a seductive wink.
âyou also look perfect in that towel but you would have looked better without itâ
âI better get dressedâ i said and went to pick the red flowing gown that he singlehandedly bought for me, i had tried it on twice and i had concluded that i wonât object to him buying me anything again cos he certainly have eyes for good things.
âand i better head to the sitting room before that party becomes an impossible tense.
I simply smiled and pointed to the door.
We walked into the party with his arms wrapped around me there were lotâs of cameras which i had gotten used to, paparazziâs were everywhere at the gate. I smiled and waved before we walked in.
The celebrant walked towards us immediately we walked in like he was waiting for us.
âWho do we have hereâ he asked immediately he got close to us.
âBirthday guy, happy birthdayâ Kelvin said.
âI wasnât talking to you, i was talking to the lady, the Nigeria Version of Naomi Campbellâ he said winking at me at the same time.
It seems that Kelvin and his friends all have a thing for winking.
I smiled at him and he stretched out his hand for a handshake and i took his hands.
I looked up at Kelvin and he wasnât smiling at all.
âI am more handsome than this guy here, we are a perfect match, you know that right?â he said and Kelvin nudged him.
âShe is my fiancee`, you better take your hands off hersâ Kelvin said without smiling.
âhey, bro stop being over-protective i was only kidding, but i must say; your eyes are really functioningâ.
We all laughed at that.
âHappy Birthday broâ Kelvin said to him and patted his back.
âthanks man but you are late though, although am not really surprised, why would you come early when you have this damsel with youâ
âcoupled with the fact that it takes a woman 10 hours to get ready for an occassion like thisâ Kelvin added.
âthatâs not a lie bro, Lizzy even takes more than thatâ Charles said
âWe are special, Happy Birthdayâ i said handing over to him the gift that Kelvin and i bought.
âwow, a beautiful lady with a pretty heart, thanks alot, left to Kelvin he would have come empty handedâ
âthanks alot for the complimentâ Kelvin replied him.
The rest of the evening was fun-filled and eventful, i met some of Kelvinâs friend and i also meet Lizzy, charles fiancee, she was a very lively person.
The guys later went to a side to discuss football while we ladies discussed the guys and their charms.
The party ended almost at midnight with ninety percent of the guys drunk like fish.
Two days later Kelvin and i were in the sitting room discussing when he brought up talk about his family which he has never done before.
âMy younger brother will be coming over two weeks from nowâ he informed me.
âIt will be nice to have a member of your family hereâ i added but he shrugged indifferently, it seems he wasnât happy about the visit.
âHe just finished his masters in Leed City University Manchester and dad said it will be nice if he comes down to Nigeria to do only God knows whatâ he said with a noticeable frown.
âAm so glad that i would finally meet one of your family memberâ
âyeahâ he said indifferently.
âSeems like you are not happy about his visitâ.
âam as happy as i can beâ he smiled and brought out his phone like he was avoiding the question.
âwhat do i need to know about him so i wonât embarass myselfâ
âthere is still two weeks for that, but for beginners his name is Sam and he is 26, he just finished his M.Sc as you already know and trust me you donât want to hear the restâ
âI think i like him alreadyâ i said and he looked at me and shrugged.
âbad for you then, am famished, whatâs for dinnerâ he replied.
âSemovita and Melon soupâ
âplease tell them to hurry up, am hungry alreadyâ
I stood up and left to the kitchen, it was clear that he doesnât want to talk about his brother.
ââ
âHey, i was just thinking about something and i thought, maybe you could tell me what you think of itâ
âwhat is it my ladyâ Kelvin replied with his eyes still glued to his laptop.
âI want to donate some money for charity works or give it to an orphanageâ
ânot a bad ideaâ he replied without looking at me. I knew he was very busy, the past week since he changed for bad to good he has been working from home and he always tells me how exhausting it was.
âI drove past an orphanage after one of my photoshoot and the state of the building was nothing to write home about, itâs bad enough to be poor but living in a dilapidated building is worse than one can imagineâ
This time around he looked at me and smiled.
âi support you, and remember, you donât need my permission to spend your own money, itâs yours and you can spend it on whatever you wantâ
phew! That wasnât the kind of answer i was expecting but atleast he talked for more than ten seconds.
âthanks for your supportâ i said.
âyou are welcome. What time is your photoshot todayâ
i looked at my wristwatch âIn about two hours time, and i think i need to start getting readyâ
âLet me also get dressed, i will drive you thereâ he said while shutting down his laptop.
âNo, donât bother, i can handle itâ i said to him.
âNo way! I wonât let my lady go out to those guys alone, thatâs like letting a hen into the midst of foxes and trust me you are not the foxâ he said to me.
âyour philosophy tutor really did a bad jobâ i said and he winked without saying a word as he was heading to his wardrobe.
The ride to the location wasnât bad at all except for the bad roads leading there every other thing was perfect and the more perfect thing was the hot male homo sapien that was sitting next to me with his toned body and Abs clearly outlined in his red T-shirt.
âwe are finally there, seems you are lateâ
I looked up to see that the cameraâs and every other things were all positioned and it looked like everyone including Dency had arrived as i spotted her car in a distance.
âyou know we donât have all the time in theâŠâ the director started scolding me immediately he set eyes on me but he stopped midway when he saw my company.
âGood day Sirâ the older man said to Kelvin.
âsorry about her lateness, i caused itâ Kelvin said.
âShe wasnât even late, we just got hereâ he said and the other crew members started mummuring.
âam Jessy, letâs go get you ready for the photoshootâ a lady probably in her mid thirties said to me and i followed her as she lead the way leaving the blabbing director with Kelvin.
I got to the space that has been designated for dressing and i met Dency and the other two male models who later introduced themselves as Gabe and Nathan.
âwow, this girl is glowingâ Dency said when she saw me.
ânot more than youâ i said and we hugged and i greeted everyone else there.
âGirl, whatâs the secretâ Dency said immediately i settled down.
âGood food and moneyâ i replied her and she twitched her lips.
âit obviously isnât any of thatâ she replied.
âwell, if it isnât that two then itâs my boyfriendâ
âtell me something, does he sell any sell or produce any skin-glow product?â she asked sarcastically.
âGo get a boyfriend pleaseâ i said in an amusing tone.
âNah, not until i am ready for marriageâ
âwhy is thatâ
âas the saying goes, prevention is better than cure, and since i donât support pre marital s-x, it would be better to stay clear from guys especially the hot ones until i am ready to settle downâ
âthere are many ways to avoid pregnancy, if that is want you are scared of, we have contraceptive, sheaths, diaphragm and the rest of themâ i explained to her attracting otherâs people attention to our conversation.
âyou donât get it, am quite religious, I try as much as possible to follow God and do what my Bible tells meâ
I felt guilty remembering that while growing up every adult have always taught me about the dangers of pre-marital s-x.
âTime for the dressâ Lizzy said holding up a white floral gown for us both and interrupting my thoughts. It was a Lifestyle magazine photoshoot, we had earlier been interviewed and lotâs of question were asked, from our workout routine to our diet.
The magazine was supposed to help people take better care of their body and get rid of excess belly fat.
We were soon clad in the gown and ready for the photoshoot.
âMehn, that was hotâ Kelvin said immediately he got behind the wheels.
âhot as in good hot or bad hotâ
âgood hot, you girls looked heavenly in those gowns, i couldnât resist taking some pictures of my ownâ
Just then my phone rang and it was Vivian, she kept on crying and i could only make out âsee you tomorrow by 5 at oliveâs gardenâ and also âdonât say anything about this phone call to Kelvinâ before she cut the call.
My mind began wandering, what could make Vivian cry like that? oh no! I just hope she hasnât lost the pregnancy.
