Saved By Sin

Episode 13

“No, you can’t come in” Gabriel said still keeping his strong and angry face. “Please” she begged with tears almost falling off her eyes, “No, you can’t come in” he remained adamant. “I beg you” she said as she slowly went on her knees. The expression on Gabriel face showed he was surprised and shocked. “Please get up” he said with pity and he opened the door wide for her to come in. She walked in slowly with her hands folded across her b—-t. “Sit down” he gave her a chair, “Thank you” she appreciated as she sat down on the chair and he also sat on another. “So, why are you here?” he asked, “To apologize” she said staring at a book on the table, “See, I am really sorry, am really sorry for all I made you pass through and for extorting money from you” She said and paused a bit to see Gabriel’s expression. “Please forgive me” she made to kneel down again, “Can you stop doing that?” he asked, “Stop kneeling down” he said, “I won’t get up until you forgive me” Queen said as she finally knelt down. Gabriel kept quiet for a while staring at her and she also staring at him. At a point he almost smiled but tried his best to hide it. “Okay, get up, I have forgiven you” he said with a blur smile. She got up slowly and sat on the chair, “Thank you” She tried not to smile. “Hey stop hiding it, smile” he laughed and she laughed back. She deep her hand into her bag and brought out some naira notes, “Take” she handed it to him, “What is that?” He asked her. “The five thousand naira I took from you” She said looking at the table, trying to avoid his gaze. “I don’t need it anymore, I have forgiven you, and I don’t need the money” he said, “why did you do that? Or better put, why are you this way?” he asked her, she first stared at him and finally bursted into tears. “Hey, did I make you cry?” he asked, she shook her head negatively. “No, you didn’t make me cry” she said. “I know how I am, I know I am wayward and I am not happy with the way I am but that’s was the way I was brought up” she said, “I grew up without a father, my father left us because my mother was a prostitute. I grew up knowing my mom with different men and I later grew up following her ways. At a very young age, I started sleeping with guys for money, I became in love with the things of the world and I know that kind of life as the perfect time of life” She cried. “It is okay” Gabriel consoled, “Don’t tell me it is okay, i am just twenty years old and at my age, I can’t count the number of guys I have slept with, I lose count about a long time ago” She said and laughed, a pitiful laugh. “I know I am now useless, very useless than useless” She said. “Sister, you aren’t useless, all you did was not your fault, it was the way you were brought up but nevertheless, you have to do away with those things” Gabriel said and she nodded slightly, “I know, I can’t continue living like this” She said, “I will try my possible best to stop” She added. “Hope you now believe I didn’t sleep with you?” Gabriel asked with a kind of angry expression, “Hey, I know, am really sorry for that day” she smiled as she got up and walked towards his side of the table, he shifted back in shock. “Hey, I am not going to sleep with you, I want to check out how badly they injured you” she smiled as she placed her hand on his head and took a long stare at him, “Am sorry” She said. “It is okay” he smiled and she walked towards the kitchen, “What are you doing?” he asked. “You look like you haven’t eaten, I want to fix up something for you to eat” She said, “I can’t stop you, I am d–n hungry” he laughed and she laughed too.

It has been a day now since she saw Gabriel and she can’t just stop smiling, he was a perfect guy, a cool guy and very funny guy. She was trying to read her book for the first time in the semester but she couldn’t, she would occasionally put her pen in her mouth and look up to the ceiling and laugh.

She remembered the kind of eyes he had given her when she attempted to feed him because of his injured hand. She remembered the sweet words he had said as he tasted her food. He was a good guy and she was really sorry for all she had caused him. “Why are you smiling?” her friends would occasionally ask her but they got no answer. She finally covered her book and took her phone to call him, just then his call came in. “Hello Queen” he said calmly as she picked the call, “Gabi, how are you?” she asked smiling, “Am fine, Queen it is Friday, why don’t we take a stroll round UNIBEN together” he suggested and she laughed, “Of course, that is not a bad idea, where should I pick you up?” she asked laughing, “I am coming to hall two park now, I will be there in twenty minutes, get prepared” he said and ended the call.

She dropped the phone and smiled kicking her leg into the air. “Yes!!!” she shouted and sprang up, just then her phone rang again. “He is calling me again” she laughed. She went to pick up the phone and her expression changed on seeing who the caller was. She reluctantly picked up the phone. “Hello John Femi” she said, “Hello Queen baby, today is Friday, why don’t we have a quick one tonight, I have a perfect spot for us” John laughed at the other end.

“Wait, did you just slap me because of him?” John Femi asked her angrily, “Yes I did, and if you get me more angered, I will do that again” She threatened. By now, Gabriel had already gotten up from the gutter and he was staring at them both not knowing what was going on. “Please leave here, I am not interested in my former lifestyle again, I am now a new creature” She told him and he immediately bursted into laughter, “A new creature indeed, don’t worry, when you get tired, you yourself will come back begging me for a quick one.” He laughed harder. “And as for you Mr. Man, it seems like you don’t know who you are falling in love with, she is a prostitute that sleeps about with men for money, don’t worry, you will get the confirmation when she leaves you after you have spent all your money on her” John Femi said and walked back towards his car which he had parked carelessly on the road. He got into it and drove off leaving Gabriel speechless and Queen in tears. “Hey, why are you crying? And who was that?” Gabriel asked her as John’s car went out of sight, “He is right, all he told you about me was right, you don’t deserve someone like me” she told Gabriel as she walked away from him, “And where are you going?” He asked her as she went further away from him, “Forget about me, I am too unclean for you” She told him and ran off through a corner, her tears could be heard as she ran away. “What a bad ending for a good day” Gabriel said to himself as he scratched his head and stood still for a while before walking towards the road that leads to the main gate.
Queen ran off to her hostel, she was happy none of her roommates were around that time, what a perfect time to cry. She bursted into tears immediately, uncontrollably tears. Now she realize what Karma really meant, what she had done in the pass is now coming back to hunt her, she loves Gabriel and she doesn’t want to hurt him, he is good guy and she wouldn’t want him to feel pain in anyway, she doesn’t want to hurt him in anyway but her past will surely do. Yes, she has told him about her past but she didn’t go deep into it. No guy will want a girl like her, she doesn’t deserve any guy, she was no good a girl and she herself knows it. She realizes she is already falling in love with him but is he also feeling the same way for her? Even if he is also falling in love with her, when John Femi start to disturb her like he did today, won’t he lose interest in her? Won’t she also drift back to her former way of life once John Femi starts to disturb her? Oh, the only solution to her problems now is God, it is only God that can help her.

Gabriel jumped into his bed feeling bad, it was almost an absolute good day for him but one foolish random guy has just come to spoil things for him. He would occasionally sit and lay back to the bed, he was thinking badly, he is already falling for Queen but she thinks he is too good for her, is there still anything Queen is hiding from him? Even if there is, she still loves him. He continued to think and rolling on his bed, he was looking as if he was uncomfortable.

John Femi barged into his room and started to pace about like he was looking for something. “So that girl refused my call because of that useless guy” He shouted to himself as he paced around his sitting room. “Maybe she doesn’t knows who I am” She said to himself and laughed. Just then, the door opened and his girlfriend walked in smiling, “Hey love” she greeted smiling, he immediately turned angrily towards her, his eyes were filled with anger and it was as if he was going to bounce on her. “Get out” He shouted and she staggered back in shock, “John what is it? Why should I get out?” She asked him, she was obviously also getting angry. “Get out, and if you need me to tell you officially, it is over between us” He shouted again, she immediately bursted into laughter and sat on a couch, “Tell me you are joking” She laughed, “Oh, you think I am joking bah?” he asked walking towards her, he immediately dragged her up and pushed her towards the door. “Get out!!!!” he shouted and pushed the door opened, “john what are you doing?” She asked him in fear, “Get out!!” he pushed her out finally and locked the door. “Idiot” He cursed and accompanied it with a long hiss. “Queen, if not me, no one else will get you” He said and brought out his phone from his pocket. “Hello Alika, I want you to help me torture a guy that his giving me troubles, don’t kill him, just help me torture him” John said, “Yes Capon, just give us his details” Alika said from the other end, it was then John realized he knows nothing about the guy he wants to torture, he knows nothing about Gabriel, Gabriel Eugene.

Gabriel was almost drifting to sleep when his door flung open, it was Nkechi, she was wearing a pink very short, arm less gown. Her fair laps could be visibly seen, if she should just bend a little, we might just get to see her p@anties. Gabriel wiped his face and sat up slowly on his bed, “Nkechi” he called, “How are you feeling now dear, how is your body now?” She asked him, “I am fine as you can see, fine and strong” He smiled. “Hmm, I can see that” She said and without his consent, pecked him. “Let me prepare something for you to eat” she said and walked towards the kitchen.
