Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 4
It was Onome! Let me tell me a lil about Onome. Onome was a professional, dirty and shameless prostitute. She goes after everything under pants.. When I say pants, I mean PANTS. Panties ranging from boxers to pants. She was bisexual that is she does both males and females. It was through Onome that I knew it was through that Edo women loves pricks. She dated our landlord,our house agent,co-tenants and street guys. She cared less if you were married or single. She would date both husbands and wives and some even hired her for 2-3sums. She was a w—e! But one thing about her, I was a thorn in her flesh. She never believed I was what I said I was, she would stalk me just to know my true identity but trust me, I was smarter. My makeups customers was hers, so was my âbenddown selectâ customer.
Onome was discussing with Shina who was sitting on a stool and surrounded by my neighbours.
âIâve met you somewhereâ she was talking to Shina in a tone Iâve never seen her used on a guy.
âI? Where was that?â
âI donât know, where are you stayingâ
âIâve been in this town.â
âOh⊠Maybe in Prosperousâ
âIâve never been thereââ Iâm new in this areaâ
âOh really, where were you staying before. Maybe it was from there we met.â
âBeen in the states but was in Lagos earlierâ This drew the attention I needed, my neighbours marvelled upon hearing Shina was from the states. I felt highlighted and earned more respect⊠Atleast as a banker dating a Londoner. I withdrew Shina from the crowd and took him in.
âYouâve got a nice apartmentâ he commented searching through my room.
âThanksâ
âYour neighbours are fun to be with especially the fair ladyâ
âBe careful of her. Sheâs dangerous.â
âSomeone here is jealous.â He rolled his eyes blushing.
âAbout who and how?â
âYou better tell me the truth. Youâre falling alreadyâŠâ
âWhat can I offer youâŠâ That was my greatest mistake, why would I ask such question when I had nothing at home, not even sachet water. I blamed myself for trying to change the topic.
âAnything would do.â
âBut⊠But⊠Iâve nothing at home right now. Just planning to get some tomorrow.â
âIs there any fast food close by?â
âCaptain cook is at Fayose.â
âLetâs go there.â Before I could say jack Robinson,he was up dragging me out.
âDo you want me to go out this way?â I asked immediately we got into the car.I was wearing a bumshot and croptop.
âI love my woman looking hot and sexy.â
âBut this is Ado not Lag or wherever.â
âI care less.âHe ignited and off we went. I was reminiscing on the â my womanâ thingy.
We got some food and Suya and ate, I wanted to ask if his car was the same I saw yesterday when his phone rang
âHelloâ
âGet the f–k off, I ainât coming home till u guys r in d right senses.â
âYou donât command me like some kids, Iâm a grown up, manâ
âI ainât in no hotels, Iâm with my womanâ I was alarmed.
âBelieve me, you ainât seeing me till I return to the states.â
âGet the f–k of my phoneâ he said and hung up.
âWho was that?â I asked silently.
âMy mumâ he replied burning with fury.
âYou mean youâre addressing your mum like that?â
âRiri, I was the one you saw in the afternoonâ he caught me off guard. I never knew he was reading my mind.
âHow? Why didnât you talk to me then?â
âI was with that witch.âhe was now on his feet angrier than ever.
â Your mum?â
âAderin, marry me.â He stressed these word looking so pale. I didnât believed my ears,weâd seen for the second time and Londoner was talking about marriage. It sounded like âAderin, maga meâ rather than marry me.
âWhat are you talking about?â I asked trying to conceal the confusion written all over my face.
âRiri, when I met you, I felt this kinda chemistry you feel while in love. You see, Iâm 31 and unmarried, Iâm in Nigeria to get a wife but my parents ainât helping me.â
âHow?â
âMarry me, weâre getting married before next month ends and going back to the states in two months.â
âIs that a command?â
âNo, Iâm being straight. I canât stoop to the level of wooing a woman. Weâre adults, matured adultsââ I am going to take care of you. I wanna use you to get back to my parentsâ
âYour parents? How?
â Riri, I knew you saw the lady in my car! She was the hoe my parents want for me. How could they expect me to marry a lady all because we promised to love and marry each other while we were young⊠Accepted I deflowered her and she aborted my baby but she is a w—e! She was going after all men in UNILAG while I was away and had several other abortions.â He was now shouting so Loud that I feared my neighbours were eavesdropping.
âYeah, I loved her but I love her no more. Riri, itâs you I wantââ youâre so decent and promising.â His last comment was a lie. I knew I was not decent, I was a corporate prostitute in UNILAG too. I was still into âashewo business till that moment even if it was codedly
I was confused, even though I had started developing feeling for Shina, I was never ready for some kind of poo.
âShina, let us take things easyâ
âThis is me, and here is you, Iâm 31 for Petesâ sake, do you expect me to start begging and wooing you like a kid?â He lied on the bed in anger and soaked under the duvet, I mean blanket. I was up for a moment thinking if my life. I was a blunt broke liar and my lying game took me nowhere. You have to lie to cover a lie. Iâd leaving a fake like since my uni days and it never paid me. Iâd lose a reasonable amount of good suitors because I could not afford to take them to my parent after bragging about being a rich kid. A good example was Victor, Victor was an IB boy, he was a rich coded yahoo guy and believed I was a banker, after gaining a substantial amount from his yahoo plus business, he decided to open an account with access bank where he believed I was working, I was able to cover up till when I couldnât and he knew I was never working in Access bank⊠I tried to cover up and that was when he asked to meet my parents, that was where kasala busted and I could not get a tangible lie to tell, I opened up and told him about my real parents, he broke up with me immediately but his words hurt more, he said he was dating me because he thought I was from a rich home and. Could not stoop too low dating the daughter of a village illiterates. He went ahead and got married to a lady close to my house. I made up my mind right then never to open up who my real parents were to any man. After all, I could rent parents.
âDo you have to think about it this much?â I heard Shina said as he pushed up into the sitting position. It sounded more like âdo you have to think about being f—-d this much?â. He drew me so close that I was afraid he would swallow me.
â I love you, Ririâ
âI want you to carry my babiesâ ânot someone who had over three known abortionsâ Truth being told, I had six abortions before I met Shina, I knew instantly I was not the best for him.
âShina, let us take things slow. I understand how youâre feeling but we shouldnât rushâ I said as I withdrew myself from him.
âOkay. Iâll give you from now till tomorrowâ
âThat is betterâ before I could blink, Shina had kissed me, and right on that spot, my body and soul was vibrating, I felt a chemistry which Iâve never felt for a guy in ages. He noticed my strange feelings and stopped.
âIâm sorry, Riri. I never meant to go far.â He begged with an embarrassment look.
âI understand..â I said laying in the bed.
âGoodnight, my womanâ he said as he laid down facing the opposite direction. I relaxed so well thinking about the kiss and Shina. I felt strange, I was scared of sex for the first time in my life.I was afraid Shina was going to wake me up in the middle of the night and forced me to sex. He was not sleeping neither, he kept tossing around till I feltasleep around 2am . I dreamt about getting married to Shina in a big way, and guess what, my parents came in the middle of the reception. I fainted on seeing them and Shina was shooking me trying to wake me up
âMy woman, wake upâ I opened my eyes just to see myself in bed and Shina standing over me fully dressed. I was disappointed, I wanted to go back and sleep, I love my dreamâŠ
âShina, are you up already?â
âYes Honey. Iâm going home right now,something came upâ he said adjusting his wristwatch.
âTo do whatâ I sprang up, deepdown, I love his company and I wanted to be with him more especially because of food.
âMum needs me, Iâll be back in a jiffyâ he pecked me n left my room. I slept a little more and decided to do some chores, I swept the room and on unlocking my door, I heard doors cracking and people coming out, I opened the door and the first person who greeted me was Sheyi.
Sheyi was my next door neighbour, he was so fake that even his hairstyle was fake, he also was a perfect ârunsboyâwho makes money from servicing old women, dear readers, Sheyi was a liar, serial cheat, womanbeater, imposter and a âyahooyahooâ he afforded a tainted black Toyota âpencillightâ Camry and to him, it was a baby, the car was his wife. He was a university dropout but lied to everyone that he was a masters student in EKSU. I did not believed him, he knew I knew he knew I never believed him, he could boast for Europe. He tried to avoid me always especially the day I caught him with our co-tenantâs wife and also our Almighty Onome, he hated me and was always doubting my lifestyle.
For the first time in 2015, he greeted meâ
âRiri, morning to youâ he approached smiling, I noticed almost everyone in the house was around that Friday morning and I knew their reason: APROKOS.
âMorning, Sheyiâ
âI fetched those two jerrycans for you when water cameâ I was surprised, everyone murmured. One thing about Sheyi, he would not do anything for you for free and if he did, youâre going to pay in a way you never expected.
A case study was when Mr. Onabisi, a former neighbour traveled to Onitsha and on his arrival, Sheyi went to pick him from the park, it was later when Mr. Onabisi sent his wife packing and later packed out of the house that we knew Sheyi was smashing Mrs. Onabisi and the day he went to pick the husband, they strafed.
Immediately, I knew he was up to something but trust me,I was smarter. âThanksâ I said
âYou are welcome.â He said grinning,âmore so, I want to see you later.â He said and left.
âAunty Riri, howâs your visitorâ it was Mama Susan who asked.
âWhich oneâ I asked. By now, all my neighbours were either leaning on the railings or standing by their doorpost and little who were matured were peeping through their windows.
Mama Susan was our street back bitter, she was married to Baba Susan, an Hausa man who was a âmekanika ejiniarinâ(mechanical engineer) like his wife would say. She was a fullhouse wife and it gave her all the time needed to pokenose into others affairs. She could open her mouth and say anything to anyone at anytime. There was an instance which happened few months back when Onome was strafing âMagic fingersâ, another internet fraudster in my street and one Mr. Hammed, a banker, Magic fingers had a girlfriend who was schooling in EKSU who was a living-in girlfriend while Mr. Hammed was married, Mama Susan told Magic fingerâs girlfriend Onomeâs escapades when they were both making hair at a salon down the street, what actually happened was that, Onome was close to Caro, Magic fingerâs girlfriend and took her as her street sister,so Caro was at the salon making hair when Onome walked in, greeted her and left, that was when mama Susan opened the can of worms, how magic fingers would sneaked into our compound, how Onome was visiting him while Caro was in school and how they would go to an hotel and straffed in his car. Caro, being a crazy Ado babe left the Salon without finishing her hair and went to ask Magic fingers if they were all true, he denied it but Caro had plans already, she offered to pay Mama Susan a substantial amount to track them down and call her anytime they were together, Mama Susan declined the money and promised to help her for free.
The d-day came and it was on a Saturday evening, Magic fingers came into our compound under the guise of coming to seeSheyi but later sneaked into Onomeâs room, trust Mama Susan, she called Caro immediately and it happenedâŠ.
âŠ.
I was sitting on the long bench outside my room that fateful night when Caro came, at first, I thought Magic fingers was in Sheyiâs not until Caro passed Sheyi door and knocked at Onomeâs door, she knocked softly that no one could smell the danger lurking around until Sheyi came outside his room.
âBabe, how far?â He said grinningâMagic fingers no dey here naâ he said smiling sheepishly.
âDo I tell you Iâm looking for Magic fingers, e donât dey house na, I wan borrow comb from Onomeâ
âOkayâ Sheyi said and knocked. âOnome, come out o, na meâ it was later we knew Sheyi knew Caroâs plan but decided to watch free match between Onomeâ Pacquiaoâ and Caro eyan mayweather.. He was seeing Onome and was jealous magic fingers enjoyed Onome more than him. Onome opened the door and before she could look up, Caro dragged her out letting her towel fell and believe me, she was stark naked, Mama Susan handed a readily prepared water and garri to Caro who bathed with it, they fought and Onome who was already naked tore Caroâs top revealing some fresh flesh, the fight was so interesting that everybody in the street including the Okada riders were all watching free p–n movie. Even though, most of them had tasted Onome, Caroâs visible upper body was the center of attraction. Caro sighted Magic fingers who was almost escaping and they started another round of argument, Magic fingers exposed his girlfriend claiming he was not in love with her again because after spending his money onher, she still drew sex timetable for him and Onome, the animashaun was there to service him.
They argued and fought for over 45minutes when we heard a shout⊠Onome ran outside in paining shouting on the top of her voice, she was followed by a man who was in boxers who ran speedily out of our compound , everyone was confused and lost, even Caro and Magic fingers had to step outside for the new episode of the seasonal movie.
A womancame out of Onomeâs room with a bucket half filled with pepper, to cut the story short, when onome saw that Magic fingers and Caro were arguing and fighting, everyone was engrossed that no one knew when Mr. Hammed, the banker entered into her room, Mama Susan on seeing her rushed to call Mrs. Hammed who hurriedly brought along a bucket of pepper anddud justice to Onome and her husband. No one knew when Caro and magic fingers left our compound and the next morning, they were together, Magic fingers drove Caro to school, I SMH,
