She took a deep breath in and was downcast. I
then said. “I
know you have suffered because of the decisions
we made
in the past. I cannot erase the past but by God’s
grace, I can
make your future and Junior’s better. You will
write JAMB
again, you will pa*s and you will gain admission,
junior will
go to the best schools and he will make us
proud. But you
need to keep to your word. And I will keep to
mine.” I then
hugged her then I left.
At home in my room, I was deep in thoughts. I
was
wondering if this my plight will remain secret.
Ella and I had
our wedding penned in a few months, our
families are
involved and the planning had begun. Days later,
I was in
Port Harcourt and I was kept abreast about the
progress
being made regarding Tope’s accommodation. I
was very
impressed at the development. I just wanted her
to have a
place she could call home and raise our child.
Ella noticed something different about me and I
was tired of
giving her the excuse that I was ill. I later told
her I
developed cold feet regarding our planned
wedding. That I
will be fine. I returned to Lagos after my official
a*signment
and the first place I went to was Tope’s new
apartment.
I made sure it was a far from my place to avoid
any trouble.
I got to her door and I rang the bell. She then
opened the
door.
She was looking more gorgeous than ever. She
had her hair
done, her nails, she even added little weight. She
had a
smile on and I just stood there looking at Tope….
She had a
bum shorts on, with a half top. She was
amazingly s*xy, I
just couldn’t help but stand there and look or
should I say
lust on her.
She said. “Are you going to stand there?” I said.
“Oh sorry.”
As I entered the apartment. The sitting room
was beautiful
with a touch of different shades of purple. I was
very
impressed by her choice of taste and luxury. I
knew she had
it in her… She then said. “I know you must be
hungry.” I said.
“Yes, I am starving but where is Junior?” She
said. “He’s
asleep, come let me serve you dinner.” She sat
me down on
the dining section and she served me a dish.
I opened it and what I saw took me through
memory lane. It
was rice, dodo and 3 pieces of meat. Just like
the old days. I
looked at her and she was all smiling. Flash
backs began to
usher in my thoughts, visualizing faded images in
my
memory that was once clouded. I began to fill a
little spark.
After the lovely meal, she started taking me
round her
beautiful apartment, and the last place we
stopped was her
room. It looked cozy and very calm. She then
stood before
me and said. “Remember the first night we
spent together?” I
said. “Yes I remember. How can I forget?” We
both stood
there looking at each other.
All I could see was a lady I once loved with all
my heart and
she buttressed my thoughts with a touch on my
face. Her
hand on my face felt like those times. I heard
voices in my
head. “Kiss her!!.” repeatedly.
Then I kissed her, she kissed me back and we
started kissing
aggressively. I pulled off her shirt and her Tips…
Oh my God!
… I had missed them. I haven’t been intimate
with anybody
else and my cup was more than full.

WATCH OUT FOR EPISODE… EPISODE 15
HEAT OF VIRGINITY EPISODE (16)
My mom then said to Ella. “You see
everything is fine, I told
you.” I then went to my room and Ella
followed. I had to
pretend to be happy with her to erase the
doubts she was
having, so we played board games and
watched TV. When it
was dark I dropped her off and came back
home. I was
going to my room and my mom called me.
She said. “I gave
birth to you, I nurtured you, I took you to
the best schools in
the country. I made you you got the best
job a graduate can
have. I have always looked out for your
interest. I am your
mother and I have been good to you since
the day you were
born. Now adeoluwa , tell me the truth.
What is going on?”
At that moment I knew I couldn’t keep it
within me. I told me
mom. I told her everything that happened.
She then said. “I
am totally disappointed in you. I brought you
up well, only
for you to be bewitched by that girl. I blame
your father for
making you serve in Kogi state. Now
adeoluwa , you will take
me to where you are housing them.”
I sad. “Now? It’s late mom.”
She said. “Now Adeoluwa . And who else
knows about this? ”
I said. “Nobody just us.”
She then said. “It is going to remain that
way.” Her driver
then took us to Tope’s apartment. I
knocked and Tope
opened the door and said.
“Sweety, I was just …….” My mom said.
“Who is your
sweety?”
Tope was scared to her teeth and she said.
“Sorry mummy, I
didn’t see..”
My Mom said. “Don’t call me mummy. Your
mother
disowned you because of your treachery.”
We all stepped into the apartment. My mom
then said. “Do
you know who I am?”
Tope said. “No ma”
My mom sad. “I am a Judge in Lagos. I can
make life very
complicated for you if you try to destroy
what I have spent
almost all the years of my life to build.”
Next thing Junior walked into the sitting
room and cried out.
“Mummy, Mummy …” He stood still as he
saw the crowd.
My mom saw him and said. “Oh my God,
Adeoluwa !!” As she
held my hand tight. There was silence for a
minute. Then my
mom said. “The deed has been done, but if
you truly love
my son you will have to let him go. I was
very angry but now
I don’t have to show it because of him. He
is innocent and
does not have to suffer from your
recklessness. I will make
arrangements for you 2 to relocate to the
UK. That is were
you will spend the rest of your lives. You
will have to get
your educational documents and necessary
documents for
that effect. Tomorrow, you will leave for
Abuja and you both
will stay there till your visas are ready.”
Tope was just sobbing and didn’t utter a
word. My mom then
said. “My personal assistant will come
tomorrow morning to
facilitate the arrangements. This is the best
I can do not for
you, but for him Adeoluwa you have 2
minutes, I will be
waiting in the car.”
She left for the car and I stood there
looking at Tope. I then
said. “I fought for us Tope and now see
what it has led? I
don’t think I will ever see you again. Good
bye Tope.” I then
looked at Junior, I carried him one last
time,kissed his cheek
andt blessed him. I dropped him down and
headed to the
car.
We got home and no word was uttered
between my mom
and I.
The following morning I went to work and
resumed my my
life the way it was before I went to see
Tope at Kogi. I knew I
would learn to love Ella But I can’t love her
the way I loved
Tope. But I later came to understand that
what transpired
between Tope and I was lust, lust was the
basis of our
friendship and what reshaped our destinies.
Love builds but
lust destroys.
Tope lives happily in London, she got
enrolled in the
university and she’s almost done. Junior is
almost done with
his primary education, he loves football and
likes to play
drums. Ella and I are happily married and
we have a
daughter, she’s 2 years and she looks a
whole lot like my
mom. Tope and I still communicate once in
a while. She still
vows to wait for me no matter how long it
takes. I know what
happened was a mistake and it still remains
a secret but for
how long?
