Soon, I was far above the roof of the building, seeing the roof of our house; it was dark outside as I travelled in the air at an incredible speed through streets and buildings. I saw colours I never knew existed floating beside me; they were so vivid I could practically touch them. I was a troubled and neglected child back here; Heaven was the golden child, the apple of my mother's eyes, the one that will do great things but she loved me for who I am.
While outside my body, I was at peace, free like a bird, all my troubles gone. I was supposed to be scared, afraid but I wasn't; instead for the first time, I felt truly alive. I could do whatever I wanted and go wherever I wanted. Time seems not to matter anymore for it was like sand on the beach. After what felt like forever, I soon found myself at the entrance of a classroom.Surprised, and puzzled; I reluctantly walked in to discover it was my classroom in SS3. It was now in ruins, the ceiling falling dowThe lights flashed from a brilliant blue-green one second, then to a stunning neon yellow the next. The sweet, pungent scent of women's expensive perfume mixed with the spicy smell of brandy, created a stimulating aroma that lingered in the air.Oversized, plush leather chairs were seated in sets of four, each surrounding a round glass table, scattered around the club. Beside each round table stood a beautiful waitress, wearing a stunning black - short and body-hugging gown with matching high heels; that showed their shaking buttocks as they cat-walked to take orders.A bar span from one end of the large hall to the other. Its countertop is made of black granite and tempered glass, shining and spotless. Behind the counter were about three to four barmen, dressed in pink long sleeves and black waistcoats.They occasionally took a bottle of wine from the illuminated shelves made of glass, sustaining several dozens of wine bottles behind them and
That Friday, five years ago has been the best day of her life till recently. Now she wishes she never entered that library, where she met that heartbreaker; but she recalls pushing open the heavy swing door and went into a large hall with a tiled chessboard floor.About forty to fifty shelves of neatly arranged books fanned out from the central reception area. Behind the shelves were comfortable leather armchairs and large barricaded tables for quiet studies arranged in rows.The cold and hushed atmosphere was occasionally punctured by laughers and loud whispers. The entire hall smells of old books and bleach.Row after row of neatly lined books with their spines facing outward, colour-coded with dots, fiction section arranged in alphabetical order. She scanned slowly until her eyes met Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's "Half of a yellow sun". She took it out, and then went behind in search of a place to sit and devour the book.She walke
Judith closed her book, paying undivided attention to him as he went on about he believes and ideas. Everything about him fascinated her; his voice was like music, soft and whispery. He talked slowly, and every detail of his story seemed to come alive as he spoke, his hands moving to embellish his words. That moment felt right, and she found herself thinking maybe their stars really aligned and this could be destiny.After about an hour into the entertaining and amusing conversation, Tony excused himself, saying he was going for a fellowship somewhere on campus. He stood up, told her he enjoyed their conversation and left after saying goodbye.She tried returning to the novel but couldn't concentrate; the thoughts of Tony clouded her mind. How could he leave just like that? Leave without asking for her contact? Could he have forgotten? If she had made him go crazy as he claimed, how will he leave without her number or means of contact?Deciding
Judith got to the library some minutes to 9 AM that Monday morning. This time very sure she was smoking hot and sexy. After collecting the same novel, she walked confidently back to the same desk with more eyes on her.Tony wasn't yet in the library, so she began reading the book while patiently waiting for him. She had dreamt of this day for the past three nights and thought of nothing else but to her great disappointment, he never showed up.Angry and feeling foolish, she left for her hostel to meet her roommate cooking. Immediately Maryjane saw the anguish written all over her face, she knew everything wasn't right."What did he do to you?" Maryjane asked."Nothing""What did he say?""Nothing""Then why are you like a recent widow?""He didn't show up!" she replied already boiling with fresh anger."Oh, I didn't see that coming. That must hurt" sympathy evident on
After about two months of getting to know each other, constant chatting, long phone calls, romantic texts, and hand-holding while walking, seeing each other every day out in the open, tight embraces with long goodbyes. He asked her over to his hostel. Without thinking about it, she agreed and it was a date.Some minutes past 5 PM that very day, Judith highlighted out of a taxi, her black hair falling over her shoulders, wearing a red dinner gown. A gift from Julie, her crazy aunty who believes life is short and you get to live once; so better make it count. She hasn't worn the gown before for she felt it was too short and body-gripping, revealing all her curves. But today she is willing to be loosed and nothing is going to hold her back not even virtues or her mother's advice.She looked up at a rock-textured sign saying "Red Pepper Lounge" in bold red letters with a pepper serving as a full stop. It was a two-story building with rails, built like a school. S
It was now some minutes past 9 PM. The window was a bit open and she stared out of it. The night was black and wet, a growing wind whistled through the trees. The rush of the wind rattled the branches of the tree and whistled around the corners of the house.Judith stood under the shower as the cold water rushed through her body, relaxing her nerves and calming her spirit. Thinking how wonderful the date has been, with dear Tony treating her like royalty. They just concluded a romantic and delicious dinner; and he has been amusing, making her laugh really hard.Done bathing, she wore just her panties and an oversized long sleeve of his and joined him in bed. She rested her head on his shoulders while he placed his right hand over her shoulders with both of their backs against the wall; together they began watching a romantic movie.About twenty minutes into the movie, she could barely concentrate. All her thought was about him, she wants him, w
She felt his hands moving up and down her legs and stomach. She gasped as she felt him place feather-light touches on the insides of her legs. He smiled into the kiss when she did that. She trailed her fingers down his chest and finally let one rest on his upper thigh.He ended the kiss and trailed warm soft kisses down her neck till he got to her breasts.He took one in his tongue, inter-switching between brushing his tongue and sucked softly. She couldn't help but squirm at the foreign, but pleasurable feeling. He looked up at his lover and saw her lost in delight. He took her other nipple between his fingers, tweaking it hard and she backed her hips feeling his hard rod brushing her bare skin. This only elicited more moans from her. Surprising even herself, she growled and wrapped her legs and arms around his warm body, silently begging for more.Moving on, he kissed his way down to her belly button and her body became tense with pleasure. Soft beards, sm
After a long hiss of frustration, tiredly she raised her head up to see a familiar face smiling down at her. He had a black eye and lips a little swollen. A few seconds after, it was clear to her that it is the young man that fought and defeated the bully. She forced a smile at him, already wondering what he is doing beside her."My friend over there" he pointed at one corner of the club; she looked but found no one of interest. He continued "Told me you are looking for mister right".Despite just re-experiencing what transpired between her and Tony – The heartbreaker, she snorted a laugh. He kept staring at her, expecting her to respond, not to keep the club champion waiting, wearily she asked "Is that your best pick-up line? Common, try and surprise me?"Accepting the challenge with a weak smile, he said "Please, empty your pocket… I think you stole my heart".Smiling she replied "That was new, am hearing it for the
