Narrators POV;
Later the same night, Derrick just arrived at Lisas house. As he drives in, he slows down to hand the gate man who would not stop hailing him, a thousand naira note and the gateman begins to shower him with prayers to show appreciation.
Derrick drives into the compound and parks his car in his usual spot. He is excited about the possible odds the night will bring. He sits in his parked car absently tapping his fingers to the beat of the song playing from his radio.
He begins to imagine what would happen once he steps into the house standing before him. A feel of electric current washes through his system and he comes out of his trans, giving a mischievous smile.
After turning off his cars engine, he proceeds to the entrance of the house like a star walking towards a stage for an award.
The house is very stylish. Infact, too grand to be called a house but a mansion. The compound is very spacious. It has a water fountain, garden, a parking lot with three grand cars and what not? This compound is huge enough to accommodate another mansion and still have space left in it.
Derick rings the door bell and a sweet feminine voice calls out from the inside;
"Who's there? "
"It's me" Derrick replies with a happy smile.
"You who? "The voice playfully teases and Derrick rolls his eyes.
"Lisa, we both know you know who it is" Derrick replies letting out a chuckle, and she giggles.
"Hold on a minute," she calls and after a few clicks and clacks, the door finally opens.
A young lady comes out in a bogus raincoat and this apperance is odd to say the least. As she steps aside for Derrick to come in, he can't help but question;
"Is it meant to rain today or do you guys have plumbing issues? "
However, she simply giggles in reply and totally ignores the question. Once they are seated, she changes the topic;
"What will you like to eat? "
"Ah, water will do just fine." He replies.
"Okay then, " She says with a smile before rising up and heading to the kitchen.
Once Derrick is left alone, he begins to survey the house with his eyes. The mansion is very neat and well kept 'Lisa must really work her fingers to the bone to keep this place clean' he thinks to him self.
The interior decor is mind blowing. Kinda makes the place look more like a hotel and not a house.
She returns with a tray on which lays; a glass cup containing water and a plastic cup containing dark liquid.
"Here you go, "She says with a broad smile to get his attention whilst placing the tray on the table before Derrick.
"Thank you." He replies as he grabs the cup of water. He takes a sip of the water, and gulps down the whole dark liquid after smiling at Lisa. As this mystery substance is well known to both of them. A herbal mix to help boost his performance in bed.
He closes his eyes to savour the bitter taste of the mix and the burning sensation in his chest. After a deep inhale and exhale session, he finally opens his eyes.
What he sees before him, causes his eyes widen so much so, it looks like his eye balls would fall out of their sockets anytime soon.
Lisa had unbuttoned the raincoat only to reaveal a very attractive bikini. Lisa is a very attractive, light skined, slender, tall woman in her early twenties. She has a very curved body that makes whatever she wears look good on her. She is educated, filthy rich and still lives with her parents.
Derrick is totally mesmerized at the sight and is at a loss for words so Lisa breaks the silence;
"What? " She questions with a giggle.
Derrick makes to speak but his mouth just hangs open in awe. This isn't the first time he's seeing Lisa in wearing revealing clothes, but every time, Derrick keeps feeling like it's the first.
"It seems someone likes what he sees." Lisa teases as she tries to stifle her laughter. Derrick follows her gaze and looks down at his pants, only to find the national flag at full mask. Standing tall.
He looks up at Lisa in embarrassment and she bursts into laughter before running up the long fleet of stairs and Derrick follows. He takes hold of the rain coat in an attempt to grab her, but she let's it fall off her body as she keeps running up the stairs. He throws the coat on the floor and continues his chase .
Lisa runs into her room, leaving the door slightly open for Derrick. Her room is decorated like that of a twelve year old princess. The major color and theme of the room is pink and white. From furniture, to curtains, to bed spread, to walls, doors, and even the rug! Everything is either pink or white.
Derrick walks into the room and takes off his belt, he throws it to the ground like it is something that has been standing in his way and he has finally overcome it. Next to go is his trouser which he dumps on Lisas study chair and then goes his shirt and every other form of clothing on his body.
He charges towards Lisa like a mad and starved lion which has just found food. Quickly and skillfully, he rids Lisa of every form of clothing and she remains motionless like a conquered prey.
A typical cowboy mounts his horse and begins to ride{thrust} like a professional. His horse gallops over sticks, ditches, streams, ponds, bumps and fallen trees.
The wind blows the riders wet hair and he screams and yells for pleasure, while the horse in return, increases her moans and screams of pleasure.
The rider stops to catch his breathe, and the horse stops by a stream to have a drink and not long after, the riders adventurous ride continues. After the rider releases, he climbs off his horse, and both rider and horse have a timeout.
"That was... Good" Lisa's hoarse voice remarks.
"Yeah. I can't recall the last time I felt so good. "Derrick replies
"I don't mind you staying through tomorrow "she informs him.
"Lol, How about I keep coming to visit? I can't stay at a stretch. Both my father and sister are home so... "Derrick says.
"Okay." Lisa replies a bit disappointed.
"I need to shower" Derrick says after a few seconds of silence.
"No! I'm going first. "Lisa states and Derricks jaw drops.
"But I said It first" He complains.
"Duhh, This is my house so I can do as I please. " Lisa says and Derick raises a brow as he gets that Lisa is deliberately trying to be 'difficult'.
He rushes to the restroom and Lisa springs after him. They both get in, turn on the shower, and begin to fight for dominance. Which somehow leads to the continum of the horse and riders adventure.
Narrators Narrative; "You're getting too relaxed. This was not the plan!" He screams and the lady on the sofa shuts her eyes In annoyance. "You think I don't know that? Getting married to him was never part of the plan either, yet you told me to go ahead with it. You better figure something out cause this sh*t isn't happening!" She screams at the man. Walking off the sofa and moving to his front. "Calm down. I'd figure something out." He persuades as he takes hold of her shoulders. "You'd better!" She scoffs. Freeing herself from his grip. What's going on? We'd find out soon enough. Dayos POV; "I can't believe we wasted our time!" Derrick finally breaks the silence in the room. I knew his big mouth would be the one to open first. "Are you sure you got the right address?" He questions Esther who raises a brow at him. "Of course I got the right address. Do you think it's
Esthers POV; I walk into the open Space, continuously dragging my cross-shoulder bag over my stomach. It's been a week since kunle agreed to meet up with me. He's been playing on my intelligence for the past 7 days. Even Derrick and Dayo got frustrated. I have to admit, Kunle is a very wise guy. He's taking caution. Enough caution to make me fear the success of this plan. I am in a red three-quarter, pleated dress. I deliberately chose to wear something free in a bid to hide my belly. Looking at it, one would think I have eaten a bit too much and pregnancy will not be the first thought to cross their minds. However, I don't want to take any risks. *Where is he?* I hear my brother's voice question into the ear pods I'm wearing. I know we ought to have sort for something more discrete as a means of communication, but hey, this is Nigeria. The fancy devices we see in movies are not so rampant and easy to get here. They are so rear they almost
Narrators Narrative ; "What? "Dayo screams in panic as he hears Esther screaming his name. She runs into his room dancing and shouting while Dayo is on his feets staring in confusion. Before he can comprehend what's going on, Esther throws herself at him and wraps her legs around his waist. Causing Dayo to have to hold her back to avoid her falling and him toppling over. Esther is too excited to notice she's in the air and that too in Dayo's arms. She soon realizes this and quickly releases her legs and comes down. "Oh my goodness. I'm so sorry. "She apologizes as she dusts his shirt. Unnecessarily attempting to smoothening out the wrinkles she caused it. Dayo gently moves her hands away and questions. "What happened? " "It's.... It's .. "Esther makes to speak but can't catch her breath so she points her phones screen at Dayos face. Dayo has no idea what to look for, or
Narrators Narrative Derrick looks up too and his eyes widen when they fall on Rose. She is, or was the manager of the imperial hotel. The same one they couldn't find and the same one who got Derrick, Esther and Dayo, the video they lost. "You? "He screams in alarm and Tobi just stares. Dumbfounded and confused. "Can someone please explain what's going on here. "Tobi finally speaks. Snapping the other three out of their staring contest. "Wait, she's your sister? "Derrick questions Tobi and Tobi nods slowly. Unsure of what will happen next. "Oh, thank you Jesus! "Derrick screams falling to the ground and Dayo explodes in laughter. "I can't believe this. "Dayo manages to exhale amidst his laughter. "What is going on? "Tobi questions again. This time with impatience. "Tobi, this are the guys I told you about. The ones I lost my job for. "Rose replies and Tobis eyes widen.
"What? "Esther screams when Derrick informs her about what happened earlier at the hotel. "You see! You see what dad has done? "She screams and Derrick just stares as his sister is throwing a tantrum in Dayos dining room. "Look, I don't even see the point in all this. I mean, my life had officially stopped a months ago! This child in my womb put a full stop to alot of things in my life. Why can't I just live with this? Why don't we just let Kunle be? There's no point in all this madness. We'd only make the soil on my name thicker. I've had enough disgrace for a life time. Let's just give this up. "Esther begs as she breaks down in tears. "Esther, don't.. "Derrick makes to persuade but this causes her to snap. "Don't what? Don't cry? Don't accept the pure fact that my lie is totally ruined? Don't accept the fact that I'm done for? It's over for me, Derrick! "Esther screams rising to her feet's a
Kunles POV; It's been weeks, sorry, months since I last set eyes on Esther. I miss her. Her sassing, beauty, tantrums, jokes, pranks. Everything. She used to go out of her way to please me. She has a very overprotective brother but always found a way to cut corners to be able to spend time with me. Esther is beautiful and simply unique. Truth be told, I always knew Esther was hiding something from me. She acts all badass around me but I know she's just a fragile little lily. I remember once when I took her to a pub and she requested a bottle of fanta. It took all the will power in me to avoid laughing at the expression on the bar tenders face. She quickly sensed something was wrong and requested something 'not too strong' she didn't even know what to ask for. And the other day, the other day I took her to a club, she was visibly shaking, but I acted unaware of this. I just love seeing how far she's willing to go for me.
Tobi POV; Ike's burial has been fixed. I called Ayo, Derrick and Dayo to be sure they are on their way and Derrick and Dayo told me they are there while Ayo still needs a lift. My little sister just lost her job and she's finding it difficult to stay home alone. Hence she opted to follow me to the burial of someone she doesn't even know. I'm older than Rose by a year but we behave like there's no age gap between us and sometimes, people often even ask if we're a couple. It's silly, but Rose always replies with a yes. Talk about a one of a kind sister. I remember once when she said so at a party. To the hearing of a girl I was hoping to later ask out. Long story short, I lost the girl cause she thought my sister and I were a 'couple'. "Rose! Let's go! "I scream for the third time this morning at my sister who won't come out of her room. "I'm coming. Just one minute! "She calls back. "You said
Dayos POV; "You will not raise your voice at me in my office! "The woman screams at me and anger explodes like a bomb in me. "Listen here old woman, my sister is currently going through so much pain and I will stop at nothing to help her. So if you get in my way, I shock you in ways you could never ever imagine. Do you understand! "I scream at her and the look of shock gets plastered on her face. "Derrick, "I hear my father call, but I ignore him. "Don't talk to me like that! I am old enough to be your mother! What sort of woman raised you? "She screams and for a split second, all I see is red."Don't you dare say another word against my mother with that black hole you call a mouth! "I bark at her and she jumps a bit. "Excuse you ma'am, I will not have you talk about my late wife like that. "My father replies and I clench my fist. Why does he find it necessary to explain th
Derrick POV; "Is this the place? " my father questions. Pulling up a little distance away from the Imperial Hotel. "Yes sir." I reply, staring at the hotel that began everything. The hotel where all these problems started. "Alright then. "He says as he drives towards the hotel. The gate man dressed in blue. A light blue shirt and deep blue Pants opens the gates for us and my dad drives in. In case you're wondering, I'm back from Lisas place. We came to a conclusion that our wedding would be a small secret one. One in which only our closest friends would be invited. We agreed that after having a small one, and we are legally called husband and wife, we can then proceed to having a grand wedding as her father would not be able to do anything about the fact that we are already married by then. And right now, I am with my father at the Imperial Hotel. He decided that, although Esth
