mmesoma

chapter 5

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 pass 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. Vera and I had
our wedding penned in a few months, our families are
involved and the planning had begun. Days later, I was in
Ogun state and I was kept abreast about the progress
being made regarding mmeso’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.
Vera 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 Abuja after my official assignment
and the first place I went to was mmeso’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 mmeso…. She had a
bum shorts on, with a light pink half top. She was amazingly sexy, 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 Royal purple and pale pink. 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 2 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 top and her nipples… Oh my God!
… I had missed them. I haven’t been intimate with anybody
else and her boobs was more than full.
I grabbed unto her boobs and I began to suck her nipples . She
then said. “Oh korede, there hasn’t been anybody else
apart from you. No one has touched me and no one will but
you. Take me korede” I was unbuttoning my shirt and she
was pulling her bum shorts… We were Unclad and kissing,
catching up from where we stopped years ago. I then
inserted into her, she moaned. She was so wet and creamy.
That feeling, that same feeling, everything was coming back
to me. We made love not sex, it was love. When we were
done she said. “Oh korede , you released in me again.” I
then said. “Oh shit, I am sorry.” She then laughed and said.
“It’s okay, I am safe. My ovulation has passed.” We both laid
down on our backs in silence. She then broke the silence
and said. “Is she more beautiful?” I then said. “Come on mmeso. Please.” She said. “Is she better than me? Does she
satisfy you like the way I do?” I said. “I am afraid, I can’t
answer you.” She then asked. “Do you still love me?” I said. “I
can never stop loving you mmeso.” She said. “Then why can’t
you marry me?” I then said. “My family and her family are
already involved.” She said, “I love you with my life, and I
understand you have moved on. I cannot ask you to leave
her for me.I want to ask you one Question korede. Will
you choose to marry a lady you love or a lady you are trying
to love?’”
I then said. “If I am left with that choose I will choose you.
But I told you, our families are already involved.” She then
said. “Am I not worth fighting for?”
I became bewildered and completely helpless. I couldn’t
answer her question. so we slept off. In the middle of the
night she woke me up by sucking my manly, I was
completely lured and ignited. Overwhelmed by the flame of
passion I grew. She then posed in a doggy position and her
bum was just right in front of me. I stood to mount on her
and rammed into her till we were both wasted
The following morning, I left for home. Unfortunately I met
Vera at my place, she was seated in the sitting room and my
mom was comforting her. She was in tears. My mom then
asked me. “Where are you coming from korede ? Your
chairman said you guys arrived last night” I said. “A friend of
mine was having a party so I had to attend.”
My mom then said. “Is that why you switched off your
phones korede?”
I told her. “My batteries ran down.” My mom then said to
Vera. “You see everything is fine, I told you….
My mom then said to vera. “You see everything is fine, I told
you.” I then went to my room and vera 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 korede, 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 a girl. I blame your father for
making you serve in Lagos state. Now korede, you will take
me to where you are housing them.”
I sad. “Now? It’s late mom.”
She said. “Now korede. 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 mmeso’s apartment. I knocked and mmeso
opened the door and said.
“Sweety, I was just …….” My mom said. “Who is your
sweety?”
Mmeso 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?”
Mmeso said. “No ma”
My mom sad. “I am a Judge in Abuja . 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, korede !!” 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 USA . 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 Lagos and you both
will stay there till your visas are ready.”
Mmeso 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 korede you have 2 minutes, I will be
waiting in the car.”
She left for the car and I stood there looking at mmeso. I then
said. “I fought for us mmeso and now see what it has led? I
don’t think I will ever see you again. Good bye mmeso.” 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 mmeso at lagos. I knew I
would learn to love Vera But I can’t love her the way I loved
Mmesoma. But I later came to understand that what transpired
between mmesoma and I was lust, lust was the basis of our
friendship and what reshaped our destinies. Love builds but
lust destroys.
