Consequences

Chapter 29

I waited until Kemi's sister came and picked her up. We exchanged phone numbers and waved each other goodbye. When she left, I went home. While I felt sad about Nancy leaving, when Kemi showed up, that sadness was quickly transformed into happiness. I was extremely happy, I had to share the good news with my husband.

I got home to find him sitting down and watching TV. I guess he must have waited for me a lot. I went over to him and kissed him.

"You stayed out quite a bit. What kept you out there so long?" he asked.

"I had to wait until Nancy went through the departure gate."

"So she finally left? And who knows when we'll see her again." I sighed when he said that.

"I guess we'll miss her. But you know what?"

"What?" he asked 

"I met my twin sister just as I was about to leave the airport."  I guess by saying twins, he must have really thought I had a twin sister.

"And you are telling me now?" He asked observing me.

"Well she's not really a  twin sister. She was my very best friend in secondary school. I met her at the airport. She said she just arrived from traveling." There was silence as if I had said something offensive. Ola scrutinized me like he knew who I was talking about.

"So what are you saying? With Nancy gone, you still have someone you can talk to, right?" I nodded.

"Oh well, I pray she's as good to you as Nancy was."

"Aha, this na my correct friend. We dey call ourselves the twins. You go like am, her name na Kemi." Ola jolted when I mentioned Kemi's name. I was surprised and shocked at the same time.

"Ola I hope I didn't say anything offensive?"

"Like what?"

"I saw your reaction when I mentioned Kemi's name. Do you know her?"He kept quiet and then stared at me seriously.

"And why would I know her. Was I your friend before we met and got married?" he asked.

"So now that you married me I'm not your friend anymore, abi?"

"See as you dey turn and twist everything upside down. Ha Tola? I go dey call MIss Mass Communucation o."

"See Ola dey find my trouble again o."

"No,  just say I keep you hanging." I looked into his eyes and saw them full of desire. I kissed him.

"Maybe, maybe not. I'm not sure."

"What do you mean you are not sure?" His hand quickly searched me and I knew he was asking for only one thing.

"Ola you dey find my trouble o." He didn't listen. Before I knew it, he held me to a sensual kiss that got me aroused. My eyes were full of lust and desire. He saw it and got up.

"Where are you going Ola?" I said lustfully. He ignored me and went into the bedroom. I got up and went in there and found the bed empty.

"Ola? Ola?" He came from behind the door and closed it. He embraced me and started kissing me. We soon found ourselves on the bed making love. When it was over, he was still hugging me. But while he did so, I  was deep in thought about his reaction after I mentioned Kemi's name. Did he know her? Have they ever met before? I wasn't sure about that. 

In the following days, I was able to meet with Kemi and invited her over to my house. I had come out of work and was on my way home. I decided to stop at the supermarket and pick up a few things. It was there I met her. She was coming out of the supermarket while I was about to go in.
