Chronicles 8..........

Oh well..... Back again! Busy weekend I had! Ups and downs but all good regardless so I am grateful!


Anyhoo! To continue from where I last left off....... The week came and went!


End of blog..................lol

Going down memory lane, so many incidents happened. SB and I got so much closer as the months went. Resting in the fact and acknowledging finally that we were an item; exclusively but with a comma from his end.

His lease was about to expire at his apartment, to which I was kinda happy about. At least he won't be crossing paths with my arch rival! Funny when I look back now, because of her, I don't like any perfume or body spray that has a hint of vanilla in it! I remember that was her scent. I even had an aversion to her name! I purposely did not make friends with anyone that bears her name.


We always saw each other on our street, never spoke, never exchanged words, but dang the looks I got from her were like daggers!! I was never bothered, I just had the outlook that, "may the best lady win"!


He spent all his time with me so I had nothing to worry about. She had never met his folks, I had. She only knew a handful of his friends, I knew all his boys! They were regulars at my place. He was real sick a couple times and both times, I was there for him. Making his folks aware and whatnots.


Really, nothing to worry about when it came to her. Not trying to knock a sista, but she had nothing on me! Or so I thought!


The night before he moved to his new apartment in Ijebu Igbo, I spent it at his. As usual, we gisted till the wee hours of the night. See, that was one thing about our relationship. We were never short on gist! Lol..... I wonder what we always had to talk about but we did.

Me laying on his tummy as he was playing with my hair, we laughed, talked, argued points that did not concern us. Just having a good old fun time. We shared secrets we dared not share with another soul. As we were talking, I was rolling a thought in my head; is this "Love"? Gosh! What the hell? Where did that thought come from? He could tell my mind was wandering so he sat up and pulled me closer to him holding me in his arms and for no reason I can say, tears welled up in my eyes! I realized after 9 months of being with him, I found him to be my bestie! As in a real bestie! I didn't have to front with him. I could fart and be stupid with him and he was very accepting of who I was. Never judging me or trying to change me to be a specific way. He just took me as I was! WOW!!! New things here on my mind.......


I reached out to look at my phone to see what the time was...... 3:15am it said on the screen. I came back in his arms, my head buried in his chest, I could feel his heartbeat against my cheek. We stayed that way, neither of us talking for what seemed like forever. I knew he was not sleeping because he snores when he's sleeping. Save for the boombox playing his favorite mixed cd collection of Joe, Donnell Jones, Maxwell, Avant, Jaheim, MusiqSoulchild and the likes.... the room was quiet with neither of us sleeping.


He said something but it was barely a whisper so I turned to look in his face. There was a sliver of moonlight coming in through his window and it lit half of his face dimly. I asked him what he said and he cupped my face in his hands and kissed me long and urgent like he was trying to stop himself from repeating what he had said. He pulled back and looked in my eyes and said, "I Love you"! Breathless and completely blown away! Was he reading my mind!!! I am sure the look on my face was probably that of a flabbergasted idiot and before I could respond, he said I did not have to say it back or respond if I didn't want to.


Thing was, I was feeling the same way! I sat in between his legs, crossing mine like a kid's and pulled him closer to me. Right there told him I loved him equally. There! Finally, I was able to get those words outta my head and lips. He was about to talk, so I put my hand over his mouth and told him to shut up and not spoil the moment.


We made love tenderly and slowly.....almost like a punishment as we came over and over and over again!!! Oh my.....by the time we were spent and couldn't go further, the sun was already rising! No more sleeping for us as it was moving day for him! We took a shower together as we usually did and I went to my dorm to get food ready cause I knew he would be starving by the time he was all done. He had told me he made arrangements with a truck owner to help him move his things, so when I saw the truck pull up I knew it was time to head back to his place.


With food packed up, as I am walking to his place, I see my arch rival talking to the truck driver but I didn't pay attention to them until I got closer and bits of their conversation came floating to my ears. She placed her bag in the passenger seat and their conversation sounded like she knew the driver! More like the driver was her family's! More like what???


Anyways, I went into the compound, SB was bringing his things out and the driver was behind me coming to help him load up. I told him I'll be in the room. I didn't want to jump to conclusions or assume nothing. Like he liked to say, "assumption is the mother of fuck-ups". Hmmmm......okay oh!


He comes in a few minutes later to get the last of his things. I hand him his food and start to make my way out but turned around and asked, "so I guess she's helping you move abi?" He starts to respond and I told him to zip it! Not after the night we had and now this!? I shut the door so no one could hear us talking. I told him calmly, to leave me the fuck alone and have a nice life with his girl and stormed outta there!!!


I went to my dorm, picked up my journal and ran to my secret spot in the woods a few streets away. I had told him about the spot but not where it was so I knew even if he came looking for me, I won't be home! I just could not bear to see or talk to him..... I was do livid, thought my brain and heart would explode from the pain I was feeling.

I get to my spot......it was on a lone rock. In the middle of no where. There was a little grove in the rock that was like a seat. I sat down and cried myself silly! Poured my heart out in my journal. I wrote and wrote till no more words came to my head. All I could hear around me was birds chirping and leaves rustling. The quiet soothed my soul. I cried out to God to take my pain away.


It must have been like 2pm when I got to my spot but it was already dark when I realised I must have fallen asleep on the rock. Scared as crap to be all alone in the woods now that it was dark, I went back home to my dorm. Yetunde and Abbey were in the room and soon as they saw me, they started screaming at me and wandering about my whereabouts. Apparently, all the while I was gone, fracas had started in town as cult boys were at logger-heads again.


I was told we had to leave school first thing in the morning as lectures were on hold till it was safe to come back. Abbey said we were meant to leave already but they couldn't leave as they were all out looking for me. Said Segun was crazy worried, like I cared?! I told them what had happened as them two were my confidantes. They comforted me and made me feel better, telling me things will be okay. We just had to leave first thing in the morning.


Morning came, having barely slept a wink. Segun was out there waiting for our main door to be opened. He was explaining to me that I had to go home as school was not safe. U tuned him out and said I knew! Yetunde, Abbey and I made our way to Olowoporoku with Segun in our company. Abbey and his cousins had called for their father's driver to come pick them so I was hitching a ride back to Lagos with them. I was kinda glad I was going home as I wouldn't have to deal with seeing Segun or his girl!


This marked my first real heart-break and I sure didn't know how to deal with it so I was glad to be going home......


Pain.....sniff sniff.....

Chronicles 7

Well...gotta give a shout out to my readers/viewers!!! All 169 of you!! Please leave comments.......hehehe.


Ok so back to where we were!

I filled up my bucket of water, trying to look really busy, I started towards the dorm turning my back on them though they were very close by. SB was a step behind me, he called out to me to which I almost didn't respond, but my mates were all around, by the well, by the veranda. One thing I believe in is never to bring personal drama out to the public! (kinda what I am doing now! Lol) So I turned around and looked at him, eyes shooting darts and arrows which were replaced by a sweet smile that I directed to Dayo's way, looking right past SB!!


So he takes the bucket from me and heads to my room, exchanging greetings with my mates. Dayo pulls me away from the hearing range of friends who I know were all looking forward to do some aproko(eavsdropping/gossip) on our conversation. There was a semi live/dead tree on the right corner of our yard that was a good distance from earshot. Dayo goes into the spill about knowing that I am pissed off and I had every reason to be, to which I answer that I could not be angry as me and SB were not that serious so why sweat it? Lol.....he was having none of that! Talking about "oh Moby, u be my person so I no fit miss am for you"! Then he goes on to tell how his boy really likes me and ish, to which I asked if that was so, how come he ain't telling me himself?


Dayo should have been an Attorney! I don't know what he's doing with numbers? By the way, he was the one who coined my nickname...."thug-nigress"....lol. He went on and on about how his boy got no sleep all night, worried and sad as crap at last night's incident. He better be! By this time, apparently SB is behind me because Dayo glanced that way as I had my back turned to the hostel and did not hear him walk up. I was about to turn when he wraps me up in his big old snugglie arms and whispers that he is really sorry! Angry but melting in his hold, I give no response so as not to betray my stance and make him think it was all done with his apology and that squeeze of his! Damn!!! I weak ooh!


I take a deep breath and gather my thoughts, emotions and strength, told him to leave me so I could seat on the bench under the tree, which he did. I sat down and he sat next to me. Dayo now done with being his boy's advocate cracked a few jokes to help ease the tension in the air. Admonishing and teasing us, he leaves with a final word, "if una like make una fight, all I know be say, Moby promise me food later so I dey go now, make una settle this BS make I fit come chop after classes!!" With that, he left! Tha boy is a hawt mess!!


Akward silence for about 30 seconds and we both started talking at the same time. Me saying "what happened last night was no biggie", he still apologizing. We burst out laughing at how comical we sounded!


Ok from here on, it gets a little controversial but, its just me! Always got some controversy going on!


SB goes on to tell me whats going on with him and ex. Talking about yes, she wants him back, matter of fact, they were kinda sorta back but nothing serious. To which I asked, "like us?" He said NO! Hmmmm.... Unfamiliar territory again! He said she had no close friends and he was all she really knew. Went into the spill of giving it time, she'll get the message and move on with life. I did not ask if he was sleeping with her because I didn't want him to lie. I just said well, from here on we use condoms to which he looked at, me all crazy! I sure wasn't looking forward to catching nothing! I don't know where her coochie's been!

Don't judge me! Hehehe...

He promised that last night's incidenr will never happen again as he had told her she couldn't come around unannounced like that no more. Better! Need to warn a sista! I don't do drama with chics mehn! He told me to trust him, it might take a while but he's not playing with me and really wants to be with me. Asked me to give him a chance to work things out, to believe and have faith in his care for me. Hmmmmm.....


For some reason, I did believe his words!! Not like this was my first relationship with a guy that had another girlfriend! Dated a childhood friend briefly that had bugged me 2 weeks into meeting his girlfriend, didn't give him the time of day until a year later, by then him and girlie were seriously dating but I still dated him for like 2 months! Yeah controversial me! They are married now with 2 kids and he still wants my ass because I had promised me he'll be my first! Hehehe..... I digress!

Anyways.... I told SB I will trust him, I won't ask no questions and did not want no lies! We are friends first and foremost so where-ever this led to, I wanted us to still remain friends! Gosh u shoulda seen the relief on his face!!! He held on to me so tight on that bench, just about squeezing the life out of me! His breathe was ragged like he was tearing up! I pulled away to look in his face. He's always had bloody red eyes so I couldn't quite tell if they were redder from tears or just their normal shade? Hmmm..... I know a lirru something about not knocking a guy's ego so I didn't say or ask anything. I just held him back nice and tight and said to him, "your punishment is no sexing for a week" to which he responded, "no yawa, but we resume lovemaking the week after"..................

OMG!!!!

Did he say "love-making"? Is that what we were doing?





Juicy details next installment!!!!!!

Y'all "aprokos"!!! Waiting for gist!

Chronicles of Our Lives

OMG!!!! It has been a little over a month! Apparently this blog actually has readers!!!

Ok, so where did we stop? Hehehe... So, I'm here at the beauty shop, getting my hair re-locced, if that spelling is right! I am on this natural swing, been on since my emancipation on April 19th 2010.....that's a whole different story....we'll get there someday!

So back to the way we were..... Ok ....so tonight, I continue from last Friday when I started the top portion of this blog! Terrible blogger I must be! So much has gone on in the last week but "Chronicles" is all about yester-years so here we go! From here on, I'll only be using nicknames of my lover.....hehehe. I had really gotten comfortable with boo and he likewise. He was my big "Snugglie Bear" and I was his "Sugar Lumps". We were at his apartment just hanging out after having watched "Love Jones". For some reason, we always analysed movies together after watching them; if the movie was well scripted? How realistic it was, if it mirrored life as we knew it? If the acting was any good? The likes of such were our days in Ago. We were practically attached by the hip. Rolling together everywhere and like he used to say, I was his road-dog, we were like 5 and 6! I decided to go to my hall to fix some dinner and as always he came along. He was hungry for beans and plantain, so I got to cooking. A few of his boys were in the neighbor-hood and before I knew it, I was using 3 kerosene stoves! One for the pot of beans and the other 2 for plantain! He had sent the indigene kids next door to the market to get more plantain as what I had at home could not feed all them mouths. Some where along the line, my dorm mates started bringing out plates so we just had a good ol' community dinner! Lol... We all just hung out that night and I spied out the corner of my eye, his ex walking home and trying to catch a glimpse of what was going on in my dorm. She was friends with a few of his and my dorm mates. So greetings were exchanged then she called out to SB!!! Oh well, they are house-mates so whatever! He goes over to her and I acted non-chalant clearing up plates and cleaning up. He was back in less than 2 minutes and came to check up on me. I could tell he was searching my face and body language for any reaction, but I was back in my zone of "we are just kicking it" so no reactions from me. We say our good-nights and head for his place in the company of Yetunde, Jonomo and Dayo. In their compound, we chilled in the courtyard for a bit as the guys delved into boys yarns, funny thing is I actually enjoy hanging with guys and listening to their "philosophical" ideas on what guys talk about. Lol... Jonomo and Yetunde take their leave. I met Bolajoko, Dayo's main squeeze that night, real cutie of a girl and very shy nice lady. We talked for bit and left them to retire for the night. I get comfy in one of his t-shirts for the night, we are talking and Dayo calls him out saying he needed to talk with him. He leaves but not before he gives me a kiss on my forehead. I guess I must have been really tired because I did not know when I started dozing off! All I hear is the door open because I was startled from my dozing state about to stretch under the covers and tease him about how long he had been gone when I see his ex walk into the room!! I bolted up for a second then caught myself. I said hi to which she did not respond. I go further to tell her SB was in the living room with Dayo if she needed his attention. Still no response from her. At this point, I just turned my back to her and proceed to sleep. I really did not give a hoot what she was there for. I was seething underneath the sheets but I was not going to let her see that! I felt the bed move under pressure and I turned to see what she was doing. She sat on the edge of the bed!!! Gaddamit! What the hell??? Are we 3 going to sleep on the same bed? In the same room? Where the hell was he??? Gosh!!! Well being me, a girl with a lot of pride, I got my day clothes, went to the bathroom, changed and proceeded to look for him or Dayo and let them I was heading to "my dorm"!!! I found them outside in the yard! Calmly, I tell him his "girlfriend" needs him in his room and I was headed to my place. He looks at me like he had just seen a ghost and says what do I mean? I give no further explanations and go to open the gate, he holds my hand to stop me, I was close to tears at this point and angry at myself for that expression of weakness! Coldly and under my breathe, I tell him to let go! I stormed out of there not giving him a chance to see my tears. No guy had ever brought me to tears and I sure was not going to give him the pleasure of that. Mind you, it was 1am!! Way past the curfew time but I did not care!. I ran the street's length to my dorm with my heart racing like crazy, hoping and praying to God that the vigilantes were not anywhere closeby. Getting to my dorm, as expected, the main door was locked! I see the light in one of my mates room still on so I called out to her to open the door but she does not have the key to do so! Meaning she had to go knock on our land-lady's door, waking her up to let me in! My luck could not get any worse! I wait for what seemed like endless minutes till the door was opened. I am so grateful to my land-lady and mate for not asking any questions, I guess from the look on my face, they could tell I sure was not in no mood to talk! I thanked them and made my way to my room, good thing Kemi was with her law mates so I had the space to myself and cried myself to sleep. This marked a new territory in my love-life! He had told me a while back that she wanted to get back with him but did not go into details and since this was all new to me and I of cause did not ask any questions! All the emotions I was going through were new and unknown! Anger at myself for feeling this soft! I was a strong chic dammit! My nickname was "thug nigress"! Jealous? Was that the emotion I felt? But why? It wasn't like we defined our "thing" as being exclusive, we were just kicking it but still!!?? I barely slept that night. I was up and about 6am! Fetching water for my shower from the well in front of my dorm, I look up and see him and Dayo coming my way! Gosh! How to deal with the awkwardness of all these?!?!? How was I supposed to behave? To be continued in next installment!!! Lol..... Love makes the world go Round!! © ~Moby Sugar~

The Chronicles of Our Lives

Oh my! It has been 11 days of absence from here! School, work and church has kept me mad busy! I have a prose due this wednesday and was hoping to use some old write-ups from my old journals but they in 9ja wif old dude!

Had to get creative, all done now though....will post up on here after its graded.

So now back to the chronicles......

Our first christmas holiday..... I sure did not know how that was going to be but I was able to convince my folks to let me go spend it in Yaba with my uncle. We spoke every day and night till the wee hours of the morning.

We made plans to hang out a few days after I got to Yaba. It was a saturday and Uncle Owolabi was home, while I was getting ready, Uncle Blow like we called him was talking with Segun and I was freaking out getting dressed real fast cause I didn't want my uncle putting him on the spot and embarrassing the daylights out of him.

I did not put a lot of thought to my clothes that day but I rememeber having on a blue-green turtle neck jumper shirt and a really short brown skirt. We say our good-byes and headed out. I asked where we were going, he said, "oh well, we'll just cruise town, grab a bite here and there and probably his house so I know where he lives." To that last part I said, "hmmmmm, are we that serious that I get to know your house? Hope your folks are not home as I don't think I am ready to meet them yet." He said that only his brother will be home so no big deal. We laughed and chatted.

We just drove around Lagos and when we got hungry, stopped over at Mr. Biggs for food. We then headed to his place in Isolo. On getting to his street, I realised I had family friends that lived on his street that he knew. Small world you can say. He parked in front of his house and I can see a woman sitting in front of a shop connected to their fence and he says that is his mom!!!

Gosh! Not today! Not now! Not how I was dressed! Short skirt and jumper! He smiled at me and said it was fine that his mom was cool. I could not for the life of me open the passenger door as I was freaking out. So he comes around my side to open the door and got me out. All the while I could see her smiling and beckoning to come her way. He held my my hand as we headed to her. My one hand trying to pull my skirt down and the other in a death grip in his hand!

Introductions were done and the first thing she says is, "finally I meet you! So you are Mobola? Segun does not let us rest in this house, all he talks about is you. I can see why now cause you seem like a pleasant girl!" Speechless and shy all I could muster was thank you Ma! She made me feel at home, chatting with us and poking fun at how good we looked together. Segun then tells her we were going in the house, she says sure that his dad and siblings were in too...... God! Why me!

Walking into the house, I see his older sister who is my name sake looking really sad. She is a friend of mine from church, GWC in Sabo and I knew her boyfriend and friends too...my world was really getting smaller! Apparently, she had just had a talk with their dad about wanting to get married and he told her she and her boo will get his blessing only after he got a sustainable job! Segun's room is off the living room downstairs as was his brothers who was actually not home! He showed my around the house, upstairs was his parents and sisters rooms. As we headed back downstairs, his dad comes out of the room! Introductions and greetings were done, talk about a majorly embarrassing day. His family was really warm and loving though and everybody made me feel welcomed.

We went to his room to chill, watch movies and just hang out. In the middle of all that, he wanted to make love and I could not wrap my head around that as his folks were home! But, being the freaky duo that we were, we did, all the while laughing and giggling like fools! Crazy as it sounded! First time at my boyfriend's home, we had sex with his family around!

We hung out for a while and when it started getting dark, headed out. We stopped over at Dayo's house which was a couple blocks away. There I met their neighborhood friends, Timi, Magoo and Mega. Nice dudes. We chatted for a while, I felt really comfortable with his boys as we jabbed fun at one another. I guess I was really becoming a part if who he was!

He drops me home with a promise to call soon as he got home which he did. Xmas day came and we hung out all day with his family and friends, we made plans to spend the next day with the Ladele sisters in Surulere as the previous day was Iroti's bufday and that day was Jeje's. She was having a party. He comes to pick me up with his cousin Tope Oke. Meeting more family! This was moving way fast! We had a blast at the party with school mates and friends just having fun. Everybody looking forward to going back to school.

That holiday period was just plain fun! Hanging out with my boo, his family and friends. Pure innocent fun!

Beautiful memories!

Adieu till reality sets in and our challenges as a couple begins.....

The Chronicles of Our Lives

Oooooh weeeee!
Okay, I shall continue.....lol

Feeling his full member in me as I did was mindblowing! Beautiful and freeing at the same time. I felt like I was doing the right thing for the first time in my life! Me a basically refurbished virgin(if such exists) giving myself wholly to my bestie! Waoh! Yeah, mom should see me now! Lol...

He was real gentle as promised, he stayed in me till my orgasm contractions receeded. Then slowly started moving in me, each thrust getting bolder and stronger as he could feel me getting comfortable. All the while kissing me hungrily with the rhythm of each thrust. Novice that I was to sex, with him I felt like I was doing everything well. I realised I could only hear my own moans! I go rigid and ask if I was doing something wrong, he looks at me so intently and said no. He kisses me and asks if it hurts. I answered that it was sweet pain.....lol

Sensations I never knew I could feel started going through my body from my breasts to my loins. Out of the blues I said, "I think am about to come again!" At that very moment, we both did and I gave out a louder moan. He slumped on me, both of us panting for air! After what seemed liked hours, he starts to lift himself from me saying he didn't want to crush me on the bed but I clung to him saying it was okay. We stayed that way for a few more minutes and I blurted out, "I sure ain't a virgin no more!" We both laughed as he rolled off me. Suddenly the thought comes to my mind from tales I had heard from friends that as soon as a guy is done having sex, he just rolls over and falls asleep! I was expecting just that to happen but he surprised me totally! Pulls me to him all cuddled up and started talking! I could not believe my luck! Jeez! Is this guy for real! I guess time will tell!

We stayed cuddled naked under the sheets and out of no where, Dayo was knocking on his door! I freaked out in embarrassment at being caught naked under the sheets! Segun jumps up from the bed, grabs his boxers and puts it on helping me search for something to wear. Dayo's banging on the door, by this time, me and Segun were cracking up bad, so I told him to open the door that I will stay under the sheets. Lol

He opens the door for Dayo who comes barging in cracking jokes as usual, taunting and teasing. Gosh, could the mattress have swallowed me then? I would have been glad for that to have happened! He did not come for anything important that I can remember, I guess he must have been bored by his company and probably wanted to just have some laughs. Segun dismissed him and locked the door after him. He then rejoins me in bed apologized profusely, but I had gotten to know Dayo and his brash ways by then and told him not to worry that I was fine. We continued chatting and one thing led to another and we made love again. We barely slept that night. When the first cock croaked at dawn, we laughed and decided to sleep finally!

I woke up at 12 noon to find him looking at my face. I smiled and asked if everything was okay. He said yes that he loved how I look while sleeping, peaceful! Lol....

I was conscious of my morning breathe, so I didn't talk straight at his face so as not to grose him out. He pulls me to him and kisses me! Am I dreaming? Oh well..... I get dressed in my own clothes after another round of lovemaking, lightly joking that I am not ready to be preggie. He said if I was, we will keep it! Yeah! Yeah!!

I was about to go to my dorm but I did not have the nerve to go alone as I thought my friends will see "sex" all written on my face, so I go get Yetunde from Jonomo's room for moral support. Lol....she was not ready to leave but I dragged her anyways! Jonomo and Segun walk us home and we all stayed at our dorm all day chatting with the rest of our housemates. I was always touchy-feely with Segun before we started dating, so I guess none of the other girls apart from Yetunde could tell I was up all night sexing! Lol...

As unbelievable as it was, here I was only 4 days into this relationship and I gave it up already! What ever happened to the one year mark? Or even "till my wedding night" ish? Thing was, we had been besties for most of the year and it just felt right!

By the beginning of December, I was so comfortable with the idea that we were a couple now. All my mates knew or rather confirmed that we were dating and so did all his friends. My birthday was coming up and I did not have any idea what I was going to do as this was my first birthday away from home! Well, he told our friends there will be food and drinks and for everyone to come hang out. When he told me, I was like, "what?" He asks what I'll need to buy and I was dumb for a few seconds as I dont take money from guys or ask. I was close to broke as the holidays were around the corner. When I did not respond on time, he lays some money on the table and says he 'll handle the drinks then he kisses me and leaves!

I am still in shock as I pick the money up to count it. He had left N1500! Keep in mind this was the year 2000! I lived in the indigenous town of Ago-Iwoye! Where food is dirt cheap! My pocket money a month was N5000 from my folks! Yetunde brings me out of my reverie saying we better head to Ago market as it was open that day. The market comes open every four days and my birthday was the next day. We headed out and came back a couple of hours later. One would have thought we were throwing a block party with the amount of food we came back with!

Then Yetunde asks, "who is going to cook all these?" I laughed and said me of cause! See, I loved cooking! Cooking was my past-time those days. I cooked for the whole house regularly to the point that Segun's friends were constant fixtures in our dorm! At first he was weary about his boys coming over just to eat and thinking I was their cook! I assured him I was fine with all the cooking. I simply loved feeding my boo and his boys. Besides, he always kept me company while I cooked, though he was always picking at my meat in the pot through out the whole cooking process but it felt great to have him there all the time! Yay me!

I called for Sanmi and Namso to help with the cooking as I knew they were also good at it. We did not sleep that night, getting the ingredients and veggies for the main courses ready as we could not cook it the night before. We spent the night prepping and chatting. First thing the next day, Sanmi said, "how are we going to cook all these food on the stove? It will take forever and not get ready on time for when guests started coming." Lol... I laughed and told her not to worry. Thank God for living in a huge compound in Akute, and also thank God for days of no light and boredom that had us cooking over an open flame at home.

I told the girls I knew how to light an open fire to cook with, all we needed were the big open flame pans which we borrowed from our indigenous neighbors. While trying to light the fire, Segun comes by and I could tell he was blown away at my ability to do this. He kisses me, wishes me a happy birthday and went on his duties for the day.

By 2pm, the food was all done! We had a huge platter from salads, to jollof rice, to fried rice, to chicken, goat meat, cow meat, snacks, fruits etc. We had so much meat, we made kebabs!(stick meat)

We all went to clean up and get ready for the guests to arrive. By 6pm, my mates started trailing in and his friends joined in shortly. It was just meant to be a "come-chop" but with the number of folks we had in front of the hall, chairs had to be rented as our rooms were already packed with folks hanging out. Then "NEPA" played a doozie on us and we were left in the dark. Candles and lanterns came on and I felt that the come-chop will be over soon. Wrong! Segun rallied with Abbey and Tolu, the next thing I know, I heard loud music blasting and I look around and see that a boombox was connected to a car battery! At this time, I see Tolu dragging in a 25 liter keg of "palmie" jeezz! Now the party started!

Folks danced the night away! Excess food and drinks! Friendship, fun and birthday! My boo threw me the best birthday party ever! Was I really falling for this guy? We were only kicking it right?

That night was mad fun! But due to the 10pm curfew, folks had to leave by 9pm. People did not want to go but no one wanted to be a scapegoat for the town vigilantes! Lol... We said our good byes and my housemates helped with the clean up. Segun said he was going to sleep over and also help with the cleaning. Yetunde left with Jonomo and Kemi with her mates, leaving me, Segun and Tolu. Tolu lived in the next room to me and was still cracking jokes and drinking with Segun.

I recall in the process of that evening, Chinko had come with a wrap of weed seeds he wanted to put in the palmie and I was mad at him for even thinking I was that kind of party girl! He was a friend of Segun, I had told him to deal with his boy as I wasn't having no crap like that!

After the cleanup was done, I chased Tolu out of my room so I could celebrate privately with my boo. I didn't think he got any other presents as the party in itself was great! As always, he surprises me again! Cake, cards that I still have today and a cute lilac shirt! Who are you! Could I be that lucky???

Oh well, a little intoxicated but still lucid, I gave him the night of his life! I did not care if my housemates heard me going at it! There was no light so no radio sound to drown my moans and groans, besides it was my birthday gaddamit!!!

Memories! Phew.......

Always
