Episode 9


We searched around the house but it was virtually
empty. We went back to the room wondering what
must have happened.
"Quincy whats that red thing on the ground" Princess
asked me
"Its tomato sauce " i replied her
" It looks like blood" she said.
"No its not blood"
"I don't like this house, let's go home" she said.
Neither of us liked staying there too. We left the room,
on our way out to the parlor, Ada's aunt came in.
"Aunty good afternoon" Ada greeted her and i too
greeted her. She was on her uniform, she looked
smart in it but her face wasn't so bright. She looked
all worried. She had barely nodded at our greetings.
"Adaobi where have you been since?" she asked
"Aunty i was at school, i'm just coming back now"
Ada lied. She was fast with the reply like it was
premeditated.
"And who is he?" She asked regarding me
"He is my friend, i attend the same school with his
sister"
It wasn't exactly a lie but she left out the fact that
little princess was the schoolmate. Her aunt didn't
bother to ask.
"Aunty i saw blood in your room, a whole lot of blood
and i became afraid, that was why i invited him"
"Ada its your uncle o" she said and her eyes
moistened "I came home only to meet him in his own
pool of blood, no one was at home and i had to call
people who helped me take him to the hospital." she
finished in tears.
I didn't know how to react, i wasn't an actor. I just
kept mute and stared like i was shocked. I wasn't
supposed to act more than i did, after all i was just
meeting her aunt and the husband for the first time.
"What happened to him?" Ada seemed to shout.
"He had injuries at the back of his head, he is
unconscious right now and the doctors are trying to
revive him, he lost a lot of blood and they are looking
for donors." she explained.
"Let's go and see him" Ada said.
"We will go back, let me cook something for when he
wakes up".
She went to prepare food, while Ada wiped the room
of the blood. Little princess walked all over the house
like she had lived there for a hundred years. Soon we
were set and we left for the hospital. The doctor was
still looking for blood donors, apparently, his wife's
didn't match his.
"Can you check mine?" i asked as they were making
calls trying to contact their family members. Everyone
looked at me and i shrugged. I was immediately
checked, scans conducted and my blood matched his.
I was drained at intervals. It wasn't a wonderful
experience and i couldn't believe i did for a man
whom i now hated so much but then, the harm was
done by me in the first place and if he died, it would
be my fault. His wife and Ada thanked me so much.
Ada was by me as we went through that phase, our
bond grew stronger by the minute and she couldn't
hide her affection for me even in front of her aunt.
I guess she was too occupied to even bother. The
man woke up later in the day, he was grateful for my
help. He said he had fallen down in his room and
busted his head on the tiled floor. The wound on his
head made the story a convincing one.
I breathed a sign of relief when everything was over. I,
Ada and Princess went home later in the evening. I
escorted Ada to their house, kissed her Goodbye and
and took my sister home.. ..


***********
Things moved on. I became a highly placed guest at
Ada's home but that in no way affected my hatred for
the aunt's husband. Ada always liked to have me
around the house, first, for my company and secondly,
in case her uncle decided to do something funny. Our
waec exams were getting closer and everyone was
busy with studies. I started attending extra lessons.
Ada managed to convince her aunt and she too joined
me. We would go by 2pm and come close by 6pm, by
the time we were through playing love and everything,
we would be getting home around 7:30.
Everyone at the lesson center knew us as a couple.
Most of our various school mates attended the
lessons with us and that included Janet. She had
stopped talking to me and i supposed she had moved
on.
Surprisingly, Ada was smarter than she looked. She
loved answering questions there and soon became
popular, all the guys wanted to know her, she was
cute and sexy and so it was a normal thing. I loved
showing her off to everyone and my classmates
thought she was cute. I was the mr handsome and
every girl around wanted to fling. I did flirt around but
i tried to keep it moderate. Ada didn't mind much, she
seemed glad that a lot of girls wanted what she had.
She knew she had me and in the end, it was us alone
in our world.
I seemed to notice that Janet stared at me once in a
while. She would take her eyes away anytime i caught
her. I decided it wasn't cool for me to observe her
from afar, after all we were once together.
"Janet" i called her as i walked up to her after lesson
one day. She looked at me and looked away.
"Are you now going to start ignoring me" i asked her
"What do you want from me" she asked facing me.
"Nothing, just thought i should know how you are
doing for old times sake"
"I'm doing fine as you can see" She was trying her
best to sound harsh but I saw through her
camouflage and i saw the softness in her. I know
Janet like i know the palms of my hand, she wouldn't
even be standing there with me if she didn't care.
"I see, nice to know" i said.
"So that's the village girl you are sleeping with now
eh? " she asked with so much bitterness in her voice.
I looked at Ada's direction and saw her smiling at me.
A guy was telling her something but her attention was
on me. I loved being cocky atimes, so i decided to
give Janet a cocky answer.
" Yes, she's the one"
"So she gives it easily to you or what, is that why?"
"Hmm, maybe, i don't have to fight for it". The reply
got to her, she stood speechless, we stared at each
other for a while before Ada came and took me away.
I was in my room that night when my phone rang, i
looked and it was Janet. Curiously i picked her call.
"Hello?" i said
"Quincy. Its Janet"
"Oh, whats up? " i asked
" nothing, will you be free tomorrow? "
" It depends on why you are asking"
" I want to see you " she said with a little stammer.
" Why, what for? " i asked
" I need your help with my maths, i'm serious now"
"Fine, lets wait for tomorrow "
" Goodnight"
" Yea, Goodnight "
I was really apprehensive about Janet's motive, she
could get anybody she wanted to teach her
mathematics. She had chosen me definitely for a
reason and i was afraid i may not be able to resist
her.

***********
Janet came around the next day, around 11 am. I was
alone in the house. She looked good and was on a
black gown that outlined her body, she looked sexy on
it.
We took the study to the study table in my room. I
was determined to keep the relationship on a study
basis. I knew it wasn't going to be easy but i did try.
She seemed to be learning quicker than before and
that made it fun.
I tried my best to clear up any issue that may come
up in the future, i made sure Ada always came in time
to meet us studying, she would join us and when it
was time for us to go for our lessons, we would go
together. Ada didn't mind mind, i couldn't say the say
for Janet, if she did mind, she never showed it but she
always seemed quiet and so distant anytime Ada
came in. Ada was becoming a little more carefree and
bold which was a little contrast of Janet. I don't think
she liked it and i don't think i cared.
My private lessons with Janet went on normally for
days until after sometime, i noticed i was becoming
more attracted to her and i didn't know why, maybe it
was as a result of her sudden humble composure.
Janet had never been much of a talkative but she
wasn't timid either, one could easily tell by observing
her that she was so full of herself. She had everything
that any girl would pray for so it wasn't out of place
for her to be proud of it. All that seemed to have
changed now. She actually now listens when people
speak, people like me, and admits her faults unlike
before. I found myself helplessly getting addicted to
her, i started looking forward to our private time
together. I didn't like it but i couldn't help it. She
seemed to have known my weakness and was using it
on me, she let herself be controlled by me and did all i
asked her to and that was all she needed to get to
me. She seemed to have taken a little part of the
space that Ada had occupied all these while and she
didn't even work hard for it.
On a day like any other day, we were on the table,
solving her maths textbook, we looked at each other
more than we looked at the textbook. Her radiant
skin, her crystal white eyes and lovely smile formed by
a deep pink lips got me weak. I really wanted so
much to hold her like i used to but i didn't want to let
Ada down. She seemed to have noticed my
uneasiness and smiled, she held my hand on the table
and i looked away, i wasn't talking anymore, in that
flipping moment of passion when it seemed that i
wanted nothing else, nothing more but her, to kiss her,
hold her in my arms and tell her that she was
beautiful, all i could do was wish that Ada would
come in and put an end to all this nonsense but Ada
was nowhere to be found. I looked at janet and she
was still staring at me.
"Janet please, lets not do this" i said weakly and she
smiled
"Not do what Quincy? " she asked, she had this way
of calling my name that i really loved and at that
point in time, it made things worse. I just bit my lips
and stared. I have always loved girls and they in turn
had loved me back. Janet put her hand on my cheek
and caressed it, it was more than i could take, i
grabbed her and kissed her like i had always wanted
to do it. I pulled her up and soon we found our way to
the bed. She quickly undressed in a frenzy and i
followed suit. She grabbed me and we kissed more
before i spread her legs and .......
