Episode 1
In the year 2006………………………
We were at work arranging scra-p metals,
when we noticed a car drove in.
Chidi: twelve years work for here no fit buy
that ride
Me: Trust me bro, I ain’t spending twelve
months here. I hope you do the same
Chidi: Abegi! no be everyb©dy dem do

Me: Na you talk so
Chidi: Me wan gather money go open my

Me: Na now you dey talk. Ibo boy.
A woman stepped out of the car, walking
towards the admin office
Chidi: Na oga wife be that o.
Me: which of the og@s?
Chidi: Chief Rotimi, na him get this factory.
Me: The same Chief Rotimi the polit…
‘’Tattoo and Chidi, e be like say this work
don tire una abi?’’
Our supervisor snorted from behind.‘’If I
catch una dey talk instead of working, I go
show una’’ We continued arranging the
scra-p metals.
I clocked out at five as usual. I was walking
home when I saw an elderly woman, which I
guessed would be in her sixties looking
lost.
Thewoman was in iro and buba, so I
guessed she should be from the west. I
approached her.
”Good evening ma.” I greeted her in Yoru-ba
with a little bow.
Woman: Good evening, my son. Do you live
around here?
Me: yes, ma.
Woman: I’m going to my daughter’s house,
but this area is confusing. The street was
supposed to be behind this bank, but I
don’t seem to un-derstand it anymore.
Me: The bank here is new. There’s another
one over there.
Woman: plea-se take me there. God bless
you, my son.
Me: Amen ma.
She easily recognized the street just the
behind the other bank. She knocked when
we got to the front gate. The gate-man
opened. Just before she entered a car
horned behind. A woman alighted and i
could swear I have seen that face before.
The younger woman: Mummy welcome. I
have been worried.
The older woman: My phone battery went
flat,
I’m sorry.
The younger woman: It’s okay ma. Bless
God you’re here. But, you didn’t tell me you
would be coming with someb©dy?
The older woman: I almost got lost, but
thanks to this my son.
The younger woman: oh! What’s your name,
young man?
Me: Galacious, ma
The younger woman: Thank you so much
Me: You’re welcome, ma
The younger woman: Alright let’s all go
inside. Galacious plea-se come in.
Me: hmm, I’m sorry ma I have to head back
home
The younger woman: oh! Not even a drink?
Me: It’s getting late ma, thanks.
The younger woman:: ok. I un-derstand.
She reached into her purse and brou-ght out
some notes.
The younger woman: plea-se buy recharge
card with this
She stretched her right hand towards me.
Me: don’t bother ma
The younger woman:: oh! I insist
Me: I’m sorry ma
The younger woman: Really?
She withdrew her hand.
The older woman: He is well brou-ght up.
You shall not die young.
Me: Amen ma. Good night.
‘’ Good night, my son,’’ ‘’Alright. Take care
dear’’ They said in unison.
The next day was a Sunday—–our match
day.
The evening football match c@m£ up every
Sunday evening. The street had a mini
stadium where kids pla-yed every day, but
Sunday evening was reserved for the older
ones.
The game started as usual. Everything
seemed normal till a sh0t was deflected and
the ball bounced into the street to hit one
of the young ladies walking along. One was
Chinenye who lived on the street, but the
other lady, whom the ball hit, doesn’t look
familiar.
Other lady: Jeez!
Chinenye: sorry dear
Other lady: look at my go-wn!
I ran towards the ball, picked it up and
tossed it to the field before turning to the
ladies.
Me: sorry about that ma’am
Chinenye: Thanks jawe, Galacious.
Other lady: thanks? Seriously, Chinenye? So
you’re sorry comment is going to re-move
this stain, right?
She snorted, starring at me.
Chinenye: C’mon Princess let’s get back
Inside.
Chinenye placed her arm around her
shoulder and they headed home.
I couldn’t utter a word after the apology.
Not that I didn’t know what to say, but I
was dumbfounded by her beauty. Ne-yo’s
‘When You’re Mad’ was pla-ying in my head.
I could swear I had never seen such beauty
in my life. I stood there like a statute and
watched them walk back to Chinenye ‘s
house. I was brou-ght back to reality when I
heard a voice coming from the pitch
‘’Galacious, our set!’’.
Throu-ghout the game there was only one
name ringing in my head——-Princess.
Heading back home after the game I met
Tunji who was coming out of my building.
‘’Galacious, how far?’’
‘’ i dey . This one way I see you for our
house. Abeg o, my sister still young o.’’ I
accused him.
‘’Kai! I no be Pedophile na.’’ He protested
and continued, ‘’na the new girl I come
shadow.’’
‘’Which new girl be that?’’ i asked.
‘’Oh! You don’t know? Good. Her name na
Udenme and an me dey do her parole.’’ He
explained.
‘’Udenme? For this house?’’
‘’Yes na. Na Grace’s cousin. But guy, like i
said earlier na me dey do her parole. No go
use home advantage for me.’’
‘’TJ, you? Where you keep Kemi, Angela,
Chinelo. Rita…..’’
‘’Guy bone dat thing. I don’t tell you be
that. I dey go my house.’’
‘’Alright bro, later.’’

Episode 2
It was bonding time once again. That was
the term used to refer to every night when
there was no power and most of the
occu-p@n-ts sit outside their various flats in
different sizes of benches.
I was having a conversation with Biodun,
who was my closest friend in the building.
He was living with his sister in one of the
flats. A young lady walked past us to sit
beside Mr Chinedu and his wife, which
bench was just few metres away.
Biodun: Mehn! This Udenme babe ti-ght.
Me: you can say that again, bro. So na she
be Udenme?
Biodun: Ehn na
Me: She’s really ti-ght. Abi you self dey do
her parole?
Biodun: no no. You know I don’t do street
paroles na.
Me: I would have been surprised.
Biodun: she fit you wella o
I chuckled
Me: Mr Match Maker. I feel you.
Biodun: for real
Me: I hear.
There was silence for a while.
Me: Men I saw one babe today.
Biodun: for where?
I narrated what happened during the game.
Biodun: Talk to Chinenye. She’s the link you
nee-d to get to her.
Me: that’s a great Idea, but you know me
and Chinenye don’t flow that much.
Biodun: you now have a reason to.
Me: no kidding.
Biodun: ok na bro. See you tomorrow.
Me: alright.
Biodun went in. I also noticed Mr Chinedu
and his wife were alre-ady going in, but
Udenme was hesitating to follow them. The
couple went in and I was about to follow
suit when I heard a thin sweet voice from
behind.
Udenme: excuse me.
Me: yes?
Udenme: are you Ayo’s brother?
Me: Yes. Hope there is no problem?
Udenme: not at all. You have done a great
job with Ayo In her mathematics.
Me: oh! Thanks. But how do I get to know
that?
Udenme: I took her and Precious on the
subject yesterday. She was good.

Precious was Mrs Chinedu ‘s second child,
who attends the same school and also In
the same clas-s with my little sister, Ayo.
Me: oh! You’re the new teacher on the block
We both chuckled
Udenme: not really
Me: aright. You have a good night.
Udenme: you too.
I heard a knock on the door and sat up
from the be-d. I sat up, switched on the light
and ru-bbe-d my eyes slowly to steal a
fleeting glance at the wall clock. It was
3:00am. D–n! Who could that be? I
opened the door without asking who it was.
I was appalled when I saw Princess
standing right at the doorway.
‘’What are you doing here at this time of
the…..’’ i couldn’t complete the s£ntence.
‘’Shhh’’, she put a f!nger on myl-ips and
said, ‘’don’t ask questions. Just be re-ady to
catch what about to throw at you’’. My eyes
brow rose.
She walked in like we were both living there.
Before I knew it we were on the couch
tearing each other’s clothes off. I climbe-d
on t©p her and began to k!ssher. I started
from herl-ips and down to her jaw. I moved
to her n£¢k, l!çk!ng and sU-Cking each
b0s0m and ma-king a trail of k!sses down
her stomach. I looked up at her and smiled.
She smiled back at me. That was enough
motivation to continue my trail.
I placed her leg on my shoulder and made a
trail down her leg, when I got to her inner
th!gh she m0aned in anticipation. I plunged
my ton-gue into her we-t Kitty-Cat and she
m0aned even louder. That was weird
because my mum would’ve woken up with
the slightest sound. I began to li-ck and sU-
Ck her Kitty-Cat like it was the best meal I
have ever had.She put her hand lightly on
the back of my head and ru-bbe-d it. I felt
that was an encouragement to ride on.
Shortly after, she was m0an!ng my name
‘’Gala………..cious, plea-se don’t st©p’’. I
wasn’t planning to. She c@m£ few minutes
later and whispered ‘’my turn’’.
We switched positions and she made her
way to the Royal Highness—–Gala. She
li-cked the head in little circles. I m0aned
softly. She gr@bb£d my ba-lls and mas-saged
them with her hands, while she moved up
and down my gala. I m0aned a little louder.
She m0aned softly and took the entire gala
into her mouth. And ra-pidly moving up and
down from the head to my ba-lls. I began to
t—-t fas-ter and more urgently rushing for
gala spit. I c@m£ after telling her I was
about to, so she pu-ll-ed away and stro-ke my
gala.
She started to stro-ke gala again till it
gained consciousness. She l@yback on the
couch. Gala was about to make an entry to
the promise land before I felt a tap on my
back.
Mom: wake up, Mr man. Are you not going
to work?
I opened my eyes and It was my mom.
D–n! I was dreaming.
