LADIES COMMON MISTAKES IN A RELATIONSh!p
EPISODE 9
I truly had no as-signment to do that evening, but i only wanted to be alone for a moment, in order to control and calm myself down, because i didn’t want to betray my excitement, moreover his confession really overwhelmed me, because i never dreamt i’d be so lucky to have a male vir-gin, whom i like so much for myself……
“Hmmm am i not a lucky girl?” i asked my image as i stared at my mirror with a smile, and just that moment i heard a knock on my door………
I opened my door happily, because i thought it was Mariam, my best friend who was at my door, because she earlier promised to show up, but my smile quic-kly disappeared when i saw David standing at the door way…….
“Hello pretty girl i c@m£ to keep you company” he said with a smile as he walked into my room, without even waiting for me to admit him in, while i froze in fear because everyone knew him as a Notorious Cultist …..
However David really was a very handsome and rich guy, who spoiled himself by belonging to a cult group, and he so much was into it, that he was very popular within and outside the hostel and school environment, and he equally was a boy who thought the world only revolved around money and cultism……
As he sat on my be-d with a smile, i wondered what really brou-ght him to my room, by that time of the day………..
He crossed his leg as he stared at me with a confident smile, while i sat on my plastic chair and faced him with a drawn face. Even though i was scared, i never showed it.
“Are you not happy that i c@m£ to your room?” I heard him ask, while i shook my head and f0rç£d out a smile,
“I’m not feeling fine, and i was even about to sleep before you knocked” i replied……..
“But i just saw you coming out from Samuel’s room minutes ago?” he asked knowingly. I just kept quiet and held my jaw with both hands,
“But on a serious note why is a pretty girl like you, always hanging out with someone with no *swag*?” he asked with a serious look on his face. I breathed de-eply as i stared into his eyes with disgust,
“I like boys with no swag” i replied, in a manner which would even make a br@ve ‘jew student’ raise his eye brow in fear, but i cared not, because i really didn’t like even the air he breathed…….
“Baby we are not quarreling nah? plea-se i’m also your friend” he said calmly, while i shifted uneasily on my chair,
“I’m so sorry for the tone i used, it’s just that i nee-d to rest, plea-se” i said to him, while he shruggled, stood up and c@m£ to my side…….
“Okay dear i will check on you tomorrow, plea-se do take care of yourself” he said to me as he ca-ressed my hair a bit, while i held my breath as i equally restricted myself from ma-king any annoying comment, because his t©uçh really was very irritating, but then i equally was more annoyed with his composure, because he just behaved confidently as if he owned both i and the hostel……..
He finally left my room with a well composed smile, which really annoyed me more, but i soon forgot all about him as i rested for a while, before warming my rice, and dishing out some for Samuel as promised……
However as i stepped out from my room with a plate of rice around 9:00pm, i ran into him again, as he was coming out from the hostel balcony, and he smiled as he saw me,
“nne seems like you are now okay?” he asked jovially, while i smiled and pas-sed him………
Samuel was very happy when i brou-ght the rice for him, and he thanked me countless times as he devoured it, while i smiled confidently as i watched him eat…….
I really didn’t tell him about David’s visit, which appeared very irrelevant to be discussed at that time, but then a p@rt of me really urged me to tell him, but i suppressed and kept it to myself, even though i really didn’t know whether i did the right thing, especially with the events which later unfolded (Another great mistake most ladies make)…….
“plea-se can you sleep in my room tonight?” i heard myself ask Samuel, who froze for a while as he stared at me in surprise. I really didn’t know what pushed me to make such demand, but i guess it was because i very much scared of David and what he could do, which really didn’t make a whole lot of s-en-se, but then i equally knew in my mind that i secretly wish to spend the night with Samuel..,…
However i also knew what i did when i made such demand, because as a girl it could have been easier for me to sleep in his room, but because of my pride i had rephrased my demand, which i knew any sharp guy would un-derstand the hidden meaning……..
But Samuel really was at lost on what to say, and he just stared at me for a while before he was able to find his voice,
“Hope everything is okay?” he asked with concern, while i just nodded,
“Yea it’s just that i’m having a bad feeling which is ma-king me to be scared” i replied,
“Don’t worry dear, i will be by your side tonight” he as-sured me with a smile, while i smiled in appreciation, even though i equally was disappointed that he didn’t insist for me to sleep in his room, which most guys would have done…….
However nothing really happened that night in my room, even though we both la-id awake till very late in the night. I really was awake because it was my first time of spending the night with another boy, since i broke up with my Ex, while i easily noticed that Samuel was also awake, because he kept tossing around on my be-d. I really didn’t know whether it was because he was uncomfortable in my room that made him toss around, or because he was summoning the courage to t©uçh me…….
He finally drew close and held me, which delighted me very much, but i kept quiet and pretended to be asleep. To my greatest dismay he didn’t go further or do anything else to me, before we finally sle-pt…….
Hmmmm, since that night, my respect for him equally grew, because he behaved like a real gentleman who he has always claimed to be.
We woke up very late the following morning, and it was a steady knock on my door which really woke us, and i really was f0rç£d to open my door, when the person knocking refused to give up……..
It was precisely 7:05AM when i opened my door that fateful morning, to see David standing on my door-way, with hands in his pocket, and a fixed smile on his face……..

What’s his plan?
Did he get to know that Samuel and i sle-pt together on the same be-d the previous night?
We’ll know in the next episode
EPISODE 10
I blocked my slightly opened door with my b©dy, which prevented him from walking into my room, just like he did the previous day. However he never showed any surprise, but instead continued to smile sweetly…….
“How was your night, i c@m£ as soon as i woke up, because i want your face to be the first thing i will see this morning” he said, while i smiled,
“Thanks i’m very fine, but you also woke me from sleep” i complained as i ru-bbe-d my eyes…….
“I’m so sorry dear, will you be going out today?” he asked,
“Yea i will and why do you ask?” i replied,
“I just want to spend some time with you” he explained, while i shruggled, “well that will be another day” i answered………
Instead of leaving, he still stood and watched me, while i returned his gaze without knowing what else to say to him,
“You are really so beautiful dear, and i will do anything just to win your heart” he said sweetly and fluently, while i smiled,
“Thanks sha, but you nee-d not bother because you won’t succeed, moreover i alre-ady have a guy” i replied calmly, which made him to smile,
“You mean him?” he asked, as he pointed towards Samuel’s room……..
“plea-se i’m yet to brush nor clean up, lets talk later” i heard myself say to him, but just that moment Mariam appeared from nowhere and stood beside him, with a smile,
“Baby good morning, i’m so sorry i was unable to show up yesterday, abeg shift make i enter nah” she said pla-yfully, while my legs shook, as my heart leaped, because Samuel was in my room, probably still in my be-d, a situation i really didn’t want her to witness, because i really haven’t told her much about Samuel, and she might misinterpret the whole thing…….
“Baby give way nah, make i enter” she said again, while i hesitantly opened my door a little wi-der, in order for her to enter,
“David thanks for checking up on me, we will continue our discussion some other time” I said to David with a sweet smile, as i closed my door………
With a fast beating heart, i turned and faced my room, but surprisingly i saw Samuel seated at the edge of my be-d, well composed and engrossed in his mobile phone which he was pla-ying with. I breathed de-eply (What a sharp guy)…….
Yet Mariam still smiled and eyed me suspiciously, as she turned to face me again……
“We will chat later since your friend is alre-ady here” i heard Sam say nervously, as he stood up and left, while i smiled as i locked my door before facing Mariam again, who still continued to look at me suspiciously…….
“I just noticed many things” she said to me with a smile,
“Things like what?” i asked, but she just shruggled……
“Dear friend, hope you are not planning to keep this away from me?” she asked with a little laugh,
“Hope you are not planning to deny that you just sle-pt with Samuel?” she seriously asked me, while i g@sped…….
“No, i didn’t ooo” i seriously replied as i fell on my be-d, and clutched my teddy bear with a smile,
“sharra-p you liar” i heard Mariama say with a smile,
“Didn’t Samuel sleep here last night?” she asked seriously, as if she alre-ady was aware he did, while i wondered whether she really knew, or was just trying to pl@ywith my intelligence……
I breathed de-eply and stared at her,
“Yes he did, but nothing ensued between us” i replied, while her face lit up momentarily with bright eyes, which soon died away as she stared at me again in surprise,
“Huh what did you just say?? Do you mean you two didn’t??” she asked, while i seriously nodded to her,
“Yea we didn’t do anything, he is a complete gentleman” i said with a smile……
“Abeg go jare, you wan tell mesay two of una sleep on t©p the same be-d and nothing happened?” she asked in a surprise look an a n@ûghty smile,
“Comot there, you chukuchuku girl, you too like bad thing, do you think everyb©dy behaves like you, thank God you no be man tufiakwa! things for happen well for your head” i said to her, while she laughed out loud……
“I was on my way coming, when i saw you both sneaking into your room last night so i just turned and returned to my room, but i c@m£ here this early, in order to confirm whether he actually sle-pt here” she explained,
“Infact you are jobless” i said to her with a smile…….
“So what’s up with you and David?” she enquired, while i shruggled,
“I don’t know what is wrong with that boy, he just started showing interest in me” i replied with a yawn,
“plea-se be careful with that wolf ooo, don’t mind his innocent face, he is very dangerous” she advised me……
______________________________________
We chatted all throu-gh that morning happily, and we really had a great time, because Mariam never lacks t©pics and so we ate together, gisted and joked till noon, when she left for her room……..
I immediately freshened up as soon as she left, before calling Samuel on phone, in order to know where he was,
“I went to see my uncle, i will be back shortly” he replied,
“Abeg buy something when returning, including Christian love movies oo” i begged,
“Ok madam i will” he replied, while i smiled……
I had ba-rely ended the phone call when i heard someone knock on my door, i immediately knew it was David which really made my b©dy temperature rise a bit. I breathed de-eply and reached for my door, which i quietly opened, while he stood at the doorway with his usual decieving smile………
“May i come in?” he politely asked, while i nodded, opened my door wi-der and made way for him to enter my room, which he did with a confident smile on his face.
David calmly entered my room with a confident smile on his face. I left my door opened, and drew down my curtain, which then stood in its place, because i really didn’t want to lock myself inside my room with him.
“You are looking very lovely” he said with a smile as he sat on my be-d. I sat on a plastic chair and f0rç£d out a smile,
“Thanks ooo my God is alive” i replied…….
“So what plans do you have for the rest of the day?” he asked,
“I don’t un-derstand your question” i replied as i gave him a curious look,
“How do you plan to spend the rest of the day?” he asked,
“Oops now i un-derstand, anyway i have no plans other than to re-ad my books, sleep and eat” i replied a bit coldly,
“Hmmm it’s okay sha” he muttered……..
We stayed in silence for a while, which really was one of my boring moments that p@rticular day. I sat uneasily on my chair and browsed with my phone, as i equally prayed for Mariam to show up and rescue me……
“Globacom is hosting a show this evening in school, will you like to attend?” he later asked. I looked up in surprise and shook my head,
“Really!, how come i didn’t hear about it” i muttered to myself loudly…..
“So will you like to attend?, i heard Tuface, Wizkid and other musicians will be coming?” he asked anxiously, but i just bit myl-ips and looked away,
“No i don’t think i will go” i replied, even though i secretly was dying to attend such a show, but then i really couldn’t accept to go out with such a boy, whom i knew was all out to impress me, till he gets whatever he had in mind, moreover attending such a show with him, might end up into another thing which i equally was very scared to think of…..
“What are you thinking” he asked, stood up and drew close to me, while i immediately composed myself and smiled,
“Nothing i’m fine” i replied, but he squ-atted by my side and held my hands,
“i know you don’t trust me, i can see it in your eyes, but no matter the opinion you may have about me, just know that i’m also human, who deserves to be shown love and respect which you are not even showing to me” he said as he stared into my eyes……
“what do you mean?” i heard myself ask, but he laughed,
“i can re-ad your eyes, you despise me because you know i belong to a secret cult, but dear if you should hear my story, you won’t really blame me at all” he said calmly.
“I’m alre-ady in love with you which i can’t help, plea-se just take me as a friend. It hurts me very much whenever you treat me like dirt, just like you did this morning, plea-se don’t look at my outside nature, but look inside me, and decide for yourself, whether i’m that bad” he added, while his face changed as if he wanted to cry……..
I really was t©uçhed, but all i could do was just to look away and stand up,
“I have heard you, but it won’t change anything, we will continue to be friends and nothing more, just as you asked for” i replied………
“It’s okay by me, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a step” i heard him say as he stood up,
“What do you mean” i asked in surprise, but he just laughed,
“Don’t mind me dear, it’s really nothing” he replied,
“But i have one more request” he added, while i turned and faced him,
“What is it?” i asked.
“plea-se i nee-d just a friendly hvg from you, to mark our friendsh!p, then i will leave” he begged, while i bit myl-ips and looked away,
“Common what’s so ha-rd in it?, a friendly hvg won’t do you anything” he begged…..
I shruggled as i breathed de-eply, hesitantly drew close and hvgged him, while he ti-ghtly held me a bit longer than i had in mind……….
Unluckily Samuel ban-ged in that very moment…………..
