LOVE BY A BEAST
EPISODE 26
Me: tell me how it started
Since the fish was peppery, we sat up and rested our backs against the wall. The air-conditioner was on, so he tossed me a blanket to cover my folded legs. I had earlier s£nt Timi a text not to come for me.
Jafar: how what started?
Me: how you joined a confraternity
Jafar: you really want me to bore you?
Me: I can’t ask you about how the things with Eli is going, at least I can ask you this one..
He looked at me, I looked back with an encouraging smile.
Jafar : I was approached by some guys while I was shooting pool in the permanent site, one guy and Eli, they said I should leave the snooker table for them. The friend I was with left me there, he didn’t want their problem. Eli and his friend asked me if I was mad and didn’t know I should do as I was told. I wasn’t just in the mood for ru-bbish that day, so once again I ignored them. After threatening me for a while, they asked me for my number, I declined. Eli gave me his and said I should call them whenever I wanted to, that I was the kind of person they were looking for. I forget about the encounter until one evening like that. There is this girl I had been seeing, a Jambito like myself. I didn’t know she was d@t!nganother guy that was a spirit-man. I was with the girl, a 200L student, when my door was f0rç£d open kicks. Five guys entered the room with sticks. They beat me black and blue that night. The girl kept apologizing to the head of the team, that I was just a guy she met at the campus. After they left with the girl, I checked myself into a hospital. Few weeks later, I tracked down the guy. I went to his house and hoped to inflict pain on him too but as I got in, I was surrounded by more guys. The beating I got the first time was nothing compared to this one..
I couldn’t help myself, I started laughing. It was the first time I laughed since Abayomi died.
Me: sorry for laughing..
Jafar laughed too, and filled my glas-s with more wine..
Me: plea-se continue
Jafar: so I checked back into the hospital, but this time…I called Eli and explained everything to him. It didn’t take long before more than a dozen guys c@m£ into my ward. They were looking deadly, infront of them was Eli. He told them I would be taken care of, my bills and all. He also promised me those guys will be dealt with as soon as I got out.
Me: so when you were out of the hospital, you guys went for them?
Jafar: Oh, yes we did. And it was a cool day.
Me: you and Eli were close?
Jafar: not really, but for about 2months, he was my mentor, until he was booted out. The funny thing is that he joined the group that he had saved me from.
Me: wow…that was some story..
Jafar : you should sleep now..
Me: do you have any regrets being in a confraternity?
Jafar: truthfully?
Me : Yes
Jafar : sometimes, when people use their powers to oppress. But sometimes I am so glad. We have perpetual cases where we help people get justice. For instance, a girl breaks u with her b©yfri£nd, and she tells him to pay her all the money he owes her so she can write her exams, he doesn’t, he beats her instead. She reports to us, we appear at her b©yfri£nd’s place, he pays the next week. Or a lecturer is using s-x as a medium for a pas-s, we visit his wife…he adjusts. Plenty cases like that. But we have bad eggs among us…plenty unfortunately.
Me: do you have a girlfriend?
Jafar: is that p@rt of it?
Me: just answer?
Jafar: no..though I have girls..
Me : why?
Jafar: because it’s not safe for them. The easiest way to get to a guy is throu-gh his loved ones..
Me: true..
Jafar: how is Timi..?
I suppressed a giggle…the wine was working…
Me: Ijebu-ode
Jafar: good…you might nee-d to go be with him..
Me : why?
Jafar: Eli knows you are here…Eli is coming…
Me: then let’s leave together, find a new place..
Jafar: I am the leader of my group, I remain here..
He brou-ght out a piece of rolled bunt
Me: Tell me how many people you have killed.
Jafar : ki na son ki ji?
Me: yay! I like the way you speak hausa.
***I was ti-psy alre-ady.***
Me: but what does that mean?
Jafar: it means “do you want to hear”?
Me: yes
Jafar: Babu..
Me: yay…”babu” means no!..i know that one..
Jafar laughed..
Jafar : you are correct..
Me : so will you tell me?
Jafar: No, a gentleman does not say those things to a lady
Me: you get sweet mouth o…chai..
Jafar : it’s time for you to sleep
Me : what if I don’t want to go tomorrow, and I want to stay here instead?
Jafar: I wouldn’t allow you..
Me : you will carry me out?
Jafar: wouldn’t nee-d to do that, you are a lady..
Me: hehehehe, I won’t be a lady tomorrow..
I prayed God gave me the strength to control myself whenever I was high, but he didn’t
Jafar: you are more fun than I thought..
Me: so you mean to say you thought I was boring?
Jafar: not that..i just thought you would be upti-ght like the average daddy’s girl.
Me : so you are calling me a daddy’s girl?…goodnight young man!
Jafar: goodnight dear, you can sleep on the be-d, I will crash here..
Me: you better join me on the be-d..
I realized I sounded like a mad woman, he was enjoying himself…he was laughing..
Me : rotten boy, I didn’t mean it like that jor, I meant you should not sleep on the floor because of me..
Jafar : I know, its fun watching you talk like this. I think you have been sad for a while. The wine is re-leasing you..
He blew out a cloud of weed, the AC converted it to a mist..
Me: I want to smoke too..
Jafar : not tonight..
Me: what if we don’t see tomorrow?
He was quiet for a while, I realized I had said another stupid thing..
Me: I didn’t mean it like that. I would just shut up and sleep..
Jafar: okay dear..
Me: you wouldn’t beg me to talk?
Jafar: not this night ma..
I climbe-d his be-d , went to the edge of the left hand side and covered myself with the blanket..
He sat on the right hand side for a while, before he l@ydown too. There was a gulf between us.
My phone rang, I wasn’t scared, even if it was Eli, I had Jafar by my side. It was Toun.
Toun: I am home, how are you?
Me: I am fine, I am so happy you got home..
Toun: thank you dear, are you in Jafar’s house or Timi’s?
Me: I am with Jafar..
Toun: Tana, you don’t love Timi anymore, you are crazy about Jafar….don’t waste time and let him know. Look at me, I didn’t know I had limited time with Abayomi, I was fooling around with Naetochukwu…
Me : babe, I think you should rest…how about we talk tomorrow?
Toun : I love you Tee… thanks for everything…greet Jafar for me..
Me: love you too dear..goodnight..
Jafar was quiet at the other side of the be-d, he had extinguished the blunt.
Me: Toun s£nd’s her regards..she is home
Jafar : Ok…
He kept quiet again..i wasn’t re-ady to sleep yet..
Me: Oya! Lets just say one more word to each other before we sleep…I will start…”goodnight Jafar, and thank you”
Jafar: sha baki na
I didn’t know what he meant again, I didn’t care, I just loved the way he spoke hausa…I rolled to his side of the be-d, held his face between my palms and k!$$£d him..we k!$$£d….i l@yon t©p of him , his hands were around my w@!st, I s—-d his lower l!pgently..he s—-d my upperl-ip, till our ton-gues sizzled against each other..i just wanted to eat the guy alive…d–n!such a good k!ss£r…I should be feeling guilty as regards Timi but I wasn’t…he must have realized because he raised me up gently…and I was once again on the left side of the be-d..
Jafar: Goodnight Tee
Me: Goodnight Jafar….wait…what does “sha baki na” mean?
Jafar: I thought you knew..
Me: No, I don’t…
Jafar: It means “k!ssme”…
I laughed as I rolled back to the right hand side where he was…that was where I sle-pt..
I woke up in the middle of the night, everywhere smelled good. The entire room smelt like Jafar. I was lying with my back facing him. He didn’t emit any sound as he sle-pt. I felt so powerful right now, the almighty Jafar was slee-ping with both eyes closed next to me, I could kill him if I wanted.
Jafar: you should be slee-ping..
I didn’t know the guy was awake too..
Me: you too..
Jafar : Are you cold…should I put off the AC?
Me: No o…but I am cold…hold me..
He giggled and kept quiet..
I took his hand placed it around me, it rested just beneath my bo-ob z…
Me: oya let us sleep….i wanted to feel powerful again. He didn’t answer me though.
The next time I woke up, his arm was still around me, I didn’t move…I just wanted it to be like that. I didn’t think of Abayomi, Timi or Toun, I just wanted to remain in his arms. I was fantasizing till I sle-pt off again.
I woke up to an empty room, I checked my phone, it was 5:30am, the be-d seemed bigger…I pressed my nose on the sheets, I smiled..
I saw myself as a proud person, I don’t go after guys nor even give attention to those that come after me..but with Jafar, I didn’t care if he didn’t want me, or if last night’s k!sswas just a k!ss…I will savor it. i would hold on to it. I noticed a text message on my phone…it was from Jafar…it re-ad…” There is a loaf of bre-ad in the kitchen, eggs in the fridge, oil in the cu-pboard…search for the rest…will come for you by 4pm, so you can go stay with Timi…Ago ain’t safe for you”..
Just like that my day got spoilt. So I was really going to leave? I called Timi..
Timi: baby..
Me: Timi, I would be coming to Ijebu-Ode by 5…plea-se pick me up at the Mr Biggs, close to Gtbank.
Timi: I am happy..finally I can be with you..
Me: yeah..
Timi: you don’t sound happy, coming to see me…wait….have you sle-pt with Jafar?
Me: no..
Timi: Thank God…I love you baby…
Me: see you soon ..
I made breakfast, bre-ad and eggs with coffee. I packed my bags like a spoilt br@t resuming boarding school…thoughts of Abayomi was forcing itself in my br@in…I called Toun..
Toun: Tana…
Me: Toun, how are you?
Toun: Abayomi’s mother just called me, such a sweet woman…we cried together…
Me: it must be killing her…
Toun: she wants me to be around for his burial.
Me: will you?
Toun: I would kill anyb©dy that st©ps me..
Me: I wish I could come..
Toun: are you safe there?
Me: I would be moving to Ijebu-Ode to stay with Timi..Jafar insisted.
Toun: he wants you to go?
Me: apparently..
Toun: I am sure he is gutted about it..
Me: he doesn’t show it, look the guy at most just likes me…I am contented though..
Toun: anyways, wear black on Friday…it’s the day he will be buried…
Me: thank you Toun, your strength inspires me….
Toun: strength?…i am dying inside…
Me: i am sorry,,
Toun: bye dear..
I decided to just sleep till 4pm, unfortunately..Acho chose that time to call…
Me: Acho..
Acho : Tana, how are you…how are you coping?
Me: I am good…sorry for the other time….the way the guys hit you…
Acho: no jor…that time has pas-sed..i just want you to know if you nee-d me…I will be here…I still love you..
Me: thank you…
Acho: lets hang out this…
I hung up…
I was awoken by soft taps, it was Jafar…he was smiling at me like I was his favorite daughter…
Me: oh, you are back..
Jafar: yes…
Me: is it 4pm yet?
Jafar: it is 5pm…
Me: d–n!..Timi would be waiting for me…
Jafar: lets go….have you packed your bags?
Me: since na…
I didn’t want him to know I was crying inside…
Jafar: I will miss you…
Me: blablabla…
He helped me with some of my bags, I carried the rest…I was sad.
Sparrow was infront with the Volvo…Uche was at the back with the Hilux..we were at the middle..i was keeping malice with him, I didn’t talk to him or even tell him thanks, after he helped me with my bags…but he didn’t seem to notice…
Jafar : are you hungry?
***I ignored him.***
Jafar: have you called Timi?…
I crossed my hands around my che-st, I wasn’t going to answer him..
He laughed out..i looked at his fine features, his strong chin and well groomed goatee…
Me: just take me to Ijebu-Ode..
Jafar : yes boss…
He reached across his car’s cd pla-yer and pressed the pl@ybu-tton.. It was Britney spears…”Everytime”…one of my best songs… why should this guy pl@ythis song now?…As he sang along, I joined him….in no time we were singing and smiling…that is how my malice ended o…chai…
Notice me
Take my hand
Why are we
Strangers when
Our love is strong
Why carry on without me?
Everytime I try to fly
I fall without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I nee-d you baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, it’s haunting me
I guess I nee-d you baby
I make believe
That you are here
It’s the only way
I see clear
What have I done
You seem to move on easy
And everytime I try to fly
I fall without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I nee-d you baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, you’re haunting me
I guess I nee-d you baby
I may have made it rain
plea-se forgive me
My weakness caused you pain
And this song is my sorry
Ohhhh
At night I pray
That soon your face
Will fade away
And everytime I try to fly
I fall without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I nee-d you baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, you’re haunting me
I guess I nee-d you baby
When we got to the sharp turn that ushered us into Ijebu-Ode…I stretched my left hand to meet his right hand…
Me: I will miss you…don’t die…you dare not die!
Jafar : I will miss you too…I will always be around…
Me: you know I like you, abi?
Jafar: I figured that out…
Me: you like me?
Jafar: No!..
I was elated until I saw him grinning…
Jafar: ofcourse I like you…
Me: how much?
Jafar: very much…
Me: ‘how’ is very much?
He blarred his horn and turned right into a filling-station, where he parked, the Volvo anf Hilux did same..…He relaxed my seat, so that it was almost flat…then he brou-ght hisl-ips closer…I met it half-way…i had been yearning for it since the last time we k!$$£d…I wanted to taste him so that his flavor will remain in my mouth long after he was gone…I wra-pped my arms round his n£¢k and pu-ll-ed him down…felt his che-st grind my bo-ob z…I bit his n£¢k gently…ran my hand down his arm…his back…I was we-t..i pu-ll-ed him closer…then we st©pped…we had to breath…we hadn’t been breathing…
He returned my seat to the normal position…and drove out of the filling station…. I was still breathing de-eply…the k!sstook my breathe away..
Jafar : was that enough?…
I looked at him…I wanted to run my hand round his face…I wanted to tell him that the past few minutes will last in my memory forever..
Me: kindha…
At night I pray
That soon your face
Will fade away
Timi was waiting in front of the eatery when we got there…My bags were transferred to the Starlet….After few plea-santries…Jafar and his guys drove off…
I was moody.
I was glad I was with Timi, I expect him to make me feel better in no time. Although I kept repla-ying everything that happened between Jafar and myself, I had to focus on the pres£nt. As Timi drove along, I tried figuring out the best time to tell him that I k!$$£d Jafar..
Timi : are you okay? You look sad…
Me: I am good Timi, how far is the ap@rtment?
Timi: It’s just the next street. Dapo, the guy who owns the place has travelled to Dubai, I have the keys…
Me: oh..thats good..
Timi: we are going to have so much fun…I know we are mourning but I will try to make you enjoy yourself..
Me: thank you, Timi.
Timi: don’t thank me, you know I love you…
***I gave him a squee-ze on the shoulder.***
The ap@rtment was a two-be-droom flat, sparsely decorated. As soon as we entered the room, Timi held me close..
TImi: you are the most important person to me…
Me: I am glad dear..
TImi: I know we are not where we should be now, but I have no doubt we will get there.
I remained in his arms for a while, I looked at his eyes and I saw love and admiration. I told myself I was at the right place..
Me: let me take my bath…
Timi: can I join you?…
Me: hahahahaha…ru-bbish boy…
I was in the bathroom, as the water splattered against my skin, I found myself thinking about Jafar again, the way he k!$$£d me…held me…
I realized I was tou-ching myself so I st©pped. When I got back to the be-droom.. Timi had two wra-ps of beef-burger, a plastic bottle of coke and a plastic bottle of Sprite. I wore an over-sized jersey that Timi had given me, I was n-ked beneath…
Timi : Coke or Sprite?
Me: Sprite…
I initially enjoyed the Burger, but I soon got tired of it. Timi was done with his and proceeded to take a shower. I wanted to text Jafar, but I decided against it. I had to make a confession to Timi, that was my priority..i skimmed the Tv for programs to watch, Galaxy TV was the only clear station…I abandoned the Tv.
Timi entered the room with only a Towel around his w@!st.
Me: Fine boy…
He c@m£ to me, pushed me so that my back was pressed to the be-d. The Jersey I was wearing slid up my th!ghs..He was on me, I had to spre-ad my legs to accommod@t£ his b©dy. He rested on his elbows…
Our faces were inches ap@rt…he wanted to k!ssme, but I had to tell him what happened between Jafar and myself before I let him..
Me: Timi I have to tell you something…
He raised his head up, his w@!st was still on mine, I could still feel the rod-like ha-rd ness on me..
Timi: is it about Jafar?
Me: yes..
Timi: oh my God, don’t tell me you have sle-pt with him…
Me: No….but I k!$$£d him…twice…
Timi: thank God you didn’t ….
Me: you don’t mind that I k!$$£d him?
Timi: I do but…I know you like him..i just hope I can win all your affection back that you don’t go back to him…I don’t deserve you…I know that…but I want to fight for you..
Me : awwwww…so sweet…
He c@m£ down and k!$$£d me…his hands pressed against my b—-t until he found my n—–s…
TImi: I miss this…
His other hand went beneath the Jersey…he started stro-king me…
Me: Timi , I have something else to tell you…
Timi: can’t we talk later?
Me: now…
TImi: what is it, my love?
Me: I am sorry but I have to break up with you…
Timi: what?
Me: I love you…I will always do…you know this…but I am not inlove with you anymore…
Timi: Jafar right?
I nodded…
He stood up with his arms held akimbo.
Timi: we can work throu-gh this..i un-derstand…let us just build what we had from the scratch..
Me: my mind is made up , Timileyin..
Timi: over a cultist?
Me: I am sorry…
Timi: you are not thinking straight..
Me: I am…for the first time in a while…
Timi: so whats next?
Me: I have to go back to him, I belong with him…
Timi: what if he doesn’t want you?
Me: that’s the difference I guess…I love him not because I want him to love me in return…its enough for me just to love him..
I didn’t expect Timi to drive me back to Ago, but I didn’t expect him to dress up and just leave the house like that…
I took my bag, wore my sli-ppers and went to look for Taxi, to take me to Ago…to Jafar..
LOVE BY A BEAST
EPISODE 28
We were both in be-d…
Jafar: I have liked you since the first time I saw you…
Me: when was that?
Jafar: During GNS 103, I was in your clas-s, I saw you answer a question once and you got stuck in my head…
Me: why didn’t you ever tell me…
Jafar: because of Timi…plus someone like you doesn’t deserve just a fling…
Me: that is so sweet…
Jafar: come let me show you something….
Me : where?
Jafar: Just come…
It was past 9pm when I entered his benz with him, and he drove us into the night…
Me: isn’t it dangerous?
Jafar: nope, we are not going far…
It was a cold night, even after he put off the car’s AC, it was still cold, I embr@ced myself to fight it. He didn’t drive into the main road, instead he continued driving along a rou-gh path until we got to an open space. This space was surrounded by a thick bush. The space was almost circle in shape, we were in the middle.
Me: what is this place?
Jafar: I really don’t know, I stumbled on it some months ago..
Me: what were you doing that you stumbled on it..
Jafar: in times of relative peace, I like to drive around close to mid-night. It helps me think and process ideas..
Me: so you were driving and you got here, what’s so special about this place? Although I like the circular thingy…
Jafar: are you re-ady?
Me: yes…
He turned off the car’s engine and lights.
Jafar: shhhhhh
We remained quiet in the car…I looked at him after a while and almost giggled out. He must have been talking about a spiritual experience because I wasn’t seeing another physical.
Then it start…a fire-fly put on its light on the right side of the bush, then a group put on theirs on the left..then a couple more put on theirs. Before long, the entire bush was filled with light emitting fire-flies…it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen…we were the darkness surrounded by light….
Me: this is nice…
Jafar: I come here everytime…
Me: you haven’t brou-ght any other person here before?
Jafar: no..just you..
Me: thanks…
Jafar: Lets go outside…
Me: I don’t want them to leave…
Jafar: they won’t…
We la-id down on the car bonnet…facing the sky, surrounded by God’s light…
Me: after all these ends, what becomes of us?
Jafar: I thought about it too…
Me: so?
Jafar: I really don’t know, a day at a time I guess…
Me: I will be going to Lagos soon, probably after I leave Sagamu.
He didn’t say anything…dew was falling on the car, ma-king the cold night even colder. I drew closer to him to tap some warmth..
Jafar: I love you Tana…
My heart skipped several beats as he said those words..i kept looking at the stars that filled the sky. Now that he had said he loved me, this guy just made it very ha-rd for me. What if we are f0rç£d to say our goodbyes…what will happen to me…I would be broken…
Jafar: look there..
He pointed at a building from a far, with lights at the t©p…
Jafar: that is the Ebu-mawe’s palace..
Me: I love you too…
And then I started crying again..how did I get here? How did I get to fall in love with someone like Jafar.
Me: can I ask for a favor?
Jafar: sure…
Me: can you just remain on the low-key till we graduate. Forget about Eli and all…lets just be..
He didn’t reply…
Me: can you?
Jafar : it’s not a one way thing, we are fighting an evil…if we don’t…it would be the end of us all..
Me: then be careful…
Jafar: Eli worries you…?
Me: yes..
Jafar: don’t worry…
I started shivering after a while so we went back inside the car. Hoobastank’s “the reason” blarred from his speakers…He switched the gear into drive and once again…we eased into the night…
I woke up without remembering how I got to the be-d. I was alone, I didn’t like the feeling. I was also hungry. I walked out of the room and found Jafar and Uche shooting pool in the parlor..
Me: was looking for you…
Uche: howfar madam Tana?
Me: Uche, I dey o…
Jafar: I will be with you soon….
I went to the kitchen, there was no food besides bre-ad, so I made myself a cold cu-p of Milo and took two slices from the loaf.
Jafar: you should be slee-ping instead of eating, its 4am…
He c@m£ inside the room and sat on the be-d..
Me: how did we get inside, last I remembered we were on our way…
Jafar: you sle-pt off…I had to carry you in…
Me: awwww…thank you…
Jafar: something c@m£ up, I would have to leave very soon…when I come back…you can leave for Sagamu..
Me: what c@m£ up?
Jafar: can’t tell you, but we would nee-d all the hands we can get, one of the guys will stay with you here..
Me: okay…
He helped me take the empty cu-p back to the kitchen, then joined me beneath the blanket.
Jafar: when you wake up in the morning, I will be gone..
Me: just come back….for me…
Jafar: sure…
Just as he predicted, I woke up to an empty be-d..the house was eerily silent. I called Toun…
Toun: how are you?
Me: I am good o..i will be going to Sagamu today…
Toun: nice, Ago is dangerous now…
Me: how are you feeling?
Toun: I have dreams of him everytime…
Me: he is in a better place…
Toun: how is Jafar?
Me: he is fine, he told me he loves me…
Toun: awwwww, I like that guy…cultist and all..
***I didn’t even bother correcting her ***
Toun: Timi nko?
Me: I will call him as soon as I hang up..
Toun: he called me last night…said he still loves you and all..
Me: I will try to see him soon….
Toun: I will call you later during the day…
Me: thanks babe…
Toun: bye…
Me: bye…
I called Timi but he didn’t pick up…
I put on one of Jafar’s shi-t and went to the bathroom to brush my teeth….my phone rang, it must be Timi..
It was Jafar..
Me: hey J!
Jafar: Tana, lock up the door to the room, look into my wardrobe, you would see a black shoe box, open it, there is a loaded gun inside…take it to the bathroom and lock yourself in with it.
Me: what is happening?
Jafar: Just do as I say…I am on my way back….
Me: I am scared…
Jafar: I am with you…
He hung up…
My heart was beating fast..i considered bolting outside the house to the nearest public place, but it was risky..i decided to just obey Jafar.
I was at the corner of the bathroom, with the heavy metallic object on my l@p…my phone rang again…
Me: Jafar, I am scared..
Jafar: I am on my way…hope you are in the bathroom?
Me: yes..
He hung up…
The water dropping gently from the tap was coinciding with the beating of my heart…in no time, Jafar will be around and it will be alright…I kept telling myself..
Then I heard the big ban-g!
The guy in the ap@rtment seemed to dash into a room and ran back out…another sh0t was heard. This one shattered the sitting room windows. The guy returned fire…my ears were exploding…I held on ti-ght to the gun..
Then I heard a crash…the front door was broken…there was a brief exchange of fire…then silence…
I was hoping our guy had won, then I heard Eli’s unmistakable laughter…
Eli : Tanatolo…Tanatolo…I know say you dey hear me…
He started knocking on the door of the rooms…
Eli: come out!…
I started praying to God…I was shaking like a fish out of water..
I heard him break open a door; he wasn’t the only one from the foot-steps I heard. Then he broke another door..mine was next….
I wanted to call Jafar but Eli would have heard my voice…
He broke open the door…
Eli: Tana…I know say you dey inside here…na your bag be dis…come out of the bathroom!
I started sobbing…
Then he broke open the bathroom door…
Eli : Ahn..Ahn…princess like you come dey hide inside bathroom…
The gun he was holding was the biggest I had ever seen. The shades he was wearing made his look even deadlier..
Me: Eli…plea-se…don’t hurt me…
Eli: that time don pas-s…
He leveled the gun at me…
Eli: pu-ll your clothes..
Me: no!..
I didn’t know a human being could be so fast, his sma-ck crushed my face..
Eli : Jafar don dey give you mind abi?…i say make you pu-ll your cloth, you dey do shakara?
The gun was laying useless by my side…
I pu-ll-ed off the shi-t, leaving me with my br@ and p@n-ties…
Eli: chai…you go sweet o…after I fu-ck you…I go waste you…
Me: Go to hell!
I tried picking up the gun again, but his leg was fas-ter..kicked my dropped hand…
The pain was unbearable, I screamed…He c@m£ unt©p of me…
Eli: pu-ll your p@n-t!
Me: No!
Eli dropped his gun and dragged started trying to drag down my [email protected] tried to poke his eyes but he moved his head at the nick of time..He sl@pped me ha-rd !
Jafar: Eli, stand up and raise your hands..
The only person more surprised than I was, was Eli…
He turned slowly, his gun was on the floor..but he didn’t raise up his hand…I quic-kly put on Jafar’s shi-t…as I attem-pted to run to Jafar, Eli pu-ll-ed me back and held me in a death grip…
Eli: Jafar…drop your gun…except you wan kill me and Tana together…
Jafar didn’t lower the gun, but Eli started moving with his hand around my n£¢k. He kept me infront of himself as he faced Jafar…As he stepped forward, Jafar stepped backward until we got to the parlour.
There were two dead guys lying awkwardly on the floor..
Jafar: Leave her…and I will allow you go…
Eli: you dey see me as mumu abi?
Jafar: you have my word..
Eli: oya drop the gun and I drop the girl…
Jafar: deal…
Eli smiled…
Jafar: leave her first…
Eli: throw your gun on the floor first..
I heard sounds of cars pu-lling closer to the building. Then it was pandemonium outside…gunsh0ts everywhere…
Eli: I change my mind…E be like say my people don show….Tana goes with me…
Jafar: I go shoot you for here…
Eli: you no fit try am…and you know…
Using his back, he dragged me outside…
Uche’s Hilux was on the driveway…two of Eli’s people were on the sandy floor…gun sh0ts at different p@rts of their b©dy….Uche was also on the floor..his t©p was soa-ked with blood..Eli guy was standing close to him, his gun was pointing at Uche’s head…
Eli: hehehehehehehehehe….i too like my people!
Jafar was alone, defenseless against this beasts…
Eli: change of plans, throw the gun here…kneel down…I promise say I no go kill Tana, but I go kill you…
Jafar’s shoulder dropped…
Me: Jafar…don’t…
Jafar: I have no choice…
I started crying….Eli pu-ll-ed me closer and ran his ton-gue along my n£¢k..
I gave up as Jafar threw his gun to Eli…
Eli : I win….you lose…
Eli bent down to pick the gun, the event that followed happened in less than 3 seconds..
Jafar brou-ght out a gun from the back of his trou-ser. It must have been held in place by his belt but covered by his shi-t. One sh0t rang out that drilled a hole in Eli’s head…his br@in matter splashed over my legs…The second sh0t hit the guy over Uche on the che-st…it brou-ght him down…
I sat down on the floor and screamed. Jafar walked up to the guy and sh0t him on the head…lying infront of me was Eli…the gun-sh0t had f0rç£d his eyes and ton-gue to bulge out…it was a terrible sight..
Jafar c@m£ back and carried me to Uche’s Hilux… He also as-sisted Uche inside, I didn’t know if Uche was dead or alive, but he was motionless and must have lost a lot of blood…
Jafar: I am taking you guys to the hospital…I hope he makes it…
I didn’t bother to answer him…in my head they were all the same..Jafar, Eli and Uche…
I just wanted to disappear..
