EPISODE 55
Jane noticed Jeffery’s mood since he got back from visiting his sister, he has been in a cranky mood.
“Jeff what is the issue? You haven’t been yourself since you got back from your sister’s place, is everything okay with her?”
“She is getting back together with her husband” he kneaded his temple.
“Your mom told me so, were you able to talk her out of it?”
“No I didn’t, she alre-ady has her mind set on it, and it’s all my fault”
“No it’s not, how could it have been your fault?”
“She has been struggling since after she had her surgery done, and I wasn’t there for her, that’s why that punk jumped on that opportunity to get back together with her”
Jane could see the pain in Jeffery’s eyes, she went over to where he was sitting, and stood behind him, gently placing her hands on his shoulders.
“I think you are being too ha-rd on yourself” she mas-saged his shoulders gently.
“If only I had been doing more than just calling to know how she was doing, if only I insisted she told me how she was feeling, instead of just sticking to her telling me she was okay, then maybe this wouldn’t have happened”
“I’m sure we would find a way around this”
“If that guy does anything to hurt my sister, I’m going to kill him”
“What if he is truly changed?”
“The Desmond I saw today, looks anything but changed, I doubt if he is changed”
“If your sister has made up her mind to stay married to him, then there is little or anything any of us can do to st©p her”
“No, I’m going to st©p that guy from getting any closer to my sister!” He hands balled in a fist.
“Calm down, calm down” Jane continued to mas-sage his shoulders. “How about we just support her decision and__”
“No, no way I’m supporting her to get back with that guy”
“I think you should not fight this, you know how we women can be, the more we are being asked not to do something, the more we would want to do that thing”
Jane c@m£ around, and sat on his l@ps. “So here is what l would suggest; you support her, let her know you have her back, and be re-ady to catch her if she falls”
“And how is this going to help?”
“That way, if something goes wrong along the way, she knows she is not alone, and would not hesitate to tell you about it”

*The next day*
“Thank you so much for meeting with me Jane”
“It’s fine Vivian, how have you been?”
Jane had reached out to Vivian asking that they met. Vivian had insisted on coming over to Jane’s house to meet her.
Jane noticed she was really looking stressed when she walked into the house. Her eyes were looking more sullen, than the last time she had seen her.
“What can I offer you?”
“I would really appreciate a cold soft drink if you have that” she calmly requested.
“Sure, would you like a malt?”
“That would be great” she smiled.
Jane left to get Vivian her drink.
“You don’t look good, how are you doing?” Jane asked Vivian as she placed the drink in front of her.
“Yeah uhm, I’m fine, thank you”
She took a sip of her drink. Jane kept looking at her, she could tell Vivian had a lot on her mind, and nee-ded someone to talk to.
“How is your family?” Jane asked.
“They are fine”
“Seriously how are you Vivian? You don’t look fine at all. How are things with you?”
She kept quiet for a while, before turning to look at Jane.
“My life is falling ap@rt Jane, everything I built is crumbling before my eyes and I’m helpless, my life is in shambles”
“I’m sorry Vivian”
“It’s not your fault, I brou-ght this upon myself, I was so consumed with ma-king a name for myself, that I didn’t realize how I was gradually losing myself in the process”
“What exactly is happening to you?”
“My husband is threatening to divorce me because I kept the knowledge of having a child before we met, away from him, to make matters even worse his opponents are leveraging on that information against him”
Vivian took another gulp of her drink as if it were an alcoholic drink she was trying to drown her pains in.
“What can I do to help? Probably I could talk to your husband on your behalf or something?”
Vivian looked up from her drink, looking so shocked. “Why would you want to do that?”
“Well, I don’t know myself, but I just feel you nee-d help”
“I don’t deserve you Jane” a tear drop escaped her left eye. “I can’t believe you would want to help me, even after what I did to you”
“To err is human, and to forgive is divine, I’m tired of fighting and getting angry over things of the past, they all happened in the past, and I really don’t have a control over that, but what I can actually control is the now, so if there is a way I can help, I would be glad to do so”
“Thank you so much Jane, does that mean you have forgiven me for abandoning you at that orphanage?” She asked in a shaky voice.
“Yes I have Vivian, I hold no grudge against you any more, and really would like for us to build a relationsh!pas a mother and daughter should”
“Oh my God” Vivian stood up, covering her mouth with her hands, tears were alre-ady freely streaming down her eyes. “Are you serious?”
“Of course I’m serious Vivian” she stood, because she was alre-ady becoming teary herself.
“Can I…. Can I hvg you?” Vivian asked in a shaky voice.
“Yes sure” Jane who couldn’t hold herself anymore hvgged Vivian.
“I’m so sorry for everything you had to go throu-gh because of me” she cried, “I’m so sorry you had to go throu-gh the ha-rd sh!pof life alone, without me being there to guide you”
They both cried on each other’s shoulders.
“I’m sorry I wasn’t there to give you all the motherly advice you nee-ded while growing up”
“Well it’s not too late now, you can still give me some advice on pregnancy”
Vivian paused for a second, before she pu-ll-ed away from the hvg, to have a look at Jane’s face.
“Are you trying to say that you are…?”
“Yes” Jane nodded smiling.
“Oh my God, oh my God” she took a step back to look at Jane’s tummy. “Are you really pregnant?”
“Yes I am”
“You are going to be a mother! I’m going to be a grandma!” Vivian screamed our in excitement.
“Yes you are” Jane laughed at Vivian’s reaction.
“Come, come and sit down” Vivian led her back to her seat. And sat on the arm of the couch. “How far gone are you?”
“Seven weeks”
“Oh that means your morning sickness has alre-ady started then?”
“Yes, how did you know?”
“It was same for me”
Vivian and Jane spent the two hours talking about morning sickness and pregnancy cravings, and how to handle the challenges that comes with pregnancy.
Jane felt so happy at how she and Vivian were getting along so well, and talking about almost everything. Though she still had her reservation about her, but she could see her resistance slowly melting away.
That evening as Vivian went back to her home, she decided she wasn’t going to allow her ambition to become the first lady of the state, come in between the relationsh!pshe is trying to build with her daughter, if it means for her to give up on her political pursuit, then so be it.
After all, she forgave him when he cheated on her and had an extra marital affair that ended up resulting in him having a child out of wedlock. She forgave him, and never for once did she threaten to divorce him, instead she took the child in and has been raising him like one of her own.
If he wants to divorce her because she doesn’t want to make a public announcement about Jane being her child, then so be it. She is done dancing to his tune simply because she is scared of him leaving her.
********************
“Mr Dele you can start walking without the crutches, but you would nee-d to start physiothera-py, we will be as-signing a physiothera-pist to you, so you start as soon as possible”
“Thank you doctor, does that mean I can get back to my daily activities?” Dele asked the doctor, but looking at Amaka.
“Yes sure, but you have to be careful not to over them” the doctor answered, oblivious of what was going on between the two.
“Of course I will take things slowly, there is no nee-d to rush, I would take it really slowly…” His eyes were locked with Amaka’s as he spoke. Only both of them un-derstanding what he meant.
Amaka slowly l!çk!ng herl-ips at the thought of the things Dele would do to her.
“All right that would be all, plea-se do drop by at the pharmacy to pick up your medications”
“Thank you so much doctor, we will do just that”
They both left the doctor’s office and picked up Dele’s drugs before they left the hospital.
On their way back, Dele drove with one hand on the steering, while his other hand was on Amaka’s shoulders, ero-tic ally c@r£ss!ngand mas-saging her n£¢k. His eyes not leaving the road for a second.
When they got back to Dele’s place, Amaka decided to prepare something for them to eat, so he could take his medication.
She was slicing some carrots when Dele c@m£ in and sn-ked his hands around her w@!st and whispered; “I really want to make love to you right now, I want to make slow, and pas-sionate love to you”
She abadoned the carrots and leaned into his arms. His warm breath fanning her n£¢k.
“I want you n-ked in my be-d, with your b©dy filling out in my arms, I want to spre-ad your legs and slowly li-ck up all your jui-ces.”
“Oh my God Dele…” Amaka g@sped, as hisl-ips made contact with her n£¢k.
Dele turned her around, and without warning, his mouth swooped down and claimed hers in a slow s-en-sual k!ss. She gave him everything she had to give, and taking his as well. .
They k!$$£d their way from the kitchen to the be-droom. Their hands freely roaming each other’s b©dy.
She slowly took off the dress she was wearing, and was left wearing only a lacy br@, and a matching g-string p@n-t.
“Oh Amaka, you have such a beautiful b©dy” Dele stared at her b©dy, with a dark de-sire in his eyes.
He cu-mpped one of her brea-sts un-der the br@. She was perfect un-der his hand, filling out his hand. “Such a perfect fit” he gro-an ed.
His hands went around, and un-hooked her br@, and the lacy fabric fell to the floor. He bent and claimed one of her n!ppl!s with hisl-ips, gently su-cking and b!owing on her n!ppl!.
“Oh….” She squealed
“You taste so good too”
“Dele plea-se I want you…..” Her words faded into hisl-ips as he k!$$£d her.
“You want me to do what?” He asked, hisl-ips still on hers as he continued to k!ssher s-en-seless.
“St©p talking and make love to me” Amaka started to unbot-tonhis shi-t.
“Easy my love, we have the whole day to ourselves”
