Chapter Eighteen
Nahlela
It had been two weeks since I last saw Timi. I had not received any text or call from him and I wasn’t going to be the one to take the first step. I scrolled through our chats again and had that urge to text him but I decided against it. It had been like this for the past two weeks. Every day I was fighting with the decision of if I should text him or not. The cake he sent me was really delicious. The day we had lunch at his place, I think I had mentioned to him that my best type of cake was plain cake and I preferred butter icing. He really did pay attention to detail.
Christmas was just a week away and I had to meet mom to make a list of the things we needed. Every year, mom and dad made a small barbecue part on Christmas night with close friends, relatives and neighbours, but this year they decided to host it on Christmas eve instead. I finally woke up from the bed and started pre

TimiVacation in Nigeria wasn’t a bad idea after all. Aaliyah had come up with a list of places she wanted us to visit. We went to the Lekki Leisure lake, Jos wildlife park, Port Harcourt Tourist beach, The Benin City National Museum, Tarkwa Bay and Terra Kulture. We entered the famous buses which Nigerians called “Danfo” and mom almost had a heart attack but Aaliyah and I were enjoying it way too much. We loved seeing her dramatizing. We had family time and bonded a lot. Honestly, I can’t remember the last time we had time as a family, just us with no outsiders. Mom complained about the strong pillows, old building and a lot of other things but dad asked her to relax and try to make the best out of it and she did. She even surprised us all by saying it was the best vacation she had ever had and she was definitely coming back to Nigeria for a getaway with her husband, no children invited.

TimiIt was Christmas eve and we were getting ready to go to the Samgena’s residence for the barbecue party. I was hoping that mom and dad won’t want to attend, but dad was looking forward to catching up and remembering the good old times with his old friend. Aaliyah initially refused to go but changed her mind at the end. Dad and I finished preparing and were waiting for mom and Aaliyah. Mom was a designer and she always insisted on looking like one. In fact, she always tried dressing up all of us, but I always managed to escape. Dad on the other hand had no choice because he always did everything his wife wanted. Aaliyah didn’t loathe the idea because mom always gave her fashionable dresses for free.The traffic on the way was too much. The road was filled with parents who were going back home from the market after doing last minute preparations, youths who wer

NahlelaI was surprised to see Timi in the kitchen. Even though I had told mom and dad that I had invited hi, I hadn’t. I was even more surprised when he said dad did because dad had not mentioned anything. Coincidentally, his sister was Kadmia’s course mate in the university; we really live in a small world. She tried pretending like she didn’t know me but I didn’t let her. I called her out on it and she finally accepted. I liked her already.For the whole night, I was socialising with guests and making sure they were okay but I kept on avoiding Timi. Even when I spoke to him, I was being formal. I even referred to him as “sir”. I knew it was driving him crazy but I didn’t care. At one point, a white lady whom I had never seen cornered me and complemented my dress. I thanked her and somehow, we started chatting. She told me that she was a designer and she said her daughter was even

TimiI didn’t expect Nahlela to say yes when I asked her to spend the day with me. I didn’t even expect her to reply my text initially. I called Jackson the gym manager and told him that I wanted the indoor pool for the day. I thought of decorating the place with rose petals and candles and all the shit girls loved but I decided not to. It was probably going to send Nahlela running towards the other direction and I never wanted that. By twelve, I was already at her place. I went up and knocked at her door. When she opened, the sight that welcomed me was a beautiful one. She was putting on camouflage bum shorts, with a white crop top and sneakers. On her hair, she had cornrows with her natural hair; no extensions. She looked prettier than before. Mo touch of makeup on her face but every part of it was well defined. This was not the first time I was seeing her in reveal

TimiI woke up when Nahlela and I were entangled in between the sheets but I managed to adjust without waking her up. She looked so beautiful and peaceful in her sleep, like a baby. She was completely naked and her body was enticing and inviting. I wanted to touch and suck her whole body starting from the crown of her head right down to the sole of her feet and of course I wanted to concentrate on some areas. The idea was tempting but I didn’t want to wear her out. When we made love for the first time, I noticed that she was extremely tight. I wanted to stop but she insisted that I go on. I asked her if it was her first time and she tried avoiding the question but I insisted till she finally told me that yes, it was. I wanted to stop but she still insisted. I didn’t mind waiting but when Nahlela sets her mind to something, she doesn’t rest till she accomplishes it. I wanted to talk about this when she woke up; she wasn&

NahlelaI had always been the girl who planned on losing her virginity on her wedding night but I met Timi and those plans went out through the window. When we were making out, he tried to slow things down but I didn’t let him. He asked me if I was sure and I said I was. He still tried taking things slow but I woke up and pulled him to the room. Maybe I had wanted this all along, because he was even on his way back when I opened my door and invited him in. I didn’t tell him that I was a virgin because I didn’t want him to stop. I knew that if I told him, he wouldn’t even touch me, but being the keen observer he was, he started figuring it out and I had no other option than to tell him. His hands were magical. He made me feel things in places I never ever imagined will be sensitive to touch.Having sex with him without defining our relationship was not a wise thing to do but at that point,

NahlelaEverything between Timi and I had been going on smoothly. He finally told me everything I needed to know about himself and I was almost done with the article. We spent most of our free time together and we enjoyed every moment we had together. His family had one more week here but he instead spent most of his nights at my place. We were cuddling one morning in bed when I received a call from a private number. I picked it up and it was his mom. she apologised for not calling me since and she asked if I was free to meet up with her later. I didn’t want to meet his mom without telling him so I covered the speaker and asked if he was okay with it before accepting to meet her. I agreed to meet her at her house at twelve noon. She wanted to send a driver to come and pick me up but I told her not to worry that I knew the house.When I reached the Nkwain’s residence, Mary welcomed me and

TimiI opted to drive but dad insisted that Mr John drive instead. We rented a Sienna mini-van because just Aaliyah had four suitcases and as for mom, there was no need trying to count. She kept on saying the bags were hers and dads but we all knew dads’ tiny suitcase. We finished packing the bags and got into the car, dad sat at the front seat, mom and Aaliyah took the middle seat and I took the backseat. I took my phone out to tell Nahlela we were on the way already but she had sent me a text already.Nahlela: Good morning handsomeTimi: Good morning babeNahlela: Slept well?Timi: Yes, babe. I trust you did tooNahlela: YesNahlela: On your way already?Timi: Yes
