"Chase him! Don’t let him get away! Make sure you take him down!”
Tanya sat up as she heard the approaching feet and commotion as a group of men seemed to be chasing someone.
“Oh great! She sniffled and added the mangled tissue paper in her hand to the growing pile on the passenger seat. ” Just my luck! A girl can’t even wallow in her misery in peace? Is it too much to ask for a moment of solitude?” She shouted to the roof of her car and then quickly shut her mouth when she saw a man dart out of a corner, running full speed towards where her car was parked in the dark away from the streetlights.
Tanya mistakenly flashed her lights while she was fumbling around for her phone on the console and quickly switched it off back but the guy had looked right at her in that fleeting moment.
Tanya was taken aback by the sheer terror on his face.
“Nobody should be that afraid” then she shook her head when she realized belatedly that he was not just intending to run past her. He was running to her!
“No, no, no, buddy. Keep going! Keep going!” She said fervently to herself as she saw him getting closer to her car with intent. As if, if she recite it enough, it would happen. “Don’t stop, please, just keep going!”
She realized belatedly that her windows were rolled down and she was trying to reach for the button in the dark when the guy got to her.
Tanya screamed shortly, hating the girlish sound even as her subconscious registered how hot the guy was.
“Damn, he is so hot!” She thought as she shouted at him. “What the heck? Get….”
“Please, save me” he shouted in a gravelly voice.
“What are you talking about? Save you from what?” She shouted back at him and was answered almost immediately as four burly men with murder in their eyes rounded the corner the guy had come out from. The streetlight shone on their faces as they looked around obviously in search of the guy. The menace in their countenance made Tanya shrank back involuntarily against her seat.
“Those…those men are after you?” She asked in a whisper like they could hear her from three lanes away.
“Please! Please!! Please!!! Just get us out of here! They would kill me if they found me here! And they won’t spare you as well” He pulled urgently at the car door as he looked back to check if the men had seen him yet “Just open the damn door!”
“What? I can’t just…..” She saw the desperation on the guy’s face as one of the men spotted him near the car and then shouted to the others “The motherfucker is there!”
Tanya knew that she would certainly regret her next move but she unlocked the car. The guy got in, shouting at her “Please, go, go go!“. Tanya gunned the engine and pulled out while he was still getting in.
“Jesus! I am going to kill somebody. Are you okay?”
“Just go! I am fine!” He snapped.
Tanya froze when she saw that the approaching men were not intending to leave the road; they were instead getting together to block the car’s path.
“What are you doing? Get going!” The guy snapped, fear evident in his voice.
“Don’t you shout at me, you idiot! What do you mean by ” Get going?” I should simply run over them, yeah?”
“Yeah,” he said simply.
Tanya looked at him like he had lost his mind then she voiced it “You are crazy!”
“They won’t stop coming!”
“No, I am not deliberately hitting anything or anyone a day to my wedding or ever! Not for you or anyone!”
“You are getting married?” He looked at her in surprise then back at the road. One of the men had gotten to the car and was hitting the car with his big fist even while in motion as he tried to stop them.
Tanya saw one of the approaching men bring out a shiny object. “Is that….”
“Yes, a dagger and he wouldn’t hesitate to use it on me, well it is us now. You have to run them over or at least attempt to or the one behind us now would probably smash the window in no time at all”
“What do you mean by us? There is no us! Get out of my car now and go sort out whatever it was that you have with them! ” Tanya yelled at him.
“I will be dead then and I would rather not. Also, you won’t be spared as well, these people don’t leave behind witnesses”
“What?” Tanya swallowed hard, involuntarily slamming on the brakes.
“I am sorry,” the man said to her, and before Tanya could reply, he put his hands over hers on the steering wheel, taking control. He was bent sideways on the passenger’s seat and Tanya quickly pressed the button that depressed her seat back. She scrambled out of his way after removing her seatbelt to get to the back seat. He gave her a brief grateful look and gunned the engine
He hit one of the advancing goons while the other one quickly scrambled out of the way.
Tanya heard a pinging sound behind her as something penetrated her rear window and she looked up in time to see something whizzed by the guy’s ear, breaking the front glass in its exit.
“Was that….”
“Yes, a bullet. They are not joking at all!” The guy informed her hurriedly “Please stay down as you are”
“Oh my God! Oh my God! We are going to die! A day to my wedding and I am going to die in my car with a random guy;?! This sure would make a great headline” she panicked.
“No one is dying today if I have anything to say about it so please stop worrying about the fact that you wouldn’t look perfect in your morgue shot” Then he looked back as he saw something in the side mirror “Shit, that was what he went back for!”
“What? What who went back for?” Tanya asked anxiously. With her heart in her mouth and the thought that she might end up dead after all.“There were five of them! Been wondering where the fifth one was!” He shouted.“What did he…..oh!” She said as she saw headlights flashing at them from behind “He went to get the car! Great! What would my mother say?! She would be so heartbroken! Oh my God, I am not even twenty-four yet. I can’t die before I clock thirty. That just makes no sense” she rambled on in panic as she tried to envision her parents face when they told them that she was no more.“Damn! They are gaining upon us! Stay down! He shouted as he bent down close to the steering wheel barely seeing where he was going. Another bullet whizzed by where his head had just been then another struck the fender, then another, and another. The men seemed intent on riddling the car with bullets till it stopped.Tanya flinched with each striking sound as she tried not to scream out loud.“The iro
“Sanmi, please I need a room!” The man said urgently to the guy at the counter after scanning the faces of the people who are inside. The guy tossed him a key urgently with a raised brow.“I will explain later, Let’s go,” he said to Tanya then turned back to the guy who was looking at her curiously “I am not here, Sanmi,” he said to the guy meaningfully.The guy nodded without a sound, giving Tanya a respectful nod.The room was a simple one according to Tanya’s standards. It was a far fetch from what her management team would have ever thought of getting for her. It consists of a bed, a table and a chair and a cable tv set up facing the bed. The toilet/slash bathroom door was open and Tanya could see how small it looked.“Two people would need to stand or walk sideways in there for them to fit or crawl in fact,” she thought in amusement as she envisioned someone crawling on the probably grimy floor just so.Tanya sat heavily on the chair as she thought of what had just happened. Some
"Wow! What is this? What is going on?" Ayodele thought fleetingly as the bundle of energy in his arms came on to him with fervour. Ayo had always prided himself as a man's man through and he wasn't about to complain about his luck.It wasn't every day that a man goes from narrowly escaping death to ending up in the arms of a crazily beautiful woman, all in the space of an hour.He was bowled over with the hint of desperation in the way she was tearing at him yet he matched her fervour without backing down. Buttons flew as they tried to get a better hold of each other.They rolled on the bed, one trying to take control and the other not seceding. The temperature in the room heightened and the staccato whirring from the ceiling fan was barely sufficient as steam rises off them.Ayodele swore as his tight belt made it impossible for her to unbutton his fly. He sat up, capturing her mouth in a steaming kiss as he hurriedly unbuckled his belt.Tanya packed back her hair away from her face
He moved to the sink to fill the glass."Well, I hate to put anything to waste. Anything at all, especially when that thing could be useful," she said, licking her lips like she was tasting it."Damn, you really would enjoy that, won't you?" He said as he moved back to the bed to offer her the water."Hmmm hmmm," she purred. Looking at him seductively from beneath her lashes as she stretched her hands slowly to take the glass from him."You are thirsty, ain't you? He asked."You bet, very thirsty" she replied with a hot look that made Ayo almost lose it."We have to get some water in you then"He moved the water out of her reach and drank it, keeping some in his mouth as he climbed the bed. He captured her mouth in his, slowly trickling the water into her mouth.Tanya felt like she would explode. She had no idea that a man could ever make her feel like this. She moaned into his mouth as the water that had been warmed from his mouth made her feel like she is taking him in her mouth "I
Ayodele growled silently “Damn, she just had to say it,” he thought as his anger rose and he flung his hands as he faced her again. “A quick fuck? That was what I was? Wow, how nice of you, empress, to choose me, this peasant for this amazing task” he said sarcastically. “Are you satisfied with my performance or you would like a recap while you think of the man you are about to work down the aisle with, in fact, why don’t we extend this arrangement to after your wedding too? I mean, a woman with your appetite wouldn’t be satisfied with an impotent man in her bed” he said, deliberately being mean to cover the hurt he felt growing in him at that moment. She looked at him like he was crazy “Who said anything about him being impotent?” Then she laughed in a demeaning manner, at least that was how she sounded to him as she turned to face him forgetting that she was still totally naked all the way down except for her bra which she had put on or maybe she just didn’t care. “Awwn, poor Ayo
“Are you really at this moment comparing my stamina to that of your hubby-to-be? Madam? And as far as I can remember, it seemed like you found me lacking too” he repeated, trailing his hands down her arms, then he repeated the routine slowly, diverting her attention from his hands as he kissed her sensitive ear lobe. He palmed her breast so suddenly that she gasped. “I am not….aargh…comparing anything. Definitely……..hmm…...not finding you lacking in any way” she arched her back into him as his bulge thickened and she could feel it nudging her ass. “Your stamina is…..eerr..nice enough” He gave a short laugh “And the insult continues. Nice enough? Should I show you again just how nice enough my stamina could be then?” He turned her swiftly to face him and the ferocious look she saw in his eyes made her breath back up. She remembered vaguely hearing somewhere that a man felt threatened when their prowess is underestimated and they just want to prove themselves. This sure could be noth
Ayo collapsed on her and he felt her body shaking violently. At first, he thought it was from her orgasm but then the shaking continued. He rolled off her on his back, staring at the ceiling for a while to get his strength back. “That….that…was beyond nice,” he said to her but she didn’t respond. He looked sideways at her and saw that her body was still shaking. “Tanya?” No response He rose on his elbow and turned her over with his other hand. She was crying! “What happened? Tanya. Did I hurt you? I am so sorry. Was I too rough with you?” He asked anxiously. She looked up at the compassion in his eyes and her tears increased as she started sobbing more loudly. Ayo gathered her in his arms rocking her as she seemed to want to compose herself yet the tears kept coming. He kissed her forehead, her cheeks, then her nose as he rocked her with worry on his face as she continued crying like she had a lot bottled inside. “I am so sorry, I am sorry” he repeated as he rocked her gentl
Tanya quickly opened the door forgetting her almost naked state. She ran to him, fluttering her hands around his face. "Oh, my God! Oh my, I am so sorry. I wasn't expecting you there. I. Oh God, your head!" She patted his face and his head. The pain that exploded in Ayodele's head made him remember the cartoonish stars that rotate around Tom's head in Tom and Jerry's cartoon movies that his cousin loved so much. He closed his eyes to steady himself as he gingerly touched the side of his head to check if blood was coming out or not. The way he felt at the moment made it seem like the head had split into two. "Damn," he thought when he removed his hand from his head and he saw a little blood on his hand. Nothing to worry about though but he couldn't help but be amused at the way Tanya's eyes widened when she saw the red moisture on his hand. "Oh, my. You are bleeding" she exclaimed. He wanted to tell her that it was nothing to worry about but then he thought of how this could work
