Continued from last week.
I woke up to the sound of my phone ring in the evening. I had been sleeping all day since Chioma left for Ogudu and had completely forgotten about the outing with Collins. “Who could this be?” I thought to myself. It was an unknown number and I usually don’t pick such. I hesitated briefly but eventually decided to pick up.
“Hello,” I answered.
“Hi sweetheart, are you ready for an exciting evening with Pablo” I recognized the voice, it was Ade and Pablo was his ‘game name’ not that I found it to be intriguing in any way.
“Um… exciting evening? Where are we going, Collins?” I asked still sleepy but amusement at his antics.
“How did you know it was me?” he asked surprised that I recognized his voice.
“Ade there’s no one else I know that talks in such unserious manner plus you called yourself ‘Pablo’.”
“Well now that you know, put on something lovely sweetheart, I’ll be at your place in thirty minutes to pick you up.”
“I’ll put on something when you tell me where we are going,” I said adamantly.
“You know what? Don’t wear anything if you like, just bring your lovely self and let the rest happen”
“So let me get this straight, you want me to go out with you naked?” I asked sarcastically
“Not entirely naked. But I can buy you a new dress on my way if you don’t mind?”
“Are you for real? Then I don’t mind at all” I replied in excitement.
How could anyone pass up such a gesture? A new dress wasn’t a bad idea even though I didn’t plan to go anywhere at this time of the night.
“Sure thing, let me guess, you wear a size ten?”
“Close, but I wear a size twelve and my favourite colours are black and blue” I quickly replied before he changes his mind about buying the dress.
“Okay, I’ll pick out a really lovely one” he replied confidently “something that fits that your fine figure”
“See you in thirty minutes then,” I said, as I hung up and hastily went into the bathroom.
I have to admit I never liked Ade that much, but there was something unpredictable about him that I admired. And this was a night that would change my life forever.
He arrived about an hour later and handed me a rose and a box with the dress inside. It looked really expensive. I quickly put it on as we were already running late; it was short but a perfect fit.
“Wow!” he exclaimed in amazement. “You look beautiful.” He said with his eyes wide open.
“Thanks, I like it and you have a very good taste in fashion. It must be really expensive.”
“You’re worth every dime sweetheart.”
“Thanks for the dress and the flowers are lovely,” I said in appreciation as he opened his arms wide for a hug and I obliged him.
We headed for the party but on our way, decided to stop briefly at a spot close to my house to buy some codeine and mollies to spice things up.
“Chioma told me you like to have fun, is that true?”
“Well, I consider myself to be a fun loving girl I guess,” I said wondering where the question was heading
“You know I’m only asking because I want to be sure what you indulge in, right?”
“I’d love anything that can spice up this night and make it much more explosive if that’s what you’re asking.”
“Now that’s my kind of girl, I’ve got a treat for you,” he said as he brought out a sachet of Rafenol and my eyes lit up.
While at it, we decided to order drinks from the bar. We were both drinking and having a fun conversation when without provocation Collins put his hand between my thighs and began to slide inwards.
