A Story By Stanley Oluwatosin

¤¤¤

From a not so far angle, khole and Mi mom ran toward me with Khole shouting my name all the way.My mom enveloped me in a tight hug immediately she got to me, i could not help but appreciate her for always been there and not making me miss a mother love.”I never knew you are a good lips sucker little sis” Khole said, interrupting my hug with mi mom.Mi mom released me from the hug and hitted khole playfully while i shyly

covered my eyes with my hands.”Yea, shes a great kisser” Kelvin said teasingly and we all laughed. “Congratulations to both of you” Mi mom said as she took turn to hugged kelvin and I.

“So you all tricked me?” I asked and khole said “This is just the beginning” with her wicked laughter.

“And I am part of the surprise as well” someone said from behind.

I quickly turned back and i saw Mi dad walking toward me with a beautiful bounquet.

“Woah!” I screamed as he came closer to me.”To my princess. Congratulations baby” Mi dad said as he handed the bouquet over to me.I happily collected the gift from Mi dad and hugged him.

“Congratulations and happy birthday sister inlaw” I heard another voice behind me and i released myself from Mi dad’s arm.

“You too?” I screamed as i saw Josh.He smiled and handed me a pretty rose flower.I hugged Josh and thanked him.

Just when I thought have had enough surprise for the day i heard a not so familiar voice shout “And to the most beautiful daughter inlaw in the world! I say a big congratulation and happy birthday”.

I turned to the direction the voice came from and suprisingly saw Kelvin’s mom doing some local dance from afar.”what?!! Even your mom is here?” I asked kelvin, but he only smiled as a response. As a sign of respect, i walked toward kelvin’s mom and met her half way.She hugged me so tightly and shower prayers on me.I felt nothing but love from her.Kelvin’s mom stretched out alittle box and said “For you dear, open it”.

I looked at kelvin to see if he would give me a clue of what could be in the box but he only looked else where.I gently opened the box and only saw a key in the box.I looked up at kelvin and his mom with confusion but none of them gave me a clue.

They all screamed “Surprise” and before i could say jack, i saw a brand new blue ROLL ROYCE speeding toward my direction.That was my dream car and i could identify it from miles away any day.

“OMG tell me this is a joke” I said as tears ran down my cheek.”Its is not my dear, this is a little gift from me”. Kelvin’s mom said and she enveloped me in a hug. Immediately the car was parked, i ran to it and jumped in excitement.I opened the door and surprisingly saw Jordan in my car.He smiled at me and said

“And i am suppose to be the last surprise of the day”.

” OMG Jordan, I thought you were gone?” i asked.

Jordan came down from the car and handed me a big teddy bear with the inscription “Jordan Cares”.

I hugged Jordan and thanked him before rushing into my car.While checking my car, my only wish was for my mom to be present and see her little girl been showered with love.I came down from the car and composed myself to present a thank you speech but all i could do was cry.Kelvin came to me and took me into his arm.

“Seal it with a kiss!!” khole said and others joined in. Kelvin bent to kiss me but i shyly looked away. Everybody continued to request for a kiss and i eventually gave in when kelvin covered me with his hand.

Music was played and the night ended on a happy mood.I went back home with the status of a wife to be, a happy girl and a brand new car!

****

The following day was sunday, i saw the need to thank God so i went to church early.I was on my way from church after service when Mi mom called to inform me that kelvin was waiting for me and I hurried back home.

I met kelvin and Mi dad chatting when i got back, i apologized for keeping kelvin waiting and took him to my room.

“Virgin Mary, you planned on sleeping in church?”

kelvin said immediately i closed the door.I told him yes and we both laughed.His words were ment to be a joke but the word Virgin caught my attention.”Maybe he thinks am a virgin” i thought and i felt the urge to tell kelvin about my sex life with Jordan.

“Kelvin, Theres something i have to tell you” I said.

Kelvin focused his gaze on me and said “go on princess” I was alittle uncomfortable but i had to tell him.”Ehm i think its time you know that i am not the virgin girl you use to know” I found myself rushing the words out. “What?!!” kelvin exclaimed. “was it Jordan?” he asked and i noded.I knew the news was a sad one but i was not expecting him to take it too harsh.I looked at kelvin and all i saw was anger as sweat gathered on his forehead.

“You cannot do more than a dead fly!” we heard Mi mom shout from the livingroom, interrupting us. This followed by a loud word battle.

We both rushed to the livingroom and i got the shock of my life.This was the last person i expected to see. IT BEEN EIGHT GOOD LONG YEARS!

Myself and kelvin rushed to the livingroom and i got the shock of my life. It been eight good years.

“Uncle mike…?” I murmured not sure if my eyes were deceiving me. He turned back to face me and that was when i confirmed what i saw.

My uncle rushed at me angrily and pointed a finger into my face as he said

“Look at you, look at yourself Nancy. You let this woman here control you. For more than eight good years now, you left your father house. Your home Nancy! And you feel comfortable living else where. Can’t you see that you are nothing but a bas***d? You think you parent will be proud of you wherever they are? Am sure my sister will be weeping over you. What do you think will….”

“Oh shutup Mike, you and i know you practically made her leave. You don’t have to make the innocent girl feel bad because of your greed. Am sure you are here for something, only heaven knows what. Probably you and your stupid wife has spent all the money my brother and his wife worked hard for and you are here just to save your hungry stomach. God punish the lunatic that let you into my house in the first place”

Mi mom shouted, interupting uncle Mike.

“Dont you ever refer to my wife has stupid” Uncle mike shouted back, as he rushed at Mi mom.

“And if i do? Call a spade a spade mike. Everybody knows that your wife is stupid” Mi mom shouted back and uncle mike almost attacked her.

Mi dad and kelvin rushed at him and held him back but i did not move an inch.

“Please mike, lets settle this amicably” Mi dad said has he held my uncle and led him to a chair.

After everybody had took their sit, i slowly settled in a chair.

“Now mike, tell me what do you want?” Mi dad said.

Uncle mike cleared his throat and said “Thank you for been a sensible man. To save our time i will go straight to the point. The point is that we all know that Nancy is my late sister’s only child and Nancy here is ripe for marriage. I am not here because of myself but because of the family. The family sent me here so that i will inform and warn your wife not to think that she can take all the money and items that will be paid on Nancy as bride price because according to custom and tradition, its belongs to the family of the child, i mean the two family, not one person.”

“I knew it! I knew you are here just for your selfish interest” Mi mom shouted and mi dad signaled to her to be calm.

Mi dad faced my uncle and said “Well Mike, have heard all that you have said and i want you to know that we do not intend to take a penny from Nancy’s bride price as well. Just maybe you do not know, i have enough to feed a nation. If you look closely, you will notice a young man in our mist. Am happy to inform you that he is Nancy’s husband to be and once a he is ready, we will come to the family house for the wedding rites”

Uncle mike fixed his gaze on kelvin and he said in a loud voice ” I think i know you.. Yes! Are you not the house boy that worked for us back in the day? Osanubua! Heavens save me from disgrace! Nancy, after all this years, after all the good and classy upbringing, you are ending up with a slave boy! A slave boy! How will he be able to afford the long list? Tell me how?”

I did not utter a word, i wanted to face my uncle and tell him that the slave boy of yesterday is the president son but i decided to shock him with the news later.

“I have heard enough from you! Am sure people like you know nothing about love, anything you do is just because of your greed. Now leave my house before i loose my temper” Mi mom shouted and uncle mike rose to his feet. Uncle mike promised thunder and brimstone as He left the the house. He did not stop to shout until he entered the Hilux he brought and zoomed off. I recognized the car as one of my mom’s favourite.

***

We returned to the livingroom immediately Uncle Mike left. Mi mom apologized to Kelvin and promised to handle the situation while mi dad told me not to worry about a thing. I could not help but feel lucky to have a family. Kelvin thanked my foster parents and took his leave few minutes later.

***

I was not able to talk to kelvin about my virginity status because of uncle Mike’s interference so i decided to call him later in the night for better explanation. I called Kelvin’s line repeatedly, the line went through but he did not accept my call. At first i thought he might be bussy but when i sent him an Sms and he did not reply, i concluded that he might be asleep. I said my prayer and was about to sleep when my phone started to ring. I rushed at my phone thinking it was kelvin but it ended up to be a call from Jordan. I accepted the call and said “Hello”.

“Did you tell kelvin that i took your Virginity with force?”

Jordan said immediately i accepted his call without responding to my greetings.

“Oh My God” I murmured as i remembered how mad kelvin was when i told him. I really never expected him to take it that far.

***

I knew kelvin was angry because of my virginity but i never expected him to take it that far.”You say what?” i asked Jordan again.

“Honestly i do not know the problem with you guys but is he suppose to accuse me of taking your virginity with force?Letting go of you in the first place is tearing my world apart,he doesn’t have to rub salt on my injury.Just so he knows,am regretting the fact that i let go already and am not starting a love battle yet because i do not want to go back on my words.Let nobody take my gentility for stupidity or else i won’t think twice about bringing up the old me”.Jordan said and i could feel how hurt he must have felt.I had nothing else to do than to apologies to Jordan.I gently picked my words and apologized on behalf of kelvin.Without much argument,Jordan accepted my apology and we got talking again.We talked for awhile, before i finally suggested we call it a day.

After ending Jordan’s call, i called kelvin,his line went through but he did not accept my call.I opted to sleeping instead of getting worried about him,since it was obvious that his actions were intensional.I went to bed with my engagement ring close to my heart and a heavy heart.

***

At exactly 6:00am,the sound of my alarm woke me up. After saying my prayer, i dressed for work and had breakfast with my foster parent before leaving.

I got to work at exactly 7:30am.While working down to my department,i noticed some of my co workers were looking at me in a strange manner but i did’nt care,i only greeted them and left.

I did not leave my office until lunch time, when i saw the need to refill my stomach.I tried kelvin’s line without success before leaving for the cafeteria.

“Congratulations Nancy” I heard a voice behind just when i was about to place my order.I turned and saw Dtobs ( a co worker).”For what?” I asked.”Is that not an engagement ring on your finger?” He said and i just replied with a nod.”The ring must have cost the dude his life savings, he must really be inlove with you ” dtobs said as he examined the ring and i smiled in response.”This worth celebrating, my bills are on you for lunch” He said and i agreed.That was when i realised everybody must have been looking at me strangely because of the ring. I had my lunch and left after paying for myself and dtobs.

Time checked 3:00PM.My table was free from work, so i decided to sign out and go over to kelvin’s apartment.

****

I was welcomed by the security men at kelvin’s residence and Through them i got to know that kelvin was home all day.I went into the house after giving them tips.

There was no sign of kelvin in the living room so i went to his bed room but he was’nt there as well.I dialed his number and eventually traced him to the kitchen with his phone ringing tone.

“There you are” i said when i saw kelvin in the kitchen.

“Hi” kelvin said without facing me.I walked up to him and hugged him from behind but he did not respond to my greetings.I released myself and said “like seriously? You still mad at me and thats why you’ve not been accepting my call? You even called Jordan?Tell me whats the problem?All this show for virginity?”

Kelvin faced me and said “You call this a show? Do you know how painful it is that am not going to have you first? Its like a shame and it makes me question if all the steps have been taking is right. Its better to go back before its too late”.

I felt my eyes darken when Kelvin ended his statement.

“Are you kidding me?” I asked with little force.Kelvin gave no reply to my question and i decided to leave because one thing i can never be is a lady without pride.I grabbed my bag and matched out.I was almost at the kitchen door when kelvin gripped my hand from behind.He made me face him and said “Am so sorry sunshine.Its just that have always had the fantasy of deflowing my future wife first and when you told me you are no longer a virgin, my dream was shattered.Just now i realise that you mean more to me than the so called Virginity and my dream. Please forgive this once”

I only looked else where with a frown on my face. Kelvin held my face and said “Am waiting honey,am sorry”.

I noded and he said “Are you sure am forgiven? I can kiss you now, cos thats what have been dreaming about?” I noded again and kelvin brought his lips on mine. At first i did not respond to the kiss but with time, i could no longer fight the passion. If Jordan was a good kisser, kelvin was the best.At a point my legs could no longer carry me due to the sweet sensation running through my vein.Kelvin lifed me off my feet and i climbed on him. He gently placed me on the long table in the kitchen and lifted my blouse.Kelvin slowly kissed me on my belly botton and gently moved up to my b**bs not leaving any part untouched.I could not help but moan out his name as he worked on my bra.”You have to apologies to Jordan” I managed to say.

“Anything for the queen of my heart” he said as he gave my b**bs freedom from my bra cup.

_____

Kelvin gently licked around my b**bs before he settled on my Tips. He would tease me abit and suck me hard. With my fingers buried in his hair, i would kiss his hair and moan out his name.

Everything felt like never before, kelvin was just so perfect. Just when i thought i was at the peak of it all, kelvin spur me around and slowly got rid of my dress and i was left with just my underwear.

Kelvin brought his head up at me and made his lips meet mine. He looked deep into my eyes and said “I love you Nancy…”

Without been told, i knew he was been sincere. I kissed him back and told him i love him just as much as he do.

We tongue kissed as kelvin worked his way into my p**sy. Before i could say jerk, kelvin’s head was buried between my legs. I felt so aroused as he used his tongue on me, if Jordan’s mouth action could heal the sick then kelvin’s could wake the dead, he was just so good at it. With kelvin’s head in between my legs, i could not help but feel the urge to feel him inside of me. I held his head and made him look up at me. I slowly kissed kelvin on his cheek and said “I need you inside of me”.

I could see a smile spread on kelvin’s face, as if he had been waiting to get a go ahead from me but i was proved wrong when kelvin pulled me up and took him into his arm.

“Am not in this with you because of sex, i just want to proof to you that nobody can love you like i do. Every touch and every kiss is an expression of my love baby. Have said this before and am saying it again, I LOVE YOU nancy. Heaven knows i really do” Kelvin said and he squeezed me in his arm, holding me so tight.

I was dumbfounded for a moment, i could not help but feel true and genuine love. If only Jordan was like kelvin, my moment of weakness would’nt have result into me loosing my virginity. Though i thought i would not regret my past actions but with the way kelvin treated me, i could not hide the fact that i realised my mistake a bit too late.

“Lets go to my room Miss” Kelvin said, bringing me out of my thought. Kelvin kissed me on my forehead and carried me like a new bride. He had his lips on my nose as he took me to his room. I watched as kelvin gently placed me on his bed and laid beside me. He covered us with the blanket and held me from behind. I could not help but feel loved as i felt his warmth. With the love the showered on me, i felt like the only girl in the world. Saying am lucky will be an understatement. Everything i felt was just so priceless.

***

“Babe, open your eyes. its getting late” i heard kelvin’s voice from my sleep. I slowly opened my eyes and that was when i realised i must have been out for awhile. Kelvin embraced me from behind and slowly kissed my ear lobe. The event that went down between us appeared in my head and I could not help but smile as i fully turned to kelvin. “How do you feel?” kelvin asked as he kissed my neck. I chuckled and told him i felt good. Though it was an understatement but i had learnt not to let out too much of my feelings. “I can make you scream my name again just the way you love to” kelvin said with a smile, revealing his charming dimple in the process. I playfully pushed him to the bed and went to the bathroom, giving him the middle finger. I heard kelvin’s loud laughter has i ran a cold shower.

Kelvin got my dress and helped to put them on me when i came out of shower. It was late already so i did not bother to a apply makeup.

I stopped at kelvin’s mom apartment before i left, i showed my gratitude for the ride she got me and i promised to stop by more often. Kelvin’s mom welcomed me warmly and told me to treat her like my mom. She made me had dinner with her before i left and once again, i felt so lucky and was grateful for the people around me.

I left kelvin’s apartment some minutes past eight. Kelvin took me home in his car and one of his guard drove my car.

****

Time checked 8:50pm. Kelvin parked in front of my house. I was about to alight from his car when he held my hand and looked into my eyes. Kelvin ran his hand over the ring on my finger and said “Am changing this ring soon miss. Get ready to bear my last name. Mrs. Kelvin Nancy….”

I could not help but burst into laughter. Kelvin kissed me on my forehead and got out of the car. He opened the door for me and i came down from the car, feeling like a princess.

Kelvin followed me into the house and greeted my foster parent before he left. Though we were together all day, i was a bit sad when he left.

I rushed to my room and bounced on my bed immediately kelvin’s car was out of sight. I brought my engagement ring to my face and i could not help but smile at the thought of walking down the aisle with Kelvin. Everything felt so real and unique. I wished i could make time fly.
