Bitter Sweetness

Episode 10

Exactly! She had to finish it. This was the
point of no return! I knew it was either I
F***ed her or we got caught recklessly
displaying our nakedness to each other.

Although I knew I was the one who still
owed her, I also was aware that the only
reason she has not seen my boner was
because she has not placed any specific
requests as to that. However, I was now
more lenient and was even more ready to
show her the stick in all its glory.

After the incident of that particular
afternoon, I had failed to get a proper
reaction from her as a result of Uncle D’s
return. He had got in soon after and
Onyinye; with changed cloths, received him
and got along with her expected roles.

I had changed too; returning for the bum
shorts I had earlier removed. I had also
given myself some relief by using the
toilet; for the other reason. (You sure do
know the reason). After he had met with
the guest who has been waiting, he let him
have some money for his little errand and
he was off. Uncle D was at the dining table
eating when I returned from the bedroom.
“Dan”, he started as I made for a seat,
“how will your schedule for the weekend
be?”. “You mean me sir?” I replied, quite
surprised by the question. “Yea. Will you
be doing anything with your office?” he
probed further. I did not get what was
going on so by way of personal
observation, I quickly located Onyinye with
my eyes. She was seated at her usual
position and the furniture that had the TV,
did well to hide her face from her husband.

She was also doing something. She was
nodding her head insistently! “That must
be her preferred answer” I guessed at once.
“Yes sir.” I quickly linked up at once “my
boss who travelled today, said he will be
back on Friday and would want us to make
it to the office for some briefing”. How I
suddenly made myself a full staff with my
office, was something I could not tell at the
moment but I was sure D had bought that.

I had lied to him and Onyinye; the only
‘bad’ mother I had ever known; made me
do it. “That is okay then. I wanted you to
make the trip with me. I will be travelling
on Saturday and will be back Monday
evening or Tuesday morning” explained a
disappointed Uncle D. I now knew what all
this was about. Uncle D had enquired from
Onyinye if I was going to spend my coming
weekend at home, of which she must have
asked him to ask me. And being the smart
lady she was, she chose her current
position so that she could have the edge in
influencing my decision. She wanted me to
stay home and James Bond knew the
reason! And D definitely could not have
seen her getting me to accept that. As for
me, I was sure I dreamt of another time
with her and coupled with the fact that she
was going to be alone with me but I
completely doubted that I would have ever
remembered to consider that while giving
an answer to Uncle D. She had plotted her
map well and I just had to look forward to a
very swell time with her in the absence of a
feared husband! Her eyes had returned to
that same book she had read countless
times all day; she was smart; very very
smart.
