One Wrong Turn

Episode 17

It was a beautiful gold watch, worth all the money spent on it. The most expensive watch i have ever owned cost 600 naira, it was a birthday gift from my brother Ighalo.

“Where is your phone? Let’s snap some pictures” Ehis said, stretching his hands towards me, hoping to collect it.

” i don’t have a phone” i replied, feeling
very much embarrassed.

I was practically the only one in my class who did not have a phone. I had requested for one, but my parents insisted i must leave secondary school before owning one.

“for real? Why? Ehis persisted further

“my parents didn’t buy for me” i
stammered,

” which phone will you like to buy?” Ehis asked pointing towards the opposite section where they sell phones.

“anyone will do”

” I know what to get you darling”

He led me to the mobile phone section. Lots of phones were on open display, it would be really cool to own one of these i told myself.

I was busy admiring one phone after another, i hardly listened to the conversation between Ehis and the attendant.

He packaged one of the mobile phones, and handed it over to Ehis.

We walked up to a female cashier, showed her the watch and the mobile phone, after which she wrote a receipt and tore it out.

Ehis brought out him wallet and gave the cashier his atm card.

She took it from him, swiped it across a machine and handed it back to him.

We walked back to the car.

Hannah and Odion had not arrived yet, so we waited patiently for them in the car.

Ehis took my hand, and fastened the wrist watch to it.

I looked at my hand, and smiled sheepishly.

“its beautiful” i said in between a gentle smile.

“just like you Ella, I love you”

Those words had a way of making me feel weak and vulnerable, i began to feel like a princess. Everything seemed genuine to me.

“i love you too”, was my reply, as i turned to avoid his gaze. I have not said those words to anyone before.

Ehis gently lifted my chin, and looked straight into my eyes. I knew that look, i knew what it meant. I had that feeling in my stomach again.

He drew my face closed to himself, and leaned towards me. I shut my eyes in anticipation.

A feeling of ecstasy enveloped me as i felt his soft lips on mine. He started to kiss me in his usual soft and passionate manner.

He parted my lips with his tongue, and inserted it in my mouth. I s—-d on it, without a care.

I felt his hands moving underneath my shirt, towards my b—m. I was too ecstatic and lost to object.

I just wrapped my arms around his neck, enjoying every minute our encounter.

His hands grabbed my b—m through my bra, as i let out an audible m0an. I could feel some wetness between my legs.

This wasn’t me, i felt like a different person.
But the more guilt i felt, the more Hot’ i became. The wetness between my legs increased.

The sound of Ehis’s ring tone interrupted our activity. He broke the kiss, and let go of me. I sat back on my chair, still wishing we would continue.

Ehis brought out his phone, and answered his
call.

“bros, we still dey wait o”

“ok na, quick drop am for school o”

Ehis put his phone back in his pocket and turned towards me again.

“that was Odion, he and your friend are staying a little longer inside, they won’t be coming with us”

“how will she get back to school?” I asked, feeling a little worried.

“he will bring her when they are through”

There was a little silence, i faced the opposite direction looking outside the window.

“so, what about us? We still have 30minutes, I’d love to show you were i stay, can I take you there please” Ehis turned my head around gently.

I wanted to refuse, i knew i have had enough for one day. But i was too weak to say No….i simply nodded my head in agreement. He started the engines and drove off.

A lot of thoughts rushed through my head, as we journeyed to his house. I couldn’t believe this was me. I am taking a very bold step, i do not know how it will turn out.

With this my state of ecstasy, it would take divine intervention to hold myself together. I do not want to lose my virginity just yet, my mother may inspect again.

I resolved in my heart to refuse s-x, but will Ehis let me off after spending so much? I wondered quietly.

What happened that day revealed something else about Ehis.
