One Wrong Turn

Episode 31

As we drove towards his hostel, my mind began to wander. I took a careful look at the surrounding.

It was the first time i ll be outdoors at night. The city was still full if life, people moved about freely as if they ll never sleep.

I thought about my own condition too. What will my parents be thinking right now? Will they be looking for me? . Were will i tell them i slept?

These thoughts ran through my mind, till the gentle breeze of nature blowing in through the window nutured me to sleep.

A slight tap on my shoulder woke me up. I might have been sleeping for a while. The car was no longer moving, we had reached our destination.

I did not know where we were exactly, but the loud music and busy compound gave me an idea. We were in his hostel.

Ehis came out of the car, passed round to the other side to open the door for me.

I came out, feeling sleepy and weak. I was hungry too. It was very cold, all i had on me was my singlet, and a loosed skirt i usually don’t wear outdoors.

Ehis lifted me up and carried me in his arms, as we headed for his room, the same room were i lost my virginity a few hours ago.

As we approached the room, i looked around once again. The compound was still busy at night. Loud music rented the air, just like the day time.

When we passed by people’s windows, i could see silhouettes of people ontop of each other. It was like a mini sodom.

Ehis droped me at his door side, and fumbled with his keys before getting the door opened.
He lifted me once more, and droped me gently on his bed. I culled up immediately, to gather up some heat.
“have you eaten”? He asked, in the most innocent tone possible.
“no, i haven’t had my bathe either” i replied.
Ehis searched through his wardrobe and brought out a shirt, and handed it over to me. The size was pretty big for me, but i didn’t mind. At least it ll keep me warm.

He poured water out of a flask, to make hot tea for me. I sat up as he handed over the cup.

The taste of hot tea brought me a little warmth. I felt more relaxed and comfortable.

I brought out my phone again, and pinged Ruth, thanking her for coming to the rescue.
“make sure your night is worthwhile” she replied.

I knew exactly what she meant, but i couldn’t decide if i wanted to or not. Even if i didn’t, i do not have much of a choice. I was going to sleep in his house. Besides, i had lost my virginity hence there was nothing left to protect.

I was still busy with the chat when Ehis called out to me to join him in the bathroom.
