Read Sex With The Devil (Story) Episode 34

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 34

I went back to her place the next day,hoping that somehow, what happened the other day was a mistake or something like that,and what I saw the previous day was exactly what I met again.

“Something is seriously wrong” I muttered to myself.

For the first time in the last four months,I became afraid,not for myself,but for Pretty.

Is she dead? I didn’t ask that,but it was in my thought.

This period was just two weeks before our second semester exams,and try as I may to not think of it,I could not.

This unexplained disappearance of Pretty totally made me a recluse and I didn’t know how else to live again with myself. Everybody noticed it,although they didn’t know what the cause was.

I didn’t go to school for the next eight days,as I set out trying to find out what happened to Pretty.At some point,I even wanted to visit a native doctor after making inquiries and getting the requisite details of such. On one of the days I set out I was going to go there,I had this subtle voice in me telling me that Pretty would not want me to do that.

That day,I weeped!

Many of my course mates started calling me here and there,asking me what is happening and if everything is okay with me,and I replied in the affirmative. Many of them visited me,and physically,you wouldn’t notice that I was actually suffering, but innately,I was totally messed up.

By the tenth day,with no sign of Pretty anywhere,I decided to just get my acts together and read up the little I can for my semester exams.

So much for getting too much attached!

In everything I did onwards,the thoughts of how Pretty would have wanted me to do it almost made me weep everyday,but I tried anyway to not think much about her…But,that’s the impossibility of a lifetime,i simply couldn’t.

My exams went very well and I started making peace with the fact that Pretty is out of my reach and out of my life forever,and that for whatever reason known to her,maybe its for the best..I didn’t want to even give room to the thought that maybe she no longer exists.

With that in mind,I vowed never again to get attached to someone like that again,not even my would-be-wife.

Things started easing back again as it should be for me,and I started concentrating on the admission I was looking for in Absu to read Law(which am doing currently).

On one of the days as I was coning back from Absu after delivering some needed docs to my uncle and her wife to facilitate my admission process,I saw her!

I had stopped at Calabar street and alighted from the car from Absu and entered a keke that normally stops at St.John,from whence I will now trek via the st.Eugene’s road to Omuma road and then to my street. I didn’t want to follow from park so that I will not be tempted into buying something I didn’t budget for!

After coming out from the keke,I started trekking and then I heard my name being softly called “Odii!”.

I thought it was some people calling someone else that bears same name with me,and so I continued walking on without bothering to turn and look.

“Odii!” I heard again almost beside me and I turned,and there she was,as beautiful as ever.

I didn’t know what to say or what to think,but the only think that entered my mind as we stood there was this statement:

” Is this real or am I imagining it?”

She smiled.

“Which one do you want it to be for you?” She asked.

“A temporary lapse in willpower!” I uttered.

I guess she expected me to be defensive now though.

“Can we talk?” She asked me.

“We are talking already!” I replied her.

“Not here..somewhere cool!” She said.

“You are still you,you know?” I asked.

She affirmed.

I obliged her and we entered into one restaurant like that around the corner.

“So?” I asked.

“I know you are angry at me and with me,and it is justified,but I didn’t leave without knowing that you can handle it” she said.

“Okay.” I said.

“And I know that I said I fixed that ish then,but the truth is that it was just temporary. When the walls started cracking again,I knew exactly what I needed to do for good!” She said.

“Which is?” I asked.

“I had to leave.I can’t bear to see you die or suffer unnecessarily over something I could have dealt with!” She said.

“What if I wanted it? What if I wanted to suffer? Nothing good comes easy,and you are good,that’s why being with you its not easy!” I vented my frustration.

“Well you do remember that I told you what I am actually learning in the beginning right?” She said and i affirmed.

“Well,this was it.You were it.Ending every connection I had with you,the person that my whole being loved and couldn’t do without was my ultimate test.I didn’t know this at a time,but now I do.

Promise me that you will forever remember me?” She requested of me.

Truthfully,I was beginning to relapse into the thinking that Pretty was back for good before she made that request.

“I thought you…” I didn’t finish as she just made me understand that that is not the case.

She made me promise her that I will be strong for us,reminding me of our connection and telling me that she just wanted me to know she is okay and going back to her glorified existence in her own reality and rightful plane as a whole new being altogether..

I sat there,staring as she walked out of the place after our little tete-a-tete,waving me the goodbye sign..

Still sitting there as she faded out of my view, my phone rang.I picked it up and looked at the caller,it was Amara.

Immediately I picked the phone and answered the call,saying “hello” in a calm composed way,I heard something like a whisper in my mind saying :

“You deserve all the happiness in the world!”

“Long time Odii” Amara said.

“You forgot me now!” I replied her.

“Its not like that Na!” She said.

“Okay o!” I replied.

“How things with you and……… ?” She asked and asked and talked and talked and so we discussed till we ended the call.

It just meant one thing,I finally confirmed and concluded;Pretty was and is out of my life for good.

The reemergence of Amara,her direct threat gave credence to this my conclusion.

And so,that was how my little love story with Pretty came to an abrupt end and that was how it has never been the same for me again after then.
