She Pulled Her Pants

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 4

felt I had struck jackpot. My heart leaped and to be

candid with you guys, I saw it performing acrobatics.

Chei, I was a circus performer at heart. I was busy

smiling when..

“Attai, are you there?”

I heard that beautiful voice again. You know that

feeling na? When after walking under a scorching

sun, someone gives you very chilled pure-water to

drink. You know how you will sip the water little by

little to preserve it. That was how I wanted to

preserve the moment. I was savouring each sound of

her voice.

“I am but my spirit, soul and body transformed by

cosmic powers is seated close to you. Angel, your

voice can make a man do things that will make the

world question him later”

I dropped that one. Seriously, I did not know when I

said that. It just came out.

“You are flattering me again ba. Okay, bye”

And did I beg her not to drop the call? Nope. I know

say I don get her and nothing she fit do again. She

was already within my grip and me, when I hold

something wey dey priceless, to leave am dey like

big work. I punched the air and screamed, my hand

holding my mouth tight. I was boiling over with joy.

“You are celebrating the devil”

My colleague who I believe had been eaves-dropping

my conversation suddenly spoke out.

“I will ask God for forgiveness later”

I replied him. He shook his head and went ahead to

tell me the story of a man who said he would give

his life to Christ at the last minute. He ended up

dying in an accident. His head was cut off from his

mouth upward. Now that story scare me, na so I

open my mouth like say I wan breath, sharpaly

exclaim silently sha:

“God forgive me.”

See, na normal thing to pursue woman o, but men, I

dey always fear make e no be when I dey give do’g’gy

style to babe na im trumpet go blow. How I wan

carry explain? Na utmost ffuucckking for hell be that

na and I believe say the puussyy go be chuku-chuku.

(Una don watch that Liberian girl testimony na)

“See you. Just continue for your misdeed”

He said.

“Your hell-fire go hot pass my own”

I shouted back at him.

Office through out that day was fun as I did things

that made other workers to stare at me. If you wey I

senior just say,

“Attai, abeg help me fetch water make I drink”

Normally, I go use bad eye look then warn you make

you no ever make that mistake again. For where.

This time, na speed I dey carry go fetch the water. I

dey do all those things just for time to run but the

time self just stiff die like say earth dey find am

difficult to rotate again. Pardon my pidgin. I know

say e dey hard una read sometimes.

I waited till closing time, 6:00pm. First time I did not

inform my boss I was leaving. I just went to where

my bag was kept. Opened it, sprayed my chinese

perfume for body. Entered into the restroom,

looked at my face and spoke some words of

encouragement to me. You know how they say, if

you don’t talk to yourself, who will?

I walked outside, entered the lift and stopped at the

last floor. From there I proceeded to walk to the

bus-stop. I no get car so babes, make una know that

one now. I had gotten to NNPC towers when my

phone rang. I looked at the screen, it was the same

number. I quickly picked it. I waited and the person

at the other end waited too. Sensing she wanted to

play with me, I opened my mouth…

“Only the sound of your breath is lifting me up here.
