The Runs Girl

Episode 36

The babalawo cleared his throat and smiled to himself
after hearing all I had to say.
He had recognised my face the moment I stepped in
and had listened attentively to the reason why I came.
“You didn’t come again for the DO AS I SAY POWER?”
He asked looking at me.
“Baba sorry no vex,” I apologised shaking my head.
“Dat aspect of drinking sp€rm no gree me do abeg.”
I didn’t even know when I switched from english to
pidgin.
“Big things don’t come easy,” the baba replied
grinning. “You say you want spiritual protection from
all ogbonge, yama-yama diseases?”
“Yes baba,” I replied nodding my head.
“Ok take this soap,” the baba said handing a package
wrapped with palm leaves to me. “Bath with it each
time you do that thing with any man and you will be
clean again with every dirt and disease washed off.”
“Ah baba thank you,” I greeted showing my gratitude.
“One more thing,” the baba continued. “On no account
should any other eye see this soap and for no reason
should any other body bath with this soap. If they do,
all the diseases that were washed off would return and
engulf you.”

I shuddered as I listened to the baba dish out the
instructions regarding the soap.
“I’ve heard everything you said and will keep to them,”
I replied and dropped some money on the floor. Then I
stood up and left.
The first thing I did when I got to my lodge was to hide
the soap in a safe hidden place in my wardrobe.
Then I went to the kitchen to prepare what to eat.
I was still in the kitchen when my phone began to ring.
I rushed to get the phone and to my utmost dismay,
Dennis was the caller. I hissed angrily and went back
to the kitchen.
My phone continued to ring but I ignored it.
When I was done cooking, I dished out some in my
plate and went to check out the missed calls on my
phone.
I had missed 8 calls on my phone.
The first 3 were from Dennis while the last 5 were from
senator clifford.
I quickly checked my account balance and discovered
that I still had two thousand five hundred naira
balance so I dialled senator clifford’s number.
“You weren’t picking my calls?” Senator clifford asked
as soon as he picked.
“I went to ease myself sir,” I replied.
“When would you stop addressing me as sir?” He
asked.
“I’m sorry,” I apologised.
“Meet me at Gabby hotels this night,” the senator
continued. “Hope you’ll be free?”
“Yes I will,” I replied. “I’ll be there.”
“Gabby hotel is 1 kilometre from Leo hotel so its not
too difficult to locate.”
“Ok sir I will be there.”
“There you go again,” he commented and dropped the
call.
That night, me and senator clifford had fun long into
the night and in the middle of the night, I informed him
that my birthday was few days away.
“How do you plan to celebrate it?” Senator clifford
asked cuddling my nude body.
“In a big way with friends,” I replied stroking his d!ck.
“Alright no problem,” he said smiling.
The next morning, senator clifford wrote my cheque
and saw me off to my highlander jeep.
“Take care my darling,” he said as I opened the door
to the jeep and entered.
“Thank u my love,” I replied and drove off.
I got to my lodge and immediately rushed into the
bathroom to bath with baba’s soap. I needed to see
how effective the soap was and I had no time to
waste…
