Chapter 3: Anniversary Night and New Walls

Just yesterday na our one-year anniversary with Morayo.

I plan the thing sharp sharp—call small suya, buy red wine, candlelight, order cake from one Calabar babe wey sabi bake die. For my mind, I go finally break this our old school pattern.

Since, I don dey reason am—how I go sleep with her.

As in, my guys dey yarn say I dey do like say I no be man. How you go date babe like Morayo for one year and nothing dey happen? Even girls dey reason say maybe na me get problem.

If no be say Morayo dey old school, I for don try touch her from the first day we start.

But na her principle I dey respect. She always talk say she no dey rush, say she wan do things for her own time. Me, I try respect am, but body no be firewood.

No be say I be perv—na because she too fine, na every second she dey tempt person.

If you see her for black dress, with small lip gloss and that her small gap tooth, e dey scatter my head. Her laugh dey sweet me, her walk dey ginger me, na only God dey help me hold body.

Kiss, hug, touch her slim waist—e no dey do me again.

E be like say my body dey protest. E reach point wey even smell of her perfume fit wake my senses.

With correct plan, I open red wine for our candlelight dinner that night.

I arrange room, off light, put music. As she sip wine, na so her face begin dey shine. Her laugh just dey flow like stream for rainy season.

After two glasses, I don high small, ginger enter me.

I dey yarn her sweet nothings, dey look her eye, dey touch her hand. My head dey turn small.

I just dey smile like fox, pull her sit for my lap, hold her waist, dey kiss her neck.

Her neck dey smell like shea butter and vanilla. The more I dey kiss am, the more I dey lose control. She just dey giggle, dey press my chest.

"Baby girl, I wan tell you one secret."

I talk am with style, dey look her like say na only she dey for world.

She smile, lips curl. "Which secret?"

She lick her lips, her dimple show. That her playful eye fit make soldier drop gun.

I near her ear, whisper: "The first time wey I see you, na to kiss you till you cry dey my mind."

She cover face, laugh, her shoulder dey shake. She pinch me, no wan make I talk nonsense.

She blush, pinch my waist, laugh ask me,

"If you no look my face, you go still like me, chase me?"

Her question serious, but she dey hide am with smile. I know say she dey find my real answer.

I hold her face, touch that beauty mark for her eye corner, shake head, dey tease her. "No."

I use finger tap the small spot for her left eye. "Na your face finish me."

Next thing, Morayo shame catch her, vex, press my shoulder, bite my neck strong.

The bite shock me, no be small. She dey act like small tigress. I wan shout, but I hold am, dey pretend like say e no pain me.

Until I shout, beg am.

"Baby girl, e dey pain me, I no go do again!"

I use style beg, but inside me, I dey laugh.

She change the bite to kiss, then lick the place small.

Her tongue cold, I fit feel the goosebumps for my skin. E sweet me, but I no gree show face.

She look up, eyes dey do like say she vex. "So na my face make you fall for me."

Her eyebrow dey raise. E be like say she wan catch me for lie.

"If you see person wey fine pass me, you go like am?"

Her voice get small pepper. I sabi say if I answer anyhow, wahala fit land.

My sense just reset, I rush deny. "No o, na you I like pass. Only you."

I dey use style pet her, dey rub her back. She gimme that eye, I gimme her small peck for forehead.

As I dey pet her, my hand don dey waka under her cloth.

My hand cold, but my mind dey hot. She look me, dey follow the hand with her eye.

I whisper, dey ginger her, "Baby girl, I wan see..."

My voice soft, my heart dey race. I dey try use style make her free body.

She hold my hand, her eye dey play. "See wetin?"

She dey laugh small, but she no gree let hand go. E dey sweet her to dey tease me.

I no talk, just carry her put for table, my hand dey climb her fair, fine leg.

Her skin cold, leg smooth. She dey tremble small. I dey try make e sweet her.

"Baby girl, you too fine."

I talk am with passion. She dey smile, but her eye dey wet.

Her breath dey heavy. She press my hand, voice soft like water: "Ayotunde, abeg no dey tease me."

Her voice low, e be like jazz. I dey reason say tonight fit be the night.

I carry her bare foot press my abs. "So, baby girl, you wan tease me instead?"

As her leg rest for my body, e be like current enter my blood. She shy, but e be like she dey enjoy the play.

Morayo look where her leg dey, shy just full her face, but she no move.

Her cheek dey red. She dey use hair cover face, but I see her smile for corner.

I dey frustrate, pull her skirt down, wan carry her come down from table.

E be like say the matter dey tire me, but I no wan force am. If she no gree, na respect.

But she just use her long leg lock my waist. "Ayotunde, you wan run? Too late."

Her boldness shock me. She gimme eye, her grip strong like say she no wan make I go anywhere.
