Anike: EPISODE 13,14&15

The next day, I resumed lectures. Admiral calls me everyday to ask after my family and my well being. On Thursday evening he asked if I could come spend the weekend and I agreed. Please who am I to say no. He sent #200,000 into my account.

On Friday morning, I fixed my hair and do some shopping He booked my flight and by Friday . evening, I was already in Abuja. The driver was already waiting for me at the airport, he took me to the house. He joined me in one of the sitting rooms, I had to thank him all over again. We got talking, he’s very jovial I already noticed that on our phone conversations during the week.

Dinner was served and we ate together, quietly. After the meal he said he’ll join me in my room later. My heart skipped a bit.

“Tonight is the night” I said in my
mind.

Later in the evening. He joined me in the
guest room and we got talking again, he ask some questions about school and my academics. I was wondering if coming to Abuja is just to chat with him. He told me, I could ask him any question if I have any. I asked about his family. He told me he’s divorced, he also told me what led to the divorce. He has two kids who lives and school in the UK.

He told me they don’t come to Nigeria, he
only visits them. He said they are with their mum and are doing fine. I asked why he didn’t remarry and he said he has trust issues because of what his wife did to him.

He told me he has a function to attend on Saturday and he wants me to accompany him.

“One more thing, my PA will take
you to the hospital first thing in the morning…”
“Hospital! I didn’t allow him land. “Sir! Why are
we going to the hospital?” I asked curiously.

“Just to run some tests, I want to be comfortable around you” he said. You'll also so be placed on contraceptive to prevent pregnancy” He explained.

“That means we’ll be having sex without
protection” I thought and I shiver. “Don’t worry I’m clean, you can sue me if you find out I’m not.” He smiled “And stop referring to me as sir, call me prince, that’s what those who are close to me calls me.”

“Yes sir… I mean prince.” He bade me good
night and left the room. I thought of everything he said before I slept and I know there’s no turning back. The next day, I followed his PA to the hospital, series of test was conducted, HIV, widal test, blood count, sugar level, blood group,
genotype, ECG name it, I was even taken into a
machine where I was scanned from head to toe.

I went back to the doctor’s office after the tests. PA was there too. I entered and sat next to him. The Doctor gave me the contraceptive pills Prince told me about. He said, I can’t get it on counter, so I have to come to get it in the hospital once it’s finished, he said I could tell prince to send any of his staff to get it for me. He then handed a brown envelope to Mr PA before we leave. We got back home with the sealed results in PA's hand. He was in another sitting room watching CNN. He opened
the brown envelope and read the report which I
guess was satisfactory because he was smiling.

★★★★

He discharged his PA. Your result came
out good. He handed a plastic bag that was
beside him to me. I brought out the two packs, I
couldn’t believe what I saw. IPhone 6 and
Samsung S7 edge and apple laptop. I looked at
him with a questioning eyes. “They are yours” he said. “Thank you sir, God bless you.” “Like I used to tell you, if you need anything whatsoever, do not hesitate to tell me.”

“Ok sir.”

“Don’t worry I’ll have some things deliver to you in school next week.”

“Alright sir, thanks.” He told me to go and prepare for the function we are attending. I got to my room and met a Red Vera Wang couture evening dress, a black Prada peep toe heels and purse.

I wonder how much it will cost. I changed and I
was summoned to join him in the car. I came out and the motorcades were set to leave, black cars with tinted glass. I was lead to his car which is in the middle and I sat besides him. I felt like a queen or a first lady. We alighted when we got to the venue, I was really shy around him, I’m sure some people will take me for his daughter except. for those who knew his children.

It was an elites get together, I met with some, senators and governors I only see on TV. Some top celebrities were also there. I feel good to be around great people. One of his friends, told him he likes me, he said he won’t mind having me, when he is through with me. He told him I’m not a random girl and the man shut his mouth. I was happy, because I can’t imagine him passing me around among his friends like we see in movies. We got back home that night, I was filled and I told the chief who called me for dinner that I’m filled. I got to my room and showered. I changed into my night dress. I put on my data and start replying messages on Facebook and WhatsApp. I also called my mum who obviously thought I was in school. Some minutes later one of the staff told me my attention was needed in the Admiral’s
bedroom.

My heart skipped multiple beats. He led
me to his room and left. The room was glorious,
even a five star hotel rooms is no match. You
can’t insomnia in this room. He beckoned on me to come sit on the king size bed with him. I was nervous and I didn’t do well to hide it.

“Anike, relax. I don’t bite” He said and took my hand, I followed him and we both sat on the bed.

“Anike I really like you. I know you are not a prostitute and I will never treat you like one. I’ll wait till you naturally warm up to me. I should have just let you go the first time you came. I can choose to help you and your family and just let you go, but you are exactly what I needed in my life right now.

I want someone like you, not call girls. As for me I’m good with you, just try and like me a little, it might be difficult because of our age difference. I know I could pass for your father, that is sure but I need a companion and I found one in you.”

I only nodded to everything he said, sincerely I don’t know what to say. “Can you sleep beside me tonight?” he asked. Please what I’m I suppose to say. I said yes and lay on the bed. He laid beside me. “Good night” I said closing my eyes in fear.

“Good night or do you care to sleep in my arms.”
I nodded like a little girl and he pulled me into his arms. I slept in his arms and woke up in the his arms on Sunday morning. I stood up quietly.. I tip toed and went back to my room to bath but my things were no longer there. I met one of the staff and he told me my things have been moved into. Admiral’s room this morning.



EPISODE 14

I went back to his bedroom he was now
awake. “Good morning, how was your night” he
asked. “Fine I was told my things have been
moved into your room.” “Yes, you are no longer
my guest or you still consider yourself as one?”

I just gave him a faint smile. He continued. “I
already told you what I want from you, if I just
want to sleep with you, I would have taken you to a hotel, you won’t be in my house not to talk of sleeping in my room, on my bed. “I get it sir, it’s about companionship and not just sex.”

"Prince” he corrected.

Ok Prince, I need to bathe, where are
my things.”

He led me to his closet And I almost
fainted, when I saw his closet. Designer
Shirts….suits….pants…..ties….shoes…..perfumes,
wristwatches, name it. The closet could pass for a boutique. Then I walked down the closet and took a closer look and I saw female collections ranging from wears, shoes, bags, purse, female wristwatches, all designers and I noticed the clothes and shoes were all my size.

Is this what I’m thinking?” “They are all yours, except you don’t like them” I heard his voice from behind.

“Prince! Of Cause I love them, thank you.”

“You don’t have to come with clothes whenever you are coming to Abuja, in fact you can just come in with just your phones and purse. You are also free to take any of them along with you when you’re going back to school.”

“Prince you will spoil me rotten” I pointed
out.

“Allow me spoil you my princess.” I saw my
box at the corner, I picked the things I needed
including underwears and went into the bathroom, locked the door from inside. He saw me when I came out of the bathroom with a top and towel around my waist. “Anike…. He said teasingly. I walked passed him and went into the closet. I picked a Givenchy peach color peplum laced top on Amy green midi length fitted pencil skirt. By the time I was through dressing up, he was already in the bathroom. So I went to sit in one of the sitting rooms. We ate breakfast and I informed him I’m going to church. Since he didn’t sleep with me the previous night I was still free to go to church, or so I thought.

“I’ll tell one of the drivers to take you” that was all he said.

I was happy he didn’t frown at my idea of going to church. After breakfast, I went back to put finishing touches on my dressing. I wore a light make up, I picked a matching Dolce & Gabbanna high heel sandal and purse. I looked at myself in the mirror and I liked what I saw. I looked classy and I determined to carry myself as one. Because I know everything I wear from now on is standard. I was about to leave the room when he entered. I saw the look in
his eyes, he gave some compliments before I left the room. I came back from church and asked after Prince from his PA he said he’s not back from Church.

“So he goes to church too, I thought.” The master bedroom was locked but Mr PA opened it for me. He met me eating lunch when he came back, he changed and joined me.

“You didn’t tell me you are going to church” I said.

“You didn’t ask” he replied. “We could have gone to your church together.” “I worshiped at the chapel in Aso rock and you can only get in with a security clearance” he explained. “Oh! Now I get it.”

“Don’t worry we can go together next time. I’ll
arrange it.”

“Really!” Seriously I wouldn’t mind.
Worshipping in Aso rock chapel. After having
lunch. He took me to another sitting room, I’ve not been there before. This was exquisite, I wondered the amount of money that was put into the interior decoration. The first two sitting rooms is nothing compared to this one. We got talking, the TV was on CNN.

“I doubt if you watch any other station
aside this CNN” I asked. I noticed I’m more free
with him, ever since last night.

“I thought you won’t complain” he smiled and handed the remote control to me. “Help yourself” he said.

“I changed the station to E! Entertainment.

“Ladies and entertainment gossips” he smirked. He made some phone calls while I was engrossed with my TV program. He called his kids too.

“How old are they, your children” I asked when he ended the call. “My daughter is 22 and my son is 19.

“This might sound awkward but your daughter and I are age mates.”

“Yea, it sounds really awkward” He draw me closer to him and rest my head on his chest. ...

Episode 15

Hours later he offered to show me around the
house. It was a cool evening. It was a nice tour, the house was really big, the staffs too has there own lodge. He showed me around the garden, he has two swimming pools. We returned into the house, and went into his bedroom. He sat on the couch and I sat next to him.

“What time do you have lectures tomorrow?”

“ 8am”

“I suggest you go back today so you won’t miss
your 8am lecture. I’ll call PA to arrange for your
flight ticket.

“Thank you sir, you are the most considerate and selfless person I’ve ever met. He transferred #500,000 into my account, I hugged
him this, time. He hugged me back and kissed me on the forehead. He told he’ll be traveling tomorrow morning and will be back in two weeks.

“See you soon my beautiful princess, have a safe trip” he said and pecked me on the cheeks.
The driver announced his set and followed him out.

I got back to the hostel in the evening, my room
mate was not back. Prince called me, I told him I just got in. We talked for more than hour before he ended the call.

Happy came back in the morning while I was
preparing for lectures.

We exchanged greetings. “How’s Admiral Alawode”, she asked

“He’s fine”

“Any show?”

“No show”

“Really!”

“Why is he doing all this?”

“He said it just about sex”

“He’s really working on you o, I think he doesn’t
want you to have you just for sex. He wants you to love him, he’s really love starved”

Happy was right, prince wants to have my heart not only my body. But how can I fall in love with a man old enough to be my father.

I left the room and went for lectures.
Prince called everyday and we talked for two hours minimum everyday. During the period of two weeks he transferred close to #800,000 into my account.

I spend wisely, I saved most of my money.
I had to learn from my Mum’s mistake. I only sent money home and I also transferred # 100k to Happy. We talked about so many things, we spoke freely to each other. He told things I never knew about navy, I almost wish I joined the navy. He said I can apply once graduate, he will get me in easily but I told him to get at least one of siblings into the navy instead. And he promised to do so. Atleast I can secure the future of my siblings too.

We discussed politics, his personal businesses, my academics and all. I always asked after his children too.

He said he miss me and I said I miss him too. I
miss you” I don’t know where that words came
from, but I’m sure is from mouth. I think I’m going to miss him. And my heart is gradually warming up to this wonderful and charming man. He’s really getting into me and I can feel it in just two weeks.

Two weeks later, he was back, he invited me over that weekend and I was in Abuja. He was so please to see me, so am I. He hugged me and planted a dry kiss on my lips. A current ran through my spine.

Take care and have a safe trip” he said smiling.
One of the staff took my hand bag to his room. I
followed the guy, I needed to change to a comfy
foot wear.

I joined him shortly, it was almost time for dinner.

“Let me get to the kitchen” I informed him.

“To do what?” just talk to the chef if you need
anything”

“I want to cook for you, don’t you get tired of the
chefs food( he has two chefs)

“You want to cook for me!”
Are you scared I’m not that bad”

“No I was just surprised, that’s thoughtful of you”

“Just tell me what you want, and I’ll prepare it, you know I cant make different dishes like your chef”

“I made to leave and he followed me. “You want to come into the kitchen, your men are around o, what will they say if they see you in the kitchen”

I’ll just keep your company, he followed me, I can’t imagine what was going on in the mind of his staffs who saw us.

I made jollof spaghetti and garnished it with
chopped beef, chicken, fish, carrot green peas. I
served it with chilled ice tea. The chef offered to help me set the table but I declined.

“Wow, it taste great, you are a damn good cook”

“Thank you”

“I hope you’ve not committed yourself because I won’t mind eating your food whenever you are
around”

“That’s not a problem, I’ll gladly oblige you.
Later in the night I showered and changed again in the bathroom. I wore my robe and lay on the bed.

He showered and joined me. He cuddled me as I lay in his arms.

“Anike do you want to be with me or let me put it like this do you like me enough to be with me?”

“Prince….I like you already. It’s been a month now we knew each other and you are practically
everything to me. A father, helper, friend, confidant and a companion. I now enjoy your company, you should that I like you already”

“You don’t know how happy I am to hear those
words from you” he said and pulled me closer. I
felt so secured in his arms that I slept off.

The next day, Saturday morning. After breakfast, he took me out to catch fun. He promised to take me some resorts outside the country when I’m on holiday. He asked if I have an international passport and I told him, I have. My Dad got it for me before he died.

“That reminds me, I have a conference meeting in south Africa this week, but you can join me on Friday, then we’ll come back on Sunday. Please say yes”

“Yes, I’ll come”

“Good how arrange everything”
We got back to the house, I just took fruit and went to bed.

“Are you sleeping already?” he asked when he
entered the room.

“No I’m still awake” We gist about the places we
went to earlier, he said some funny things to him and I hit him playfully. We started rolling on top each other. He stopped he was on top me. He looked me in the eyes, I saw desires in his eyes, I knew he wanted me. I closed my eyes and he kissed with burning passion, he’s big hands were doing wonders on my body. He made to undress me and I held his hands.

“Prince! Wait!”...
