MY NAME IS AKA
My Name is AKA – Episode 23
I met Tobe and we went out to an eatery and as we were eating, he received a call and said he needed to run.
It’s a call from a client who needed his service
He kíssed my two cheeks before going to settle the food bills.
He dropped five thousand for me before leaving.
I went home after the food with the money
I have been trying to avoid Uche, I begged Leba to be coming over to sleep at her place since she’s not mostly around.
She agreed without hesitation.
After about four days, Tobe called me to come out.
I got dressed and left to the fast food.
He was grinning from ear to ear as we sat opposite each other in the fast food.
“What will you like to eat..,? He asked still smiling
“Uhmm, maybe rice and plantain..”
“Is that all..?
I nodded with a smile.
“That can’t be all. Feel free with me, don’t be shy..”
“I’m not shy. I don’t know what’s on the menu but I know rice and plantain, maybe with chicken or fish will be perfectly fine…”
“The menu is right in front of you Aka..”
I looked at the table and saw I was actually relaxing my arms on it.
After checking through, I still went with my first choice.
“Won’t you ask me what I want? He said taking my hands across the table.
I began to laugh with the way he curved a smile.
He was obviously playing and that made me feel at ease.
I asked him what he wanted
“You…I want you offcourse. I want every bit of you. Your natural succùlent lips that I didn’t get to kíss the last time, your séxy cúrvy body and your chocolate black skin..”
I didn’t know how to respond to that. I bend my face and he began to laugh
“…now I have succeeded in making you shy. I was only joking alright?
I nodded with a smile.
“..But not totally, I like you and admire everything about you, I’m lucky to have you as mine..”
“Thank you Tobe but I’m not yours, I don’t belong to anyone except God..” that’s the only reply I can give.
He smiled and said I will be his girlfriend and nothing will change that.
He called the waiter and in no time our food arrived
He ordered for vegetable goat meat soup with poundo yam.
I had jellof rice with big fish, plantain and coslaw.
I enjoyed every bit of the food
He asked if I wanted more but I told him I was okay.
He ordered a take away for me and we left.
“When will you come visiting me? He asked as we were seated inside the car.
“I don’t know, when do you want me to come visiting you..?
“Anytime my love, I live alone and you will really feel at home. I like you very much Aka…”
“… well, I took a lot of self discipline to let you go that night at the hotel. I haven’t stopped thinking about you ever since. I’m mostly occupied with work during the day but even at that I still wonder why you haven’t called and I was hoping to drive down to come see you, I thought you’re yet to get the phone. I was happy when you finally called last week and I couldn’t spend enough time with you that day but I have enough time today..”
“…What do you do for a living? You said you’re not into the hoøkup stuff so what are you into? Are you a student or you work.,”
“Neither! I’m searching for job and once I get one, I will save up so that I can return to school. I was in desperate need of money, that’s why I agree to the hoøkup plan. Thank God I didn’t meet a térríble person who will close his ears to my plea and have his way with me…”
“… I’m glad I met you Tobe. Thank you for everything..”
He nodded quietly
“Does that mean you don’t have a boyfriend..?
I replied affirmative
“Won’t you like to have one?
“I’m not ready for that Tobe, I’m still young and have so many things on my to-do list, having a boyfriend isn’t one of them..”
“Does that means no man has touched you, like you’re a virgin?
I heaved heavily before replying affirmative again.
He was quiet and later said
“Be my girlfriend Aka and you will never regret your decision..”
“Tobe, is not like I don’t want to but that’s not on my priority list right now. I’m sixteen and haven’t been in school for a very long time. Going into any kind of intimate relationship will really destruct my life pursuit and I don’t want that please, I appreciate everything you’ve done for me so far..”
“Is alright Aka, I won’t force you. I totally understand and I’m ready to wait until you’re ready..”
“…my love for you is spreading like wild fire. I wish you will understand how much I have come to admire and love your personality. You’re the first Lady that I know that is focused and very serious with her life goals than any other thing. That alone is inspiring and I’m ready to help you achieve it..”
“Thank you Tobe..”
“Tell me about your parents.. your family where are they? He asked.
“Oh! I will rather not talk about it please. But for discussion sake, they’re fine. Thanks for asking..”
He nodded, took my hands and kíssed them.
He gently draw me to himself and kīssed me on my lip
He began to kíss even more.
I freed myself from his loose grip.
“Tobe, please don’t do this..I don’t feel alright with it..”
“Is just a kíss, haven’t you been kissed before? Is just my way of telling you how much I love you and I seriously need you in my life. I want to be the first man to måke love to you.. trust me, you will come to love it too..”
“I thought you said you understand my plight and reasons Why I can’t do that? You said you won’t force me but you’re doing the opposite of your words..”
He sighed, defeated
“Am I? Oh, that’s right. I’m sorry Aka. being with you right now, it’s hard to deny my feelings, staring at you makes me want to take you home and make you feel like a woman..”
“Okay, can we go now or maybe I will take public transportation. Night is approaching with speed..”
“Am i making you uncomfortable? He said taking my hands again.
“Well, I don’t feel comfortable with your body language and words..”
He chuckled aloud, touched my cheek gently and said.
“Alright, I will stop talking about wanting you. Let’s focus more on getting you something doing, although I will be traveling by next week and will be gone for about two months, on my return I will try to see if I can fix you up with something…”
“Ok! I can’t really wait till you’re back, I will keep searching and by God’s grace I will find a job..”
“You’re a strong believer? He suddenly asked
“It depends on what you mean by “strong” Is only by the speacial grace of God that we live, we move and we’ve our being. I’m a child of God Tobe and I’m always careful not to bring shame to my father’s kingdom…”
“I see why you’re refusing my advances, you must be going to all this fanatic churches that preaches døom and input féâr in people when you try to have a little fun..”
“I don’t engage in this kind of argument Tobe. I’m a child of God and that’s all that matters to me..”
He stared at me and chuckled softly
“This girl, you’re quiet intelligent and very smart too. I’m loving you even more…”
“…let me drive you to my place let’s have a good quiet time together. I want to be the first man in your life. I’m ready to teach you alot of things and trust me, you will enjoy every bit of it.
“No, don’t do that. I want to go home. Open the door let me get down..”
“, I’m not opening the car door Aka, you’re my lady or soon to be. There’s absolutely nothing wrong in having a fun time at my place..”
“You can’t force me against my will Tobe. Don’t do that because it doesn’t suit you. I will come to your place but not today…”
“Let me take you home Aka, stop arguing with everything, you need exposure and I’m ready to help you achieve that…
“… Aka, you can spend a day or two at my place, we will have a great time. I will take care of you, I promise. I live alone and nothing will be interrupting us. just trust me, I didn’t hûrt you at the hotel, I won’t hûrt you now. I’m not forcing you either, I’m giving you time to make up your mind..”
“…Let’s go to my place. We have alot to discuss and I’m ready to help you in anyway you wish. We will have lots of fun together..”
He turned on the car ignition and drove out.
