A Visit From My Past…. Part 1

I have never believed in love…i have never come close to falling in
love but there are people in my past that i really want to remain
there…in my past. I was in bed yesterday evening when the i

heard the bell ring, before i could leave the room to get to the
lounge, one of the people in my house ( they just invited
themselves over without my permission), rushed and opened the
door…and then i saw him…I was in shock cause he was the last
person i expected to step foot in my house…not after what
happened between us 15 years ago.
I couldn’t utter a word cause everybody was jumping and hugging
him…with shouts of welcome Uncle J, i glared at the idiot who
opened the door again…if looks could kill i would have gladly
looked him to blazes. While i was still trying to get my thoughts
under control…so as not to make a fool of myself…she came in
right behind him with their luggage…Haaaa, I hope they were not
planning to stay in my house too. She walked right in hugged
me…asking a thousand and one questions. I didn’t return the hug,
i couldn’t. I excused myself and rushed into the nearest rest
room…sat on the toilet seat, trying to catch my breath…then the
memories came rushing back.
!5 years ago, my cousin was getting married and asked me to be
her chief bride’s maid. I had never met the guy, he stays in the US,
although they dated briefly while they were in school, i never met
him cause she never brought him home. I had to be in Enugu for an
assignment before making the trip home for her wedding. I hated
driving long distances. I had an arrangement with a Cab company
to use their services when ever i needed to make journeys outside
the state. I called the cab company and asked them to pick me up
early cause i will need to get to Enugu on time, meet up with a few
friends for a drink and prepare for the assignment the next day. On
picking me up, i noticed somebody else was in the cab with the
driver, the driver immediately came down, apologized and told me
that the person with him was stranded and needed to get to Enugu
by road too, I was already getting angry but while he was still
explaining, the stranger got down, extended his hands and
introduced h himself and i guess he was talking gibberish cause i
never heard what he said…I was just staring at the most beautiful
creature i had ever set eyes on. He oozed s*x like he was just
made for it. His voice could melt butter, you know that Barry White
tone…He showed some ID and gave me numbers to call to verify
his story…at least i remember that part even though i didn’t look
at or call the numbers
Whatever he said i didn’t hear but i found myself agreeing to
sharing my cab with him. I noticed he was looking at me funny
too. Immediately we entered the vehicle, the mumu driver slotted
one of my best songs by TLC,” red light special”…I smiled and
closed my eyes to enjoy the song, surprise surprise..the stranger,
was singing along. All these while, the intensity of the electricity in
the atmosphere was high, He moved his hands a little and held
mine….It felt like i died and went to heaven. I turned towards him
to say something and he just whispered..” I know, i feel it too”. I
relaxed knowing i wasn’t the only one feeling that strong pull that
often drives one mad with longing. No word was said between
us…there was no need to…We both knew that somehow that trip
was the beginning of something new for both of us. I really cannot
remember much about the trip, but somehow we got to Enugu. The
driver was supposed to take me to my friend’s house ( I didn’t
want to stay in a hotel) but he said something to the driver and he
took us to Nike Lake resort. I didn’t protest at all…I didn’t want to
sleep with the stranger, i just couldn’t bear leaving him. We got to
the room, he was just staring at me as if he couldn’t believe how
we got there. We both fell on the bed and had the longest kiss i
have ever had, till date.
