Tunde pulled into the compound and parked the car in its usual spot. He was already tired from the long day of driving, and hunger pangs gnawed at the walls of his stomach. Luckily, he had the mind to buy some fried yam, akara, and fish on his way home and he couldn't wait to get inside and do justice to it with the chilled bottle of kunu he had kept in his fridge the night before.
Today hadn't been a bad day at work. He left home at the usual time that morning. After buying five thousand naira's worth of gas, he spent the morning picking and dropping passengers off in Central Area, Maitama, and Garki. At around noon he had taken a break and a light brunch. Afterwards he continued to drive and finally, at around seven in the evening, decided to call it a day. He dropped his last set of passengers at the Lugbe overhead bridge before heading home after making a quick stop to buy his dinner.
It had been about a couple of weeks since his escapade with Blessing. Each time he thought about it, he kept shaking his head. It was one crazy and risky thing he had attempted, and being the young guy that he was, filled him with thrill and foreboding. To complicate matters even more, the girl herself didn't seem to want to care what they had done was very dangerous. She had become somewhat more demanding, and a few days after their first fuck, she had suddenly appeared as he parked his cab after he had got home quite late (he had been hired by one young woman to take her and her kids to Kaduna and back for the day). Moments later she was on her knees sucking his piddlestick. How that had happened, he had no idea, but as he spread her face down on top of the bonnet of his car and inserted his dick into her for a quick fuck, they had heard her mother call out to her just mere feet away around the corner. Only God knows what would have happened if she had come around a few seconds earlier, but for some reason she hadn't.
After that close encounter, Tunde had come to his senses and figured out that the sweetness of her inner core was just not worth the hassle of being caught and disgraced. There were several other older girls in the area he could lay. He just had to play his cards right. Be it as it may, it was easier said than done, and though he tried, his raging boner always won at the end of the day. Finally, after their third tryst in their "secret" location in the uncompleted building, he decided that enough was enough. Through sheer determination, he had managed to push her away the last two times she had tried to seduce him. On both occasions, she had left all grumpy and unhappy. It was hard for him as well - even though his body cried out for the sweetness of her smooth young body, he had to reject her advances. It wasn't worth it. The girl herself finally stopped bothering him after a while. And he was glad for that. Now he would have happily let things be that way, but for some reason fate had other plans in store for him.
The following day was a Saturday and he woke up quite late, having been up till around 4am binge-watching an erotic series through the night. The boner he sported in his boxers took his mind back to the erotic scenes of the show. He slowly got out of bed and waddled to the bathroom to take a leak. His dick was hot to the touch and his balls throbbed heavily. This reminded him of the forced abstinence he had imposed upon himself. He decided he would have to relieve his aching nethers before he could get any respite and a clear head from his blue balls. He peered into the large water drum behind the bathroom door; he had not had the time to fill it up and it stood almost empty, the remaining water inside not even enough to brush his teeth, not to talk of taking a bath. He found a pair of shorts and grabbing two of his buckets, he headed outside in hopes that he would find any Mairuwa(local water seller) around from whom he could purchase a keg or two of water from.
Stepping outside into the mid-morning sun, he ran into one of the girls from the other day. She was one of the two he hadn't known their names (not the one that Anaconda had abducted). She was more blessed in the chest and arse regions than Blessing was, but was a bit shorter than her. She seemed to be the quiet one of their group and really didn't see her talk much when they were all together. Heck, he doubted he had ever seen or heard her talk at all. Today though seemed quite different.
"Bros T, I dey hail oh," she greeted cheerfully as he strode by where she sat outside Blessing's mum's small canteen.
"Good morning, er..."
"Nkiru."
"Yes, Nkiru," he replied, scratching his bushy hair in embarrassment. "Sorry, I didn't remember your name."
"It's okay sir." She replied. She eyed the buckets in his hand. "You want to fetch water?"
"Yes. There's no water in the tank. It seems everyone has emptied it."
"Don't mind them jare. People don't know how to manage water here."
"It's my fault. I woke up quite late. It's almost ten-thirty."
"Ehyah, and the tanker won't come until evening time."
"Yes oh. Did you see any Mairuwa around?"
"They have all come and gone."
"Na wah oh. So I can't bath be that."
"I can get you some water from our compound if you want. We have a well."
"Is your place not far?"
"No," she replied, pointing to a blue building about five hundred yards away, "it's just over there."
"No oh, that is too far for you to carry water na."
"It is okay; it is not far. I will put it on my head."
Something in her sweet nature made him wonder about the sudden friendliness. Why was she so concerned about getting water for him?
"Okay, but I will go with you," he replied.
"Okay sir. Let me just tell Blessing I'm coming."
She disappeared to the back of the canteen, and minutes later, came back with Blessing in tow.
"Good morning, Bros Tunde," Blessing greeted him. Her eyes twinkled and Tunde couldn't help but realize what was on her mind.
"Good morning Blessing," he responded.
"Nkiru said you do not have water, and she wants to fetch some for you."
"Yes."
"She doesn't need to do that. I will get you some from our drum."
"You don't need to do that Blessing."
"Yes I will." She grabbed the two buckets from his hands. He glanced at Nkiru and she shrugged.
"Okay then. Saves us the trip."
"You don't need to go to her place to fetch water," she eyed her friend before disappearing.
"What's her problem?" Tunde asked when she was out of earshot.
"She think say I wan thief you from her," Nkiru replied with a small chuckle.
"What do you mean?" he asked, but she just smiled and said nothing.
****************
From that day, Nkiru became very "friendly" with him. She was more in the company of Anaconda's girl anytime he saw her, but that didn't stop her from coming up to him. Each time he saw her, he couldn't help but check her out. What she lacked in height she definitely made up in other aspects of her figure. No matter what she wore -- her uniform or plain clothes -- she couldn't hide the two basketballs that stood proudly on her chest or the fact that she was all soft, warm, and feminine. She wasn't short and fat -- far from it. She was what people called "petite" - a small, cute stature but blessed with killer assets. She was quite smart too.
A couple of days later while stuck in some light traffic around NNPC, his phone rang. It was Blessing's mother, and his heart jumped into his mouth. He put the phone on speaker.
"Mummy Blessing, good eve..."
"It's me, Blessing," the voice on the other end interrupted.
"Oh, I thought it was your mum," Tunde replied in relief, "what's up?"
