Life went on for Tunde. Over the next couple of months, he was able to finally pay back the money his parents loaned him for the purchase of his cab. He upgraded to a Toyota Camry, which he now used for Uber and other charter fares. Sometimes he got trips that took him to places like Lokoja, Kaduna, Minna, and sometimes as far as Ibadan and Lagos. It was a very convenient gig for him, and he could plan his time around his driving and other things. In the mornings he would clean his car, have his bath, and grab some breakfast either from what he cooked, or barring time, from mama Blessing's canteen. He did often run into Blessing there, but they mostly ignored each other. She had tried to get back on his good sides -- she would sometimes bring him food from her mum's canteen, and other times she would want to come around and run random errands for him - but not wanting to complicate things further, he had rejected her advances. She finally gave up on her pursuits.
As for Nkiru, he tried to be as careful as possible. Rumors were beginning to float around that some of the guys in the neighborhood were secretly having flings with the young girls. Knowing that he was trying to push Blessing away, he also felt he had to limit or even outrightly stop his trysts with NK. Overtime he came to realize she was not the demanding type, which suited him. She respected his space and didn't act like anything was going on between them, and most of the time greeted him courteously like any of the other young kids in the area would. She only came for her dose of "Fucking" on days she knew he was around and no suspicions would be raised, which was mostly on Sundays when everyone had gone to church.
One of such days found her having a surprisingly interesting argument with him. She was squatted over his crotch, his dick sliding in and out of her as she twisted and grinded in all possible directions. Her fingers were intertwined with his, and her movements were making it hard for him to concentrate on what she was saying.
"Papa Nkiru is a senior civil servant at the federal secretariat. My mommy has a big shop at Garki Market where she sells foodstuff and other provisions. My older brother sells spare parts at Apo, so money is not a problem for me," she gasped in response to a question he had asked earlier. Her voice sounded muffled behind the face mask she wore. "The only thing wey I for lack for my life na big prick, but you dey take that one scatter my dada."
She shook her hair and Tunde couldn't help but laugh. She gave him another twist of her waist, which sent another round of pleasure to his groin. "I am not like all those other girls who tax guys just because they fuck. I'm more mature than that."
"You...ahhh...have shown me your maturity several times. That I will not disprove. But comot this your face mask na. I can't hear you properly."
"Mba," she shook her head. She pressed her hands down into his and humped him faster. "I don't want to risk Covid. Leave the mask matter."
"But we don't have Covid..." but she had already rolled off him and laid on her back, spread her legs and pointed to where she wanted him. Tunde moved over and positioned himself between her laps. He gripped her knees and pushed forward to slide into her, but her palm against his chest told him she had other ideas. She gripped his throbbing shaft and began to stroke hard and fast.
"I will not say no if you want to give me money oh," she continued with her speech as she brought him closer and closer to climax, "Honestly, I will be very grateful, but if I am to ask you for any money, it will be for minor things. Nothing extravagant or expensive. I am a very simple girl. Oh, and Postinor, incase one day our fuck too sweet we forget ourselves and you release inside me."
The thought of that alone did it for him. "Oh NK!!!" he moaned. He threw his head backwards and his dick erupted in her hands, sending hot, whitish semen flying onto her belly in thick, creamy dollops. Nkiru squealed as a splotch landed on her throat, and she deftly milked him till he went limp in her hands. She gave his dick a squeeze and let go, studied the semen dripping from her fingers and belly before gingerly smearing the whole lot over her tummy and breasts.
"You don bath me finish with your akamu," she smiled sultrily at him from below, "See as the thing just full my bodi. I have to bath." She rolled over carefully and scampered to the bathroom, her round arse jiggling all the way.
The following Saturday Tunde went to have his hair cut. He had been putting it off for weeks and now felt some critters were beginning to take residence on his head. He walked into Anaconda's barbershop, where met Anaconda and some other guys talking. He took a seat to wait his turn. Not quite long after, a few girls walked by. One happened to be the girl Anaconda boinked that rainy day. That's how their gist turned to them, confirming the rumors that had been circling around.
The things he heard surprised him. Most of the guys boasted they had fucked some of the girls in the neighborhood. Anaconda himself mentioned the rainy day. Looking up sharply, Tunde caught his smiling face in the mirror. He knew what was going through his mind. They all laughed over how wild some of the girls were, and Anaconda boasted that not long after fucking (the name of the girl), he had fucked two others simultaneously. Another guy bragged he was making great headway with Blessing but had not fucked her yet. Anaconda's barbing partner, who was giving Tunde his haircut, said he had eyes for Nkiru, but the girl did not want to play ball. The others encouraged him to try harder, and Tunde smiled secretly. "That's my girl," he praised her in his mind.
Unfortunately, Susan's mother caught Anaconda and her daughter at it in one of the rooms in the uncompleted building not long after, and all hell was let loose. According to Nkiru, the police were involved, and Anaconda was let away in handcuffs and weeping like a baby.
One evening he almost went back on his words with Blessing. He had just returned from the day's fares. Having had his bath, he was thinking of what to eat when he heard a knock on his door. Lo and behold, it was Blessing.
"Blessing, how far na? This one wey I see you for my door mouth." He greeted her.
"Good evening Bros Tunde," she replied.
She followed him inside and placed the food flask she had in her hand on the small table.
"I saw you when you came back, so I thought I should bring some food for you since you will be hungry," she said.
"Oh thank you Blessing," he responded, "I was actually thinking of what to eat."
She opened the flask to display its contents. It was rice and beans with two fat pieces of meat. The aroma alone made his mouth water. He quickly grabbed two spoons from the shelf and gave her one.
"It's okay, I have already eaten," she politely refused.
He shoveled a few spoonfuls into his mouth and Blessing watched him eat. He devoured the entire flask and smacked his lips in content.
"Did you like it?" she asked.
"It was very delicious," he replied, picking some bits of meat from his teeth.
"Thank you, I cooked it myself."
"That's good. Thank you very much."
They sat watching the TV for some time. She clearly had something on her mind, but Tunde decided he was not going to probe. After a while, she spoke up.
"Bros T, wetin I do you now?"
"What do you mean?"
"I-I begged you not to be angry. I said I was sorry for talking to you like the way I did. You are making me miss you too much. I want you to touch me again."
"Look Blessing," he began. He had simply overlooked or ignored her looks since she came in, but now that he had eaten and was now seeing things a bit more clearly, he could see she was dressed rather sexily. She had on a tight pair of leggings that hugged her hips and arse nicely. Her low-cut shirt displayed a lot of cleavage. Her lips were wet and inviting.
"Blessing," he continued, "I am not angry with you. I do not think it is wise for us to have a relationship, especially since we live in this kind of neighborhood."
"And so? When you ran after me and fucked my toto so hard, do you think about the neighborhood? Or is it because you are fucking Nkiru?"
Tunde's heart jumped. "Who told you about Nkiru?"
"So you do not deny it," she replied.
"I am not fucking Nkiru. What gave you that impression?"
"You do not need to lie to me. I know how she looks at you when she sees you."
"Did she tell you I fucked her?"
"You do not need to know."
"If you do not have any evidence, then don't accuse me of what you don't know," he replied angrily.
A sad look appeared on her face. "I just miss you," she said as she stood up from the sofa and walked over to where he was on the bed. She lowered herself and straddled his laps, planting herself firmly on his crotch. Try as he could, he couldn't push her off. She immediately wrapped her arms around his neck and to his surprise, kissed him on the lips.
"Blessing, stop this," he said, but his hands glided to her waist.
"Do you miss me? I haven't stopped thinking of our hot fuck that day. Oh, the hot fuck in the cold rainy weather!! Bros T...I want it again!!"
"You know I can't," he breathed. He was having a hard time not staring down into her breasts which were right in front of his face. To make things even worse, she began to glide herself over his crotch, and his dick began to grow.
"Hmmm...Bros T, I can feel my friend getting excited!" she said.
She continued to kiss him hard, and Tunde just went weak. His hands began to roam over her body and slid under her shirt to caress her skin. She moaned deep into his mouth, and just as things began to heat up another notch, his phone blared out in anger. He reached out to pick it but Blessing refused. It rang three more times before he pushed her away gently.
"Please tell Blessing her mama dey look for her," he heard a familiar voice on the other end.
The caller hung up. "Your mother is looking for you," he said.
