POISONED LOVE- Episode 16-18 (E-book/Story) Episode 16 On a Thursday evening. “hello? Steven?” Sophia called on the phone. She was at home. “hey, love. Wats up?” Steven replied buoyantly. “I’m not really fine”. “what? What’s the problem?” “remember the group test I told you we’d be having tomorrow? Well, I’m really in a serious mess. I don’t seem to understand the outlines”. “Oh, that’s bad.” “yeah, it’s really bad. And you promised helping me out earlier today in school, but you failed to”. “yeah, I know. I’m really sorry. I was kind of busy.” “I’m really confused, Steven. This test is important”. “uhm… I have an idea. I’m at home now. So, I think you should come over so I can help you out”. There was a pause. “hello? Sophia, are you there? Can you hear me? Just meet me at home, okay? I’ll be waiting… ” There was a Crack and the call ended. Sophia remained muted, not knowing exactly what to say. ‘did Steven just ask me to come over to his house?’ she thought. She had never been to his home before, although she knew where he lived. It felt odd to her. At that moment, Lily’s words rang in her head like an alarm. # he makes use of even the slightest opportunity”. She tried to wave it aside. They’ve been dating for close to two months and he’s never brought up such issue before. But wasn’t that because she’s never been to his house? “please, Sophia,” she said to herself. “besides, his parents might be home and there wouldn’t be room for such nonsense”. She knocked on the gate and was welcomed in by the gateman. He was a short black man and he had a uniform on.” “hi, good evening”, Sophia greeted as she adjusted the bag on her shoulders. “welcome. How may I help you?” “I’m just…” “Sophia!” Steven called from behind as he walked over to meet her. “you came?” he asked and gave her a kiss. They both walked into the house together,, first approaching the sitting room. Sophia was starring around the whole time. The house was magnificent. It could almost be compared to an estate. And the sitting room? It was beyond description. Someone might possibly think it belonged to a famed politician. “welcome to my humble abode”, Steven said, spreading his arms apart. “it’s… It’s beautiful”, Sophia recommended, still taking her eyes around. “uhm… By the way, where’re your parents?” “my parents? They’ve been off to work”. “work?” Sophia asked nervously. “So, who’s home with you?” “no one. Just me. Come with me”, Steven replied and walked into a part of the house, expecting Sophia to follow him behind. Sophia was confused. She couldn’t tell why she felt uncomfortable with being just alone with Steven. Steven,, who had been ahead of her, stopped and noticed she wasn’t following him behind. “is there a problem?” he asked. “uhm… No”. He led her into a room which was probably his. It was refurbished and well decorated. Episode 17 ‘Steven was really a spoilt brat’, she thought to herself. “So, what’re we talking about?” Steven asked as he sat on the bed, leaving enough space for Sophia to sit beside him. Sophia settled down next to him and brought out her books. He set off immediately to explaining things to her and at a point, Sophia began to feel at ease. After a long while of explaining and elucidating, Sophia and Steven finally decided to come to a pause as they had both become exhausted. “you look tired. Hold on”, Steven said and left the room. Sophia leaned her back against the wall of the bed and sighed. Steven was really a nice fellow. She felt lucky being with someone like him. Shortly, he returned to the room with a tray containing two glasses of juice and two little plates of sliced cake. He dropped them on the bed and gave one plate to Sophia while he took one for himself. “thanks”, Sophia said as she collected the plate from him. She took a little bite from it and discovered it tasted good. After that, she sipped from one of the glasses of juice. “So, how’re you coping with the lessons? Hope I’m being of help?” Steven asked, also biting at his cake. “well,, maybe. By the way, this tastes really good”, Sophia replied. “Oh, dear. Thank. I made it myself. “hm. You can tell that to the gods.” “I’m damn serious. I baked it myself”. “not even in your wildest dreams”. And they both laughed for a while. They ate silently, but not for long. “you’re beautiful, Sophia”, Steven said after a short while, starring directly into her face. They were sitting very close to each other. “I know. It’s nothing new to me. So, don’t think you can flatter me now.” “Oh,, seriously?” Steven asked and laughed. “come on, let me feed you”, he said as he collected the plate of cake from her. “I’m not a baby, Steven. I can do it”. “just shut up for once. And who told you you’re not a baby? Don’t you know you’re Steven’s baby?” “hm. Indeed”. Steven cut a little slice of the cake and fed it to Sophia. She ate happily. And while she was eating, some particles stained on her lips. “you claim not to be a baby, yet, you still eat like a baby ” Steven said as he used his hands to clean it off her lips. “come on, Steven. That’s because you’re feeding me”, Sophia replied and paused. She noticed Steven’s fingers were stucked to her lips and his eyes kept starring at them. “is… Is there something wrong?” she asked, starring into his eyes which were starring at her lips. “no”, Steven replied and finally kissed her. It was a snogging kiss. Sophia could comprehend what was going on at the moment. It took her quite sometime to realize Steven was kissing her and they were both on the bed. Steven held her face tenderly and continued kissing her. She was kissing him back. She thought of putting a stop to it, but she felt helpless. She kind of enjoyed it. Then suddenly, some words flashed into her head like someone recovering from amnesia. First, Lily’s words: ‘ # Steven’s a playboy and that’s what he’ll always be. He acts like he cares, but he doesn’t. He makes use of even the slightest opportunity and once he’s gotten into that special angle of yours, you’ll mean nothing to him”. Then secondly, Treasure’s words: ‘ # the truth is, I’m very scared for you. He’s always been a playboy and that’s why I can’t can’t tell if he’s changed or not’. And finally, Oliver’s words: ‘ # Don’t think you’re sleeping on a bed of roses, Sophia. He may act like he cares, but no matter how hard he tries, he’ll always be a cheat’. At that point, Steven was already on top of Sophia and her T-shirt had already been unbuttoned. Her chest had become exposed. She pushed him away and jumped out of the bed, turning her back against him. “Sophia, what’s wrong?” Steven asked as he also left the bed and walked up to her. “Steven, stop.” she said with less enthusiasm. Her words were just too weak. She was panting. She starred at Steven who was now standing in front of her with his T-shirt apart. He was looking so cute – so sexy. As she thought of the discouraging words, she also remembered his words to her sometime ago: ‘ # I know I’ve lived a bad life, but please, trust me when I say I love you. I really do, Sophia’. Steven held her by the waist and went for her lips again. And this time around, she couldn’t resist him. It was 6 p.m. Steven opened his eyes and found Sophia still sleeping beside him, covered under his bedsheets. Awww! It had been a wonderful time. He looked at her and smiled. She was really a darling. He looked at the wall clock and on discovering the time was 6 p.m, he sprang out of bed. “Sophia! Sophia! He jerked her out of sleep.. Sophia awakened with a yawn and was surprised at Steven who was now putting on his trousers. “please, dress up. You need to go home”, Steven said in a hurry. Sophia was stunned. “b… but why?” “please, Sophia. There’s no time. Just do as I say”. Sophia was confused. That felt strange. Why was Steven in a hurry to get her home? Why did he want her to leave all of a sudden? She wore on her clothes and Steven led her into his car. He was so much in a hurry. Immediately he settled on the driver’s seat, he scorched off on a high speed. He parked in front of Sophia’s gate and awaited her to get off the car. Sophia was worried. Why was Steven suddenly acting strange? “Sophia,, I’m so sorry I had to hasten things up. Don’t worry, I’ll call you later”, he said and gave her a peck. Sophia starred at him in silence for a while. She was out of words. “bye”, she finally mumbled and left the car. Steven drove back into his compound and found his dad’s car parked outside. That was a lucky escape, he thought. He didn’t want to imagine what would have happened if his dad had returned and had found him on bed with Sophia. That would have been a bombshell; a disaster! He knew his dad was good at keeping his threats. And he couldn’t explain it to Sophia because it would have sounded childish. He walked into the house and found his parents in the sitting room. But, there was something uncanny. He also found the plates of cake and the glasses of juice he had used with Sophia and they were placed right in front of his dad. Damn! He had forgotten to clear them up before leaving. “mom, dad, good…” “hold your greetings, Steven”, Mr Damola snapped in. “where’re you coming from?” he asked. “I… I went to check on something down the street”. “and what were these doing in your room?” he asked, pointing to the plates and drinks. Steven was silent. “I’m asking a question!” “I had a visitor”. “and what visitor is that? Don’t even tell me it was a male because I can’t imagine you having cakes and drinks with your fellow guy in your bedroom with your bed being so rumbled!” Steven couldn’t say anything. He knew he had been bursted. “So, after all my warnings and instructions, you still had to disrespect me, right? You shameless son! You’ve decided to bring shame and disgrace upon this family, right? Steven! Just thank your God. Just thank your God I didn’t come in time to meet both of you. Else, I would have dealt with that stupid LovePeddler of yours!” “she’s not an LovePeddler, dad. So, mind the way you refer to her.” Steven said in anger and his father slapped him. “ah! Oko mi! What’s the meaning of this?” Mrs Damola shrieked. “if you really don’t need me as a son, then why don’t you just send me away?” Steven said raucously and walked into his room. His mother followed him behind. “Steven!” she called as he threw himself on the bed in anger. “Steven, please don’t mind your dad. You know how he is at times.” she tried consoling him as she sat on the bed with him. Steven threw his face away and was fuming with anger. “but, why did you go ahead to bring a lady into the house after he warned you not to?” “please, mom. I’ll want to be alone”. “hm”, Mrs Damola sighed and kissed him on the cheeks. “have some rest. I’ll check up on you later” she said and left. Steven felt humiliated. Being slapped by his father was really embarrassing. Why was his dad even going against his relationship with Sophia? What business did he have with his love life? He didn’t want to think about it because it increased his anger. He laid on the bed and slept off. Sophia sat on her bed and found it difficult falling asleep. She thought of Steven. Why was he acting strange? He was yet to call her as he had promised. Was everything okay? Perhaps, he was busy and they would probably meet in school the next day. She didn’t want to Harbour any negative thoughts or feelings. But, as she finally laid to sleep, she recalled Lilly’s words again: ‘ # once he’s gotten into that special angle of yours, right between your legs, you’ll mean nothing to him’. To be continued...
