Eb: Says who? Wole: It's not fair for your husband - my boss Eb: He does not really care Wole: I care Eb: Aww! No surprises there, I know you do Wole: But not like that, I didn't mean for it to sound the way you think Eb: Don’t be coy with me mister Wole: I'm not coy, trust me Eb: But that’s sort of why I'm attracted. You are an enigma. I unwrap the packaging but I can't see the gift yet. It's got layers upon layers of wrappers - sparkly nice wrappers. I like the wrapper already so imagine how nice the gift would be Wole: Erm thanks but I don’t quite get it Eb: You'll get it someday…very soon After another minute or so… Eb: You've gone silent on me again Wole: I'm sorry but maybe it's because I've got nothing more to say. I just settled in and I'm trying to watch the news Eb: I must be boring then or perhaps you don’t like my lilac panties Wole: Don’t do this, don’t even go there Eb: Oh well… that’s the way the cookie crumbles No reply. Eb: Hello are you still there? Wole: Yes ma'am Eb: You like the chase don’t you? Wole: Meaning? #cryptic lingua Eb: Oh stop that! You sure know what I'm on about. I get the feeling you enjoy the chase. I like it too. I'll get you eventually Wole: I think you should try to patch things up with your husband 4 Likes |

Eb: We are not quarrelling oh! Wole: I know but still the relationship can be better, you can be happier even if sex is not involved. I suggest you approach him and apologise Eb: Apologise for what? Wole: I don’t know, just apologise and say stuff like, whatever I've done please forgive me. I don’t buy the idea that he doesn’t like sex again. Something must have happened somewhere. Something must have triggered off this new stance Eb: Hmm Wole: At least you said the last time you guys did it, it was great. That tells me he has surmounted the health challenges. Something else is annoying your husband and as a good wife, that’s left for you to discover. Eb: My personal Dr Phil. You know that was something myself and my friends used to joke about when we were at the university. Wole: What's that? Eb: Whenever any of us tried to play the psychologist, the other would say 'sit on my couch and I'll be your Doctor Phil'. I bet you know Dr Phil? I hope I'm not too old with that joke. Wole: Haba, I know Doctor Phil now; from TV of course not personally. So fear not, I get your joke. Eb: Haha, funny you. That’s why I like you Wole; you make me feel good. You make me laugh when I chat with you. It's even better when we talk. You make me forget my sorrow and pain. Wole: I appreciate but I wish you would tell your husband these same things. I know very soon your pain will be over. Weeping may endure for a night but joy, but joy comes in the morning. Eb: I hear you, I think my joy has come but the angel is being too coy with me. You know what I'm on about, don’t you? Wole: No response ma'am but I'd like you to take what I said seriously. I don’t know of any man that will move out of his bedroom and be saying stuff like that unless he is upset Eb: If he is upset then he should say it. I'm not a witch so how can I read his mind? Wole: Madam, you know your husband better than I do. If he is not talking, then maybe you should do the talking. At the end of the day, you are trying to solve a problem so there is no shame or pride in it. Eb: My very own Doctor Phil. I've been down this road a thousand times and every time I go there, I remain dissatisfied. Would you leave your wife for nearly 7 months all in the name of you no longer want to have sex? Wole: I keep telling you, you need to get to the root matter. Every man wants to have sex… its ingrained in us unless of course the man is ill or something. I repeat every man wants to have sex Eb: Not my husband, not your boss! Trust me on this issue Wole: Then keep praying about it, nothing prayer cannot solve 3 Likes |

Eb: My prayers have been answered, at least part of my prayer Wole: We thank God, care to share? Eb: You! Wole: Oh dear, here we go again… Eb: LOL Wole: You are a case but that’s for another day. Gotta go now Eb: Hey, hey, hey not so fast Mr. I have a small request Wole: Shoot Eb: Would you like to come over sometime next week, anytime from Wednesday. My husband would be travelling out of the country… Wole: I know. I did the booking with the travel agent and to answer your question, I'm sorry but I can't… Eb: Can't what? Wole: You know what I mean… I couldn’t do something like that Eb: But I've not asked you to do anything Wole: I'm sorry but I'm not the kind of person Eb: Ermm… wrong answer. You score no points for that answer. A while back you told me all men love to have sex so… 3 Likes |
Re: Three Paths by Fantasyisland(f): 9:52pm On Dec 22, 2015 |
Wole: Ermm… wrong answer. You score no points for incomplete answers. I told you unless he is ill or something else. In my case, I can't for reasons we both know. Eb: C'mon now, I just want us to talk that’s all. No hanky panky or stuff like that. Is that too much to ask from a friend I've been talking to? A friend I've been confiding in, my very own Doctor Phil? Wole: I'm sorry but I can't. If indeed you consider me a friend then kindly respect my wishes ma'am Eb: You started with the ma'am thing again - okay oh. I'll make you come though Wole: Ehn? Eb: I said I'LL MAKE YOU COME and you can take that to the bank! Wole: Don’t be like that now Eb: I promise to make you come and I'll make it worse. I'll make you cúm during the weekend Wole: Oh gosh! Eb: I like it when you type like that - oh gosh! It's almost like you're coming. You know what I mean? Not that come but that come Wole: Erm…TMI Eb: I know but I'm an open book. I'm not like you, I say how I feel. I appear unassuming but I am unpretentious so go ahead and type it again - oh gosh! Wole: No, thank you Eb: I promise you, you'll be saying those words by the end of the visit - oh gosh! Wole: Okay that’s me done now. Good night ma'am… Eb: Nit nit. Sleep tight and don’t let the bed bugs bite 3 Likes 1 Share |

*** Natasha strolled into the parlour and wrapped an arm around her husband's neck. Ken smiled at her and continued reading his paper ''I've got good news'' Nat whispered. She ran a hand along his bare chest and smacked it. ''Tell me'' Ken replied. Then Nat stood in front of him and he frowned ''what this about?'' he pointed at her protruding tummy and she smiled at him with a ready reply ''faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen'' ''Is that why you have a pram in our bedroom?'' ''Pastor Tony said…'' ''Oh for God sake Nat, you need to chill with this make-believe stuff. You look and sound ridiculous. Look at your tummy, what do you have in there, another balloon or old wrapper?'' ''Can you just pretend with me for once?'' ''I can't, it's silly!'' ''Pastor Tony said to fake it till you make it'' ''Oh that slick fellow! He can pass for a magician in Las Vegas! Please, take that cloth out and kindly remove that pram from the bedroom. I need space to move around. Anyway what is this thing you wanted to tell me?'' ''The doctor said it’s a good time to have another go at it'' ''Meaning?'' ''IVF'' ''Hmm, I don’t know about that one oh!'' 4 Likes |

''We need to be positive dear'' ''The entire process is draining, that’s all'' Nat sighed and stared into space for sometime before whispering ''I'm weak dear. I wish you could be strong for me sometimes'' ''I've been down this path a thousand times'' ''Wrong. We've been down this path thrice and it's my body that takes the heat. I'm not asking for much, the money is not the problem dear. All I'm saying is come play your part, support me and pretend to be positive. Then pray with me, fake it with me sometimes, come with me to expecting mother fellowship. I see men with their wives too and it breaks my heart cos you've never been there once. Do you know the support you'll be giving me if you lay aside your discomfort and sit by my side there? Help me Ken, help me. I'm drowning in this thing'' ''I don hear but you know I support you in other ways'' ''I know you do dear but it can be better'' ''I will keep doing my best. By the way, sorry about the funds thing, I for like play my part but business has been slow, contract has dried up like a well in the desert'' ''I know, better days ahead. The board has finally approved the new director'' ''Thank goodness, any idea who this new guy is?'' ''Not yet, they are keeping mum on the issue. We hear he is someone from the branch in South Africa - a Nigerian though'' ''Before nko'' ''Nah, dey don learn their lesson since that last time nah. It has to be a Nigerian unless we will begin to play politics again. We have 3 names flying around but one can't be too sure. It should be over by the end of the week though'' ''Good one, about time baby. About time'' 3 Likes |

[size=18pt]22[/size] On Friday after the close of work, Wole got a call from a foreign number. For a minute he forgot someone whom he knew was outside the country until the familiar voice spoke ''how are thing going at the office?'' Immediately, Wole stood on his feet as though his boss was physically present ''evening sir, I mean morning sir, its evening here though. We are fine sir. Office is fine and …'' ''Have you closed for the day?'' ''Still at the office sir, just about tidying up and…'' ''Anyway I just got a call from the Mrs. I'm sorry I'll have to disrupt your weekend'' ''Okay sir'' ''They are having issues with the computer at home, a virus I believe. They are unable to do stuff. I hear the cursor keep moving around the screen when it's not being controlled. In addition, it has refused to print. They are not sure if its toner problem or the virus acting up. Its driving them nuts!'' ''Is that the Apple sir?'' ''Goodness no! It’s the desktop we have in the kids reading room. The Mrs uses it sometimes since it's connected to the printer. Unfortunately everyone is affected, I'm afraid I've not had the time to upgrade it to Apple. That’s what you get with Windows product, they have everything in the world including virus…'' ''I know but I don’t expect that system to give any problem sir. I made sure it was upgraded to the latest antivirus and malware when you first got it. It's fairly new so I don’t foresee any major damage'' ''I'll need you to check it out tomorrow'' 5 Likes |

contd ''I'll need you to check it out tomorrow'' ''Okay sir'' ''It has to be tomorrow please, preferably in the morning. The kids have assignments and stuff which they need to turn in by Monday. I'm sorry to do this to you Wole but…'' ''It's not a problem sir'' ''Thank you very much. If you have to buy anything at all, the Mrs will see to it that you get it'' ''Not a problem sir'' ''Goodbye now'' Immediately the call was over, Wole sat back on his seat with a thud. Suddenly sweat began to pour from his forehead even though the air-conditioner was on. The Mrs AKA Ebube promised him she would make him come over and she had just done it. *** Everything about Saturday was a drag. Wole woke up late, very late and then he dragged his feet around the house like a man who had a rock tied to his ankle. By 9am, Tania called and reminded him of their friend whose wife had just put to bed ''remember Folake and Jimi?'' Tania asked. ''It's for today at…'' ''I can't dear, I can't. My boss has asked me to check on a computer at his place'' ''Oh my God and you couldn’t communicate this information to me earlier? I just got the cake from the baker plus…'' ''I'm so sorry dear. I can't do Omole waka then start heading to Ajah again…'' ''Nawa oh! Nigeria is a sick place sha. Gosh, I feel like screaming into my pillow or something. I mean who does that? If this were aboard, it would be impossible. Plus if you have to work outside your normal working hours, they pay you overtime. Mehn, I can't deal! This is not even overtime matter, this is private house matter, this is not company work! How does helping with his home computer benefit your company?

''Babe chill abi what did you expect me to say? Say no? If I told you I said no, nor be curse you for curse me? He is more than a boss T, he is my helper and mentor. He helped me with this job, this same job that will make our marriage possible in no distant time'' ''I hear but it's not fair to capitalize on the fact you helped someone'' ''Na you dey look am like that oh. It's not like I've being asked to carry block on my head. Abeg, let me go'' ''You're right sha but we had our day planned that’s all'' ''Let's do it tomorrow after church babe. Give them a call and push it by a day or so. It's not too much is it? The baby is going nowhere that’s for sure. I love you T, gotta go now'' Tania groaned in reply then stared at her neatly arranged shoe. She tossed her car key to a corner and eyed the cupcakes which had just being brought. The icing was blue with the word congratulations spelt on it. She wasn't sure about it staying until the following day. Tania lived with parents and siblings who had no concept of another person's food. If she left the cake in the fridge, by evening, she was guaranteed to have one or two missing regardless of whatever warning she stuck to the cake box! As she thought of these things, her younger brother knocked on the door and pushed it open without a reply from her ''mummy said I should tell you…hmm is that cake I see?'' ''Don’t even think about it!'' Tania screamed ''it's for Folake them'' ''Can I just have one?'' ''No you can't. It's lettered so if I gave you one, I'll have like ongratulations or something dumb'' ''Well you can give me the s at the end so it's like congratulation instead'' Then the disappointment left Tania and she began to laugh ''Really?'' she asked. ''Like seriously? Did you just say that?'' as she spoke, she wore her shoes, picked up her car key and lifted the cake from the table. She wasn’t sure what to do before but now she had a fairy good idea. She was going to see what her mother wanted first and thereafter, she was heading off to see Folake and Jimi's baby - alone. 4 Likes 1 Share |

[size=18pt]23[/size] Wole remained at home for as long as possible. He was dressed but somehow, he could not get himself to leave his house. His initial plan was to leave by 12noon but it was 1pm and he was still wiping his brow. By 2.00pm, he got a call from Ebube but he refused to pick. He allowed the phone ring and ring while he continued to stare at it like it were some precious artwork. Some minutes later he picked up his phone and sent her a message: you're happy about this, aren’t you? At the other side of town, Ebube stared at the message but she decided not to reply. She went into her kitchen instead and began to prepare something for later that evening. The kids were out to play with friends. The housekeeper was away for the weekend. It was just her and the gateman. On the other hand, Wole waited some more before finally deciding to move. He never got a reply from ''the Mrs'' and somehow it made him more anxious. Usually, she was the one to chat him up or text some cryptic message but she was mum today. Did that mean she was upset at him, his message or wasn’t just in the mood to type? Had she returned back to her exalted Mrs position or was her computer really bad? Perhaps that was the case and she wanted to prove him wrong. He was going to prove her wrong too. He was going to act like the perfect gentleman. He was never going to reply any message no matter how desperate or sad she seemed. He was going to be all professional and have his poker face like they've never had those sort of conversation. Wole dressed really casual, a v neck T-shirt and jeans trouser. He wanted to downplay everything about him, run in and out of that house at Omole and get on with his life. His house was not terribly far, he lived somewhere at Isheri Magodo. It was a decent mini sized flat but he paid a hefty amount for it. He arrived at the Uzoh's residence at exactly 3.15pm on that hot afternoon. The gateman opened the gate for him and ran off to inform his madam. While this was going on, Wole tapped a foot and looked at the compound again. He had been here just once but every time, the place looked different. He looked at the long row of flowers, they were lovely to behold. They seemed like the same variety but with different colours. Suddenly the door flung open and Ebube walked out. 3 Likes 1 Share |

She was wearing a white blouse with carton coloured pants and she looked absolutely beautiful. Her long hair abi was it weave fanned her oval shaped face. The hair was long, wavy and jet black. For a second, Wole was dumbstruck in awe. He wondered if what she said about her husband was indeed true. How could a man have such a woman and not touch her? Suddenly he found his voice ''afternoon ma’am'' ''Afternoon to you too, come in Mr Akinleye. I'll show you the computer, come this way'' She shut the door behind him and they walked in like two strangers ''thanks for coming on such short notice ''Ebube continued. Wole grunted but said nothing else in reply. Once they got to the study, Ebube placed her hand on the door handle and stared straight at him ''I told you you'll come'' she whispered. It was the first time she dropped her façade and revealed the women he knew via chat. Immediately, his heart began to beat like crazy. Wole wanted to say something really explosive, but he knew he had to tread with caution ''did you think I was joking or something?'' Ebube continued. ''Can I just take a look at the computer?'' Ebube stared at him some more, she had a smile playing at the corner of her mouth and for the first time, Wole smiled at her wearily. She pushed open the door aside and walked in without another word ''I hear the cursor keeps moving around the screen'' Wole continued. ''Yes I guess'' Wole stared at the large study. He had been here before, just once when he was looking for the document his boss had asked him to get. It was the first time he met Ebube and since then, things had continued to decline slowly. At first it was scary, daring, fun but now it was starting to trouble him. He knew she was playing around with him. His boss had told him it was not the Apple so he knew it had to be another computer ''I hear it’s the kids computer causing problem; I hear it’s in their study area'' Wole continued. ''I'll get it'' ‘’I thought it was a desktop?’’ Then Ebube eyed him like a mother who was sick and tired of her inquisitive brood ‘’I said I’ll get it’’ she replied in a weary tone. 3 Likes 1 Share |

He was still standing like a statute when she returned with a silver coloured laptop ''take a seat; don’t be a stranger'' she said. She spoke in an exasperated tone like she was tired of faffing around. She placed the laptop in front of him and moved away. Wole opened it and frowned slightly. The system was password protected and there was no guest account. He called her attention to it and she returned again ''silly me!'' she murmured, ''let me sign in and…'' suddenly he could smell her because she was so close. He quickly removed his elbow from the table to make room for her but she moved even closer. He could almost feel her breathing down his neck, he could see her sheer nylon blouse and her black bra was visible through it. Her boobs brushed against his arm and he froze like a teenage lad. She smelt of fresh flowers in spring and everything about her called out to him even her earlobe! Yes, even her earlobe. She was not putting on an earring and he wanted to kiss her neck before sucking her earlobe. He was weird in that sense. He liked ear lobes, a lady's neck, and … ''done!'' Ebube announced. By now Wole was breathing heaving and staring to sweat even though work had not commenced ''are you alright?'' Ebube asked in an innocent voice. She had that smile playing on her lips and Wole felt helpless ''what are you doing?'' he whispered. ''I want you'' ''Why are you doing this to me?'' Wole continued in a weak tone. ''Your husband is my boss. I respect that man with everything I own…'' ''Shush! He doesn't have to know, I'm not a kid'' ''Why me?'' Then Ebube ran a hand along his arm and continued ''because I have my specification'' Suddenly Wole snapped back to life ''I need to work on this computer'' he focused his attention on the gadget and began to fiddle with the mouse'' ''There is nothing to work on there'' Ebube replied in a quiet tone. ''That’s my personal laptop and its fine. The kids computer is equally sound'' Suddenly Wole stood up and announced ''then allow me go'' ''SIT!'' Ebube commanded in a stern voice. She smiled at him again like she didn’t give the earlier command then she continued in a softer tone ''we can talk. You just came in; you don’t have to run away. I promise I don’t bite besides I've got something cooking so you can have lunch with me. I don’t like to compel you, but it would be nice if you stayed'' then she touched his arm again and pressed lightly ''I would really appreciate it if you did. Please stay'' 1 Like 1 Share |
