The immerse feeling of frustration was stuck in my throat
He squeezed my neck, perhaps to intensify the pleasure
“There is no connection, I don’t feel what you are trying to achieve"
“I don’t get" his laughter bounced off the room
“Good night!” the girls chipped as they walked out of the room, my patron walking them off the property
A long day it was, my friend had asked me to come to his hoping we would catch up on old times. He stayed on the rear end of the bustling city of Lagos, a 3 hours journey from me if I were to take a bus.
“Yes why not!” I squealed through the phone, now I got my freedom, I can focus on what is important to me, friendship, love, money-- life.
“Dee let me know when you wake up I might follow you to the mainland" I whispered to my sister as she laid down beside me
“I am leaving as early as 6am!”
“No problem just wake me up"
“Dee?” as soon as I opened my eyes, I noticed my sister wasn’t beside me, was she going to leave me here?
“I walked to her room hoping she hadn’t left
There she was, “…but I asked you to wake me up"
“I’m about to leave”
“Please give me 10 minutes I’d be ready soon" she agreed
“Omolara is it?”
“yep"
Leaning closer he whispered “so are you single?”
“No I am not”
“why?”
“I belong to the streets! Ha ha ha"
“Well then I’d be pulling up on your street"
“Its not just one street lol"
“I’m a hoe don’t worry I belong to the street too"
“Nice we are both hoes"
Putting his hand to my neck “look at me” he said, pushing my head towards his lips, eyes shut, I shifted my face to the side forcing him to kiss my cheek instead.
“Why don’t you want to kiss me?”
“Nothing"
“I am a fine boy so I know that isn’t it"
I couldn’t meet his gaze anymore, I was starting to feel disgusted
“Maybe it is the alcohol"
“But what could it be?”
He walked behind me then leaned forward to touch my cleavage, I reached to remove his hand
“Why are you doing that?”
“Because I love breasts"
“Then go touch other breasts and not mine"
“I can’t like everybody’s breasts, you really have a nice body"
“How do you know that? I am wearing a big baggy top”
He came back to face me, looked down he groping by breasts
“Because of these!” proceeding afterwards to touch the helm of my bra in the process
I was starting to choke, I wanted to kick his balls so badly but I felt his strength when he touched my neck, he could kill me. In my head, I compared the kidnap to this, he can kill me, this is a big house, no one would hear me if I scream, only God knows when my friend would be back.
“You are not serious!” I jumped up from my seat, heading for the door, he followed behind me leaned forward to grab my ass, mind you the august visitor came visiting.
“Stop that!” running outside the cramped studio room
I cant remember if he smiled or not, all I know is I couldn’t breath, I was scared that he would force himself on me.
As we both left the room I shut the door behind me, he leaned forward lifting his hand to squeeze my neck
“That doesn’t work for me" hoping he notes that he had boundary issues
“So what works for you?”
“I can’t tell you”
“Dont you have a meeting to attend?” he removed his hand
“Yes I do but I am stoked, I really need to rest but I’m trying to make money"
“ at least you are far richer than I am" I smiled
We continued chatting a little till he walked away.
I could finally breathe
I walked back into the studio hoping he doesn’t come back
My host entered instead
“What is wrong?” Noticing the change in facial expression
“Nothing" i smiled
I tried so hard to be less readable but I was too exhausted to pretend
He asked a few more time before I was able to tell him what had happened
He hugged me saying he is sorry, that he felt his house was a safe haven for women.
“I am never coming to your house again!”
“And I understand that”
I began to cry
“I was so scared”
“Its ok"
“Make sure you let him know how I felt tonight"
“You know if I told anybody I cried because of this they will say I overreacted, they have no clue how it felt being in that position, it was a horrible feeling"
Consent is very important
Ask before you touch anybody inappropriately especially if you both aren’t cool in that way.
