UNSPOKEN TRUTH 2

 He grabbed me from behind then he started kissing, teasing and caressing my neckline, I let out a little gasp and started moaning softly. I turned around our lips met then I felt this tingling sensation, first in my head then it went all over my body and made me tremble but a little. We started kissing, at first it started slow, I put my hands round his neck, his hands were on my waist as the kiss started to deepen, his tongue stroking mine, wet exchange of mouthy fluids. Felt him stroking my back, hips, grabbed my a** and pushed me real close so I could feel how hard he was. Now I'm moaning while I savour every taste of his lips on mine. I hugged him so close like my life depended on it, incessantly, the sweet French kiss went on for a while with hands everywhere. He was about to unzip my dress when I felt an cold uncharacteristic hand pull at me shouting; “Shantelle!! Shantelle!!! Wake up!!!! It’s time for morning devotion”. 

 Funmi was standing over my head, watching me blush in my sleep, I woke up sluggishly from my erotic dream and she inquired; “are you having the dream about him again?” I sighed; “yes”, she continued; “why are you two not dating yet self?”, “I really don’t know, Funmi, and to be honest at this point I can’t be bothered, it’s going to happen eventually if it’s meant to be”, I whispered, Funmi replied ‘I think he’s having commitment issues’. We both brushed up and went to join the rest of the family in the sitting room for the usually morning devotion

  I was at Funmi’s house for the weekend, second week in a roll, so the dream about Nimi isn't news to her anymore. Wondering what could be triggering all these dreams about Nimi; I and Nimi go way back even though we weren't close from the beginning but lately I've become fond of him, am guessing I've always liked him but I was just too stubborn to take note or acknowledge it. After the morning devotion, I and Funmi had our baths, we had plans of going to the nail studio, see a movie and talk over scoops of ice-cream.

  On our way out we stumbled upon Femi’s fiancé, we all exchanged pleasantries and went our separate ways. I asked Funmi; “so this babe is really going ahead with the wedding?”, “Sit down there make pant they wear you nau, shebi na you be morality adviser”, Funmi replied. I shook my head and inquired further; “how is the fight now abi na beat down we go call?”, Funmi laughed real hard saying; “it’s not so bad like before but I think he’s saving the best for marriage like they always say”, we both laughed about it on our way to the teewad beautipalour on Allen Avenue.

 We made our nails and changed its polish before routing to the palms cinema on the Island. While in the taxi on our way I asked Funmi about afolabi and if he’s behaving, she said; “Afolabi no get choice nau, I’ve kept him spellbound by my intoxicating love and my delicacy recipes, we are even going to his parent’s next month sef, although he wanted it to be next week but I said he should please make it next month”. I smiled; “Funmi am so happy for you dear, you are happy and in love I pray it works out for you love, Funmi replied; “Amen! My dearest friend but Shantelle, I don’t like that you are still single sha seal this thing up with Nimi nau or what’s really the problem?”, “Funmi I know he likes me but I can’t seem to figure out what the delay is, “don’t worry, I will talk to him ok”, she assured.
 

 We saw the movie “Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn II. Thereafter, we went to the ice cream factory to chill in wait for Afolabi {Funmi’s boyfriend} to close from work so he can pick us up for the home drive. While we were waiting, I was busy having my three scoops of cookies & cream together with chocolate chips and Funmi was having vanilla with caramel ice cream, some cute guys walked up to our table asking if they could join us; Funmi quickly replied; “me am waiting for my boo but she’s single so ask her if she doesn’t mind”. I on the other end was lost in thought of Nimi and how am going to have the talk with him, I was too blind to see the cute guy trying to get my attention. Am Shantelle, I said, “you can have your seat” but in my mind I was not interested, all I wanted was Nimi, but for courtesy and friendliness sakes, we gisted about so many things from guys, to babes, relationship, career and laughed out loud. Finally, Afolabi showed up and Funmi jumped off her seat {like she just got a bite from soldier ant} to go give him a bear hug. We said our goodbyes to our new friends and left.

 We had a quiet ride home but I heard Funmi and Afolabi gossiping in low voices about different things, while in the back seat I plugged in my earpiece and I started listening to Brandy’s new album {Two Eleven} I was so lost in the music I didn’t even know when we got home. I alighted and thanked Afolabi for the ride, leaving Funmi behind so she can do all the kissing thins with her boo. I got into the house, met Funmi’s folks watching the 10pm news, I greeted them both and Funmi’s mum said; “Shantelle welcome back, hope you ladies had fun and brought something back for me sha?”, Funmi’s dad replied her before I could; “leave the girl alone nau cant you see she’s tired?”, I smiled and said mumcy; “we will see in camera”, they both laughed. I got in the room, had a cold bath and quickly charged my ever hot blackberry that was already flat, “silly battery didn’t make me chat with my Nimi”, I grumbled.

 Funmi finally came in and found me smiling sheepishly with my phone; “Mrs. Nimi you won’t sleep abi? You like man too much”, I replied; “Mrs. Afolabi see the time you are entering since I left you, pot calling kettle black”, we both teased ourselves a little more then fell asleep. The flustering scream from Femi’s flat woke us all up, at first we thought it was fire or robbery, I checked my time, and it was 3:00am in the morning.  What could be going on with Femi and his babe again? We all rushed out and went to see what the entire disharmony was about, on getting to Femi’s apartment we saw pool of blood, broken glasses, stools and the sitting room in a state of chaos. Funmi’s father quietly went to check if Femi was still alive, since he’s the one laying in the pool of blood while his fiancé was looking bartered and crying profusely saying; “it wasn’t intentional”, “I didn’t mean to harm him but he kept on hitting me and I didn’t know what else to do, so I picked the closest thing to me and hit him on the head”. Femi was quickly rushed to the hospital.

 Femi regains consciousness four days later, however, the doctor made us understand that if we were 5mins late, he would have been dead. I sat down and started pondering; why do people get involved in the act of violence? Because I don’t see any reason to it; someone either gets hurt or dies in the process, then the other person starts wishing he/she could turn back the hands of time or why do people most especially female pardon and keep this act a secret just to pretend they are happy? The wedding was postponed ‘till both parties completed their counselling classes and if there isn’t any improvement both families decided the wedding should be called off. Am sure if they had talked or got help earlier it might not have derailed to this measure.

Stop the act of violence and don’t ever think love is expressed by someone hitting you or maltreating you. If it doesn't give you unexplainable joy and happiness from the depth of your heart then it’s not LOVE!!!! Never get it twisted.
