THE ONE NIGHT STAND.....PT4

         Rubbing her eyes and staring into space with a big grin, she shook her head as she tried to remember all that happened in the room some hours back. The last she remembered was the stranger covering her nipples with his warm mouth, she was left at his mercy after that. Her grin disappeared as fear took over her face.
       "Jesus! I slept with a total stranger without protection" she gasped as reality hit her. Her face burning with anger and self-disappointment.
          "what if he was infected with any STI or even worse, be an HIV patient, what if he came inside me
             and I get pregnant, I don't even have a clue of who he is or how he even sounds!" she said between sobs.
              Looking around to pick up her phone, she noticed her bag was missing same as her mask.
           "What is happening, did I sleep with a thief? How do I leave this hotel looking scruffy and without cash on me?" She turned as she heard a knock on the door.
           "W.....who is there?" she asked as she quickly struggled into the  costume she wore the previous night which was lying on the floor.
          "Room service ma" came the response.
          Sighing, she went to the door and opened it to let the room service in.
         "Good morning madam, your husband ordered this for you" the dark slender girl said dropping a tray of food on the table. Tola staring at her in disbelief.
        "W.....ait, husband?" she asked but decided to play along so she doesn't look like a call girl.
          "Yeah my husband, any idea where he went to?" she asked feigning a smile.
           "No madam, he left this morning after paying for your breakfast and a dress from our boutique, my colleague will bring it soon, he looked like he was in a hurry" the girl replied.
           "Hell yeah, he was in a hurry" she murmured to herself. "Okay you can go" she said smiling to the young room service.
             "Okay madam, my colleague will bring your dress" she said leaving.
            'Yeah whatever". "My husband? haha, wow never knew I was married" she said making her way into the bathroom ignoring the covered tray on the table.

      -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     The traffic jam this afternoon was just too tiring, looking at the piece of paper in front of her, she kept wiping tears of her eyes, car horns were sounding from different corners but the ear piercing noise was the least of her problems.
      "Madam e be like say accident happen for front o wey make hold-up dey" the cab man said turning to her, his mouth oozing out the stench of garlic. Turning to face the other side of the car, she nodded nonchalantly without a word.
     "How can I be pregnant? David and I stayed a month without having sex because of our constants quarrels before we finally broke up or rather I over-reacted" she said sighing. She had been to see David like four times and he was never around, his numbers were switched off too, would she blame him? She broke up with him via text message without even allowing him defend himself. All she wanted now was to see him, fall on her knees and apologize to him, even if they never date again, after all she's carrying the child of another man, a man she doesn't even know his name or know what he looks like. She had gone to see her doctor after falling ill the previous week and he confirmed she was four weeks pregnant. Her heart had skipped a beat when he broke the news to her.  Just a month after her night of "adventure", the one she was too drunk to have even experienced, all she could think of was how stupid she had been from the moment she left David's apartment till the moment she woke up in a hotel. Her phone rang, she brought it out and saw it was a call from Kunle.
          "Hello, Kunle? How is David, where is he, is he with you?" she asked anxiously. Kunle happens to be  David's best friend and they both knew virtually everything about each other.
            "Calm down Tee, David is just sick, I'm at his place now" he replied.
            "What? I'm coming" she said as the call cut and told the driver to turn back.
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

          David's compound was unusually full with cars for the small parking space in the compound, her anxiety increased as she spotted a red Jeep in the compound, that was Dami's car, what would she be doing in David's place without her notice, was David's sickness that serious? Her heart stopped for some seconds, she remembered how her cousins were deceived in boarding school that their mother was ill and wanted to see them only to get home and hear she was dead. She half-prayed and half-professed her love for David as hot tears trickled down her cheeks, she would go mad if anything of such happened to David.
        Ascending the stairs, the unusual silence from upstairs scared her the more, her eyes fell on the numerous foot wears in front of his apartment, she was convinced that the worst had happened.  Opening the door, she screamed;
        "Kuuuuuunleeeeeeeee, where is.................." she stopped as she stood in front of David.
          "Happyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy anniversarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry Darlings" the guests screamed. She turned around and saw the owners of the cars and foot wears all smiling at them, David hugged her and locked his lips with hers. Breaking the kiss, he went on one knee opening a tiny box with a ring in it right in front of her
         "Baby, I'm sorry for whatever I've done, I want to spend the rest of my life with you, waking up to you..........................." she couldn't hear what he was saying again, thoughts filled her mind, what would she do? She had slept with a total stranger, she was carrying his child and she wasn't worth his love any more. Looking around, she saw Dami's urging look, the witch! she smiled as she thought, she was with her the previous day and she didn't even tell her about David's plan. She was yet to tell Dami or any other person for that matter about the sex with a stranger.
          "Baby?" David called, bringing her back from her thoughts. "Please be my wife" he said smiling. Smiling back at him, she asked to see him in private. The guests started murmuring as they both left the living room.
         "DJ music! Let's party people while we wait for the love birds" Kunle screamed joyfully distracting the poke-nosing guests.
         DJ Blaque gave the guests hot jamz as Kunle's girlfriend, Baby and Dami served the guests small chops while Kunle gave them drinks.



      Behind Closed Door:
  " Baby, I know I'm not supposed to just propose in front of people when we have unsettled issues, I......."
    "It's not that Dave, I have something to tell you" she paused and broke into tears.
     "Tee, what is it?" he asked hugging her.
      "I'm pregnant......................"
       ".............That's good news, we are about getting married" he cut her off.
      "Nooooooo! I'm one month pregnant for a stranger, a freaking stranger that I have no idea who he is or what he looks like" she snapped crying the more.
       Smiling and hugging her, he said;
       "I still love you Tee and respect your honesty"
       "Dave you don't get! I cheated on you" she said bowing her head
        ".....You broke up already yeah?" he replied smiling
 She felt he was mocking her with his response, why was he smiling and acting all nice?
        " I know I'm a whore, I'm silly and all, insult me! It would be better than smiling at me and mocking me" she said staring hard at him.
      "Baby, I'm not mocking you. Sit down first" he said still smiling as he opened his wardrobe.
       Throwing a black polythene bag on the bed, he asked her to check it out. Opening it, her heart jumped into her mouth as she saw her mask and purse in it.
      "Dave what is this? You set me up?" she asked angrily.
      "Calm your tits baby, let me tell you what happened" he said as he sat beside her.
       "After receiving your text message, I decided to call but you kept cutting my calls, meanwhile I had just finished settling the quarrel between Kunle and his girlfriend Baby and......."
       "Wait! was it Baby you were talking to on the phone when I overheard you?" she asked eyes wide open.
      "Yes, she called me earlier while I was at the office to tell me about  Kunle's misbehavior so I told her I would call her when I got home. I was actually talking to Kunle about them when he asked me when I was getting married to you and you heard that. I was calling Baby to come over to the house and you know how we all play" he said still smiling.
     "How do you I know I heard about the marriage discussion between you and Kunle" she asked with a suspicious look on her face.
      "You told me" he sighed.
    "I don't get" she asked now confused.
    "See long and short of it all baby is that we came to your place and didn't see you, Baby told us of a certain mask party her friend's events company was organizing and we planned to go on  a double date but we didn't see you, so I went alone with them to catch fun and snap out from the mood your text message put me in. The moment I saw you in  that club, I knew you were the one" he said.
     "Dave, the least you could have done was to tell me not act like a total stranger" she said sobbing.
       "Stop sobbing, you were tipsy, didn't know what made you send me that text, neither did I want to spoil your mood, moreover it was fun knowing you couldn't recognize behind a mask" he said laughing.
      "Dave I was drunk, you bought me Hennessy which you knew was my favorite, *she paused* baby I'm sorry, I know I don't deserve your love anymore, I truly......."
       "Hush, I still love you, moreover that night made me go home and think about what I wanted out of life, all the pain I caused you all these while that you bottled up, you spilled everything under the influence of alcohol, we were both at fault though you always assume which is wrong" he said hugging her.
        Going on his knees again, he asked her;
       "So Tee, would you be my wife and give me this gift of a child growing inside you? would you spend the rest of your life with me?"
        "Yes baby, yes yes yes! I will be your wife forever and a day more" she said crying.

                                                            THE END
