.
Me: Same here too, but you know I can’t be doing that missy missy thing for now
.
Cynthia: (Grumbles) Sebi you said you’re getting better now
.
Me: So? Wait make I heal finish now sho. No kill me for my family abeg
.
Cynthia: Me no gree o but sha, we go talk when we see
.
Me: I don hear. Enjoy yourself, but remember to bring something
.
Cynthia: Sure now. Ok. Let me go join the family for the wake keep. We’ll talk later
.
Me: Alright. Have fun
.
I thought I would never lie to Cynthia. That was a straight up lie. I didn’t even tell her I did a road jug. I looked at myself and all I saw was a guy falling in love! Yes. That’s the only explanation for the way I’ve been feeling for Ini these couple of days. In all my affairs with ladies, I tried not to be too emotionally attached, Just yansh them and leave
.
But Ini, there is something different. The motivation of yanshing a Calabar Girl is not enough a reason to feel this way, seriously. Was it because of the way Cynthia treated her the day she met her in my house? Maybe so because after that day, I developed a kind of soft feeling for Ini; maybe a sympathetic-turned-affectionate feeling. I just can’t place it
.
I switched my attention to my thoughts about what’s going down tonight. It was as if I never had s*x before all my life. The feeling was electrifying, captivating and exhilarating. I was so into Ini that I never even bothered to ask about her past relationships. E no matter abi? As long as she had made her allegiance to me, the rest doesn’t bother me. Like a yoruba adage that says
.
“Eni ti a n ba n’oja la n wo, enikan ki i wo ariwo oja (You are only concerned with what you want to buy from the seller, not the noise from the market square)”
.
whatever had happened in her past will be a subject for another day. Tonight is about Femi and Ini, and nothing else
.
Around some minutes before 8pm, Ini texted me
.
“I am going home now. Can you come downstairs to walk me to the bus stop?”
.
Dem dey say no to that kind request. Like someone who is been chased out house, I ran downstairs without locking my door. When she saw me, she was all smile

Me: Don’t stay too long at home please. You know it’s getting darker, and it could be dangerous you know?
.
Ini: I won’t. I will just take a shower, changed my cloth to something light, take some food and I’ll be on my way
.
Me: No need to shower now. There is enough water in my place. You can come take your shower here. You know you women stay too long in the bathroom
.
Ini: Oga Femi, I won’t stay long in the bathroom o. Trust me, I’ll be very brief
.
Me: Ok oo. That reminds me, should I get a…, errrmmm, you know, …a CD?
.
Ini: Nigerian or American? If it is Nigerian,I love Igbo films; but if it is American,I like anyone except the one they are shooting anyhow
.
Me: Ini, I am not talking about films. Don’t u know what CD is?
.
Ini: Ha? CD now, what we play inside a CD or DVD player
.
Me: Ini,I mean condom
.
Ini:Oh, you should have said condom; instead of of trying to polish it. You are funny oo. Well, I will leave that to you to decide
.
Me:Ok oo. No problem. Don’t stay long sha oo, I beg you
.
Ini:Oga Femi, King Femi, your queen won’t stay long. It’s a promise
.
Ini joined a bus, and I went back home. Gongo aso, kutupu a wu (9ice)
.
Like a contestant who is at the mercy of the host and his fate after answering a 50/50 question on Who Wants to be a Millionaire show,I sat in the sitting room waiting, hoping, anticipating and, since I called it a vigil, praying. I began thinking about the ‘what ifs': What if she decided to punish me? What if her sister changed her mind about allowing her leave? What if her sister even decided to come to the supposed ‘church’ with her? What if something happened and she was not able to make it tonight?
.
All the what ifs filled my head until I was bailed out of the thought by the biggest rat in the world, lurking around my window
.
9pm,Ini never show. Hmm. I hope say this girl no put me for long thing
.
To be honest with you guys, I was feeling so sharp, healthy and ready that evening, the way I always feel before I got sick; only that this time around,not knowing how it happened, I felt incredibly strong physically and, *coughs* excuse me,I felt so powerful like PDP in her infancy

DIARY OF AN ADDICT - Episode 91
.
Every part of my body was roaring to go. My only fear was just that, I hope Ini will cope with my waves of attack when I am in the mood. I took solace however in the common myth that Calabar Girls no dey tire; instead, na you go beg last. But I doubted it: how a whole me go beg girl? On top wetin now? Taaaa. Na she go beg me
.
All those thoughts helped me filled up the space as I await the arrival of the queen, the one to whom this wait and fuss was all about, Ini
.
9:23pm, I heard a knock on my door. Garfar was knocking
.
Garfar: Oga, na me Garfar
.
Me: Come inside
.
Garfar: Ha Oga, somebody dey for gate dey ask for you
.
Me: Who is that person? Male or female?
.
Garfar: Oga na woman, Ini
.
Me: Ini? Let her come inside now
.
Garfar: Oga it is after 9 Oga. Me I don lock gate before Oga
.
Me: Don’t worry. Open the gate for her, she is not going back tonight
.
Garfar: Ehn Oga?
.
Me: Open the gate for her ok?
.
Garfar left with disappointment, shock and bewilderment written all over his face. I understood his frustrations. He was shocked because it appears Ini was going to pass the night in my house. He had told about his desire to have Ini before but I discouraged him But here and now, the person I discouraged him about is coming to pass the night in my house
.
It was a demoralizing discovery for him that evening. I felt for him too. In fact, if not for the task at hand, I would have cancelled the appointment. But you and I know that’s never gonna happen. God forbid. I decided to call Garfar later and explain things to him. But this night, no remorse, no going back
.
Ini: What is wrong with that your gate man tonight?
.
Me: What happened?
.
Ini: He looked rather unhappy to see me. I’ve been at the gate for more than 10mins arguing with him. He was telling me that it is late to see you until I threatened him that I was going to report him to you. That was when he eventually came upstairs to tell you
.
Me: Eeyah! Sorry. You know I was part of the law makers that agreed to locking the gate by 9pm with no further admittance into the compound, except for emergency situations
