It was a sunny afternoon, February 22, 2014, a day after
my birthday. I had spent my birthday night at work on night shift. So my ever-cooperating
lover understand that I needed to be at work and that I will totally be hers
the next day which happens to be my off day.
All through that night, I never reached out or give my
lover any attention; not even during my break. I knew she would understand that
I was working.
When the shift ended that morning, I wasted no time in
heading home- where my lover and I met. On getting home, she allowed me take my
bath and go for a light food. I was barely done with the food when she pushed
me closer to my bed. I staggered; hoping that I could convince her that I
wasn't ready, but at last, she won- I was right there on the bed. I was weak
that morning.
I pleaded with my lover to allow me reflect on how I
spent my birthday the previous day, and by extension the task I took at work
that night. My plea never got her attention. She begged for my attention and
romance.
"Please,
this is my time, allow me". she pleaded.
She romantically made me unfasten my belt, and before I
finished with the belt, she had completely taken charge of me. I took a breath
and closed my eyes in response to the feelings, and we started it. I didn't
blame my Lover for not giving me time to 'rest' as I requested before she got
hold of me. She only acted wisely. Most of the time when I was supposed to
spend quality time with her, I wouldn't! I would rather spend time pinging and
chatting with friends and browse the internet.
Sometimes, if I am not attending a church programme, I
would be at one social gathering or the other. I seldom find quality time to
satisfy her. So that day, she hurriedly pushed me onto the bed, I had no choice
than to comply and satisfy her deeply. Then, One hour into our affair, my phone
rang.
My lover understands that I give topmost attention to my
calls and messages. She knows that my phone do not disappear from my sight for
a minute. I appreciate my lover for understanding the attention I give to my
phone. She would never complain. She is such an understanding lover.
The call was from my friend, Alex. He was already at the
venue of the party our friend, Tunde invited us to. Tunde happens to be my
birthday mate. He had just bought a brand new car so he invited us to rejoice
and merry with him in a double celebration (remember it was a day after our
birthday).
Alex put the call through to me immediately he got to the
venue and noticed my absence. Alex's call distracted my lover and I from
enjoying the next stage we were taken our affair to. My lover didn't like the
fact that our affair was interrupted but she had no choice. I struggled out of
my lover's 'captivity' and answered the call- but I never left the bed.
"We are
expecting you at Tunde's party, where are you"? Alex inquired.
"Ehnehn",
really? "I will be with you shortly", I manage to answer.
After I dropped the phone, she gripped me and we continued
our affair- I was so weak because I needed to satisfy her and her passions overpowered
me that day. On many occasions, when we are gone deep in our affair, I would suddenly and forcefully release
myself from her to attend to other issues, at a time I ought not to leave her.
So when she held on to me that day, I had no objection to what she was doing.
Forty-five minutes after Alex's call, we are still not satisfied with our affair
despite the fact that we had so many 'styles' to attain climax. She was fully
in-charge.
I made an attempt to free myself from her captivity but
she would not allow me. Her grip was stronger than that of kirikiri prison. She
lured and caressed me back to bed. She whispered into my mind saying "Not
now, give me more time." It was her own pay -back time, and she was doing
it perfectly.
Those days that I do ignore her when I ought not to, I
would remind her of the training and teachings I got from one of my lecturers
when I was in school five years ago.
" This is not the time to attend to your lover, the
time to attend to her is not now. Look, I have been awake since 2:00am, and
that was when I left my lover. A time will come, you will be with your lover, and
nothing will take you away from her." Ozo, as he is fondly called, my
mentor and lecturer would counsel us at his 'off-campus' office- where he
conducts his consultancy business. Ozo would respond in that manner to our (his
students) plea and request any time we remind him it's time to go home after
several hours of going through stress; working together in his office.
"Look, the
time to spend quality time with you
hasn't come". I would re-echoed this statement to my lover even when she "naturally"
owns that time or period.
My lover would never complain. Sometimes, when she does,
she does it compassionately with love and understanding. She is gentle and
worries me not! That day, I knew she won't allow me attend the party. At a time
our affair was getting to its peak, I felt the heat- there was no power-supply.
I stood up to use the toilet; apparently to answer the call of nature. Afraid
that I might find my escape from there, and neglect her as usual, my lover
followed me to the toilet; stylishly pushing and romancing me here and there -
I was weak! Shortly, I was back in bed
with her, and our affair continued. Finally, about few minutes to six pm, she released
me from her warm embrace.
When I gathered the strength to comport myself, I sat at
the edge of the bed and took my phone. I
attempted calling Alex; to ask if the party was still going on, my eyes
gazed at the time on my phone. It was 6:00pm! "The party would be
over" I concluded within me. I looked at the bed, smiled and I whispered
"she was in-charge today". It was SLEEP, my lover, that took charge
that day!
Writer's Note: (Fact-based fiction). On Saturday,
February 22nd, 2014,
I was to attend a friend's birthday party but that didn't
come to be. Although, I was engaged at work the night proceeding that day, but the
unusual experience that characterized my absence at the event was what thrilled
me. It has always been my usual habit to 'cheat nature' by ignoring rest/sleep.
So when I couldn't attend the event due to the way ( a love-affair approach) in
which nature took charge that day, it was only thoughtful of me to put it into
writing.
One major factor that strengthens this habit of mine was
due to the people and mentors I am working and that I have worked with. One of
them is my former lecturer then in college (He believes that one can only rest
when LIFE is no more present in one's body). These are people who find it difficult
to rest due to work load. They almost work all day and replicate such on a
daily basis.
However, I strongly acknowledge that to take a rest as at
when due is nonnegotiable. But to some of us who are in the habit of
"cheating nature", one question that continues to linger on my minds
is that: Shall we continue to rest when the time of 'rest' has not come?
So take time out this weekend and spend quality time with
your 'Lover'. I wish you and your lover the very best, get to climax. Have a
blessed weekend. Thanks to BackYardstudio and the brain behind it all. Cheers!
