Bukky Alakara 3

CHAPTER THREE Bukky got down from the bus and started to walk home. She sighted Gbemiga standing at a corner and wondered who he was waiting for. She waved at him and walked past, but, he held her by the elbow. “I have been waiting for you.” “Really?” she seized him up. He looked fresh, as if he had just had his bath. He smelled well too. The red tee shirt and black jeans did justice to his good looking features. “Yes. Have you forgotten what today is?” he released her hand. Her eyes darted about. What was he getting at? She hoped her aunt was home. It would be great if she had also prepared dinner. A nice bath, then a palatable meal, what more could one ask for? “It’s the fifteenth of August.” She shifted on both feet, “So?” Her response didn’t go down well with him, “I can’t believe you forgot our birthday.” “Oh… that… I didn’t forget,” she scratch...

The car is still at the spot where I stood before. “how can a car which was moving in a fast rate suddenly stop and I suddenly find my self under a tree when I was standing close to the car few seconds ago?”I asked aloud in a high pitch of voice while standing with my Books hold famely to my chest. “wisdom please wait for me” I heard from my side at the direction of the car and I took a quick glance at the side and I saw Vincent trying to come out from the gutter where he dived into.

CHAPTER TWO Bukky walked out of the house, clad in a blue jeans and a blue fitted tee-shirt. She held her small black hand bag close and headed down the street in a black low heel sandal. She took the turning that led to the bus-stop and saw Gbemiga afar off. Her heart missed a beat. She had a flashback of the other night. The way he looked at her and the intense feeling that coursed through her body when he touched her face. She closed her eyes and tried to block the memory. She had heard her elder sister talking with her friends about how she had, had a crush on a boy in their area. What she described was a bit similar to what she was experiencing, although hers seemed a little bit too fast. She had only known Gbemiga for a couple of days and the sudden likeness seemed too soon. The attraction made matters worse. Was it possible to feel so strongly for someone one just met? Maybe it was one of those things and it would fade away. What if it didn’t? She had never...

episode 32 THE GENTLEMAN’S PERK NIGHT CLUB The music is loud. An all-girl band is playing, and revellers are dancing and having a good time. In lighted glass booths at vantage points around the club are beautiful girls wearing only G-strings and high boots, dancing and gyrating and showing off their bare b-----s and derrieres. The bar is probably the longest in the world. It is exquisitely lighted, and stretches in long and curved apertures along one side, and it is manned by ten barmen at a time. There is an eatery on the second floor, a mini casino on the third floor and the fourth floor caters for the sexual deviations of the wealthiest people. In a private lounge on the fourth floor, dimly-lit and filled with soft music, are Jonathan Afful, Steve Hollison and a few of their friends. Naked girls of various nationalities move among them, some serving drinks, others giving a more ‘specialized’ form of service. Jonathan Afful, his shirt discarded and wearing ...
