Episode 20
“Lola Please stop what you’re doing” he begged struggling to free himself while closing his eyes so he wouldn’t see her nakedness, “why should I when it’s obvious you’re enjoying it?” She said looking down at him, “I’ll only stop when I see a STOP sign” she chuckled slowly kissing down his neck and went ahead to force herself on him. Jeff’s heart was beating fast, he could feel his whole body betraying him, “what about Lara?” he begged as Lola pulled his shirt off, “think about her, how do you think she would feel if she finds out?”“I know my sister more than you do, she’s probably doing worse with her boss as we speak” Lola replied, “and don’t worry about her finding out, it’s just the two of us here, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas!” She said with a mischievous smile.
Jeff thought of the possibility of what Lola had just said about Lara and reasoned that she might be right, “that’s probably the reason she’s been comfortable not sleeping with me for so long” he thought, even Franklin had suggested it too at some point, “Go ahead and do it,nobody’s going to know” he heard a voice similar to Franklin’s say in his head while he was still contemplating, Jeff immediately concluded that there was no need struggling at that point as the deed was as good as done. He didn’t care if she had Chlamydia, a se.xually transmitted infection that affects both men and women and sometimes doesn’t show any signs or symptoms making people unaware that they even have it. Other times, symptoms such as pain in the genital area, discharge from the women’s or men’s private parts may be present; it usually is not difficult to treat, however, failure to treat it may lead to serious complications. Jeff didn’t even see the woman on the bed with him as Lola anymore, all he saw was “succulent strawberry”……
The next morning, he woke up to find himself in Lola’s bed with her lying in his arms and he was suddenly brought back to his senses, “Gosh! What did I just do?” He exclaimed springing out of bed and causing Lola to wake up, “I’m sorry” she said rubbing her eyes, “I guess I had too much to drink last night. I promise I won’t tell Lara anything” she said yawning nonchalantly like there was no big deal about what had happened between them, Jeff got up from the bed, put his clothes on hurriedly and walked out of her room without saying a word to her.
He kept beating himself up every time he remembered that he betrayed his wife, he didn’t know how he was going to face her without feeling guilty when she return. He locked himself up in his room all morning, by the time he finally decided to come out, he was greeted by the aroma of omelette with freshly made tea specially prepared by Lola, “I was just about to come and get you” she said setting the tray of breakfast on the dining table as Jeff came down the stairs, “I made breakfast for us” she said smiling, “I’m not interested ” Jeff replied picking his car keys and heading for the door, Lola immediately followed behind him and stopped him before he walked out, “look I’m sorry about what happened last night ”she began as she stood at the doorway refusing to let Jeff out, “We both didn’t plan for it and it was in no way any of your fault so you need to stop beating yourself up.
If you keep acting like this when Lara is around, she’s going to suspect something, I know her to well” she continued, “so please just let’s forget about the past and move on” she begged. “I’ve heard you” Jeff replied, “and I’m sure I’ll be fine before she gets back” he said gently pushing her aside and walking out….***
“What? You mean you hit the jackpot?” Franklin said getting up from behind his desk and walking towards Jeff after he was done recounting what happened the previous night, “you’re the bomb” he said jumping up and down excitedly, ignoring the look of disgust Jeff was giving him, “I thought you were a pastor?” He said bursting into laughter, “anyway I knew that was just a cover up, pastor too dey like better thing” he teased. “Look it’s not funny” Jeff managed to say, “I don’t know why you find it amusing” he scolded, “oh! Please” Franklin interrupted raising his hand to shut him up, “when you were enjoying your succulent strawberry and not remembering your guy, it was funny then, it’s now after you’ve finished chopping that you’re here speaking English” he hissed, “better enjoy the enjoyment while it lasts before she gets tired of you and moves on to someone that has money, you know say you no get anything again” he said bursting into another fit of laughter. “I should’ve known better than to waste my time coming here” Jeff replied picking his car keys from the desk and walking towards the door, “I’m sorry for you, you had better change” he added before walking out, “sorry for yourself bro” Franklin called out to him in between bursts of laughter, “enjoy the attention while it lasts…. The next few days between Jeff and Lola were awkward, for some reason, she had decided to stay back in the house and start going to campus from home again,Jeff barely spoke to her; after returning home from his fruitless job search, he would come home and lock himself up in his room refusing to eat anything Lola made. One day after returning from another frustrating session of searching for jobs, he felt depressed and really needed to talk to someone, he flung the folder containing his credentials on the table in the living room and sank into the couch dialing Lara’s number, “hey babe how’s it going?”He said when she picked up, he was excited to hear her voice, usually she was always too busy to take his calls during the day, “hey sweety, I’m in a meeting” she hurriedly replied, “we’re just about to close a major deal,I’ll call you soon” she said hanging up before he could even say another word.
