SPEECHLESSNESS
EPISODE 15
Thelma was on her way to pay her boyfriend a surprise visit, he called and told her that he would spend the weekend with his FAMILY, she was bored and tired of staying at home alone, she boarded a taxi to his house.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
******** Debbie was having a good time with Noel, he was spoiling her with lots of things. They just returned from an afternoon shopping, and she had quick bath and retired to the bed, it was clear that Noel was head over heels in love with her and she loved him too, to her surprise, he had never asked for sex since three days they arrived their hotel. He came out of the bathroom tying his robe, Debbie was almost dozing off when he crawled to her side.
“Baby I’m tired of this place, we need a change of environment,” he said
She lazily turned to face him.
“But baby, this place is cool and I love it”
“We’re going to Akwa Ibom tomorrow morning” he announced to her.
She was so excited as she has always dreamt of spending time with her boyfriend there
“Oh baby, you’re too much, I love you so much”
“I love you too, I’ve told my mum about you and she’s eager to meet you, you’ll visit her when next you return to Abuja, she just cant wait to see my future wife”
She was already blushing, this will be the best news her mummy would receive for the year.
He tickled her and she couldn’t stop laughing, they ended up in each other’s arms
They were lost staring deep into each other’s eyes, he bent over and kissed her passionately, she responded immediately, before they knew it, their clothes were already scattered on the floor.
“Oh baby I love you so much, you’re so sweet, I dont feel like stopping” he moaned
“Oh baby, I ’ve missed this alot, I love you too baby,”
They were both sweating under the AC as they lay on the bed after having fun.
“Baby, I love you so much” he whispered into her ears and she giggled.
“Baby, I’m scared of getting pregnant, I don’t want to tie you down with pregnancy”
“I’ll be the happiest man on earth if that happens, dont bother about that baby” he assured her
They chatted for some minutes before nature came calling on them.

******** Mirabel rushed to answer the door when she heard the bell ring, she opened the door and hugged Thelma who was at the other side of the door.
“How’re you Mirabel?”
“I’m fine, you’re looking so beautiful, my brother told me you’re now together” she said leading her into the sitting room, where she settled down on a sofa.
“Yeah, we’re together, So where’s George?” she asked
“He went to pick uncle Gabriel from the airport, they’ll soon be home”
“Uncle Gabriel, who is he?” she asked looking astonished
“He’s my dad’s cousin that lives in Germany, I’ve met him once when I was five, dad would have gone to pick him but he travelled to the village ”
”So did mummy travel with him?”
”No, we had a little family problem and she left the house”
Thelma was shocked because she had always admired the Ufomba family and wished she had a family like theirs, she never imagined their mum leaving the house.
“Why didn’t George tell me about it, I noticed he was looking worried the last he visited me, I tried asking him but I waved it off,” she thought to herself hitting her hand on her forehead
“Ooooops, I think they’re back, I’ll be right back” Mirabel said running outside
The door opened and the gateman brought in some luggages, George, his uncle and Mirabel followed behind.
“Good evening sir,” Thelma greeted him
“Good evening,” he replied as hestared at her beautiful body.
George cleared his throat
“Uncle, meet my girlfriend, Thelma,”
“Oh, such a beauty to behold, you sure have a good taste boy”
“Thelma, this is my uncle, uncle Gabriel”
“Thelma, you’re so beautiful, don’t break his heart oo, I know men will be after you” he said jokingly
“Thank you sir, how’re your kids doing?”
“Kids?,,,, I’m not yet married dear, I came home to get a home made girl for a wife” he winked her
She was shocked that such a handsome man is yet to get married, she calculated his age and from her calculations, she ended up believing he must be in his late thirties,
“Uncle G, you need a change of cloth and good food, your food is almost ready, let me quickly take you to your room for a warm bath” he said dragging of his bags up the stairs
He called in the house keeper and the cook, and introduced them to his uncle, they helped him carry the remaining bags upstairs while Uncle G followed behind.

******Noel and Debbie woke up the same time hungry. Debbie’s stomach was grumbling, she checked her time and it was 6.30pm.
“Oh my God, I overslept” she said tying her towel round her chest
“Baby let’s shower together and go to the restaurant downstairs and get something to eat” Noel told her.
They showered together and wore their clothes, he begged her to hold onto his hand, as heads will be turning at them as she was looking breathtaking.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thelma and George went to his room after eating, it was getting late and she needed to spend some time with him before going home, He changed his clothes and got busy with his laptop.
“I’m sorry for not being there for you when you needed me the most, I’m sorry for everything that happened” she said hugging him from the back
He closed his laptop and turned
“What are you talking….”
She cut him short by covering his mouth with her hands,
“I know about your mum, I’m sorry about that”
“Who told you about her” he threw at her surprisingly
“Mirabel did, why didn’t you tell me about it?
You’ve been passing through this alone and couldn’t share it with me, what am I to you? You know I love you so much and cant stand seeing you suffer alone” she said in tears.
“I’m sorry for not telling you, I don’t want to bother you with my family problem”
“It ‘s OK, but remember, I’m always here for you”
She embraced him tightly.
“I’ll leave now” she said picking up her handbag.
“Is it not late for you to go? My dad is not around, you can sleep over”
“Hell no!!!, I won’t do that, I’ll sleep over when the right time comes”she said pecking him
He called a cab to drop her at home and the cabman dropped her in front of her house, she alighted and thanked him. George had taken care of the fare. She meant to open the door to their flat when her phone rang and she picked it.
“I’m sorry I’m late, I’ll be there in thirty minutes” she ended the call and hurried into the house to have a change of cloth.
