EPISODE 7
“Jeff wake up” Jane has been trying to get Jeffery to stand up for the past ten minutes but he keeps tossing and changing position instead of standing up.
“Oh God, baby it’s Sunday. Allow me to still sleep a little”
“That’s why you need to wake up, it’s Sunday. We are supposed to be packing for our trip and not sleeping, remember we are traveling this week?”
Jeffery turned on his stomach and continued sleeping. Jane pulled out his duvet cover and just then, Jeffery pulled her into the bed. Jane shrieked as she fell on him.
“Since you pulled off my cover, you might as give me some warmth”
“Jeff stand up and let’s pack our bags for our trip”
Jeffery brushed a stray hair out of her face. “Have I told you how beautiful you look this morning?”

*Few minutes later*
Jane was in a state of bliss, as she turned to face Jeffery who was staring intently at her, as he placed his finger in his mouth and licked it slowly. Jane immediately kssed him to have a taste of herself on his lips.
“Where did you learn to do that?” She asked dreamingly.
“You mean to fk you incredibly with my fingers?”
Jane who was too ashamed to say the word, nodded her head. Jeffery smiled.
“You know you can say the word right? It’s fk” he kept teasing her with his finger. Jane threw her head backwards in pleasure. And as she threw her leg across his lap to give him more access, he withdrew his finger and stood up.
“I think you were waking me to help you pack?”
“What?”
“Get up babe let’s start packing, we have a trip to prepare for remember?” Jeffery smiled at her as he walked into the bathroom. Leaving Jane lying on the wondering, if Jeffery was going to make heaven for leaving her hanging.

*The next day*
“Amaka, don’t you think you should rethink this properly? For all you know, things might workout between you two”
“I don’t like him. Period! Please let’s change the topic”
“You are just trying to run away from the obvious”
“Which is?”
“You love Dele and you know it”
“Keep telling yourself that, abeg talk about something else because this topic is beginning to give me constipation”
“Amaka?” Jane moved closer to her on the bed and held her hands. “I don’t want you to make the same mistake I almost made”
“Which is?”
“Fighting love. You like Dele, it’s obvious even before he asked you out. Why don’t you give yourself a chance to love? I mean, that is what you always tell me”
Amaka sat up on the bed resting her back against the headboard. “You know, if Dele had come to me with this proposal a month ago, I would have jumped at it, but right now my answer is no”
“But why?”
“Because, I’m tired of jumping from one man to the other, hoping to have my void filled by them. I can’t continue living like this. I need to learn to be whole being by myself”
Ever since Amaka’s heart was broken by Seun, and she lost her pregnancy, all she has ever done was date numerous men. Somehow, she was hoping to find another person who was going to love her and take away all the pains Seun caused her. But instead, each man came with his own pain and heartache. Making Amaka to jump to the next one, and then the next and so the cycle continued. Now she is burned out from dating.
“You know, I always thought I was the one meeting the wrong guys, but then I realized that most of the time, the relationship doesn’t workout because I’m carrying my baggage into the relationship, hoping to be fixed by those men” And every time, she discovered that even the men had their own baggage too.
“So what are you going to do?” Jane asked as she stood up to give Amaka handkerchief to wipe her tears.
“I don’t know yet, but what I’m certain of right now, is that I’m putting a pause on dating for now”
“Until when?”
“I’m able to fix my issues”
Jane hugged her “if there’s anything I could do to help, please don’t hesitate to let me know”
“There’s something actually”
“What is it?” Jane pulled out of the hug to look at Amaka’s face.
“Give me gist, have you and Jeffery done it yet?” she asked smiling.
“Come, what has that got to do with what we are discussing?”.
“Were you not the one who asked, anything you can do to help? And this topic is a good therapy for me. Oya start talking” Amaka was grinning from ear to ear as she waited for Jane to start talking.
“Well.. we haven’t really done it”
“Which one is you haven’t really done it? It’s a yes or no question. Yes we have done it, or no we haven’t”
“Okay, so we have done basically every other thing but penetrative sx”
“Are you sure something is not wrong down there?” Amaka asked with concern.
“Nooo I don’t think so, whenever we engage in f®replay, it’s always ere¢t. Most times I even fear if it will fit”
“Hmmmmm….. you haven’t had sx ever since that incidence have you?” Amaka was referring to Jane being rapped.
“No I haven’t”
“And that is over ten years now, right?”
Jane nodded
“That’s means, you are some sort of a vrgin again”
“No I’m not”
“Yes you are. You haven’t had sx for a very long time, your hymen is most likely to have grown back and you might find sx a bit painful again at your next time. I think that is why Jeffery is taking his time to prepare your mind and body for the main action by engaging in more of f®replay”
“You think so?”
“It’s just a thought, I’m not sure”
“Any advice on what I should do?”
“You need to get a lubricant, especially on this trip just in case something goes down”
“What would I need it for?” Jane asked with a confused look.
“You don’t know what a lubricant is, do you?” Jane shook her head indicating she doesn’t.
“Where have been living? Under a rock?”

November is always the worst month of the year for Dele and 30th is the hardest day for him, for it was on that day, his parents died.
Jeffery had to move his trip with Jane to the weekend because the remembrance they always held for Dele’s parents was that week and, he had to be around him.
WHEN LOVE JUST HAPPENS 2 : EPISODE 1 – 10
Five years ago, on the day of the remembrance, Dele got so drunk he almost jumped off the top of a building. Ever since then, Jeffery has learnt to never leave him to be by himself on that day. Because of that, he always tries to schedule his work calendar in such a way that on that particular day, he is free. No meetings, no trips.
“I don’t think I will be going to visit my parents at the cemetery tomorrow” Dele said to Jeffery as they sat at a lounge having drinks.
Every year, him, Anita and the Ademolas always take flowers to the cemetery on the rememberance day.
“But why not? Do you want to do something else?”
“No, I don’t just want to go. My parents would be ashamed of me, especially my mother”
“What are you talking about man? If anything, I think they would be very proud of you. I mean look at who you have become. You have been able to manage your father’s company so well, you have expanded to two other states in the country. Who wouldn’t be proud of that?”
“I still haven’t made peace with their death. Man I can’t even live in a spacious apartment”
When Dele got his first house, it was a two bedroom duplex. He was always going to spend the night at Jeffery’s or his parents house. This got everyone worried until he opened up to them that, he couldn’t stay alone because a big apartment made him feel lonely and yearned for his parents, making him cry every time he got back from work. He later went to therapy and his therapist advised he got a smaller apartment.
“Guy, you living in a small apartment doesn’t make you a failure, you will move into a bigger one once you start your own family”
“Which is never going to happen”
“How do you mean?”
“She rejected me, she said she is never going to date me. I’m going to be alone for the rest of my life”
“Dele what are you talking about?”
“Amaka, she rejected me when I asked her if we could date”
Jeffery could understand what Dele was going through, he went through same thing when Jane had rejected him at first.
“But that doesn’t mean you should give up, you can persuade her, make her see reasons to date you”
That night Dele had so much to drink, until Jeffery had to force him to stop. He couldn’t even stand properly without wavering, so Jeffery had to drive him home.
“Come on man, you don’t have to drive me home, I’m totally sober I promise”
“Dele, you are a far cry from being sober, I made a mistake of allowing you to drink too much and I’m not going to make same mistake twice by allowing you to drive yourself, I have told the lounge manager you would be coming to get your car tomorrow”
When they arrived at Dele’s apartment, Jeffery helped into bed.
“Guy all these things you are doing is not necessary” Dele grumbled.
“If you talk too much now, I will lie down and snuggle next to you”
“Guy abeg this is enough, you can leave. It’s even useless because I will still have to stand up and lock my door”
WHEN LOVE JUST HAPPENS 2 : EPISODE 1 – 10
After Jeffery had left, Dele waited a while before he dressed up, took his second car key and drove down to Amaka’s apartment.
Amaka and Jane were sleeping when they heard a loud bang on the door. They both sat up in fear, none of them making any attempt to go and open the door.
“I thought you said Mr. Okafor’s son was dead?” Amaka whispered to Jane.
“Yes is” Jane whispered back.
“Then who is knocking at the door by this time of the night? Wait what if he didn’t die? Maybe he is still alive. Chineke…. Our own is finished. Jane quick, let’s hide under the bed” Amaka quickly got down from the bed to go under the bed when she heard her name at the door.
“Amaka! Amaka! Open the door”
“He came for me this time” she whispered in fear and then started to pray ”blood of Jesus o, I soak myself in the blood of Jesus. Father please send your angels to fight for us o, chineke God biko come and help us o” Amaka opened her eyes to see Jane walking to the door. “Jane are you mad? Where are you going to?” she whispered in a barely audible voice.
“That’s Dele’s voice I’m hearing” Jane whispered back as she placed her ear to the door.
“Amaka please open up, I need to talk to you, I’m begging you, please” Dele called out as he knocked again.
“The nerve!” Amaka immediately got up and went to open the door to find a drunken Dele standing there.
“What do you think you are doing, Coming to knock at my door by this time of the night?”
“I need to talk to you Amaka”
“It’s twelve midnight, Dele go home I’m sure whatever it is can wait until tomorrow” Amaka tried closing the door but Dele held it with his leg
“I’m begging you please, Amaka”
“Okay fine, what is it?”
“Amaka I love you, please don’t leave me. I’m sorry for the pains I caused you, I promise I will never hurt you. Please come back to me”
“I’m sorry Dele but I can’t”
“But why not?”
“Because I’m broken, I’m damaged goods and I’m sure you don’t want that”
“I’m not complaining, I don’t mind, we can work it out. But please don’t leave me”
“I’m sorry but I can’t” Amaka jammed the door in his face and went back to bed. Dele kept banging on the door and calling Amaka to come out and talk to him. Jane had to finally open the door for him, and the moment she did, she regretted it. For he threw up on her and passed out.
