WHEN LOVE JUST HAPPENS 2 : EPISODE 1 – 10
EPISODE 8
“Amaka get up and come help me carry him inside” Jane who has been trying to drag Dele into the room by herself to no avail, was now breathing heavily, and was at the verge of puking for she still had Dele’s vomit on her night wear.
“Shebi you are the one that went to open the door for him?” Amaka grumbled as she reluctantly stood up from the bed and came to assist Jane in carrying Dele inside.
“Let’s see if we can place him on the bed” Jane said, after they had managed to take him inside.
“Bia this girl, it’s as if you have too much strength. You saw how difficult it was for us to carry him inside, now you want us to put him on the bed?”
“We can’t just leave him on the floor, he might catch a cold, let’s put him on the bed please”
“Then, where will I sleep? Where will you yourself sleep?”
“You both can stay on the bed, I can manage the couch”
“You are not serious, leave him on the floor. When he comes to his senses he will go to his house”
“Amaka please help me carry him to the bed, remember he nursed you back to health just few days ago”
After much persuasion from Jane, Amaka finally begrudgingly helped her in carrying Dele to the bed.
“Let’s just hope he hasn’t broken any bone with the way you kept pulling at his arm angrily” Jane said as she went into the bathroom to wash up.
When she came out of the bathroom, she found Amaka sitting on the couch watching Dele sleep. Jane joined her and they both sat watching him.
“Only God knows what would have made him this drunk” Amaka said.
“You of course, he must have taken your rejection badly”
“I doubt that, there must be more to it”
“How do you mean?”
“While you were in the bathroom, he kept mumbling something about his parents forgiving him”
“What do think we should do?”
“We have already done our best, we forfeited our bed for him. Now I will have to watch him crash all night”
“I’m sorry, but I couldn’t leave him to sleep on the floor”
“No problem, just know if I come down with a migraine at the office tomorrow, I’m holding you responsible”
First thing the next morning, Jane called Jeffery to come pick Dele who was still sleeping like a dead man on their bed.
When he arrived, Dele was still sleeping. So he had to wake him up.
“Dele wake up” Jeffery tapped him gently until Dele stirred and opened his eyes. “Guy wake up, you need to go to your apartment. You have already deprived the ladies of their sleep, at least let them have back their privacy”
Dele sat up slowly as he took in his surrounding. “How did I get here?”
“You passed out last night, so they took you in, come on let me take you home” Jeffery helped Dele to stand to his feet and walked him to his car. “You will have to come back for your car when you are much sober. Don’t forget you left your other car at the lounge too”

After Jeffery had helped Dele into his car, he went back inside to apologize to Amaka and Jane. Amaka was in the bathroom taking her bath so she could prepare for work.
“I’m truly sorry babe, he has been going through a lot recently, but that is not an excuse for what he did. I apologize on his behalf, and I promise to make it up to you” he held Jane on her waist as he spoke.
“It’s fine, it’s Amaka I’m pitying actually, because she has to go to work and she barely slept. As for me I can sleep during the day”
Jeffery kneaded his temple. “Please tell her I’m truly sorry, I can speak to her boss to give her the day off if she wants, he happens to owe me a favor”
“Yes Jeffery that will be very much appreciated” Amaka screamed from the bathroom.
“Amaka I thought you were having your bath?” Jane asked.
“I was, until I heard Jeffery talking about me getting the day off”
“Alright Amaka I will talk to him” Jeffery promised as he kissed Jane goodbye and left their apartment.
WHEN LOVE JUST HAPPENS 2 : EPISODE 1 – 10
An hour later, Jeffery called Jane to ask her to tell Amaka he couldn’t reach her boss so she would have to go to work, but promised her a spa treatment over the weekend.
“This your Jeffery sha knows how to treat a woman, not like all those monkey men that don’t have any iota of care in them. Please let him know I will take the spa treatment abeg, I even prefer that one” Amaka said as she hurriedly got dressed and left for work. While Jane decided to rest, since Michael has given her the week off.
WHEN LOVE JUST HAPPENS 2 : EPISODE 1 – 10
After Jeffery had left, Dele decided to take a shower and go visit his sister Anita. They were supposed to visit his parents’ graveside at the cemetery later in the evening. He was going to tell her he won’t be coming with them.
“Look who we have here” Anita said to her baby who was sucking when Dele arrived.
“Good afternoon Nitee” a nickname he always loves to call her whenever he needed a favor.
“Hi Dele Welcome, how are you doing?”
“I’m good, how is William?”
“He is fine, but you don’t look fine at all. What happened? Were you hit by a truck or something?”
“Nothing happened, I just had too much to drink last night” he sat on a couch opposite Anita. ”Anyway I came by to tell you, I won’t be going with you guys to the cemetery for mom and dad’s remembrance”
“I called it off already”
“Why?”
“Jeffery called to tell me you weren’t coming, so I decided to call it off. Probably it was time we stopped the tradition anyway. I mean, we can always go visit their graveside, but it mustn’t be on the day they died”
“You have a point”
“Yeah, it’s like we open the wound afresh every time we go there on the same day they died, because we keep remembering everything that happened that morning before they embarked on that trip”
On that particular morning, Dele wanted to go on a road trip with one of his classmate and his family, but his father had refused. So he decided to go speak with his mom to help him talk to his father.
“Dele, you need to understand that I am with your father on this one. You can’t go on that trip”
“But why mummy? I have always wanted to go on a road trip, this is a good opportunity”
“You can’t go Dele, we don’t even know this family well enough. If it were to be the Ademolas I wouldn’t even bat an eyelid. Besides if you go, your sister will be left all by herself”
“Mummy Nitee will be fine, she will always be going for her holiday lessons so she won’t even feel it. What if I call my friend and ask him to give the phone to his mom so you can speak with her?”
“The answer is no Dele, stay at home and look after your sister. When we are not around that responsibility falls on you”
Dele walked out of his mother’s room angrily, and when they were leaving for the airport, he refused to come out from his room to say goodbye to them. Even while they were at the airport, before their plane took off, his mother called the house and after speaking to his sister, she asked to speak to Dele but he refused answering the call. An action he will forever regret because the next call they got from the airport was to inform them to come and identify their parents’ body.
WHEN LOVE JUST HAPPENS 2 : EPISODE 1 – 10
A week later he heard his friend’s family, were involved in a ghastly motor accident on their way returning from the road trip.
“Dele you need to forgive yourself, you did what a normal child your age would have done”
“I was being stupid, and because of that I missed the only last chance I had to see and speak them” Dele held his head in his hands as he spoke.
Anita called the nanny to come take William who had fallen asleep on her breasts. She got up and sat on the arm of the couch Dele was sitting and placed her arm around him.
“Even if you had said goodbye to them before they left for the airport or taken that call when mummy called, do you think it could have prevented the plane crash?”
Dele shook his head “I don’t think so”
“Then why are you beating yourself up? If you think mummy and daddy were angry with you before they left then I don’t think so, because they said to tell you, that we were going to have our own road trip once they returned and that they loved you”
“Really they did?” Dele raised his head to look at his sister.
“Yes mummy told me that when she called from the airport when you refused talking to her or daddy”
“How come you never told me?”
“Immediately after the call, I came knocking on your door but you refused to open the door. Then, I left for my holiday lessons and when I came back, you were crying that the they were dead. And after that, I didn’t see the need to tell you”
Dele hugged his sister and cried really hard, and for the first time in fifteen years, he felt at peace with himself.

“Hey, how is my baby doing this morning?” Jeffrey’s voice was hoarse from tiredness. It was five in the morning, and he has been awake all night trying to attend to every office work that requires his attention, so he doesn’t have to worry about work during his vacation with Jane.
“Good morning sweet, I’m doing okay, but I’m not sure I can say same for you. Were you able to sleep at all?”
Jeffery used his hand to rub his face as he stared out the window, watching his water fountain glow under the security light. This week has been a hectic one for him, from helping Dele to deal with his parents’ remembrance, to attending to his business which was demanding his attention more and more these days because of the new branch they were planning on opening outside the country. He was really looking forward to the trip, if not for anything but for the fact that he would have the whole time with his woman, and also relax and get away from all the Lagos stress.
“Babe, let’s just say I can’t wait to have you in my arms again”
“That wasn’t the question, you sound really tired and grumpy”
“I’m grumpy because I haven’t seen you for three days straight, when are you coming over? Remember we are leaving for Jamaica tomorrow”
“I will be there later this evening”
“Evening is far babe, what happened to this morning?”
“I will be there in the evening sweet”
Jeffery didn’t want to wait until evening before seeing her, so he had to use something that will make her come running. “I think I will be needing help with my packing”
“What are you talking about? I personally packed your bag and mine on Sunday”
“Ehn…..the thing is, I was actually looking for a particular boxer and I thought you packed it, so I kind of scattered the bag looking for it”
“So did you see it there?” Jane asked. Jeffery could tell Jane was getting angry and preparing for war. “Emm… Not really”
“Jeff! you have so many pairs of boxers, enough to start a boutique for boxers. And yet, you chose to scatter a bag I suffered to pack, just because you were looking for a particular one?”
“I’m sorry”.
“That one is your own, I’m not coming to pack that bag again, you are going to pack it yourself”
“Babeeee… please now, just come over this morning and quickly help me to pack. Please…..”
Jane who couldn’t stay angry at her man for long, decided to get her things and go down to Jeffery’s place.
“When you are coming back better get me something nice” Amaka said to Jane as she was about to leave.
“What would you like me to get you?”
“Anything nice. But it has to be nice o, else I will send you back from the airport”
“Yes madam”
When Jane got to Jeffrey’s house, his housekeeper told her he was at his home gym exercising. So Jane decided to go to his room to help him pack the things he had unpacked. But to her surprise, the bag was looking untouched, it was still in the same position where she had left it.
She was still standing in front of the bag wondering why Jeffery had asked her to come help him pack, when she heard him coming behind her, he hugged her from behind and nuzzled her neck.
“Hmmmmmm, you smell so nice baby” he said as he kept his eyes shut and nuzzled her neck further.
Jane tried pulling out of his grip but he held her still “Jeff….you are sticky and sweaty, go take a shower”
“Care to join me?”
“No I just had my bath before coming”
“Then you bath again, please..” He held unto her like his life depended on it.
“Jeff are you okay? You seem a bit off” Jane turned to frame his face in her hands.
“I’m just exhausted, but I will be fine, once you agree to take a shower with me” he kssed the tip of her nose.
”Jeffery I think we need to talk” Jane looked down as she spoke.
Jeffery used his finger to raise her chin to look at him “what is it you want to talk about?”
”do you mind, if we sit?”
”Sure, come” he led her to sit on the bed, while he stooped down in front of her. ”what is it you want to talk about?”
”Is something wrong with me? like, is something wrong with my body?”
”No, of course not. why would you even ask that?”
”well, you are yet to have sex with me, so I was beginning to think probably you didn’t like my body or something”
”Oh my goodness, you have it all wrong” he stood up and joined her to sit on the bed.
“I enjoy being with you babe, I enjoy your company. Am I sexually attracted to you? Oh hell yes, sometimes I wonder how I have been able to hold this long. But I want you to know I’m not with you just for the sx. Do you why I keep holding back from having sx with you?”
“No, why?”
“It’s because the only image you have about sx is marred, and I want to correct that. I’m trying as much as possible to make you see that sx can actually be enjoyed, I’m trying to make you feel pleasure in places you never thought possible. I want you to want sex because you actually want it, and not because you see it as an obligation to your boyfriend or someone you are in a relationship with. What I have with you is special babe and I am willing to safeguard it with all I own”
“How did I get so lucky to have you in my life?”
“I think the question should be, how did we get so lucky to have each other?” He pulled her in for a hug “I love you baby”
“I love you too, but Jeff..?”
“Yes baby?”
“Please go and take a shower, you stink”
WHEN LOVE JUST HAPPENS 2 : EPISODE 1 – 10
On the morning of their trip, Jane woke up as early as 5am to get ready.
“Babe come back to bed, it’s still quite early, our flight doesn’t leave until 10 o’clock”
“You can go back to sleep but I’m going to have my bath and get prepared, I don’t want us to miss our flight”
“Of course we can’t miss our flight, just come back to bed”
“Jeff, I know you might be influential and all, but that doesn’t mean if you are late to the airport, the flight will be waiting for you”
“Of course it will wait, because I own it”
“What are you talking about?”
“I will tell you, if you come back to bed”
Jane quickly jumped on the bed. “Tell me what you meant?”
“Baby please just sleep, you will find out when you get to the airport”
“No tell me now”
“Okay fine, we are using my family’s private jet”
“What…….?” Jane screamed.
“What happened? Did you hurt yourself?” Jeffery sat up immediately.
“You mean I’m going to be traveling in a private jet? You are joking right?”
“Was that why you screamed? I almost had a heart attack babe” Jeffery placed his hands on his forehead.
“Is that not enough reason to scream? So tell me what it is like to fly in a private jet?”
“You will experience it when you use it, now I’m going back to sleep, stop disturbing me”
“You are mean” Jane grumbled.
“Says the lady who wakes up by 5am to prepare for a 10am trip” Jeffery covered himself with the duvet and slept while Jane who was too giddy with excitement to go back to bed, sat down and kept bombarding Jeffery who kept trying to get some sleep, with questions.
When they arrived the airport, Jane couldn’t contain her excitement, she still couldn’t believe she was flying in a private jet. She made sure to capture every moment.
“Baby my hand is aching from all the pictures I have been snapping you” Jeffery passed her phone to her and he closed his eyes to rest, as the jet took off.
“I think I should have brought a camera with me, that way, I won’t miss any single moment” she said thoughtfully to herself.
“Jeffery Ademola, I believe you didn’t bring me on this trip to start sleeping on the plane, wake up!” Jane shook Jeffrey’s arm.
“When did you become this troublesome?” He opened his eyes to look at her and she leaned over and kissed him. “The day you decided to be my boyfriend, you signed up for this” her sentence made Jeffery smile “and I have never regretted that decision” he kssed her back.
“So you still aren’t going to tell me the name of the hotel we will be lodging?”
“Nope it’s a surprise”
“Why can’t you just tell me?”
“Because if I did, it will no longer be a surprise, now babe I suggest you rest and conserve your strength, because you are definitely going to be needing it on this trip” Jeffery winked at her.
When they arrived the airport in Jamaica, a car was already waiting to take them to their hotel. Jane couldn’t stop herself from smiling and after a while she feared her facial muscles were going to burst from all her smiles.
The driver drove them to a five star hotel in Montego Bay and as they stepped into the reception, and checked in, they were both offered a glass of champagne each by a man who introduced himself as Bosco, their personal butler.
“We have a personal butler?” Jane whispered to Jeffery as they followed Bosco who was taking them to their suite.
“Yes” Jeffery whispered back in her ear as he drew her closer to himself.
Jane thought she had seen it all until they arrived their suite and she discovered it was a presidential suite.
“Oh my God!” Jane exclaimed after the butler had left the room asking them to call him if they needed anything. “Do you know, five of my apartment can actually fit into this room alone? Woah look at the view! This is a sight I can never get tired of waking up to” from their suite, they had an ample view of the ocean and it’s waves.
Jeffery leaned against the glass wall, crossed leg, watching Jane marvel at the room and all it’s features. If only she knew he had more beautiful things and places to show her on this trip.
