LIFE'S CHOICE (2)

HiPlease Click here for first part. Here is the second part of Love Under Water by Femi Job..Enjoy xxx


Before I proceed, I will introduce you to all the characters in this little drama. You have met Funmi, Dupe, Lola, Tayo and Wale. You are yet to personally meet Yomi (Lola’s husband), Akin (Tayo’s ex-fiance), Chigozie (Dupe’s husband) and Chief Ajao. There are other characters, but the aforementioned names are the characters of consequence in this story. I will advice that you pause at this juncture, take a piece of paper (or a notebook) and write these names down so that as the story goes on and gets a little bit more complicated (and it will I assure you) you will have a compass to bring everything into perspective. Now, let us get back to the story….

.

.

Tayo: Wale, Funmi is upset that you haven’t proposed to her. I adviced her to step it up to the next level and move in with you. You know that can’t happen because you have to make out time for me always. You can give her an engagement ring to console her -- I can get you a ring to give her. (see episode 1)

.

Wale: She is getting very desperate oh. I think maybe it is time to dump her….or what do you think?

.

Tayo: NOOOO, you will not dump my friend o, or else I will deal with you…(laughs)

.

Wale: But it is you that I want to be with. (smiles) It is you I want to wake up with, it is you I want to make love to. You know – you are way better than Funmi in bed. She just lies there like a log of wood and makes funny noises, but you…..you are the consummate professional – you know the right moves to make, the right moans and groans to express. You are a container of pleasure. Funmi is like an old cargo….very plain, very boring in bed. I am already tired. You know when I have sex with Funmi I close my eyes and think of you – that is the only way I enjoy it. Funmi is an empty shell.

.

Tayo: (smiles) oooh that is so sweet….I am suddenly horny again. Come here…..

.

Tayo and Wale started making love again. In the middle of it, the phone rang – Tayo’s phone. They continued the lovemaking while Tayo answered the phone.

.

.

Funmi: Tayo

.

Tayo: Fffffffunmmmmiiiii……haaaa…ummmmm…oooooooosh.

.

Funmi: Tayo why are you stammering, did I catch you at a bad time?

.

Tayo: No, you can talk…please talk…I ate some jalapeno pepper and it’s affecting my speech.

.

Funmi: About what you said earlier. I have decided to do what you proposed – I will move in with Wale.

.

Tayo: Good, I am so happy that you made the right chooooooooooiceeeeeeeee…aaaaah.....you should call him and let him know as soon as possible…ok, I got to go now…the jalapeno pepper is very spicy it is burning up my insides.

.

.

The call ended.

.

.

Tayo: Wale, you are so gooood….Funmi will call youuuuuu…aaaah……now, and she will propose to move in. You are to tell her that you’ll think about it OK?

.

The phone rang. It was Wale’s phone.

.

.

Wale: Funmi darling, my sweetie, my lover, my friend, my companion, Ololufe mi, the one who makes my heart beat faster - the one and only lady in the world who can make me happy. …..How are you?

.

Funmi: Wale, sweetie pie, I am fine. I wanted to call you to discuss something, is this a good time?

.

Wale: This is not a good time. I am in the middle of a business meeting. I will call you back in about an hour. LOVE you!

.

Funmi: Love you too.

.

.

Wale hung up the phone just as he, and Tayo, together, reached the top of the mountain’ and they both went into a freefall through realms of pleasure until they crashed back down to earth.

Chigozie and Dupe are laying in bed. Dupe is wearing a sexy lingerie, but Chigozie seems not to notice. Dupe brushes up against him with her legs – still he didn’t notice. Dupe proceeds to use her hands to ‘change his down-there gear to higher gear’ (don’t ask me what this means, I won’t tell!). At her touch, Chigozie responds by moving away.

.

.

Dupe: Chigozie, let’s make love!

.

Chigozie: not tonight my dear, I am tired, I have been working all day at the office.

.

Dupe: This is what you say every night – that you are tired. We have not had sex in over a year now. We are married, what is it that is the problem?

.

Chigozie: Go to sleep Dupe, there is more to marriage than just sex.

.

Dupe: I am not sexually fulfilled. I am not satisfied with your ‘work’ in the bedroom. The last time we did it (and this is eternity ago), I wasn’t satisfied. In fact, I don’t remember being ever really satisfied with you. YOU NEED TO STEP UP.

.

Chigozie: (raising his voice)… I NEED TO STEP UP OR WHAT!!!! WHAT are you going to do?

.

Dupe was about to say something, but she thought about it and chose not to say it. Chigozie was looking at her. He shook his head slowly.

.

.

Chigozie: Maybe if you were not as fat as an elephant I would enjoy making love to you too…OH yes, I said it – you just complained that you are not satisfied in bed, well, guess what – I am not satisfied too. If not of the fact that I was married to you, I won’t even sleep in the same bed with you. You married and then you ‘let yourself go’ and now you are so fat it is disgusting. If I had known that this is how you will look after 2 years of marriage, I would not have allowed you to force me to marry you – YES, we both know that you ‘forced’ me to propose to you (and marry you) with an ultimatum. Sometimes I really wish you hadn’t done that. What ‘desperate’ ladies like you do not understand is that you should allow a man to reach a decision on his own, do not cajole, coerce or compel him to marry you. Things were better between us before we married. Sometimes I wish I could go back to those days. (pauses) In fact, I am going to sleep in the parlor tonight.

.

.

Chigozie took his pillows and blankets and almost ran out of the room. Dupe wanted to tell him to wait but she was too shocked and angry to say anything. He had said very hurtful things and she wanted to hate him so much. She was living a lie, pretending to everyone that they were happily married. When he left, she started crying deep inside. The tears bubbled up from her heart and perfused her whole being, escaping out of her eyes because there was nowhere else for the tears to go. The tears fell like sudden rain, overwhelming her mind and taking all her emotions captive.

.

.

Tayo performed the pregnancy test - twice. Both came out positive. This means she was pregnant, but for who? She ran a list of all the men that she was intimate with trying to hone in on the person most likely to be the 'owner' of the pregnancy. Well, maybe Wale, maybe someone else. She went to the bar area (next to her kitchen) and fixed herself a very hard drink. One was not supposed to drink while pregnant, but who cares, she thought - she wasn't going to keep it anyway. Her phone rang - it was Lola.

.

Tayo: Omolola, how are you?

.

Lola: Hey Tayo, how are you?

.

Tayo: Fine....so, what's up?

.

Lola: Is Wale there with you?

.

Tayo (pauses): Nooooo, and why are you asking about him?

.

Lola: Nothing, I just need to speak with him. Do you have his phone number - I have the old one but I think he changed his number.

.

Tayo: I have his new number, but you know my policy - I don't give numbers out. So, what do you want to speak with him about....about what?

.

Lola: Don't worry about that....well....

.

Tayo: If you really need to speak with him, you should call Funmi. I think he's at her place at the moment.

.

Lola: No worries!

.

Tayo: What you want to say to him must not be very important or else I just told you who to call to reach him and you are hesitating? Or you don't want Funmi to know what you want to speak with Wale about? If you must reach him in a hurry, you can ask Akin for his number.

.

.

Wale and Funmi were still locked in a very tight embrace. They had just finished making love. They were at Wale's place. Wale smiled and spoke in very low tones, telling Funmi how beautiful the sex was. But she knew that it wasn't very beautiful today, for one - he was very quick. Funmi knew that Wale was the best lover in the whole world. In fact, when they started dating, it didn't take very long for them to start having sex. And when they started having sex, Funmi's life changed forever -- it was like she was born-again. She could not believe the unbelievable pleasure she felt when she 'came' - oh, and it was with Wale that she first began to enjoy sex. Before Wale, she thought sex was just something people did and pretended to really like. But Wale forced a re-definition of what sex really was - paradise unbridled, an unfolding of inner and outer bliss. This was one, amongst many other reasons, that she was not willing to leave him. Wale was her crown, and she knew that no other man could make her feel the way he did - in bed.

.

Wale: What did you want to talk to me about earlier?

.

Funmi: I wanted to know when you planned to propose to me.

.

Wale: That will be soon....don't worry I will propose to you.

.

Funmi: Wale, it's been 5 long years, don't you think that it's too long?

.

Wale: They say 7 is the perfect number....just kidding...yes, it's a long time but we love each other and that is what counts.

.

Funmi; But if you love me, you would have married me by now, wouldn't you have?

.

Wale: Love and marriage are two different things...but yes, you have a point....like I said before, don't worry, I will marry you.

.

Funmi: WHEN!

.

Wale: Soon!

.

Funmi: Soon when!

.

Wale: Please can we change this topic?

.

Funmi: Why do you always want to change the topic when we are discussing OUR future. Anyway, I just wanted you to know that I have not seen my period and I may be pregnant. So, the 'soon' has to be VERY SOON.

.

Lola and Yomi were at the hospital. They were sitting in front of the doctor – doctor Akin (Tayo’s ex-fiance). Their daughter Abeke was sick. She was just 2 years+ old.

.

.

Doctor Akin: We need to do a blood transfusion for your daughter very quickly. We determined that your daughter is SC and she is having major anemia complications. She needs a transfusion. Her blood group is O-. She can get blood ONLY from someone who is O-. We need O- blood. We will check your blood to see if there is anyone who matches. Otherwise we will go to the blood bank.

.

Yomi: (raising his voice) Did you say SC? That cannot be. Myself and my wife are AA. We can only have a child that is AA. Plus myself and my wife are both O+, how can we have O- child. Doctor, there must be a mistake somewhere.

.

Doctor Akin: Oh, two O+ parents can have O- offspring. But regarding the genotype, I can tell the lab to check again. But you know it is possible that you are both not AA but you only think so. I will ask them to take blood samples from the both of you and check again.

.

Lola: Yomi don’t get worked up dear. It will be OK.

.

Doctor Akin took them to the lab (on the second floor of the hospital). As he was leaving, his eyes discreetly met with Lola’s (Yomi is unaware of this)….she winked and so did he.
