Friday couldn't come fast enough for Deji. Time seemed to drag agonizingly slow as he counted the seconds, minutes, and hours as the days went by. It was a painful and very nervous one week.
Finally, to his relief, it was Thursday evening. He picked up his phone and dialed her.
"Hey you."
"Hi babe. Are you ready for your trip tomorrow?"
"Why are you so anxious?"
"Why won't I be?"
"Relax, young man." She said cheerfully.
"Deola, that's me you're calling a young man, y'know?"
"So?"
"Okay. No vex. I'm just anxious to see you again."
"Okay oh, Mr. Lover man. I will try leave here as early as possible. Are you ready to receive a very important visitor?"
"I'm ready for you." Throughout the day, he had taken his time to clean up his room. He spent hours meticulously dusting, sweeping, wiping and airing out everywhere. He scrubbed and disinfected his bathroom until the tiles gleamed white. He dusted his mattress and laid out a clean bed sheet. He made sure everything was well arranged and in the right places. He planned to go to the market the following morning to buy stuff for food too.
"Yes, I'm ready to receive anyone."
"Really? Hmm..."
"Do you want me to send you some money to add to your transport fare?"
"Are you saying I can't afford to come there on my own?" she sounded offended.
"No oh Deola. It's not like that. I just thought..."
"Thought what?"
"...Okay I'm sorry."
"I can afford to pay my own fare. You don't need to insinuate you are forcing me to come."
"I'm sorry. It's the anxiety in me."
"I'm also anxious to see you too, but I can afford to pay my TP."
"I'm sorry."
"Better."
"I'll try and see if I can leave in time. Ilorin to Ibadan is about three to four hours. I have a few things to take care of in the morning. I'll be there latest by six in the evening."
"Sure."
"Can't wait to see you again."
"Me too."
"G'nite. Dream of me okay?"
"I surely will."
===========================================================================
Friday morning. Deji woke up early. He did a last minute one-over on his room, making sure everything was in order once again before going out to the market. He bought some ingredients to prepare stew and vegetable soup. Having been cooking since he was nine, he had no problem in the kitchen. Soon a couple of his neighbors were knocking on his door.
"Man yi, o fe di wa ni imu ni(do you want to block our noses?)" he heard Kola, one of the guy opposite his room yell through his open door.
"A nbo wa jeun oh(we're coming over to have some of that delicious meal)." Dele, his roommate chirped in.
"Eyin guys, no show oh. I dey expect very important visitor." Deji fired back. He stepped out of his small kitchen to meet them both standing in the middle of his room.
"Shey l'oto(really)? Who she be?"
"Who told you it's a she?"
"So you think a man will spend all his morning cooking for another man? You no serious. Abeg lay down the koko jare." said Kola.
Deji laughed. "Na my babe. She's coming for the weekend."
"Hmm!! After you feed her full belle, you will "feed" her "FULL BELLE" abi?" Dele stated, implying a big belly with his hands. "Ekun!!"
"Eyin boys yii sha."
"We must meet this babe oh." Dele said.
"I will try."
"Try kini? I'll be watching your door throughout today. Shey o ti lo opa eyin e? Ma fa idi omo olomo ya oh(don't fuck the girl to death)."
Laughing loudly, Deji dished out some of his vegetable soup for his friends before shooing the two nosy guys out of his room.
"See, the guy even arranged his room. Ojo wo lo tun yara shey ko wa tidy bayi last (When last did you take care of your room)? The power of abuna."
============================================================================
Around two o'clock that afternoon Deola sent him a text to let him know she was on her way. To while away the time, Deji decided to watch a movie, but he realized he kept on glancing at his watch every five minutes. He watched as the clock hands dragged slowly till it was almost six in the evening. He didn't want to call her as he didn't want to sound desperate. He just waited for her to call.
Around six-forty, Deola called to tell him she had arrived Ojoo.
"I know my way to campus. Where will you come get me?"
"There's an eatery opposite the school gate. I'm heading there now. I will be waiting for you there."
"Okay. See you soon."
Fifteen minutes later, Deji was standing in front of the eatery. His heart was beating. Finally, the moment had come. The moment he had been waiting for. Would he still recognize her? How would he act when he saw her? He put his hands in his pocket to steady his trembling fingers.
Deola paid the bus conductor and got down. She looked around and spotted the eatery. Looking closer, she saw a lanky guy standing in front of the eatery looking around. She picked her phone from her bag and dialed Deji's number. She saw the guy dip his hand into his pocket and fish out his phone, turning around in the process. One look at his face and she knew it was him. Carefully watching the traffic, she crossed the street to meet him.
Deji didn't realize she had arrived until she was almost standing in front of him. After such a long time, they were finally face to face again.
"Deola." Deji gasped, the words failing him.
Deola smiled. "Yes, Deji...it's me."
They both hugged each other. Deji looked her over.
"What happened to you?"
"What do you mean?"
"You look...slimmer. Curvier."
Deola laughed. "Nothing. I've always been like this."
She had on a red tank top which her breasts bulged against invitingly. Her slim waist flowed into her round hips on which sat a pair of dark blue jeans. He caught a glimpse of her midriff as she stood back. A pair of low heel sandals decked her feet, her beautiful toes with the bright red toe-polish peeking out gracefully. Her long braids cascaded down to the middle of her back, a small red scarf tied just above it. A light touch of red lipstick coated her luscious lips. A silver chain adorned her slim neck, the receding and fading rays of the evening sun catching its brilliant shine. A matching pair of earrings completed the picture. She looked adorable.
"You look much more beautiful than the last time I saw you."
"Why thank you." she replied smiling. Already many heads were turning, their hungry eyes staring at her.
Deji picked up her bag and led her to his place. They walked the ten minutes it took to get there, chatting all the way, his eyes not leaving her for one minute. Her body moved only the way angels do, her hips swaying magnificently. He studied her shapely round arse, watched as her breasts bounced as she walked, her beautiful gait as she moved. He felt his throat go dry with desire. Soon, they arrived his place.
"Welcome to my humble abode. It's not much, but it's home." He ushered her in. Deola removed her shoes and looked around the room. A medium sized mattress with two fluffy pillows lay neatly in one corner. The dark blue carpet looked nice. A small table with some books neatly stacked sat at the window. A TV and DVD player stood on another low table at the foot of the mattress. She observed two doors which perhaps led to the bathroom and kitchen. Deola felt comfortable immediately. She turned around to face Deji who had picked up her shoes and was placing them on the shoe rack beside the door. He stood back up and looked at her beaming at him.
"Welcome to my house dear. Do you want anything to..."
He didn't finish his statement because before he realized what was happening, she had closed the distance between them and planted her lips on his. They kissed eagerly and hungrily, her arms flying around his neck, his pulling her closer as he squashed her lovely lithe body into his. They fumbled and groped at each other, their desires for each other strong. Still kissing deeply, they stumbled towards and fell on the bed, her body on top of his. They continued to kiss each other for a while before they came back up for air.
"Hi." Deola greeted him.
"Hi?" Deji said back breathless.
"It's been quite a long while. I really needed to get that out of my system." She said with a smile.
"Missed me?" she asked, staring into his eyes.
Deji stared back into her huge eyes. For the first time he noticed she wore contacts. "Yeah. I surely did miss you."
"It's been more than seven months. I never for once forgot about you." She said, batting her eyelashes at him.
Deji stared down her deep cleavage, her jugs squashed against his chest. He looked back into her eyes and caught her looking at him mischievously. He pulled her head towards him and kissed her again.
She rested her head against his shoulder, her hand slowly rubbing his chest. She pinched his nipple lightly, and to her delight felt his cock begin to slowly grow under her. She laughed and sat up. Deji sat beside her.
"Are you hungry?" he asked her.
"Not really. I'm only hungry for you right now." She responded slyly.
"Okay. Do you want something to drink then?"
