(PROSE) ONE NIGHT SUCKS

By Olabode Emmanuel Olawumi


I have watched it being done quite a number of times in the phantasmagoric world of movies, but not in reality. Let me sketch the picture for you. Jack is at the bar in the club, having a shot of whisky, mad at everyone, wondering if he is really destined to have anything good in this world because his girlfriend has just broken up with him. Along comes Jill, seductively swinging her hips, coy grin playing at the corners of her mouth, mammary glands bouncing and straining to escape the already very limited boundaries of her blouse because she is not wearing a brassiere,nipples poking out like little lances from the front of the aforementioned blouse.  She takes a seat right next to. Jack, orders for whisky, and casually nods a greeting at Jack who is by then,uncontrollably ogling Jill out of her skin. After regaining his composure and quickly having an epigrammatic conversation, Jack has scored a pass mark. Jillis impressed and she decides he is worthy enough of the pleasures of her bed.Before Long, they are passionately executing the wanton desires of their hearts. Hardly Did I know that I was going to be the next victim of it. No, not victim; hardly did I know I was going to be the next chosen one for the unspeakable pleasures that accompany a well-delivered fellatio. In other words, I am Jack – JackFellatio. What a wonderful word!

It was a Friday night. Everyone was looking for someone to be with, or somewhere to hangout. There was only one purpose –to make the weekend count. Well, I wasn’t an exemption; I was also on the prowl, looking for how to make the weekend surreal; and indeed, it did become surreal. While the lucky few that already had partners spent time with those partners in their respective halls of residence, some even luckier few could be spotted hanging out at different dark spots, legendary spots of erotic pleasure– under the tree, in an empty classroom, or any secluded dark area – that best suited they whose sexual wills had at that point, reached its zenith.
I was heartbroken. What I feared most finally befell me. My girlfriend of three months had just broken up with me.Her excuse, she wanted to face her academics, plus her dad does not want her to have a boyfriend for now. After a one year relationship in an earthly hell with a girl I showered with limitless love, attention, and gifts in return for nolove, I had promised myself never to fall in love…never again.

Let me take you on a journey down memory lane. It so happened one fateful day that I was in a lecture when a fair and comely damsel caught my attention. Immediately, I shoved off the natural thoughts the sight of her were beginning to simulate in my mind, unaware that my doom was near. There was a sword of Damocles hanging just above my head. Few weeks later, I found out that we were in the same group for a drama performance.Though we avoided speaking to each other during our first rehearsals, we stole glances at each other.

It again so happened one rehearsal that our director selected she and I to be romantic partners in the play we were preparing to perform. For a while, we were strictly professional; our conversations did not exceed the stage. It didn't take too long before we continued our stage characterisations outside the rehearsal. We started seeing each other more often. Both of us were getting emotionally attached. I tried fighting it from my end but couldn’t. She had this aura around her. Her smile,compassion, care and tender love somehow glued my heart to hers. Little did weknow we had uncannily embarked on a very delicate adventure.

We spent time together at night counting the stars. We had fun teasing each other. We shared kisses, hugs and even muchmore – do the math.  But like every story with a bad ending, the good days ceased to exist.
I was lost in my silent reminisce when my phone rang. I answered and heard Saje’s voice at the other end. Saje, my best pal since my secondary school days sounded very happy that night.  He had called to inform me that our secondary school classmate, Bisi was around, and that she was eager to see me. They were waiting for me in front of the great Obafemi Awolowo University Amphitheatre Where a comedy show had just commenced.

As I walked towards the crowd trying to find my way into the venue of the comedy show in search of my friends, someone ran towards me and flung herself into my arms. Inhaling the scent of her perfume, I fell into a swoon.
‘Where the hell have you been dear? I have missed you so much’ she said, as she pecked me passionately on my right cheeks.Dumbfounded, all that ran through my mind was ‘Tonight’s gonna be a good night afterall.’
‘I have missed you too’ I said, trying with some success to regain my composure. To save myself from further personal embarrassment, I quickly acknowledged the presence of Saje and another friend of ours, Afo.
Luck smiled on me when Afo mysteriously excused himself to go watch the show while Saje smilingly winked at me before excusing himself to see his girl. I was left alone with her.

I was still debating in my mind on how to get both of us busy when she requested that I show her round campus. ‘Oh I forgot. Mind my manners. Why won’t I show our visitor from University of Lagos(UNILAG) what Africa’s most beautiful campus boasts of?’ I said, glowing with pride. She gave me that ‘Lips sealed’expression, and muttered something under her breath. We went on the tour, and I was the tour guide.

Meanwhile, I had been doing some calculations in my brain. ‘I could make this night count if things go on well’,I thought. I remembered the last time I saw Bisi. It was at my 18th birthday party, few days after our final papers in secondary school. My friends had organised a small birthday party for me. We had plenty meat, plenty food,plenty wine (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) and of course, plenty girls. Bisi was one of the girls present. She had told Saje and me that she would be leaving for South-Africa the next day for a brief holiday with her aunt. We all had enough fun that night. Bisi gave me my best birthday gift that night. She was the best dance partner I had ever met. We rocked each other like there was no tomorrow. She twisted, wined her waist and shook her bums for me. She made the man in me alive that night. I felt every part of her body – her curves, hertits, her…..everything. Since then, I had always looked forward to having another good experience with her.
‘Let’s take a walk to Ajose‘ I told her.‘Where is Ajose?’ She asked. ‘It’s a lecture theatre at the Department of Agriculture. People hardly go there though, because it’s very far from other lecture theatres...’ I replied. ‘…And that’s why I want us to go there to give you a memorable experience. But trust me, you are safe’. I added figuratively.She just hit me on my butts and said ‘Let’s go. I love adventures.’ 

Trust me; everything I did was a means to an end and a re-experience for me. My former girl friend and I used to read at Ajose and after studying our books for some minutes, we studied each other’anatomies. You don’t need that now, it’s history. 

I had done a few successful tests on Bisi’psychology that night. She too had just broken up (briefly) with her boyfriend and

was emotionally unstable like myself. We were both feeling lonely and bored. She and I wanted to make the night count. The only thing we didn't know was if it was right or how to go about it. We had been flirting with each other all night – saying dirty things and arousing each other’s sexual desires. It was definitely the chosen night.

As soon as we got to Ajose, I took her to another lecture theatre close to it – a very secluded area too. It was abasement that had a table already prepared to serve the night’s purpose. Without warning, I planted a kiss on her mouth which she did not hesitate to reply to.The kiss went on for as long as 5 minutes. I thought I was in control until she drew me close, her tongue taking a tour in my ears. I felt something coming up in me. Her other hand untied my belt. Then her fingers took a grip on my JohnT, stroking it softly as I continued to feel other parts of her body.  Then she went low, her head between my thighs, and few seconds later, her tongue licked my penis. I was on top of theworld. My first blow job ever! I had only seen it in American movies, never had a live experience before…….

Knock! Knock!! Knock!!! My room’s door flung open. Pastor Dare, my colleague in Church dragged me back to reality. ‘We have Pastor’s prayer meeting now sir. You number has been unreachable’.
“Man, this sucks!” I quietly lamented.

(POEM) DO YOU LOVE ME?

By Olabode Emmanuel Olawumi


It feels like it was yesterday we firstmet;
Everyone was seated in the hall when youbrushed in,
Leaving a trail of charm and grace in yourlustrous wake
Silence prevailed as all eyes fell on you
The lecturer himself couldn’t help butstare

Somebody please call 911
The room just caught fire
What planet is this hot girl from?
‘Cos her presence is so overwhelming

Exquisite, cute, petite, elegant
Adorable, royal, attractive,
Portable, alluring, enchanting...
These and many other words best describeyou

Then it happened…
Unfortunately for you, you missed a step,
Slipped and almost fell
Fortunately for me, I was the only manavailable to rescue you

My left hand quickly held one of your hands
With my right hand, I held you by the waist
Knowing how fragile a woman is
I ensured I handled you with care

As I bent to lift you up
Our eyes met
We stood still for a minute
Nonplussed, and unsure of what to say next

To me, I just met the woman of my dreams
To you, a stranger just saved your life
Breaking the silence, you said a heart-feltthank you
All I could mutter was ‘You are welcome’

Several days passed without our pathscrossing
My heart couldn’t refrain from thinking ofyou
Day and night, I walked round town alone
Hoping to find you

That fateful night
Thunder and lightning in the cloud
The rain pouring heavily
I was on the road again…alone

I had lost it
Life meant nothing to me no more
I just wanted to end it all
Since I might not find you anymore

Unknowingly, I was in the middle of theroad
Lost in my own very thoughts
The last thing I heard were horns, screams,cries
The damage had been done

As I came back to life
I spotted drips, plasters, and blue clotheseverywhere
Wondering where I was
A nurse came closer to check my pulse

There and then I remembered what happened
I had been hit by a moving trailer
OMG! How did I survive it?
BTW, why am I still breathing?

As if I was in a trance
I heard that voice from a distance
Sounds familiar, my ears told me
‘Hi’, the person said
Moving closer I guess

Once those hands touched mine
Later stroking my face
I knew exactly who it was
But before I could sit up to look into hereyes
She sowed a kiss deep into my mouth
And asked me a very vital question
‘Do you love me?’  She said.

(POEM) COULD THIS BE LUST?

By Olabode Emmanuel Olawumi

I start the race in my mind;
A race with no beginning and no end,
A race of the most sensuous proportions,
A race between the heart and the body
I ask myself;
What is it I am running from?
Lo and behold it is not far-fetched.

There she comes,
Making my heart pound
I said it will never happen again
Alas! Here it comes all over again.

The smile on her face
Makes my heart glow
Her dimples – the kind that robs one of sight

Then she comes close,
Her body tucks into mine,
My hand clasps the small of her back,
Hers claps mine.
Behold, damnation is at hand!




I feel it;
My forehead gently grazing hers,
Her nose passionately gluing to mine,
My lips, yes, my lips; hungrily salvaging hers

I feel her breast heavily on my chest,
My ever alert manhood rears his well-shaped head,
My hands don’t need Google maps,
They can find their way around her curves.
The destination lies beneath her undergarments.

Mon Dieu, how she moans!
She whispers the green light into my ears,
I take the journey further,
Her blouse drops on the floor.

Who'll show my fingers the way?
'Cos they’re lost in her pubic palace;
Perhaps, my hands do need that map,
Yet, she continues to ask for more
Even as she dominates right under my pants

How many more miles can I go?
What'll fuel this desire into burning passion?
We promised to take it slow, didn’t we?
But, my dearest, it seems we just slowly climbed higher....
Higher into realms of boundless pleasure,
Realms of our wildest dreams,
Realms in our own world of forms;
Ma Cherie, do I really love you?
Or could this be lust?

MY PAIN (2)

It was a knock on my door that brought me back to life. Holy shit!

So, I've been dreaming. I checked my wrist-watch and it was just a
few minutes after seven p.m. As i rose up to check who was at my door,
i found my best friend and my girl. They told me they had come to
pick me up for a party scheduled for that night where we'll meet the
girl my best friend had an eye for. Whoa! What a coincidence.

As we walked down to the event venue, thoughts of my recent dream raced
through my mind. Questions fueled in my heart. "Can this really happen?"
I asked myself. I didn't search through my mind for so long before i found
my answer: "my best friend can't do that and my girl friend loves me so
much that she won't do that - GOD HELP HER, including me".I came to conclusion
that it is a dream that can never come true! Yet, i thought of how disappointed
we all feel when we are cheated on by our spouse or loved ones. It's really
heart-breaking you know? It really hurts because we feel that person has given
out a part of us that is meant to be just for the two of us.


Come to think of it, we all are boyfriends and girlfriends respectively to
God. How come do we find it so easy to cheat on him without feeling sorry or
caring about how he feels? We've got a part of us he treasures so much. It's
our body but he prefers to call it his temple. Some of us have so much defiled
it that it worth less than a dime through fornication and adultery. Ask yourself
this question: "How will i feel if i catch my spouse or partner with someone
else on my matrimonial bed" or "How will i feel if i find out that my boyfriend
or girlfriend sleeps around with other people" The way you feel in both cases is
how God feels when we fornicate or commit adultery. He is not happy with it.
He wants us to stop it. This is not my pain but GOD'S PAIN. FLEE FORNICATION
AND ADULTERY!

MY PAIN 1

The week had been very busy and hectic for me. Lectures followed lectures; rehearsals accompanied rehearsals; meetings upon meetings and above all shows after shows. It’s not quite easy when you try to combine other things with your academics. It becomes so challenging that you don’t want to lose on either side. Anyway, the week finally found its weekend and it is Friday. No more lectures till Monday. As I walked down from the lecture theater, thoughts of how to make the weekend memorable and splendid paced through my mind. “Got it!” I screamed, not caring how embarrassing it sounds. “I’m gonna go clubbing with my girl. It’s going to be fun” I concluded.

Without much hesitation I dialed my pretty angel’s number on my cell phone. Don’t be jealous that I called her my angel. She’s so beautiful that she’s got beauty jealous. We met two months back at a hospital where I went to visit a sick friend. We got attracted to each other but I didn’t give her enough space to think before I asked her out. Thank goodness, she said yes. Ever since then, we’ve been dating. We are so happy with each other that my friends and hers envy our relationship. My heart beat missed a step as I displayed a flashback of good moments we’ve shared together since we met. What the fuck! Network problem again. “Why does network like disappointing one at good times like this? Saying that my girl’s number is not reachable at this festive mood is totally unacceptable” I said to myself. With much haste I found my way to my priceless jewel’s room.

In no time, I found myself in front of her door sweating profusely. I tried to rub off the sweat dripping down my cheek and catch some breath. All I was trying to do was to look calm and cool when I eventually enter her room. Satisfied that I was good to go show myself to the Queen, I opened the door. And guess what I saw? My eyes couldn’t believe it! My girl friend in pants and bra lying under the masculine zeal and pressure of my best friend…

To whom it may concern, if I die


If I die, who killed my dream? Is it:
My country that didn’t put me in the best positions?
My government that refused to make life comfortable for the common man by denying the masses and its electorate the basic social amenities of life?
The capitalist who is bent on making an astronomical profit at the expense of his employees?
The Pastor who preaches only on how I will make Heaven but refuses to enlighten me on how to survive on earth, who calls for massive crusades but turns his back against the positive revolution on the street?
The Imam who tells me all about the Holy War but refuses to caution my brothers who kill others unjustly?
My religious leaders who stand at the pulpit highlighting the evils in our government but still receive brown envelopes from government officials?
The critics who enumerate the nation’s numerous problems but fail to proffer solutions?
The politician who makes empty promises and amasses personal wealth, thus crippling the natio’s economy?
The educationists who blame the decay in the education system on the government but fail to pass useful information to me in the classroom?
The Labour leaders who are never friends with the government in public but
betray us before those in power in private?
The security agents who promise to be my friend but parley with my foes to rob me?
The electoral commissioner who announces falsified results after receiving stipends from unscrupulous politicians?
The godfather who leaves office but still remains in power?
The legislature who ignores the executive’s unreasonable actions but raises
false alarm only when the latter refuses to dance to his tunes?
Ceasar’s wife who is not fit to pass an English Language common entrance
examination but gets appointments she’s unworthy of because she must be above suspicion?
The airline company that rakes millions but refuses to observe safety measures that will protect her passengers?
The coach who is more interested in what I have in my wallet or under my pants than the talents and skills
I possess to win gold medals for my country at the Olympics?
The bank executive who mismanages customers’ life savings?
The NEPA official who refuses to provide power supply but knocks on my door at month end?
The lecturer who teaches me in class but promises me that I’m bound to fail his course ­ no matter how hard I read?
The Vice-Chancellor who increases Freshmen’s acceptance fees from N2,000 to N20,000 and shuts down the school for over 3 months because students protested?
The Finance Minister who cannot find a lasting solution to the country’s bankruptcy?
The Oil Minister who has been alleged to have traded the nation’s crude oil at the black market?
The compromised journalist?
The incompetent artisan?
The mediocre artiste?
The careless, reckless and unlawful taxi driver?
The manufacturing company that provides low-quality goods at high prices?
The pharmacist who sells fake drugs?
Family and friends who think my course is not a noble one?
Parents who impose careers on their kids?
Me, myself and I who ain’t man enough to stand up to life’s challenges?
The question is; If I die, who killed my dream?
