Adventure With the Slay Queens Final Episode
Episode 25
(finale)
No one can go back and make a brand new start, but
anyone can start from here and make a brand new end.
A child can’t play for a 20 years, at some point, I got tired
and began feeling lonely. I need someone more than just
a companion, someone I could call my life partner, but
insted I found bitches, whores, fuckers and d--k suckers.
Non of them seems to worth the space. But there’s
always a woman for every man, Mine just take long to
locate me.
In my working place, I used to be silent and laconic, but
I’m as dangerous as a snake when it got to bleeping
ladies. My first day at work, I bleeped one of the
coworkers.
Aduni was her name, she happens to be the first person I
met when I resumed for work. She was quite a beauty,
just that her butt and boobs were quite small. After the
normal introduction, She showed me my office then gave
me a dirty eye wink. I regarded it as nothing as I set to
work.
After the day work, I was outside the company trying to
catch a bus, cos I was yet to get my own car then. A
Toyota car parked in front of me and the mirror was being
lowed down. I bend my head low and I saw Aduni inside.
” where are you going? Come inside let me drop you ”
she said. I jumped in without hesitating, cos I was already
tired of waiting.
On the way we chit chatted and I found her company
quite nasty and maybe intense.
” won’t you like to know my place ” she said, at first I
wanted to say no, but since I have nothing important to
do at home, I agreed and follow her.
On getting to her place, she offered me a red wine and a
light snacks. I helped myself with the wine, eating a flour
snacks wasn’t my way. I was enjoying myself with the
wine While Aduni went in to change her office cloth. She
came back outside clad in a bum short and a tight
singlet, which was quite transparent. She wasn’t wearing a
bra, and her b----t were quite visible.
She sat close to me resting her b----t on my right
shoulder, I felt a little hardness down there on my d--k
and without even thinking, I turned my head and kiss her.
She didn’t reply the kiss and I guessed I hit it wrong. I
was about apologizing when she mount on me and
Remove her singlet here by exposing her small standing
b----t to me.
” I can’t remember the last time I have sex, but can you
f--k me hard ” she said. I looked at her surprised, I knew
no words are necessary .
I attacked her b----t with an unexpected action which let
her made loose of a moan. Even though her b----t ain’t
big, they seems to be her weaken point.
Without wasting time, I removed her bum short and trow
it away to somewhere I still can’t remember. I spread her
leg wide as I penetrated into the hole slowly, it seems
tight at first, so I went in slowly then I was able to have
my d--k fully into her p---y after a while.
Not f-----g her hard will be usual of me, so I gave her the
best f--k of her life. She wasn’t able to stand after I ended
up the first round of the sex, when I went in for second
round, she was begging me to stop, when her pleading
was too much, I stopped.
I continued living my life the way it comes, every steps I
took was always a step towards an adventurous event,
and mostly I end up f-----g whoever that comes my way.
I went home to visit my parents and also to say hi to my
only sister Anike, I was enjoying my chat with Anike when
my parent came up with their regular talk.
” Ayo, when will you get married? When will you settle
down, you are not getting any younger ” they will say. It
has even became a regular phase that I will even help
them to complete the sentence.
“mom, dad, I’m trying my best, I will come home with a
woman one day ” I will said just for them to let go of me.
I excused myself to meet Anike in her room, cos she has
been keeping alot of gist for me and she can’t wait to
explode.
“so funny, so you mean mama wore a sexy gown just to
impress papa ?” I said while listening to Anike gist.
“so tell me, do you have a boyfriend? ” I asked after she
was done gisting me.
” Yea, I have one, but I know we are both deceiving
ourselves, not until he give me an assurance ” she said,
then I gave her a playful punch.
” brother, I’ve been wanting to tell you this but I don’t
know if you will like it or not ” she said.
“fire away, I won’t flog you ” I said with a chuckling.
” there is this my class teacher, she’s tall and beautiful,
as in very beautiful most of the time I do admire her
beauty, and all those packages are… You know very
awesome. She didn’t like men, so I was thinking if you
can… You know have a date with her… You know maybe
you two can figure something out… You know maybe you
two end up together as a couple… You know maybe… ”
” I got it, didn’t you say she hate men? ” I cut in.
” Yea, and that’s why she’s still single ” she replied.
“that’s it!! I’m a man. She will probably hate me too ” I
retorted.
” no, that’s not it. Don’t tell me you can’t win a lady over?
Say yes and I’m off to telling mom and dad ” she said
with her eye wide open as a she goat.
” Yes.. I mean… No. I can win a lady heart ” I said with a
stammering voice.
“good, now I’m challenging you with this one ” she said
rolling her eyes dextrorotatory.
” OK fine, tell me what I need to know ” I said, waving her
away with my head.
” her name is Ayomide, don’t say anything, she’s your
namesake, like I said earlier on, she’s my teacher, we are
close and I’ve made the job easy for you cos I’ve been
telling her about you, and believe me she would love to
meet you, I have her number here with me, you can give
her a call to confirm everything ” she said.
“wait… In a nutshell… You want me to go on a blind date
with this lady? ”
“Exactly!!! “she cut in.
“holy s--t!!! ” I exclaimed.
” I’m calling her right away ” she said then she ran a call
to her using my phone.
She picked on the second ring then Anike quickly pass the
phone to me.
Me : Hello, am I on to Miss Ayomide?
Ayomide : yes, may I know you?
Me : sure my name is Ayo and I got your number from my
sister
Ayomide : who’s your sister please?
Me: her name is Anike, she said you are her teacher
Ayomide : Yea I know her.
Me : you have a sweet voice
Ayomide : yours ain’t bad
Me : oh, I was expecting a thank you, I guess I will be the
one saying that now.
Ayomide : maybe
Me :ok… My sister told me alot about you and I was
thinking maybe, we can meet in person.
Ayomide : I’m the busy type and besides I don’t really like
meeting guys.
Me : Yea, she told me that, but she also told me that you
won’t refuse the meeting.
Ayomide : I never said that to her
Me : are you saying my sister is lying?
Ayomide : no, she don’t lie, perhaps you are the one lying.
Me : Wao, you are intelligent, so how do we meet.
Ayomide: I will have to think about it.
Me : what about tomorrow evening at the British
restaurant, 8pm
Ayomide : you are funny, you are concluding already
Me : cos I trust my sister and you won’t to let her down.
Ayomide : OK… No problem then.
Me: see ya
Ayomide : bye
I ended the call then turn to face Anike, which was
impatiently waiting for response from me.
” I guessed she is as beautiful as you say ?” I said.
” hell yeah, so? ” she asked with curiosity.
” we are meeting tomorrow evening” I replied. I watched
as she jumped up and dance to her imaginary song and
beat.
” give me the venue and time, I must not miss the show ”
she said.
“maybe you should ask my phone ” I said as I speed out
of her room.

The following day, I was driving to work in the morning
when I saw a lady, trying to change her flat tyre, I had no
intention of stopping, but I found her too beautiful to be
doing a man job. So I parked my car beside the road and
offered her a helping hand.I didn’t look much at her face,
I just went ahead to changing the tyre. I was almost done
fixing the tyre when I heard her calling my name,
Immediately, I turned to face her directly, on recognizing
who she is, I dropped the spanner I’m holding.
” Amaka!!! ” I shouted as soon as I recognize her. I moved
closer to her then gave her a hug.
” Wao you look so beautiful, what are you doing here?
When Did you return to Nigeria? ” I asked curiously , not
forgotten to wear on a grin.
“I came back to Nigeria last year and actually, I’m here to
buy my wedding gown, for my wedding which will be
holding in a month time” she said while trying to search
for something in her bag, in which I assume to be an
invitation card.
” Yea, this is my wedding invitation card, you are invited ”
she said as she gave me the invitation card. She actually
meant to make me feel bad, which she succeeded but I
quickly cover it up with a smile.
“it’s… It’s a good thing… I’m happy for you and… I want to
say I’m sorry about the past and… ”
” it okay ay, they are all gone, we ain’t meant to be
together, my number is in the card, you can give me a call
” she said with a look that seems less concerns.
I fixed her tyre, and she went her way. I felt so bad and
hurt that I have to turn and head back home.
I got home and for some reason, I shed tears. I drink
myself to sleep but I was woken by the call that came in
my phone. I checked the caller and it was Agatha.
Agatha : hello friend
Me: hi dear
Agatha : are you okay?
Me: yes… I was sleeping when you called.
Agatha : OK… Can you guess what
Me: bad time to guess.
Agatha : common big head, just try.
Me: OK… You got promoted in your job?
Agatha : No, one more try.
Me : Ehen… You got demoted in your..
Agatha: shut up! stupid boy.
Me : so what it is?
Agatha : your friend, ope just proposed to me. I’m getting
married Ayo!!!
Me : oh… Wao… Greatest news
Agatha : ain’t you happy for me?
Me : sure I am… I’m very happy for you… I will call you
back dear.
I said then I ended the call.
” is like they send this people to me ni ooo, which kind
news I dey hear since morning na, the first one is Amaka
now it’s Agatha, shey make I go die ni? Cos dem Don
terrorize my life finish with marriage, maybe this is how
God choose to punish me for the girls wey I Don dey
bleep. ” I soliloquise, then fell back to sleep.
Evening arrived sooner than I expected and I was woken
up by a call from Anike reminding me of my blind date. I
had lost interest in the date, but after alot of persuasion
from her, I made up my mind to go.
And for the Third times in a very long time, I dressed like
a gentleman. I kit myself up in a Mexican suit and a
Italian shoe to match it up.
I drove to the British restaurant and I met Anike dressed
in a Cinderella gown.
” are you here for a date or something? ” I asked
immediately I saw her, cos I wasn’t expecting her.
“No I’m just here to guide you, so that you won’t talk to
the wrong person ” she said, then she dragged me inside .
” I’ve made arrangements for the table, I guessed you
didn’t know you suppose to do that ” she said as she
shown me the table. I found my name on a small
triangular paper shape board and also Ayomide name was
there , I guessed that was how they do in a blind date.
I sat down and Anike sat at the other table but not too far
from me. So I began waiting for my date.
After waiting for 20 minutes, I saw a middle age woman
Walking briskly towards me, with her eyes fixed directly
on me.
“odumodu!!! ” I exclaimed, cos she was as ugly as a bat.
“Anike, a Goat is approaching me, I hope she’s not the
one ” I said silently to her. She looked into my direction
and…
“holy s--t!!! This is more than a Goat, it’s a pig!!! ” she
retorted.
“are you saying… What the f--k? ” I mumbled with fear.
” relax bro, she’s not the one. ” she said calmly.
” she better not be” I replied with a relax voice.
After waiting for another 20 minutes and also at the edge
of giving up, she arrived.
” she here!! Brother ” Anike shouted as she sighted her. I
watched with my mouth wide opened like a dog as she
approached and sat down with me.
” excuse me? Are you the one I’m here to meet ” came a
voice that sounds like that of an angel. I couldn’t reply, I
just nodded in response.
” so… Why are you looking at me like that ” she said after
she discovered my unblinking eye on her.
” I’m sorry Ayomide, you are just so beautiful ” I said in
the sweetest voice I have.
” thank you” she replied softly.
” so what will you like to take? ” I asked just like a
gentleman will do.
“something liquid for a start ” she replied more softly.
I mentioned the waiter closer and ordered for two glass
of champagne, which was served to us some seconds
after.
I looked at Anike and she gave me a thumb up with the
chicken lap, she was devouring.
While drinking the champagne, I tried to start up some
conversation with her.
” you look so much like someone I know in the past, she
look just exactly as you ” I said with a little gentleness.
“oh really? ” she replied with a smile.
“Yea… Her name is Erica and… I hope to see her again
one day ” I said slowly.
” Anyway, I’m not her and I’m just me ” she said then
followed by some little laughter.
” so tell me about yourself? ” I asked with some charming
voice. She looked at me for a while then smiled before
answering me.
” I began this world late, but I was able to made a living
out of it, I studied bio chemistry at the University and I got
a teaching job at a private school that pays me well, I live
alone with my adopted parents that sponsored me
through out my stay in the University. Speaking about
what I do for fun, I love swimming and my hobbies are
dancing, singing, playing indoor games and also I like
Travelling ” she said.
” Wao, fantastic… I really admire your style… Let try to eat
something now, we will talk about the rest after we are
done eating ” I said, then I mention the waiter closer for
our order.
The date went fine and after everything was over, I
dropped her at her place.
“I really enjoyed the moment I had with you today, they
are awesome, I hope to see more of you soon” I said
after I dropped her at her place.
” Yea, it was nice time with you today ” she said, then she
began staring into my eyes, I didn’t know what to do, but
the devil in me pushed me to kiss her, it was a light kiss
and she replied slowly.
“emmm… I will give you a call when I got home ” I said
scratching my head with my fingers.
I entered back into my car and I saw Anike hiding at the
back seat.
” so you are here all along ” I asked looking at her
through the center mirror.
“yes, I saw everything. It was awesome, wasn’t it? ” she
asked trowing a punch at me.
“hey !!!how many Chicken laps did you eat at the
restaurant? ” I asked as I ignite the engine.
“chicken laps? No, I ate two full chickens ” she replied
which made me apply break suddenly.
“what the hell !? Full chickens? Not just one but two!! ” I
shouted in surprise.
” when I was lonely nko? ” she replied.
“don’t worry, mama will hear of it, glutton, big head
gormandizer.” I said as I drove her home

On a beautiful Monday morning, I was in my office doing
what I know best, when my secretary informed me on the
telephone about the arrival of some guest, I asked her to
let them in and they entered, I saw Tina and her fiance
looking extraordinary beautiful.
” oh what a pleasant surprise!!! ” I shouted immediately I
saw the both of them.
“please make yourself comfortable , what should I offer
you two ” I asked with a smile of joy.
“actually I would say No, but I will appreciate a cup of
coffee ” Josh said (Tina fiance)
” Ummm… You can drink coffee for Africa” Tina said as
she punch him slowly.
” Ayo we came here to tell you something ” Tina said.
“oh what is it?” I asked looking at the two of them, but
they first look at each other faces but shouting the words
together.
” we are getting married!!! ” they both screamed.
” oh my God! Congratulations, I’m so happy for you two.
Wao…we need to drink to this ” I said happily.
” Yea, I’ve seen to that, come to my place tonight and let
have some champagne, I’m trowing a little party today ”
Josh said with a big grin.
” I trust you, Wao this year is just full of joy ” I muttered
loudly.
” Yea, and one more thing” Tina said, ” can you best my
Man for me, he have no friends ” she said.
” What am I doing that I won’t best my friend, common I
will best and unbest him… Sorry I mean I will do it ” I said
sarcastically.
” Yea, when coming to our place today, come with your
own woman too, I don’t want to hear that you are still
single ” Josh said jokingly.
“Yea… Actually… I have someone I’m serious with, I met
her some months ago”
” …oh really? What’s her name ?” Tina asked curiously.
“Ayomide, she’s my namesake ” I replied.
” bring her along tonight, I will like to meet her ” Tina
said. We talked for a while, then they took their leave.
I ran a conference call to my three friends back in my
university days. Ope, Ben and mayor.
Me : hello to the three musketeers
Ben: stupid boy
Ope: woman worrier
Mayor : my best buddy, how are you ? It’s been a while.

jump for river Abi.
Ope : Ogbeni shut up make I hear word.
Me : I’m ending the call, if you like go jump for inside
H2SO4. Just don’t come alone tonight.
I ended the call, then I texted Ayomide about the party
and she promised to show up. After the day work, I
headed to my parent house to say hi to them.
Unfortunately, they went on a visit so I met Only Anike at
home talking to one of her cat.
” so you still talk to animals? ” I said as I made to sit
down.
” Yea, it’s a gift. Just as you have the ability to see things,
and beside I’m lonely and bored ” she replied.
” Oh… I would have take you along with me to a party
tonight if you ain’t a glutton ” I said avoiding her eyes
contact.
” brother it’s unfair ooo, you know it’s not good ooo” she
said with a pitied face.
” unfair is when you finish two full chickens without giving
me some to eat ” I replied still not looking at her.
” I’m speechless so you also want some, I could have
order for 3″ she retorted.
” Son of Malacca!!! Three what? ”
” three full chickens, anyway I know you will take me
along tonight, I won’t eat much, but I can’t promise if I
see chicken. ” she cut in with a smile.
Since mama ayo have no other daughter, I agreed to take
her with me, I branched at Ayomide place to pick her up
since it’s seems like the right to do.
We got there and the party was just about starting, even
though it’s a living room party. I met my friends there, I
knew they will come.
” who is that betrothed lady? ” Ayomide asked me with
her sweet voice.
” she’s a long old friend, her name is Tina, let me
introduce you to her ” I said as I signalled to Tina to
come.
” Tina, meet Ayomide, the lady I told you about ” I said
and I watched as they both exchange pleasantries.
I walk Ayomide to a comfortable place to sit then I
search for Anike, who I’m sure will be sniffing around for
chicken. While looking around for her, Tina stood at the
center to make a speech before having the wine toast.
“I appreciate everyone present here, I grateful. My
topmost thanks goes to my true friend, Ayomide. Who
brought me back to human with a mermaid tears he got
from a friend whom I will be forever grateful to. Please a
toast to Ayomide and to the upcoming blessings” she
said the she raise up her glass for the toast.
I saw Anike, speaking with one of the chef, and before I
knew it, she has been given a chicken. I was about
collecting the chicken from her when Ayomide drag me
aside.
” is she your friend you saved with my tears ” she asked.
But the question came so perplexed to me.
” your tears? I don’t get you ” I asked confusedly
” it’s me Erica, I was the mermaid ” she slowly, but it’s
seems Tina heard her as well.
” what the… ”
” you were the mermaid that saved me? ” Tina cut in.
” Yea, I was. My name is Erica ” she said slowly.
” how come you are now Ayomide? ” I asked with
curiosity.
” actually, after I left, I couldn’t clean your memory away
from my head. I took after your name so as to always
remember you, I never thought I will see you again, not
until your sister show me your picture, I love the name
Ayomide, and now you are my joy that has come” she
said.
” oh my God.. So you mean that big head eating chicken
over there knew about it? ” I asked eagerly.
“Yea she does know about everything, I told her not to tell
you the truth ” she said with a smile.
” seriously… I didn’t see it coming ” I muttered slowly.
“Yea… Remember I told you, that someday you will see
me and not as a mermaid but as a human ” she said.

On Tina’s wedding day, I was the best man as I said and
Erica on the hand was Tina best lady.
It was a lovely ceremony and I planned to make it a
rememberable one for myself and Erica. Just as the
pastor said ‘ You may kiss the bride’. I went on my kneels
before Erica and hold her hand softly.
” Erica… I might not be the perfect guy for you, I might
not be the best guy in the world for you. But one thing is
sure that I know, and that is… Love. I promise to love you
from now till forever and I will always be faithful and
honest with every single breath that I take. I love you
Erica… I have only one request from you, and I want
everyone present here to be my witnesses.
Erica… Will you marry me? ” I said slowly.
” oh My God!!! I will Marry you!!! ” she shouted out
happily. I inserted in the ring and… We kissed.
All is well that ends well…
No one can go back and make a brand new start, but
anyone can start from here and make a brand new end.
Sometimes… The adventure have to to end.
The End.
(finale)
No one can go back and make a brand new start, but
anyone can start from here and make a brand new end.
A child can’t play for a 20 years, at some point, I got tired
and began feeling lonely. I need someone more than just
a companion, someone I could call my life partner, but
insted I found bitches, whores, fuckers and d--k suckers.
Non of them seems to worth the space. But there’s
always a woman for every man, Mine just take long to
locate me.
In my working place, I used to be silent and laconic, but
I’m as dangerous as a snake when it got to bleeping
ladies. My first day at work, I bleeped one of the
coworkers.
Aduni was her name, she happens to be the first person I
met when I resumed for work. She was quite a beauty,
just that her butt and boobs were quite small. After the
normal introduction, She showed me my office then gave
me a dirty eye wink. I regarded it as nothing as I set to
work.
After the day work, I was outside the company trying to
catch a bus, cos I was yet to get my own car then. A
Toyota car parked in front of me and the mirror was being
lowed down. I bend my head low and I saw Aduni inside.
” where are you going? Come inside let me drop you ”
she said. I jumped in without hesitating, cos I was already
tired of waiting.
On the way we chit chatted and I found her company
quite nasty and maybe intense.
” won’t you like to know my place ” she said, at first I
wanted to say no, but since I have nothing important to
do at home, I agreed and follow her.
On getting to her place, she offered me a red wine and a
light snacks. I helped myself with the wine, eating a flour
snacks wasn’t my way. I was enjoying myself with the
wine While Aduni went in to change her office cloth. She
came back outside clad in a bum short and a tight
singlet, which was quite transparent. She wasn’t wearing a

She sat close to me resting her b----t on my right

and without even thinking, I turned my head and kiss her.
She didn’t reply the kiss and I guessed I hit it wrong. I
was about apologizing when she mount on me and
Remove her singlet here by exposing her small standing

” I can’t remember the last time I have sex, but can you
f--k me hard ” she said. I looked at her surprised, I knew
no words are necessary .
I attacked her b----t with an unexpected action which let
her made loose of a moan. Even though her b----t ain’t
big, they seems to be her weaken point.
Without wasting time, I removed her bum short and trow
it away to somewhere I still can’t remember. I spread her
leg wide as I penetrated into the hole slowly, it seems
tight at first, so I went in slowly then I was able to have
my d--k fully into her p---y after a while.
Not f-----g her hard will be usual of me, so I gave her the
best f--k of her life. She wasn’t able to stand after I ended
up the first round of the sex, when I went in for second
round, she was begging me to stop, when her pleading
was too much, I stopped.
I continued living my life the way it comes, every steps I
took was always a step towards an adventurous event,
and mostly I end up f-----g whoever that comes my way.
I went home to visit my parents and also to say hi to my
only sister Anike, I was enjoying my chat with Anike when
my parent came up with their regular talk.
” Ayo, when will you get married? When will you settle
down, you are not getting any younger ” they will say. It
has even became a regular phase that I will even help
them to complete the sentence.
“mom, dad, I’m trying my best, I will come home with a
woman one day ” I will said just for them to let go of me.
I excused myself to meet Anike in her room, cos she has
been keeping alot of gist for me and she can’t wait to
explode.
“so funny, so you mean mama wore a sexy gown just to
impress papa ?” I said while listening to Anike gist.
“so tell me, do you have a boyfriend? ” I asked after she
was done gisting me.
” Yea, I have one, but I know we are both deceiving
ourselves, not until he give me an assurance ” she said,

” I got it, didn’t you say she hate men? ” I cut in.
” Yea, and that’s why she’s still single ” she replied.
“that’s it!! I’m a man. She will probably hate me too ” I
retorted.
” no, that’s not it. Don’t tell me you can’t win a lady over?
Say yes and I’m off to telling mom and dad ” she said
with her eye wide open as a she goat.
” Yes.. I mean… No. I can win a lady heart ” I said with a
stammering voice.
“good, now I’m challenging you with this one ” she said
rolling her eyes dextrorotatory.
” OK fine, tell me what I need to know ” I said, waving her
away with my head.
” her name is Ayomide, don’t say anything, she’s your
namesake, like I said earlier on, she’s my teacher, we are
close and I’ve made the job easy for you cos I’ve been
telling her about you, and believe me she would love to
meet you, I have her number here with me, you can give
her a call to confirm everything ” she said.
“wait… In a nutshell… You want me to go on a blind date
with this lady? ”
“Exactly!!! “she cut in.
“holy s--t!!! ” I exclaimed.
” I’m calling her right away ” she said then she ran a call
to her using my phone.
She picked on the second ring then Anike quickly pass the
phone to me.
Me : Hello, am I on to Miss Ayomide?
Ayomide : yes, may I know you?
Me : sure my name is Ayo and I got your number from my
sister
Ayomide : who’s your sister please?
Me: her name is Anike, she said you are her teacher
Ayomide : Yea I know her.
Me : you have a sweet voice
Ayomide : yours ain’t bad
Me : oh, I was expecting a thank you, I guess I will be the
one saying that now.
Ayomide : maybe
Me :ok… My sister told me alot about you and I was
thinking maybe, we can meet in person.
Ayomide : I’m the busy type and besides I don’t really like
meeting guys.
Me : Yea, she told me that, but she also told me that you
won’t refuse the meeting.
Ayomide : I never said that to her
Me : are you saying my sister is lying?
Ayomide : no, she don’t lie, perhaps you are the one lying.
Me : Wao, you are intelligent, so how do we meet.
Ayomide: I will have to think about it.
Me : what about tomorrow evening at the British
restaurant, 8pm
Ayomide : you are funny, you are concluding already
Me : cos I trust my sister and you won’t to let her down.
Ayomide : OK… No problem then.
Me: see ya
Ayomide : bye
I ended the call then turn to face Anike, which was
impatiently waiting for response from me.
” I guessed she is as beautiful as you say ?” I said.
” hell yeah, so? ” she asked with curiosity.
” we are meeting tomorrow evening” I replied. I watched
as she jumped up and dance to her imaginary song and
beat.
” give me the venue and time, I must not miss the show ”
she said.
“maybe you should ask my phone ” I said as I speed out
of her room.

The following day, I was driving to work in the morning
when I saw a lady, trying to change her flat tyre, I had no
intention of stopping, but I found her too beautiful to be
doing a man job. So I parked my car beside the road and
offered her a helping hand.I didn’t look much at her face,
I just went ahead to changing the tyre. I was almost done
fixing the tyre when I heard her calling my name,
Immediately, I turned to face her directly, on recognizing
who she is, I dropped the spanner I’m holding.
” Amaka!!! ” I shouted as soon as I recognize her. I moved
closer to her then gave her a hug.
” Wao you look so beautiful, what are you doing here?
When Did you return to Nigeria? ” I asked curiously , not
forgotten to wear on a grin.
“I came back to Nigeria last year and actually, I’m here to
buy my wedding gown, for my wedding which will be
holding in a month time” she said while trying to search
for something in her bag, in which I assume to be an
invitation card.
” Yea, this is my wedding invitation card, you are invited ”
she said as she gave me the invitation card. She actually
meant to make me feel bad, which she succeeded but I
quickly cover it up with a smile.
“it’s… It’s a good thing… I’m happy for you and… I want to
say I’m sorry about the past and… ”
” it okay ay, they are all gone, we ain’t meant to be
together, my number is in the card, you can give me a call
” she said with a look that seems less concerns.
I fixed her tyre, and she went her way. I felt so bad and
hurt that I have to turn and head back home.
I got home and for some reason, I shed tears. I drink
myself to sleep but I was woken by the call that came in
my phone. I checked the caller and it was Agatha.
Agatha : hello friend
Me: hi dear
Agatha : are you okay?
Me: yes… I was sleeping when you called.
Agatha : OK… Can you guess what
Me: bad time to guess.
Agatha : common big head, just try.
Me: OK… You got promoted in your job?
Agatha : No, one more try.
Me : Ehen… You got demoted in your..
Agatha: shut up! stupid boy.
Me : so what it is?
Agatha : your friend, ope just proposed to me. I’m getting
married Ayo!!!
Me : oh… Wao… Greatest news
Agatha : ain’t you happy for me?
Me : sure I am… I’m very happy for you… I will call you
back dear.
I said then I ended the call.
” is like they send this people to me ni ooo, which kind
news I dey hear since morning na, the first one is Amaka
now it’s Agatha, shey make I go die ni? Cos dem Don
terrorize my life finish with marriage, maybe this is how
God choose to punish me for the girls wey I Don dey
bleep. ” I soliloquise, then fell back to sleep.
Evening arrived sooner than I expected and I was woken
up by a call from Anike reminding me of my blind date. I
had lost interest in the date, but after alot of persuasion
from her, I made up my mind to go.
And for the Third times in a very long time, I dressed like
a gentleman. I kit myself up in a Mexican suit and a
Italian shoe to match it up.
I drove to the British restaurant and I met Anike dressed
in a Cinderella gown.
” are you here for a date or something? ” I asked
immediately I saw her, cos I wasn’t expecting her.
“No I’m just here to guide you, so that you won’t talk to
the wrong person ” she said, then she dragged me inside .
” I’ve made arrangements for the table, I guessed you
didn’t know you suppose to do that ” she said as she
shown me the table. I found my name on a small
triangular paper shape board and also Ayomide name was
there , I guessed that was how they do in a blind date.
I sat down and Anike sat at the other table but not too far
from me. So I began waiting for my date.
After waiting for 20 minutes, I saw a middle age woman
Walking briskly towards me, with her eyes fixed directly
on me.
“odumodu!!! ” I exclaimed, cos she was as ugly as a bat.
“Anike, a Goat is approaching me, I hope she’s not the
one ” I said silently to her. She looked into my direction
and…
“holy s--t!!! This is more than a Goat, it’s a pig!!! ” she
retorted.
“are you saying… What the f--k? ” I mumbled with fear.
” relax bro, she’s not the one. ” she said calmly.
” she better not be” I replied with a relax voice.
After waiting for another 20 minutes and also at the edge
of giving up, she arrived.
” she here!! Brother ” Anike shouted as she sighted her. I
watched with my mouth wide opened like a dog as she
approached and sat down with me.
” excuse me? Are you the one I’m here to meet ” came a
voice that sounds like that of an angel. I couldn’t reply, I
just nodded in response.
” so… Why are you looking at me like that ” she said after
she discovered my unblinking eye on her.
” I’m sorry Ayomide, you are just so beautiful ” I said in
the sweetest voice I have.
” thank you” she replied softly.
” so what will you like to take? ” I asked just like a
gentleman will do.
“something liquid for a start ” she replied more softly.
I mentioned the waiter closer and ordered for two glass
of champagne, which was served to us some seconds
after.
I looked at Anike and she gave me a thumb up with the
chicken lap, she was devouring.
While drinking the champagne, I tried to start up some
conversation with her.
” you look so much like someone I know in the past, she
look just exactly as you ” I said with a little gentleness.
“oh really? ” she replied with a smile.
“Yea… Her name is Erica and… I hope to see her again
one day ” I said slowly.
” Anyway, I’m not her and I’m just me ” she said then
followed by some little laughter.
” so tell me about yourself? ” I asked with some charming
voice. She looked at me for a while then smiled before
answering me.
” I began this world late, but I was able to made a living
out of it, I studied bio chemistry at the University and I got
a teaching job at a private school that pays me well, I live
alone with my adopted parents that sponsored me
through out my stay in the University. Speaking about
what I do for fun, I love swimming and my hobbies are
dancing, singing, playing indoor games and also I like
Travelling ” she said.
” Wao, fantastic… I really admire your style… Let try to eat
something now, we will talk about the rest after we are
done eating ” I said, then I mention the waiter closer for
our order.
The date went fine and after everything was over, I
dropped her at her place.
“I really enjoyed the moment I had with you today, they
are awesome, I hope to see more of you soon” I said
after I dropped her at her place.
” Yea, it was nice time with you today ” she said, then she
began staring into my eyes, I didn’t know what to do, but
the devil in me pushed me to kiss her, it was a light kiss
and she replied slowly.
“emmm… I will give you a call when I got home ” I said
scratching my head with my fingers.
I entered back into my car and I saw Anike hiding at the
back seat.
” so you are here all along ” I asked looking at her
through the center mirror.
“yes, I saw everything. It was awesome, wasn’t it? ” she
asked trowing a punch at me.
“hey !!!how many Chicken laps did you eat at the
restaurant? ” I asked as I ignite the engine.
“chicken laps? No, I ate two full chickens ” she replied
which made me apply break suddenly.
“what the hell !? Full chickens? Not just one but two!! ” I
shouted in surprise.
” when I was lonely nko? ” she replied.
“don’t worry, mama will hear of it, glutton, big head
gormandizer.” I said as I drove her home

On a beautiful Monday morning, I was in my office doing
what I know best, when my secretary informed me on the
telephone about the arrival of some guest, I asked her to
let them in and they entered, I saw Tina and her fiance
looking extraordinary beautiful.
” oh what a pleasant surprise!!! ” I shouted immediately I
saw the both of them.
“please make yourself comfortable , what should I offer
you two ” I asked with a smile of joy.
“actually I would say No, but I will appreciate a cup of
coffee ” Josh said (Tina fiance)
” Ummm… You can drink coffee for Africa” Tina said as
she punch him slowly.
” Ayo we came here to tell you something ” Tina said.
“oh what is it?” I asked looking at the two of them, but
they first look at each other faces but shouting the words
together.
” we are getting married!!! ” they both screamed.
” oh my God! Congratulations, I’m so happy for you two.
Wao…we need to drink to this ” I said happily.
” Yea, I’ve seen to that, come to my place tonight and let
have some champagne, I’m trowing a little party today ”
Josh said with a big grin.
” I trust you, Wao this year is just full of joy ” I muttered
loudly.
” Yea, and one more thing” Tina said, ” can you best my
Man for me, he have no friends ” she said.
” What am I doing that I won’t best my friend, common I
will best and unbest him… Sorry I mean I will do it ” I said
sarcastically.
” Yea, when coming to our place today, come with your
own woman too, I don’t want to hear that you are still
single ” Josh said jokingly.
“Yea… Actually… I have someone I’m serious with, I met
her some months ago”
” …oh really? What’s her name ?” Tina asked curiously.
“Ayomide, she’s my namesake ” I replied.
” bring her along tonight, I will like to meet her ” Tina
said. We talked for a while, then they took their leave.
I ran a conference call to my three friends back in my
university days. Ope, Ben and mayor.
Me : hello to the three musketeers
Ben: stupid boy
Ope: woman worrier
Mayor : my best buddy, how are you ? It’s been a while.
Me : Yea I know, I hope everyone is good.
Ope : Yea
Mayor : Yea

Me : Ben, mayor have you guys heard that ope has

Ben : na so I hear am ooo
Mayor : the idiot wan marry your best friend last last sha.

Mayor : don’t mind him jare.
Me: It’s been long since we guys drink together
Ben: Yea, na so.
Me: there’s a party today at my friend place, let we guys
all meet there for a long time reunion.
Ope : Yea, that’s a good idea.

Ope : I will come with my one and only love.
Ben: Hmmm… The thunder that will strike this guy Still

jump for river Abi.
Ope : Ogbeni shut up make I hear word.
Me : I’m ending the call, if you like go jump for inside
H2SO4. Just don’t come alone tonight.
I ended the call, then I texted Ayomide about the party
and she promised to show up. After the day work, I
headed to my parent house to say hi to them.
Unfortunately, they went on a visit so I met Only Anike at
home talking to one of her cat.
” so you still talk to animals? ” I said as I made to sit
down.
” Yea, it’s a gift. Just as you have the ability to see things,
and beside I’m lonely and bored ” she replied.
” Oh… I would have take you along with me to a party
tonight if you ain’t a glutton ” I said avoiding her eyes
contact.
” brother it’s unfair ooo, you know it’s not good ooo” she
said with a pitied face.
” unfair is when you finish two full chickens without giving
me some to eat ” I replied still not looking at her.
” I’m speechless so you also want some, I could have
order for 3″ she retorted.
” Son of Malacca!!! Three what? ”
” three full chickens, anyway I know you will take me
along tonight, I won’t eat much, but I can’t promise if I
see chicken. ” she cut in with a smile.
Since mama ayo have no other daughter, I agreed to take
her with me, I branched at Ayomide place to pick her up
since it’s seems like the right to do.
We got there and the party was just about starting, even
though it’s a living room party. I met my friends there, I
knew they will come.
” who is that betrothed lady? ” Ayomide asked me with
her sweet voice.
” she’s a long old friend, her name is Tina, let me
introduce you to her ” I said as I signalled to Tina to
come.
” Tina, meet Ayomide, the lady I told you about ” I said
and I watched as they both exchange pleasantries.
I walk Ayomide to a comfortable place to sit then I
search for Anike, who I’m sure will be sniffing around for
chicken. While looking around for her, Tina stood at the
center to make a speech before having the wine toast.
“I appreciate everyone present here, I grateful. My
topmost thanks goes to my true friend, Ayomide. Who
brought me back to human with a mermaid tears he got
from a friend whom I will be forever grateful to. Please a
toast to Ayomide and to the upcoming blessings” she
said the she raise up her glass for the toast.
I saw Anike, speaking with one of the chef, and before I
knew it, she has been given a chicken. I was about
collecting the chicken from her when Ayomide drag me
aside.
” is she your friend you saved with my tears ” she asked.
But the question came so perplexed to me.
” your tears? I don’t get you ” I asked confusedly
” it’s me Erica, I was the mermaid ” she slowly, but it’s
seems Tina heard her as well.
” what the… ”
” you were the mermaid that saved me? ” Tina cut in.
” Yea, I was. My name is Erica ” she said slowly.
” how come you are now Ayomide? ” I asked with
curiosity.
” actually, after I left, I couldn’t clean your memory away
from my head. I took after your name so as to always
remember you, I never thought I will see you again, not
until your sister show me your picture, I love the name
Ayomide, and now you are my joy that has come” she
said.
” oh my God.. So you mean that big head eating chicken
over there knew about it? ” I asked eagerly.
“Yea she does know about everything, I told her not to tell
you the truth ” she said with a smile.
” seriously… I didn’t see it coming ” I muttered slowly.
“Yea… Remember I told you, that someday you will see
me and not as a mermaid but as a human ” she said.
******** *********** ********** ********** *********** *******

On Tina’s wedding day, I was the best man as I said and
Erica on the hand was Tina best lady.
It was a lovely ceremony and I planned to make it a
rememberable one for myself and Erica. Just as the
pastor said ‘ You may kiss the bride’. I went on my kneels
before Erica and hold her hand softly.
” Erica… I might not be the perfect guy for you, I might
not be the best guy in the world for you. But one thing is
sure that I know, and that is… Love. I promise to love you
from now till forever and I will always be faithful and
honest with every single breath that I take. I love you
Erica… I have only one request from you, and I want
everyone present here to be my witnesses.
Erica… Will you marry me? ” I said slowly.
” oh My God!!! I will Marry you!!! ” she shouted out
happily. I inserted in the ring and… We kissed.
All is well that ends well…
No one can go back and make a brand new start, but
anyone can start from here and make a brand new end.
Sometimes… The adventure have to to end.
The End.
