‘’so what actually do you want from me?’’ Cassandra suddenly asked, leaving her beautiful eyes on me. I tried to relax as I met her gaze, breathing heavily as I quickly formed an answer in my mind.
‘’I know you probably must be hearing what I’m about telling you everyday but I beg of you to believe me. I’m not a kid and I’m equally not getting younger. I’m at the ripe age to settle down and I’m here with you today because you have all the qualities I need in a wife. I really would so much appreciate if you will consider me much more than a friend. Let’s make things happen together. Let’s fix our future together’’ I answered solemnly, my heart pounding furiously as I watched her reaction. She simply smiled and shrugged.
‘’invariably, you want me as a wife and not as a girlfriend?’’ she asked slowly. I nodded quickly.
‘’well just like you said, this isn’t the first, second nor third time I’m hearing such words. I’m equally not a kid nor a naive young girl who would shiver on hearing the word marriage. To win someone like me, you will have to work hard for it. You will first work your way into my heart . first as a friend, then as a lover before I can even consider you. ‘’ she simply replied, leaving me a bit excited and confused at the same time.
‘’but we are already friends right?’’ I asked with a smile. She rolled her eyes.
‘’well for now, we are mere acquaintances. You haven’t proved yourself as a friend yet’’ she answered, leaving me extremely surprised. My face fell.
‘’come on, don’t be like that. You should know I’m not an easy person. I don’t mess around. So you have all the time to prove yourself to me. You are aiming towards marriage and it requires dedication and commitment’’ she preached while I shrugged with resignation.
‘’so when are we seeing again?’’ I asked.
‘’I really don’t know. I’m going back to school on the third of January’’ she answered.
‘’alright. I believe we will be seeing often’’ I murmured.
‘’I hope so’ she breathed.
I drove her home afterwards, before rushing home to meet my dad anxiously waiting for me.
‘’where went you?’’ dad asked,
‘’I went to see a friend’’ I answered with a smile.
‘’I hope you didn’t go drinking with friends?’’ he asked suspiciously. I laughed.
‘’come on dad, will I be back this early supposing I went out drinking with friends. Actually I was with a woman. A lady I plan to marry’’ I answered innocently, leaving a great smile on the old man’s face.
‘’now you are talking son. You know I have been worried that at your age you are yet to bring a woman home. But why hang out with her outside?. Why didn’t you bring her home?’’ he queried with a frown.
‘’don’t worry dad. I will soon bring her home. I promise”. I assured the old man .
New year (2013) arrived with me getting more fond of Cassandra. We spoke on phone almost four times every day . I couldn’t stay an hour without thinking about her.
She equally responded and behaved very well to me. Her responses and everything she did was kind of a green light to me. I fell madly in love with her. I never hesitated in telling my friends and neighbors about my Cassandra even though the pretty girl was yet to officially say yes to me but I believed her positive/encouraging actions towards me were more than the yes I needed.
I was so ready to do anything for her. I was so madly in love. Everything was green in my eyes.
On the second Thursday of January 2013, she surprised me with a phone call.
‘’hi Dave , what’s up?’’ she greeted.
‘’I’m very fine dear’’ I answered with happiness.
‘’I will be very free this weekend and I want to spend it with you. Hope you will be free to pick me up on Friday evening ?’’ she asked, surprising me with the unexpected offer. I couldn’t find my voice for some seconds. I could not believe my ears. I couldn’t believe it was all real.
‘’gosh a hot girl like Cassandra offering to spend a full weekend with me, without me even asking?’’ I reasoned with great joy.
‘’there isn’t any doubt she’s mine. Of course what is yours is yours’’ I summarized as I licked my lips in anticipation of the great weekend that awaited me.
Just like she promised, by 7pm that fateful Friday, the pretty girl was well settled in my apartment, making me the most happiest bachelor on earth. My mind was so full of expectations.
OH CASSANDRA…. So beautiful, so charming, well mannered but full of pretense……..
.
.
I took Cassandra out for a wonderful
dinner in one of the new expensive
restaurants in town before we returned to
my apartment for a good night rest.
My hormones raged on fire as we settled
on my bed that fateful evening. My heart
throbbed loudly as a thousand and one
thoughts raced through my head. In fact
the way I felt was simply indescribable.
Cassandra’s actions were just totally
encouraging.
‘’perhaps I might even get the chance to
blow her tonight’’ I reasoned as I laid
beside her, staring into her beautiful
eyes.
Even though I had three extra rooms in
my apartment, I made Cassandra to sleep
in my room, though with the expectation
that she might decline but surprisingly
she made no argument nor refused
sleeping in my room. She accepted with
good faith which made me love her the
more because her behavior made me to
see her as a very matured and respectful
lady. ‘’why are you staring at me like that?’’ she
softly asked as we exchanged glances. I
breathed deeply and closed my eyes for
some seconds.
‘’I’m so happy. I really cant believe you
are here with me’’ I confessed. She
blushed and shifted uneasily.
‘’come on stop it. Moreover I know you
have lots of girlfriends’’ she breathed.
‘’well since I got to this town I haven’t
even seen a lady of my choice, talk more
of having her as a girlfriend. Though my
line of business hardly gives me the
opportunity to mingle with ladies. So you
are the only lady in my life right now and
I want you to occupy that position for
eternity’’ I answered. She kept quiet,
saying nothing.
‘’don’t you like me?’’ I suddenly asked for
no reason, drawing close to caress her
face. My hand trembled as I touched her
affectionately.
‘’’of course I like you. If not, I wouldn’t be
here’’ she answered, melting my heart
with her words. I drew closer, finding her
lips and kissing her. She instantly drew
back and sat up.
‘’please that should stop. It’s too early for
you to be kissing me. You have to respect
me’’ she said seriously, coloring up and
leaving me drawn back with surprise and
regret.
‘’I’m sorry dear’’ I stammered, swallowing
my emotions and feelings. Of course the
way she reacted when I kissed her
suspended the sexual plans I had for the
night but nevertheless I knew she had
every right to behave the way she did and
my respect for her still remained the
same.
We slept without making love.

Cassandra wasn’t only good looking and
sophisticated, she equally was very good
with house chores. The pretty damsel
used the later part of the next day which
was Saturday to prepare a delicious pot of
stew and soup for me. A very tasty meal
it was and the aroma was just enough to
attract even enemies to my home.
In my mind, every thing about her was
perfect. I resolved to make her my wife
as soon as possible. I was ready to go
through any hurdle just to wed her.
As we settled in my room, that Saturday
night. I stared at her with the urge to
make love to her but I was very scared of
upsetting her. I just didn’t know what to
do.
‘’there is something that has been
bothering me and I feel like sharing it
with you but my fear is that it isn’t the
right time to disturb you with my
problems’’ I heard her say with a soft
whisper. I instantly drew closer to her.
‘’what’s the problem my dear?’’ I asked
with great concern.
‘’no don’t worry, let’s forget it’’ she
breathed. I held her hands, staring into
her eyes.
‘’you can trust me with your problems. I
can help in any way possible’’ I urged.
She breathed deeply, hesitating slightly.
‘’it’s about my hostel rent’’ she
stammered.
‘’so what happened ?’’ I asked.
‘’things are very hard for my family right
now. Mum hasn’t been paid her salary
since last year October and my dad is
really struggling with the bills and every
other thing. My two brothers are in a
private university and their school fees
just drained the little money my dad had
left. I’m now left with no choice than to
pack out of my current lodge and squat
with a friend which I’m not used to. I
have been staying in a self contained
room right from my first year in the
university.’’’ She explained, tears dropping
from her eyes as she opened her mind to
me. I was touched.
She sounded so real, so genuine , so
emotional. Plus the tears. No I couldn’t
bear watching her cry.
‘’so how much is the rent?’’ I asked softly.
‘’ ninety thousand naira N90,000 (aprox
$450)’’ she answered.
‘’hmmm it’s a lot of money but don’t
worry. I will give you the money as you
leave for your school on Sunday’’ I
promised, drawing out a great smile from
her. She quickly wiped her tears.
‘’oh my God.. thank you dearest”” she
beamed with great joy, throwing herself
on my body and hugging me strongly.
However that was all I got from her that
fateful night. I never dared going for s-x,
out of fear that she might interpret it
wrongly and very early on Sunday
morning , I made a quick withdrawal at an
ATM machine nearby …..
Cassandra left with N95,000 on her first
visit to my house. N90,000 for the hostel
rent and additional N5000 for her
upkeep. A huge amount enough to take
my building project in the village to the
next level. But I did it all for love.. I felt
investing in her was much profitable than
my building project at home…
