He had heard love speak several times but not like that
No the way she made him feel
Daydreaming while driving was the height of it
She made him lose his head
She made him lose his self-consciousness
She made him hum melodies and tunes
He knew he didn’t really learn from anywhere
His response to her shocked him to the core
He had always prided himself as a level headed, pragmatic and sensible
But sense had nothing to do with what he felt for her
She was wild, like a boar, like a wild boar
She was the type of girl many mothers would pray their son would never meet in life
She was as beautiful as a peacock and as deadly as a snake
He met her in church
She was not a regular…
Their church had a weekly interdenominational prayer meeting that was held every Thursday morning
He attended that day because his mother insisted and he sat right beside her
It was like sitting beside a time bomb
He couldn’t explain it
The moment he noticed her, he got excited all over
It was a strange reaction
All he felt like doing was grabbing her by the hand and going somewhere to be with her
It was wild and absolutely out of character for him
She knew she had that reaction on him
She kept looking at him that way and giggling at a point, he couldn’t keep quiet anymore
He turned around and asked for her name
She smiled and told him
Then he asked for her phone number
She smiled and gave it to him
When the service was over, she stood up to leave
He quickly stood up and blocked her way
He said “I will like to get to know you”
She smiled and said “I will send you my address, check me at home by two”
He quickly dialed the phone number he gave her
Just to be sure It rang
She smiled
He removed himself from her path
She sashayed out of the pew line provocatively
His heart was racing
All he could think about was sex
He was twenty-nine years old
He had been in a relationship for seven years
A steady relationship that he was hoping would lead to a marriage
He had been a born again Christian since he clocked 16
He had walked the straight and narrow until his final year in the university when he succumbed to pressure and lost his virginity
He was twenty-two years old then
He and his girlfriend did a lot of kissing and cuddling around that time due to the uncertainty they were starring at as they were graduating
Neither of them knew what life had in stock for them and they wanted to secure whatever they could of their feelings for each other
Somehow hand-holding, led to kisses and kisses led to touching each other in sensitive places
They could have stopped but they were both lost in the tidal wave of that season
They kept pushing the limit until their resolve wore out and they started having sex
Somehow their relationship survived the storm that usually broke many relationships after graduation and NYSC
They made it
He had met his babe’s parents unofficially and his babe had met his parents too
His babe got a job at a leading mattress manufacturing company as soon as she finished her NYSC
He went for his masters and got employed in a bank afterward
They were both ready to get married as soon as five years after graduation
When they mentioned their intention to their parents, they were told to wait a few more years and save some more
His father especially was of the opinion that young men and women must sow their wild oats before settling down so that they wouldn’t be unsettled in their marriages
It was the most ridiculous thing he had ever heard His father (A nominal Christian) has a Ph.D in philosophy and was a natural weird thinker
His mother was of the opinion that if both parties are happy and comfortable with it, they should get married
His father had negotiated that he had to wait until he was thirty
His father said, if he had not sown his wild oats at 30, it is likely he wouldn’t sow them or perhaps he would sow them later and give everybody a headache due to the crisis that such would cause in his marriage
He had counted his father’s counsel as foolishness, until that day
His wild oats were running riot all over his body
He knew he would still do what he was planning to do even if he was married
His body was as tense as a snooker stick
He must put that black ball into the middle pocket
He went to see her at 2 pm
She was living in the estate
About ten minutes away from his parents’ house
Most of the buildings in the estate were mansions
Most of the mansions had staff quarters at the back for the domestic staff and sometimes for rent
She was living in one of those
She had a roommate who excused them a few minutes after she let him into their room
The room was feminine
There was a mattress, two plastic chairs, and a plastic table
There was a mirror on the wall and a dressing table
She was dressed in a short skirt that got his eyes all glued and his snooker stick straight
She made an attempt to delay the inevitable
She gave him her picture album and tried some small talk
Eventually, she walked by him and he grabbed her by the waist
There was no resistance
They danced until the dam broke and the water gushed
When he got home that day he felt both guilty and excited
His mother would have a fit if she knew what he had been up to
His father would most likely tell his mother it was inevitable
The puzzling thing was the fact that he didn’t want to marry or have anything beyond the moment with the lady
He would never marry her even if he was offered a million dollars to do so
It was only physical
It was just sex
He didn’t even care if she was sleeping with someone else
There was nothing emotional about it
It was simply something he had to get out of his system
He promised himself it was over
He would never have anything to do with the wild girl again
The girl didn’t ask him for anything
Not even his name
He wasn’t even sure who was using who between the two of them
The sex was unbelievable
She knew so much and he was willing to learn
By 6 pm that same day he drove to her house
This time her roommate was in the room with her own guy
He met her on her street, speaking with an elderly man
When she saw him she smiled and walked over to his car
She told him she was marketing a real estate product to the elderly man
He found out she was a marketer for a real estate company and she survived off the commission paid in by customers
He took her to a hotel
She told him she was not in the mood
He begged her
She asked him to promise it would be the last time
He promised
They got a room
He returned her home by 11 pm
It was the first time he had ever stayed outside his parent’s house till that time without calling in to explain what was going on
His parents were worried stiff by the time he got home
He told them he took a lady out to dinner
His mother told him she had called his fiance when they couldn’t reach him because his phone was switched off
He switched his phone off because he didn’t want to be disturbed when he was with her
His father asked him who the lady was
He started stammering…
His father began to laugh like a jackal
He felt undone
He knew his fiance would come to the house the next morning
He spent the better half of the night cooking up a story to tell her
When it was morning he went for a jog within the estate
He returned home by 9 am
He showered, dressed up and drove to the wild lady’s house
He knew he had promised her that it was over but something in his heart still longed for her
He parked his car close to the gate of her house and waited
Then his phone rang
It was his fiance
He couldn’t explain why he was angry
He just didn’t like the fact that she called
After about ten minutes of ignoring her call
He went back home
He saw her standing by the gate of his parent’s house
She was in tears
He parked his car and walked up to her She said “I know you met another girl and your head is in the cloud right now. I just want you to remember that you will meet several ladies in your lifetime and some of them will cause your blood to boil.
I will meet many men too, whom I will fancy or find more alluring than you
Feelings are fleeting but Love is a choice.
“I love you”
She hugged him and left
He went to his room for some time
He tried to call the wild girl twice but her number was either engaged or switched off and she didn’t return his call
The next day, he drove to his fiance’s house
He took her to dinner
Three weeks later, they initiated their wedding plan
Two months later, they had their introduction and engagement ceremony
Six months later, they got married!
PS: Event happened in Magodo Estate Lagos, 2016
8th July, 2020 is their fourth Wedding Anniversary
He shared the story with @gbengawemimo overnight
He said he still wondered what happened to him and why he fell so childishly for the wild girl
He was grateful that he was able to escape from the experience without ruining his life or his relationship with his beautiful
wife
The marriage is blessed with two children
GSW’s notes: There are words or ideas that come alive when we allow them in our reality
A believer does not have wild oats to sow
All his or her fruits are miraculous and meant for supernatural exploits
If you have an idea that you have to sleep around with a lot of guys or ladies before settling down so that you don’t cheat on your spouse, you are being taught and influenced by the devil who was a liar from the beginning!
The day you became a believer, everything about you became divine and godly
You are far above every idea or Philosophy, or ill that befalls the sons of men.
