Make It Rain

TWENTY-TWO

"Bunmi you can't keep doing this to yourself," Esther stood over her friend with a plate of rice, "you have to eat something." 

"Not one, but two! Esther. She took two of my sons away from me." Mrs. Akande's face was gloomy, as it had been for the past few days.

"Hmm... I understand you but don't you think you might be mistaking the whole situation."

"What do you mean?" Mrs. Akande's expression immediately changed.

"I mean, I have seen Shola several times and she seemed like a very good girl. Even you said once that she is like the daughter you never..." 

"Don't dare finish that statement!" She had no interest in hearing Shola's praises.

"If it wasn't for her presence in Samuel's life I would have still had my two boys with me by now. I don't care whatever you think!"

On the day fated for Samuel and Shola's meeting, there was no way Mrs. Akande could have guessed things would turn out this way. And even if she did, would she have been able to stop it?

Guess not.

They might have not been destined to be together but they were surely fated to meet.

"If only I could rewind things... tch!!!" She nodded her head, "Ahh Oluwa oo help me. God help me oo!!" Raising her gaze and her hands to the sky.

"It's alright my friend. Trust me things will surely improve, just be patient." No matter how rudely Mrs. Akande spoke to her friend, Esther, she was always there for her. 

"Here... now please eat something." Taking a spoon full of rice to her friend's mouth.

"I thought you said you had never had sex before."

"I thought you said 'you' had never had sex before."

"Hehe... I hadn't until now though." He braced her forehead with a kiss.

With a scooch, Shola moulded her pliable body into his. "Me too." 

Without further response Samuel just stroke her hair, holding on tight to her waist.

"Thank you Samuel." She pushed her head under his chin. "I really needed this." Not the sex, but the moment with him.

Even though Shola was so much in love with Samuel's body and how he handled her during sex, she was never still the sexually inclined type of person. The time she got to spend with Samuel held a lot more value to her than anything else, especially now that her father was gone.

Spending time with Samuel could only help her forget for the moment, definitely she had to face life again and right now her life was that her father was dead.

"You needed 'this'?!"

"Shut up, you know what I mean." She chuckled softly. Of course he knew.

All of a sudden Shola had completely forgotten she was once mad at Samuel. It was like every time she saw his face, she forgot everything else but him and how happy she was seeing him. Maybe Junmi was wrong after all, things were only as bad as they were because they hadn't met yet. Now that they had, everything will surely be fine now.

Of course, if Seun had nothing to do with it.

Ping!!

"Ignore it." Shola didn't want another message or call to ruin their moment. "It's probably my dad's lawyer."

Was it?

Ping!! Ping!!

The phone went on ringing with multiple messages springing into her phone.
