Two Pink Lines|| A Short Story✔

Chapter 1

I place the cup containing steaming hot tea in my hands on the kitchen counter and hurry off to the dining table where my laptop- which made a ding sound- rested. It was almost twelve midnight and I have been using the past hour to apply for several scholarships online. That has become my daily routine since the day I was chased out of the examination hall solely because I couldn’t complete my school fees.

Placing the old hand-me-down DELL mini laptop on my naked ebony thighs, I click on the mail notification icon and my mail inbox opens to show a highlighted message with the name CHEVRON as the sender. Waves of nervousness course through my body, my palms become moist and my heart rate escalates as I mutter words of prayer under my breath.

“Congratulations, you have been awarded the CHEVRON University Scholarship for your degree programme in Accounting at University of Nigeria……..” I read aloud with my hands over my trembling lips to muffle the screams that are threatening to spill out of them. I drop the laptop on the bed like it would burn me if I hold it any minute longer and take long, fast strides to the bedroom.

Ayomide, my twenty-eight year old, light-skinned boyfriend lies on the well-arranged king-size bed on his belly, continuously tapping on the screen of his iPhone XS in a bid to win against his opponent in a game of Mortar Combat. My eyes take in the not-so-large but beautifully furnished room. His bedroom has always been a tourist attraction to me whenever I get to spend the night at his house.

I crawl up his body and wrap my hands around his neck while burying my face in the nook of his neck. I sniff his neck severally, enjoying his signature mild woody cologne which I have come to love. I only do that when I am excited and Ayo, knowing that little fact, smiles to himself.

“Tell me babe, what’s the good news?” He enunciates each word, bringing me to face him as we lie side-by-side. I throw him an excited look before moving closer and resting my head on his chest.

“I got the CHEVRON scholarship,” I mumble with a vapid tone like it is no big deal. “They just sent me an email,” I add.

Ayo’s eyes twinkle in excitement, his lips spreading into a wide grin “Are you serious?” I shrug, a smile warming my lips as I raise my head to look at him. “Oh my God! Congratulations baby, I’m so proud of you.”

Heat floods my cheek as I sandwich my hearty lips between my canines shyly, looking anywhere but his face. He lets out a throaty laugh, his fingers locating my underarms and begins to tickle me.

“Babe! Jesus! Babe please stop naw,” I beg and burst into a fit of giggles, trying to move my body away from him but I am caged in between his knees. He has me yelping when his fingers move down to my sides and the pressure on them increases. He smiles in satisfaction. That was my star ticklish spot.

“Beg me.”

“Please…,” I mutter amidst laughter but he makes no attempt to stop. “Please, I’m begging you.”

He stops for a moment and I use the opportunity to wrap my hands around his wrists to stay his movement. Our eyes meet and the room grows quiet, my rasp breath filling the room as we continue staring at each other. Ayo’s gaze wander to my hearty lips, his brown orbits turning a shade darker. His head dips and his lips meet mine in a slow, soft kiss.

I lean into the kiss, moving my fingers to the back of his head. I gasp when he bites the soft sensitive flesh of my lower lip, sucking on it with a tenderness that has me squirming in pleasure. I am forced to come out of my moment of ecstasy when Ayo’s hand squeezes my right breast.

I wasn’t ready for that yet.

He gropes it again and my hands fly to his to stop him from doing it again.

“What? You don’t like it?” He whispers breathlessly, the desire in his eyes apparent.

I gulp, he might get upset if I utter the words that are stuck in my throat.

When I don’t say anything, he uses his free hand to squeeze my left breast. I squeeze my eyelids shut, my heart threatening to burst out of its precordium.

“Ayo, you…you know I’m not ready for this. I thought we’ve talked about this,” my lips trembling as I speak.

He rubs the back of his neck in frustration, speaking with a strain in his voice, “Ella, I am your boyfriend for heaven’s sake! Do you enjoy seeing me sexually frustrated?” He takes deep breaths to calm himself down, “Ella, I love you. What else do you want me to do to prove it, ehh?”

“Babe, I know. You don’t need to prove anything. It’s just, I want to be a virgin until I get married.”

He gropes my breast again, not-so-tenderly this time around, “You’ll enjoy it. I promise.” I feel his erection against my abdomen.

My eyes grow teary, I try to pull his hands away but he gropes my breast painfully in resistance. I wince at the contact, pool of tears accumulating in my eyes, “Ayo, please don’t do this. You can’t do this to me.”

He places a finger on my mouth to shush me, his eyes laced with lust “Don’t worry baby, I’ll go easy. You’ll enjoy it, trust me.” He tugs on the maxi top I am putting on, trying to pull it over my head. To his annoyance, I struggle to keep the piece of clothing on my body.

“Ella, stop resisting me!” He growls in annoyance, still attempting to get rid of the clothing that was in his way but I hold on tightly to it. In one swift motion, he rips the top into two at the center, bringing my flawless naked body into view. The singular piece of clothing left is my signature Minnie mouse cotton panties.

“Ayo, please stop. Please, I’m begging you in the name of God,” my trembling voice comes out in whispers. Ayo simply stares at my voluminous breasts like a sumptuous meal placed before him, and his lips and hands get to them even before I can utter another word.

I look into space with tears running down my cheeks as my boyfriend of over two years takes the one thing I value so much away from me.

My virginity.

I try screaming, even my voice betrays me. He utterly ignores my pain and keeps doing sinful things to my body. By and large, he lets me go after he releases his warm seed inside me. I remain motionless, staring at my defiled body with disgust and hatred. I cry out my heart as I come face to face with reality.

I am no longer a virgin!

That's it for the first chapter!!!
It's my first try writing in the present tense.
I hope it isn't so bad???

Thank you guyss for the love 💕
