..."What does the generator have to do with our marital bedroom duties? Nnemmo, don't leave me stranded now, Biko." He said, sounding stranded indeed.
"This your big grammar will not save you. Papilo, I don't have strength; I used all my strength to fan myself and your daughter, who almost died of heat. Now you want me to use the last 1% I have, that should carry me through the night to die under you. Rara! (never!)" I said with so much energy as I returned to my lying position.
"Nnemmo, there's no petrol in the generator, what's there will last for about 30 minutes" he said, his voice filled with options.
"Papilo? How many minutes you won use do 'just small'? You see this your game? E don cut (this plan of yours, has failed). It's either you on Gen, or you forget about it." I ended, praying within me, that he puts on the generator.

It's going to be Madddd..... Ohhh..🥳
"Obanma if you keep vibrating like a car engine, neither of us would get good sleep. I can feel the bed shaking from way over there" He gestured at the edge of the bed where lay he before.
Her mouth couldn't form any words in her own defense.
"I've been battling with pneumonia I would have left the bed for you. Those tiles might just worsen my case. Besides there's enough space to fit two more people on this bed." She only nodded still staring at him and recoiling inwardly at the proximity between them.
Adaugo had once told her that being on the same bed with a man could make her pregnant. Oh Biology her saviour!
" I am not that kind of man, I offered you a place to rest for the night and that you shall get. Sleeping with your Jean trousers on, one foot in and foot out of the bed, huddling at the edge which is quite close to the door, wouldn't really save you if I wanted something else. I am a man, I am stronger and faster. So please relax, stop shaking and go to sleep. I have a very busy schedule tomorrow and just like you, I can't sleep unless my surrounding is suitable for sleeping "
How did he know all that? Was he a mind reader too?
She nodded again then slowly relaxed on the bed, still very much awake. Sleeping was not really what one did in enemy camp.
He smiled, gently rolling over to his side to really have a look at her. She was truly very beautiful and innocent. He knew deep down that she could escape if she wanted to, he was no superman and she would definitely elude him.
His hands itched to caress and hold her, that feeling was not alien, he had always felt protective of the girl. Onyedikachi simply turned to the other side of the bed with a smile on his face and very familiar words in his heart as exhaustion drove him to sleep.
Smart girl!
