Unfulfilled Promises By Audrey Timms Part 1
Episode 21
“Now that you know your parents are aware of her visit, don’t do what you guys normally do in her house.” Boma advised in a teasing manner.
“We don’t do anything in her house. What are you insinuating?” he asked buttoning his shirt.
“A handsome guy like you, a beautiful girl like her, tell me something else.”
“For crying out loud Boma, I’m just sixteen and she is just fifteen!” he protested.
“And Jesus died at the age of thirty three.” she put in as a matter of fact.
Eric just stared at her. “What has that got to do with the issue at hand?”
“Yeah well…” She shrugged. “Okay, maybe it doesn’t relate with what was just said. What I’m trying to say is that no one is too young to taste the forbidden fuit. Joleen, my elder sister lost her virginity at the age of twelve…ooops! Pretend you didn’t hear that.” she put a hand to her mouth.
Eric burst into laughter and walked to the door smiling brightly.
“Come on, handsome. Promise me you won’t tell anyone. Let this be our little secret.”
“Lets see,” Eric pretented to think with a finger underneath his chin. “Little secret number thirty four? How much?” He held out his hand, grinning.
“Cash or kind?” she questioned, rolling her eyes at him.
“Both.” Eric smiled mischievously.
“Alright, spoil sport. I’ll think of something.”
“You better do. ‘Cause we don’t want Joleen to know we know her little secret, right?” he remarked sweetly, still smiling mischievously and opened the door.
He walked slowly to the lounge. He knew his parents would be in the living room. He still didn’t believe Oleng had come to his house. He was indeed surprised to see her there. She quickly got up when she saw him. Eric had to appreciate Oleng’s mum once again. She knew how to buy good things for her daughter.
Oleng was looking drop dead gorgeous as usual in a beautiful top and hip hugging jeans, which brought out her hour glass figure. She wore black ballerinas on her feet and he knew it was some kind of jewellery other than gold and diamond that adorned her neck, ears and wrist. God! Oleng was beautiful.
She walked shyly towards him while he just stood in the middle of the room and put his hands in his pockets with an air of indifference. She stopped before him and stared at the thick rug. She t####t out a beautiful hand-made card to him.
“I had this made specially for you. I should have given it to you earlier but…i’m sorry I wasn’t there when you were through with your exams….i just couldn’t handle everything then…I…” She was still staring at the rug. She smiled a little. “Zinny told me more than half of the girls in the school hugged you. I don’t blame them though. If I had been there, it wouldn’t have happened…I…won’t you at least take the card from me?” she queried when she looked up at him and he didn’t take it or say anything.
He waited for a full minute before he slowly removed his hand from his pocket and took the card.
“Thanks.” he quietly said.
“I’m sorry.” she apologised and stared at the rug again. When he still didn’t reply, she pleaded in almost a whisper, “Please say something.”
“What do you want me to say, Oleng?” he began impatiently. “You hurt me a lot today. For the first time since our friendship began, I was really angry with you. A very special day in my life and my best friend was nowhere to be found. I was surrounded by strangers and few friends but the most important person in my life was not there when I needed her just because she was too sentimental to hang around.” he said each word bitingly.
Tears slowly dropped from her eyes. She didn’t know what to say. At the time of her departure, escape had been the uppermost thing in her mind. She hadn’t thought about his feelings. It was when she had gone home and thought of everything before she realized the folly of her actions. It had been too late to go back and Eric had kept rejecting her calls which made her more miserable. She had known she had to see him. She knew she would be in trouble if she got home to meet her mum. She would receive a heavy scolding but she didn’t care. She just wanted to make things right with her best friend.

Episode 22
“I’m very sorry, Ricky.” she sniffed. “I didn’t think before I left. I just wanted to escape. All I saw was my future without you. It was when I got home that I realized how you would feel and when I tried calling you, you kept rejecting my calls. I really felt like dying because I knew I hurt you. All I can say is please forgive me. I’m sorry. Please.” she conceded ruefully.
Eric couldn’t bear her to see her cry. He stepped closer to her and hugged her, forgetting his cousin’s warning.
“It’s okay. I forgive you. I wanted you to know how much you hurt me today. It’s okay, sunshine. I’ve already forgiven you. Don’t abandon me like that again, okay?” he informed her, looking down at her with smiling eyes.
She wanted to remind him that he wouldn’t be around for her to do it to him again but thought against it. Better to let sleeping dogs lie.
“I promise.” she declared smiling, still in his arms.
“Handsome!” Boma exclaimed from the door way. “What did I tell you?” She looked scandalized.
Oleng quickly struggled to leave his arms as she wiped her tears way. Eric let her go but held her hand.
“Come on, Boma. It was just a harmless hug.” he assured his cousin, smiling mischievously.
“Yeah right! And Jesus died at…”
“The age of thirty three. Yeah, I know.”
“Naughty boy!” she admonished, grinning brightly.
Oleng couldn’t help smiling. She wished Boma were in Tessy’s place. She wouldn’t have been lonely. Boma was fun to be with.
“What are you doing here anyway?” Eric inquired.
“Just checking on you. You’re lucky your parents went out to get suya.”
“And they made you my body guard or should I say Oleng’s chaperone before they left?” he enquired smiling.
“Self appointed.” Boma put a hand to her chest and saluted as if she was a soldier reporting for duty.
They all laughed. Oleng informed them that she had to get going. Boma told her goodbye and wrestled the beautiful card out of Eric’s hand before they left. She read the inscriptions on the congratulatory card and shook her head.
Fifteen and sixteen indeed! They were clearly infatuated with each other. She wouldn’t call it love because she felt they were too young to know the real thing. She at twenty didn’t even know the real thing. She would really love for them to end up together in future though. They looked perfect for each other. Eric, tall, fair and handsome while Oleng, petite, chocolate skinned and beautiful. She read the inscriptions on the card again and shook her head again.
##############################
Oleng and Eric spent everyday together after his exams. Time was running out for them and each day felt like their last. Eric had just days left to spend in Nigeria. He didn’t feel like going to the graduation party organized by his classmates that Saturday but felt he needed to because that would be the last time he would see his classmates in a long time if not the last time since he wouldn’t be around to attend the one organized by the school. They had all contributed individually for the party.
He asked Oleng to be his date. She obliged, if her mum wasn’t around. Luckily for them her mum traveled to Dubai and as usual, Tessy told her that she had to travel to see her parents. Oleng couldn’t care less. She was happy to go with Eric. She asked Zinny and Marvy what they would put on because some months ago, her mother got her a beautiful Dior gown. The three of them went shopping.
When she opened the door in answer to Eric’s knocks that Saturday afternoon, she took his breath away. She was looking heavenly beautiful on a simple but elegant mono strap black dress that showed a lot of skin and accentuated her small b#####s and ended at her ankles. High heeled sandals by Jimmy Choo made her look tall and gold necklace, earrings and bracelet adorned her neck, ears and wrists respectively. He noticed she wore make up for the first time since he had known her which made her even more beautiful. She smiled shyly at him.

Episode 23
“Do I know you?” he questioned, smiling in a dazed manner.
She laughed. “I’m supposed to be the one asking you that. You look good.” she complimented, sizing him up in his tuxedo. He looked like a young model.
“You look better. Gosh! Sunshine, you are gorgeous.”
She smiled shyly again. ”You’re not looking bad yourself.”
He laughed joyously. “Are you ready?”
“Yes. Let me get my clutch.”
He waited outside while she did that. He kept thinking of how good she looked. When she came out and locked the door, he took her hand, kissed it and they walked to the car outside the gate where the driver was waiting for them. The gate man bade them goodbye.
Eric’s parents were equally not at home. They had traveled to Lagos the previous day for a relative’s wedding. Eric had informed them about the party and had taken permission for their driver to take them to the venue even though it was in an exclusive hotel at the end of the estate since they had refused him driving until he was eighteen. His mother had refused at first. She didn’t want her son to be exposed to alcohol, hard drugs and s#x which was the order of the day at such parties. It had been his dad who had convinced her to let him go, vouching for Eric that he wouldn’t engage in such and for her to also remember that it would be like prom night for them.
Eric had also reminded his parents that this would be the last time he would see his school mates. His mother had eventually agreed, however she warned him to come back home early and stay out of trouble. He had been told to abandon the party at the slightest sign of trouble. He doubted there would be trouble because his classmates were mature in that area and attendance was strictly by invitation.
When they got to the grey Audi A6 car, he opened the door for her and closed it before going to open his own. The driver drove at a sedate pace. Oleng couldn’t say a word because she was so nervous. This was her very first party and she didn’t know what to expect. Eric clasped her hand in his and smiled at her when he noticed her nervous countenance.
The party was already in full swing when they got to the venue. It had been slated for 12pm but they had decided to go there late knowing the party wouldn’t begin then because of African time. They got there some minutes after 4pm. Eric showed his invitation card to the bouncer at the door of the big club where the party was being held. Tuxedoes or blazers were the dress code for the guys while evening gown for the girls.
All eyes were on them as they entered the club holding hands. Eddy and Dave walked up to them with their dates, Zinny and Marvy respectively.
“Do I know any of you?” Eric questioned when they had finished shaking hands and hugging. They laughed. “You’re all looking good.” he commented.
“You’re not looking bad yourself. Oleng, better watch him all evening because you see those girls who are already eating him up with their eyes, they’ll try to make sure you don’t leave here with him.” Zinny teased.
“You’re talking of Eric, what about Oleng? I’m ready to have a duel with Eric to get her off his hands and into mine.” Eddy jibed with lustful glances at her.
“Just name the time and place.” Eric informed him calmly and they all laughed.
“You girls should never wear those uniforms again. You’re all looking good. I never knew you’re all so beautiful.” Dave complimented also and the girls shyly smiled.
They all stayed together and talked. Food and drinks flowed but Eric refused to take anything. He didn’t feel like it. Oleng took a can of malt. They sat together and watched as people danced. It was a joyous occasion. Eric excused himself and came back, drinking from a canned beer.
“Eric!” Oleng exclaimed. “You’re drinking beer!”
“So?” He shrugged nonchalantly as he sat down beside her.
“You told me you wouldn’t drink beer until you are twenty one.”
“Really?” He shrugged again carelessly.
“Ricky, are you drinking beer because your mates are drinking? Because you want to belong and don’t want to be called a weakling?”
“Nope.” he quietly countered.
“Why Ricky? Why?”
He gulped down the last drop of beer and dropped the empty can on the floor before he turned to look at her.
“I’ve been with these people for the past six years. We’ve been together since JSS1. We’ve seen each other five times a week for the past six years except during hols and suddenly, I’ll never see them again. They can go on seeing each other but I, Eric will never see them again. Some might be for just the four years I’d be away while others might be for the rest of my life. I had to take that beer to block that fact out of my head since alcohol dulls one’s senses because the whole thing was getting to me.”
Oleng was dumb founded. Not minding the people looking at them, she hugged him.
Episode 24
“It’s okay. I understand. Just try to be happy. Today is your day.” she encouraged him smiling.
He smiled back at her and told her he would be right back. He came back with two cans of beer, opened one and gave it to her.
“Ricky, you know I’ve never tasted beer before.” she protested.
“Well, there is always a first time.” He opened his own and took a gulp. He prompted her to sip from hers. She did and made a face. He laughed. He told her to try again and she made a face again as if she was taking a bitter pill. He laughed again.
“It’s sweet at first but later on, it becomes bitter.” she remarked and he laughed. He urged her to continue sipping. She tried again but gave it to him. He finished his and drank hers also. He later went to get them a pack of Don Simeon alcoholic drink. It was so sweet, they drank it all.
Then they took to the dance floor. They danced so much that people left the dance floor for both of them. No one knew they were both tipsy. Later on, they exchanged partners. Girls tried to smooch with Eric but failed. He was tipsy not foolish, he thought to himself. When he saw Uche and Eddy trying to do the same with Oleng at different intervals, he yanked her off their arms.
The party got heated. Boys and girls could be seen smooching. Oleng was appalled to see Zinny and Eddy kissing. Dave and Marvy were holding hands and talking. Eric finally decided it was time for them to go home at about 9pm after his mum had called to check up on him. They bade goodbye to all of them with Oge and her friends still sending daggers with their eyes at her because Eric had hardly spared them a glance.
Though Eric was tipsy, he managed to call the driver to take them to Oleng’s house. He dismissed the driver telling him he would walk home instead. He had paid the driver to cover up for him incase his mother called him to ask about Eric’s whereabouts because he had already told his mother on their way there that he was already on his bed about to go to sleep.
He needed to pee badly because he hadn’t wanted to use the rest room at the hotel. Oleng had barely opened the door before he rushed to her room and went straight to the toilet. She dropped her bag, his coat and tie he had taken off before they entered the car home and went to the door of the toilet to wait for him because she needed to pee too. He came out and they both laughed as she rushed in. He stared at his huge portrait on her wall and smiled. That was how Oleng met him, standing in the middle of her room, grinning like an idiot.
“You still have it.” he stated as a matter of fact.
“Sure. Don’t you have mine?”
“I do.” he replied and went to sit on the bed.
They had both gone to the photo studio though it was quite far from their residence. They had snapped a lot of pictures together before going to an artist’s shop to have a huge portrait of each other painted, so they would never forget each other and look at it everyday.
His mum had protested when she had first seen it in his room but he had pleaded profusely with her to let him keep it. Oleng didn’t have such problem because her mother never came to her room. Oleng went to sit beside him on the bed and they discussed the party. Oleng told him how shocked she was to see Eddy and Zinny kissing. Eric laughed.
“Eddy has always had a thing for Zinny but had been afraid she would laugh in his face if he told her.”
“But Eddy is a womanizer.”
“Yes, but he’s crazy about her and I think she has a soft spot for him too else she would never have allowed him to kiss her.”
“Well, she didn’t tell me anything like that. Imagine Eddy really liking a girl. It’s hard to believe when all he wants to do is get down with them” Oleng laughed.
“Yeah, I know it’s hard to believe but he’s crazy about her.” he insisted then added quietly, “Like how I’m crazy about you.”
Oleng’s eyes widened. Eric didn’t know if it was the alcohol that loosened his tongue but he felt like barring his mind to her. He took her hands in his.
“I don’t know how or when but I’ve fallen hopelessly in love with you. I’ve been hiding it for quite a while because I didn’t want it to spoil our friendship but now that I am leaving, I can’t hide it anymore. Oleng, I love you.”
When the shock wore off, Oleng found herself smiling. “Oh Eric! We’ve been playing games. I have asked myself continuously what this strange feeling I have for you is. I know that the way I feel about you now is not the same way I felt when our friendship began. You’ve finally given it a name. I love you too.” she declared, smiling brightly.
Eric was so happy he didn’t know when he kissed her.
They were both surprised and ended the kiss. She looked away but he continued staring at her. They were like that for a while before he gently held her chin and turned her to face him. They slowly came closer. They kissed again. The kiss was slow and passionate. Soon they were in each other’s arms kissing passionately.
Oleng felt as if her lungs would burst out of her body. She was feeling tingling sensations all over her body. Eric drew her closer and began unzipping her s#xy dress. She sat rigid for a moment and broke the kiss. Eric paused also to look at her with lust ridden eyes.
“What are we doing?” she whispered, her voice heavy with desire.
“I don’t know but I don’t want to stop.” he huskily told her as he made to unzip her again.more at my9jarocks.info

Episode 25
“Me neither.” she acknowledged him and started unbuttoning his shirt.
They slowly stripped each other off their remaining clothing with no thought of what they were doing as the alcohol they had consumed and their love for each other dulled their senses. No one had informed Eric the ecstasy he would feel at his first orgasm. Oleng couldn’t comprehend the intense joy she felt at becoming a woman. They slept in each other’s arms.
##############################
Eric woke up the following morning with a headache. He turned on the bed and stared at the sleeping Oleng. She was beautiful even in sleep. He remembered what happened the night before and smiled. He sat up and groaned as he waited for the world to become still again.
He removed the sheets to get up but was surprised to see bl0*d on him and on the bed. He wondered why until he remembered a book he had read about it and Eddy bragging about how he got down with one of their classmates in one of the abandoned classrooms and she had been a virgin. It was a thing of a conquest to him to have deflowered her but Eric didn’t feel that way. He felt a strong emotion towards her. She had given him this priceless gift. He had given her a priceless gift too because she was his first also. He knew they would never forget each other no matter what.
He carefully got up and went to the bathroom to clean up a bit before getting dressed. He checked his phone and saw no missed call from his mother. He smiled knowing Boma had covered up for him too. He gave Oleng a peck on the head and covered her up properly before tip toeing out of the room in order not to wake her up. He knew she would die of embarrassment if she woke up to meet him there.
He prayed she wouldn’t regret their night together. Though unplanned, it had been the best night in his life. He hadn’t intended kissing her not to talk of making love to her but he hadn’t been able to stop himself what with the alcohol and his declaration of love.
He got outside and had to wake up the gateman to open the gate because it was around 6am. The latter was surprised to see him. He didn’t say anything though. When he was about to leave the compound, he stopped and brought out some naira notes from his wallet and gave it to the smiling gateman who bade him goodbye and a safe journey home. The gateman shook his head as he closed the gate.
“Which one concern me? Since her mama no send am, anything wey happen to the girl go be her fault. Dis oyibo no know say e no need to bribe me make I no talk. Afterall, nobody dey ask me question.” he said to himself, sighed and went to the small house by the gate to resume his sleep.
Oleng woke up with a headache also. She tried getting up but groaned at the pain she felt between her thighs. She slowly sat up. She looked at the bl0*d stains on her thighs and the bed and wondered why until memories of the previous night flooded her. Was she supposed to bleed?
Then she remembered a romance novel she had read a while back of how the heroine of the book had bled also when she was deflowered. Oleng had to admit that she didn’t know much about s#x or womanhood or puberty apart from what she read in books. The time a seminar was organized in the school to talk about everything to do with females, she had been very sick so she had been unable to attend for the whole week the seminar was held.
When she had gone back to school and asked her friends, they had told her flippantly but not in details. They had told her the things Eric’s mum had already told her when she came to talk to her about menstruation.
If someone had told her that she and Eric would go as far as making love, she wouldn’t have believed the person. She didn’t regret it though. She felt she would die of embarrassment if she saw Eric again. Just then her phone started ringing. She knew he was the one. She kept thinking of what she would say until the phone stopped ringing. He called twice before she decided to answer.
“Good morning, my love.” he pronounced cheerfully, making her lose her breath for some seconds.
“Hi.” she replied in a small voice.
“How you doing?”
“I’m fine.”
There was silence.
“Any regrets?” he questioned holding his breath.
Silence greeted him for a few minutes before she responded with calm, “Certainly not.”
He heaved a sigh of relief. “Thank you very much for that. When you didn’t answer my call at first, I was scared you had started regretting what happened between us and didn’t want to talk to me.”
“I was shy. I didn’t know what to say to you.”
“I thought you hated me.”
“I can’t and will never hate you.”
“Same here…sunshine?”
“Yes?”
“It wasn’t just alcohol talking last night. I really do love you. I love you very much.”
She smiled. “I love you too.”
He laughed joyfully, then sobered up.
“Are you alright? I mean, did I hurt you?” he demanded with tenderness.
“No, I’m just a bit sore. A warm bath will take care of it.”
“I’m sorry.”
“What are you apologizing for? Are you regretting what happened?”
“No. I’m sorry I hurt you. As for regretting, not in a million years because if given the opportunity, I’d do it again.” he spelt out bluntly and took her breath away again.She didn’t know what to say because she would do it again also.
