The Last Kiss 2

....After much debate, she finally let me in, she then explained why she had denied knowing who I was based on strict instructions from her sister, who knew that I'd one day wake up and say I'm going in search of her, i shook my head, consoled myself that I'm only searching for her because she's now a widow. I asked the sister about Tonia's whereabouts but she was unwilling to give out information until i shocked her with the information that Payne was a married with two kids adding to the fact that he is now dead. That's when she began spilling beans, she informed me, that in all honesty it was her sister who contacted her, and in over a year she has not heard anything from Tonia, she was aware of the fact that Payne was a doctor and her sister claimed they travelled often for humanitarian acts, so they won’t have a permanent residential address and a steady phone line.

'What about your parents?' I asked,

She replied,

'I thought Tonia told you all about them'

'Nope'.

She informed me about how their father had fled when they were young because Tonia's mum went mentally ill, i put up a sober face, requested for the address of the psychiatry hospital. She then pleaded that if i do go get in touch with Tonia i should inform her.    

After leaving Tonia's sister's house i did not see the need to visit the hospital, Tonia'mother could not possibly have anything tangible or useful to me. I called up my friends who had been helping to know if they had any update for me, but they had nothing for now, even though Enil sounded like had something cooking but nothing of note, they suggested we go to a bar and grab a few bottles, i told them I'm not supposed to be drinking since I'm on medication, but I'd be there. We got to the bar, Erat came along with a student from the university where he lectures her name was Keik, she was a final year student, rounding up on her project, after initial refusal, i found myself on the 3,4,5th bottle.

Tonia was in my arms, kissing me passionately, her boobs laid bare on my chest, ever so soft and sizeable but this time they felt bigger, I could not help myself but grab and squeeze on them, she began to slowly kiss me from my neck, down to be abdominal region, as I lay my back on the bed, slowly she unzipped my pants with her teeth, put her hands inside my pant and brought out my wiener, placing it slowly on the edge of her lips, I shivered, cause the touch was enough to give a grown man chills, she sucked slowly but steadily, I knew the distance between heaven and earth had been shortened, I was suddenly in heaven.

Head banging, everywhere seemed dark, I could not seem to get my eye lids to part ways, one thing I’m sure of is the fact that I’m lying down on a bed, but whose bed? Was I dreaming or was I with Tonia for real? Had she suddenly come out of hiding just to be with me for one night? Finally my eyes could open and the bright light of the sun was the first thing that came rushing in,

 HUH??

I knew the moment I looked around that I wasn’t in my apartment.

‘Where am I?’

‘How did I get here?’

 I noticed I had no clothes on, saw my shirts and pants on a couch nearby, while putting on my pants with urgency, I heard footsteps approaching the room, I saw an above average height lady standing at about 5’10, with a nice curve at the hip, slim waist, thick thighs, her mammary glands made my jaw drop, still trying to put together the image that had walked in, my thoughts were interrupted

‘Glad you are awake’

She continued by saying,

‘You need to shower, you passed out last night’

I was about to ask who she was, then it all made sense, she was the student Erat came to the bar with Keik,

‘I'm sorry’,

Those were the first words to come out of my mouth

‘For what?’ she asked as she sat on the couch.

‘I don’t know what I’m doing here, and whatever happened i….’

‘shhhh…’

With her finger to my lips, she continued by saying,

‘I hope we get to finish what we started one day’

‘I need to leave, right now’, shyly I said.

‘I’ve some painkillers’, she insisted that I take the painkillers before I leave, I conceded. The only thing at the back of my head was getting out of there as soon as i can, i just wanted to get home and clear my head, i got dressed up and did the walk of shame, from her hostel to the campus gate, with students looking at me, like I had a ‘JUST HAD SEX’ stamp on my forehead.

Shocked, puzzled, what more could i use to describe how i felt? What next? I'm not done with the search for Tonia now this. I did not bother to collect keik’s contact, I don’t need it, whatever happened was a rookie mistake by me, but somewhere inside of me i wanted to see her again, those words ‘I hope we get to finish what we started one day’ kept on repeating itself in my head over a few times, snapped out of it real quick, this was asides the fact that i was pissed with Erat for not taking me home instead.

Enil called me up,

'Dude you got yourself in a mess'. Those were his very words.

My mind immediately went to keik, like in a nollywood movie could she be pregnant already?, was she underage? Is she in trouble with her school? A thousand questions ran through my mind.

He continued by saying,

'You need to leave town, but before then i need to see you'.

Goose bumps all over my skin, what could be so serious that now requires me to also go into hidding?. I began regretting every sip of the alcohol.

We met up at a secured location, i was about to say the word,

'Ke….'

He cut me short by saying,

‘Tonia…. Mob’

That’s all i picked. I asked that he repeats himself, he said its a long tale and a puzzle but if we sat down and put the pieces together, we would figure it out soon enough, then he asked if i had my bags packed and had a destination in mind, i lied, but in truth i wanted to know what's going on, before i jump on the next bus to nowhere.... to be continued Tweet to @Ned_Cruz
