Tragic Obsession

Felix boarded the bus travelling to Lagos. He had to get away from that village. The village that had brought him so much fame and pleasure and then love, which was also the cause of the pain he was passing through.

If anyone had told him that Gift would act the way she had, he would not have believed them at all but as it was, she did break his heart and for whom?

An older man who was not as handsome and as popular as he was and who may not be as virile but had a little more money than Felix did.

He didn't want to think about it but the thoughts kept running through his head.

He remembered that he was the most sought after young man in the village and that girls and women would do anything to get his attention. He had taken all that for granted until he met her and now he was moving away from that godforsaken place. It had become intolerable because of her.

He could not bear to remain there and keep seeing her with another man. It was tearing him to pieces. He knew it might look like he was a coward running away from facing the truth,but he had faced the hard truth of her betrayal and now he had to heal his broken heart. And the way to do that was a change of environment.

The young handsome man who was tall for his age and had great charisma and was admired by all was now left shattered by the girl he had made the mistake of falling in love with. But it had been so sweet while it lasted and he had thought that it would last forever.

A lot of ladies and young girls who were older than him found him attractive and irresistible.

He had been so popular. Those in the same school with him made him their school son while they called themselves, his school mother.

That was all before the heartbreak he had to suffer.

He didn't know the meaning of love but knew very well what desire and passion was. He had been taught by the most experienced of the ladies afterall.

When he fell in love eventually, it was like a whole new experience.

The girl in question was all he could ask for, he made her his queen but it was that same queen who later betrayed him and broke his heart to a million tiny pieces.

As the bus kept moving farther and farther away from the source of his heart break, he thought of what would become of him.

Was he ever going to find love again? No! The question was actually, was he ever going to believe in love ever again or allow himself to love again?

It was an explosive No!.

He would never put his life nor his heart on the line anymore.

'Love is overrated!' he said to himself.

He had been doing quite well with his ladies.

Yes it was true that he was known as a play boy and his women most times called him a bad boy expecially after their exploits in bed but that had never deterred him. Instead, he had thought of that as a compliment.

That was the life to live. Either he goes back to being a playboy or he would just live a life of a hermit because he did not want to get his heart broken again.

It was growing late. He felt wetness on his cheek and wiped them with his hands and that was when he knew that he had actually been crying.

'She is not worth it, damn it. She is not worth my tears ', he scolded himself but the tears increased as he saw her face in his head and the lips he had kissed so tenderly and how her body had moved under his and the feeling of euphoria he had always got whenever he stayed with her.

'It's all over now. Get a grip on yourself. At this rate,you might just find yourself going back to beg her to come back to you'.

He considered that and spat out.

'That will be over my dead body. She will come begging me because no one will ever love her like I did. But by then, it will be too late because I won't be caught dead in the same pit twice. Once beaten, twice shy.

He wiped his eyes this time and it was the final time as the bus got to his bus stop. He alighted, took his luggage and walked into the might in search of his elder brother's house. That was where he was supposed to stay till he got his own apartment.

What he did not know was that that trip was going to change the course of his life forever.

There were alot of surprises awaiting him and he would find that he was powerless to fight the forces of love.

Gift could not believe her luck in acquiring this man Sam as she fondly called him.

He was more mature than either Felix or her. But he took very good care of her.

He bought her almost everything she needed without question.

Felix was never that generous. Admittedly, Felix had been a student and she had not felt the need to acquire so much material possessions as she was now. She had been blinded by love.

'Gift darling could you join me here please?', Sam implored.

'Alright dear but you have to be quick because I need to get going before my parents miss me'. She answered.

She climbed the bed where Sam had been waiting for her.

He jumped on her Pulled her roughly to him and started kissing her. His kiss was almost as though he wanted to eat her up.

She had that effect on him. He couldn't seem to get enough of her.

He pulled her cloths off and quickly unstrapped her bra. Her firm delicious breasts fell into his hands as he started rubbing his thumbs on both of them simultaneously. He could resist it no further as he felt drawn to the breast and he pulled one into his mouth and sucked as though his life depended on it. He was already breathing heavily as he pulled the other into his mouth too. He felt like drowning in the fountain that was her breasts.

His pleasure was mounting in at a pace he could not control. With his hands, he parted her legs and sat astride her. He parted her pubic hair with his fingers and dipping his head, pulled her into his mouth, sucking her juice and all.

Gift herself knew that she had to stop him because she could feel her climax approaching. She groaned with pleasure and tried to pull his head away from her but he resisted and she could hold back no longer as she dug her fingers into his shoulder as she shuddered with her release.

Sam went back to her breast and continued with his sucking and the sucking sounds turned Gift on so much that she became excited again and that was when Sam who could no longer endure this sweet torture, drove himself into her. what exquisite pleasure. He could have this for the rest of his life and never get tired. They started climbing and climbing. Higher and higher and higher. His thrusts got more erratic. He felt like he would fly off his body and before he could stop himself, he ejaculated with an animal groan of pleasure.

Gift who was a bit slow climbing with him this time, felt him spout his juice into her and the sound of his pleasure, his twisted face as he ejaculated and the feel of his juice pumping into her, sent her over the edge and she had her second orgasm.

Gift waited until their breathing calmed before getting up to put her clothing back on. As she got up he kissed her nipples and gave her a wet kiss.

Gift smiled and squeezed his flaccid penis and it told at attention.

He felt that he would do a quick one but Gift declined. It was already too late.

Samuel Amadi was a trader who deals in drugs. He had admired and desired Gift from a distance. The girl had a rare beauty and she always carried herself with grace and poise.

He could not just walk up to her and confess his feelings due to a lot of things.

The first was that she would have rejected him outrightly. She had been known to do that and worse to men who had wanted to have a taste of her or those who were interested in having an affair with her like he had ; just because of that little boyfriend of hers called Felix.

He had been determined to make her his and had decided a means of doing that. No need to ask if it paid off since he was already reaping the dividend of the success of his plot.

Now he would want no other person to have her. And he was never going to give her cause to go back to Felix or allow any man play a fast one on him like he did Felix. Because now, after just five months of being together, he doesn't just want to have an affair with her but he wanted to marry her and make her his permanently.

Gift had finished tidying herself up and stood to go.

She felt sated. She had always loved sex and Sam seem to be giving her an overdose of it. Not that she was complaining.

She recalled how it had been with Felix but it seemed like an old bad memory now.

She had heard that he had left for another state. That was good. She did not want anyone troubling her or making her have a prick of the conscience. And why should she? She was the owner of her own life and can decide to live it any how she deemed fit!

So, goodbye Felix, she thought. Good riddance!

Felix while looking for a job, kept house for his elder brother. He would get things from the shop or the market, cook for his brother especially when Peter's girlfriend was not around. On one such ocassion, he went into a supermarket to get some groceries and stopped short. An angel was selling at the supermart. She was a very young girl, possibly fifteen or sixteen. Very fair in complexion, plump with the right curves. Though not too tall, just of average height. Mesmerising eyes that promised unimaginable sensual pleasure. Her sex appeal was breathtaking.

Felix took one look at her and fell flat. She was an innocent. She was not even aware of the effect she had on men because being experienced, Felix knew very few men could resist this rare combination of innocence and sentuality. He waited till the buyers thinned out then got the items he needed and went to her to cost it and give him the bill. When he was sure he had her to himself,'I am Felix, and I am sure your name is Beauty' Good day sir, the name is Mercy but thanks for the compliment. This is your bill.' Felix quickly paid to get that hurdle out of the way. Mercy herself found herself staring. She could not help herself. The man was really very handsome and charming. He reminded her of someone but it couldn't be. That person had looked a bit older. It was an older version of the person facing her but not quite as handsome as this young nan. She was fascinated but she quickly hid her feelings behind an expressionless face. ' Mercy, I wish to ask a favour of you'. 'And what may that be?' ' I want you to have mercy on me.' 'For what are you asking my mercy?' 'she asked. 'For your time'. He said. They both laughed and the atmosphere lightened up. They got to talking as though they had known each other for a long time. Mercy considered this with a smile she was always a business minded, no nonsense person but she had stared at this man as though her life depended on it and had even got into a discussion with him not wanting shoppers to disturb their discussion. She who would want to sell as much as she possibly could was wishes sales would halt a little so she could spend more time with this Felix guy. What has come over me for goodness sake and he has not even made his intentions clear. 'Must he have an intention to talk to you? She asked herself 'They all do she reasoned but I hope that he is not takimg the ease with which I started talking to him as a sign that I am a loose girl and have already accepted him even before he asked'.

'You know you have not said anything to me ' she said 'Yes we have been surrounded by shoppers and had not had the time and I felt I should say what I had in mind in a more private setting'. I am not taking you for granted but right now , time has really flown and I need to get these things home and get something ready for my elder brother he will soon be back'.

Felix told her that he would be back and speak to her in greater detail concerning what he had in mind. When he got home, he quickly prepared the things so his elder brother could have something to eat, then he made the apartment presentable after serving his brother when Peter got back, he went out under the pretense of taking a stroll. He had not been able to take his heart and mind of Mercy since he met and spoke to her today. What a girl. And she was not pretentious like some girls were. He remembered how she boldly reminded him of the fact that he had not made his intentions known to her. He also recalled how he had told himself mentally the fist instance that he laid eyes on Mercy that he had got to his last bus stop of searching for the one. Because he had found the woman of his dreams. He wondered how he knew that she was the only one for him . He could not say for sure but he just got a gut feeling about it and he was not about to reason it but just to grab this second chance fate was giving him at love. Felix went back to the store to keep his promise to Mercy and himself. 'Hi, Beauty'

'Hello handsome', and they both burst out laughing. The reason for the laughter was not known to either of them but they both were happy that they had met again. Mercy had been so afraid that he would not come back and she won't have the chance at beholding his arresting face and aura again but thank goodness her fears had been unfounded. The happiness at seeing each other again was such that it was shining through their faces. Felix himself had been impatient for his brother to come back home so he could come and see this wonder heaven had thrown his way. After chatting for some time with pauses in their discussions as Mercy attended the shoppers, Felix came straight to the point. 'Mercy, from the first instant I met you, I knew that I had arrived home. I just felt fulfilled and hence I want to make you mine'.'

'By yours you mean?',she asked

''I want you to be my lover.'. Felix clarified.

Mercy was shocked. In all the time men and boys alike had made passes at her,none had been forthright enough to ask her to be their lover. It had been to be their pet, their girlfriend or any such thing but the guts with which this young man had blurted out the word 'lover' shocked and excited her. She was dumbfounded but she reasoned that she asked for it when she asked him to make his intentions known to her.

'Why are you so silent? You have not said anything', but Before she could respond, a customer came and she had to attend her. When she was through with that she said,' I will have to think about it before I can give you my answer'.'What time do you need and what do you want to think about?' Felix quarried' You either want me or you don't. In which case your answer can either be yes or no. Tell me your answer now. I want to know my fate'. Mercy was even more speeches and though she already had her answer before he even asked, she did not want to appear to eager but this altimatum rather than make her feel insulted, actually pleased her and she decided to make her own destiny and so replied.'Yes let us be friends, we will see how it goes from there'
