Campus Flicks - Players



He sat on the carpet and she, on top of him, her legs wrapped around his midriff. It was a quiet evening, the open window let light and breeze into the little room. They spoke almost in a whisper even though they were alone. Occasionally Anu would burst out laughing.
‘I can’t believe you would really do that to him’ Tayo said ‘you’re now a bad girl o’
She giggles ‘I’m not a bad girl, he just needed to have a piece of my mind’
‘and you gave it to him, right there and then. Not bothering that he was a cultist?’
‘So what? He can’t do anything to me’
‘Don’t worry, if he tries anything just come and call me’ they laugh
‘you? Ok. I’d go about finding trouble then. You just wait’ she pokes his chest ‘I’ve not still met any guy that can take care of me the way I want’
‘really? have you checked all the guys?’ she realizes that his hands have found a way under her blouse.
They are both silent for a while; he, looking for a way to get her closer and she staring into his eyes. She remembers she has always seen a glitter in them and some desire in the way he stared at her when they crossed each other on campus and now she could see it in the dim light.
They kiss. His fingers find their way higher into her blouse. She tries to stop the travelling hand but her desire to belong to him won’t let her. She pulls his closer wishing they could collapse into one body. He manages to unhook her bra when they hear a clanging and the gate swinging open and close.
They spring apart as footsteps gather at the front door. She throws herself onto a chair far away from him and he hustles up to the couch behind him. They are both silent as Mayowa opens the door.
‘Surprise!’ Anu blurts out as soon as Mayowa steps in.
‘Why did you put off the light?’ Mayowa raises a hand and flicks the light switch.
‘Oh, we didn’t even know there was light’
‘What’s the surprise?’ She asks before looking around to see Tayo there, grinning.
She screams, jumps on him  before he can get up
‘Oh my… when did you get back? Why didn’t you call me?’
‘I wanted to surprise you’ He says, his smile getting even wider.
She kisses him. Anu looks away, pretending to reply a chat on her phone while watching them from the corner of her eyes. She wondered if Tayo kissed his girlfriend the same way he kissed her. She was glad to see his hands didn’t go under her clothes. The kiss begins to irritate her, she clears her throat and the lovebirds spring apart, sniggering and staring at each other.
‘Wait for me’ she says ‘let me go and change and be right back with you’ she begins to leave
‘Rommie, I hope you gave him something’ Mayowa asks
‘she did’ He says, staring at Anu ‘she did’ he says again referring to the sweaty malt can that sat on the floor.

Change your life today| 30 Behaviors That Will Make You Unstoppable

I was going through my Medium feed the other day and I came across this powerful post. Please take your time to read this. 30 Behaviors That Will Make You Unstoppable A lot of people are good at what they do. Some are even elite. A  select few  are completely unstoppable. Those who are unstoppable are in their own world. They don’t compete with anyone but themselves. You never know what they will do — only that you will be forced to respond. Even though they don’t compete with you, they make you compete with them. Are you unstoppable?  By the end of this blog you will be. Let’s get started: 1. Don’t think — know and act. “Don’t think. You already know what you have to do, and you know how to do it. What’s stopping you?” —  Tim Grover Rather than analyzing and thinking, act. Attuned to your senses, and with complete trust in yourself, do what you instinctively  feel  you should. As Oprah has said,  “Every right decision I have ever made...

Death On Medical Road

LIFE IS SHORT DEATH IS SURE HELL IS REAL TURN TO JESUS The sign at the back of a bus on Lagos - Abeokuta express way. I stared at it and the words were dancing in my head - LIFE IS SHORT, DEATH IS SURE. There was not always much to look at in the taut traffic that often plagued this part of Lagos. Vehicle moved bumper to bumper, the yellow danfo buses poked in and out of moving lanes trying to get to one end of the road to drop off passengers who were stopping at 'alon' (the way conductors said it), One disgruntled driver yelled at the other for being stupid, the other yelled back that he was mad. I wondered how people expected Nigerian roads to be safe when there were Idiots and mad men behind the wheels. If you weren't at the wheels of a vehicle, you would be likely to dose off in the traffic. I would sometimes look out the window and see passengers asleep with their mouth open, make up and all, because they woke extra early that Monday morning and on every other ...

Your Reputation Precedes You

It wasn’t the way he carried himself that gave him his reputation. He did not appear, as people would say, as the ‘type’. He had this dull brightness that fluttered around him; he was sluggish and overly unimpressive. In fact all that was attractive about him was his face and his naturally muscular body. The rumor that went around the department was ‘he fucks  good!’ While the ladies were the ones involved (for he was not gay) it was the guys that were most concerned. For some of them, it began to seem that they could no longer satisfy their girlfriends and that the girls needed some sort of higher power to work on them. However it was difficult to confirm his notoriety because it would be unconventional and quite childish to walk up to a mature guy and ask him straight up ‘did you fuck my girlfriend? She seems distant when I’m doing her’ and the girls would advertise how cheap they were if they asked him if he could do them. Hence, it was the intrepid ones that could request for...
