Follow the cue *a short story*
A loud laughter sounded in the room, everywhere was messy with little stumps of cigaretter everywhere, the room smelt of marijuana and alcohol. And some dirty things took place at every corner of the room.
Kate quickly closed her eyes when she saw the huge guy pumping in and out of her room mate. She couldnt bear this anymore.
BENITA: Join us Kate.
Kate looked at her with disgust and flinched at what she saw. Benita lay on her bed with her legs widely spread and pumping about three fingers in and out of her feminity while the other hand toyed with her ni.pples.
KATE: This is nonsense! Will you guys stop this right now?
LINDA: What nonsense? You mean we should stop grooving?
Kate eyed her in disgust. Lind laughed as she picked a pack of cigarette and a lighter.
Kate never expected Linda to be like this. When she entered the university newly, she and Linda had been very close. Always going to lectures together and attending fellowships, going out for evangelisms together.
To cut the long story short, Linda was a very holy girl. Always wearing long skirts that stopped at her ankle and long sleeved tops. There were at times Kate even mocked her, calling her Maryamaka and Linda would always say 'we are priceless assets so we need to cover our treasures. Have you ever been walking on the streets and saw a diamond lying carelessly on the floor? If you want a diamond, then you have to search for it'
Kate had never been that churchous but Linda had turned her into an ardent christian, Linda had instilled in her good virtues that she would never forget.
It pained her that Linda had turned this way. Infact it was a surprise to her. She couldnt place how and why Linda became this rotten. But she could remember that it was when Benita joined them in their room that Linda started deviating from her christian virtue but still, she never expected her to be this way.
KATE: Linda, God will never be happy with you. This isnt the kind of life you should be living.
Linda laughed 'i hear you madam, thanks for reminding me but i've heard that so many times from countless. Follow the cue Katie, everyone is doing so. Time waits for no one, if you dont enjoy yourself now, when will you? When you get married or when?'
KATE: Linda, whatever happens to diamonds never come easy.
LINDA: Oh they are very easy now my dear! Let me show you something.
Linda stood up,went to her drawer and brought out a small case and handed it to her.
Kate opened it and behold, she saw a beautiful diamond necklace, the most beautiful thing she had ever seen.
LINDA: Thats a diamond. My sugar daddy gave it to me yesterday. You see my dear, diamond comes easy nowadays. Just a blowjob and i got this.
The guy who was with one of her room mates suddenly came to where Linda stood and slapped her ass hard, Linda moaned and relaxed her back on the guy's chest.
And soon they were kissing.
Kate swallowed hard not knowing what to do. She looked at the necklace in front of her again and swallowed in greed.
LINDA: You want that dont you Katie?
KATE: Huh? No, i mean yes.
LINDA: Good! You could get that and even more if you do the things we do. I have a job for you. Screw one alhaji tonight and you'll get a million bucks, deal?
KATE: A million bucks?
LINDA: Yes.
Kate closed her eyes and swallowed hard. She really needed the money. She just lost her dad and two of her younger ones just entered school and her mum was nothing but a petty trader. She needed to buy some handouts, change her wardrobe and assist her mother as the first child.
LINDA: Dont be different from us Katie, do what everyone is doing, so you can match with them. Gone are the days when men want to marry virgins, they want experienced ladies infact.
Kate shut her eyes tighter. This wasnt the life she thought for herself. She thought of her father, her mother, her siblings, then she thought of God and said a silent prayer in her heart and suddenly she felt lighter and encouraged.
Then she opened her eyes with a small smile on her face and handed the jewelry back to Linda.
'i want to be different. Because what makes you different makes you special'
*****THE END*****
