Blue Moon

She met him at a conference
He was smart, handsome and fresh
He was in his NYSC uniform
He wore it with an "I don't care" air
He impressed her with his knowledge
of the internet and social media
She walked up to him after the conference
There were quite many people
around him
Collecting his number and asking him
questions
He impressed quite a lot of people
She asked him if he could help her
build a website
He said he could
She asked for his account no
He gave her
She transferred attention money
to him
The kind of money that could build
ten websites
He got the alert and left the crowd
immediately 
She had walked slowly away while
doing the transaction
He told her the money was too much
she shrugged
She was really feeling heady that
afternoon
Her father was a rich man
He had many wives and children
She has been placed on a particular 
amount of money as an allowance for life
Money is never going to be her problem
She wanted to build a website for her NGO
And she needed his full attention
He gave it to her
She told him she would call him
to discuss the details later
She got into her car and drove off
She was engaged to be married 
Her husband was one of the sons
of her Father's best friend
He was an engineer, a civil engineer 
He worked with a firm that engages in
federal contracts
He was on-site somewhere in the north
at that moment 
He was her "Secured future"
Her "Engaged to marry"
She waited for three days before calling
the website guy
She asked him where he was
He told her he was at home 
It was around 10 AM
She asked him for his address
He sent it
She drove to his house
His apartment was impressive
He told her he had a flatmate who was 
working with a Chinese auto firm
The gadgets in the flat belonged to the
flatmate
All he had was his room
They talked
He had a lot of website demos 
He wanted her to see them and pick the
one she wanted
She told him she wanted to rest her
head
The drive from Adeniyi Jones to Ketu
was tedious for her
She told him she would like to lie
down for a while
He showed her to his room
When she got on the bed she asked him to
bring the laptop
they could work while she was lying
down to save some time
He set up the laptop
But he had to stay around to explain 
the demos on the laptop
He lied down beside her
It was a wicked combination
She saw what it did to him
She touched him playfully to relax
He held her hand
The mood changed
She allowed the breeze to carry her
along with the flow
The breeze removed their clothes
The breeze parted the sea
She rode his broom like a witch
They were there all-day
Playing and teasing and doing all sorts
She left his house at 7 pm
He followed her right to the expressway
before alighting from her car
She called him three days later
They did the dance again
This time he came to meet her 
as soon as she was parking downstairs
He led her by hand into his room
And they got at it like hungry
dogs devouring a bone
He started caring
Calling her, sending messages
He was loving up
She was flattered
It gave her something other than
waiting and waiting in a vacuum
She was engaged and she understood
that her man had to work
But she is a woman and the body
wants what the body wants!
Her man returned from the North
the following weekend
She went to see him
He wanted to have sex
She was shocked to discover
that she didn't feel like sleeping with
him
Her body just protested against his touch
She told him she couldn't
He took offense
He had been away for three months
What had she been doing behind his
back?
She told him she was faithful
It was just her mood
She was not in the mood for sex
He insisted on having sex with her
She got angry and left
The next day, he called off the 
relationship
He even called her mother to
inform her of his decision
Her mother spoke with her
She also spoke to herself 
He was her "husband"
Her mother had prayed about it
The prophets said he was the one
This other guy was jobless
He wouldn't be ready for marriage in
two to five years
This one was already making plans
to get married to her that year
She preached to herself and drove
to his house
She fell on her knees and begged him
Her mother also called him
He forgave her and they had sex
She had to give him her body
It was hell or her!
She had friends who slept with many
partners without a second thought
For her, it was hell!
She felt dirty, unclean and abused
afterward
When she went into his bathroom to
shower, she started crying
He heard
He went to her bag and took her phone
He searched through until she found
the most frequent number on her dialed
call log
He wrote it down 
Later that day he accused her of cheating
on him
She denied it
He read out the phone number and told her
he would call the number in her presence
and asked her who owned the number
She told him the guy building her website
He said she must convince him the person was
not her lover
He made the call with her phone
The call was picked
She asked questions about the website
praying he wouldn't say anything personal
He answered all her questions and rang off
She knew he was angry
Since her man returned she had avoided his call
and given him no explanation
So he also kept the conversation to business
Her boyfriend was convinced
It was a narrow escape
She told herself the dangerous game must stop
She would never sleep with her crush again
She stopped calling him
one month, three months, six months
She started preparing for her wedding
The introduction had been done
She traveled to Dubai to buy somethings
She met her crush's roommate in Dubai
He shared an elevator with her
They got talking about Nigeria
He told her where his apartment was located
in Lagos and she said "Do you know
so and so"
He said "Yes" and then said "He would be
getting married in three weeks time"
WOW!
Married!
She was beside herself
How could he be getting married
Why would he be getting married
How come he was ready that soon?
When she got back to Nigeria, she called
his phone
Are you at home? She asked him
He said Yes!
Are you alone? She asked him
He said "Yes"
She took a cab straight to his house
When she saw him, she felt like clawing
out his eyes
He stood in front of his gate
He didn't even make the effort to walk 
up to her like before
She asked him if he was getting married
He said yes!
She swallowed the bile
She told him she wanted her website
or a refund
He said she had to give him some time
to finish the website
She said she wanted it that day
He invited her upstairs
She calmed down
They got to his sitting room
She hugged him, she kissed him
He kissed her back
He took off her clothes, even her bra
And then he stopped
He recoiled and shook his head
He pulled away and left her there
half-naked and panting
She wanted him back
He said NO!
She didn't believe it
He rejected her! He didn't want her
A man she traveled down from Dubai
to spend the day with?
She begged him
She told him she was heading for an
unhappy marriage
All she wanted was a night with him
to hold on to
He told her he doesn't cheat 
He had a woman he promised to marry
He would stick with only that woman
She did worse for him
Didn't she swallow her disgust to sleep
with her fiance after sleeping with him?
And he had the guts to cast her away!
She left his house in anger
She went straight to the police station
She reported him
He collected money from her without
her job and also didn't refund her money!
The police swung into action and arrested
him
The next day, his girlfriend called her
His girlfriend wanted her to withdraw the 
case
His girlfriend was ready to refund her 
money
She refused!
She wanted him to suffer
Somehow his girlfriend got her man's
phone number
His girlfriend told her man the full story
Her man said "He had suspected all along
but had no evidence"
Her man called off the wedding
The police released her crush after
24 hours
Her crush transferred the money to her
bank account afterward
Her crush got married as he planned
Her man got married a year later
She met many men but most of them
are either married or unwilling to settle
down
She became a born again Christian
Hoping to land a good brother
But brothers are scarce!


PS: The event happened in 2009
She had been in and out of many 
relationships
She has fasted and prayed
Her mother's prophets told her she had
dated her husband as a boyfriend
They told her the chances of her getting
married is very slim
She says she regrets ever having met
her crush
It was that meeting that ruined everything!


PS: Flee from the lust of the flesh! Flee now
