Eka’s story - Season 1 - Episode 36

From Dr. Gerry’s living room, a loud sound blared. A visitor would have thought a little gig was going down in there. Eka and Simbi were in the living room dancing to songs playing from the television set on the wall. About thirty minutes earlier they had finished with cooking and cleaning the house. Eka had expected Dr. Gerry to rush back home like he said he would, but perhaps he had taken heed to Eka’s threat of beating him up if he returned home before she was done cooking, and so held up his return. With nothing much to do, the girls took to dancing, trying out the dance steps which they learnt long time ago. Their friendly rivalry was at its peak, Eka was trying her best not to be out done by Simbi who seemed to be a better dancer. They were so serious with the dance that one would have thought a judge was somewhere apportioning marks to them. Then the door to the flat jangled, Dr. Gerry walked in wondering if his apartment had been turned into a ball room.

At the sight of him, Eka who had a taut look on her face, brightened up, taking just a few steps toward him, she threw herself at him like the cat woman. Dr. Gerry had to grab her firmly mid-air. The careless abandon with which she threw herself at Dr. Gerry spoke volumes about the sort of faith she had in him – he would never let her down.

Giggling animatedly and resting in Dr. Gerry’s hand, she planted a kiss on his lips and let her lips stick on his for a while. When she broke from the kiss, she whispered to him, “Please don’t set me down; carry me as long as you can!” Dr. Gerry had his eyes locked with hers as though he had not seen her in a million years. His heart buoyed over with joy and his face glowed.

Right in the middle of the living room, Simbi paid no attention to them as she focused on her dancing. Dr. Gerry looked at her for a moment and said to Eka, “Simbi can dance. Has she got a dance competition to attend?” On hearing that Eka leapt out of his hands and announced, “I will make Simbi look like child’s play right now,” and began to dance. Simbi turned and seeing Eka had re-entered the dance competition, she changed her gear. “What is going on here?! This is a serious dance challenge!” asked Dr. Gerry. Removing one thousand Naira note from his wallet, Dr. Gerry announced, “Whoever wins the dance gets one thousand Naira airtime!” As if being controlled by a button, Eka and Simbi stopped dancing simultaneously and looked at each other.

It was their way of sizing each other up in preparation to have a go at the prize at stake. Switching to new dance steps, Eka and Simbi began to show how good they could really be on the dance floor. Dr. Gerry had to take a sit and watched the two girls serve him one of the best impromptu dance competitions he had seen in a while.

At some point while the girls danced, Dr. Gerry’s thoughts strayed from the dance.


The way Eka moved made his heart miss a few beats and he began to ponder how fortunate he was to find a homely, good-mannered, drop-dead beautiful lass like her. He had been an admirer of beautiful girls and had hoped he would someday snag one to spend the rest of his life with. However in his wildest dreams, he could not imagine finding one as beautiful and lovely as Eka. He was jolted out of his thoughts when the girls stopped dancing and asked him who won the dance. He really didn’t care who won or not, his thought were more about what he had won himself. He stood up, walked straight to Simbi and handed her the one thousand Naira note. Simbi celebrated it by showing off a few more dance steps. Eka protested that Simbi did not win the challenge and called for a rematch. Dr. Gerry was not interested, all he wanted was to be alone with Eka and pour out his heart to her. While Eka still protested his judgment, he took her by the hand and pulled her to himself and kissed her in a way he had not done before. Both Eka and Simbi were surprised so much that Simbi echoed, “Wow! That is a hot kiss! You two cannot spoil me in this house,” and ran into Eka’s room. From there she shouted, “Eka! When you are done let me know!”

Simbi’s response to the way Dr. Gerry kissed Eka was so comical that they broke from the kiss and began to laugh. Dropping her face into Dr. Gerry’s face, Eka asked in a hushed tone, “What came over you? I have not seen you kiss me that way. Am I still safe with you?” “I just found out that you are far more beautiful than I thought. Please make sure you don’t dance again while I am around.

The way you moved could have given me cardiac arrest. Your figure can make a brother sin, be warned.” As if to shut him up, Eka began to kiss him again, making sure she gave as much as she took a moment earlier. Simbi came out of the room and found them still kissing, she covered her eyes and made a sound, “Hehehe!” Eka broke off the kiss and said to her, “I thought you said when we are done I should let you know. Why did you come out before my call?” “I remembered I am your guardian angel,” replied Simbi. Eka understood her meaning and grudgingly she pulled herself away from Dr. Gerry. Short of ideas about what to do with the longing in her heart, she went into the kitchen with no idea what she went in there to do.

She opened the fridge, took a bottle of water and gulped it down. After drinking it, she stared curiously at the bottle in her hand and whispered to herself, “This water tastes like Dr. Gerry’s lips.” From the kitchen, she shouted, “Baby! Did you refill the water bottles in the fridge with a mix of your saliva and water? The water tastes just like you!”

Dr. Gerry who was in his room by this time admonishing himself to slow things a bit with Eka, broke into laughter. He came out of his room and he asked, “How on earth can one do such a thing? I did not.” Simbi who was sitting in the living room shot at Eka, “Big head! The water tastes like his lips because you just finished kissing him.” “Is that it?” “No it is not.

So you actually think he put his saliva in the water or are you trying to lure him to the kitchen for another round of kiss?” Eka giggled and fired her own words at Simbi, “Flat head, your mind is really bent. Imagine where your thoughts have gone to. I was not trying to lure him over here for another kiss.” Simbi stood up and ran to the kitchen while Dr. Gerry laughed at their banter and returned to his room. At the kitchen Simbi pointed her finger like an old grandma at Eka and said, “Three rounds of long kisses are enough for the day! You are not going to have another one. I have taken charge! In fact you won’t have any more kisses till we leave for our street.” “What! That is harsh Simbi! Can’t I just kiss him a few more times before we leave?” “You are asking for trouble Eka.

Did you have a look at his eyes when you were kissing each other?” “No.” “You didn’t because you were far too gone to have noticed that he is having a harder time resisting you now than he did earlier. You have got to zip up those your kissy-kissy lips if you don’t want trouble.” “Yes madam!”

Dr. Gerry took a longer time than expected to come out of his room. He was feeling a little sorry for himself. He felt he was beginning to lose some control, and things with Eka were no longer going as planned. He thought hard about what to do. The only plausible thought which crossed his mind was for them to give each other a little space. However the problem with that was he wasn’t sure he could go for long without seeing Eka. It was the right thing to do but his flesh did not want it. He felt sad and wished they had not shared that first kiss in the kitchen. Since that day, they had become less careful about getting too physical. When Dr. Gerry came out of his room, even though he tried to hide it, he cut a forlorn look. Eka and Simbi were in the living room chatting happily about the models they saw on the television. One look at Dr. Gerry Eka deciphered that something was not right with him. She went over to him and put her hands around his neck and brought her face closer to his. Dr. Gerry feared that Eka was going for another kiss; he wanted to move away his face but was concerned that it would hurt her, so he left his face in her way. Eka did not kiss him, but gently asked, “What is it baby, you look unhappy.” “I think we need to talk,” replied Dr. Gerry. His words made Eka’s heart sink into her stomach. Her eyes widened in shock and she sunk herself into the dining chair next to her. Dr. Gerry read the look on her face quickly and said to her, “Oh no! I don’t want you to think that something is wrong. Why do you look like you just saw a ghost?”

“You just said to me ‘we need to talk’. When people say that there is trouble; what have I done?” “You have done nothing wrong, and there is no trouble per se.” Looking into her face Dr. Gerry took her hands, sq££zed them romantically and continued, “Baby, don’t you think we are getting too physical these days? I am afraid that if we don’t watch it, I might begin to put pressure on you for sex. I am scared of doing that and I don’t want to do it. I want us to have a happy story to tell in the end.” “Is that why you look unhappy?” “Yes it is.” “It is what you wanted us to talk about?” “Yes my darling.” “Oh thank God! You had me scared…well, I think you are very much right. I have thought about that too and the truth is if you put pressure on me for sex right now, I am not sure I will be able to say no.” “So what do we do?” “I want to move over to my parents’ apartment. I think a little distance might help.

I will be coming to visit you during weekends and…” “Only weekends!” “No, I can come also during the week, or you can come over to see me. I will be able to manage my clients from there. I have thought it through.” “Speaking of your clients, Mary’s mother was here. She collected Mary’s clothes which you made for her and dropped of new cloths; I think they are for herself.” “Did she give you my balance?” “Yes, it is in my room.” Dr. Gerry tried to stand up to go get the money but Eka held him down. “I want you to save the money for me. You can open an account where we will put all the money I make from my business.

I have some money now. I took the lion share of the money NK gave to my parents. I don’t want to add the money from my business to it.” “But you can open an account where you can save the money from your business and manage it yourself.” “I want you to do it baby and you don’t have a choice. Do you?” “No I don’t mam.” “Good boy.”
