Love, Lust And Lost - Season 1 Episode 60

There came the next morning after a very long busy yesterday. The weather was a bit chilly `this’ morning as it had rained some few hours in the midnight. The trees were starting to stretch back to their usual length after they had given in to the wind which made them bowed to the lords of the wet season.

The grasses were still wet and their colours had transformed from the dull and dried green to a bright green. They blossomed and glorified themselves waiting for the early morning sun which was more rich in nutrient – essential for photosynthesis to take place.

It was still early, about 6:38am yet the morning hadn’t really brighten up, – may be because it was not yet awake or it had drank too much of darkness (as if it were a drink) to forget it was supposed to have risen very early. However, there were cars and buses already plying the road. Their full-lights were in unison with the streetlights. A car had broken down at the service lane and the owner was confused.

He was dressed in suit and his black shoes were stained at both tips. Since he didn’t know what step he would take, he began sweating profusely – even in the cold weather. He removed his jacket and threw it to the back seat from outside the car.

Not so long as the 6ft man whose white shirt and black tie were now revealing had gone to the boot/trunk to pick spanner, plier and other equipment needed to check the car out, – was when a Jeep sped pass and splash!! It bathed the man with rain waters that were still lingering on the bridge.

“You are a st^pid man! See what you’ve done.” The man checked himself out. Bull, his white shirt was stained.

He shouted but the Jeep didn’t wait,it kept to its pace. That was double `wahala’ for the office man.

A bus stopped later at the school gate and 3 people disembarked, one of them was Adefemi. He had never arrived so early to school before and only him knew his mission.

The least he had come early to school was 7:03am in the Junior school when he was amongst the acting prefects. He was well rewarded anyway – as he was given the post of punctuality prefect. Now, he was here very early, surely on a mission.

Immediately he had descended the stairs that was mouthed to the bridge, he wore his school-bag to his back and entered the gate.

There were no prefects yet, so virtually there was nothing to do and it meant he could evade doing nothing this morning, so long he could maintain his solitude in his classroom till the assembly bell `explodes.’

As he got in front of the staircase, he saw Miss Yemisi just descending the last staircase.

“Good morning ma,” he greeted and walked off, passing the front of the staffroom which was still empty but florescent lit the room and it looked really classy.

“Morning dear,” she replied Adefemi who was already some distance away from her “how was your night?” But go no reply.

She enetered the staffroom to drop her bag. It seemed she also arrived not so long ago and had gone upstairs to sign-in. Soon as she had dropped her bag, she used her hands to loose her weave-on, to redress it using her fingers.

Then they fell down across her shoulder and her chest. she looked another classification of beauty, the white top and blue-black skirt she wore were so well ironed, – may be to impress someone, only she knew.

She hadn’t make up but she ran lipstick across her lips. She walked out of the staffroom and headed towards the SS1 Art class, which was Adefemi’s class.

When she got into the class, her shoes weren’t sounding on the floor so he didn’t notice she had come inside and was at his back.

He mused and talked into space as if he were practising insanity or already a scholarship holder in science of insanity. She stared at his cheek which was turning up and down to show he was smiling and saying something. She cleared her throat and he looked back to see her standing, – he was startled.

“Oh! Never knew you were at my back,”. He smiled slightly, may be it was meant to stop her from asking why he had been talking to himself.

“What have you been thinking about?” She asked, her teeth flashing white as ever. She was so beautiful and her black skin glimmered.

“Nothing you know, I was just trying to get my head settled. Let’s say some revisions.”

He lied, whereas what he had been talking to himself about was on the message he received the previous day from the number he doesn’t (didn’t) have on his phone.

“Oh! I see!!” She exclaimed and since the class was empty, she thought may be it would be right to sit with him but decided against it.

What if another teacher saw her sitting with him? A male student for that matter!

Although, they might not think it on the level it was playing on her mind but she doubted. They might read it on the second level, she thought.

“Are you busy?” She questioned. She rested her butt0ckz against a desk close to him.

“Not really. I just decided to come early today cause I woke up early,” He lied once again, smiled sheepishly and continued “I didn’t want to sit at home till the usual time I often come to school. Moreover, I came so I could catch some rest here before classes begin for the day.”

“Hmmmmmmmmm! So you mean you can’t accompany me to the field? Think I need to get something down this place,” Miss Yemisi pointed to her stomach.

“Ok then, let’s go!” He stood up from the chair and proceeded to place his bag on the desk, removing the money he had kept in the bag’s smaller compartment.

She walked in front while he followed her – as they were drawing close to the footpath divided by shrubs, she waited for him so they could walk together on same lane, almost hand in hand.

She wanted to start a discussion but suspended doing so yet he broke the silence.

“So why didn’t you cook from home and bring along?”
