Palm lines 2 - Episode 33

 

Ade's POV

"We spoke" I explained to Sharon who was behind me as i sat on the bed. She wrapped her arms around my neck. "And for a moment I just thought, what if God can just grant him a second chance at life. A second chance to make things right?" I cried and she kissed me on the neck.
"Not everyone gets second chances at life. Maybe it was his time to go" she answered and I cried. 
"Ade I don't have any words of encouragement to give you but I've lost people too in my life and i know how you feel especially when you didn't get to spend time with them when you should have" she answered and I knew she was definitely talking about her grandma.
"Grandma?" I asked and she nodded.
"I still feel like her ghost is still angry at me" I answered and he chuckled. 
"What's important is that you spent time with him . What if you didn't?" "I would have hated myself"
"My point exactly. You've made him more than happy, I'm pretty sure heaven's gate is more than opened to receive him and the best part  being that..." She paused and I wondered what.
"You took a freaking selfie with him" she answered and I laughed.
"A selfie you'll live forever to remember and cherish. Ade all we just have to work together, forget the past and look towards our future together" she kissed me on the cheek then I kissed her on the lips. 

Erika's POV

"I feel bad for Ayo" I leaned against David's chest and he gave a nod

. "Same here dear" "I mean first it was the gun shot, now it's his step father."
"He's a strong man, he'll get past it"
"Yeah. I hope" 
"Sharon isn't home"
"Yeah, she won't be coming home for a while and we have to get used to it" he answered and I laughed. 
"I heard they're planning on having kids too" he added and I opened my mouth in shock.
 "Are you sure?"
"Yes. One of this days, if Ayo shoots his shot well, our daughter will get pregnant and we'll have grandchildren everywhere" he answered and I laughed. 
"You know what I think? We've been through enough already. Why don't we throw ourselves some in door family party?" He asked and I shrugged.
"You do know that in door parties for us are usually big because we have a large family?" 
"Yeah."
"I better start sending invites" I sat up putting calls through to Kechi. "Conference call!" I announced.

We sent all invites to friends and family and on the D-DAY, Tammy walked up to me. "Tammy you know we have a lot to do, this one that you're carrying your face like this. Are you sick again? We just treated you of malaria"
"It's not malaria"
"Then what? I think I have two minutes to listen"
"I know I said I wasn't going to write jamb again but ....I want to enroll in jamb class towards next year's jamb. I know I have a block head and I've been failing but I really want to give this a try and I'm sure I'll make it"
"You were sure the last time"
"The last time I was I'm mature and I really didn't know what I wanted for my life. I was nothing but a freaking talkative and I want to change and I want to have priority in life, I want grow up and have a life like Uncle David, Uncle Lawrence, Aunty Tuni, Aunty Sharon, even though I still don't know what she's doing in Nigeria oh."
"You didn't add my name to the list"
"Sorry, like you too" she added and I smiled. 
"Uncle Ayo is right, you don't just get it, you earn it and I want to earn it. 
"That's sweet. Getting you from your mom was the best thing I ever did. What course?"
"Mass communication" she answered and I laughed.
The door bell rang and I hugged her quickly. 
"I'll go get the door" she walked away and I called her back, "Ma?" She answered and I smiled. 
"I'm proud of the woman you're becoming" I answered and she smiled.
The party went well, everyone invited was present and it worked in making everyone go past the bad events that bad been happening of recents.
I was shocked when Mummy Wemmy showed up for the party. She rose up topic about Tasha and the news about Sharon and Ade's kidnap.
"The way the whole neighborhood was just buzzing about it shea you said she was a family member. Abi is that not what you said" she asked and I sighed, "Would you stop this pretense!" I snapped and she scoffed. 
"What did I do?"
"How long are you going to keep up with this act? You're y a friend and you'll never be, I don't even know who invited you in the first place"
"Calm down, I'm not fighting with you" 
"You've always been fighting with us Mummy Wemmy! You've never liked me right from the kiss video you sent to Cynthia that year to your endless gossips. You think I'm not aware? Fine we've had one minute glitch, don't all families? I mean you've had yours. I know you guys left the estate because you couldn't afford to pay but you won't put your pride down and I'm quite aware that you're no longer with your husband because he left you for someone else. You think I don't know Wemmy isn't in the university of Illinois as you supposed, I know she's in the university of Ilorin here in Nigeria. You don't see me rubbing all these on your fave do you? Why do you pleasure in seeing people unhappy? We've gone through storms but we'll make it stronger so it's either you leave my house or you try to be happy for me" I snapped and Ade called for everyone's attention.
"I wanted to do this in everyone's presence" he brought out a ring kneeling in front of the shot house and I watched Sharon cover her mouth in shock. 
"Right from the first day I met you, I fell in love with you and even though I was just 17, I knew you were meant to be the woman I'll spend my life with. Will you Marry me Savage?" He asked and she cried nodding her head.
"Say yes jare!" Tuni complained, "She's nodding like agama lizard" she added ant Sharon laughed stretching palm at Tuni. 
"Love you too!" She yelled and Sharon sighed. 
"Of course I will Ade" she agreed and he rose up wearing her the ring and he sought for permission to kiss Sharon.
"You've given her a ring already, what do you need permission for?" Lawrence answered and I laughed. 
Then he went ahead to kiss her, David walked close and I leaned on him. I looked sideways and I noticed Mummy Wemmy had left already.

Tuni's POV

Ayo came into the family officially and soon started making plans for our wedding and I just couldn't wait for the main day, not just because I wanted to be Mrs Festus but rather because I wanted to have s*x with him. 
I know as a Pastor's wife to be, I shouldn't reason that way but I've had crazy thoughts and I've prayed for God to deliver me from them. 
Hey! It's a learning process, I'm  not supposed to be pro Pastor over night. 
***
"So... About the three months cooking training you were talking about the other day" I tickled Ade one morning after I decided to stop by and he groaned.
"What's wrong with this one? As If i don't know you and Sharon are doing it already" I snapped and he shut his eyes.
"Who gave that prophesy about you being a pastor's wife again?" He asked and I laughed. 
"I'm serious! I need to be able to cook something good when my husband comes back from work"
"You can always cook indomie" Sharon teased walking in with a plate full of Golden morn and milk. 
"My case and your case is the same"
"Don't even compare" Ade snapped and Sharon kissed him on the cheek. "That's why I love you"
"Sharon's case is not as worst as yours" he added and i laughed. 
"Ouch. I'm a chef on my own" Sharon answered and I raised my nose. "Babe everyone's a chef, people don't just like eating our food that's why I'm here to ask your future husband to help me out here"
"When do you want to take these classes?" 
"Anytime as long as it doesn't clashes with my movie schedule" I answered and he smiled. 
"How are you going to cope with the movie stuff and pastorship"
"As long as I'm not taking s*xual roles and I'm looking forward to directing good movies something gospel like and award winning stories"
"Wow....Who would have thought Tuni would get married before me? I've always thought you'll be 36 when you finally decide to settle down" he confessed taking a spoon out of Sharon's Golden morn.
"Let me get off this bed and leave you two alone. I better wash my hands too, there's semen everywhere" I snapped and they both laughed. 
Then I hugged them for no reason in particular. 
"In case we don't find time for ourselves again while we're trying to figure out this how this marriage thing works cause there's obviously no past question anywhere for it. Just know that I love you guys and" I paused as my hands pushed off the plate and it landed on the floor.
"Sharon did that" I pointed out and they both laughed then I rushed out of the room then I walked back in. 
"Can we promise to still make time for ourselves? At least" I added and Sharon smiled. 
"Sure"

Sister Grace walked up to me with a smile on her face after service and I wondered why she was so happy.
"This one that you're glowing like this" I teased and she laughed.
"I went for a pregnancy test, the result came out positive yesterday. I'm pregnant"
She announced and I immediately hugged her. 
"I'm so happy for you Ma'am"
"Thanks to you"
"Why?"
"That day we prayed together. I know it'll sound strange but I felt it that night after my husband and I...." She stalled and I instantly understood what she meant.
"Thank you"
"Let's thank God. He's the one that does miracle not me" "You're a blessing Sister Tuni" she held my hands and I smiled.
Ayo walked in between and she smiled pointing at me. "Your wife is a woman of God!" She commented and he laughed.
"Praise God for that!" He waved then she walked away.
"I have no idea what she was talking about." "We prayed together and now she's pregnant" 
"Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands." He quoted a scripture and I creased my brow in thought,  "Acts 13:4?" I guessed and he shook his head.
"Acts 14:3, close" he answered and I laughed. "Okay, so where's your destination?" I asked and he looked back at his father's office"
"Okay go. I'll wait, if i can't wait, I'll find somewhere else to go"

As we count down days to our wedding, we got to know each other better, our likes and dislikes.
 "Do you like blow jobs?" I asked Ayo and he shut his eyes in shame. I guess he was worried because we were having lunch in public.
"Seriously Tuni!" He exclaimed.
"I'm not trying to reduce your anointing. I don't want us having problems, sexual problems, two minutes, five minutes cause I'm a late comer and I know I love you. I'm forwarding my worries to you and I want us to handle it as couples" I confessed and he sighed, "Okay...." He paused, he was obviously feeling uncomfortable. 
"Pass!" I yelled, "What?"
"Pass on that question. You don't have to answer it" 
"It's nothing that I don't want to answer it, I just... I'm just feeling uncomfortable. Do you liked it?" He asked and I nodded.
"Kind of but if you don't..."
"Marriage is about compromise and I promise you you won't regret making the choice you have with me" 
"So you're not a two minute guy?" I asked, "How do you manage to keep a straight face while saying all these?" He asked and I laughed. 
"I'm sorry. I'm really nervous because I have a PhD in this course and I'm scared that you might suck. I swear I'll kill you if you're planning to kill me with missionaries" I blurted out unconsciously and he laughed. 
"This your mouth ehn!" He snapped and I laughed. 
"I'm sorry" 
"I love you that way" he answered and I bit my lips, "If not for this no visiting enbargo  your parents imposed on us and we're in public, I would have kissed you" 
"I'm not going to suck; that I promise you" he promised then he stretched my hands at me.

Ayo's POV
While shopping for food stuffs and toiletries in a mall, I bumped into Ife. "Hey" i waved and she shrugged.
"Hey"
"How are you doing? I've been trying to call you, you haven't been picking my calls and I get that you're still angry"
"I'm not"
"You still haven't come back to church" 
"I've been trying to maintain my distance, how are you?" She asked and I smiled.
"I'm fine"
"I heard about the wedding"
"Yes.... Are you coming?" I asked and she smiled. "Yeah sure, I don't have anything doing this Saturday sha, and please say me hi to Tuni and I'm not saying it out of pretense and you're right maybe I just need to get out of my own way and just see life for what it is. Ignorance is not bliss"
"Yes at the same time, just be very careful. The way you're speaking like this" 
"Well I'm not planning on losing my virginity to anyone like that, I didn't keep this for 27 years only for one idiot to take it without working for it" she rolled her eyes and I stared at her with uncertainty.
"Maybe if you'll stop being angry and too uptight too, it'll go a long way to you know, help you out" I advised and she pouted her lips.
"It's only God that can help me oh" she complained. 
"Pastor Ayo, how will I maintain a good relationship that will lead to marriage. It's as if I have a problem" she complained and I laughed. 
"I can give them a few advise" 

****
Our wedding day was a day of joy to sound like a Pastor. Ife came along with her Mom, Tuni's crazy friends whom mom frowned at for dressing seductively.
 One of my favorite act of the party was when the MC asked the newly wedded couples to kiss. 
"I'm sure being a Pastor, this man has never kissed this woman before" he paused, unknown to him that we've kissed more times than I can count.

. "No" Tuni muttered and I almost laughed. 
"So, let's get ready for this grand moment. Their first official and legal kiss under the umbrella and eyes of God" he chipped in.
I pulled her close and all cameras flashed at us, "Pepper them kiss" Tuni commented and i kissed her and she kissed me back placing her hands on my cheeks.
We shared passionate kiss, we didn't even stop even when the MC called out attention to. 

***
Back at home, I had nothing but my underpants on while Tuni was n*ked as beautifuy created by God.  We kissed and she wrapping her arms around my neck, pressing her chest against mine.  
My excitement and fervour were at it's peak, I just wanted to be done with the foreplays and  I just go straight to the main business. 
I guess it was so easy to read as Tuni gave me that familiar smile and finally got rid of the only fabric I had on. 
 I deepened the kiss and she fell to the bed and i mounted on her and she pulled closer and we resumed kissing and then I heard her gasped into my mouth.
***

Tuni m*aned loudly and we both finally crashed on the bed trying to catch our breathe.
I exhaled loudly and she laughed. "Well you can call me a good teacher" she commented and I laughed. 
"And you're a good learner" she placed her lap over mine and i smiled. "Although there are still a few things i can teach you"
"Give me a break honey, the last time I had s*x I was fresh in the university" I snapped and he chuckled. 
"I'm just saying there's room for improvement"
"Was it disappointing?" I asked and she shook her head now biting her fingers.
"Not the least bit"
"The important thing is that were doing this under the right platform, according to God's plan. How did you feel?"
"It feels the same" she answered kissing me and I raised my brow in disappointment and she laughed. 
"I was just kidding" she laughed into my mouth, "See your face, you were so disappointed" she added and I laughed too.
"Sincerely I think it was different. I felt like I could yell and m*an loudly and no one will dare say I'm formicating. I can walk around the street with everyone knowing I'm not only having s*x but I'm having legal s*x" she answered and I laughed. 
"Jesus Tuni!" I exclaimed and she laughed.
"How did I ever come across this girl again?" I asked and she smiled. 
"Maybe it was my b*obs that took your attention. Remember the first day I came and my b*obs were on exposure, you looked at it right?" She asked and I didn't even know how to answer the question. 
"I never stared at your b*obs" I looked at her br*ast and then I looked away. "Don't be shy, it's your forever" she answered and I shut my eyes. 
"You can say the craziest things"
"You do know that I'll keep saying things that'll weird you out. This is me being s*xy"
"I'm still trying to get used to the intimacy" I kissed her and she kissed me back. 
I looked into the bedsheet, I was still nursing a hard on. "Maybe it wants me to get back on" she kissed me, "Maybe" I answered kissing her back.
