Chapter 1
"Just a little taste, what is your problem? Why do you pretend that you don't want this" Mr. Gupta said while chasing me round the settee shaking his balding head that had oil slicked tufts of black hair near the ears , his exposed pot belly quivering madly over his stretched boxers.
"Mr. Gupta" I said, revulsion soaking every timbre of my voice. "I have warned you, I shall be forced to report you to your wife"
A look of desperation crossed his features as I noticed beads of sweat drop from his brow.
This game of ring-around-the-roses had been going on for a week now, just a week after I resumed work as a domestic aid for the Gupta family. That's right, I am a servant. Not one born of choice but of necessity, having graduated from the university a year ago I discovered that landing a cushy bank job with very low grades was nothing short of impossible.
My mother is a widow and it cost her a pretty kobo to send me to school, how was I to go back and tell her that despite her sacrifices to provide me with a better life I had messed up.
Of course my letters and phone calls home always painted a rosy picture of my life in the city of Lagos, but when my roommate (errr… well… more like my friend in whose house I'm squatting) insisted that I contribute a quota of the house rent I knew my gig was up. Don't get me wrong, I'm not lazy and have searched for work but none of the companies I approached are willing to employ a graduate with a 3rd class score. Working as a servant took a lot of pride swallowing but I've decided to look at it as a means to an end. At avenue to help ends meet until something better comes along.
Lost in my reverie, I didn't notice Mr. Gupta leap across the settee, his efforts causing a large ripping sound. It was the sound that brought me back to the present, although I wish I had remained oblivious. A flat, angry red penis pushed its way through the gaping hole swinging from side to side. His sweaty paws grabbed my upper arms, the stench of sweat and garlic assaulted my nostrils as he pressed his grotesque body on me.
"Let me go" I said squirming, my body shuddering in revulsion.
"For a week now you have been playing hard to get, do you think I don't know you want me, why else would you shake your bum every time you pass me. I will not be denied"
