Like You Own It

“Who is this big baby? So you can’t sleep alone in the house for one night? I thought I was living with a lady as tough as Michelle Yeon, I didn’t know you would be worst than Areil the little mermaid!” Lanre said to Eno over the phone. Eno tried to defend herself that she was not weak but Lanre still continued with the jesting.

“Aunty Lanre where are you? Come back home! Am at uncle Christian’s place, come pick me up”. Eno said authoritatively and hanged up. But it was all because she missed Lanre and Lanre had made her worried.

Lanre sighed when she saw that the call had ended. She sent a message to Eno telling her to sleep at Christian’s place for the night and that she would come pick her up the following day. This was because Lanre had no clue when she would be able to leave the hotel. Especially now that she does not know when K would return.

But K didn’t take long after Lanre’s call. He returned to the hotel. He had a wound on his lip and a slight cut around his eyebrows. Lanre noticed it and wanted to ask what happened to him. But instead she told him she wanted to go home. K did not answer. He walked straight into the bathroom. He stayed for a while before coming out with a towel wrapped around his waist.

Lanre swallowed hard when she saw his fine sculptured body. She could bet her last card on the fact that black is beautiful if anyone wanted to contend that. She shook her head telling herself to focus. She wouldn’t want to forget she was supposed to leave by getting distracted by K’s body.

“I would like to leave now”. Lanre said to K for the second time since he returned. He told her to go on and leave. She told him she needs him to open the door. K smirked.

“Right now I’m too lazy to open any door aside from the one that leads to the pleasure of you”. K said.

“Are you on drugs? I’m asking you to open the door. I need to leave. I let that little girl sleep all by herself last night in that house. Not this night. I need to go”.

“You already told her you will pick her up tomorrow morning, didn’t you? I will send someone to do that on your behalf. Also she would be registered into a boarding school so that you don’t get to stress yourself worrying too much about her. And you can focus on staying healthy so my baby doesn’t get affected. Abd also stay beautiful for my eyes to feed”. K said.

“What are you even saying? Who are you, planning my life like you own it? Like who even does that?” Lanre asked. She wondered if K was in the room when she told Eno she would pick her up the following morning. But then she remembers that she had sent it as a message instead and had not say it with her mouth.
