Chapter 11: Chapter 11

Chapter Eleven

.It was indeed a busy and fun filled week for Imara and captain Buba was more than ready to keep it so. They visited the nooks and crannies of the Garden City, did shopping in some boutiques, visited some big restaurants and ended up in captain Buba’s bed as they explored every part of their body making passionate love. Their weekend was spent on board captain Buba’s ship as they both enjoyed the fresh breeze of the sea and making passionate love both in their cabin and on deck. It was a wonderful and momentous period for both of them except it ended too soon. On the eve of her departure captain Buba handed over the ultimate gift to Imara , as she rushed to open it captain Buba seized her hand and dropped her on a near by settee “not now and definitely not here” captain Buba announced as he placed his mouth on hers and removing the robe she was wearing, he reached for her nipples, “when you get to home” he continued as she gave an exciting sound, “but what’s inside” she managed to asked as she shivered excitedly as a result of another sucking of her nipples by the Captain, without any response or warning the captain pushed a finger into her and with so much excitement she made a sweet sound “Hmmm”, and the excitement continued as captain Buba inserted his dick into her and stroked gently while she twisted her waist in response. After the third round they were both exhausted and slept off. The next day Imara arrived Brass city with the 12:45pm flight from Harcourt county. Fat Bukky was the first to see her as she alighted from the Airport Taxi that brought her home “ it’s a lie, Queen of the garden city “: she hailed her, “ my dear, you’re looking radiant, I’m sure you had a swell time” she concluded Imara smiled “ don’t just stand there with your flattering, please give me a hand with my luggage” she requested, without a word Bukky dropped her container and rushed to the taxi to assist her with her boxes “my goodness I thought you left with only one box, these are four boxes, what happened did you buy the whole of Harcourt city” Bukky asked with a mischievous smile. “what can I say, hmm, wait till we get inside, in fact I had to stop him” Imara replied glowing with pride. After paying off the cab, they both barged into Queen’s apartment with the boxes, “Waooooo look who just came back……..” Queen shouted entering her sitting room from the kitchen, “whoa, my princess is back, and what’s with this boxes?” she asked no one in particular “did Captain wrap his Ship into boxes for you or is it……?” she continued, “they are things he bought for me o, in fact I had to stop him”, Imara interrupted, “what you still had to stop him with all this” Queen shouted reaching for one of the boxes, the noise brought Idara into Queens apartment “is my sweetheart back” she asked entering the apartment “see clothes!” she exclaimed as she stumbled on one of the boxes “well they are for all of us” Imara announced as they all struggled for clothes, shoes, bags, and jewelries. “wait” Queen suddenly shouted and they all stopped “Imara sorry, we didn’t even allow you to give us what you have for us” Queen continued as they all dropped what they had earlier carried “as many things as you can carry is yours, in fact I’m going to join you in the search” Imara announced and they all rushed back to the struggle as Imara opened the remaining boxes “Please throw that perfume to me I saw it first” Idara shouted and they all burst into laughter. After, they have had enough they all thanked Imara for her generosity and prayed that they will be able to retaliate. “How far with the phone he promised you? Bukky inquired from her. Imara smiled as they all sat on the sofa while Imara continued with her gist, then she reached for her hand luggage and brought out a wrapped item “what is that” Queen asked “I told you he didn’t let me open it before eating me up” Imara replied and they all burst into laughter “you must be very delicious” Idara added. The other girls all erupted in fits of laughter, “girl truly you must have turned the man’s head inside out for him to buy you this”, Fat Bukky added. Imara opened the last box and brought out a compact case containing the iphone 10….

“Waow! What a beau” Queen exclaimed. Imara grinned enjoying the moment, this was her moment and she intended to enjoy it to the hilt. “your man is sure very generous- you know?” Idara chipped in.

. “Remember yesterday’s outing well I was again given the same amount pending when the economy improves,” Bukky added. “Oh my God This people are funny as well as stingy,” Queen said laughing hilariously. “Anyway let me not be selfish, this time l was well taken care of. But come to think of it, why’re you all complaining? Queen asked “can’t you see Imara is prettier and fresher than all of us hence her ability to land a big fish,” Queen said giggling,” Imara don’t mind them tell me more,” Queen continued as the other girls lapsed into silence.

****************************************

The year went by with lots of excitement for Imara courtesy of her sugar daddy, Captain Buba. Within the year she had made three other trips to Harcourt County and each time Imara returned loaded with gifts and presents from her lover. Life was worth living, she thought to herself, and the years ahead were filled with promises of better things. Three days to the New Year, Queen sauntered in one evening smiling mischievously, “Imara luv, l’m inviting you to attend a party with me in Douala,” Queen announced. “But l’m fully engaged and l can’t go out with another man,” Imara replied with a frown “we’re going to Madira?”. Queen was lost for words, for awhile she was undecided whether to laugh or cry. “I’m sorry miss fidelity”, Queen said. “Do you want to remain a mistress to an elderly man for the rest of your life or you want him to die before you move on?” Queen asked scornfully. “Take it easy, it won’t come to that, “Imara replied patiently.” Right now Captain Buba’s gone to France as a military attaché and to join his family, I’ll go with you,” she added. “Good now you’re talking,” Queen said.” But are we going alone?” Imara asked. Queen understood her question. “No Idara and the other girls are aware and they’re all coming,” she replied. “When do we leave?” Imara asked. “Tomorrow evening, Queen answered. The next day, Queen’s flat was a beehive of activity as both of them packed their bags for the trip to Douala. They were joined by Idara and Bukky who had finished packing and together they all drove to the airport to board the 4.15pm flight that was going to Douala via Harcourt county. They were all in a joyful mood chattering like weaver birds as the aircraft taxied on the run way and took off.

By evening they were in Douala and safely ensconced in one of the hotels situated a few blocks

away from the Sheraton Hotel and Towers. Later in the night they made their way to the venue

of the party with Queen brandishing her invitation card they were allow to go in. On entering, Imara and Queen got themselves seats near the bar as guard and the other girls disappeared into the dancing floor. Both of them sat quietly and watched the party progress. “Stay put luv,” Queen whispered as she went after a man, “l’ll be back soon.” She trotted off quickly, leaving Imara sitting up at the bar. The excited and admiring young man now only two feet away from her was all the while caressing her with his gaze. The moment Queen had vanished he was beside Imara. “Where’s your moda?” he asked with a heavy tongue. “Gone to bed?” Imara did not reply she turned her head gracefully and showed her neat teeth in a welcoming grin. “What’s your poison?” he asked eagerly. “Irish cream”, Imara replied.

“Come on darling, let’s go sit somewhere quiet” So in a dimly lit corner they sat together. The man cuddled her and whispered words of love in her ear. “Where have you been hiding, beautiful?” he murmured. Imara did not say a word, Queen had told her to play dumb and of course she had every intention of doing so. She flicked back her false eyelashes and stared inscrutably at him. “Wow!” he cried, all the more excited. “Just like the Old Mona Lisa come on, baby put me out of my misery. Just tell me your name!” he grasped her hands. The corners of her mouth twitched but she did not smile this time.” My name is Imara”, she said softly. The man jumped to his feet and began to pull her up. “Come Imara, let’s leave this hell hole of a party and go somewhere quiet and enjoy ourselves,” the man said. “No”, Imara replied pulling away. “I must wait for Queen.” “Who is she by the way?” the ma asked.

“Hey watch your tongue boy,” Imara charged for the first time. The man sat down again and began swallowing his beer in a sulky manner. “Sorry,” he apologized. He was handsome, Imara thought and she liked that excited feeling inside her when he pressed close to her and his hand fondled her knee, little tremors shot up her thighs. It was not long before Queen returned grinning from ear to ear. “No luv, she’s not available,” Queen informed him pulling Imara from her seat. “Not so fast,” the man began,” what’s your price, l’ll pay,” he said. “No l know your type Fefah,” Queen fired back.” Wait a minute you know each other?” Imara asked amazed. “Not that it matters,” Queen replied moving on.” Why’re you doing this to me Queen?” Fefah asked her. Queen smiled,” can’t you see my little girl’s too decent for you,” she replied as they disappeared into the crowd. “Don’t like you treating me as if l’m a small girl”, Imara blurted out. “l like the guy.” Queen stopped suddenly. “You don’t understand Fefah’s a user. You deserve better guys with pregnant wallets,” Queen replied. In no time two guys joined them. “Imara meet my guy Fred and his friend Thounder,” Queen said by way of introduction. “Nice to meet you,” Imara said smiling at Thounder. Thounder was handsome, tall and had a nice complexion, Imara observed as they smiled at each other, sizing themselves in the process. Seconds later Queen and Fred disappeared leaving Thounder and Imara to themselves. “.. You’re a pretty lady,” Thounder complimented. “Thanks! And you’re not bad either”, Imara replied. “Let’s go seat down and have a drink.” Thounder suggested. Dragging two chairs, they settled by the window while a waiter brought their drinks. “Are you married?” Thounder asked. Imara smiled, “No! Why do you ask?” “Oh for two reasons, first l don’t want any jealous husband to break my head,” Thounder said laughing. Imara laughed too.” “So what’s the second reason?” she asked.” I’m single too and l’d like us to have a relationship,” Thounder stated. “Not a bad idea,” Imara replied. But what do you do for a living?” “Oh! I’m a very mobile businessman. I do business mostly on the internet and with my GSM..,” he paused. “.. then l’m also into politics”. “Where do you live?” Thounder inquired. “Well we came in from Brass City…” “Just for the party?” He asked “yes”. “Anyway l’ll be in town soon to spend some time with you,” Thounder promised.

Imara and her new friend enjoyed themselves to the hilt at the party. In the early hours of the following day, Imara agreed to followed Thounder to his house, but with the intention of returning to their hotel later to pick her stuff and join Queen for the return trip back to Brass City. Before leaving the venue of the party, Imara looked around for Queen or any of the girls but they had all disappeared too. Immediately she joined Thounder in his car, a sleek beautiful Nissan Altima Primera and they zoomed off. Tunde apart from his well shaped physique was doing well too for his age. He was a mobile business man like he told Imara at the party, always on the move. But what Imara did not know yet was that Thounder was an add job man for a group of politicians currently in government and from the ruling party. If there was a dirty deal to be done or somebody needed to be roughened up a little or something illegal needed to be brought in or taken out Thounder was the man for such jobs. The pay was worth the trouble and he never failed to pamper himself as Imara found out. He lived in an imposing one storey building in the high brow Ocean district. “Your house is beautiful must’ve cost a fortune,” Imara complimented. “Yes it comes with the job,” he replied. “What job? I thought you were a mobile business man?” Imara queried. He smiled, “that’s just a part of it…l’m also a “consultant” for some of the politicians in government Thounder replied. “This is serious,” Imara said shaking her head. “I’m not joking,” Thounder began, “politicians consult me to strategize for them in many areas, to enable them achieve their goals” he lied. “It’s alright,” Imara replied leaving it at that and rather concentrating on the hot cup of tea Thounder pushed into her hands. “By the way l hope you enjoyed the party?” he asked. “Oh very much, l’ve never seen anything like this,” Imara exclaimed. “My dear you have not seen anything yet this is child’s play compared to the real thing at the Hilton hotel scheduled to hold in Lome Togo – there you’ll have the presidents in attendance”. “And yet they say there’s no money to improve the welfare of the masses” Imara said angrily, sipping her tea. “Tell me something the party in Sheraton was for which group of persons?” she asked. “That one was for us the boys, he replied. “That’s why we were able to invite Queen and the rest of you”. Seconds after finishing her tea, Imara went to bed. She slept in his room after all they were friends and on a first date no responsible man will go beyond this level and Thounder truly didn’t demand to make love to her. They’d be time for that, he thought to himself. Besides the girl looked sophisticated, unlike those cheap hungry girls who roamed around Sheraton hotel looking for customers. Switching off the light he turned over and slept off on the chair. While Imara slept in his cozy bedroom, a lot was going on in their hotel room. Queen and the girls had already checked out of the hotel and accompanied by Fred, were at that moment heading for Thounder’s house. Imara was prevented from sleeping further by Thounder who informed her that the girls were around. “Where’re they?” she asked groggily. “In the living room,” he replied. “Happy New Year,” Queen and the other girls hailed as Imara appeared. “Hi luv are you set? Hope you’ve not forgotten we’re departing today,” Queen reminded her. “No problem, won’t take me long to dress,” Imara replied. Immediately she entered the bathroom where she had a hot bath more so since it was a chilly day because of the harmattan season. Thounder and Fred drove them to the domestic wing of the Douala International Airport. “I’ll miss you, Thounder said”. So will l”, Imara replied. “But you know it was fun having you around, “Thounder continued. “Yes and thanks for everything but remember your promise to visit me in Brass City”, Imara reminded him. “Don’t you worry your lovely head, he’ll come,” Fred said smiling as he handed the girls their flight tickets. They were billed for the 5pm flight to Brass City… “Thank God we’re flying straight to Brass City unlike when we were coming,” Queen commented. “Really? This is a better deal and we’d get in early than we did coming,” Imara concurred. As they waited for the call to board, they engaged in chatter livening their last moments together. At 5pm the call to board was made.

“Have a nice flight,” Thounder called out to Imara and her friends as they boarded the sky power B737 which took off shortly while Thounder and Fred looked on till it became a tiny dot. “So what do you think of Imara” Thounder asked Fred smiling. “ She’s beautiful to start with and I’m sure you were riding throughout the night,” Fred said winking. Thounder laughed “you got it wrong my friend. Ordinarily one shouldn’t allow a pussy like that to go untouched but I decided to surprise myself and continue grooming her till when we meet in Brass city then she will get to know Thounder.”

“Not a bad strategy,” Fred replied as they got into their cars and zoomed out of the airport.
