THE AUNT WHO CAME VISITING
âTell us the answer for crying out loudâ Tom gestured at the game going on the TV
âCome on honey, it will be less fun if they just jump straight to tell us the answerâ Celina said, âitâs more fun when thereâs suspenseâ she added
âThe answer will still come out anyways, so why would they stress minds by adding suspenseâ
âItâs the fun of it daddyâ Marie said from the dining table
âAnd what my little doe doing in the living room, have you finished your homework?â Â Tom said turning in the direction of Marie
âYes daddy, like 15minutes ago. You know I cannot miss watching this game, I need to be able to talk about it too when my friends are talking in school.â
âYou little thing, come sit with mummyâ Celina said
âMumâ Marie said as she sat down âwill you still come for the parents meeting in school tomorrow or daddy will?â
âDaddy will be there for you babyâ Tom said
âYaaayâ Marie exclaimed
âWhy are you so happy that itâs your dad coming to your school?â Celina said, with a green-eye
âYou know daddy has never come into my class before, Miss Monica has been asking about him ever since she saw him the day we resumed, when he came to drop meâ she said
âAnd why exactly will your teacher be asking about your dad?â Celina says, but really concern this time.
âI donât know,â Marie says âmaybe sheâs crushing on himâ she added
âSince when did you know when someone is crushing on another?â Tom says, now sitting at the edge of the couch
âIâll be 7 in a month dad, I know so much already. Besides I knew aunty Mirabel was crushing on uncle Paschal your friend, before they even started dating. And I was only 5 then, talk less of now that Iâm almost 7.â
At this point Tom and Celina were speechless, and just stared at themselves
âFineâ Celina said finally âIâll go there myself tomorrow and know why your teacher is always asking about my husbandâ she added
âCome on mumâ Marie says âshe only asked me thrice or thereabout. Besides, she crushes on almost all the fine fathers that come to pick their kidsâ she added
âHow do you know all these things?â Tom says
âI see the way she looks at them dad. Anytime she crushes on a particular father, she treats the child very well until when the crush is over then she begin to treat them like other kids. Coco teaches me most of these things whenever I go to California for holiday. And itâs always fun teaching my classmates here. â she added
âWhich means your teacher has been treating you well isnât it?â Celina said, totally ignoring what she said about coco. She knows that Cocoâs aunt teaches her all these things and she in turn teach them to Marie whenever sheâs there for holiday. Most times she asked herself how she got to be close to Yolanda, Cocoâs aunt.
âMhmmâ Marie hummed, but with eyes glued on the screen, pretending not to pay attention on her parents
âTom honeyâ Celina called out âI will go to that school tomorrow and see that woman. She should get a life instead of her prying on people husbands. Â And I will make sure I tell this to parents whose kids are in that classâ she added
âOh mummyâ Marie says, this time facing her mum âthat wouldnât be necessary, other parents know about this, itâs just the two of you that are lacking behind. Besides she stopped crushing on dad already, because she only treated me like a princess I already am for one week, then it went back to normal.â
âShe had betterâ Celina cuts in âbecause if she crushed on him when she saw him only once, she will fall in love with him tomorrow. Which means I will go to your school myself tomorrowâ she said
âWellâ Marie got up and kissed both her mum and dad goodnight âI was just pulling your legs. Whoever comes tomorrow, its fineâ She concluded and went to her room.
Celina and Tom remained silent for some minutes; Tom finally spoke up to break the silence.
âyou know baby,â he said âit was just like yesterday when I watched this child come out of you in that hospital, now sheâs acting all grown up at sixâ he added âitâs unbelievableâ
âI know baby. I donât believe it either, sheâs growing up too fastâ Celina said
âWell, itâs for the better. The fact that sheâs not like other kids alone is something to be thankful forâ Tom concluded
âIf she had spent all her life here in Africa, she wouldnât have known most of these things. You know Coco acts way more matured than our daughter doesâ
âOh, I never even thought about her.â Tom said âthanks to Yolandaâ he added.
Both Celina and Tom ended up not going to the school. Mirabel, who came in the same night after Marie had gone to bed, decided to pay her a surprise visit in school together with her friend. Marie was more than excited to see her aunt she hasnât set eyes on for a long time. The three ladies went for shopping after they came back from Marieâs school, something little Marie has missed doing a lot. Thatâs why sheâs always glued to her aunt because she do those things her mum never does for her, like going to shopping thrice in a week and buying the best of chocolate for her and taking her to the nicest places because of the nature of her job. Most times daddy takes her to nice places, but of course it takes a lady to know what a lady wants. Her daddy cannot select one good outfit for himself without mixing funny colors, let alone shopping for a lady.
Marie likes her aunt Mirabel because she fills in where her mum and dad donât.
âSo tell me more about this Caleb boy Auraâ Mirabel said
She calls Marie âAuraâ which is the ellipsis for âAuroraâ which means âgoddess of the dawnâ
âHmm Aunty Mimi, you have no idea how that boy has made my life unbearable in that schoolâ she said âmost times I wish he dies in his sleep one morning so I will not see him in schoolâ she added.
âWhy didnât you tell us in school so Iâll teach her a lesson?â Lucy, Mirabelâs friend said âthe last child that tried that with my lil sis ended up buying her launch everyday for one weekâ she added.
âDamn she did girl!â Mirabel said âI can still remember the look on her face when you told her you were going to tell her mum that she has been stealing money from her andâŚâ
âReally?â Marie cut in âhow did you know she was stealing from her parent?â
âAurora! What did I tell you about interrupting people when they talk?â Mirabel pouted
âIâm sorry Aunt Mimiâ Marie said in a sad face
âAwww see my girl. Apology has been accepted darlingâ Mirabel said with a poke on Marieâs nose
âYou two remind me of me and my little sis.â Lucy said âanyways Mar girl, I got to find out the girls secret from her best friend, with chocolate of courseâ
The three burst out in laughter
Marie excused herself; it was time for her siesta so she had to leave. The joy of her aunt being around will make her sleep even better.
âYou two really look great together you know babesâ Lucy said âsomeone may just think you are her mother if they donât know you two wellâ she added
âI know right! The funny thing is she never liked me from small till she was 3 years old. Back then she would cry and cry if I dare carry herâ
âSo how exactly did you two become this close?â
âWell, Celina traveled to Freetown for official business, you know this their banking job now, very stressful. She was out for three months so I had to be here with my brother to take care of Aurora. Thatâs how we got closeâ
âOh! Talking about your brother, when does he come back from work? I havenât seen him todayâ
âWell, I donât know, it depends. You guys really gist last night o. ha! Considering the fact that we came late and tired, you still had the energy to sit down and talk that much.â
âI know babesâ she got up and walked to the wine shelve and brought out a brandy and two glasses âI like his sense of humor. We didnât talk much sha. He didnât want his wife to start asking questionsâ she added while pouring the wine into the glasses
âLucyâ Mirabel called out
âMhmmâ Lucy hummed with the glass on her mouth, almost chocking.
âLucyâ this time around she called with her hand on her ear
âAh ah, what nowâ Lucy said, âwhy are you calling me like Iâm not here?â
âBe carefulâ Mirabel said âCelina does not take it likely with even the girls that look at Tom on the street lustfully, talk less of you thatâs in her house. She will kill you and bury you right in the middle of this living room so just control whatever that is and enjoy your stay here before you willâŚâ
âAre you serious?â Lucy cuts in âcome on babesâ she giggled âyou know me better than that nowâ she took a sip âitâs my first time in your brotherâs house and you think Iâll do anything stupid?â
âI know you too well babesâ
âOh pleaseâ they both laugh âhe was just friendly, thatâs allâ she added
âIf you say so well, I don talk my own finishâ
âDonât worry baby girl, I just love it here alreadyâ
âI told you, you wouldâ
The night Mirabel and Lucy came in, Celina was about to retire to bed and Tom was planning to stay up to watch the repeat of the spelling bee because he didnât watch it earlier. Marie made him promise to watch it. But luckily Mirabel came with her friend, and she was willing to stay up for some times to keep him some company.
They talked about a lot of things, and found out they had a little in common. The night was a good one, Tom finally decided to retire to bed but Lucy didnât want him to. Of course she was already falling for Tom and she told him she would really appreciate it if he spent 30 more minutes with her, but he insisted. He knows who Celina is of course; she doesnât take it lightly with him even talking too friendly with his female staffs.
Celina makes sure she gives Tom everything he needs, because she knows men cannot control their libido. Considering how fine and attractive her husband is, she takes extra precautions before he start messing around with these young girls that will never keep their eyes of married men. Three years ago she warned Angelica, her friendsâ younger sister who she met flirting with her husband. And she has warned many other women. She does these things so that the girls that try to come to him will be scared if they find out about his wife.
Six days after Mirabel and her friend came, everything was normal as Lucy tried so hard to keep off Tom even when she was crushing on him badly. On a Saturday, Tom went to the gym and Celina went for a meeting while Mirabel and Marie went shopping. She refused to go out because she was tired after clubbing throughout Friday night.
She was going through photos in the living room, when she came across Tomâs photo were he stood with only a boxer with his friends at the pool, she started hallucinating and imagined herself touching those albs and kissing Tom at the same time. Itâs not the first time sheâs seeing that particular photo. The first time she saw that photo, she came. And since then she had referred herself to that photo whenever she needed to imagine herself with Tom.
This time she was thinking out loud with the photo glued to her chest and didnât know when Tom came in and stood behind her.
âOh Tom, yea, right there, just there donât stopâ she was saying in a low and sexual tone
âDonât stop what?â
She heard Tom say behind her. Embarrassed, she hid the photo and turned slowly to face Tom, trying to look for the best thing to say to cover up her shame.
âOh, donâtâŚDonât…donât sâŚstop wor…Working outâ she stuttered with her words âyes! Donât stop working out. It makes you look better than men of your ageâ she finally said, still trying to hide the photo behind her.
âOhâ Tom said âmy wife makes me work out and stay fit you know. I enjoy it now better than I did beforeâ he concluded, trying to make her think he didnât know what was going on. âI didnât expect to meet anyone at homeâ he added
âOh, yeâŚyeaâ She said âI didnât go out with them, just too tired after last night you knowâ she added
âOh, goodâ he said âyou sure really came back late. Well Iâll just go freshen up thenâ
âOh, yea you should.â She said looking down in order to avoid looking into his eyes, and to not look at those arms that she has always imagined would grab her in the waist and kiss her like the world was coming to an end.
She watched Tom walk up the stairs and she wished the ground will just open and swallow her. She pinched herself to make sure she was not lost in one of her usual hallucinating adventures. âHoly shitâ she said to herself âI canât believe he just heard me call out his name. What in hellâs name is wrong with you Lucy? You should have at least done that inside the room and avoid this embarrassmentâ she touched herself and noticed she was wet, which made it more embarrassing because what is happening in this house has never happened before in her life.
Tom pretended as if nothing happened, but he knew what was going on. Itâs not the first time this has happened. Alex, his employee told him how he overheard Tamara, his assistant calling his name in a way that made him think they were both having sex, in her office. Tom loves his wife so he tries as much as he can to stay faithful to her even when theyâre so many temptations around him.
He came down to the living room to fetch some whiskey, but with his towel on and wearing nothing underneath. Lucy entered the living room and found him standing there and this time around, she couldnât help but say the word out âyou know you are a very sexy man Mr. Tom?â and she wished she didnât say that. How the words found its way out of her mouth surprised her.
âYes I know Lucy, my wife tells me that everydayâ he replied, walking up to his room âbut thank you anywaysâ he concluded, not looking back at her
Lucy feeling more embarrassed went up to his room after some minutes, wanting to apologize to him for everything he has witnessed today, and to tell him it was all but a mini crush she has on him. But she went up there and embarked on another mission entirely.
Lucy knocked, entered and found him sitting on his study desk. âMr. Tomâ she said, âIâm really sorry for saying that. I shouldnât haveâ Tom didnât turn back like she had expected him to, but she continued anyways, feeling cheap. âReally I just was in a fancy world earlier and didnât really mean it for you to hear me thinking out loudâ she added
âReally?â he said, turning to face her âwell its ok Lucy, youâre not the first anyway so Iâm used to itâ
âHoly Jesusâ she exclaimed inside, âthis man must really be that hot for girls to be fantasizing for. I thought itâs just meâ
âIâm still really sorry Mr. Tom, I feel stupid reallyâ she said, turning back to leave.
âLucyâ Tom called her as she was about to exit the door âI think I should let you know that I too am having a crush on you. It started the very night you came here. That night, I almost wanted to kiss you but I love my wife so I had to control myselfâ
The joy in her heart at that moment is unexplainable âyou are beautiful and sexy and really curvy. And I noticed all that, donât think Iâm an animal just because I pretended not to notice youâ
In Lucyâs mind âsomebody call 911 because itâs about to get really hot in hereâ
He came closer, still with the towel around his waist and shirtless. He came closer and closer until he was able to touch her. He gently held her and slowly took her to the bed, Lucy on the other hand was dump founded, she didnât know if to run, or tell him to stop or better still slap him to snap off what he is doing because he is doing it in their bedroom but she hadnât the mind to, because she was all wet and in the mood and ready for anything that will come up next.
He kissed her on the lips, and then laid her down. Lucy relaxed her muscles underneath him and she let him take over her whole body. Tom then began to slowly kiss down her neck. He longed to take off her clothes, but he wondered what would happen if Celina comes in and sees them but he didnât finish his thought when Lucy asked âwhat if your wife comes in here Mr. Tom?â she wished she didnât ask that question because she got scared that he might just stop, and she didnât want him to stop. She wished it would last forever, this moment that she has been dreaming about for the past one week is finally happening, she wouldnât want to spoil it.
âMy wife will not come in anytime now Lucyâ he said, âshe will be in the meeting till 8pm, the meeting happens twice in a year so she will be late.â Lucy was relieved to hear that, but Tom continued talking, and she didnât want him to continue talking, she wanted only silence and her moaning to be the only thing filing the air in the room. âCall me Tom Lucy, I think at this moment you should call me by my nameâ he added. âOk Tomâ she said.
He travelled down her body like silk oil, and his lips trailed after them. He could hear Lucy moaning silently and it made him harder just by her sound. He used his lips to trace every sensitive part of her body back and his hands; worked like magic on a keyboard. He reached her lips once more and kissed them passionately like there was nothing in the world that would stop them. Lucy moaned again, he asked. âAre you sure you want to do this baby?â âNow! I need nothing elseâ she answered. âBaby!!! He called me babyâ she said in her mind âI must be halliucinatingâ she concluded in her mind. She kissed him passionately from his lips and continued down until she was able to reach his towel.
She reached for his towel and pulled it out and found him standing real straight. âoh Tomâ youâre really bigâ she said âthatâs why my wife doesnât want to share me with anyoneâ he replied. âLucky meâ she said jokingly and for the first time that day, they both laughed together. She took him in her hand and couldnât wait to have him inside her mouth, but just as she was about to do that, the door opened.
âOH MY GODâ Celina said in shock, and didnât realize when she left her handbag to hit the ground, she covered her hands on her mouth andâŚ
