"Susan. Susan!!!"
The voice and incessant shaking woke Susan up from her peaceful slumber. She was beat after a very stressful day. Mr. Matthews her lecturer was beginning to be a pain in the ass. He was the only lecturer in the department that had zero regards for the timetable. He tended to miss his stipulated time and chose to set his classes for 4pm and often ended up teaching till past seven.
Groggily, she raised herself up to a sitting position, causing her hello kitty duvet to fall down to her laps, exposing her tank top clad body. Susan glanced at the wall clock by her right.
"My gosh!!!" she exclaimed, bolting up almost as quick as the speed of light.
"Why in the world did you not wake me since. It's past 7am" She glared at her roommate and boyfriend Pete.
Yes. She had been cohabiting with her boyfriend for five months now. She met him during clearance. He was one of the Departmental excos, the director of socials. A perfect definition of tall, dark and handsome...
"Shoot" Susan cried falling flat on her face. She was looking for the clearance office round the extremely large faculty. She seemed to have been going round and round this building without finding her location and her feet just had to hit a stone, which brought her to the situation she was in now- her face kissing the dusty walkway, her files strewn everywhere.
Her fall had attracted the attention of people around, some threw her looks of sympathy, which she obviously hated. Some could care less and continued with what they were doing like nothing had happened after sparing her a quick glance. She also caught a few people giggling and she rolled her eyes at this.
"Awon aye" (humans) She thought to herself.
After few seconds on the floor, which felt like an eternity, she brought her self to her knees to pick the documents which had been scattered abroad due to her fall.
"Let me assist you" She heard a masculine voice say and soon hands joined her on the floor.
She paused and looked up and came face to face with a perfect TDH- she would have swooned, but right now, she had lost almost every shred of her dignity and couldn't afford to lose the last bit of it by swooning at the sight of a perfect stranger, no matter how handsome he looked.
Wordlessly, they worked hand in hand to gather her stuff from the ground.
"Thank you" She muttered, suddenly shy, refusing to let her eyes to meet his.
"I'm Pete. You seem a bit lost, do you need any help" He said offering her his toned hands.
"Why are you shouting at me. I've warned you several times to tune your voice down a notch when speaking with me, you whore" Pete hissed angrily, sending Susan a harsh glare.
Susan had pleaded with her boyfriend, Pete to wake her up by 6 am. She slept late because she had to study for a test she had by 7 am the next day, which is today.
"Pete, why? You know this test is worth 25% of my grade. You selfish bastard. You keep doing this" She continued, her eyes flashing and her hands working animatedly.
She did not see his hands coming, she was about standing up before she suddenly had her breath knocked out of her from a huge slap delivered by Pete. Her left cheek burned badly, and she knew already that this would bruise. She would after all not make the test. She sat back down, hands clutching her cheek as the tears trickled down her face.
He had promised, he had promised never to touch her again after the first time he had badly bruised her hips when they had an argument. She had vowed to leave him after that, but he came with flowers, chocolate, gifts, he even went as far as kneeling to beg and yes, she had been too dumb, dumb enough to believe he woudn't do it again. She had refused to take heed to the warnings of Muni, her friend who was of the opinion that once a man hits you, he could do it over and over again.
"You missed the test" Muni said as soon as Susan got seated in the hall.
"Why?" She asked
Susan was dressed in a black leggings and a big polo.
"And why in God's name are you putting on sunglasses? It's evening for Christ sakes" Muni continued without waiting for her to reply.
Muni was someone who could say a thousand words per seconds and could ask questions without giving the person a chance to answer them while Sussan was more reserved. This was why their friendship was perfect. They balanced each other.
"Wait! Don't tell me he hit you. Again!!!" She whisper yelled, putting emphasis on 'again' and once again, as if a dam was opened, the waterworks began as Susan began narrating the event of the day while Muni patiently rubbed her back not interrupting.
"What the hell made you are to cohabit with a guy at first? It was wrong in so many levels. You could stay in the hostel, I offered you stayed with me, both offers you turned down. Alright, I accept the fact that you needed to be with him even though I don't agree with you. But you take crap from this dude almost everyday, and you ain't married yet, but you do practically everything a married woman does. You cook, clean, wash, sleep with him and do every freaking thing. Kicking your morals to the curb. The height of it are the assaults. He does this to you, he abuses you emotionally and you still stay. Why the freaking hell? You think this is love? You have lost every ounce of self respect for a guy you just met few months ago. How much more can you take? How far low can you sink? " Muni was on a roll and had no intention to stop anytime soon.
"Babe. You are smart, you know how the story ends. Don't be a cliché. Exams are coming next week. Leave. While you still can" Muni ended her long sermon.
"Nobody understood" She thought to herself. She would have left his stupid ass a long time if not for that stupid mistake she made. A mistake that would forever hang over her head. A mistake that she would pay for either way. If she stayed, she could possibly end up dead. If she left, she would end up shamed and maybe even disowned. How could she have agreed to make a bloody sex tape with him?
Powerful piece, this is one of my reasons for always saying, the best person you could be in a relationship with is someone who is already in a relationship with Christ and has a genuine love for Him, only then can someone love truly.
I hope our ladies eyes keep opening to not just falling for any kinda man that crosses their path.
Great post @tojukaka.
@kayceesuave
:-) Staying with him was the first mistake she made.
She also couldn't leave him because of the sex tape.
I hope she found a way around it though.
I also hope many youths get to see this story 'cos a lot actually make this sex tape thing lately.
They end up committing suicide or having some sort of psychological troubles when it gets leaked.
I still don't understand why the females are the ones to suffer even though both genders are involved.
Her future is more valuable though. She should face the disgrace and build a better future while she can.
Her education is more important.
Funny thing is it everyone forgets after a year.
May God save our souls.
Wow! This is tricky. For him to happily hit her, definitely, there is no denying the fact that he would use the sex tape against her, if she leaves. It is better she find that sex tape and smash it, or better still, live with the consequences of it while she decide to stay alive. It is tough and easier to give this advice, when you are not the one in it though. Really tricky.
Well done brother, another masterpiece. I am loving this new side to you.
Hoo my gawd... 😐
Firstly thanks to @tts for helping me here, I was thinking on how to read such epistle, not until I saw his/her comment🤥
Then secondly while listening I became confused cause I was expecting to hear sex but it looked like the story was saying another thing but not until the end, truly kept me on suspense.
This is exactly what majority of our young ladies surfer today, due to there mistakes they get stuck up in a blackmail called relationship.
Perfectly written
i totally agree with you....
Well, i have never really liked the idea of a lady allowing a guy make a sex tape with her.
For all we know, an enjoyable sex tape today might be used against you tomorrow. The youth of this generation should be warned.
Keep writing sir
This post caught me up. I was wondering why she don't want to leave that monster she called a boyfriend, beating her up and down still she stays without leaving. Oh I see, because of the sextape she made with her boyfriend, she doesn't want to be exposed, she rather want to die in the hands of his boyfriend. Girls of nowadays should be very careful. Living with a man who hasn't pay your bride price is an abomination, beware. Thanks for sharing.
This was so interesting to read. More please. 😊
this should be converted to a book o. moral lesson: there is always a consequence in every action, be it positive or negative. correcr one @tojukaka
This is good. I always tell students I come across that "when you join Steemit you learn and earn." We need more of this
hmmm this is damn serious, well it depends on individual understanding of relationship, a guy that beats a lady for what ever means is not mature to be called a guy, irrespective of the scenerio, what makes you a mature guy is your ability to control yourself in the mist of challenges and scene like this without falling to assault.
many people lack the meaning and understanding of love and relationship, as a man, your fiance or wife is not a surbodinate or inferior to you in any mean, she is your friend, yourself and your helpmeet, assaulting her means assaulting yourself.
women may seems weak and powerless on the physical, but they are the most stronger and powerful from the insight, you value and cherish her power, you gain from her, but if you abuse, neglect, ignore and disgrace her, you will receive her rod sooner or later.
@tojukaka, I really appreciate you making this post which enable me to air-out my views, thanks
What a huge mistake ladies make on this issue. Ladies are too fragile in believing men. Chai so sad
That's fantastic, more talent . We need more here.
