I HOPE YOU ENJOY THE STORY,FASTEN YOUR SEATBELT AS WE EMBARK ON ANOTHER FUN LOVING ,EROTIC INTRIGUING JOURNEY INTO MY ESCAPADES WITH THE CHRISTIAN AUNTY..
The way my neighbourhood was set up,there is like a mixture of both rich and middle class and a few poor,I am not trying to make fun of or show any of these people up but just so you will understand the dynamics of the area..me and my brothers due to our natural disposition to always get in trouble my mum had banned us from ever going outside the compound which was big enough for us to play and do whatever we want anyway.
Also we always tended to do some absurd things like following the neighbourhood working class kids to a nearby school to fly kites or to games arcades even though we had games console of ours but we just craved for the freedom and adventure the boys playing on the streets enjoyed.one time my elder brother picked a fight with one of the boys in the area over a girl,the guy in the neighbourhood reckoned one of my brothers was trying to what I will call oppress him especially as the girl was giving my brother more attention and then they go got in a fight the boy knocked my brother out lol and gave him a fat lip this last incident got my mum so mad when she got back from her business and was told that she banned not only my brother but all of us finally from associating with anybody outside the compound..the only people we were allowed to hand out with are our immediate neighbours kids who were boring and too aje butter for our liking..anyway we created our own paroles and sneaked out most times during weekends when they travel to our home town or during the many times my mum was away for one church programme or the other...since we could not associate with neighbourhood kids,we could not visit people who lived in some down town areas because she feared we could be mugged and stuff,we (i say we but it was actually my older brothers)prevailed on her and my dad that they wanted to be driving,after several refusals running into months they finally agreed for my brothers not me to be taught how to drive.After some weeks of driving lessons everyday mostly after soon plus my brothers bribing the new driver they were able to learn how to drive pretty fast and so were finally free afterwards to drive the small cars in the house meaning more friends and more girls and more partying invitations..
As soon as they started driving they began to go to more parties and date more girls,the only change to my status during this time was that instead of going out with the driver this time I got to hang out with my brothers when we went to visit their girlfriends eventually they taught me how to drive as well although mine took much longer than theirs because they didn't let anyone know as it was done in secret...another thing I forgot to add was that my mum is absolutely scared of driving and accidents generally which informed her reluctance to allow any of us to drive or be in the car on our own.
Like i said my brothers social life was transformed as soon as they started driving,sometimes when my parents travelled rather than respecting themselves to driving the small cars they will sneak the big cars my parents used which made them even more popular amongst both girls and guys,one weekend i think it was a saturday,my parents had travelled to our hometown as usual and my brothers as usual had prepared and arranged to go out for one of their outings,i tried my luck if they will take me with them but they refused saying i will cramp their style and i was still a small boy...imagine a senior secondary student a small boy...anyway they left me at home even having the cheek to tell me that if mumsie called like she tended to do at times to check if everything is ok i should cover them,with that they left me at home and drove off to a party in one of the cars..i was thinking of what to do as i was really bored out of my mind,i was watching some nollywood movies alone in the house when my friends from my former school called me up (if you remember in my escapade with the teaching assistant i stated that she introduced me to two other students who had similar background and situation as mine,they were not teansferred out of the school like i was and we still got in touch and visited each other's houses)anyway as i was saying they asked me what i was up to and i told them i was just chilling at home watching nollywood movies...so they asked me if i could come and meet them at lagos country club which is a family club located in ikeja g.r.a area of lagos and that from there they had been invited to a party in ikoyi being held by a female family friend who incidentally was a student in my new private school i got transfered to(remember how we finished the escapade with the teaching assistant with me moving to a new school) without being told I knew that meant enough girls would be present not just enough girls but students from my new school will be at the party,secondly my chatting skills had become rusty as I have been doing my calabar paroles prior to that particular time so I needed to hand out and mix with my age group and friends circles again I was really excited and quickly rushed into my room to sort out the clothes I would be wearing to the party which occupied my time for the next hour and half,later I ironed my clothes and freshened up,all fresh and perfumed,one of my friend's driver brought them to the club and would be taking us to the party and everywhere we needed to go however as soon as I got downstairs and approaching the gate the devil started to tempt me if I had known the outcome of my actions I would have quietly gone outside to meet the driver my friend sent to pick me up and take me to the Lagos country club to meet them…
since my brothers had taught me how to drive,i had been itching to drive on my own on the roads,but never been givi an opportunity to do so although i often drove on the road with my brother once in a while when they wanted to get me to do something for them but it is not the same as me being in control of a car on my own...like i said as soon as i got outside and seeing all the cars just parked there,nobody at home but the two day security guards at the gate and the gardener in mufti sitting with them and a girl hawker all of them doing GOD knows what,I tried calling my brothers to ask them what they taught of my drivi one of the cars,but they were not picking up which I know was deliberate like they normally do..like i said my friends were not driving,as I stood there thinking of the positives and the negatives,I was also considering what will happen if my parents found out..what if they arrived after I left? I knew that my mum will ground me for the next ten years lol
WILL CONTINUE LATER THANKS FOR READING….
